I have 100+ tables that are imported from several OLE DB sources. In my current solution I am using 'SELECT * INTO' so I can grab everything without having to manually define a schema. I'm trying to build a SSIS package that will perform the same task but running into two problems. Any ideas?

Hi All,
I have a column in my table that is of varchar(max) datatype, when I try selecting the same using a ExecuteSQLtask and assign it to a variable of String datatype, its failing with the error,
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "Select [Path] from PARAMETERS where [Name] = 'List File'" failed with the following error: "The type of the value being assigned to variable "User::list_file_path" differs from the current variable type. Variables may not change type during execution. Variable types are strict, except for variables of type Object. ". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
What is the equivalent datatype, is String not good enough? Is there something I am missing out here ?If someone has gone through this and figured out a solution please help....
Hi,
I am migrating a dts package into SSIS.The dts package has a dynamic property to set the execution status of a data pump task in the package.
the dts paskage is setting the DTSstepexecstatus of the datapumptask to 1 or 3 ie waiting and inactive.
The dynamic property cannot be migrated to SSIS.
May i know any equivalent property in SSIS to DtsStepExecStatus property of Dts.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I am converting an ActiveX script. I am looking to replace the functionality of this statement:
If DTSDestination("CartoonCharacter") = "Felix" Then ...
So, it's checking the value in the TABLE, not the file.
I need to rewrite this for SSIS. What is the recommended approach? Is there a built-in task that will do this and how?
Thanks much
Hi everyone,
Right now we are trying to replace all stored procedures by SSIS logic.
One of the stored procedures does the following,
1. For Every record in PSTREELEAF find the Hierarchy FROM
PSTREENODE and store them in local valriables.
First the stored procedure pulls all the data from the PSTREELEAF table based on join condition into local variables using cursor. Then for every record in the cursor it finds the corresponding records from PSTREENODE table. This is just a part of the stored procedure.
can anyone tell me how can i do this in SSIS? and also tell me which task would be a perfect replacement for CURSORS in SSIS?
Thanks,

Hi,
I would like to use an equivalent of ROW_NUMBER() T-SQL function in a SSIS package.
I could create a temporary table and use a SQL request with ROW_NUMBER() function but I would like to avoid that and generate this column in the dataflow.
Is there an easy way to do that?
Thanks,
Arnaud Gervais.
Can anyone tell me how to do this in sql server?I am currently doing this query in oracle:select table1.col1,table1.col2,table2.col3,table4.col4where table1.col1 = table2.col3 andtable2.col3 = table4.col5 and(table1.col1,table1.col2) not inselect table2.col4,table2.col5 from table2it is the where two column values from any row are not found in anyrow in table2 part that I can't figure out.thanksJeff
View 10 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a dts package that currently uses a dynamic properties task to set the values of global variables. Each variable is based on the value of a query to the database.
I am in the process of migrating this dts package to SSIS but cannot find an equivalent function. I have looked at property expressions but cannot get this working the same way.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I am trying to read in a flat file, transform the fields and store into a destination database.
In DTS, this works using Transform Data Task Properties. I define the columns and then have a VB script on the Transformations tab that changes any bad data.
Is there a way to do this in SSIS that I can define the column transformations and re-use my VB scripts?

Hi JayH (or anyone). Another week...a new set of problems. I obviously need to learn .net syntax, but because of project deadlines in converting from DTS to SSIS it is hard for me to stop and do that. So, if someone could help me some easy syntax, I would really appreciate it.
In DTS, there was a VBScript that copied a set of flat files from one directory to an archive directory after modifying the file name. In SSIS, the directory and archive directory will be specified in the config file. So, I need a .net script that retrieves a file, renames it and copies it to a different directory.
Linda
Here is the old VBScript Code:
Public Sub Main()
Option Explicit
Function Main()
Dim MovementDataDir
Dim MovementArchiveDataDir
Dim MovementDataFile
Dim MovementArchiveDataFile
Dim FileNameRoot
Dim FileNameExtension, DecimalLocation
Dim CurMonth, CurDay
Dim FileApplicationDate
Dim fso ' File System Object
Dim folder
Dim FileCollection
Dim MovementFile
'======================================================================
'Create text strings of today's date to be appended to the archived file.
FileApplicationDate = Now
CurMonth = Month(FileApplicationDate)
CurDay = Day(FileApplicationDate)
If Len(CurMonth) = 1 Then
CurMonth = "0" & CurMonth
End If
If Len(CurDay) = 1 Then
CurDay = "0" & CurDay
End If
FileApplicationDate = CurMonth & CurDay & Year(FileApplicationDate)
'=====================================================================
' Set the movement data directory from the global variable.
MovementDataDir = DTSGlobalVariables("gsMovementDataDir").Value
MovementArchiveDataDir = DTSGlobalVariables("gsMovementDataArchiveDir").Value
fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
folder = fso.GetFolder(MovementDataDir)
FileCollection = folder.Files
' Loop through all files in the data directory.
For Each MovementFile In FileCollection
' Get the full path name of the current data file.
MovementDataFile = MovementDataDir & "" & MovementFile.Name
' Get the full path name of the archive data file.
MovementArchiveDataFile = MovementArchiveDataDir & "" & MovementFile.Name
DecimalLocation = InStr(1, MovementArchiveDataFile, ".")
FileNameExtension = Mid(MovementArchiveDataFile, DecimalLocation, Len(MovementArchiveDataFile) - DecimalLocation + 1)
FileNameRoot = Mid(MovementArchiveDataFile, 1, DecimalLocation - 1)
MovementArchiveDataFile = FileNameRoot & "_" & FileApplicationDate & FileNameExtension
If (fso.FileExists(MovementDataFile)) Then
fso.CopyFile(MovementDataFile, MovementArchiveDataFile)
' If the archive file was coppied, then delete the old copy.
If (fso.FileExists(MovementArchiveDataFile)) Then
fso.DeleteFile(MovementDataFile)
End If
End If
Next
fso = Nothing
folder = Nothing
FileCollection = Nothing
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success

