Truncation Of String Data With Data Reader Source Connecting To ODBC DSN
Mar 18, 2007
A data reader is using a connection manager to connect to an ODBC System DSN . A query in the SqlCommand property is provided. Data is being truncated in the only string column . The data type in data reader output-->external columns shows as Unicode string [DT_WSTR] Length 7.
The truncated output in a text file is the first 3 characters from left to right . Changing the column order has no effect.
A linked server was created in SQL Server Management Studio to test the ODBC System DSN using the following:
Data returned using "OPENQUERY" does not truncate the string column indicating that the ODBC Driver returns data as expected with sql 2005, but not with the Data Reader.
How do I get columns to output when I have a data reader source? My connection is an ODBC and does complex sql. I am connection to a Netezza database and I would like to execute a very complex query, but in essence does
Create newtable as
(select day, sessionId)
from source
// lots of other joins and unions
select day, sessionId from newtable
drop newtable
I have an ODBC connection and I have a Datareader source, I cannot connect this source to my SQL Server destination because no output columns are available. What am I missing here?
Are there any good examples of this, taking data from a ODBC source into SQL server?
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: "component "Excel Source" (1)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA".
and also this:
[Excel Source [1]] Warning: The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns. The column "Fiscal Week" needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection. The column "Fiscal Year" needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection. The column "1st level" needs to be added to the external metadata column collection. The column "2nd level" needs to be added to the external metadata column collection. The column "3rd level" needs to be added to the external metadata column collection. The "external metadata column "1st Level" (16745)" needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection. The "external metadata column "3rd Level" (16609)" needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection. The "external metadata column "2nd Level" (16272)" needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection.
I tried going data flow->excel connection->advanced editor for excel source-> input and output properties and tried to refresh the columns affected. It seems that somehow the 3 columns are not read in from the source file? ans alslo fiscal year, fiscal week is not set up up properly in my data destination? anyone faced such errors before?
I am having a very wierd issue regarding a DB2 sql query. I need to get data from Db2 and insert into our sql server database. Using data flow task, to get data I am using the data reader source. COnnection is ado.netodbc connection. THis sql query also has some comments in it.
The first wierd thing is...
1. On Development server, when I run this query manually, meaning using toad, winsql (connection to the db2 database), the query runs fine. Brings back approx 667 rows which is correct. ON the same server when I try to run this query, via a SSIS pkg, data flow task, using data reader source, gives me error on those comments that exist in that query. But if I run the same SSIS pkg on another server (Integration server). It runs fine. The same pkg also runs fine if I run it from my machine. SO What is different on my Dev server compared to the Integration server.
2. Say if I take those comments out from the sql query, then try to run the ssis pkg. The query is stuck at the first record and goes in an infinite loop mode. though my query is not a procedure, it is just a sql statement. But this ssis pkg with the query runs absolutly fine on the other server. I aslo tried using the other types of connection and ole db source but still the same problem on the Dev server.
What do I need to look for that is so different on the dev server compare to the INT server. I also checked the version on both these server for Visual Studio 2005(by going to About Microsoft Visual Studio), it is the same.
This is what I have on both the servers.... Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Designer Version 9.00.3042.00
i have a package in ssis that needs to deliver data from outside servers with odbc connection. i have desined the package with dataflow object that includes inside a datareader source. the data reader source connect via ado.net odbc connection to the ouside servers and makes a query like: select * from x where y=? and then i pass the data to my sql server. my question is like the following:
how do i config the datasource reader or the dataflow so it will recognize an input value to my above query? i.e for example:
select * from x where y=5 (5 is a global variable that i have inside the package). i did not see anywhere where can i do it.
I am using a Ado Connection Manager to connect to a M S Access source.
But when I use this connection Manager in Data Reader Source, I am Not able to Configure Data reader Source. It gives exception "Cannot Acquire Managed Connection From Run Time Connection Manager".
In several weeks of effort and research I cannot locate any method to get this to work and need some help. We've loaded the most recent version of the Microsoft OLE DB (Feb 2007) and have located several discussion threads on these and other forums that all point to the same conclusion... you cannot use this to talk to a UDB/DB2 instance on Sun Solaris unless you are pulling a full table. Any custom SQL will not work. So, I'm trying to setup a custom query which in most cases is to determine a date to use in the filter (where clause) and the rest of the query is static. The DataReader source does not support parameters and also appears to not support SQL command from variable. Any thoughts on how to get this to work without having to read the full table and pass the data to subsequent filters within the package???
