Denormalized Access Table To Normalized Database TableS
Apr 17, 2006
Hello,
I am pretty new to SSIS, so please excuse me if this is a trivial question.
I have a denormalized database table in an Access database that I need to import into several different tables in a SQL 2005 database. You can think of the Access table as a CustomerOrders table. For example customer related information (i.e. CustomerName, CustomerID, etc...) is repeated with each record in the Access table. When this data gets moved to the SQL 2005 database, I need to insert one record for each distinct CustomerName/Customer ID record into a Customers table. I then need to insert and link every "Order" record into an "Orders" table.
I am sure that this is probably a pretty common task, but I have not found any examples or articles explaining this particular situation. What ways can this be done?
I was thinking I need to loop through each DISTINCT Customer record in the Access (source) table and insert a Customer record into the destination database's Customer table. I would then need to iterate through each row of the Access (source) table and "Lookup" the appropriate CustomerID/Key Field and insert an "Order" record.
The Access table contains over 75,000 rows of data. I am looking for the most appropriate way of doing this with SSIS (so that I don't have to write a custom application to do this!). Any help, input, links, articles, etc. is appreciated!!
TIA
-Brian

I have a requirement to provide data in a denormalized form from normalized tables. Working in SSIS.
I have two tables: EmployeeCountry and Country.
EmployeeCountry
EmployeeId (PK)(FK)
CountryId(PK)(FK)
Country
CountryId (PK)
CountryName
There will only be a max of 3 Country entries for each Employee. So I want to select the EmployeeId and get the three CountryIds so it would look like this:
Employee
EmployeeId
CountryId1
CountryId2
CountryId3

Thanks for reading.
This is pretty long, hopefully it isn't rambling.
I'm building a system that imports data from several source, Excel files, text files, Access databases, etc. using DTS. The entire process revolved around MS SQL Server, by the way.
I figured I would create denormalized tables that mirror the Excel and flat files, for example, in structure, import data to those, clean up and remove duplicates there, then break those out into my normalized table structure later.
Now I've finished the importing part (though this is going to happen once a week) and I'm onto breaking up the denormalized tables.
I'm hesitating because I'm not sure I've made the best decisions in terms of process, etc.
I've decided to use cursors to loop over the denormalized tables and use batch insert statements to push data out to the appropriate tables.
Any comments? Suggestions? All is welcome.
I'm specifically interested in hearing back on the way I've set up the intermediate, denormalized tables and how I'm breaking them up using cursors (step 2 of the process below). Still, all comments are welcome. As are suggestions for further reading.
Thanks again...
simplified example
(my denormalized tables are 20 - 30 colums wide)
denormalized table:
===================
name, address, city, state, cellphone, homephone
normalized tables:
==================
tblPerson [PK_person, name, age, height, weight]
tblAddress [PK_address, FK_person, street, city, state, zip, addressType]
tblContact [PK_contact, FK_person, data, contactType]
I'm breaking up the denormalized tables like this (*UNTESTED*):
=================================================
DECLARE @vars.... (one for each column in my normalized table structure, matching size and type)
DECLARE myCursor CURSOR
FAST_FORWARD FOR
SELECT name, address, city, state, cellphone, homephone
FROM _DNT_myWideTable
INTO
WHILE @@Fetch_Status = 0
BEGIN
-- grab the next row from the wide table
FETCH NEXT FROM myCursor
INTO @name, @address, @city, @state, @cellphone, @homephone
-- create the person first and get the ID with @@IDENTITY
INSERT INTO tblPerson (name) VALUES (@name)
SET @personID = @@IDENTITY
-- use that ID to coordinate inserts across other tables
INSERT INTO tblAddress (FK_person, address, city, state, addressType)
VALUES(@person, @address, @city, @state, 'HOME')
INSERT INTO tblContact (FK_person, data, contactType)
VALUES(@person, @cellphone, 'CELLPHONE')
INSERT INTO tblContact (FK_person, data, contactType)
VALUES(@person, @homephone, 'HOMEPHONE')
END

Hi there -
First of all I think of myself as a software developer and by no means a database expert. So I am posting a question here hoping that someone will lead me in the right direction.
I am somewhat following the database diagram from AdventureWorks with my own "normalized" database and have a question on how to update the table(s).
Here is my situation:
Table: Client
ClientID (PK)
Name
...
Table: Address
AddressID (PK)
AddressLine1
AddressLine2
City
...
Table: AddressType
AddressTypeID (PK)
Name
...
Table: ClientAddress
ClientID (PK1)
AddressID(PK2)
...
The tables should be referenced properly, etc... So my question is, when I add a new Client record, how and when do I update the Client table, Address table and ClientAddress table? If my PK on the Client and Address tables is an autoincriment, do I need it before I can update the ClientAddress table? If so, what do I have to look for, or how do I get the newly created ID to update the ClientAddress?
Is this making any sense? - I'm a little lost/confused. So if anyone can provide me links to where I can learn more about stuff like this and/or post some ideas/solutions, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if I am not clear on my issue, please ask and I will see if I can clarify it more.
Your help is appreciated in advance!

