Hi! A question just struck me that I cannot test right now (donīt have vs2005 on this computer)...Is it possible to add a database-field value to an Xml-Source object attribute?
For instance <Object id=1 name="void" description="" /> is my souce xml... in this case I want to replace the description attribute value (string.Empty) with a value from my db... can this be done?

HI,
I had to change the key columns of a dimension attribute to fix an error. I did this in BIDS. The change was from a single key column to a composite key column. Now I am getting these error when I process the cube:
Measure group attribute key column x does not match source attribute ..
I looked at the cube XMLA definition under mesaure groups and it still shows a single key column with inherited binding. However, the BIDS does not give me an option correct this in any way. I have had to do this once before and the only option seems to be removing the dimension from the cube and add it back in. But that is very error prone since I lose any specific settings at the cube dimension level not to mention aggregations no longer include the dimension, etc.
Not seeing an alternative, I went through each measure group (I have 7) and changed the key columns manually in the XMLA and saved the cube. This worked, but I don't understand why BIDS automatically doesn't do it.
Is this a flaw in the BIDS or I should be missing something.
thanks

I want to insert attibute att1 in field F1 . Value for this attribute is content of another field in this table (F2).
My query :
update MyTable
set F1.modify
('insert attribute att1 {sql:column("F2")} into (/ROOT/Node1)[1]')
Where F1 Is not null
But I get this error :
XML well-formedness check: Duplicate attribute 'att1'. Rewrite your XQuery so it returns well-formed XML.
How do I check the douplicate attribute ?
I need create a field to store tax rate. I need only 2 decimal points. I defined the field as decimal, precision=5 and scale=2. Does it mean that it can hold value from 0.00 to 999.99?

I have some database tables, and each one of them have a creation_date and modified_date in them. I was trying to figure out a way where when a row in one of these tables is changed using Enterprise Manager (Database -> Tables -> select table -> right click -> select all rows -> change a field in a row inside a table), is there a way apart from triggers, such that the "modified_date" column for that row get changed to 'getdate()' (rather picks up the current datetime).
thanks in advance.
Dear Freinds..
I want to protect a field in a table...i want to restrict users to update the value in that field...by manually logging into that database...it can be updated only through the application...if any body manually update the field value....it has to be captured in log with old value....is it possible to do this sql server...if any of u says yes 'its possible' then :beer: other wise :eek:
hopefully, someone has already solved this problem
I have been assigned an application that maps data from access databases into a view in Sql Server 2005. A vb6 application does a select on the view. The recordset is then modified by the application, and eventually, the original tables will be updated with the new data. Some of the fields in the view are the result of calculations ( i.e. adding multiple varchar fields together to produce one complex varchar result ). Any of the fields that are calculated in the manner previously described have the adFldUnknownUpdatable bit set in the attributes of the recordset, and consequently, you get a -2147217887 error ( multiple-step operation .... ) when you try to change the value of the field in the recordset. Does anyone know how to get around this problem?
Hi guys,
I'm trying to find some attributes within a database I'm working with. I'm working with SQL Server 2000, and I'm trying to find table which have a certain attribute in them. for example, If I want to see tables from my database which have an attribute called 'home_address', what would the query be? Or is there an inbuilt function in SQL Server 2000 which allows me to search this?
Thank you!

If I have a table with 1 or more Nullable fields and I want to make sure that when an INSERT or UPDATE occurs and one or more of these fields are left to NULL either explicitly or implicitly is there I can set these to non-null values without interfering with the INSERT or UPDATE in as far as the other fields in the table?
EXAMPLE:
CREATE TABLE dbo.MYTABLE(
ID NUMERIC(18,0) IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
FirstName VARCHAR(50) NULL,
LastName VARCHAR(50) NULL,
[Code] ....
If an INSERT looks like any of the following what can I do to change the NULL being assigned to DateAdded to a real date, preferable the value of GetDate() at the time of the insert? I've heard of INSTEAD of Triggers but I'm not trying tto over rise the entire INSERT or update just the on (maybe 2) fields that are being left as null or explicitly set to null. The same would apply for any UPDATE where DateModified is not specified or explicitly set to NULL. I would want to change it so that DateModified is not null on any UPDATE.
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName, DateAdded)
VALUES('John','Smith',NULL)
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName)
VALUES('John','Smith')
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName, DateAdded)
SELECT FirstName, LastName, NULL
FROM MYOTHERTABLE
I have a web form with a text field that needs to take in as much as the user decides to type and insert it into an nvarchar(max) field in the database behind. I've tried using the new .write() method in my update statement, but it cuts off the text after a while. Is there a way to insert/update in SQL 2005 this without resorting to Bulk Insert? It bloats the transaction log and turning the logging off requires a call to sp_dboptions (or a straight-up ALTER DATABASE), which I'd like to avoid if I can.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a database that is actively being used and updated. When I look at the last modified date of the mdf file, it shows as a couple of weeks ago date and the transaction log file .ldf file shows a couple of days ago. wonder if the database is constantly updated and changed, should it show the currently date instead.

