Visual Studio Closes When Accessing The Columns Tab Of A Lookup Transformation Referencing SQL 7 Table
Jul 30, 2007
I'm creating a new Integration Services Project that copies data out of a SQL 7 server, transforms it, and places the data on a SQL 2005 (SP 2) Server. When defining a lookup transformation, if I specify an OLE DB Connection to my server running SQL 7 as the reference table, as soon as I click on the Colums tab, Visual Studio closes / crashes and dumps me to windows. I don't get an error message. If however I specify a connection to a server running SQL 8, or SQL 2005, no problems.
Is this supposed to happen?
My workstation is running Windows XP Pro SP2, Visual Studio 2005 Pro.
Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Designer
Version 9.00.1399.00
The server that doesn't work for a reference table is running Windows 2000 Server SP4
SQL 7.00.623
Thanks for your help,
Kirk

I am trying to edit an SSIS package due to a change in the schema of one of the source tables. When I open the package in Visual Studio, I see the exclamation mark on the object but before I can make change or go to edit anything in the package, I hear the "dumphhh" sound that indicates an error. There is no dialogue box but the program is now locked up. Then after 10 - 20 seconds the program closes.
How am i supposed to add the new column to the data source metadata if I can't edit the package?

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.

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

The documentation on the fuzzy lookup transform mentions that only columns of type DT_WSTR and DT_STR can be used in fuzzy matching. I interpreted this as meaning that you could not create a mapping between an input column of type DT_NTEXT and a column from the reference table. I assumed that you could still have a DT_NTEXT column as part of the input and mark this as a pass through column so that it's value could be inserted in the destination, together with the result of the lookup operation. Apparently this is not the case. Validation fails with the following message: 'The data type of column 'fieldname' is not supported.' First, I'd like to confirm that this is really the case and that I have not misinterpreted this limitation.
Finally, given the following situation
- A data source with input columns
Field_A DT_STR
Field_B DT_NTEXT
- A fuzzy lookup is used to match Field_A to a row in the reference table and obtain Field_C.
- Finally, Field_B and Field_C must be inserted into the destination.
Can anyone suggest how this could be achieved?

I created an SQL database in Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition and would like to edit it in SQL Server Management Studio Express. The only databases listed in the Object Explorer of SQL Server MSE are the system databases (ones that are part of the SQL Server MSE).
If I dig through the directories, I can locate my database under the Visual Studio directory, but I am unable to open it. I get an error message stating, "There is no editor available for [my database]... Make sure the application for the file type (.mdf) is installed."
I'm sure that this is a ridiculously simple rookie mistake that I'm committing somehow, but I'm stumped. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Hello,
What permissions do I need to set on our new SQL Server 2005 test server so that I can see the stored procedures, views and tables from Visual Studio development environment.
Example, I can see my older SQL Server 7 tables, edit them, write stored procedures, and so on. But while I can see the SQL Server 2005 and its databases, the folder underneath are empty and I cannot right-click to create New stored procedure or table.
My guess is that there is security involved, if so, what do I set on the new server?
If I'm wrong, and it's something else entirely, please advise.
Thanks!

Hello,
I have developed some packages to load data into "Fact" tables in the data warehouse.
Some packages are OK, other ones not. What is the problem?: some packages load fact tables with lots of "Lookup - Data Flow Transformation" into the "data flow task" (lookup against dimension tables) but they are very very slow, too much slow to be choosen as a solution.
Do you have any other solutions to avoid using "Lookup - Data Flow Transformation"? Any other solution (SSIS, TSQL and so on....) is welcome to speed up the Fact table loading process.
Thank in advance

I have a requirement to access a lookup table from within an SSIS Transform Script Component
The aim is to eliminate error characters from within the firstname, lastname, address etc. fields by doing a lookup of an ASCII code reference table and making an InStr() type comparison.
I cannot find a way of opening the reference data set from withing the transform.
Regards
Tim

My source has 2.2 million of records. I'm performing the incremental load.In the lookup transformation i used the destination table for the reference using Full cache mode.For the first time package executed successfully but when i executed the package second time, Suddenly Package hangs while running.Than i truncate the data from the destination table and restart the SQL Server Services.After doing all this i executed package again and it worked but when i executed package second time, again package hangs up .I have 8GB RAM and i5 2.5 GHz Processor laptop.