I normalized the below tables but I am finding it difficult to copy data to the new tables. Â How do I copy data from existing table to the normalized tables? see the table structure below and other supporting information:
SKU_DATA(SKU,SKU_Description,Department,Buyer) Note: this table already has data in it.
CREATE TABLE SKU_DATA (
SKU Â Â
  Integer NOT
NULL,
[code].....
The table structure above have two three determinants( SKU,SKU_Description and Buyer).  SKU and SKU_Description are candidate keys. Primary key is SKU.
Normalization : SKU_DATA(SKU,SKU_Description, Buyer)
 BUYER(Buyer,Department)

Dear Experts,When I use a single table I can easily use constraints to enforce mybusiness logic, but what do I do when I normalize a single table intomultiple tables.For example, imagine that my initial table has the columns ID, Name,Salary with the constraint that Salary is not NULL. Now imagine thatI break this into two tables, one with ID and Name and another with IDand Salary. I would like to have a constraint that prevents thecreation of a row with (ID,Name) in the first table unless acorresponding row in the second table is also created.I can enforce this logic with triggers, but it looks ugly and isfairly brittle. Is there a better way or is this the dark side ofnormalization?Thanks.

I have a de-normalized table that I need to export to XML using For XML, but put all of the related rows under the same node.The table is alot more complicated than the example below, but for proof of concept purposes, i'll keep it really simple:
Campaign, Price
C1, 4.00
C1, 6.00
C1, 10.00
C2, 1.00
C2, 13.00
C3, 20.00
If I have a table of campaigns and prices, I would like to output it as XML like the following:
<Campaign name="C1">
<Price value="4.00"></Price>
<Price value="6.00"></Price>
<Price value="10.00"></Price>
</Campaign>
<Campaign name="C2">
<Price value="1.00"></Price>
etc
The default behaviour gives me this:
<Campaign name="C1" price="4.00"/>
<Campaign name="C1" price="6.00"/>
<Campaign name="C1" price="10.00"/>
Is there an existing option that deals with this automatically, or do I essentially need to do a group by to output the campaign element, and then union an ungrouped select to output the price element?

Ok, I'm fairly new to .NET and even newer to the whole database concept. But, don't run away yet, I'm no idiot and I shouldn't have too hard of a time understanding your responses if you're kind of enough to give them. That being said, here's my dilemma:I'm trying to make a database of all the movies I own, the actors in them and the genre (s) they belong to. I have a set of tables that are in the 2NF (I think). I have a movies table, an actors table, a genres table, and two tables called movies_actors and movies_genres with primary-foreign key relationships to pull it all together (e.g. movie_id 1 has two entries in movies_genres, one for Action and one for Drama). My problem arises that when execute my monster query to pull ALL the data on one movie, I get a row returned for every combination of Genres and Actors in a movie. Example:movie_id movie_title comments actor_first actor_last genre_name1 Casino blah blah Robert DeNiro Action1 Casino blah blah Robert DeNiro Drama1 Casino blah blah Joe Pesci Action1 Casino blah blah Joe Pesci Drama And here's the query that produced that:1 SELECT movies.movie_title, movies.comments, actors.actor_first,
2 actors.actor_last, genres.genre_name
3 FROM movies INNER JOIN movies_actors ON movies.movie_id = movies_actors.movie_id
4 INNER JOIN actors ON movies_actors.actor_id = actors.actor_id
5 INNER JOIN movies_genres ON movies_genres.movie_id = movies.movie_id
6 INNER JOIN genres ON movies_genres.genre_id = genres.genre_id
So, I want to put all the actors for one movie into the same cell in the datagrid (same with the genres) and still keep it sortable by actor or genre. Is this possible with the .NET 2.0 datagrid? Do I have some fundamental misunderstanding of how my tables should be structured? Am I just really far off and acting like a n00b?

I inherited a table with this structure:
Value a Value b
x date a
x date b
x date c
y date d
z date e
z date e
z date f
Value a fields are one to many. The objective is to obtain the maximum date value for each unique a value.

