I have to create a view where the filename is seperated from the path
to the file. Examples of the data include:
m:imagesigmyimg.jpg
m:imagesmediummyimg.jpg
z:mediaimageshighqualmyimg.jpg
Is there a function that will return the position in a string of the
last ? With this I can easily use substring or similar to pull and
push this stuff into the fields I want. If this function does not
exist how do I move forward?
Doesn't appear you can do this.
Am I wrong?
Please tell me I am.

HI,
We have a SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition SP3 running on the server. we have also applied the recent vulnerability patch
Some of the databases has been attached using sp_attach_db
When I run the below queries
select * from sysfiles
sp_helpdb databasename
The database file path for the log file looks like '\'
f:MSSQLData\databasname.ldf
when the database was attached the query doesn't had that
The query used ''
f:MSSQLDatadatabasname.ldf
But there is no problem with the log files.
But I don't know why it shows like that.
It is any kind of SQL Bug.
Please help.
Thanks,
Anu
Hi All,
Can anyone help me know if it is possible to use Environmental variables to resolve the file path in SSIS Packages.
If i Specify the Environmental Variable its not resolving the filepath for eg:
I created an environmental variable as "D:Foldernamefilename" as [%PQY_SSIS%]
When i give %MSY_SSIS_FULL% in Expressions its not finding the path the package is failing.
Please give your inputs on this.
Thanks,
SVGP.
Hi Champs,
Scenario Configuration : VB.net 2005 Code, WebService for Executing SSIS on Server, SSIS deployed on the Database Server
Problem Description : We are developing windows applicaiton in which we call webservice which was deployed on the same server where SSIS packages are deployed.
Now from Code we are passing FilePath name in variable and execute the Package. But the SSis result says that
The file name "\computernamefol1fol2fol3fol4abc.txt" specified in the connection was not valid.
More Information:
1. Full Permission are given on this network folder.
2. Package executes successfully from SSIS development solution (BIS solution)
3. Deployed packed executes successfully from the Database Server.
4. From Development pc packege executes successfully.
5. Other packages deployed on the same server executed suucessfully with same configuration and scenario.
Only this package is not executing.
-- the only differece with this package with other is -
using ".txt" extension in Flat file connection and using VB Script task
Can any one suggest the appropirate solution for this problem...
Thanks

Any ideas on what i need to do to fix this?
I have a FileTable as part of an application that a client uses. In general the response of the SQL Server has been great. However, they have started to make use of a part of the application that handles images. The application has a FileTable set up. However, there is a Stored Procedure that retrieves the path of the requested file. It is taking the Server over two seconds to return a single file path.
USE [BMIPictureDB]
GO
/****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[GetFileTablePath] Script Date: 8/31/2015 6:07:37 AM ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetFileTablePath]
[Code] ....
If you use "SELECT filename FROM sys.sysdatabases" this will return
the full path , such as "E:MSSQLdatamyData.MDF" ,
is it possible to return just the "myData.MDF" part of it?
I know that you can parse the string , but is it stored somewhere else , or is there a command that will return just the physical file name ?

Hi Guys, got a question that I'm not sure there is an answer to other than 'No Way'.
I have to export a file whose filename must include a sequence number. I have created the table to hold the seq# and the code to increment it. My problem is how do I include the seq# in the output filename. I am using the Flat File Destination tool for exporting. should I be using another tool?
Any suggestions?
Thanx,

I have a sql2005 db. I'm trying to perform a query that takes a list of values in a parm, breaks them up and uses them in an IN clause as follows:
<code>
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SelectPartialOrderListByDate] @StoreID varchar(255)ASBEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON; SELECT DISTINCT O.OrderID, M.InitialSalesCode, M.DateOccurred, M.ErrorCode FROM dbo.OrderInfo O WITH (NOLOCK) INNER JOIN dbo.Message M WITH (NOLOCK) ON O.OrderID = M.OrderID WHERE O.StoreID IN (@StoreID)END
</code>
The values coming into the procedure are obviously in a varchar string format.
Notice the boldfacing above. The values within this IN clause should be something like this after the conversion: IN (87,108).
How can I accomplish this? I've seen examples of creating a UDF and returning a table, but am not sure how to apply that to my situation via a code sample.
Could someone help me out?
aaaaa,bbbb,ccccc,dddd,ffff,gggg,llll,kkkk,nnnnn

