Text Data To XML To String Via Script Transformation
Oct 4, 2007
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???
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
J Dubo

I have a parameter value as shown below and this is dynamic and can grow
Example : 101-NY, 102-CA, 165-GA
116-NY, 258-NJ, 254-PA, 245-DC, 298-AL
How do I get the values in the below format
NY,CA,GA --- each state to be followed with comma and the next state
NY,NJ,PA,DC,AL --- each state to be followed with comma and the next state
correct query that will fetch only state names and not the numbers.

I was wondering if someone could tell me how to use an SQL Function to remove everything from the mess of characters below except 'Test.' Really, any message could be substituted, so it's not as easy to leave everything except the 'Test.' string.
{
tf1ansiansicpg1252deff0deflang1033{fonttbl{f0fnilfcharset0 MS Shell Dlg 2;}{f1fnil MS Shell Dlg 2;}}
{colortbl ;
ed0green0lue0;}
{*generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1507;}viewkind4uc1pard x720cf1f0fs20 Test.f1par
}
It's RichText.
The fs20 could be fs24, fs25, etc. (any numbers). The end of the number would be the point to trim the beginning off.
The '' seems like it would be the point to start trimming the end off.
I've been experimenting with SUBSTRING together with CHARINDEX, but am just not getting even close to coming up with a solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you.

I'm trying to parse out a line of data that is separated by the text "atc1.", "atc2." etc.
For example,
[atc1.123/atc2.456/atc3.789/atc4.xyz/]
If I only want the data after atc2., then I could search the string for "atc2." and collect all the characters afterwards. But how can I make sure to trim off all the data after "atc3." to make sure I'm only collecting "456" from the example above?

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.
Can someone suggest me how to do this one...?
thanks
Ravi
Nothing much that i can do..!!

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.
This appears to be a bug to me.

I have a text field which has entries of variable length of the form:
"house:app.apx&resultid=1234,clientip"
or
"tost:app.apx&resultid=123,clientip"
or
"airplane:app.apx&resultid=123489,clientip"
I'm trying to pick out the numbers between resultid='...',clientip no matter what the rest of the string looks like. So in this example it would be the numbers:
1234
123
12389
the part of the string of the form resultid='...',clientip always stays the same except the length of the number can vary.

My vendor requires data to be sent in Excel format. Some of my tables have rows over 65,536 so I need to use Excel 2007 (Max of 1,048,576). Right now my data sits in SQL 2000. I am using MS SQL Enterprise Manager 8.0 to prepare the data. Is there some kind of add on or selection I am missing to use DTS to export from SQL to Excel 2007?Thanks in advance.

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.
Any help in this will sincerely be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
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?
Thanks in advance,
Lawrie.

tell me the difference between Audit transformation and rowcount transformation.
Because audit and rowcount transformation will provide the environment variables.
Only difference i am finding is rowcount returns the count of rows its updating .
Apart from these is there any other difference?
Tell me the scenario where i need to use the audit transformation.

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?
Thank you,
Anastasia.

Hi, newbie here with a simple?(maybe)question.
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.

HiI was told that using DTS will allow me to schedule stored procedures to keep an sql database up to date. For example if a user registers but does not activate the registration, his details will be removed by a stored procedure which is scheduled to run every 24 hours. I use to use the global.asax file to fire a update by using a file containing a the date of the last update and then by adding 24 hours to it, it would execute a SP to delete unwanted data.I have tried to install DTS with no success. I am running the followingVisual web studio expressSQL 2005 Express. (From SQLExpr_exe) and I have told it to install all the extra componentsInstalled SQLEXPR_Toolkit.exe with all its optionsInstalled SQLServer2005_DTS.MSI When I go into the sql server using MS SQL Server Management Studio Express. I cannot see the Data transformation services node. I have also just installed server reports which I had no problems installing.Can somebody please help me.

I have begun using SSIS and I am a little taken aback by the complexity of it especially since I just want to do a simple data transformation such as in DTS.
Are there any tutorials for data transformation for SSIS on the web/this forum and what if I want to do a simple transformation from Access to SQL Server?

