Update Specific Fields With An Import (DTS Package)
Dec 15, 2006
Hello all
I am trying to import an XLS to a table in my database. Sounds simple, but the import should be an UPDATE, not an INSERT. In other words, I want to transfer data from the XLS sheet, to specific field in my database.
Let me explain more clearly.
I have an XLS sheet with a manager ID and a employee ID. The table in the database is already populated with all employee ID's but the field manager ID is still empty. Every employee has a different manager.
The import should place the manager ID's in the fields where the employee ID is the same as in the XLS sheet.

Hi, I have two FormView, and I need to know if the DataSet contains specific fields to display it in the first FormView or in the Second FormView. Is it possible?
Using Transact-SQL how can I copy all fields except one from one record to another? The field in question being the identity field. Since, this field cannot be duplicated a simple INSERT statement fails. How can I specify an exclusion list of fields?
Hi All,I'm familiar with the syntax that looks like this:SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Email LIKE '%aol%'Which would return all users that whose Email column contains "aol".However, if I wanted to do that sort of a search using a prepared statement, how would I do it?I can't simply doSELECT * FROM Users WHERE Email LIKE '%@MatchAgainst%'Can somebody clue me in?
I'm trying to create an output file in a specific layout. For some reason my output file is adding an extra 10 spaces between the Account Number and the Check Number in the statement below. The rest of the output file looks fine. Where the extra 10 spaces are coming from? I need 1 Filler Space between these fields.
SELECT DISTINCT CASE p.PaymentMethodID WHEN 10 THEN 'I' WHEN 60 THEN 'V' WHEN 50 THEN 'S' ELSE 'I' END + CONVERT(CHAR(1), '') + (REPLICATE('0', 20 - LEN(ba.AccountNumber))+ CONVERT(CHAR(20), ba.AccountNumber)) + CONVERT(CHAR(1), '') + (REPLICATE('0', 18 - LEN(p.CheckNumber)) + CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), p.CheckNumber))
I have slq 2005 dev ed. I have 100 tables but have a vendor that supplies me with product information in a tab delimited txt formated I need to know how to import this information into the correct table and fields can anyone help me.
Pardon me if this question is too elementary. I am trying to create a trigger that will cause certain datafields to be updated with values from other data fields in the same row when a certain column, created specifically to fire the trigger, is updated. The purpose of this is to reduce data entry by field personnel.I think I have the create trigger statement correct, but I'm a little confused on the update statement.
In a nutshell, how can I write something like: UPDATE "TABLENAME" SET DATAFIELD1 = DATAFIELD2 WHERE RECORDNUMBER = (THE SAME RECORD NUMBER)
I do know that I have to ensure that sp_dboption Recursive Triggers value is set to false, thanks.

I have to SELECT from my ProjectBudget table 5 times to update my #TempTableESR table. is there an UPDATE command i can use which would let me update multiple fields in a table using one SELECT command?
Hi, I'm a newbie doing my very first UPDATE procedure. I want to UPDATE a specific row in my Sql db table, WHERE FirstName = "John" AND LastName = "Smith".

I'm strugeling for quite soem time and hoping to get your assistance:
facts:
We have a flat file source each record has the same set of columns, let's call it "identifying columns" each row can have after the identifying columns (but not all the records have it) a second set of columns, let's call it "detailed info". the "detailed info" set can repeat itself several time for each record We have a sql table destination The row in the table should represent an "indetifying columns" record
sample record 1:
David | 1 | Rodeo Drive | 456 |
sample record 2:
Jeff | 2 |
sample record 3:
John | 3 | Sunny rd | 111 | Marvell str | 6
expected output in the table:
David | 1 | Rodeo Drive | 456
Jeff | 2 | null | null
John | 3 | Sunny rd | 111
John | 3 | Marvell str | 6
question: How do i import the data from the source file into the table, when i dont know in advance how many columns each record has? and how do i divide the sets of "detailed info" into different records in the db?
I'm trying to copy data with time stamp from one server to another, but I'm keep getting the following error.
Error 0xc0202048: Data Flow Task: Attempting insertion into the row version column "TimeStamp". Cannot insert into a row version column. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Is there anyway I can deselect the timestamp field when I run the wizard? How can I successfully transfer the data? Thanks
I would like to now how can I check if a specific package is running now, at the moment.
the reason I need it is because I enable in a web page to run ssis package using web servise. I would like to be sure that no more than 1 person is starting the package until it completes.
