Using Wild Card Filter Character In Conditional Splits In SSIS
Mar 26, 2008
I am using Conditinal split in my package. I need to remove certain rows which are matching my criteria. The criteria requires using wild card characters like, first_name = '%john%'.
I am developing one web site, in that I can upload files to sql server, it will save the uploaded file in binary type and we can download the files from there. Upto this everything is working perfectly. But now my problem is - i have to implement the wildcard character search in this site. The file name and extension will save on the database in different columns, and one more thing is file name is unique. I confused to implement wildcard search in this site, where i can implement this type of search in database or in my application with c#? So please help me to do this. I dont know that this is the right place to post this question or not. If it is not right place, please guide me to where I can post this. If it is right place, please help me to implement wild card search.
I'm trying to put together a script that would alter a table and add NOT FOR REPLICATION to the identity column on several hundred tables. Since I am unable to write a complex script to automate the entire process, I've decided to do the update one table at a time. Here is a script that I'm working on. I'm getting an error message when I try to run the script. Can someone please show me how to properly use variable with a wild card in a string ? or how to properly add this variables in this script?
DECLARE @Var1 AS CHAR(50), @tbn AS CHAR(50) SELECT @tbn = 'tablename' SELECT @Var1 = Name FROM SysIndexes WHERE Name LIKE 'pk%' AND Name LIKE '%' + @tbn + '%' EXECUTE('ALTER TABLE [@tbn] DROP CONSTRAINT ' + @Var1 ALTER TABLE + @tbn + DROP COLUMN mkey ALTER TABLE + @tbn + ADD viewkey INT IDENTITY (1,1) NOT FOR REPLICATION NOT NULL ALTER TABLE + @tbn + ADD CONSTRAINT PK_+ @tbn PRIMARY KEY (mkey) WITH FILLFACTOR=90 ON [PRIMARY]
In the below section of code I'm connecing to a SQL database and when I use the "=" in the search it works ok, but when I try to add the ability to use wildcards by changin "=" to "LIKE" its not working
Working code:
Function GetName(ByVal first_Name As String) As System.Data.DataSet Dim connectionString As String = "server='(local)'; trusted_connection=true; database='FamilyInfo'" Dim dbConnection As System.Data.IDbConnection = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString)
Dim queryString As String = "SELECT Names.* FROM Names WHERE (Names.First_Name = @First_Name)" Dim dbCommand As System.Data.IDbCommand = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand dbCommand.CommandText = queryString dbCommand.Connection = dbConnection
Dim dbParam_first_Name As System.Data.IDataParameter = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter dbParam_first_Name.ParameterName = "@First_Name" dbParam_first_Name.Value = first_Name dbParam_first_Name.DbType = System.Data.DbType.StringFixedLength dbCommand.Parameters.Add(dbParam_first_Name)
Dim dataAdapter As System.Data.IDbDataAdapter = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter dataAdapter.SelectCommand = dbCommand Dim dataSet As System.Data.DataSet = New System.Data.DataSet dataAdapter.Fill(dataSet)
Return dataSet End Function
Code that I would like to work
Function GetName(ByVal first_Name As String) As System.Data.DataSet Dim connectionString As String = "server='(local)'; trusted_connection=true; database='FamilyInfo'" Dim dbConnection As System.Data.IDbConnection = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString)
Dim queryString As String = "SELECT Names.* FROM Names WHERE (Names.First_Name LIKE '%' + @First_Name '+')" Dim dbCommand As System.Data.IDbCommand = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand dbCommand.CommandText = queryString dbCommand.Connection = dbConnection
Dim dbParam_first_Name As System.Data.IDataParameter = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter dbParam_first_Name.ParameterName = "@First_Name" dbParam_first_Name.Value = first_Name dbParam_first_Name.DbType = System.Data.DbType.StringFixedLength dbCommand.Parameters.Add(dbParam_first_Name)
Dim dataAdapter As System.Data.IDbDataAdapter = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter dataAdapter.SelectCommand = dbCommand Dim dataSet As System.Data.DataSet = New System.Data.DataSet dataAdapter.Fill(dataSet)
Hi All, I'm trying to use a very simple SQL String that check if a specific string exist in the DB. When I do the SQL and use a regular Connection I get the result. When I use a data set and on the table adapter I need to use the "LIKE %" method I get an error.
What should I write on the table adapter in order to make this search?
ItemID is a type string.
This is my SQL: SELECT itemID, itemName FROM Items WHERE (itemID LIKE @ItemIDTemp)
This sample give no result or
SELECT itemID, itemName FROM Items WHERE (itemID LIKE '%' + @ItemIDTemp + '%')
This sample return an error message "Data conversion failed. [OLEDB status value (if known)=2]"
I am trying to copy data from one table to another with a conditional split to validate the date. In my source table, the date field open_date is stored as string YYYYMMDD (19941231) while in my destination table it is stored as a datetime field.
