After working on this with no luck for a couple of days I am sick of pounding my head against a wall! I need help!! I am trying to load 3 flat files into one table and I am not sure how to do it using SSIS. I just need some guidence as to where to go. I can load 1 flat file into the table but 3 is the issue and combining the data so it is loaded in sequential rows. I have had it load, but it has been in three pieces one after the other. I am just not sure where to go and I really need some help! Thank you for any assistance or advice!
SO when i try to load from  Master table to parent and child table i am using using expresssion likeÂ
select B.ID,A.* FROM FLATFILE_INVENTORY AS A JOIN DMS_INVENTORY AS B ONÂ A.ACDealerID=B.DMSDEALERID AND A.StockNumber=B.STOCKNUMBER ANDÂ A.InventoryDate=B.INVENTORYDATE AND A.VehicleVIN=B.VEHICLEVIN WHERE convert(date,A.[FtpDate]) = convert(date,GETDATE()) Â and convert(date,B.Ftpdate) = convert(date,getdate()) ;
If i use this Expression i am getting the current system date data's only  from Master table to parent and child tables.
My Problem is If i do this in my local sserver using the above Expression if i loaded today date and if need to load yesterday date i can change my system date to yesterday date and i can run this Expression.so that yeserday date data alone will get loaded from Master to parent and  child tables.
If i run this expression to remote server  i cannot change the system date in server.
while using this Expression for current date its loads perfectly but when i try to load yesterday data it takes current date date only not the yesterday date data.
What is the Expression on which ever  date i am trying load in  the master table  same date need to loaded in Parent and child table without changing the system Date.
I have a transaction table having about 40 crore rows in source. It don't have timestamp and unique key columns. It have only Bill_month and Bill_Year columns. Actually for loading this table into staging I have added a new datetime column by adding default bill_date as 01. Then
* First we delete last 3 month data from staging tables. * Get last 3 months data from source table. * Load that 3 months data from source to staging table.Â
We do this because we only get update for last three months data. Now I have to include this transaction table as Fact table in DW. What will be the best practice for loading the fact table by picking data form staging table. Also we have to look up with dimensions for Foreign Keys.Â
* Should I implement the same method of deleting last 3 months records and loading them again.Â
How can I load a table into memory in SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 2005 ? How can I keep the table always in memory in SQL Server 2005 ? with all my thanks
I want to load a table from a file. My file has a fixed length(fixed block) and have the same fields of the table. I need the right sintaxis, because The next with errors:
"load from file1 insert into table1"
ANY ADVICE will be greatly apreciatted because I'm not an expert in databases. Thank you veru much.
I thought I had posted this question already, but didn't see it in the list. I apologize if this is a repost.
I am running SQL Server 6.5 SP 4.
I am attempting to load a single table from backup, but continually get the error about schemas not matching. Interestingly, it comes back with a status 4, and not the status 3 indicating a mismatch on Ansi_Padding. The statement I am using is load table demhist from internal_tape with file=5,nounload
I have tried creating the table from scratch and using select * into... I have tried both above with both settings of Ansi Padding. The table I am trying to load contaings char columns which allow nulls. I have experimented with loading 2 other tables. One of the other tables loads and one doesn't. The one which does not load also has char columns which allow nulls, while the one that does load does not have char columns which allow nulls.
Is it a known problem or limitation on the table load that it cannot reload tables that contain char columns which allow nulls?
I am trying to load a table via SSIS from a text file (becdldep), which I have defined in the package as fixed width. The fourth column in my table is defined as decimal (6, 4) and the input is the six digits 246128. I get the following error message:
Error: 0xC020901C at becdldep to Securities, Securities [1006]: There was an error with input column "Column 4" (1313) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (1019). The column status returned was: "Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type.".
When I define the column as float the value is accepted without an error but it is seen as 246128 rather than 24.6128. I could update the column with a divide by 1,000 but is there an easier solution?
Hi does anyone know how to create a sql table and then import a list by just clicking on a button to call a procedure?CREATE TABLE clients(ClientID VARCHAR(5), ClientName VARCHAR(30), PRIMARY KEY (ClientID));LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'C:/client.csv' INTO TABLE clientsLINES TERMINATED BY ' ';
We are trying to load flat text files with upwards of 7 million records into a table on SQL. The table has a clustered index on 3 fields. We setup the indexes prior to importing the data. We are sometimes able to complete smaller tables (500,000-750,000 records), however when we try the larger tables an error occurs :
Error at Destination for row number 6785496. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1
Location: somerge.c:1573 Expression: mrP->mrStatus!=MERGERUN::NONE SPID: 11 Process ID: 173
The destination row number is the same number as the total number of rows that we are trying to load.