I have set up a new connection as a connection from data source, but I cannot see how to use this connection to create my Data Flow Source. I have tried using an OLE DB connection, but this is painfully slow! The process of loading 10,000 rows takes 14 - 15 minutes. The same process in Access using SQL on a linked table via DSN takes 45 seconds.
Have I missed something in my set up of the OLE DB source / connection? Will a DSN source be faster?
I am running a sql task which will pass table as object variable to the result set
I have a for each loop container which is used to loop for all the servers. I use two of the parameters to establish connection string in the for each loop task from the reasult set variables.
Now my next step is a data flow task (Data Reader Source) where i have to run a query but the table name and column names are dynamic and i dont see an option to call variables.
can someone tell me if this is possible (var1,var2,... are variables in the package scope)
I am a business user trying to build an incremental ETL package with SSIS. I have a working prototype on SQL Server 2005 where I select the max(ID) from the last successful run and pass that value into a variable. Then, in my Data Flow step, I select an OLE DB source adapter and use this variable in a custom select statement.
Here's my challenge....the live data is actually in a Postgres DB so I have to use a Data Reader Source adapter. When I try to pass my variable to this adapter the job bombs out. Does anyone know how to dynamically update the query text inside a Data Reader source adapter using variables or otherwise?
Hi, in SSIS I read data from a DB2 database on AS400 using the Client Access ODBC Driver for DB2 from IBM and write it to a SQL Server database. Since it does not work using the odbc driver as data source directly, I use a data reader component with .net providersodbc. Some special characters were not translated correctly when read from DB2. They show up as ? in the SQL Server target table.
I tried to change the client locale in the ODBC connection properties but it did not help me. I tried changing all other settings in odbc but it still does not work.
In dts I could source all the data without this problems and good speed using the same nodbc driver.
The OLEDB Providers delivered with SSIS do not work in SSIS or I am too stupid to configure them correctly. They are even too slow as I explained above.
I cannot use the MS OLEDB Provider for DB2, because it works only in Enterprize Edition and we only have the Standard Edition.
Thus, only using Client Access ODBC Driver for DB2 with net providersodbc (as bridge) is performant enough and works on Itanium. But how to work around the problem with the special characters?
In SSIS in Sql task we have option to pass parameter or variable..But in Data Flow Task when we use Data Reader Source using ADO.NET connection..There is no option to pass parameter or variable Or no option to receive a parameter or variable .
I am having a query were it need to pass a parameter.in sql task ...And Data Reader Source have to receive this parameter from sql task .
Sql Task finds a value of parameter and pass to DataReader Source in DataFlow Task .. ...
Please can any one help me to solve this problem of Receiving parameter or variable in DataReader Source using DAO.Net connection in DataFlow Task..thank you dilsa
Please can anyone tell me if or how I have to cross reference to a user defined variable from a script task in the SQL of a Data Reader Source?
The script task creates a variable for the last Sales Ledger Session. The SQL in the data reader source that updates the DW sales invoice lines file based upon those invoice lines where the session number is greater than the value from the script task.
The SQL command in the custom properties doesn't cross reference back to the variable.
If anyone can help or needs further detail to help please post a resonse.
Okay, this should be really simple but I don't get it. How do I use an ODBC data source in an SSIS data flow task? When I look at Data Flow Sources I see the following options:
Pointer
DataReader Source
Excel Source
Flat File Source
OLE DB Source
Raw File Source
XML Source
Which one do I use if I need to get the data from a connection manager that is ODBC based? The IBM OLEDB driver for the AS400 doesn't work correctly so I HAVE to use an ODBC driver to connect to an AS400 data source.
I am new to SQL Server. I have some basic questions.
I have installed SQL Server Developer Edition on a Windows XP Media center edition. The installation is successful. Now I am trying to create an ODBC, but I there are some options which I am not quite sure about.
e.g.
1. How SQL Server verify the authenticity of the login ID? A. Windows NT.... B. SQL Server....
Client Configuration: Server alias: ??? Named Pipes: What should be the values of [pipe name]?
or should i choose other options?....