I need to be able to call a SSIS package with a specific parameter for one of the variables. Basically the package needs to be triggered from an application (.NET, C#) with a specific value.
The package is stored in the SQL Server (in Stored packages).
I have seen the article on dtexec and the SET flag, however we do not want to turn on xp_cmdshell on the SQL server due to the security implications, and that seems to be the only way to call dtexec
I have seen another article that says you can have a job invoke a package then have a specific user granted permission to the job, but that doesn't address how to set the parameter/variable for the package.
There are actually some other steps that technically need to run using the same parameter, so ideally if I could have a stored procedure call the SSIS package, then the subsequent toher stored procedures using the sent in parameter that would be great. I just can't figure out how to do this securely (as xp_cmdshell is not considered secure).
I have a table where I want to prevent user from deleting or setting a flag on a field to "y" with a database trigger (sql 2000). I understand the trigger for just one (stopping the delete, or stopping the field being changed to "y"). Should I have 2 seperate triggers or would there be a way to handle both.
Kairn writes "I have created a table and imported data from another table to it. I need to update the existing data with values from another import but only need specific columns and am assuming a stored procedure is the way to go...IF I create a source table as well as destination(?). I have to compare the value in 6 columns to find the matching record in the destination, then update 5 of the other columns where source=dest. Finally, I need to sum, by row, the value in 3 of the columns and update another column to reflect it. All rows are unique in the destination. The source is a duplicate of them. Basically, the rows are identical aside from the values in the columns I want transferred. The rows must remain unique. I am a newbie and have no idea how to do this. Would you please submit a basic outline and I can fill in the rest?
Thank-you very much for your time and expertise, Kairn"
I have a CSV file that encloses all the data fields with quotation marks. Here is a sample:
"08/01/2007","3","021200012","123","0.03"
Is there any way in SSIS that I can tell the Flat File wizard to ignore the quotation marks? I don't want to import the quotes in the database since that will really mess up other applications that need to use the data.
It's very easy to make a generic xml configuration file for the connection to the database for all packages my project contains. The connectionstring is the same for all these packages
Now I want to do the same for all flat file sources I have in my project where the connectionstring is not the same for all packages.
For example I use the following flat files in my project:
c:AAA.txt
c:BBB.txt
c:CCC.txt
If I move the packages to the production database the flat file sources are located in another directory.
So in fact for the flat file sources there is a generic part for all files (in this case 'c: ') and a specific part ('AAA.txt', 'BBB.txt' and 'CCC.txt').
Can I indicate this in the package configurations sections? And how?
I am building a data warehouse. I have many columns I want to populate in a fact table using integration services. Sample fields are: companyID, companyName, companyNumberOfAccounts, company, NumberOfUsers.
In the integration services package, I would like to keep this fact table in place and populated with data and to build integration services packages that update each of the existing row's specific columns (e.g. companyNameOfAccounts) one by one. For example, I have a source of data that has companyID and companyNumberOfAccounts data.
Is it possible to use the SQL Server Destination or OLE DB Destination Integration Services elements to import companyID and companyNumberOfAccounts data so that existing records just have their companyNumberOfAccounts column updated?
Hi, i'm new to SSIS and trying to import some csv files (comma delimited) into SQL Server. A NULL value for a CHAR column is correctly regonized as NULl in SQL Server, but a NULL value for of a mapping to a VARCHAR column in SQL Server is not recognized correctly and i get the value "'NULL'" in SQL Server (including the single comma.
Sample:
CSV file contains columns A and B. A and B contains the Text NULL. Column A is mapped to a CHAR field, and column B is mapped to a VARCHAR field in SQL Server. After the import, SQL has the following value: A = NULL as NULL, B 'NULL' as text.
I have a ssis package which runs daily. This ssis package has couple of execute sql tasks which load data for yesterday's transaction. Ex.
