Hi,
I need to extract a table from someother database in which one of the city columns with datatype CHAR has city values but all the values are appended by dots at the end...like:
"Newyork.............."
"Boston..............."
"Chicago.............."
"Los Angeles..........."
After extracting the table/data , i will have to do some transformations and lookups on the table....and at the same time i will have to remove the dots and load the table/data in to another SQL Server Database, i dont think i can use the substring as each record's length is different.
I am trying to load a SQL 2005 table which contains an XML data type using SSIS. The source is a text data file which is driven by a record-type (ie. 01 = course; 02 = conference) that will be used to determine the format of the XML. Being not too familiar with XML, I am struggling with the proper way to generate the XML which I can output to a string column.
Do I use xmlTextWriter for this or someother method?
Is there a way to output the formatted Xml as a string column from my Script Transformation? Should I be using a stream data column?
Are there any good examples that I can refer to? As you can probably tell I am clueless how to handle the XML. Can I even move the xml result to a string???
Im working with a breaking system and I wont to convert the (FROM) datetime column to accept just time like (4:00:00 AM) without the date (7/23/2004) but it doesn’t have column format like the access ?? I found something in the SQL help :
How to convert the format of a Date Time String transformation (Enterprise Manager) To convert the format of a Date Time String transformation 1.On the Transformations tab of the Transform Data Task Properties or Data Driven Query Task Properties dialog box, click the Source column containing the date or time to be modified, and then click the Destination column where you want the modified string to be placed. 2.Do one of the following: •If there is a mapping arrow connecting the two columns, click Delete, and then click New. •If there is no mapping arrow, click New. 3.In the Create New Transformation dialog box, click DateTime String. 4.Click the General tab, and then click Properties. 5.In the Date Format list, select the format you want. 6.Click Naming to display the Calendar Names dialog box, where you can select long or short day or month names and the A.M. and P.M. designators you want. 7.In the Language list, select the language you want, and then click Set Language Defaults. But unfortunately I didn't find the "Transformations tab" I look a lot in the SQL Enterprise Manager
Do anybody work with the Transformations or at least know where is it please ???
The Lookup Transformation fails to match this datatype when full caching is enabled. When partial caching is activated (Edit > Advanced, Enable Memory Restrictions > Enable Caching) the lookup works.
Hi, I have dates in "mmddyy" format coming from the sources and they are older dates of mid 80s like 082580 for instance.
When I cast it this way (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) Source_Date , It says ok but throws a runtime error.
When I hardcode a date in same format, (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) "082580" , It becomes red (an indication of syntax error) . Please note that we use double quotes in expressions in Derived Column Transformation; So an anticipation that using double quotes over single ones would be the syntax problem would be wrong.
In my package , I am used CDC Source transformation and received the Net changes then insert into Destination. But whatever Data coming from CDC source data type Varchar value needs to Converting Non Unicode string to Unicode string SSIS. So used Data conversion transformation to achieved this. I need to achieve this without data conversion.
If you have two synchronous transformation components and the input of the second is connected to the output of the first, does the first transformation process (loop through) all rows in the buffer before outputting these rows to the second transformation? Or does the first transformation output each individual row to the second transormation as soon as it has finished processing it?
Hello I trying to do some transformation using javascript. I have a table with 40 columns that I need dynamicaly mapped to another table. For example I need to test each Column of tableA if Col1 of TableA looks like an email address map it to TableB email if it looks like a zip map it to Email...
I need to do this with Javascript
if someone could point me in the right direction that would be great
lets say I start small test each col in TableA for an @ sign if I find it map to Email if I can get the idea of how to do that I can do this
plz tell me abt look up transformation , i need to look up with 3 source files ,1 flat file another 2 are compared with databases, how can we use that ....
I am a bit familiar with SSIS, but I have not used it in about a year. However, this is my question. We have a couple of reports that are being done in SSRS and our customer also requires some of these reports to be exported to a flat file. Somebody suggested using SSIS to do this.
What transformation element should I use to transform the data to a flat file destination. For instance, I have a column with a value of 10250. The customer specifies that this column must be right-justified with leading zeros. So I need to take that and convert it to a field length that is 12 characters long. It would ultimately be 000000010250.
The data source is returning columns that are both numeric and strings.
Hi, we are trying to implement this logic in SSIS data flow task
We have 2 datasets
Dataset 1 has Emplid and Actiondate. (from Oracle Database instance I) Dataset 2 has Emplid, ProjectID ,Project Start_Date ,Project_End_Date (from Oracle Database instance II)
Logic is
select ProjectID from Dataset 2 where Dataset 1.Emplid = Dataset 2.Emplid and Dataset 1.Actiondate between Dataset 2.Project Start_Date and Dataset 2.Project_End_Date.
for first condition we have used merge join between 2 datasets.
for second condition we are trying to use look up transformation... it did'nt help... if i want to write an query where do i write that???
I have a scenario where in I need to use a comma delimited string as input. And search the tables with each and every string in the comma delimited string.
We have some URLs within a bulk block of text some of which are very long. I need to identify rows where such urls exceed say 100 characters in length in amongst other text.So the rule would be return a record if within the string there is a string (without spaces) longer than 100 characters.
