Writing Parent/Child Records To Flat File
Mar 19, 2007
I have a set of parent/child records that need to be exported to a space delimited Flat File. Each parent record must be followed by 3 child records, each on their own line with different format.
I have a prototype using the Derived Column component that concatinates the various fields of each record into one "wide" text column. This fools SSIS to think that each row has the same format. Then I merge them together using an artificial sort id. But this seems overly tedious and very brittle.
What would be the best approach to writing these records out? I'm hoping there is a better more maintainable method.
Thanks,
Jon

declare @table table (
ParentID INT,
ChildID INT,
Value float
)
INSERT INTO @table
SELECT 1,1,1.2
[code]....
This case ParentID - Child 1 ,1 & 2,2 and 3,3 records are called as parent where as null , 1 is child whoose parent is 1 similarly null,2 records are child whoose parent is 2 , .....
Now my requirement is to display parent records with value ascending and display next child records to the corresponding parent and parent records are sorted ascending
--Final output should be
PatentID ChildID VALUE
33 1.12
null3 56.7
null3 43.6
11 1.2
null1 4.8
null1 4.6
22 1.8
null1 1.4

I am importing data from a paradox table and trying to clean it up. I have this query that finds all the child records that are not in the parent table.
Select MemberID
FROM memtype AS a
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT *
FROM members AS b
WHERE a.MemberID IN (b.MemberID));
Now I'm trying to delete all those child records instead of just selecting them so I tried...
Delete MemberID
FROM memtype AS a
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT *
FROM members AS b
WHERE a.MemberID IN (b.MemberID));
Sql clearly doesn't like this

I have an application that has an existing query which returns org units (parent and child) from organization table with orderby on createddate + orgid combination.
Also I added another log table Organization_log with exact columns as Organization table and additional 'IS_DELETED' bool column.
WITH Org_TREE AS (
SELECT *, null as 'IS_DELETED', convert (varchar(4000), convert(varchar(30),CREATED_DT,126) + Org_Id) theorderby
FROM Organization WHERE PARENT_Org_ID IS NULL and case_ID='43333'
[code]...
I need to modify the query:
1. To display the records both from the Organization table and Organization_Log table.
2. The orderby should be sorted on 'Organization Name' asc and it should follow the child order in alpha sort as well.
E.g.:
aaa
==>fff
==>ggg
bbb
==> aaa
==> hhh
eee
==> ccc
==> ddd
==> fff

Hello,
We have a complex functionality of migrating data from a single record into multiple parent child tables.
To give you an example, lets us assume that we have a single table src_orders in the source database. We have a parent Order table and a child OrderDetails table in the target database. We need to pick one row from src_orders and insert this row in the Order table, pick up its PK (which is an identity column) and then use this to insert rows (say 5) in the OrderDetails table.
Again, we go back to the source, take a row, insert it into Orders, pick up the Orders PK and insert n rows in OrderDetails.
As of now, we are using the following approach for achieving this functionality.
1. Get the identity generated from the target table and store both the source table id and the target table id in a recordset.
2. Use the recordset as the source to a foreachloop , using foreachADO enumerator
3. Use data flow tasks to get the fields from the parent table for the source id, that needs to be inserted into the target child table
In case I have not ended up confusing everyone, can anyone validate this or suggest a better approach? :)
Thanks,
Satya

Given the sample data and query below, I would like to know if it is possible to have the outcome be a single row, with the ChildTypeId, c.StartDate, c.EndDate being contained in the parent row. Â So, the outcome I'm hoping for based on the data below for ParentId = 1 would be:
1 2015-01-01Â 2015-12-31 AAÂ 2015-01-01Â 2015-03-31Â BBÂ 2016-01-01Â 2016-03-31Â CCÂ 2017-01-01Â 2017-03-31Â DDÂ 2017-01-01Â 2017-03-31
declare @parent table (Id int not null primary key, StartDate date, EndDate date)
declare @child table (Id int not null primary key, ParentId int not null, ChildTypeId char(2) not null, StartDate date, EndDate date)
insert @parent select 1, '1/1/2015', '12/31/2015'
insert @child select 1, 1, 'AA', '1/1/2015', '3/31/2015'
[Code] .....