I'm using an ObjectDataSource in Visual Studio to retrieve records from a SQL Server 2005 database.
I have a very simple dilemma. In a table I have fields FirstName, Surname, Address1, Address2, Address3 etc. None of these are mandatory fields.
It is quite common for the user not to enter data in Address2, Address3, so the values are <null> in the SQL table.
In Visual Studio 2005 I have an aspx form where users can pass search parameters to the ObjectDataSource and the results are returned according to the passed in parameters.
The WHERE clause in my Table Adapter is:WHERE (Address1 LIKE @Address1 + '%') AND (Address2 LIKE @Address2 + '%') AND (Address3 LIKE @Address3 + '%') AND (FirstName LIKE @FirstName + '%') AND (Surname LIKE @Surname + '%')
If, for example, I simply want to search WHERE FirstName LIKE ‘R’, this does not return any results if the value of Address3 is <null>
My query is this: Could someone please show me the best way in Visual Studio 2005 to return records even if one of the Address fields is <null>.
For reference, I have tried: Address3 LIKE @Address3 + '%' OR IS NULLThis does work, however itsimply returns every instance where Address3 is <null> (accounting for about 95% of the records in the database). Thanks in advance Simon

Does anyone know how to reference the ongoing dataset within the dataflow in sql?
So here is the scenario I have.
1) OLE DB SOURCE
2) Lookup a value and that column gets added to the dataset
3) Lookup another value but this time I would rather code the sql rather than select a referencing table. How do I reference the current dataset?
Thanks,

I am building a Visual Sudio process that will Truncate and load data to an Access database (2010) from SQL Server (2012). I have one "Execute SQL Task" for one table (LungCancer_HF_Patients):
"DELETE LungCancer_HF_Patients.* FROM LungCancer_HF_Patients;" that parses and works.
I have another table (Report1):
"DELETE Report1.* FROM Report1;"
that does not parse with a message "The query failed to parse. Incorrect syntax near '*'."
Why the first one parses correctly and the other one does not?

I'm working with an existing package that uses the fuzzy lookup transform. The package is currently working; however, I need to add some columns to the lookup columns from the reference table that is being used.
It seems that I am hitting a memory threshold of some sort, as when I add 3 or 4 columns, the package works, but when I add 5 columns, the fuzzy lookup transform fails pre-execute:
Pre-Execute
Taking a snapshot of the reference table
Taking a snapshot of the reference table
Building Fuzzy Match Index
component "Fuzzy Lookup Existing Member" (8351) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0x8007007A.
These errors occur regardless of what columns I am attempting to add to the lookup list.
I have tried setting the MaxMemoryUsage custom property of the transform to 0, and to explicit values that should be much more than enough to hold the fuzzy match index (the reference table is only about 3000 rows, and the entire table is stored in less than 2MB of disk space.
Any ideas on what else could be causing this?

Code Snippet
Hi there,
I'm struggeling for more than a week now with this problem, without a finding the solution.
I have two databases, MS Access and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
Using a procedure in Visual Studio i would like to copy all the records from one table in MS Access into an existing table in SQL Server (the tables have the same name and the same layout)
I tried to prepare one Dataset to copy from Access into SQL Server but when i run the command 'DaSQL.Update(DsSQL, "Tabella") nothing happens (not even an exeption has been raised), looking during debug, the DataSet seems filled though...
Please could anyone explain what's wrong and / or is there a more quicker way to copy data from a table to another?
Note i woul have as a final goal to get data from an AS400 database by ODBC, manage it, and put it on SQL Server for a 'data mining' scope (eliminating the use of MS Access, not suited for FE-BE).
the procedure goes like this;
' Create a connection to the MS Access Database
Dim connectionToAccess As New OleDbConnection(DBConnectionAccString)
strsql = "SELECT * FROM [TABELLA]"
connectionToAccess.Open()
Dim DaAccess As New OleDbDataAdapter(strsql, connectionToAccess)
Dim DsAccess As New DataSet("ACCESS")
DaAccess.FillSchema(DsAccess, SchemaType.Source, "Tabella")
DaAccess.Fill(DsAccess, "Tabella")
' Create a connection to the SQL Database
Dim connectionToSQL As New SqlConnection(DBConnectionSQLString)
connectionToSQL.Open()
Dim DaSQL As New SqlDataAdapter(strsql, connectionToSQL)
Dim DsSQL As New DataSet("SQL")
DaSQL.FillSchema(DsSQL, SchemaType.Source, "Tabella")
DaSQL.Fill(DsAccess, "Tabella")
DaSQL.Update(DsSQL, "Tabella")
Note I tried also the following, withou a result;
DsSQL = DsAccess.Copy
DaSQL.Update(DsSQL, "Tabella")
Please is there someone who could respond !!???

