Trying To Use SSIS Variables Within SQL Queries Associated With Lookup
Nov 30, 2007
I'm trying to understand how to use SSIS variables within SQL commands and which Data Flow toolbox objects I can use for this. My simple package has a OLE DB Source object that returns the rows in a table. For the next operation, the output from the OLE DB Source is input into a Lookup data flow transformation where there is a select query that returns another value from a different table...
select bla from myTable where dbname = db_name()
The output is then passed on to an OLE DB Destination.
The above lookup query only works because, it so happens, that I could get a unique and correct result back filtered by current database name. However, due to other required changes, I now have introduce more 'where clauses'. I have all the necessary clause information in SSIS variables (iterated via a For Each loop). I would like do something like...
select bla from myTable where dbname = ? and bla_type = ?
However, there isn't a facility for Parameters in the Lookup object's 'use results of a SQL query'. I can see that I can use parameters in the OLE DB Source object by changing the 'data access mode' to SQL Query. However, it doesn't seem valid to join two OLE DB Source objects together in the data flow? I can't see any other suitable objects in the Data Flow toolbox. Ideally, I would be able to use Parameters in the Lookup object or some other object that would do the same job.
Thanks,
Clive

Hi,
I want to pass below given query into a variable
"if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[ <POS_MONTH>]]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
DROP TABLE [dbo].[ <POS_DATE>]
GO
SELECT * INTO [dbo].[<POS_DATE>] ]
FROM SG_POS_Template
WHERE 1 = 0;
GO"
Where [<POS_DATE>] is a parameter by which value will be assigned dymanically.....anybody please help me out....!!

I have a question. I'm using a lookup table which contains descriptions for a field from one of my tables. I have added a lookup query that looks like this:
SELECT STORE_DESRIP, BANNER, STORE_ID
FROM `stores.txt`
WHERE (STORE_ID = ?)
My main table (stagging) contains the store_id field. What I want to do is populate my destination fields (Store_descriptin and Banner) from the lookup table, based on the Store_id. I have written an ActiveX script that looks like this:
Function Main()
DTSDestination("Store_id") = DTSSource("store_id")
DTSDestination("Store_description") = DTSLookup("storelookup").Execute(DTSSource("store_ id")).value
Main = DTSTransformStat_OK
End Function
I receive an error when I try to test this script. It complains about line 8, which is the line that contains the DTSLookup function. Does anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
The process I see here is that when it comes to populating the "Store_description" field is will look the lookup table and based on the store_id, pass the description back. I would also like to add another destination field into this script, but won't until I resolve this.
Thanks for yoour support.

Hi,
I am using Fuzzy Lookup in my transformation. I wanted to know if there is a way to use variables for the MinSimilarity property in the Advanced Editor tab. Instead of giving a hardcoded value between 0 to 1, I want to take the value from a variable and use it. Is this possible in SSIS.
Thanks,
Akalya

The logic I am trying to recreate via SSIS is the following SQL statement:
insert into db3.dbo.targettable1 -- Target database table
(SiteC,
Objecte,
Attrib1)
select distinct ?,
?,
from ? -- Source database table
join dbo.targettable2 c1 -- Target database table
on c1.Alias = ? and
c1.CSetID = ? and
c1.FacID = (select f.PFacID
from dbo.Fac f
where f.FacID = ?)
where not exists (select * from dbo.targettable2 c -- Target database table
where c.Alias = ? and
c.FacID = ? and
c.CSetID = ?)
I have an OLE DB Source that consists of an expression to approximate the following portion of the Above Select statement:
Select ?,
from ? -- Source database table and
The package has 2 global variables User:CSetID and User::FacID whose scope is global to the package and whose values are set within a Foreach Loop Container outside of the Data Flow Task
I was trying to reference the 2 global variables within the Looup Transformation to recreate the following portion of the SQL statement.but encounter errors:
join dbo.targettable2 c1 -- Target database table
on c1.Alias = ? and
c1.CSetID = ? and
c1.FacID = (select f.PFacID
from dbo.Fac f
where f.FacID = ?)
In the Advanced Editor window of Lookup Transaction
select * from
(select * from [dbo].[targettable2 ]) as refTable
where [refTable].[Alias] = ? and [refTable].[FacID] = ? and
[refTable].[CSetID] = ?
Is there away to reference global variables in a Lookup Transformation that are set outside a Data Task Flow?

