I need to export a table from SQL Server to an XML file using SSIS. Using the SSIS wizard I see no way of exporting to an XML file. Can someone point me to an article that shows me how to do this.
Thanks

Hi gurus,
I've created a linked server (and set up the corresponding schema.ini file) in order to perform bulk-inserts from some CSV text files into SQL tables (from my standpoint the text files are just for reading purposes). The linked server works fine (I can select the data in the files without a problem).
Now the question: is possible to automatically detect when one or more of those files change in order to start the import process automatically? Something like having a trigger created on the CSV files Or there's no easy way to do that so I have, to say something, to create a Job that periodically checks if the files have changed programatically (say, recording each file's timestamp everytime is imported and comparing the recorded value with the current one, or whatever)?
Thanks a lot in advance!
I proposed on a new server that we separate Data Files, Log Files, tempDB, Backups, etc. onto separate LUNS on a SAN with High Speed Solid State Drives.I was told that with the new technology with solid state SAN's that it would decrease performance and that it did not work the same way as it did when you had RAID 5's etc.I thought that if things were cared out correctly by a SAN Administrator they would know how to configure for optimal performance.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the need to delete old backup files via TSQL job. Found this solution online:
PushD "
emoteservershareDIFF" &&(
forfiles -m *DIFF*.sqb -d -1 -c "cmd /c del /q @path"
) & PopD
It works remotely if I run it via command prompt. But when I add this to a TSQL job on my remote SQL instance, it runs without deleting anything. What I'm missing?
In the For Loop, How to Iterate from Older flat files to Newer flat files based on File's Timestamp. If there are some older files in that folder, it should be processed first and then continue with the newer one.
Any Suggestions?
In the first step of my SSIS package I need to get files from FTP and dump it/them in a local directory, but it's more than that, the logic is like this:
1. If no file(s) found, stop executing and send email saying no file(s) found;
2. If file(s) found, then compare it/them with existing files in our archive folder; if file(s) already exist in archive folder, stop executing and send email saying file(s) already existed, if file(s) not in archive folder yet, then transfer it/them to the local directory for processing.
I know i have to use a script task to do this and i did some research and found examples for each of the above 2 steps and not both combined, so that's why I need some help here to get the logic incorporated right.
Thanks for the help in advance and i apologize for the long lines of code!

Good Evening All,
I've serached this forum and Google'd for a resolution to this issue, to no avail. Here's the scenario:
I'm running VS 2005 on Windows Media Center laptop and need to create ASP.net membership for my web application built using VB. I have SQL Server Developer installed with instance name MSSQLSERVER. Previously, I uninstalled SQL Express and installed Developer edition and can now open and utilize Management Studio.
Now, when I try to create a new SQL Server database in my solution's App_Data directory, I receive the above error. I already changed instance name in VS2005 per Tools-Options-Database Tools-Data Connections to MSSQLSERVER.
Could someone provide me with a list of procedures to ensure proper setup of VS2005 with SQL Server Developer Edition?
Thanks much for your help.
I want to schedule a job which pulls files from a non SQL server (Sybase) which later needs to have a step 2 kicking the ssis package. Problem is that, on the source a batch file will run every 4 hours and outputs total of 10 text files. (takes 5 minutes complete). Now, on destination i want to pull these files via SQL job but while scheduling;
1. I don't see any option saying like 4 hours 10 minutes or so
2. If its out there, then i believe this might be a problem as this time would be an increment one e.g next run would be 4 hours 20 minutes in that case.
How should i achieve pulling these files up because we have an SSIS package on destination that needs those text files to be used as soon as they arrive on SQL server(destination)
When ever I click on an MDF file in VS2005 I get the following message.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHey guys,Today I installed the full version of SQL Server 2005. Made a connection to it through VS.NET2005 and created a database. So the installation and running seems to be ok. Then right-clicked on my ASP.NET2.0 Website project, here I click on Add New Item and go for a SQL Server Database. I remember I did this with SQL Server Express and a file-based database was created in App_Data. That was very cool. But now it says I need to have SQL Server Express installed to have SQL Server file in my project.Do I have to install some specific component from my SQL Server 2005 pack? or this is only a SQL Server Express feature? By the way what's the difference? Is the file-based mode something like Microsoft Access type database? Can it handle multiple connections at a time? Please help me with this.Best Regards,Amin

View 3 Replies View RelatedHello there,
I was thinking about saving some files in a SQL Server DB and then reading those back to the client for download. Any warnings that I should know about before doing so? The files will generally be at most 2mb in probably .pdf format. I've heard bad things about doing this in Access...but then again, SQL Server isn't access.
Hi,
I recently received this cd and the client claimed it had the sql server database for their website on it. When I got the cd I have this file with no extension number what soever. I didn't think you could have sql server files put onto disks etc. Is there a way of accessing that file and taking the database tables etyc I want and putting them into a new database on my server?
Or has the client not no what they are doing and have sent me some form of rubbish?
Thanks in advance!

Is it necessary (or perhaps just beneficial, if not necessary) to create a paging file on the drive where SQL Server is installed along with the paging file on the OS drive. For example, Windows NT 4 is installed on the C drive, and SQL Server is installed on the D drive. Should I have a paging file on both drives. Someone mentioned to me that you should have a paging file for both drives, but I had never heard of that before.

Hi folks!
I have a question - do you know if there is a sql command to merge two files? Basically, I want to merge the header for the xml file with actual xml data (generated via SQL) in another file - is that possible without running any DOS commands?
Something like header.txt+myfile.xml???

Hellow, everyone:
I have PDF files on local hard drive, and want to save them to the table in SQL Server. Can I execute by SQL Server? If yes, how to do that.
Someone said to create a table with IMAGE column, and write PDF files to this table. How about details for this way?
Thanks a lot.
