First, let me start by saying I know the answer to this, but due to politics any answer I give will be viewed with some disdain and disbelief.
A Unix/Network [rtdpmin one our sister agencies is trying to solve a problem that really does not need to be solved, but ....
The sister agency uses Information Builder's WebFocus on Unix. When they try to read my data warehouse in SQL Server 2000 it times out on them (on their end and they claim they cannot fix it) (This is using the supplied WebFocus ODBC/JDBC driver for SQL Server). This has lead to accusations of us not letting them read the data.
After much gnashing of teeth over "if you do data and data analysis for a living, why do I have to show you how to set-up an ODBC connection" we have shown them how to connect to the data, read it, and transfer it using MS-ACCESS, EXCEL, and more importantly SPSS. This is not good enough because they cannot figure out how to put it into WebFocus.
Their network person has come-up with the brilliant idea of reading the .mdf directly by installing Windows for Unix on the Unix side and then just pointing to the .mdf file and "reading it ".
Unless I have missed something somwhere (I will admit possible), I know you need a driver to read MS-SQL and that driver in every example I have seen could care less about the physical location of the .mdf file. It wants to know what database, what server (ip or name) and what security/login to use.
Could someone give me a more "technical answer" or even Microsoft's party line so I do not have this person mucking around with my production server trying to acomplish the impossible.
i am preaparing POC Document for SSIS and also compare with already created Job in Oracle Using Data Stage Server. The follwing List tasks are we can do in Data Stage Sever.
" 1. Unix Shell scripts can be called before/after the job runs.
2. Programming can be done through:
a. Routines
b. Macros
c. Subroutines
d. Functions
e. Expressions
3. Programming can be done in Mainframe jobs and COBOL code and JCL files can be generated.
4. The DataStage Reporting Tool is flexible and allows you to generate reports at various levels within a project, for example, entire job, single stage, set of stages, etc. "
The above Task will we do in SSIS Pacakge or not ? pls any one give me the correct answer?
Hi I am trying to schedule a job to copy an MDB data file from Unix server to Windows 2003 server (Accfp1_data2_server). I have created a file copy SSIS package and tested it in the SSIS Visual Studio environment where it runs ok. The package was created while logged in as a domain administrator.
I then created a job to run this package (which is stored on a folder) using the credential of the same domain administrator who has full access privilege to both of these servers. However, the job fails whenever it is run manually or scheduled? The error message displayed is given below --------------------------------------------------------------- Message Executed as user: FORTIESABCITYG.

Please note that the job runs without problem when I change the source file to a Windows 2000 server share . How bizzare? Hope this is not a Microsoft's Trick?
I've been tasked with coming up with a process to delete old files out of a certain directory. It's prefered to have a configuration file to go in and be able to change the number of days to retain files (7 for delete files older than 7 days for example). I've been told I can do this with SSIS. Can anybody point me in the right direction to do this in SSIS or even in DOS? I don't know ActiveX scripting if that's what's needed in SSIS. I prefer doing something like this in DOS but not sure it's possible to automate. Any help is appreciated.
What is the best way to do delete/insert/update in a database in SSIS. I am looking to achieve something similar to what was there in a Data Driven Query in SQL Server 2000. I would like to delete/insert/update the destination table based on the condition that my lookuptable returns
For ex
If "the user in my source table has changed the status" Then
Update the user row in the destination table
Else skip the row
If "the user in my source table has delete flag =1 " Then
Delete the user in the destination table
Else skip the row
If "the user in my source table is new(has a new ID) " Then
I am trying to do the following for a few tables in my DB. I have an ODBC datasource and would simply like to update my DB from this datasource. I want to pull the table data from my ODBC datasource, delete any existing data in my SQL tables and then insert the data from my ODBC datasource into SQL. I am trying to create an SSIS package to do this but am not sure where to start. Any help or examples would be appreciated.
We have a package that has a connection called Load_DimItem.trc. We don't need this logging enabled for this package anymore. However, if I delete the connection, and delete the log provider (SSIS log provider for SQL profiler), I get errors when trying to close the package after debugging. I get: "Cannot detach from one or more processes. [3172] The object invoked has disconnected from its clients."
I finally put together a SSIS package that takes a Text File and successfully imports its data into the right table. My question is, where in the package's properties can I find the option to Delete all rows from Destination Columns prior to Importing. I have looked everywhere in the Package Explorer for this setting. Thanx in advance.
I want to delete all files in a given folder that are older than 3 days from today's date.
I tried using a "Foreach Loop container" with a "File System" task inside it but found I couldn't access any file properties such as the file creation date. Am I using the wrong task for this job?