Hi,
I'm writing an Access pass-through query against a SQL server backend and I need some advice on passing parameters. Currently I use vba to substitute the literal values for the parameters prior to passing the query to SQL Server. However, I am going through a loop thousands of times with different literals for these parameters which causes the server's cache to fill up. In Oracle, there is a way to use bind variables for the parameters so that only one copy of the query is cached.
Does anyone know how I can do this in SQL Server?
For instance, I have 20,000 employees and I'm pulling info by SS#:
Select * from EmpTable where SS_number = [SSN]
Is there a way I can pass this query to SQL Server and then pass the value of [SSN] as I loop through the dataset?
Thanks.

I have a test page where I'm using SqlConnection and SqlCommand to update a simple database table (decrease a number).
I'm trying to figure out how to make a number in the database table to decrease by 1 each time a button is being pressed. I know how to update the number by whatever I want to, but I have no idea what the correct syntax is for putting variables inside the query etc. Like "count -1" for instance.
The database table is called "friday" and the one and only column is called "Tickets".
Here's the code behind the button:protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{SqlConnection conn;
conn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=***;Initial Catalog=***;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=***;Password=***");
conn.Open();int count = -1;
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select Tickets from friday", conn);
count = (int)cmd.ExecuteScalar();if (count > 0)
{
string updateString = @"
update friday
set Tickets = 500" ; <------ Here I want to set Tickets like "current count -1"SqlCommand cmd2 = new SqlCommand(updateString);
cmd2.Connection = conn;
cmd2.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
else
{
}
conn.Close();
}

I have the following query:
SELECT EMPID,EMPNAME from EMPLOYEE
where EMPID = (SELECT MAX(EMPID) from EMPLOYEE group by EMPNAME,insert_date)
Here one can use above query in Dataflow of SSIS and specify SQL to create temporary table and later can use as lookup to join to other table.
Is there any way in SSIS to directly do the MAX of EMPID in lookup and join to the main source table.
Any help is really appreciated.

I designed an SSIS package about 200 packages in one project.
the package extract from live to reporting server. some of my packages are very slow about 10 of them. strage enough the ones with more data number of rows run very fast. I'm using Source->Lookup->Conditional split->OLEDB Destination or OLDB Comand.
Can someone help me to found out what could be the problem. I'm very new in SSIS.

I am trying to run the Fuzzy Lookup on a SQL2K ref table using 2005 SSIS package and keep getting the following error:
[Fuzzy Lookup [2601]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Cannot create a row of size 8061 which is greater than the allowable maximum of 8060.".
Regardless of the changes I make I cannot get this to work and it would make a huge difference if I could get it to run.
Can I create the FuzzyLookupIndex on a SQL2K database?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Hi, I'm transferring lots of rows (each row is a problem) from an oltp database to a datawarehouse. These problems (rows) are transferred to the fact table. And a problem has attributes like status and logdate and solved_date (default null) and a sequence number. I also check every day for new problems in the source. Now the thing is ... I can write an SQL query to incrementally add new rows by using the sequence number as parameter. This is to lower querying time (BECAUSe the problem table has about 2.000.000 rows)
The Actual Question: I also need to write a query to update the tables in the Datawarehouse. For example when a status of a problem changes. When status changes from "unsolved" to "solved" it gets a date in the solved_date attribute. Now ... How can I write a query that goes fast through those 2000000 rows? Now I can't use the sequence_number because its not known when the problem gets solved. There is the fact that I run a query every day, so maybe I need to look at problems where a solved date is added on that day? Im just a novice in sql so maybe you guys know ways to do fast lookups in many rows? Or are there Data Flow tasks I can use? I was thinking about the slowly changing dimension but thats for dimensions right? :) So maybe any other tasks that are possible? I just need to put back on track because I cant find a good way to do this.

Hi,
I am facing a problem with Lookup component in SSIS. I need to lookup from a transaction table for getting some info, But when im trying to implement the same, the Pre-Execute step itself got failed saying like,
€œ[DTS.Pipeline] Information: The buffer manager failed a memory allocation call for 524264 bytes, but was unable to swap out any buffers to relieve memory pressure. 9467 buffers were considered and 5956 were locked. Either not enough memory is available to the pipeline because not enough are installed, other processes were using it, or too many buffers are locked.
[Tracer [19717]] Error: A buffer could not be locked. The system is out of memory or the buffer manager has reached its quota.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "Tracer" (19717) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020204B.€?
Component Tracer is the Look up. Tracer is having around 6.5 mil records. Is there any way to allocate more buffers thru buffer manager? Or is there any alternative to solve this problem? FYI, the hard disk free space is more than 250 GB.
Thanks in advance.