Hello,I am currently working on a monthly load process with a datamart. Ioriginally designed the tables in a normalized fashion with the ideathat I would denormalize as needed once I got an idea of what theperformance was like. There were some performance problems, so thedecision was made to denormalize. Now the users are happy with thequery performance, but loading the tables is much more difficult.Specifically...There were two main tables, a header table and a line item table. Thesehave been combined into one table. For my loads I still receive them asseparate files though. The problem is that I might receive a line itemfor a header that began two months ago. When this happens I don't get aheader record in the current month's file - I just get the record inthe line items file. So now I have to join the header and line itemtables in my staging database to get the denormalized rows, but I alsomay have to get header information from my main denormalized table(~150 million rows). For simplicity I will only include the primarykeys and one other column to represent the rest of the row below. Thetables are actually very wide.Staging database:CREATE TABLE dbo.Claims (CLM_ID BIGINT NOT NULL,CLM_DATA VARCHAR(100) NULL )CREATE TABLE dbo.Claim_Lines (CLM_ID BIGINT NOT NULL,LN_NO SMALLINT NOT NULL,CLM_LN_DATA VARCHAR(100) NULL )Target database:CREATE TABLE dbo.Target (CLM_ID BIGINT NOT NULL,LN_NO SMALLINT NOT NULL,CLM_DATA VARCHAR(100) NULL,CLM_LN_DATA VARCHAR(100) NULL )I can either pull back all of the necessary header rows from the targettable to the claims table and then do one insert using a join betweenclaims and claim lines into the target table OR I can do one insertwith a join between claims and claim lines and then a second insertwith a join between claim lines and target for those lines that weren'talready added.Some things that I've tried:INSERT INTO Staging.dbo.Claims (CLM_ID, CLM_DATA)SELECT DISTINCT T.CLM_ID, T.CLM_DATAFROM Staging.dbo.Claim_Lines CLLEFT OUTER JOIN Staging.dbo.Claims C ON C.CLM_ID = CL.CLM_IDINNER JOIN Target.dbo.Target T ON T.CLM_ID = CL.CLM_IDWHERE C.CLM_ID IS NULLINSERT INTO Staging.dbo.Claims (CLM_ID, CLM_DATA)SELECT T.CLM_ID, T.CLM_DATAFROM Staging.dbo.Claim_Lines CLLEFT OUTER JOIN Staging.dbo.Claims C ON C.CLM_ID = CL.CLM_IDINNER JOIN Target.dbo.Target T ON T.CLM_ID = CL.CLM_IDWHERE C.CLM_ID IS NULLGROUP BY T.CLM_ID, T.CLM_DATAINSERT INTO Staging.dbo.Claims (CLM_ID, CLM_DATA)SELECT DISTINCT T.CLM_ID, T.CLM_DATAFROM Target.dbo.Target TINNER JOIN (SELECT CL.CLM_IDFROM Staging.dbo.Claim_Lines CLLEFT OUTER JOIN Staging.dbo.Claims C ON C.CLM_ID =CL.CLM_IDWHERE C.CLM_ID IS NULL) SQ ON SQ.CLM_ID = T.CLM_IDI've also used EXISTS and IN in various queries. No matter which methodI use, the query plans tend to want to do a clustered index scan on thetarget table (actually a partitioned view partitioned by year). Thenumber of headers that were in the target but not the header file thismonth was about 42K out of 1M.So.... any other ideas on how I can set up a query to get the distinctheaders from the denormalized table? Right now I'm considering usingworktables if I can't figure anything else out, but I don't know ifthat will really help me much either.I'm not looking for a definitive answer here, just some ideas that Ican try.Thanks,-Tom.

I'm working on a couple projects and I've recently been trying to make everything fully normalized so updates are easier and I'm just wondering if there's a standard way to query and update normalized tables.
For example:
If I have table People with columns ID, FirstName, LastName, Height, Weight, ShoeSize, I can normalize that into two tables. Table People has ID, FirstName and LastName. Table PeopleDetails has PeopleID (FK), Property and Value. That way i can add more properties later right at the presentation layer if I like. Essentially I moved the data from being horizontal to being vertical.
But doing a simple search for people means I have to search the details table and return a LOT more records (one each for Height, Weight and ShoeSize) not to mention any more details I might add later. With a lot of details, it seems like your performance would take a big hit and your code would get really complicated as your looping through a vertical dataset to find the properties you want. Or is there some other standard way of doing that?
I'm just hoping that someone else has solved these problems and there's a standard set of functions out there for selecting and updating this kind of DB structure. Anyone?

Hi. I have a project I need to complete and I really don't know the first step I should take. Basically, we have a case management system that is normalized for the most part except for one major flaw: the clients table. Whenever we add a new case, we have to add the customer's name/address/phone etc. all over again. I would like to redo this current setup so we have one table just for clients and another table just for cases, so we don't have all this double entering all the time. Is there an easy way to do this or could someone point me in the right direction? It's on a SQL Server 2000 database. Thanks for your help!