Hi,
I have two variables
1. strStatement datatype (string)
2. objTable object (user tables)
the string strStatment returns a dataset
and is assigned to objTable.
I want write the data from objTable to a sql table
and it seems not to work.
Here is what I did.
I used data flow task to either select from a a string or objectTable.
but it give me an error.
Is it possible to add a variable in SSIS like
name of variable: myVar
Scope: Data Flow Task
Data Type: String
Value:SELECT hello FROM blah WHERE (azerty = @[User::pda]) AND (qwerty = @[User::phone])
@[User::pda] and @[User::phone] are also variables in SSIS just like the myVar I made
I know I'm doing something wrong with the data type because it's stores the whole select statement as a string

I am trying to do the following for a few tables in my DB. I have an ODBC datasource and would simply like to update my DB from this datasource. I want to pull the table data from my ODBC datasource, delete any existing data in my SQL tables and then insert the data from my ODBC datasource into SQL. I am trying to create an SSIS package to do this but am not sure where to start. Any help or examples would be appreciated.
View 6 Replies View RelatedCurrent situation:
Our data source is Oracle and there is a particular column, called number_of_units, with datatype numeric(28, 0) that we will extract into SQL Server data destination.
However, in our SQL Server data destination this column has a datatype numeric(34, 14). This is because we used this column to do some basic calculation (e.g. number_of_units/60) and we need to keep the decimals in tact.
In our current SSIS, we do a select query with CAST from the data source:
SELECT CAST(number_of_units AS NUMERIC(34, 14)) AS number_of_units FROM TABLE_A;
Will casting up from numeric(28,0) to (34,14) cause bigger number of bytes to be transferred across from the data source? I am talking about millions of records over here.
Are there other better ways of doing it?
1) Don't do a CAST in the select query (i.e. SELECT number_of_units FROM TABLE_A).
2) Add a derived/calculated column with numeric(34,14) in SSIS to fill in the calculation.
3) Lastly, load the calculation into SQL Server data destination.
I have looked around and found the equivalent for IIF (Access) to be aSELECT CASE in SQL. I have tried this with no success. I am also lookingfor the equivalent of MAX and have had no luck. The portion of thestring I am trying to SQL'ize is:SELECT Max(IIf([ADCN.ADCN] Is Null,0,[ADCN.ADCN])) AS ADCN FROM ADCNINNER JOIN Sheet ON ADCN.RecordID = Sheet.RecordID WHERE (Sheet.Drawing= '" & x & "') AND (Sheet.SheetNumber = 0);This portion is the most important:SELECT Max(IIf([ADCN.ADCN] Is Null,0,[ADCN.ADCN])) AS ADCN*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to find if there is a combination of dataflow transformations that will produce the following result
SELECT
period,
project,
task,
employee = CASE
when empid in (SELECT DISTINCT empid FROM EmpTable) then empid
else 'Deleted Employee'
end
FROM ProjectTable
I know I can create a dataflow task with this query as a data source and then send it to a destination, but I was wondering if that is the best way to do it or if there was a better way to do this using the data transformations available in SSIS.
Any insight would be most appreciated.

hi,
Below are 2 oracle commands
1. (calls an oracle package) - call lpaarchive.pibrdg.setlastbridgeruntime(sysdate);
2. (selects rows) - select timestamp ,
pitag ,
rtlmp from LPAARCHIVE.I_PIBRDG_BUS5MINRTLMPS
where timestamp <= (sysdate + 0.002777778)
order by TIMESTAMP ASC;
I need to execute these 2 statements together. I tried using Execute SQL task to call the package and then an OLEDB source that calls a variable with the select statement. But it does not retrieve any rows. It seems like the result of calling the package is used by the select statement to give the final rows. Could anyone please help me resolve this issue.
Recently, my company's deveolpment machine crashed. We had to format the harddrive which meant we lost some of our databases.
We managed to restore the databases, but we do not know in what state, i.e. which stored procedures were written between the restore point and the point the machine crashed.
Tow questions related to this:
1. I was wondering if there is any product that is similar to soursesafe but appied to databases, so that this problem will not happen again. Does Enterprise manager do something like this?
2. I was also wondering if there was anyway to undo an sql command. e.g. my colleague recently ran a command to update a database, but forgot to write the where clause!! That data was recovered aswell, but it would be nice to have some sort of undo button.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
In this sql syntax
Quote: "SELECT table1.ID, table1.Catagory, table1.PostCount, table1.LastPostDate, table1.Description, table2.Username, table2.ID AS UserID FROM Catagories AS table1 INNER JOIN Users AS table2 ON table1.LastPostBy = table2.ID"
Is this the equivalent?

I have 2 SQL statements in Visual Basic(with sybase as backend)
1) "set option DBA.MAX_STATEMENT_COUNT = 1069999900"
2) "set option DBA.MAX_CURSOR_COUNT = 1069999900"
And when I migrated the DB from Sybase to SQL server and try to run the vb code it is giving me error in that SQL statement as MS SQL server might not be recognising the above two statements. Is there an equivalent of this in SQL server.