Hi,
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn Access, you have a combo with column designations for example me.combofield.column(x) and you can update another field with those column(x) values.
How do you do it in MS SQL?
I didn't mean "from a 'combo' field'" in SQL(!) I just want to reproduce the equivalent of an Access combo box.
Hi!
I have a strored proc which adds up fields separated by semicolon into a new one and I'd like to use it as a combo box's control source field as a Value list. But it's just insert the whole field into one line like value1;value2;value3 .
Is there any way to get these values selectable in the combo box?

I am moving data from a flat file source to a SQL Server table. But I want to add a columm that IS in the destination table, but NOT in the source file. Say the table column name is XXX in destination table, and there will be a global variable called @[User::XXX] that remains constant throughout the package. I would like to put the variable value into the destination column, even though the source file does not contain the field. Is there an easy way to do this?

I am exporting data from SQLServer 7.0 to a text file using DTS. A subset of the entire table is extracted based upon an indicator flag.
Question: How can I reset the flag while exporting the data? I am trying to avoid doing this in two separate steps because other users might update the data between the two steps. This would cause some rows to be flagged as exported when they, in fact, were not.
Thanks in advance,

I am new to SQL2005 SSIS. I would like to know whether the output of a data flow can be the data source of UPDATE SQL or not. If yes, how?
My situation is I use data flow task to select and transform some data from a Table A. Then, I transfer then output to a resultset destination and store the value in a variable X.
After data flow task finish, I want to use the data to perform update SQL by SQL task in control flow e.g.
update table B set fieldB1 = fieldA1 from X where B.key = X.key
I know I can store the output in data flow in a temp table, run SQL and then drop the temp table. But is it approcach is slow? Using variable/resultset is much faster?
Thanks.
Hi !
I have a very simple problems with SSIS.
I have a "XML Source". I update some value in my SQL2000 with OLE DB
Command (No problem at this point)
Now i need to update one value inside this XMLSource (Confirmation
variable) and generate a new XML file.
What objects i need to use to make this !
Thanks !
All,
I am having a brain-fart or something. I need help!!!
I'm developing a transform that selects data from a SQL script, then transforms that data, and then needs to update the data back into the same source table. The transform is working great, but I can't figure out the update table part. I've got it adding the transformed records to the table, but that's not what I need to do. I need to update the table with the changed data.
Any sample code or blog links would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for the help!

Hi all,
I've had little success gooling/searching for this (so far).
Given a simple spreadsheet:
StoreNumber StoreName
1
UPDStoreName_1
2
UPDStoreName_2
3
UPDStoreName_3
4
NEWStoreName_4
I want to have an SSIS package that will update a table: mystores (storenumber int, storename nvarchar(255))
StoreNumber StoreName
1
StoreName_1
2
StoreName_2
3
StoreName_3
5 StoreName_5
.. what I need to do is insert the new, update the existing and leave the remaining unchanged. i.e. :
StoreNumber StoreName
1
UPDStoreName_1
2
UPDStoreName_2
3
UPDStoreName_3
4
NEWStoreName_4
5 StoreName_5
(the UPD and NEW are added to simplify the example).
Now the default action of an excel source into an ole db destination is
an insert into the table - so PK constraints causes failures.
Now, given that the table is referred to by other table, and is in a
24x7 website, how do I change the SSIS package such that, on a
row-by-row basis, anUpSert (update or insert) is performed?
The only idea I have so far is:
create temp table
insert excel data into temp table
iterate through the table, using if exists ... update else insert logic <-- this to be done in a SP
Isn't there a better way?
Take a Dataflow Task, with an OLEDB Source Component and an OLEDB Destination Component in it. The Source component's Source is stored in a SQLQuery variable, and the Destination component's Destination is stored in a TableName variable. The Dataflow Task is put into an For Loop container.
I just want to do one thing:
In the For Loop, everytime it send a new value to the SQLQuery variable and the TableName variable, then I could use it to transfer many tables in a same logic.
My question is: Really, I could send new values to the variables and make it go. But everytime it says "The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns." Because the external metadata was recorded and not be change automatically everytime of Loop.
How to update the source columns'metadata automatically?
Hi all,
I'm trying to work out how to update a table from a flat file source.
I could use the simple way of using OLE DB Command with
UPDATE <tblName> SET Column1 = ?, Column2 = ?, <etc> WHERE ID = ?
then using the mapping to join the parameter fields.
However, this (maybe!) a slow process when you have potential 500k+ records in the source file (and approx 150 files to process!)
What I would like to do is the following statement but I'm not sure if this is possible?
UPDATE <tblName> SET Column1 = sourceColumn1, Column2 = sourceColumn1, <etc> FROM <sourcefile> WHERE ID = sourceID
I've also thought about importing the sourcefile into a Recordset Destination and trying to use the variable in the SQLCommand but I'm not sure how to do this...
Does anybody have any ideas on how this could work or an alternative solution?
Thanks in advance....
