A sql server 2000 table contains a ntext field that needs to be updated. The update is replacing a particular string in the ntext field. I heard it's hard to do it in sql server 2000 itself. Can it be done easily in an SSIS? Please kindly provide example. Thanks.
View 1 Repliesi define a clumn like this:
clumn name: Body
data type: ntext
then i run a store procedure which is defined as :
create insert_artcle as
(
@body ntext
)
insert into article{body}
values{@body}
but the data get into the database is truncated to 8 charactors
what is the problem? Is it has something to do with the ntext size 16?
I need to find a way to update a notes field that is ntext in a table with an update statement. The code will run as a SQL job. I though something like the following, but doesn't like it:
update dbo.myTable set notes = notes + ' addtional notes to append'
Any ideas? thanks...
Hi All,
I will be doing stress test for my app.
Loading thousands of records to the DB through bulk insert.
There's one field NText which I have left NULL because it will be hard to gen dummy flat file to it.
I have another table which has the Ntext Value which i will want to copy and duplicate to the other table.
what is the way to do it?
simply said i want to update a record with NULL value from one table with NText field with the value from another table..

I've got a table that I have to update in preparation for our environment move (2k to 2005 SP2). The developers that designed the application created a table called schemas, which holds the contents of an XML file inside of an ntext field named Data.I need to parse through the field and do a find/replace to replace all instances of www.site.com with www7.site.com. It's all over the place in the file. The problem is, that the datalength() of each of the fields (there are 2 rows) are above 15000.normally, I'd run something like this:update schemas set data=replace (cast(Data as varchar(max)),'www.site.com','www7.site.com') where data like '%www.site.com%'Smaller columns it works great - but it won't work on these because they're too big (the update will chop anything beyond the varchar(max) value). I could do it manually, but this DB will be refreshed from production on a weekly basis and I'd like to script as many of the environment changes to the DB as much as possible. Any ideas?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSQL Server 2000 : I have a series of tables which all have the samestructure. When any of these tables are modified I need to syncrhoniseall of those modifications with one other table wich is a sort of mergeof the individual tables with one extra column.For most of these tables this is not a problem. The problem arriveswhen one of the tables has an ntext column which obviously can not beused in an update or insert trigger.Here's an example of one of them:CREATE TABLE tblImages(ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,Inventory nvarchar(8) NOT NULL,Coll nvarchar(8) NOT NULL,ImageFile nvarchar(128) NOT NULL,ImageNotes ntext NULL,TS timestamp NULLCONSTRAINT U_Images UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED (ItemCode, Inventory, Coll,ImageFile)I then had created an update trigger which looked like this:CREATE TRIGGER COLLNAME_UTRIGGER ON COLLNAME_ImagesFOR UPDATEASBEGINUPDATE tblImages SETInventory = inserted.Inventory,Coll = 'COLLNAME',ImageFile = inserted.ImageFileName,FROM inserted INNER JOIN tblImages ON inserted.ItemCode =tblImages.ItemCode ANDinserted.Invventory = tblImages.Invventory AND tblImages.Coll ='COLLNAME' ANDinserted.ImageFileName = tblImages.ImageFileUPDATE tblImagesSET ImageNotes=inserted.NotesFROM inserted INNER JOIN tblImages ON inserted.ItemCode =tblImages.ItemCode ANDinserted.Inventory= tblImages.Inventory AND tblImages.Coll ='COLLNAME' ANDinserted.ImageFileName = tblImages.ImageFileEND " & vbCrLf)The first update in my trigger, be it an update or insert trigger,works fine. It crashes with the "Cannot use text, ntext or imagecolumns in the 'inserted' or 'deleted' tables." error in the secondpart.I have read various messages through the Internet on this and severalof them reference using INSTEAD OF triggers and views. I have neverused those before as this is my first work with SQL 2000. None of theexamples of INSTEAD OF triggers I have seen yet use the actual insertedtables and I haven't quite understood how to use them correctly.Can someone help me with the basic syntax as this trigger is one ofseveral that I am going to have to get working.Thank you in advance for any help, assistance, suggestions or"direction pointing" you may provide.

Hi,
I have an SSIS Package where I am looping through all input columns and creating an XML out of it. The Problem comes in one of the tables where I have an Ntext column. Instead of giving me the value of the column, it gives me
"Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.BlobColumn"
I am trying to get the string value from this blob column. For that I am using the below code. Can you please point me to where I am going wrong. I am not very good in VB so I might be doing some casting error.
Dim blobCol As Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.BlobColumn
Dim ByteVal As String
For Each column In Me.ComponentMetaData.InputCollection(0).InputColumnCollection
columnValue = rowType.GetProperty(column.Name)
Select Case column.DataType
Case (DataType.DT_NTEXT)
blobCol = DirectCast(columnValue.GetValue(Row, Nothing), Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.BlobColumn)
ByteVal = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(blobCol.GetBlobData(0, CInt(blobCol.Length)))
newXML += ((FormatElement(column.Name) + ReplaceSpecialChars(ByteVal) + FormatElement(column.Name, True)))
Case Else
newXML += ((FormatElement(column.Name) + ReplaceSpecialChars(columnValue.GetValue(Row, Nothing).ToString()) + FormatElement(column.Name, True)))
End Select

Hi folks,
We have a nice issue here. We are running SQL 2005 Dev edition Service Pack 2 and we are trying to copy the contents of one table in a local sql server database to another table in another database on the same local sql server. We use an oledb source and a sql server destination. The table structure is exactly the same. One column is of the datatype ntext, when we try to load the contents the package will stop with the error:
OnError 11-9-2007 14:38:24 11-9-2007 14:38:24 00:00:00 The attempt to send a row to SQL Server failed with error code 0x80004005.