INSERT INTO Shipped (Div_Code, shipment_value, ship_l_id, shipped_qty, shipped_date, whse_code,
ord_id, ship_id, ship_l_ord_l_id, Created_date) select ord.DIV_CODE as div_code, ship.SHIPMENT_VALUE as shipment_value, ship_l.SHIP_L_ID as ship_l_id, ship_l.SHIPPED_QTY as shipped_qty, ship.SHIPPED_DATE as shipped_date, ship.WHSE_CODE as whse_code, ord.ORD_ID as ord_id, ship.SHIP_ID as ship_id, ship_l.ord_l_id as ship_l_ord_l_id, Getdate() as Created_date from SHIP ship, ORD ord, SHIP_L ship_l where ship.SHIPPED_DATE=(dateadd(day, -1, CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),GETDATE(),120))) and ship.WHSE_CODE='WPP' and ord.ORD_ID=ship.ORD_ID and ship.SHIP_ID=ship_l.SHIP_ID
All execute sql task has query like above query. and in some query we have date filter which loads data for yesterday. Ex. one query has ship.SHIPPED_DATE=(dateadd(day, -1, CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),GETDATE(),120))). some other query has ord.trans_date=(dateadd(day, -1, CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),GETDATE(),120))). this package runs daily through sql server job, so It loads data for yesterday. Now If i want to run for any particular date, How could we achieve from ssis?
I have a text file which I used as an initial load of data, containing a little over a million rows. I would like to produce a daily "update" file, which contains changes to existing rows, and creation of new rows. What is the best method of updating the existing table in power pivot?
What do I need to do to import Ebcdic file with comp3 packed data fields from mf into SQL Server? Is this possible? Do I need to go into advanced properties and change the data type? Or do I need to use data conversion task for the packed fields. Any advice or if somebody could point me to a sample script would be greatly appreciated.
I am new to this level of coding in SQL SERVER 2012, but I am looking to update the TITLE_YEAR field in the temp table with the Year the employee is in that title. For example for employee 11127 the data should look like this:
EMP_IDTitle DateValue TITLE_YEAR 3 Senior Consultant 2009-01-01 00:00:00.0001 3 Director 2010-01-01 00:00:00.0001 3 Director 2011-01-01 00:00:00.0002 3 Director 2012-01-01 00:00:00.0003 3 Director 2013-01-01 00:00:00.0004 3 Senior Director 2014-01-01 00:00:00.0001
I am currently working on a website that deals with sales of products. For one of my pages for the website I need it to be able to change the current sales information for a specific product.
The top part of the following code selects the specific product however I cannot get the update query to work.
Code: $describeQuery = "SELECT p.ID, p.NAME, dt.[Year], dt.[Month], dt.SalesVolume FROM Products p join (select ProductCode, sum(SalesVolume) as SalesVolume, [Year], [Month] from MonthlySales group by ProductCode, [Year], [Month])dt on dt.ProductCode = p.ID WHERE [NAME] = '$desiredProduct' AND [Year] = '$desiredYear' AND [Month] = '$desiredMonth'";
$editQuery = "UPDATE MonthlySales SET SalesVolume = '$NewSales' WHERE ID = '$desiredProduct' AND Year = '$desiredYear' AND Month = '$desiredMonth'";
I have a record in an Excel format (Excel 2010) and I would like to bulk import that into SQL Server 2008 and also while importing, SQL Server will automatically create a new table based on the header fields or row of the source file.
I am not sure if SQL Server 2008 has this capabilities.
Hi all,I asked a similar question a few weeks ago but I didn't explain myself to well so I was hoping for some more input.I have created a webpage in Visual web developer that contains a gridview that points to an SQL table.All works well as far as searching the table and sorting. The SQL table itself is Droped ( deleted ) and then re-created every 1 minute from a query to a linked DB2 database so that we have a "live" table of our DB2 system but in SQL.....However,There is now a requirement to be able to ADD data to this SQL table. eg: a comments field.. from the website.My procedure for re-creating the SQL DB is now useless as any data added through the website would be lost when the table gets re-created.What is the best way for me to achieve a permanent table in SQL that gets updated from the Linked server DB2 but that I can also add comments from the front end (Website Gridview)..I'm assuming some sort of update query and a join to a seperate, permanent table that contains the comments?.Please help. Ray..
I'm not a T-SQL expert so I'm calling on the pros. I want to design a stored procedure that updates only fields in a given record for which a non-null parameter is specified. Example: Create dbo.MySproc @CustomerID int, @CustomerFirstName varchar(50)=NULL, @CustomerLastName(50)=NULL AS UPDATE Customers SET CustomerFirstName= @CustomerFirstName , //update only if non-null CustomerLastName= @CustomerLastName //update only if non-null WHERE CustomerID = @CustomerID RETURN So say when calling sproc if @CustomerFirstName is specified but @CustomerLastName is not, the field CustomerFirstName would be updated but field CustomerLastName would retain original data. Thanx in advance!
