I need to have an automated process to generate and send out csv data on a set schedule. Using the sp_send_dbmail routine is working great except for one small problem I am having trouble getting around.
I am specifying a query to be run and including the results as a file attachment. The customer wants a csv file with column names.
The attachment always includes a 'separator line' of dashes between the column header and the actual data. Is there any way to eliminate this line of dashes? When I use @query_result_header = 0 flag, it removes the line of dashes, but the column names are also removed as well.
I want to keep the column names, but just remove the line of dashes.
Hi,
for some AP issue, the file I upload must be without the line feed/carriage return in the last line.
for example:
original fixed-length file (exported from SSIS)
line NO DATA
1 AA123456 50 60
2 BB123456 30 40
3 CC123456 80 90
4 <-- with line feed/carriage return in the last line
The file format that AP request. The file only has 3 records, so it should end in the third line.
line NO DATA
1 AA123456 50 60
2 BB123456 30 40
3 CC123456 80 90
Should I use script component to do it ? I am new for VB . Anyone would help me ?
Thank you all.
Hi,
In 6.5 you could run a query and then make a flat file with whatever format
you wanted.
I cannot find that option in 7.0. Can someone please tell me where it is????
Thanks,

Hello, I'm pretty new to SSIS but so far what I have is a package that exports a SQL Server table to a text file. I needed to add a dynamic header that had the date and time of creation. Now I need to know how many records are being exported and put that number into the header.
For the header I am using a script task in the control flow which works well to put the creation date in the header. The script runs and writes the header and then the data flow exports and appends the records to the same text file. It seems to me since the script runs before the data flow I won't know the amount of records until after the data flow is done.
Maybe I could write the header after the data is gathered but before it is exported. Can anyone make some suggestions?
Basically the text file would be:
2/6/2008
154
Data
Data
Data
...
the 154 would be the total number of records to follow.
While I'm at it can someone tell me how to access the destination file path in the flat file connection? Right now I'm just hardcoding the path into my script.
Thanks,
Gunner
I am trying to create a SSIS package with a csv flat file for the both the destination and source. I cannot control the source file. I need to be able to handle an extra comma in the source file which occasionally contains suffixes i.e. {John, Smith, Jr,} which could cause some records to be 9 fields and others 10. Any ideas?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using the flat file connection manager. I read in a set of flat files and copy them into a staging database table. I want to ignore anything in the text file past column 266. I can't get this to work correctly. I can't define the last column to end at 266 and ignore the rest. I tried adding an extra column but that did not work either.

Hi,
I have a tab delimited file I need to transfer to a table using SSIS. Columns can have NULL value and there might be extra tabs in each row also. How can I do this? Maybe fuzzy lookup?
Thanks
I'm trying to create an output file in a specific layout. For some reason my output file is adding an extra 10 spaces between the Account Number and the Check Number in the statement below. The rest of the output file looks fine. Where the extra 10 spaces are coming from? I need 1 Filler Space between these fields.
SELECT DISTINCT
CASE p.PaymentMethodID WHEN 10 THEN 'I' WHEN 60 THEN 'V' WHEN 50 THEN 'S' ELSE 'I' END
+ CONVERT(CHAR(1), '')
+ (REPLICATE('0', 20 - LEN(ba.AccountNumber))+ CONVERT(CHAR(20), ba.AccountNumber))
+ CONVERT(CHAR(1), '')
+ (REPLICATE('0', 18 - LEN(p.CheckNumber)) + CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), p.CheckNumber))
[Code] .....
Hi All SSIS experts,
Happy 2008!!!!
I am inserting data into a tab delimted text file using SSIS package.
After data insetion some extra tabs get added between columns in some rows in the text file.
Can we programmatically delete the extra tabs from the text file, if so how to use/implement the code inside the SSIS package?
Any pointer/suggestions are welcome.

I am writing a string to a text file using the below code:
DECLARE @MyText nvarchar(500)
SET @MyText = 'type This is my text >> c:MyLog.txt'
exec master..xp_cmdshell @MyText
What I want to know is. how do I write multiple lines to MyLog.txt without having to call out xp_cmdshell each time I want a new line in my log? Do I use newline character in @MyText like SET @MyText = 'type This is my text line 1</n>This is line2 >> c:MyLog.txt'
Expected output:
type This is my text line 1
This is line2
Hello,
Does anyone know of a way to remove the first line of characters from a flat file?

I am trying to import a text file into my table.
However, the max varchar length is automatically set to 352.
It needs to be longer. Even after manually changing it, sure enough it truncates after 352.
(We put the first 16 characters into one field, and then try to get the next 800, but it only allows 352)
Any ideas?

