Hi, there,
In Unix, there is dump utility "dd" which can dump unformated text file into a fixed length text file, which, in tern, can read into Access database. I don`t know if SQL Server has a similar functionality. Does the "bcp" command work
in a simialr way? Is any successful experience can be shared?
Thanks in advance.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi All,
i am using a OLE DB Source in my dataflow component and want to select rows from the source based on the Name I enter during execution time. I have created two variables,
enterName - String packageLevel (will store the name I enter)
myVar - String packageLevel. (to store the query)
I am assigning this query to the myVar variable, "Select * from db.Users where (UsrName = " + @[User::enterName] + " )"
Now in the OLE Db source, I have selected as Sql Command from Variable, and I am getting the variable, enterName,. I select that and when I click on OK am getting this error.
Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Source [1]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E0C.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E0C Description: "Command text was not set for the command object.".
Can Someone guide me whr am going wrong?
myVar variable, i have set the ExecuteAsExpression Property to true too.
Please let me know where am going wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Do somebody know how long (in chars) script(command) can be solved by SQL Command?

For example, if it is Oracle, the following works.

I want to import a huge .csv file in my sql server database.
There are about 10000 rows and 30 columns
My file looks like this:
Attributname1; Attributname2; Attributname3; ...
data; data; data;...
data; data; data;...
data; data; data;...
Now my idea is to do this on the command line/batch script. I have found different ways to do this job but the problem is i have to create a table in the database first. The entries in the first line of the csv file are the attribute names.
After creating the table with attributes i must write the data in the database.
Hello,I would like to know whether it is possible to execute DTS(Data Transformation Services) packages created from withinthe EM (Enterprise Manager) user interface, from the commandline. That is, is it possible to execute a command at the DOSprompt which will execute, and optionally also reconfigure,the DTS package? This would allow invoking DTS packagesfrom within scripts.Thank you for your replies,Neil

Thank you.
I need to verify a csv file exists before I call a stored procedure to complete a bulk insert. The first step in the SP will be to verify the file exists (that particular "Job" step did not fail). I have only one step in the job that I have set the type as "Operating System (CmdExec)" and the Command is "Dir C:NAFCDMDataShipmentsCooperShipments.csv". When I execute the job manually to verify the proper operation I receive the error listed below. I know the path and file name are correct as I originally typed in the UNC, when it failed I copied it from the Address bar. I attempted to move the file to the root location without success. I attempted to use another file. I have attempted to rename the file. The DBAs will not allow me to use the SP_cmdshell stored procedure (that was my first thought).
I added 'Everyone' with Full Access to the root folder and propagated these permissions to all containing folders. This again did not allow the job to run. I changed the statment to "REN C:NAFCDMShipmentsShipment.csv Shipment1.csv". I continue to get the same error. Can someone Please point me in a direction to fix this problem?
"The process could not be created for step 1 of job 0x71D51027F920A140A2913234DB7FF509
(reason: The system cannot find the file specified). The step failed.
The job failed. The Job was invoked by User sa. The last step to run was step 1 (Verify the File's Existance)."

Can we PIVOT on more than 1 column in SQL SERVER 2005? For eg,
I have this select using Pivot, but I need to pivot on a second column too. I need to see a fourth column, in the output, that will be the TOTAL across for each requesters.
How can I do that.

Hi, there,
I am creating a job, which will run a DTS package (SQL 2000), Due to the way it set up, I need to pass the IP address as the server name,
for example, say the IP address is 64.84.50.11
User name is sa
password is webpass
package name is datadump1
I used the command
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'dtsrun /S64.84.50.11 /Usa /Pwebpass /Ndatadump1'
when I run it in query analyzer, it returns an error,
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '/'.
Is there anyone know what's wrong with my command?
Thank you very much
Could anyone help of how to cast the value in C# resulted from max() command. To complicate the matter, from the query result I see in the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, if there are records the value is number. But if there are no records, the value is NULL. How do I handle these two possible different conditions?
I have tried:
- string test = (string)reader["MaxOrderID"];
- int test = Convert.ToInt32((string)reader["MaxOrderID"]);
- string test = Convert.ToInt32(reader["MaxOrderID"]).ToString();
all failed. And what do I do if the value is NULL. And also how do I do to cope with these two different possible conditions?
For example, I have the following code:command.CommandText = "Select max(OrderID) as 'MaxOrderID' from [Order]";command.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
command.Connection = conn;
command.Connection.Open();
reader = command.ExecuteReader();
reader.Read();
??? orderID = ???reader["MaxOrderID"];

I'm wondering if there is any way for me to execute any type of command (delete, insert, create, alter, etc) on management studio without having to wait the server answer.

write a backup to local disk and then run a command to send the file to the TSM Server.This is the command I use at a Command Prompt to do an TSM incremental backup.
Command for an incremental backup of drive letter h:
C:Program FilesTivoliTSMaclientdsmc incremental h:
Command for an incremental backup of a mount point:
C:Program FilesTivoliTSMaclientdsmc incremental -domain="E:Backup"
I would like to be able to run this as the last step in my backup processes. This would allow me to send my local backup file to the TSM server to write to tape.
I am looking for either a CMDEXEC Expert that could show me the syntax to run these commands via a direct command or a batch job. The other option would be to run these commands via the Powershell type.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAnyway I want to know if there is a way to get SQL Server to release a lock without using the kill command. My reason for asking is because this morning I was investigating some deadlocks and thought it would be nice if SQL Server upon identifying a deadlock instead of killing the victim SPID would simply force the victim SPID to release the lock causing the deadlock so that the other SPID could continue and the victim would simply have to wait longer.That lead me to wonder if there was a T-SQL command or DBCC to force SQL Server to release a lock that I specify.
So, any way to get SQL Server to release a lock without using the kill command?
