Writing A DTXS Package To Extract 50 Tables To 50 Text Files?
Nov 26, 2007
Is there a quick way to extract a full dump of 50 tables to 50 corresponding text files?
i.e.
table_a has to be extracted to table_a.txt
table_b has to be extracted to table_b.txt
table_c has to be extracted to table_c.txt
etc.
I don't want to have to add each one separately by hand in the DTSX package designer.
I can't see any way to do it in a loop (because you have to do the field mapping).
I can't seem to get the DTS Wizard to help - it only seems to be able to handle one table-to-text extract at any one time.
And I've tried editing the DTXS file directly (in XML) but it looks like it's going to be rather complex, even if I only do it to define the connection managers.
Feel free to suggest any better way to do this, though the specification has already been agreed, so I'm unlikely to be able to change it.
Thanks

I am having a scenario where all the stored procedures are stored in a folder (one sql file per sproc). Stored procedure does not have 'IF Exists .... DROP Procedure' in the script so before creating them we have to drop all sproc manually.
Can anyone help me writing a script / SSIS process to loop through each file in folder and write "IF EXISTS ... DROP PROCEDURE" with the procedure name in it ??
I can create a package that loop through each file in FOR each Loop task but dont know how to write in file using .net
Thanks in advance

I am trying to create a text file from multiple SQL Tables using @BCP_Command. I tried using DTS and SQL but the number of columns in the tables have to be the same size when doing a union. I also not to place a delimeter between each column. I've learned how to use BCP_commands on one file not sure if you can make it work with two or more.

I need to export multiple tables from a database to multiple csv files (one for each table).
Rather than use SSIS and have multiple OLEDB sources and destinations (one for each table), is there a way to have a generic package that will export all the tables in the database ?
One way I can see is to use BCP in a loop - with the loop powered by a select statement that links to something like sys.tables etc, (or another table that i prepped with just the tables I want if I dont want them all).
i.e I would use a stored procedure that uses BCP (called via XPcmdShell) - so not via SSIS - although I could wrap up the whole thing in SSIS - but there is no realy need.

So i have about 80 different SSIS PAckages that load different text files into tables. each package has a config file that contains password, server name and user id. I want to forward these packages to a use who will execute them. So instead of giving the user 80 packages to execute manually, how do i put these packages into one parent package so that the user has to only execute this parent package instead of executing 80 different packages NB. package exec is manually. (we will automate later) so this is a temp measure.

I am transferring data from Oracle tables into text files, and facing these errors.
1. I have a varaible working as an expression and my query goes into that variable and onwards that variable is passed to dataflow task, which parse the query. my query is simple saying "Select * from PLS.ABC" where PLS is my schema, but the task generates error "Opening a rowset for "Select * from PLS.ABC" failed. check that the table exists in the database. and surely the table is there.
2. I have a foreach loop that iterates through all the table names and the table names are passed onwards to the varaible query, the dataflow task inside the foreach loop gets the variable query and will generate text files based on tablenames which i have supplied in another variable to the connectionstring property of the flatfile destination. Is it possible or not. all the tables have different columns and i need the output in text files.

Hello everyone !
I want to perform Full Text Search with SQL Server 2000. My documents (.doc, .xls, .txt, .pdf) are stored in a SQL Server field which is binary (the type of the column is image).
I would like to know, how you can extract pieces of text from the documents.
Example:
I have a ASPX page with codebehind in C# making the search in a table in SQL server that is full text indexed.
I make a search looking for the word "peace", than SQL server will take care about the search and return it to me the rows that match with that. But also I'd like to extract the 50 characters before and after where sql server found the word "peace" to show in the result page.
Does anyone has any idea how to work around it ?
Best regards.
Yannick

NY,NJ,PA,DC,AL Â --- each state to be followed with comma and the next state
correct query that will fetch  only state names and not the numbers.

I am using the following select statement to get the row count from SQL linked server table.
SELECT Count(*) FROM OPENQUERY (CMSPROD, 'Select * From MHDLIB.MHSERV0P')
MHDLIB is the library name in IBM DB2 database. The above query gives me only the row count of table MHSERV0P. However, I need to get the names, rowcounts, and sizes of all tables that exist in MHDLIB librray. Is it possible at all?

Hi, I'm relatively new to SQL and ASP.NET and I'm after some assistance to what I hope is an easily achievable goal.
I need to upload some files (.pdf, .doc, .jpg - whatever) to a directory on my webserver. Once this has been done, I'd like to write some data to an SQL Database Table that will contain information about these files in a datagrid (or something similar) along with a link to download them.
E.g I upload car.jpg which is located at /images/secure/car.jpg and is a photo of car. When a user logs in, they will be shown a datagrid which pulls information from said SQL database and in this datagrid will be something like:
Filename Description Link
car.jpg A pic of a car Download
If anyone is able to help me out with regards to linking to a file from an SQL dB it would be greatly appreciated, and if you require any further information just let me know :)
Ben.