I created a package that exports contents from a table to a flat file but all my records are being displayed in a single record. where do i configure it to where each record has its own line. the columns in the flat file are fixed.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have a series of fixed width files, all with the same schema. I need to import the data into a SQL Server table. Each record in the flat file begins with 'D1'. The length of each record (string) is 380. There are cases where the record ends after position 193, and a new record appears in the current string beginning at position 194. So at position 194 'D' appears, and '1' appears at position 195.
In the flat file, I need to insert a line break after position 193 if position 194 = 'D' and if position 195 = '1'. I'm guessing I would do this with a Script Component Transformation. Once the file is edited, then I can bring the data into the table.
What might the script look like? If you have any suggestions, samples, or know of examples on the web you can point me to, please share.
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
I have a flat file with several rows of entire type in one of the rows a string comes and when it goes away to guard in the BD it falls, since I can know in that this row of the flat file the string?????
Hello,
Using ADO to conect to a text format data file to gather data.
File is a .dat file, tab delimited, no header row.
Got all my ducks in a row:
1) Write a schema.ini
2) Make sure the extension is not excluded in the Jet Text registry key
3) Setup the connection properly (per MSDN Scripting help)
Works nicely, except the fist line of data is missing. File contains 78 rows of data, Jet is skipping the first line every time and reporting 77 rows.
Notes:
1) Adding a blank row, as suggested in this forum, is not an option - the data files are machine generated are not to be altered by other processes.
2) I could do it the old fashion way of importing and splitting into arrays, but this is a database function and ADO should be able to handle it.
Code samples:
Code Block
adoCON.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & sPath & ";Extended Properties=""text;HDR=NO;FMT=Delimited;"";"
On Error Resume Next
rsSrc.Open "Select * From " & sFile, adoCON, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic, adCmdText
sPath is a string containing the path, including the trailing
sFile is a string containing the file name.
Any ideas?
I have a flat file destination that Im sending data to, from an OLE DB data source. There are two records, but for some reason they are both going on the same line in the output. This is after setting the output to fixed width, from comma delimited.
Help ?
My Integration Services creates a flat file using OLE DB Source and then a Flat File Destination. The flat file is created from data from my data source with is just a table with many rows.
Each row in my flat file .txt is appended onto each other, there are no line returns after each record. How can I put in a return after each row in my flat file that is outputted from the Flat File Destination component in conjunction with the properties in my Flat File Connection Manager. What am I missing here in order to ensure each row from my table creates a carriage return in my .txt flat file?
Checkdb reported errors against 1 index on 1 table in a database. When I try and fix the index, I get the message 'SQL Server Assertion: File: <recbase.cpp>, line=1374 (s sqldmp file is created). When I tried dropping the index and recreating, this also caused the Failed Assertion message. At this point I could not select any records from the database or copy the database to another source. Everything I tried produced the same error message. I was able to rename the table and recreate the database from another server.
After rebooting the machine, I was able to add an index to the renamed table. I can't find any information to indicate what my problem might be.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour and if so what was the resolution?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,I have dumped a very large database from mysql (using mysqldump program)as a raw sql file. The reason was, convert this database to a MSSQLdatabase. Since mysqldump creates the file as raw sql file with thedatabase-table structures and the data in it, I thought using OSQL commandline utilities should work to out this whole database in MSSQL server.I have run this command from command line:osql -u sa -i mysqldump.sqlIt is going since yesterday. It has been almost 36 hours that it'sstarted. And in the mssql server, I see no database created yet. On thescreen of the command line, I see bunch of numbers are going in order. Iassume they are row numbers of the tables processed. But, if it is doing it,then where is it saving all this data ? I have checked the tempdb, pub db,other dbs, and I see no tables related to the database I am inserting. Willit populate it at the and of the job ? Or, am I doing something wrong here?Regards.Murtix.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a data file and the contents of it are as follows
2 -- This is the header indicating the no of records in my files
1001|s1
1006|s2
The content of format file is as follows. This is to skip first column of the all the rows and get only Subs (i.e s1 and s2 )
9.0
2
1 SQLCHAR 0 100 "|" 0 ID ""
2 SQLCHAR 0 100 "
" 1 Subs ""
Here is my query to get all the Subs from my data file
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET( BULK 'datafile.txt',
FORMATFILE = 'FormatFile.fmt',
FIRSTROW = 2 ) AS a
But this query retuns only s2 where i was expeting s1 and s2. The reason being is that the firts row i.e header doesn't follow the format
Can any one please let me know how to skip the first line in the data file and get the result as required

Anyone else seen this specific error message before:
quote:
SQL Server Assertion: File: <lckmgr.cpp>, line=10850 Failed Assertion = 'GetLocalLockPartition () == xactLockInfo->GetLocalLockPartition ()'. This error may be timing-related. If the error persists after rerunning the statement, use DBCC CHECKDB to check the database for structural integrity, or restart the server to ensure in-memory data structures are not corrupted.
google gets several hits for a different line number, and different type of lock.
Environment: SQL 2005 Sp2a (3042), 64bit, clustered.
We've had 3 of these Monday, in a 1h20min period. This first raised it's head last friday (3 on friday, 2 on Saturday).
All the same line number.
We failed over, ran DBCC Checkdb no_infomsgs - reported no problems.
restarted SQL on passive node (previously active node that had erported the assertion failures)
Then we had assertion failure on new active node.
ran DBCC CHECKDB , and it also report 0 errors, 0 consistency errors.
Today (Tuesday 26th june) we've had many of these failures - in excess of 20, this morning.
As yet, we can't detect any specific issues in terms of user impact/website. Our concern is whether we are going to have data inconsistencies at some point.... and that locking , if failing, may be causing inaccurate results (depending on the specific locks that fail) - for example stock levels, causing overselling.
We are getting above error message while running transactional replication between two servers. Both are running SP2 (7.00.842), so I don't think the earlier SPs fix this particular error. We do replicate text columns.
I went through the troubleshooting replication guide and now am receiving the following error instead:
The process could not execute 'sp_repldone/sp_replcounters' on 'servername'.
I figure we could re-install replication, but I don't see that realistic on-going resolution.
Has anyone run into this error?
Thanks in advance!

I am not sure if this has been asked before but I couldn't find any thread talking about this.
Let's say we have a parameter in the .sql input file called @Start_Date, how can we pass the value of a particular date, for example, "02-28-2007" to @Start_Date via SQLCMD? is it possible?
I'm trying to skip the need to write a simple windows application...if things can be achieved via dos command line, that will keep everything simple!
thanks! :)
My client will be receiving a .dbf file which needs to be uploadedinto a sql server database table (as an append) every week.