I everyone, I have been on the admin side of IT for the past 20 years and recently started to do some scripting (VBscript) and a little SQL.
I have developed a solution to meet the needs of some federal auditors, but not really met my needs yet.
What I have done is this.
I use MS Logparser to go out to 64 servers and copy the event logs into a DB on a SQL 2000 Ent. Server.
On the SQL server I have one StoredProcedure that parses out information from the security event log DB and put that info into a temp DB.
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
go
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[stp_SecurityAuditReport]
AS
TRUNCATE TABLE SecurityEvents_Tmp
-- Parse Bank Number & UserName
INSERT INTO SecurityEvents_Tmp(DepartmentNumber, UserName, EventLog, RecordNumber, TimeGenerated, TimeWritten, EventID, EventType, EventTypeName, EventCategory, EventCategoryName, SourceName, Strings, ComputerName, SID, Message, Data)
SELECT
DepartmentNumber = '001',
UserName = CASE
WHEN Strings LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9]%'
THEN SUBSTRING(Strings,1,charindex('|',Strings,1)-1)
WHEN Strings LIKE '-|[0-9][0-9][0-9]%'
THEN SUBSTRING(Strings,3,charindex('|',Strings,3)-3)
WHEN Strings LIKE '-|[a-z]%'
THEN SUBSTRING(Strings,3,charindex('|',Strings,3)-3)
WHEN Strings LIKE 'Account Unlocked. |%'
THEN SUBSTRING(Strings,21,charindex('|',Strings,21)-21)
ELSE SUBSTRING(Strings,1,charindex('|',Strings,1)-1)
END,
Events.*
FROM Events
JOIN EventsToLog on Events.EventID = EventsToLog.EventID
WHERE SID NOT LIKE 'S-%'
-- Update blank usernames
UPDATE SecurityEvents_Tmp SET UserName = 'NO USERNAME'
WHERE UserName = '' OR UserName = '-'
-- Update DepartmentNumbers with zeros
UPDATE SecurityEvents_Tmp SET
DepartmentNumber = CASE
WHEN UserName LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9][a-z]%' OR
UserName LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9]#%' OR
UserName LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9]$%'
THEN SUBSTRING(UserName,1,3)
ELSE '001' END
As you can see, we use 3 didgit numeric prefixes on all Departmental employee accounts. This is later used to produce departmenntal user audit reports.
I then have this script in a DTS that exports the report to an excel spreadsheet. (All works well for this purpose!)
DECLARE @TimeGenerated datetime
SELECT @TimeGenerated = TimeGenerated FROM SecurityEvents_TimeGenerated
DECLARE @TimeGeneratedEnd datetime
SELECT @TimeGeneratedEnd = TimeGeneratedEnd FROM SecurityEvents_TimeGenerated
SELECT DepartmentName = CASE WHEN b.DepartmentName IS NULL
THEN 'All Department' ELSE b.DepartmentName END,
a.EventID,d.EventDescription,a.UserName, a.TimeGenerated,c.Email1,c.Email2,c.Email3,c.Email4
FROM SecurityEvents_Tmp a
LEFT JOIN DepartmentList b on a.DepartmentNumber = b.DepartmentNumber
LEFT JOIN EmailToList c on b.DepartmentNumber = c.DepartmentNumber
JOIN EventsToLog d on a.EventID = d.EventID
WHERE b.Departmentnumber in (select Departmentnumber from Departmentlist)
AND a.TimeGenerated BETWEEN @TimeGenerated AND @TimeGeneratedEnd
ORDER BY b.DepartmentNumber,a.EventID,a.TimeGenerated
This combination of utils and scripts does very good for producing generic security reports for branch officers.
But now I am getting requests to justify/explain what is in these reports. The problem I have is that the information needed to delve further into the event logs is in a field called Strings. This field not only changes in length and the amount of fields within this string, but the information in this field changes depending on the type of event record it came from.
This is the Strings field from a failed logon (529)
200jenil|DOMAIN|10|User32 |Negotiate|SERVER|SERVER$|DOMAIN|(0x0,0x3E7)|6920|-|10.190.12.10|48397
And this is from Event ID 642 which was an account being created.
-|381$cmiller|DOMAIN|%{S-1-5-21-3554868564-134719009-1577582102-7972}|Jmotta|DOMAIN|(0x0,0x58F635E)|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|%%1792|-|-
Now, my script does a good job of getting the first user name out but as in the 642 event the second users name would be useful as well. This is the person that created/modified the user account.
So what I was hoping was that I could use a function (or whatever) to automaticaly split the Strings value into it's individual components and put them into an auto-sizing temp table as something like Field1, Field2, Field3, and so on until the end of string.
I could then use a case to get the information needed.
HELP PLEASE!!
Thank You,