And I when I use Query Analyzer to connect to Server, the authentication fails..
Can some one point me to the right direction, or if there's some documentation on this subject, that would be very much appreciated.
I'm trying to import tables from COBOL thru Relativity client. With SQL Server 2000, I used Other (ODBC Data Source) to do this. I cannot find a comparible data source in SQL Server 2005. What do I do?
I am new to SSIS packages and want to use an ODBC data source connected to an old Btrieve set of data files. I set up the ODBC DSN, and my SQL Server Data Connection, and can browse the tables in the Server Explorer. However with regards to my SSIS package, I'm not sure whether to use an OLE DB Source or Data Reader Source. I have futzed with both of them but haven't had any luck at seeing the tables. Can someone please give me some tips.
I'm trying to create an ODBC Data Source on both an NT 4.0 server and 2000 Professional workstation that are remote. I can not seem to get them to connect. What do I put in the server name field when creating the network library connection? I have tried both the ip address and fully qualified domain name of the sql server and neither worked.
As other contributors, all I am trying to do is import data from an ODBC source (spelled 'non-Microsoft data source') into a SQL 2005 table. I can easily do this in SQL 2000 with DTS, but when I use the same DSN in VS 2005 it doesn't work.
I created an integration project, and made a connection in Connection Manager to the DSN and clicked Test Connection. It succeeded, or so it claimed.
Click OK and drag a DataReader Source onto the Data Flow surface Doubleclick it and select the connection manager per above. Note the error: Error at Data Flow Task [DataReader Source[50]]: Cannot acquire a managed connection from the run-time connection manager.
What does that mean? More to the point, how to fix it?
My replication of those SQL 2000 servers gave errors: Data source (11): General Network Error. Check your network documentation... and ODBC (08S01): Communication link failure. The replication was across the WAN. I don't know where to start to troubleshoot this problem. Please help!
I have a data file that has numeric data that looks like:
1.123456
And this column is defined as a DT_NUMERIC(18.6) in the flat file conn mgr.
As an experiment, I changed the destination column to a NUMERIC(18,0) - hoping that this would throw a truncation error at the flat file task level (where I have Truncation on all columns set to "fail component").
Not a peep. It loaded the data into the table, chopping off the 6 digits after the decimal point.
You would THINK that this would cause an error, but no. Why is this? The flat file task complains about all kinds of things, but this is such a gross error, you would think it would catch it!
I'm trying to connect to the sample database (rs2005sbsDW) that I installed from a CD that came with the book SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. When I try to connect to this database in the report wizard following instructions on page 41, it tells me my database doesn't exist. The following path was entered into the New Project dialog box which does exist. C:Documents and SettingsBrett SomersMy DocumentsMicrosoft PressRS2005SBSworkspace. The book guides me to enter Localhost as the server name. The rs2005sbsDW database does not appear in the "select or enter a database name" dropdown field.
I am running Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, and I am having difficulties setting up an ODBC User Data Source to connect to the SQL server. I have tried going through "Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources (ODBC)" to add a user data source. For the SQL Server to connect to, I have tried specifying "localhostSQLEXPRESS", "SQLEXPRESS", "(local)", etc. -- but nothing seems to work. When the DSN configuration wizard tries to connect to the SQL Server to obtain default settings, it fails with the error "SQL Server does not exist or access denied". (Same error occurs if I try connecting to this ODBC data source later.) But I know that the SQL Server exists and I have been using it through the SQL Server data provider in another application. I am new to this, so any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kumar
I have been using ODBC data source administrator for years without any problem. However, after a unsuccesful MSSQL7.0 installation, i keep getting the following message:
"An error occurred while windows was working with the control panel file
D:WINNTSystem32Odbccp32.cpl"
Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.
We have more than 10 databases on the same server. When I try to set up ODBC connection through my desktop to a specific database (DB1) using SQL authentication, it acts weird:
-- I give the login (testkz) access to DB1, DB1 does not show up in the default database list; I tried to type in the database name, it is not taken
-- If I give 'testkz' access to two other databases (and only these two), even though I did not give access to DB1, DB1 together with some other databases show up on the default database list. Seems to me that there are some dependency among the dbs.