My source date has bad data in the field, ie invalid dates e.g ( 20012017, 19701043). I wanted to use a conditional Split to filter records with bad dates into a file I was looking for a function like ISDATE (open_date) = True then go to table else put in file. But have not been able to find one.
Or if they is another way to achieve this, I would be interested.
I need to conditionally include a filter in the below DAX query such a way that if an Account_ID is passed (as client side parameter) the filter should be included in the query otherwise if it is zero, the query should return results across all account. For example, if total purchase is queried for Account_ID=2 the query should be like this:
May be this has already been answered . but I didnt find anything while I was searching, so heres the questions.
How do I filter out all my records that have a particular column as not NULL , I wanna use conditional split to do this, say for example my table has three columns col1, col2 ,col3 I want all the records where col3 is not null, how do I write "col3 is not null" using expression in conditional split?
I want to check if I have excessive page splitting a for a certain table/index does anyone know if it is possible to monitor page splits for a certain table/index?
I have two connections in a package pointing to two different databases on the same server. I have to insert records from 'DB1' table 'Gender1' to 'DB2' table 'Gender2'. Before I do that though, I have to make sure the minimum value (of all the Gender Keys that are going to be inserted) of 'DB1' 'GenderKey' (which is an identity field) is greater than the maximum value of DB2-GenderKey (which is a primary key but not an identity field). How can I do this simple check? I have to do this process for many different tables ....... Gender table is just an example. If someone can give an detailed explanation on which tasks to use and how to use them (as I am relatively new to SSIS) that'd be great.
If DTSGlobalVariables("gsPrevProcessCount").Value > 0 Then MsgBox "The data for one or more of your members has already been processed. Please review your data files and remove the processed files from the data directory." Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Failure Else Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success End If
End Function
In SSIS, I have an Execute SQL Task that returns a variable PrevProcessedCount. Now, I am stuck. How do I display a message to the user (or maybe just put it in the audit log) and how to I check the variable and stop processing my package?
I have a condition where if column5 is equal to 1 then put column6 into the destination column "dest6", if it is not equal to 1 then put column6 in destination column "dest7"
What is the best way to do this in SSIS?
If I have to use the conditional split then do I have to copy my complete mappings, exact change this one column?
Thank for the help this mapping will take me a long time!
First post here. Anyway, I have a question regarding SSIS. I'm currently given a task that requires reading a flat file, applying duplicate removal as well as invalid data removal, processing it, and finally writing it to a SQL Server 2005 DB.
Part of the processing requires checking for partial duplicates in the batches of records provided in the text file. For example, the record contains a a phone number, status, timestamp of creation and various other entries. If a phone number is repeated (meaning, duplicate entry), a column called 'Status' must be checked, and only entries with the status of 'C' is allowed through.
Another part of the processing requires that if the phone number is repeated along with various other entries including status, the timestamp of creation is checked and only the entry with the most recent timestamp is accepted.
I would like to know how to implement this in SSIS without using table objects and scripts, as my experience tells me that doing this in a script can really take a hit on system performance. The task is expected to handle tens of thousands of records in a day.
I am trying to run one of the mining models from the book "Delivering BI using SQl Server 2005" but I am running into "Decision Trees found no splits for model". The mining structure has 4 columns, the fourth one being marked as "Predict Only". My Cube slice for the model has sufficient data in the cube. I am lost.. Help!!
Hi, I've build correctly my report using the most efficient tools. I've made the preview and it worked just fine!However, when I export to PDF, it splits the report heigth into two pages, having the columns of my table and other controls splitted.
I'm already using the font size as 7 or 8 (depends), really small, I've tried hard to reduce their size, however the result remains the same...no resolution!!
Is there anybody who may have or had this situation?Any guests or help?Thanks a lot!
We have more than 100 packages which referenced many of the same data sources. In ideal situation, we would like to create three master filters based on the dev, test, and prod servers and all packages can just reference the same filters. However since one package normally only use a subset of master connections defined in the configuration files, if only those subset of connections are set up in the package, when the package is first open in BIDS, lots of errors will pop up saying that it could not find the connections defined in the configuration files. Even though this will not cost runtime error, it is still very annoying. Does anyone have better ideas on how to handle this?
I am new to SQL Server, DTS etc... But here is the question I have:
I have some files in a folder which have a the yr, month, date appended at the end, for e.g. testfile2005_11_28.log In a folder I have to look for the log files which are named testfileYYYY_MM_DD.log.