I have a large db (sql 2005 express) that is, well, basically a mess. It is not normalized properly and contains masses amount of data (due to so much repeating data). To make a long story short - this db needs to be redesigned, but management said no, so that is not an option - so please, no one suggest that that's what I do.
My application creates reports based on this db - the problem is, the sp's are slow - and when a report needs to run several reports, it takes a long time to run. The sp's and db have been optimized as best I can (adding indexes etc.,)
I was wondering if there is a way to split the db - what I want to do is just retain, say 2 years of data in 1 db, and store the rest of the data in the other db, as 2 years worth of data is 95% of what will be queried. I did copy over 2 years worth for testing, and reports that took 30 minutes in the existing db, take less than 1 minute (sometimes even faster) in the new db - a huge improvement.
My problem is how to deal with the times that I need more than 2 years worth of data - how do I query both db's to get my application to read the data from both db's so that it seems that I am only running one db? The new db would be updated daily with new data, but not the old db - so if I had to query 10 years worth of data, I need 2 years from the first db, and then the 8 yeas from the second db.
If anyone can provide some feedback or point me in the right direction of what I should research in order to accomplish the above - I would appreciate it.
If anyone knows of a better solution - please don't be shy - speak up! :)
Thanks - ann

Does anyone know how to execute a directory listing of a file and return the file name to a variable in SQL? For instance, there's a file called c:datach20011010.txt and i execute the following:

or any other transact sql or procedure, how can i get the filename into a variable...all in sql?
FYI - I need to pass a filename to a process so that it can bcp the data into a temp table. But I don't know the filename at the time the process is setup/scheduled.

Hi,
I am using a foreach loop to go through the .txt files inside a folder.
Using a variable I can pickup the filenames the loop is going through.
At present there is a sql task inside the foreach loop which takes the filename as a parameter and passes this filename to a stored procedure.
Now I would like to add one extra step before this sql task. Would like to have a dataflow with flatfile source which connects to oledb destination.
The question is:
While in the loop, how is it possible to pass the filename to the flatfile source using the FileName variable which I have created?
Please note, this is a different question to my other post.
Many Thanks
Hi,
I think I may have mis-guided some of you in my previous post.
So I thought I explain it properly this time in a new post...
Here is the description of the ssis package:
Inside the connection manager there is a connection to the sql server database and a flat file connection.
The flat file connection inside the connection manager has the expression set
i.e. ConnectionString set to @[User::FileName]
And so there is nothing inside the connectionstring property of this flatfile connection.
Inside control flow:
1)
Dataflow which contains a flat file source and an ole db destination
The flatfile source is supposed to pickup the .csv file that gets passed to the ssis package.
Then the ole db destination is where the .csv gets imported into a sql server table.
2)
Back in the control flow, there is a task that calls a stored procedure with the parameter which is set to FileName
The question is:
How does this FileName parameter gets set before it is passed to the stored procedure?
Many thanks
HI,
I am writing data from a file in to a table and i have a field in that table for filename. How to read the file name to write in that table.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Using a ssis package I have several tasks.
A variable is also created called FileName.
There is a flat file connection called InputFileName.
initially when I designed the package, I hardcoded the pass of one of the .csv files into the path of the flatfile connection.
There is a dataflow which has flatfile source and oledb destination. These two basically pickup the file and import into the database using mapping.
So therefore the package works and data gets imported into the database.
Then I used the variable to make the filename dynamic. So I removed the hardcoded connectionstring in the InputFileName.
Is this the right thing to do to make the package dynamic? I would like to pass in any .csv filename and so the package runs.
My question is now that the connectionstring is deleted but instead placed an expression for the filename, then how does the system know which file to use?
Thanks