The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.

OnError 11-9-2007 14:38:26 11-9-2007 14:38:26 00:00:00 A commit failed.
Removing the column from the sql server destination will result in loading the complete table. Using an oledb destination instead of sql server destination fixes the problem. Is this a bug in the SQL server destination component?
Thanks,
Marc
I am running this query to an sql server 2000 database from my aspcode:"select * from MyTable whereMySqlServerRemoveStressFunction(MyNtextColumn) = '" &MyAdoRemoveStressFunction(MyString) & "'"The problem is that the replace function doesn't work with the ntextdatatype (so as to replace the stresses with an empty string). I hadto implement the MySqlServerRemoveStressFunction, i.e. a function thattakes a column name as a parameter and returns the text contained inthis column having replaced some letters of the text (the letters withstress). Unfortunately, I could not do that because user-definedfunctions cannot return a value of ntext.So I have the following idea:"select * from MyTable whereCheckIfTheyAreEqualIngoringTheStesses(MyNtextColum n, '" & MyString &"')"How can I implement the CheckIfTheyAreEqualIngoringTheStessesfunction? (I don't know how to combine these functions to do what Iwant: TEXTPTR, UPDATETEXT, WRITETEXT, READTEXT)

View 7 Replies View RelatedI use SSIS for data's integration with a flat file to a table in sql server 2005.
In the table, i've a primary key [ArtID]. In the flat file, ArtID is duplicate and i've a date that i already sort to have a historic.
I use a script to know if the row must be inserted or be updated.
I use two sql command to insert and update data in server.
I test this in the script
count = select count(*) from table where primary key = value.
If (count = 0) then insert else update.
When i've a duplicate row in flat file i've a error with the primary key. I don't understand why i've it.
Perhaps the SQL Command commit all the row at the end of the flow.
If it's true, can i change the commit each time the line in flat file is readed !! In this case, how can i do that ??
Or i use a OLE Destination to insert with option table or view (no fast) to have a commit all the line of flat file ??
What do thing about it ??
Thanks a lot

Hello,
Can anybody explain how to make an incremental update of the DWH with SSIS. We have a financial transaction table and we only want to process the new records from our source database to our DWH.
We don't want to read all records but only the records that are new. We have a primary key on the source table so in T-SQL it is no problem to do this, but is there a way to do it in SSIS.
The lookup still reads all records from the source and then decides if the records are updated or not and it is not very fast.
Can anybody give an answer.
Greetings,
Patrick
Hi..
I want to update table using SSIS. I figured that there are two ways of it:
1. Use SQL command (but I cant use it as I have millions of rows)
2. Put updated rows in temp table and perform the batch update using Execute SQL task. (If possible, I dont want to use temp table)
Is there any other way?
Thanks
Hi,
I have written one SSIS script for Initial data load. Then everyday, there will be an incremental insert and/or update; which means there needs to be a separate script for Incremental data load.
Currently, script for initial data load has scripts containing SELECT queries. it just copies the data from source table to the destination. How should I go about putting both initial & incremental scripts together? Is there any way or do I need to build 2 separate packages ?
Thanks :)
I have two tables from two different Databases
DB1.dbo.Table1 and DB2.dbo.Table2
eX:
Table 1
KEY LName FName Updated
1 GYM ABC Y
1 TIM ABC N
1 PIN ABC N
2 QWE SAD Y
......
....
Table 2
KEY LName FName Updated
1 JIM ABC Y
2 QWE SAM Y
....
....
1) Table 1 and Table 2 are of same structure.
2) In table2, as in above example, few changes have beeen done for KEY1 AND Update =Y, Similarly KEY= 2 AND UPDATED=Y, like for KEY= 1 LName was changed to JIM instead of GYM and for KEY= 2 FName has been changed to SAM instead of SAD.
3) Now I want to do this in SSIS where
a) Its going to process rows of Table2 and check in table1 according to KEY and UPDATE=Y and update the Table1 with Updated = N and Insert that particulra process row of Table2 into Table1
and hence Resultant of Table1 must be like this
Table 1
KEY LName FName Updated
1 GYM ABC N
1 TIM ABC N
1 PIN ABC N
1 JIM ABC Y
2 QWE SAD N
2 QWE SAM Y
......