Hello there.
I've just upgraded from using DTS to SSIS. I've run through a few tutorials and am starting to use to the new ways of working.
There are however two task that I'm not really sure how to tackle, can someone suggest the best method in SSIS.
1) The destination table has many FK's. I'd like the package to check that the input data does not violate the FK's and use a default value for the columns where a violation occurs.
2) I need to increment a value in the package as a source column for use as the Primary Key field in the destination insert. It would be an added bonus if I could find out the maximum key used in the destination table already so that I can set my counter for this field at that value + 1.
Regards

Hi Everyone,
I'm building a package that is using the Fuzzy Lookup data flow item
and I'm receiving an error message that is troubling me!!!
"Fuzzy Lookup The length of input column is not equal to the length of
the reference column that it is being matched against"
If anyone can provide me any insight it would be greatly appreciated!

We have a LKP table that we will use to decode incoming codes from multiple sales feeds to link to the relevant surrogate key for the ultimate dimension table.
The LKP table has a start date, end date and active row flag to track history of the codes.
This table in its entirety is required for the FULL history load but we will need a CURRENT version of the table containing only the ACTIVE rows for the DAILY incremental loading.
I am thinking of putting a standard view over the top of the LKP table to present only the ACTIVE rows rather than creating a 2nd table and reloading it each night. We don't have enterprise edition to use materialised views.
My question is, will the LKP cache populate as the SSIS packages begins, loading it with all the rows from the view, as it would if I used the 2nd physical table with only ACTIVE rows?

How would you do the following in SSIS?
SELECT a.TestID,
a.TestCode
FROM TableA a
WHERE UPPER(RTRIM(a.TestCode)) IN SELECT (SELECT UPPER(RTRIM(b.TestCode)) FROM TableB b)
Of course the above query is missing a few things but with ETL the where clause UPPER(RTRIM does not appear to be something that has an object or property that I can use in the Lookup.
Please correct and educate me.

SSIS data flow transformation - Lookup task - best practice concerning Cachetype
I would like to know if there's any best practice concerning the CacheType property for the the Lookup task. Default value is "Full", but if the SSIS package is working with at lot of data, i.e. +10 mill. records from the OLE DB source to be handled through a variated numbers of data flow transformation tasks, it must have an impact memory usage if the lookup table also is a large table, i.e. +8 mill. records? When should I consider turning the property value to "none"

Hi All,
I have created a SSIS package with a Fuzzy lookup transformation.
It matches on 18 columns, looks for a 95 % match and has 50 variables that are passed through the transformation.
When I run the transformation it fails with the following error :-
Warning: 0x8007000E at Data Flow Task, Fuzzy Lookup [228]: Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.
Warning: 0x800470E9 at Data Flow Task, DTS.Pipeline: A call to the ProcessInput method for input 229 on component "Fuzzy Lookup" (228) unexpectedly kept a reference to the buffer it was passed. The refcount on that buffer was 2 before the call, and 1 after the call returned.

Error: 0xC0047021 at Data Flow Task, DTS.Pipeline: Thread "SourceThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0047038.
I have tried all suggestions to fix this e.g. implement SQL Server 2005 service pack 2 - didn't fix it, up your virtual memory - didn't fix it.
Can anyone suggest what to do next ? Thx - Gary

Hi,
I have an example situation that seems like it should have a super easy solution, but my jobs keep failing.
Here we go. . .
I have a SQL Server 2005 table as my source in a data flow task.
This table contains raw data.
We'll call it FACT_Product_Raw - which contains a field called ProductType varchar(1)
Let's say that ProductType contains values of "A" or "B" or "C" - or for that matter, some null and garbage values
I have a lookup table, LOV_Product_Types
This table contains 3 fields that will transform my raw data table
We'll call these fields ProdTypeID smallint, ProdTypeRaw varchar(1) and ProdType smallint
It contains pairs such that A = 1, B = 2, and so on.
Here's what I want to do.
I want to ADD a field to FACT_Product_Raw that contains the "looked up" value from LOV_Product_Types.
Let's say that I want to add the ProdTypeID field to my _Raw table.
I have used the _Raw table as both my source and destination
It blows up every time.
Help.
Thanks,
David

I had this (what seems to be a) simple question asked today and I'm afraid I didn't like my answer. Does anyone know the proper answer to this one:
Any ideas on how I can constrain a lookup or merge join based on the dimension row's effective and expired dates so three criteria are needed as follows:
1. DataStagingSource.ModifyDate < DataWarehouseDimension.RowExpiredDate AND
2. DataStagingSource.ModifyDate >= DataWarehouseDimension.RowEffectiveDate AND
3. DataStagingSource.NaturalKey = DataWarehouseDimension.NaturalKey

Has anybody seen this issue already?
If you try to "enable memory restriction" from the Lookup component GUI you need to input both 32 and 64 bit size of maximum memory. However when clicking "OK" on the editor you get a message like :
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio
------------------------------
Error at Update Execution Logs [Lookup folder path 1 [4429]]: Failed to set property "MaxMemoryUsage64" on "component "Lookup folder path 1" (4429)".