TIA,

P.S. History of the problem:
I used the sql 2005 Database maintenance program to setup our database backup jobs. One day I noticed that the free space on the drive where we keep the dumps had grown small. I found that we had at least 4 weeks of dumps in there, not the 3 days I wanted to keep! I looked but could not find the "delete file" option in the SSIS package generated by the Database Maintenance Wizard. No wonder the files were piling up.
I want only last yesterday data that's why i put the condition at oledb source and it working fine.It fetch previous day of data but at the time of lookup , it lookup all data from the beginning and provide the error of insufficient space.
1.how lookup contain only yesterday data.
2.What to do for lookup all data (adding space is the solution or something else to do)
3.I want to transfer 100 of tables data everyday. this article is only for transferring one table data.For transferring the data of another table add dataflow task below to Apply stages update or add another sequence container.
I'm looking at SSIS and SqlBulkCopy as a possible method to quickly insert and process large amounts of data, my current method uses the sp_xml_preparedocument and OPENXML to parse an xml document of the data I want to process and insert into the database, however I'm noticing the performance of SqlServer parsing the xml document isn't that good.
I found the C# SqlBulkCopy method (new in .NET 2.0) and I was thinking it would be faster to use that to load my data into a staging table and then use SSIS to extract the data from the staging table, process and transform it as necessary and finally load it into the final destination tables. I was able to create an Integration Services Project that selects the data from the staging table, does a bit of processing on one of the fields (by calling a stored procedure), and finally loads the processed data into the final table.
The problem with this is I need to clean out the rows that were extracted from the staging table and I'm not sure how I can accomplish this (and I can't just issue a "delete from staging_table" because there maybe new records in the staging table that were not processed), perhaps I can either delete each record as it is proccessed or somehow get the last proccessed identity id from the staging table and delete all records less than or equal to that id.
thanks in advance for any help you can provide, maybe there is an easy way to accomplish what I'm trying to do.
I have to truncate access table before I insert records to access database table.
I tried using Delete From Table_name or Truncate table Table_NAME and I have used Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider. It does not seem to work. I read some post on forums. None of them seem to work while truncating or deleting records from one of the access database table.
Is there any easy way to truncate access database without using script component and VB scripts. I do not know how to Write VB scripts so trying to find alternatives.
I have a ssis package which identifies duplicate records in access database. I have staged access database into sql sever and created ssis package. Now, I have final list of records which needs to be delete from access database and new records which are to be inserted into access database.
What do I need to do if I want to delete those duplicate records directly from access database using SSIS. I cannot truncate whole access database and reload. I just have to delete duplicate rows from access db and add new records.
I am very new to this board and I am not sure whether the following question belongs to this board. I will ask it anyway.
Can someone tell me where (book or web site or an example) I can go to learn how to be able to connect to a SQL Server database in a unix (in my case Solaris) environment using C/C++. I have been doing database programming using Oracle, Acess on NT with C/C++/ODBC comfortabley. I just need to learn how to go about in a Unix environment.
We have done a complex software with VB using SQL Server through ADO. Nowour customer is planning to switch from SQL Server to Unix/Aix Oracle 8 DB.I'm a newbie both in Oracle and Unix and wonder how this will affect oursoftware. Would changing the connection string be enough (I quess not).Any help would be appreciated !Jyrki HamalainenLaukaa, Finlandjyrki . hamalainen @ ids . fi
Hi we are in an envireonment where we use unix/linux mostly.. there are a lot of apps that run on this environment(eg coldfusion)now the concern for us is to be able to access the sql database on the NT/win2k boxes..what could be a solution for this are there any drives that any one can suggest for talking from unix to nt??
Is anyone has an experience with choosing between MS SQL7 (or 6.5) on NT Server box and Sybase on Unix (UnixWare 2) box to use this server as WEB server? Could you tell just a couple of advantages and disadvantages of each of those systems, or to point me at the source of useful for this compare information. Any help is very appreciated. Thanks
Has anyone tried to connect to a SQL Server 2K running on Windows 2000 from a unix machine? If so then could you provide me some help? Thanks in advance
Is it possible to insert a timestamp into a db if it's in this format?
Sep-04-13 07:13
I don't need it to stay in this format. I just need to know if I can cast it as a unix timestamp somehow & insert or if the manipulation to the datetime fomrat has to happen before inserting.
I have UNIX application, running on AIX, SUN and HP, (RISC & Itanium). This application working with Oracle, via OCI, and OCCI, (I can use ODBC as well).
I would like replace Oracle with SQL-Sever.
Does there is a way/driver to access MS-SQL Server from Unix?