I have following query which return me SP/Views and Functions script using:
select DEFINITION FROM .SYS.SQL_MODULESNow, the result looks like Create proc create procedure create proc create view create function
I need its result as:
Alter Procedure Alter Procedure Alter Procedure Alter View Alter Function
I used following
select replace(replace(replace(DEFINITION,'CREATE PROCEDURE','Alter Procedure'), 'create proc','Alter Procedure'),'create view','Alter View') FROM .SYS.SQL_MODULESto but it is checking fixed space like create<space>proc, how can i check if there are two or more spaces in between create view or create proc or create function, it should replace as i want?
I am trying to insert a row into a table of Microsoft SQL Server 2000.
There are various columns.
[SNO] [numeric](3, 0) NOT NULL , [DATT] [char] (32) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL , [DATTA] [char] (3000) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL , [CODECS] [char] (32) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ,
The [DATTA] column is causing a problem. Even if I am trying to put only 1700 character string into [DATTA], the java code throws the following exception:-
StaleConnecti A CONM7007I: Mapping the following SQLException, with ErrorCode 0 and SQLState 08S01, to a StaleConnectionException: java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Connection reset
at com.microsoft.jdbc.base.BaseExceptions.createException(Unknown Source)
Why is it throwing an exception even though the sum-total of this row doesn't exceed 8000 characters?
I am trying to transform data from a text file to a SQL Server table and one particular column I want to split it to three other columns. It is erroring out when I try to split the column from the source in the Active X script while doing the transformation.
Is it possible to have more number of Columns in the destination when compared to the source.
We are transferring data between AS/400 and SQL Server 7.0 using DTS. Some of these transfers may need to be very close to real time. It doesn't seem like a continuously running job is the best solution for that.
Do you know any tools or utilities that can help us to move the data?
Please help,I am using SQL Server 7 and this is the first time I am using DTS. Can I import a text file with 3 fields to a table which has those 3 fields and also another 2 fields? Can somebody help with the ActiveX script to accomplish this? And one of the extra 2 fields in the table is a timestamp field. It needs to be timestamped automatically. Can somebody please help? Thank you in advance

hi all, i am trying to convert getdate()to yyyymmdd type of output using derived column transformation and this transformation doesnot recognise CONVERT function. this is what iam trying to do 2007-01-01 00:00:00.000 to 20070101
I have an Access Database that I have imported into SQL Server2000 and that worked great, but now I have to get it into 2005. My question is, How can I get the tables and all info in the tables into an SQL Script so I can run that script on the 2005 server?
The SQL 2000 is on my dev server and I have all the Tools, (Ent Manager, Query Analyzer,etc...) but the 2005 Server is Godaddy's and they only have the basic web interface. I can run Sql files and create databases and tables, but thats about it.
I am doing something really simple and it doesnt work, may be I am missing something, What I am trying to accomplish is to load a fact table using lookup transaformation, however my source data was different from the data in my dimension (or the datatype ) I had to use a data conversion task before my lookup , so the data flow is something like this source -> Data Conversion -> Lookup -> destination , I am getting an error at my lookup task where it says the "[Lookup [82]] Error: Row yielded no match during lookup". and then it just fails. I know for sure that there has to be matching data. donno what is it that I am missing.
Hi Guys, wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction with this one.
I'm fairly new to SSIS and one data flow transformation i'm trying to get my head around is the pivot transformation. Perhaps if i explain what i want it to do it will make my problem seems clearer.
I have a table which contains a list of people and their demographic and personal details, each with a unique identifier number. When each persons details are entered one of the pieces of data captured is the month they were registered and their ethnic group classification. Within my data flow i want to take this table of registrations and pivot it like you would in Excel e.g. take the whole list, add months as the columns and ethnic categories as the rows and then a count of the unique identifiers as the value, giving you a simple count of all of the customers and what different ethnic groups per month were registered. Simple enough??
Now, i've tried to do this using the pivot and i seem to be getting lost so after reading the chapter from my wrox book i've tried to outline how i think it should be configured to see if it makes anymore sense, i'd appreciate it if anyone could point out where i might be going wrong.......
In my example i'm assuming my input columns will be the unique identifier, the ethnic group and the month?
I'll then select the ethnic group as the row and the month as the pivot and the unique code as the value using the pivotusage properties of 1, 2, 3. still on the right track??
I then create an output column of each month and set the pivotkey value to the month name and the lineageID to the ID of the unique identifer column.
Can anyone spot if i've missed something out here?
I am totally new to SSIS. I need an example of how to use a Lookup transformation. Basd on that i need to lookup for some recs and delete records from transaction table. I have used the Execute SQL task for this and i am able to achive my requirement. But now i am using XML configurations for Connection Managers and for that very reason i dont want to hard code the catalog names(database names) inside my Execute SQL task.
Can any one suggest me how to do the same using a Lookup transformation or any other. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
I have a Dataflow task which loads data from a flat file to a Fact table named Inventory , doing a dimensional Key lookup with DIMStores - which is the dimension table for stores information.
If I have some rows in the flatfile whose 'Store' column doesnt have a corresponsing key in the DIMStores table, I want to insert all these stores in to DIMStores table and then update the Inventory table accordingly ..
I have to extract data from 3 different tables and insert it into another table. I can use a regular union all query or use 3 ole db sources and then use union all transform. What would be the difference here, is there any beneffit on using the transformation? Why would I use the union all transform instead of a regular query with union all statement?
I have a question based on Lookup Transformation component. If using Lookup component, the data cannot be NULL for available columns mapping. How about I want to keep the NULL value like outer join instead of inner join? Is there any way to do since I have several Lookup components inside of my dataflow?