You can only set the properties directly for mthe Properties window (F4).
I think this is a post SP1 bug in Visual studio designer...

Hi there,
This is what I am trying to do :
1) Create a global variable.
2) assign a value to the variable using an SQL Task. (For this all I want to do is assign a maximum value from a column in my table)
3) use the variable in a Data flow task (using SQL to get my source data)
I know this must be very simple but I am new to SSIS and I am struggling to achieve this task.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,
I'm trying to use a variable in a OLEDB Command, but i can't do it.
What i want to do is:
Step 1: Count the number of rows of a table (using count rows transofrmation) and save it to a variable 'var1'.
Step2: Insert some rows on this table.
Step 3: Count again the number of rows and save it on another variable 'var2'.
Step 4: Ina OLEDB Command , get the inserted records in step 2 to manipulate them on other tables...
Something like that: select top (@var2 - @var1) * from table order by desc
¿Can i use local or global variables from an OLEDB Command transformation object?

I am using a lookup component in a SSIS data flow. The lookup is a select to a foxpro table. THe lookup works fine with full cache selected. I cannot get the lookup to work with a partial or no cache. I have the latest Foxpro OLE DB driver installed which I understand to support paramaterized queries. Has anyone had success with using cached lookup to Foxpro? Does anyone know how to set the lookup properties of sqlcommand and sqlcommandparam? I am unable to find any examples in BOL or on the web.
Here are some details. IF I go with "use a table or a view" option with the default cache query I get initialization errors
[lkp_lab_worst_value [6170]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro" Hresult: 0x80040E14 Description: "Command contains unrecognized phrase/keyword.".
In the advanced editor I see
SQLCommand set to
"select * from `kcf`"
and SQLCommandParam set to
"select * from
(select * from `kcf`) as refTable
where [refTable].[patkey] = ? and [refTable].[dayof_stay] = ? and [refTable].[modifier] = ? and [refTable].[kcf_code] = ? and [refTable].[source] = ? and [refTable].[kcf_time] = ?"
I believe the above error is because Foxpro V7 does not support the inner subselect . In addition the query contains CRLF without a continuation character (";").
If I remove the CRLF in the sqlcommandparam query, using the advanced editor, I get this design time error "OLE D error occurred while loading column metadata. Check the sqlcommand and sqlcommandparam properties". The designer requires both properties to be set, its unclear to me how the interact.
I cannot find any examples in BOL or on the web on how to set these 2 properties. Can someone give me a few guidelines?
I can get past the design errors by changing sqlcommandparam to a plain select that is VFP 7 compatible ( I removed the subselect and the square brackets):
select * from kcf as refTable where refTable.patkey = ? and refTable.dayof_stay = ? and refTable.modifier = ? and refTable.kcf_code = ? and refTable.source = ? and refTable.kcf_time = ?
But then I get a runtime error
[lkp_lab_worst_value [6170]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E46. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro" Hresult: 0x80040E46 Description: "One or more accessor flags were invalid.".
[lkp_lab_worst_value [6170]] Error: OLE DB error occurred while binding parameters. Check SQLCommand and SqlCommandParam properties.
Any idea on what I should try next ?

I have a process which connects to a SQL server remotely, runs some code, creates a temporary table with an output. I want to be able to select the results of this table into XML (not a problem), put the results into a variable in SSIS, and put the variable results into a SQL table a different SQL Instance. Doing it this way removes the footprint of needing a normal table on the source SQL Server.

I have a SSIS package that was migrated from DTS 2000. It had a variable that I passed to the DTS package when executing. Now when I try executing the SSIS package with the variable, I get the following error: The package path referenced an object that cannot be found: "package.variables[user::SnapShotDate].value". This occurs when an attempt is made to resolve a package path to an object that cannot be found.
From everything that I can find, I am passing the variable correctly. If I look at the package within BIDS, my variable is listed under the variable window & it is scoped for the package. Any ideas on what I might be missing here? This is my first SSIS package that contains a variable.
Let me know if you need more info.
Thanks!