Hi,I have a stored procedure that has to extract the child records forparticular parent records.The issue is that in some cases I do not want to extract all the childrecords only a certain number of them.Firstly I identify all the parent records that have the requird numberof child records and insert them into the result table.insert into t_AuditQualifiedNumberExtractDetails(BatchNumber,EntryRecordID,LN,AdditionalQualCritPassed)(select t1.BatchNumber,t1.EntryRecordID,t1.LN,t1.AdditionalQualCritPassedfrom(select BatchNumber,RecordType,EntryRecordID,LN,AdditionalQualCritPassedfrom t_AuditQualifiedNumberExtractDetails_Temp) as t1inner join(select BatchNumber,RecordType,EntryRecordID,Count(*) as AssignedNumbers,max(TotalNumbers) as TotalNumbersfrom t_AuditQualifiedNumberExtractDetails_Tempgroup by BatchNumber, RecordType, EntryRecordIDhaving count(*) = max(TotalNumbers)) as t2on t1.BatchNumber = t2.BatchNumberand t1.RecordType = t2.RecordTypeand t1.EntryRecordID = t2.EntryRecordID)then insert the remaining records into a temp table where the number ofrecords required does not equal the total number of child records, andthenloop through each record manipulating the ROWNUMBER to only selectthe number of child records needed.insert into @t_QualificationMismatchedAllocs([BatchNumber],[RecordType],[EntryRecordID],[AssignedNumbers],[TotalNumbers])(select BatchNumber,RecordType,EntryRecordID,Count(*) as AssignedNumbers,max(TotalNumbers) as TotalNumbersfrom t_AuditQualifiedNumberExtractDetails_Tempgroup by BatchNumber, RecordType, EntryRecordIDhaving count(*) <max(TotalNumbers))SELECT @QualificationMismatched_RowCnt = 1SELECT @MaxQualificationMismatched = (select count(*) from@t_QualificationMismatchedAllocs)while @QualificationMismatched_RowCnt <= @MaxQualificationMismatchedbegin--## Get Prize Draw to extract numbers forselect @RecordType = RecordType,@EntryRecordID = EntryRecordID,@AssignedNumbers = AssignedNumbers,@TotalNumbers = TotalNumbersfrom @t_QualificationMismatchedAllocswhere QualMismatchedAllocsRowNum = @QualificationMismatched_RowCntSET ROWCOUNT @TotalNumbersinsert into t_AuditQualifiedNumberExtractDetails(BatchNumber,EntryRecordID,LN,AdditionalQualCritPassed)(select BatchNumber,EntryRecordID,LN,AdditionalQualCritPassedfrom t_AuditQualifiedNumberExtractDetails_Tempwhere RecordType = @RecordTypeand EntryRecordID = @EntryRecordID)SET @QualificationMismatched_RowCnt =QualificationMismatched_RowCnt + 1SET ROWCOUNT 0endIs there a better methodology for doing this .....Is the use of a table variable here incorrect ?Should I be using a temporary table or indexed table if there are alarge number of parent records where the child records required doesnot match the total number of child records ?

I am trying to update a parent table with a summation of its child records. The child records are being deleted because the transaction has become invalid because payment was made with a bad check or there was a posting error. So a rollback of sorts is required.
Here are is the DDL for the tables and DML for the data:
Code:
DECLARE @t1 TABLE
(
[Year] int NOT NULL,
[Parcel] varchar(13) NOT NULL,
[InterestDateTime] datetime NULL,
[Principal] decimal(12, 2) NULL,
[Penalty] decimal(12, 2) NULL,
[Code] ....
I tried to use a Merge statement with an ON MATCH for each TransType, but it complained that I could not have multiple update statements. OK. So I tried a MERGE with single update statement with a case and it complained that I was updating the same parent multiple times, which I was and want to! So, I tried the following update statement and it still does not work, though no error message.
Code:
update t1 set
t1.Principal = t1.Principal + (case when t2.TransType = 'R' then t2.Payment else 0 end),
t1.Penalty = t1.Penalty + (case when t2.TransType = 'P' then t2.Payment else 0 end),
t1.Interest = t1.Interest + (case when t2.TransType = 'I' then t2.Payment else 0 end)
from @t1 t1
inner join @t2 t2 on t2.YEAR = t1.YEAR and t2.Parcel = t1.Parcel
I am expecting the following after the update:
Code:
Select * from @t1
201200000018092013-03-14 00:00:00.000 211.15 10.00 3.14