I have a lookup transformation that retrieves a key for a certain column of values, in this case, a name. So, I go in to the lookup table with a name and come out with its key. I had it working and then I added new entries to the lookup table for a bunch of new names. Now, for some reason, I am not getting the matches for the new names. But I am still getting the matches for the names that existed before I added the new ones.
I'm wondering if the lookup transformation is using the old set of data and some how not picking up the new names. Do I have to trigger something in the lookup transformation to let it know that the lookup table data has changed?

I have a student table that needs some clean up. My first task is to remove all the periods (.) from the middle name column. Some people have two char middle initials with two periods. Can this be done via a SSIS package (I sure it can, but not how)? I can't think of a simple update statement that would accomplish the same thing.
Any direction would be appreciated.

I am creating a DTS package for an import of data from MSAccess97 to SQLServer2000. I am quite new to the DTS so bear with me please.
Everything was fairly simple until I got stumped by the following problem:
In the source database there was a table with multiple fields (let's say A, B, C) for each record containing their values (let's say 1,2,3).
Now, in the destination database the table is built differently. It is a table containing the field data and definition.
So basically I need to turn this
ID A B C
0 1 2 3
1 4 5 6
into this
ID FieldName FieldVal
0 A 1
0 B 2
0 C 3
1 A 4
1 B 5
1 C 6
I am not sure how to go about that... any thoughts? :confused:

Hi,
I am having a simple difficulty regarding my transformation component that I have created.
I followed all of the relevant documentation to create the component, UI and such, and when I run a program that transfers data through my component (without it doing anything to the data) to a flat file source, all I get in the flat file is ,,,,,,,,,,
Meaning that the data is not actually being passed through my component to the destination, but it does recongize the correct number of columns. I get this warning for each column: [DTS.Pipeline] Warning: The output column "PurchaseOrderDetailID" (20) on output "OLE DB Source Output" (11) and component "Source - PurchaseOrderDetail" (1) is not subsequently used in the Data Flow task. Removing this unused output column can increase Data Flow task performance.
To fix this issue, all I need to do is "check" the boxes in the advanced editor for my component. However, I want to be able have these boxes "checked" automatically.
My question is, when you "check" a box next to a column name in the advanced editor, what does that exactly do that allows you to transfer the data? What do I need to program in order for it to replicate that? I actually want it to happen automatically, so by default, all data in all columns are transfered through my component out the other side, so I just need to know how to do this by code, and not how to replicate the UI.
My component, I thought, did that automatically, as I specified everything that I thought was required based on all of the documentation I read. Obviously, I am missing something. Here are the methods that I believe would all be involved.
Please let me know what I am missing.
int[] inputColumnBufferIndexes; // ...
int[] outputColumnBufferIndexes; // ... used in PreExecute
PipelineBuffer outputBuffer; // used in ProcesInput
public override void OnInputPathAttached(int inputID)
{
IDTSInput90 input = ComponentMetaData.InputCollection.GetObjectByID(inputID);
IDTSOutput90 output = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection[0];
IDTSVirtualInput90 vInput = input.GetVirtualInput();
foreach (IDTSVirtualInputColumn90 vCol in vInput.VirtualInputColumnCollection)
{
IDTSOutputColumn90 outCol = output.OutputColumnCollection.New();
outCol.Name = vCol.Name;
outCol.SetDataTypeProperties(vCol.DataType, vCol.Length, vCol.Precision, vCol.Scale, vCol.CodePage);
}
}
public override void PreExecute()
{
//base.PreExecute();
IDTSInput90 input = ComponentMetaData.InputCollection[0];
IDTSOutput90 output = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection[0];
inputColumnBufferIndexes = new int[input.InputColumnCollection.Count];
outputColumnBufferIndexes = new int[output.OutputColumnCollection.Count];
for (int x = 0; x < input.InputColumnCollection.Count; x++)
{
IDTSInputColumn90 column = input.InputColumnCollection[x];
inputColumnBufferIndexes[x] = BufferManager.FindColumnByLineageID(input.Buffer, column.LineageID);
}
for (int x = 0; x < output.OutputColumnCollection.Count; x++)
{
IDTSOutputColumn90 column = output.OutputColumnCollection[x];
outputColumnBufferIndexes[x] = BufferManager.FindColumnByLineageID(output.Buffer, column.LineageID);
}
}
public override void PrimeOutput(int outputs, int[] outputIDs, PipelineBuffer[] buffers)
{
//base.PrimeOutput(outputs, outputIDs, buffers);
if (buffers.Length != 0)
{
outputBuffer = buffers[0];
}
}
public override void ProcessInput(int inputID, PipelineBuffer buffer)
{
//base.ProcessInput(inputID, buffer);
if (!buffer.EndOfRowset)
{
IDTSInput90 input = ComponentMetaData.InputCollection.GetObjectByID(inputID);
while (buffer.NextRow())
{
// TODO: Examine the columns in the current row.
// Add a row to the output buffer.
outputBuffer.AddRow();
for (int x = 0; x < inputColumnBufferIndexes.Length; x++)
{
// Copy the data from the input buffer column to the output buffer column.
outputBuffer[outputColumnBufferIndexes[x]] = buffer[inputColumnBufferIndexes[x]];
}
}
}
else
{
// EndOfRowset on the input buffer is true.
// Set EndOfRowset on the output buffer.