None of the recods end up importing. The row number it gives is always the total number of records that was in the text file I was trying to import. I tried to import the text files first and then build the clustered indexes but a table with only 300,000 records ran for nearly 4 days without completing before we killed it. Be for we try to load the file we always delete whatever is there. Some of the files that we try to load are new and we have to set up the indexes from scratch. We are using a DTS wizard. Someone told me to find a way to get it to commit every 1000 or so but I can't find a way to do it. I looked and looked but can't find it !!!
I posted this a while back with no responses...does anyone know of another SQL Server discussion site that I can post this question to? I'm still having problems.
TIA,Mike
----8<-----original post-------------- I'm receiving the following error at one of my production sites and can't determine the problem. I'm restoring one table to tempdb, but the LOAD command isn't finding the table definition/address information in SYSOBJECTS for that table. I've ran a dbcc checktable on sysobjects and it's fine. Any other suggestions? (FYI - there are some errors when running a checkdb, but none on sysobjects - a FIX_AL is scheduled to be run soon.).
load table tempdb..acct_map_condition from disk = 'd:mssqlackupcarman.dump' with source = 'acct_map_condition'
Msg 4039, Level 10, State 1 Warning, file <1> on device 'd:mssqlackupcarman.dump' was dumped from database 'carman'. Msg 8409, Level 16, State 1 Invalid source table 'acct_map_condition' specified in LOAD TABLE. Could not find table in SYSOBJECTS in dump. Table load has been aborted for table 'acct_map_condition'.
Since I have to go across the network, I'm trying to use the UNC. However, this won't even work when I'm using the UNC to point to the server on which this is run. I'm trying to restore a single table on 6.5. What is the obvious piece that I'm missing?
This works.
LOAD TABLE address FROM DISK = 'd:MSSQLackupDBBackup.DAT' WITH source='address'
This doesn't.
LOAD TABLE address FROM DISK = 'server1d$MSSQLackupDBBackup.DAT' WITH source='address'
:) I am trying to update my Dimention table during the load process with Last_Trans_Flag set to 'A' -active or 'I' -inactive. The Last_Trans_Flag for the new record being inserted is set to 'A' and the previous records for the customer are set to 'I'.
During the initial load of the SCD, the first occurrence of each customer will be set an 'I' flag and the most recent customer with max(effective_date) will be set to 'A' .
I have a table having XML column. I want to read a XML document and insert content of the XML file into this xml column. CREATE TABLE [XMLTest]( [DataAsXML] [xml] NULL,
[CreatedDate] [datetime] NULL )
I have tried the following query declare @filepath varchar(100)
declare @filename varchar(100)
set @filename = 'Referred'
set @filepath = 'D:ReportOutput'+ @FileName +'.xml'
print @filepath
insert into XMLTest
SELECT xCol,getdate()
FROM (SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET
(BULK @filepath,SINGLE_BLOB) AS xCol) AS R(xCol)
Problem is that When I give complete file path for BULK instead of variable name i.e. BULK 'C:Test.xml', query runs fine. But when I try to use @filepath, I get error "Incorrect syntax near '@filepath'." What am I doing incorrect? Also,If some one can suggest a better approach to load content of XML document to table?
I have a file which has * as the field delimiter and ~ as the record delimiter, but I don't know how much columns each row will have. Only known is the maximum which can be 15.
The file looks something like: A1*A2*A3*~B1*B2~C1*C2*C3*C4*C5~
SO I have created a table with 15 columns(since 15 can be the max) but now when I try to insert it to that table, I inserts only the entire file into 1 single column.
The command which I am using is: BULK INSERT tablename FROM filename WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = '*' , ROWTERMINATOR = '~')
but this is not giving the correct output.
The output expected is A1 A2 A3 B1 B2 C1 C2 C3 C4 C5
I m designing a table which will hold about 40 million records. The data which is going to be inserted into the table is a alphanumeric unique code eg: (CABBXFGRET). Similarly there will be 40M codes, all are indexed starting with character 'C', with the second alphabet used as an index for about 5 million codes each.
Is it advisable to have 1 table and load all the records in it or is it more sensible to split the codes in to various tables based on index.
Eg: All codes starting with 'CA.....' till 'CC.....' in one table. etc.
So that the search logic can be designed based on the index of the code.
Logically considering this is helping us reduce the latency in search due to the heavy volume. But i m concerned that this doesnt follow the rules of normalization.
Any suggestions from the DB gurus out there is very much appeciated.
I have an application (ASP.NET 2.0/SQL Server 2005) which makes heavy use of table adapters for pulling records from SQL. Under heavy load, we get a lot of SQL Server Timeout errors. We have run a trace on SQL Server and it shows that several of the SQL statements being passed into SQL Server, from the Table Adapters, have bad SQL.