Can somebody help me how to do this in SSIS. Thnaks a lot in advance
I am still learning SSIS.
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
Insert the user in the destination table
Else skip the row
Any suggestions ....
Cheers

Hi all,
I have a Prod SSIS package and I need to changed the server name from SERV2 to SERV16. I changed it and tested the connection and it works fine.I saved the package but when I opened the Package the name of the server is unchanged.
Do I need to rebuild the package and deploy it again?
Thanks all.
Hi all,
I use a "Exec DTS 2000" task.
I have a variable user::MYVAR in my SSIS package, wich value is "PARENT".
I pass this variable as an outer variable to my dts 2000 package, wich receive it correctly, and then update it to "UPDATED".
After this task finishes, when I come back to SSIS, MYVAR is still at "PARENT".
Is it possible to see the update from the parent package ?
Thanks
During SQL Server SP2 timeframe a pending security update from the .NET Framework team was announced. That fix, when released would break any SSIS package using scripts. In response to this SQL Server Integration Services provided a fix into SP2 (as well as corresponding fixes for RTM & SP1) that would mitigate this issue, including log messages that would point to the KB below. The .NET Framework fix was released on Tuesday 7/10/2007 and thus we expect to see it surfacing on SQL Server Integration Services applications using scripts (both in data flow and control flow), most likely on machines running €˜pure€™ RTM and/or 64bit installations.
The related KB article describing the impact to SSIS packages is available here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931846
Here are the details of the .NET Framework 2.0 fixes:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928365 (for Windows XP/2003/2000)

Hi,
Is it possible to determine the date a SSIS package was last updated?
Our packages change on a regular basis so being able to determine the date that it was last updated is very useful. I can only find the creation date.

Hi,
We have a csv file which contains a date field. The data in the field contains "0" as well as "dd/mm/yyyy". Is it possible to update all "0" to "01/01/1900" on import using SSIS.
Basically when we import the flat file now it falls over due to the destination table data type being datetime.
If this is not clear please let me know and i'll try and explain more?
Thanks for any help.

Starting saturday all of our SSIS packages on a server (64-bit) starting failing (hundreds of them) the error is:
Precompiled script failed to load. Attempting to reload the script with updated data. For more information, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article, KB931846 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=81885).
That Knowledgebase link talks about SP2 fixing the issue but we have SP2 already on the server. The sysdtslog90 table is just packed with these as each script inside each package is getting the same error. Looking at the system log the following were installed as part of windows update shortly before the errors started occuring:
- Update for Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition (KB936357)
- Security Update for Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition (KB926122)
- Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0: x64 (KB928416)
- Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 2.0 (KB928365)

Hi , I am trying to update a main table from its staging table based on certain criteria
like if the checksum doesnot match for the same Business/primary key update that row in the main table .
problem what i am facing is if there are two rows in the staging table with different checksum values the main table's corresponding row gets updated with only the first row from the staging table and ignores the second row in staging , i want the update to be capturing each row. is there a way to do this task repitively in ssis.
iam using execute sql task in ssis
first step to delete all matching checksum records in staging
next update non matching checksum into main table.
i want to repeat these two steps based until condition that count of rows in staging is equal to zero .
is there a way to acheive this please let me know.
for example
staging main table
name age checksum name age checksum
xyz 26 456 xyz 24 876
xyz 28 234
my result should have in main table
xyz 28 234
but instead i am getting xyz 26 456
i want the update statement row by row not set based . please help me with this
Hi,
I have an example situation that seems like it should have a super easy solution, but my jobs keep failing.
Here we go. . .
I have a SQL Server 2005 table as my source in a data flow task.
This table contains raw data.
We'll call it FACT_Product_Raw - which contains a field called ProductType varchar(1)
Let's say that ProductType contains values of "A" or "B" or "C" - or for that matter, some null and garbage values
I have a lookup table, LOV_Product_Types
This table contains 3 fields that will transform my raw data table
We'll call these fields ProdTypeID smallint, ProdTypeRaw varchar(1) and ProdType smallint
It contains pairs such that A = 1, B = 2, and so on.
Here's what I want to do.
I want to ADD a field to FACT_Product_Raw that contains the "looked up" value from LOV_Product_Types.
Let's say that I want to add the ProdTypeID field to my _Raw table.
I have used the _Raw table as both my source and destination
It blows up every time.
Help.
Thanks,
David
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 built a small package two years ago that uses Flat File Sources to copy in small text data files. Â Each source connection object has a UNC path to flat text files on another server. Â The source system changed, so I opened the package and updated the UNC path in one Connection Manager object, and clicked OK. The Flat File Source Editor that uses this source seemed to be able to see the new location when I clicked "Preview". Â Then I went back to the file source, and the connection had reverted back to the original one. Â it would not save the new UNC path. Â
I am using SQL Server 2012 SP2 with SSDT (run as admin). Â I closed the package in SSDT, edited the connection strings using XMLnotepad, and was then able to open, test, build and deploy the package.
It seems that the Source object will not let itself be changed. Â The other option is to delete it and recreate it, but I didn't want to remap the fields.
Why updating a connection object is not working?
What are the options for a user to trigger an ssis package or job, it needs to be user friendly or in excel can I have a custom component to do update statements or trigger job?