My Tables are in SQL 2005. I was thinking to read the Category records in a Data Reader and within the While Loop, call a SP to retrieve the matching records from Products Table. If matching records found, call System SP_Mail to send the E-mail. The drawback with that for every category records (Within While Loop) I need to call my SP to get Products Data. Will be OVERKILL? Ideally I would like extract my records with one call to a SP. Is there any way I can run a while loop inside the SP and extract Child Data based on Parent Record? Any Help or sample URL, Tutorial Page will be appreciated. Thanks

I am trying to write a query that will retrieve all students of a particular class and also any rows in HomeworkLogLine if they exist (but return null if there is no row). I thought this should be a relatively simple LEFT join but I've tried every possible combination of joins but it's not working.
SELECT
Student.StudentSurname + ', ' + Student.StudentForename AS Fullname,
HomeworkLogLine.HomeworkLogLineTimestamp,
HomeworkLog.HomeworkLogDescription,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY HomeworkLogLine.HomeworkLogLineStudentID ORDER BY
[Code] ...
It's only returning two rows (the students where they have a row in the HomeworkLogLine table).Â

Hi All,
I though i'd been going about setting up my SSIS package to run via a SQL job in the correct way. It would appear however that is not the case.
I have 4 SSIS packages, one of which is the parent package which calls the other three in sequence. I want to run this from a SQL job so that it calls the parent package and it deals with the others. There are connection managers in the package which use a SQL account to access the relevant databases. In addition i have encrypted the package.
I have set up a configuration file which holds the password package and the BillingSystem connection manager password. This file is re used by each package.
After deployment i have set up the SQL agent job to run the parent package. The job returns an error. Looking at the SSIS logging it appears that it completes the SQL task in the parent package and then fails when trying to launch each of the sub packages with an error stating that the SQL account used in the connection manager login failed. It looks as though the sub packages are not getting the password value from the configuration file and this is causing the failure. I though that each package would automatically pick up the config file as it has been setup to do. I have specified the configuration file in the SQL job but this appears to make no difference. Running the integrations seperately i have to add the configuration file in manually to the Run Package dialog box before they will work. This is not saved for the next run.
Can anyone help me get around this problem as i think i have the wrong idea as to how it is supposed to work.
Cheers,
Grant

I have a file with a parent child records in the same file.
My game plan is to get it into a table recognize the parents and put them in the parent table and recognize the children and put them in the children table.
The problem I am having is the flat file import chokes on it because the column withs are different from line to line (parent / child).
Any thoughts or suggestions would be apprecaited.

Hi
I have a data flow task where I have to write to a flat file. It works fine for me. But the thing is next timeI run the package it must write the data in the OLDEB source to a different copy. Usually the data is overwritten or appended to already existing data. What I want is everytime the package is run the data must be written to a different copy.
Thanks

I have a Foreach loop which scans a table, and gets names of a bunch of procedures, and then back in the foreach loop, they get executed. Im trying to figure out how I can create a sort of log file to say the name of the procedure that is getting executed currently and the current date time stamp onto a flat file. I havent been able to figure this out yet..anyone know how to do this? I grab the names of the storedprocedures from the table and store it in a variable and use the name from the variable to actually execute the stored procedure.
I guess in essence, the question is how do i directly write lines of 'text' (from say a variable) into a flat file.

