How do I unzip a file osing SQL command
I have huge text files coming from the other end.But they are sending as .zip files and when unziped i find .dat.
Is there a way to set up such that my package can unzip those files and change .dat files to .txt and then start working with with those files.
Please let me know thanks
I am trying to unzip some files that I have ftp'ed into a local directory.
I use a foreach file container. Into this container I have placed an Execute Process Task. The EPT runs pkzipc with the following arguments set: -dir=current -extract.
The standard input variable is set to the output variable of the foreach loop.
When I run the package, a console window will open for what I assume is the PKZIP process, but there is nothing printed out in the console and the console won't close unless I force a timeout.
When I enable a timeout I get the following error:
SSIS package "Package.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC002914C at Execute Process Task, Execute Process Task: The process timed out.
Task failed: Execute Process Task
Warning: 0x80019002 at Foreach Loop Container 1: The Execution method succeeded, but the number of errors raised (1) reached the maximum allowed (1); resulting in failure. This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number specified in MaximumErrorCount. Change the MaximumErrorCount or fix the errors.
Warning: 0x80019002 at Package: The Execution method succeeded, but the number of errors raised (1) reached the maximum allowed (1); resulting in failure. This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number specified in MaximumErrorCount. Change the MaximumErrorCount or fix the errors.
SSIS package "Package.dtsx" finished: Failure.
So I have two questions:
1) Is this the best way to unzip files?
2) If it is, what am doing wrong?
Thanks

Hi
We are planning to setup log shipping model being setup between two sqlserver 2005 enterprise edition.
Our transaction log backup sizes are not consistent through out the day.The following is the scenario.
T1 at 8.00 -- 315MB
T2 at 8.30 -- 152MB
T3 at 9.00 -- 2.5GB
T4 at 10.00 -- 500MB
The bandwidth available is 25MB/minute. We are taking the backups of Tlogs at 30mins interval.Now at 'T3' log transfer we want to zip the file on the primary server,copy the file over the WAN and unzip it standby server.
Now i wanted to know whether to perform this kind of action(Zip,copy,unzip), can i create a separate job on primary ?? which will put the unzipped file on standby and allow the log shipping job to restore the log file (T3)
Also i wish to carry my T3,T4 etc backup -- copy-- restores through my Log shipping activity.
I cannot take 15mins backup on primary server to reduce the transaction log backup size.Thts another constraint i have.
Also tell me how to zip and unzip thru command line if u hve any link.
Please advice me
thnks for the help in advance

Is there a way to unzip files in a SQL Server 2005 SSIS package. I now I can do it using winzip and executing the procedure, master..xp_cmdshell, but that is not what I am preferring at the moment. Anything direction in this regards will be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have created a job that will execute a SSIS package which will unzip some zip files. For unzipping we are using WinZip. In the package I have used a .Net script task for unzipping. This script is using WZUNZIP. When I am executing the package directly it is unzipping all the zip files. But when I am executing the job that will execute the SSIS package for unzipping it is going on with the execution and not unzipping the zip files. So finally I stopped the job.
Can you please help me to resolve this issue?
HI All,
I have Uzip Files to be loaded From ftp.companyname.com, the zip files get updated everyday thus i have to load the newly added files, the Zip file has got 13 text Files within it, the issue is:
1. how do i load it for the new zip file only, the zip files are shown below, i am trying using FTP Task, but need more info.
2. How do i UnZip it and and take the text files and then load them to sql server 2005, each text file has to be loaded to sql server tables.
3. How do i automate it, i mean every time i run the package (on Job based) it has to look the new file only, see the zip file below to understand what i am saying about.
02/25/2008 09:02PM 2,780,729 CompanyName_2008-02-22.zip
02/27/2008 09:04PM 1,274,557 CompanyName_2008-02-23.zip
02/25/2008 08:57PM 1,383,112 CompanyName_2008-02-24.zip
02/26/2008 04:21PM 3,327,882 CompanyName_2008-02-25.zip
02/27/2008 08:44PM 3,623,334 CompanyName_2008-02-26.zip
02/28/2008 05:27PM 3,570,243 CompanyName_2008-02-27.zip
02/29/2008 04:20PM 3,444,375 CompanyName_2008-02-28.zip
03/01/2008 04:17PM 2,655,782 CompanyName_2008-02-29.zip
03/03/2008 04:09AM 1,179,338 CompanyName_2008-03-01.zip
03/03/2008 05:21PM 1,267,777 CompanyName_2008-03-02.zip
03/04/2008 04:49PM 3,238,121 CompanyName_2008-03-03.zip
As you can see the Zip file names are the blues color, they are added at different time, thus what i need is only the current Zip file (i mean i have to Load only the newly added Zip file (recent one)). Thus the SSIS Task has to go to this FTP server and look the newly added zip file. After that i have Unzip it b/se i have 13 text files there, and then Load them to Sql Server 2005.
Please get help on this, the deadline is near by time, if possible try as soon as possible, I would like to say Thank you for every help you do and try.
Thanks,

Hi. I am using SQL 7.0.
Here is the situation... there are random (.csv) files being dropped into a specific directory on a daily basis. Is it possible to have SQL server automatically pick up this file and run it through the Import/Export data option so that it creates a SQL table from the original data? I need this whole sequence to be automated. Is this possible? Somebody please help... I will appreciate it greatly. Thanks a lot!