Dim item For Each item In logFolder.Files If (UCASE(item.Name) like ("TESTFILE" +"[0-9][0-9][0-9][0- 9]"+"_"+"[0-12][0-12]"+"_"+"[0-3][0-9]" + ".log") )Then msgbox item.Name End For
I am getting compilation error: "Sub or Function not found" in the If statement. Can anyone please help me?
Right the answer is probably simple but the Internet and books and everything has been no joy to me whatsoever.
I want to split my data stream based on the date. So I want to use a conditional split object to do this.
I entered the following as my case date_created > (DT_DBTIMESTAMP)"01/10/2000"
When I move off the line it stays black so appears to be okay, yet when I run my package it says it is not a boolean result and fails. Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong.
Also I cannot filter in the source call due to the sheer amount of work being done on the data before the split.

I need to use SSIS to connect to an FTP server. From there I need to download files to a local folder. I need to download only today's files and also on those files starting with Training or Recruitment. I have managed to set up tasks that copy all but I am having such a hard time writing a script using C# that will download using the filters.
Can anybody help me out in 1) implementing cursors in SSIS. I want to process each row at a time from a dataset. I was trying to use Foreachloop container but in vain. Can you please answer in detail.
my few other questions are: 1) Can i do nested inner join in SSIS. If yes, how? ( I have three table i need to join Tab1 to table 2 and get join the table 3 to get the respective data) 2) I have a resultsets. I want to split the data according to data in a col. Say for instance: Col1 Col2 A 1 A 2 B 3 C 4 C 5 i want to split the data according A, B and C . i.e., if Col1= A then do this, if Col1= B then do this..etc. How can i do this using conditional split task in SSIS
I used a non-printing character (hex 97) in one of my derived column transformations which made my data flow task comopnents disappear, and throw the error during execution:
"Warning: The DataFlow task has no components. Add components or remove the task."
In order to fix the package, I thought I could open the .dtsx file in code/raw form, find the misbehaving character, remove it, and I'd be good to go.
But I can't figure out how to read the .dtsx code to find the character (despite my best efforts with a hex editor).
Anyone have any ideas? Fixing this package could save me days of rework...
Hi, I am using Visual Studio 2005. I am trying to create a ASP.net website and use a web form to get the results of an enquiry. It is almost the same as the presentation video on this website called "How to Create Data Driven Website", but I have added a new twist to it. I want to use the "LIKE" instead of "=" in my SQL statement and I want to use wild cards in the parameter value that I enter. <form id="form1" runat="server"> <div> <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox> <% dim str as string = "%" & textbox1.text & "%" </%> <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server" Visible="False" Text=str></asp:TextBox> <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Submit" Width="87px" BackColor="Khaki" ForeColor="Navy" PostBackUrl="~/Default.aspx" /> and the ControlID of the Datagrid will take in the value of "TextBox2" instead of "TextBox1" as so: <SelectParameters> <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="TextBox2" DefaultValue="SO06000001" Name="SO" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" /> However the syntax above does not work. May I ask what is the correct syntax? Thanks. Peter
I am very new to sql and would like some help with a simple select statement. I am trying to pull birthdates using the following code. I can get the query to run but some of the dates are not between the parameters. What am i doing wrong?
SELECT Employees.EmployeeStatusID, People.FirstName, People.LastName, People.BirthDate FROM Employees FULL OUTER JOIN People ON Employees.SystemAssignedPersonID = People.SystemAssignedPersonID WHERE (People.BirthDate BETWEEN '10 - 01 - 1900' AND '12 - 15 - 2007') ORDER BY People.BirthDate
I would like to know how to import in the custom delimited text file by using SSIS. For example, instead by using tab or comma delimited, I use this character : '¶' The reason is the delimited format that SSIS provided is too common such as colon, semi colon, tab, comma and pipeline. I have the data that the user also key in the pipeline there. So I am thinking to separate the field by using this special character, but cannot see if there is anyway to import in by using SSIS.
I am importing the values for field Atype from a .csv file as DT_STR, 13 and I need to fit them into a bit type CType field.
When I write the conditional split ((ISNULL(Atype)?"a":Atype)!=(ISNULL(CType)?"9":CType)) it says that the DT_WSTR and DT_I4 types are incompatible and that I need to explicitly cast with a cast operator. I haven't been able to make it work, how to explicitly cast?
We are building a dataload application where parameters are store in a table. And there are multiple packages for each load.There is a column IsChecked column if it is 1 then only the child package should execute.Created a master package. In which i have taken execute SQL task in that storing a results in variable and based on the result the child package should execute. But In executesql task i selected result set as full result set. Â I am getting the below error.
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "SELECT Â isnull(ID ,0) AS ID FROM DataLoadParameter..." failed with the following error: "The type of the value (DBNull) being assigned to variable "User::LoadValue" differs from the current variable type (Int32). Variables may not change type during execution. Variable types are strict, except for variables of type Object.".