Hi,
I am writing to a flat file. When the data is written to a flat file the columns have to be tilde seperated i.e ~.
What I am doing is I am taking a destintaion text file and having all the columns as tild seperated. Is there any way I can
avoid doing this. That is I should not mention couluns in the text file.
Lastly I want the columns to have a width that is fixed.
How I can do this.

Col1,Col2
C,D
Is there any way to resolve this?
I don't want the file to be overwritten everytime since its used for record-keeping purposes.

I'm unable to figure out how to write a column header to my flat file destination. My source is a OLE DB SQL query and I need the column names as a header row in my text file destination. This seems easy but the closet I can find is hardcoding the column header row in the header property. Is this the only option?

Flat file is the source for to load the data into a table. I am using "Derived Column Component" for the data validation.
"Derived Column Component" Fails then i am writing/redirecting the records into the Flat File using "Flat File Destination" component.
It works fine except the following the issue.
Issue:
The derived columun value (that cause an error) is not get inserted into the Flat File
Scenario:
the data comes as "000000" and tring to convert to date format
(DT_DATE)("20" + RIGHT(Check_Date,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING(Check_Date,1,LEN(Check_Date) - 4) + "/" + SUBSTRING(Check_Date,LEN(Check_Date) - 3,2))
The above expression is working fine, except the data 000000 not passed into the Flat File Destination.
Pls advise. Thank you.

Hi,
I am trying to write to a fixed format flat file using Flat File Destination Data Flow Component. I have all required information gathered from more than one sources. But when I tried to format the columns to a big string that will make up one line in the flat file, I could not figure out how to do that. Couple of issues that I am facing are:
How to padd different columns? For example, One interger column has could be 1 to 10 character long in my case. When I convert to string, dont know how to padd the remaining characters i.e. if the value of integer is '1234', it should be written to file as '1234 ' . Which transformation is best in this case, if available?
How to convert T-SQL datetime to a specific date and time format to write in the flate file? I have to write these date formats depending upon one of the parameters passed.
Also, I dont want to put a delimiter at the end of each column, just the new line characters at the end of each record.
Some of the columns has some unwanted characters (like new line characters) how to find them and remove them from the string.
Can we directly write columns to a specific position in the flat file? e.g. col 1 a position 1 and col2 starts at postion 20 etc.
Your co-operation will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Paraclete

I have a variable defined as "Country". Based on the value, the header row printed needs to be different.
I've already created a 'HeaderRow' variable that I'm able to set using a script task. But how can you set the Header text value at run time from the variable? There is no expression defined for the Header with the Flat File Destination object, and when I attempt to reference the HeaderRow variable as the Header text, the variable name is printed as the header.
Another approach I tried was to write the Header Row separately through another data flow task, but the issue here is: what is the input source when all you have is a Country variable?

I have a package that contains three database tables (Header, detail and trailer record) each table is connected via a OLE DB source in SSIS. Each table varies in the amount of colums it holds and niether of the tables have the same field names. I need to transfer all data, from each table, in order, to a flat file destination.

We are using an ADO.NET provider in SSIS to read data from a SQL Server 2000 table that contains DateTime columns to write to a Flat File Destination. When the date values are written to the file they are formatted in TimeStamp to the 10th decimal position; e.g.€œ2006-04-24 12:00:00.123000000€?. Since SQL Server supports values to Timestamp(3), we need to truncate the last seven zeros to put the data in this format €œ2006-04-24 12:00:00.123€? to keep the file as small as possible.
Since we have several hundred DateTime columns in scope for our requirements we are looking for the least logic/effort to accomplish this task. We can do this via Data Conversion and Derived Column transformations to cast the dates and strings but it is very labor intensive. It would be something like singing 99 bottles of beer on the wall eight times in a row with each verse taking 3 minutes each. Yikes.
We have tried casting the DateTime columns to varchar in the SELECT statement but receive this format €œApr 24 2006 12:22PM€?.
Is there a configuration we've missed that forces timestamp(10) with non significant digits?