Hi guys,I have a stored procedure that I will subsequently post below thismessage. What the stored procedure does is, it reads some specifictables in a database and created XML off it.The problem comes in when the data is bigger than a few hundred/thousand characters. The data is truncated and the XML file is notfully made.Now i have been reading some posts by some people and tried using TEXT/NTEXT/ IMAGE type to write the files but they give me errors which,again, I am adding to this email.STORED PROC:****************************CREATE PROCEDURE usrp_sp_makexmlfile@str varchar(50),@templatefile varchar(255),@ReturnValue as image OUTASSET NOCOUNT ONDECLARE @strVar as varchar(8000)/*DECLARE @ReturnValue as varchar(255)*/Set @strVar = 'Select * from ' + @str + ' FOR XML AUTO'Set @templatefile = 'c: emplate.tpl'EXEC (@strVar)SELECT @ReturnValueGOTHIS IS WHAT I GET WHEN I USE IMAGE/NTEXT/TEXT TYPE:************************************************** *******An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException'occurred in system.data.dllAdditional information: Parameter 2: '@ReturnValue' of type: Byte[],the property Size has an invalid size: 0Also, if i try to add an integer value to the image/text/ntext like8000 or something less than that, it tells me that the result has to bediscarded because the current process has had some error.Can someone give me a suggestion on how to resolve this or an examplethat would illustrate the solution? Thank you all in advance.Pi.

Hi guys,I have been trying to write data from a database to XML files andalthough i have been successful in doing that, the file(s) that are madeare not of the form that I would want.I am using:SQLDataSet.WriteXml(strFileName, XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema);to generate the files where strFileName is the name of the file. Thefiles when viewed with XML Editor are seen as lines of data instead ofthe regularly generated XML where each row is one below the other. Whenviewed with WordPad/Notepad i see elements />< betweeen the dataand somehow I think this has to do something with the problem.Can someone help me with this?? Any help or suggestion would be greatlyappreciated.Thanks.*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

Hi
Coming straight to the problem -
I need to write text files of the size more than 1GB! First thought of doing this with BCP but then fetching data from stored proc was taking too long (more than one hour) and so BCP did not seem to be the right option as we have less flexiblity in terms - handling errors, knowing the status as to what point the writing has been complete etc. Most importantly getting such a huge amount of data did not seem to be a one time job! So I am now thinking about writing a CLR procedure which fetches smaller amount of data at a time and writing to file. Something like - open connection, get data, close connection, write to file and continue in cycles of this till whole file is written. Does this makes sense considering the amount of data to be fetched?
Any suggestion/comment on this will be much helpful!

Hi;Before I start let me say I know this is a silly way to go aboutthings, but it is one of those "my company made me do it" things.My company is in the process of ( finishing ) migrating from foxpro tosqlserver.They have a foxpro program that does a lot of various updates. Iwould like to write a tsql script to replace it.The trick is that the tsql script would have to have some proceduralprogramming artifacts that I don't think it has.I/my company would like the script to generate output messages thatthe user can see while the script is running. Everytime I have ran ascript in query analyzer I usually don't see the output ("print"statemetns, etc ) until all of the work isdone. Is there a way to run thing so I can see the output statementsas the work is being done?Can print statements work from within a tsql loop?The other thing is that I/my company wants the tsql script to writeoutput messages to a log file while it is operating ( for errorchecking and other logging).Is this possible with tsql?Thanks in advance for the infoSteve

I have a column named DATEID in a table DATA that contains the
following format connected to each other(date and name):
20071030Jones
20071020Smith
20070918Rogers
20080122Williams
etc..
What would the syntax be to insert a column to the right of this one,
and extract the first 8 digits from the data in the DATEID column and
insert that into the new column DATE, therefore making it easier for
me to query against an actual date?
Thanks

We have a package that is using a ForEach loop container to access files on a network drive. For some reason I am getting a message that the ForEach enumerator is empty and did not find any files that matched the pattern. For the pattern I left the default *.* for testing purposes. I have specified the file folder as \remoteserverfilesharesubfolder and also as \remoteserverc$filesharesubfolder and have gotten the same message. However when I map a network drive and set the file folder to the network drive it finds the files. Is this a permissions issue?
After I finish processing the file I want to move it to a new directory. Once this is deployed in production, the package will not be running under a domain account and probably won't have access to the network folder. Is there any way to specifiy in the connection manager itself that it should use a specific account to access the folder?
TIA,
Sabrina

Hello, historically it has been frowned upon to store textual data in sqlserver. In v6.5 and before, 2k pages were allocated regardless of actual data size. Is this still the case in v7.0? I have a situation where the intranet application wants to store documents/images/etc. Currently, we need to have security granted to each user who connects to the web server to allow them to write files. However, if we write the data via sqlserver, then the application only needs permission. Is this the recommended method? What other options can I use? tia, Lee

I am changing this whole architecture and going to using Azure Blob storage. I am stuck right now. I need to extract these html strings and save them into separate files in year/month/day/filename.html format. I have another column in the table which has create date saved in it.
I am planning to import all these files into BLOB storage and save link in the table.
1) How can i extract these strings from the table and save them in the year/month/day/filename.html directory/sub-directory format
2) How to import these files into BLOB storage.

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.