I am trying to automate the installation process of our Help
Desk software `Expert Advisor`. It uses a MS SQL Server 6.5
database. I can figure out the automation of Expert Advisor,
but is it possible to automate the installation of the
SQL drivers for each workstation? I don`t want or need any of the
utilities such as ISQL/w installed along with the driver--just the
SQL driver itself. Is there a runtime version of the database I should
use? I`m fairly new to SQL so please forgive me if I seem naive.
Any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know what happened on that first thread, but here it is again.
Thanks for your help.
Hello,
I have set up a .bat file to automatically export all of my server logs to a directory on my SQL server. From there I am trying to import those files into an event_log table that I have set up. (from there I am going to use Cold Fusion to parse the table each day and e-mail me with anything I should look at) The estimated ROI for my company is roughly $14.5k, it's easy so if you don't already have an error log monitoring solution, check this out!
Anyway I tried to use BCP in my .bat file but it keeps coming back with an unexpected end of file error.
Can I get some help with either:
1. Find a command line tool to import these .txt files with
-or-
2. Help me with the BCP issue?
Thanks in advance.
I am an intern at a university and we are looking for a way to automatically document tables, queries, etc. ColdFusion is the platform used, and SQL Server 2000. Is there a way to have the documentation performed that will capture tables, constraints, etc.? I have found some, but so far, none are working. Please help if you can!!! :confused:
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have 2 databases, one called "ManagementDB" and the other called "ManagementDBYesterday".
Basically I get asked very frequently to look at yesterdays data for various reasons and I thought it'd be a good idea to always have yesterdays data to hand instead of restoring all the time.
I have tried DTS but this takes too long, I've also thought of replication however the database is modified too frequently for this to be easliy implemented.
Restoring from a backup is quite quick so I thought if I could somehow automate this, I'd have a readily available copy of yesterdays data to hand.
I have a mon-sun daily backup so I need to write some SQL script to restore from the correct backup to the "yesterday" database.
I've only used restore via the enterprise manager and I was wondering if anyone here could help.
kind regards,
Mike,
I have a customer who insists on emailing an excel spreadsheet to me to be uploaded to a sql database. I came across a script at one point that laid out how I would script this out. Basically it was in parts, 1. open email program and get attachment. 2.After saving attachment closing email program in order to be used the next day or next time an attachment was sent. 3. import the attached spreadsheet into SQL database. I would also like to be able to schedule this to run with the built in Windows 2000 scheduler.
Can anyone help me out on this one??
Thanks,
Will
Hi,
I'm working on a program that is some kind of organizer for all the tasks that employees have to carry out. A part of this program should check the deadline from the tasks, and send a mail if the deadline is in less than 5 days.
I'm using asp .net 2.0 & sql server 2000
Can anyone tell me how I can do that, or put me on track with some key words to google for?
thx.
Hi guys,
I'm pretty new in SQL Server and trying to build up a BI Solution for my firm. We have got monthly data about revenue headcounts and so, which should be integrated into a DW.
I was wondering whether there is an automated way to import this csv data in SQL like in a batch, because the users are not familiar with SQL Server at all. The structure of the data will be the same all the time, since it comes from legacy systems.
YOur help would be highly appriciated:)

Unfortunately don't I know, how I can adjust this or whether SQL code is needed and if, where?? I do not know myself unfortunately yet so well with the subject out, from therefore am grateful I for each assistance. Many greetings M-l-g
Hello,
I have a problem with an integration services project of SQL server 2005. I have a text file with various data, which can be read out easily with a dataflow task and a flat file source. The data shall be transferred into a target database which I developed according to a star pattern. The fact table can be generated automatically if and only if all data belonging to a dimension table is inserted by myself. Of course, this procedure is not reasonable while having a vast amount of data. That is the reason why I want to generate the dimension tables automatically, too. A dimension is build e.g. like this: ApplicationID | ApplicationName. So, only two columns are available. But I don't know how to insert an automated ID.
I would be thankful for any help.M-l-G
We have automated the process of backing up and restoring the databases. But the problem is One database is restoring from several hrs ..though it is supposed to take only a few mins. So there is some issue with it and I want to find out how I can stop the restoring process.
Its not a command am running in query analyser or Enterprise manager, but its automated so i cant see the command to stop it.
Any ideas?