Hi All,
I am doing something really simple and it doesnt work, may be I am missing something, What I am trying to accomplish is to load a fact table using lookup transaformation, however my source data was different from the data in my dimension (or the datatype ) I had to use a data conversion task before my lookup , so the data flow is something like this source -> Data Conversion -> Lookup -> destination , I am getting an error at my lookup task where it says the "[Lookup [82]] Error: Row yielded no match during lookup". and then it just fails. I know for sure that there has to be matching data. donno what is it that I am missing.
Thanks

Hi,
I am totally new to SSIS.
I need an example of how to use a Lookup transformation. Basd on that i need to lookup for some recs and delete records from transaction table. I have used the Execute SQL task for this and i am able to achive my requirement. But now i am using XML configurations for Connection Managers and for that very reason i dont want to hard code the catalog names(database names) inside my Execute SQL task.
Can any one suggest me how to do the same using a Lookup transformation or any other.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank Q,

Hi,
I have a Dataflow task which loads data from a flat file to a Fact table named Inventory , doing a dimensional Key lookup with DIMStores - which is the dimension table for stores information.
If I have some rows in the flatfile whose 'Store' column doesnt have a corresponsing key in the DIMStores table, I want to insert all these stores in to DIMStores table and then update the Inventory table accordingly ..
Any idea how do to this ?
Thanks in Advance,

I have a question based on Lookup Transformation component. If using Lookup component, the data cannot be NULL for available columns mapping. How about I want to keep the NULL value like outer join instead of inner join? Is there any way to do since I have several Lookup components inside of my dataflow?

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to perform a lookup transformation. But the deal is, I have this one value that I am passing into the transformation, but I would like to gather all values that match the value I put in....does the lookup transformation do this? I tried it, and it appears as if it only returns one value for the one input. After the lookup, I have an access OLE DB destination setup...so I can capture all those values that corresponds to that one value I passed into the lookup. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can go about this?
Thanks!

I have a report problem. I'm using a parameter to dynamically control visibility for two tables. If the parameter is set to one value, I want to switch one of the tables to invisible, if the parameter is set to another, I want the other table to be invisible instead.
This all works fine in Visual Studio. When I publish it to my report server, the visibility controls no longer function and both tables always display. Any ideas here?
I'm running 2005, SP2 CTP.

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.

Hello,
I have a table like this:
Customer
Group
A
10
B
20
I need to do a translation of "group" to €œlocal group€?:
Customer
Group
Local Group
A
10
11
B
20
21
When a match is found, the group code should be replaced by the local group code ... but, when no match is found the group code should stay.
Is there any way to do this using Lookup ? I tried but when you set the error output to ignore it replaces the value that has no match with a NULL value. Maybe there is another way to get this done with or without the lookup component ?

I have a lookup transformation that retrieves a key for a certain column of values, in this case, a name. So, I go in to the lookup table with a name and come out with its key. I had it working and then I added new entries to the lookup table for a bunch of new names. Now, for some reason, I am not getting the matches for the new names. But I am still getting the matches for the names that existed before I added the new ones.
I'm wondering if the lookup transformation is using the old set of data and some how not picking up the new names. Do I have to trigger something in the lookup transformation to let it know that the lookup table data has changed?

Hello all,
I needed to lookup some table values based on a join of two fields...
I've configured the lookup transform to get the values via a SQL statement to minimize loading time.
However, when creating the relationships between the input columns and the lookup columns I receive following error:
input column [BATCH_ID] has a datatype which cannot be joined on
I've checked both input and lookup columns, both are of type DT_R8... Both columns in the different tables do have the same datatypes
Any idea how to solve this problem??
Thanks in advance

I've been going round in circles trying to understand what design I should use for a particular transformation/lookup problem I have. Would appreciate a few pointers.
On the data flow, I can create the data source easily with a SQL Query that returns 4 columns...
eg. myDb.dbo.Table1
Col1,
Col2,
Col3,
Col4
The end result at the Destination is:-
myDb.dbo.Table2
Col1,
Col5
Table1.Col1 maps directly to Table2.Col1 -- easy
Table2.Col5 is a result of a lookup query to different tables in the same db based on the value of Table1.Col1, Table1.Col2 & Table1.Col3.
I've already had problems with the Lookup component that forced me to give up using it because it wouldn't adequately support parameters. I was forced to use the Script component instead. However, this problem is a bit different because I don't need to try and reference variables as parameters and, instead, I need to use the values from the source query (Col1, Col2 & Col3).
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Clive

Hi,
There is one data flow task in the package. I have a column in the input set called "ID". The total number of rows in the input set is > 50000.
There is one table in the database which has the description for all the IDs. I need to get the "Description" value from the database for each row. The table contains nearly 12 lack records.
For that I am using lookup transformation. In lookup, I specified the query and column mapping and I got the new column "Description".
Here is the problem.
while running the package, the lookup is getting all the 12 lack rows from table and then it is matching the rows.
It is taking huge time.
Can any one suggest me how to improve the performance of this situation?
Thanks in advance.