For example, here is the SQL in one of the table adapters
SELECT HomeMsgID, messageName, messageHTML, messageText, populationID FROM MyUCR_HomeMessages WHERE (populationID IN (SELECT populationID FROM MyUCR_Population_CPID AS MyUCR_Population_CPID_1 WHERE (CPID = @CPID))) AND (isVisible = 1) AND (showDate <= @showDate) AND (removeDate >= @removeDate)
myUCR_HomePageMsgsTableAdapters.MyUCR_HomeMessagesTableAdapter ta = new myUCR_HomePageMsgsTableAdapters.MyUCR_HomeMessagesTableAdapter(); myUCR_HomePageMsgs.MyUCR_HomeMessagesDataTable dt = new myUCR_HomePageMsgs.MyUCR_HomeMessagesDataTable();
ta.FillByCPID(dt, showDate, removeDate, CPID);
What the SQL trace shows, when it fails, is this (notice the extra single quotes around the showDate, removeDate parameters): E000 exec sp_executesql N'SELECT HomeMsgID, messageName, messageHTML, messageText, populationID FROM MyUCR_HomeMessages WHERE (populationID IN (SELECT populationID FROM MyUCR_Population_CPID AS MyUCR_Population_CPID_1 WHERE (CPID = @CPID))) AND (isVisible = 1) AND (showDate <= @showDate) AND (removeDate >= @removeDate)',N'@showDate datetime,@removeDate datetime,@CPID int',@showDate=''2007-02-05 00:00:00:000'',@removeDate=''2007-02-05 00:00:00:000'',@CPID=3071225 1[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near '2007'.
I recreated the SQL to use a stored procedure, and got a similar error:
I loaded a vchar column using script trans (SSIS doesn't support XML data types :/) to format the XML data properly. Since the XML data in the vchar column was not encoded, when I try to alter the vchar column to xml after the table is loaded it fails. I assume this is because the parser is having trouble with the content of the data within the xml tags.
This is how I coded the XML rather than using a xml method. "true" places the element end tag.
My question is, can I either load the data, using T-SQL, into an XML data type from a vchar column or is there a way to alter the type from vchar to xml without encountering the following parsing error?
Msg 9421, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
XML parsing: line 1, character 64, illegal name character
Here I will describe my problem. 1. We are loading large amount of data from database on background thread which is starting on Application_start event in global.aspx.cs file.The data is later cached for subsquent request to improve the performance. 2. Now when we put the application on web farm garden, it is not able to load the application. 3. We are sending the request the servers through Router kind of application. 4 This application is working fine on single server enviornment.
I am trying to load a SQL 2005 table that consists of two guid values in two fields. I have a flat file in tab delimited form that has guid values as strings to load into the table. I used a flat file source module in SSIS; which then goes to a Data Conversion module that takes the flat file and does a conversion to type unique indentifier [DT_GUID]; this goes to a OLE DB destination which is a SQL 2005 table that has no records and only those two fields. I get this following primary error:
[Data Conversion [498]] Error: Data conversion failed while converting column "Column 0" (373) to column "Copy of Column 0" (511). The conversion returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.". An example of the two values in the .txt flat file source: 84d92cbb-4b4b-435b-8d8a-789ea930283c 328340cd-85fd-4210-8d82-000024093d7c Any ideas what may be causing this? This should be pretty straight forward load. But it is guid which seems to always cause cast issues.
Does anyone have an example of performing a source to destination data load with another SQL Select Statement controlling source statement? What I would like to do is split up a huge data move by performing a loop on the source and modifying the source select "where" clause using values from a control table. I understand how to modify the source statement by using an expression statement with variables. Now I'm trying to figure out how to loop through a control table to drive the source task.
I just have done the SSIS example in the tutorial document included when install SQL 2005 ENT. I have a problem that whenever I test to run, the service load all data from source with out noticing about the data (I mean it load all the data to the destination), I do it several time and it continue to load all without checking. That mean the data is dublicated when the schedule run???
I think there should be a paramete or something like that to help the engine just load the new data to the destination. Could you help please?
Hi All,I have an asp.net 2.0 app that needs to bulk load data from an xml file into a Sql Server (Express) table. Is there an easy way to do this?Thanks,Claude.
I have a stored procedure in that attempts to perform a WHERE NOT EXISTS check to insert new records. If the table is empty, the procedure will load the table. However, an insert does not occur when a change to one or more source fields occurs against an existing record. The following is my code:
I expected that when one of the source values of any field in the second WHERE clause changes, that the procedure would insert a new record. Why is this not happening? One other note: I am not 'allowed' to use MERGE.
I need help from you data warehouse / SSIS experts out there! I have a Transaction Fact Table with dollar amounts as the measurements. The grain is one row per transaction. I want to roll this up into a Monthly Periodic Snapshot based on 5 keys. I am having no problem where there is transaction data for each month.
However, the problem I am having is - how do I gracefully insert the Monthly rows for the five keys where there was no activity in the transaction fact table - I am sure there is a slick way to do this with SSIS but I am definitely having a mental block on how to accomplish this. Any help would be appreciated!