If I understand correctly, SSIS is kinda the "new DTS." And to use it, if I get the gist, I am supposed to open "SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio," select a new project, highlight the "Business Intelligence Projects" heading, and then select the "Data Transformation Project" template. But there is just one problem.
That template is missing. It isn't there.
What am I doing wrong?

I have a very complex (for me, anyway) data transformation problem.
I've been given a flat-file of physician data from another system which must be automated for entry into the SQL server on a regular basis.
This was no problem until we discovered that several fields (all of which we wanted to use) had multiple pieces of information in them, separated by semicolons.
Well, this didn't seem to be too big of a problem, so I wrote a DTS activeX script to handle it. This is what I originally wrote:
'*******************
Function Transform()
'Declare variables
Dim strOffice
Dim strOfficeNew
Dim cChar
Dim x
Dim y
Dim z
'Scrub values into new rows
strOffice = DTSSource("Col050")
x = 1
y = len(strOffice)
z = 1
While x <= y
cChar = Mid(strOffice, x 1)
If cChar <> ";" Then
strOfficeNew = strOfficeNew & cChar
Else
DTSDestination("Phys_No") = DTSSource("Col001") DTSDestination("Addr_No") = z
DTSDestination("Addr_Office") = strOfficeNew
strOfficeNew = ""
z = z + 1
End If
x = x + 1
Wend
'Insert final record after last semicolon
If strOffice <> "" Then
DTSDestination("Phys_No") = DTSSource("Col001") DTSDestination("Addr_No") = z
DTSDestination("Addr_Office") = strOfficeNew
End If
Transform = DTSTransformStat_OK
End Function
'*********************
This, of course, didn't work. WHat I got was the last part of the parsed data, which for the first record, was the second Address in the field.
I searched around, and found the following script that is supposed to allow multiple rows off of a single row, but I can't seem to merge the two and still get the data out clean.
'**********
Dim nCounter
nCounter = 4
Function Main()
if nCounter > 0 then
Main = DTSTransformStat_SkipFetch
DTSDestination("PatientNumber") = DTSSource("PatientNumber") Select Case nCounter
Case 1
DTSDestination("PhysicianType") = "Admitting" DTSDestination("PhysicianId") = DTSSource
("AdmittingPhysician")
Case 2
DTSDestination("PhysicianType") = "Attending" DTSDestination("PhysicianId") = DTSSource
("AttendingPhysician")
Case 3
DTSDestination("PhysicianType") = "Referring" DTSDestination("PhysicianId") = DTSSource
("ReferringPhysician")
Case 4
DTSDestination("PhysicianType") = "Consulting" DTSDestination("PhysicianId") = DTSSource
("ConsultingPhysician")
End Select
nCounter = nCounter - 1
else
nCounter = 4
Main = DTSTransformStat_SkipInsert
end if
End Function
'**************
I'm not a VB Script expert, so there's probably something very simple that I'm missing here... if someone could point it out, I'd be greatly appreciative.

Is there a way, for example to script a DTS Package, so that it can be deleted and recreated at a later date if necessary? I have quiet alot of these, but few are used regularly. The msdb database is now up to 80 MB. However I don't want to delete them and have no way to recreate them.If I took a backup of msdb and then deleted the packages, would restoring msdb at a later date restore the packages?????