Access Connection
create a new Connection Manager by right-clicking in the Connection Managers section of the design area of the screen. Select New OLE DB Connection to bring up the Configure OLE DB Connection Manager dialog box. Click New to open the Connection Manager. In the Provider drop-down list, choose the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider and click OK.
Browse to the Access database file and connection set up---all good!!!
Dataflow task
Add an OLE DB Source component
Double-click the icon to open the OLE DB Source Editor. Set the OLE DB Connection Manager property to the Connection Manager that I created . Select Table from the Data Access Mode drop-down list.
I cannot see the tables set up as set up as pass-through table types to a Oracle 9i db
Any ideas please help
thanks in advance

I have a "source" table that is being populated by a DTS bulk importof a text file. I need to scrub the source table after the importstep by running appropriate stored proc(s) to copy the source data to2 normalized tables.

I developed a database with Access 2003 and everything was working good until my tech came in and reformated my hard drive and install a new Ghost image that met our company standards.
Now I cannot go in and make any changes to any of the tables, queries and forms. All of this started when a new Ghost image was installed on my pc.
The message I get when I try to open my database is "You do not have permission to run "tblSwitchboard." I get the same error message when I try to do anything at all on the database.
I am at a loss as to what to do. Please help.

Hi, I have developed a software which is to run on multiple PCs on a network sharing the same database on an inhouse server. There is another database which has some similar tables that sites on a server where the website is. I need to have the common tables synchronized. How is this possible and what issues will I have in doing this?
Well there be a problem if the synchronization happens when someone is using our software which is making some changes to that table at the same time? Or if someone on the website is entering some information that updates the database?
I am using Visual Studio 2005 with C#. Access Database.

hi there,
we can´t open most of the sql server tables from our Access
project any more, which has to be related to collation or
extended property problems.
trying to open any table will result in the information
"The stored procedure has been executed but did not return
any records" after the first try
and later on nothing will happen any more; tables won´t
open.
basically this started to happen after recreating the sql
database due to resolution 1 in Microsoft Knowledge Base
Article - 318989:
collation of the server is Latin1_General_CI_AS
collation of the old database was
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, which led to the error
described in the article.
collation of the new database is set to <Database
Standard>, now i have the problems described above.
anybody some good help on that?
ps: we can´t really rebuild the user database all the
time, because we got flight data in about 4 billion
records in there, so we will need anything quick and
easy...
thanks

Hey everyone. I've linke an access database and I am able to query the tables like so:
SELECT *
FROM QFinity...tblEmployees
I can do that to all the tables, however, I'd like to create a view to this linked database. Is this possible? I have a more complex query I'd like to run:
SELECT dbo_evaluations.eval_id, dbo_evaluations.quality_date, dbo_eval_questions.status
FROM QFinity...dbo_evaluations INNER JOIN dbo_eval_questions ON dbo_evaluations.eval_id = dbo_eval_questions.eval_id;
I get the error "Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name 'dbo_evaluations'."
I'm afraid I've reached the limit of my know how concerning sql server 2005... I think I read that I need to create a view? But I can't figure out how to do that.
Thanks for any help!

Is it possible to import an MS-Access database (or table) into a new SQL Server 2005 Express database? If so, how is it done?

My ERP system (SAP Business One) does not have a "payment type" field, instead it has a field for the amount of each type of payment. It makes for annoying reporting.
If I have the following data in the Incoming Payments table (ORCT)
DocEntryCashSumCreditSumCheckSumTrsfrSumDocTotal
0100000100
1010000100
2001000100
3000100100
What is an efficient SQL query to return something like this? (It is okay if the type returns an integer code instead of a string description):
DocEntryTypeTotal
0Cash100
1Credit100
2Check100
3Transfer100
I am currently using:
SELECTT0.DocEntry,
CASE
WHEN T0.CashSum <> 0 THEN 'Cash'
WHEN T0.CreditSum <> 0 THEN 'Credit'
WHEN T0.CheckSum <> 0 THEN 'Check'
WHEN T0.TrsfrSum <> 0 THEN 'Transfer'
END AS [Type],
CASE
WHEN T0.CashSum <> 0 THEN T0.CashSum
WHEN T0.CreditSum <> 0 THEN T0.CreditSum
WHEN T0.CheckSum <> 0 THEN T0.CheckSum
WHEN T0.TrsfrSum <> 0 THEN T0.TrsfrSum
END AS [Total]
FROMORCT T0
I think I've just been staring at this too long and wanted some fresh eyes to think outside of the box on this one.
I am using this to report on our customer's monthly statements so that I can display "12/13/06 Wire Transfer $100". There are many more complications to this query such as currencies and which document number or reference to display, but I have figured out most of those on my own.
Thank you,
Mike

I have just inherited a new project consisting of data imported into sql 2005 from a multi-dimensional database. After finding the correct ODBC and importing the data I believed that I was done, but after reviewing the resulting structure I discovered why this was called a €œmulti-dimensional€? database. The resulting imported data is completely de-normalized and resembles an excel spreadsheet more than a relational database. An example of this structure is the persons table. The table has multiple columns, some of which contain the multi-dimensional fields. These fields contain multiple values which are separated with a tilde, €œ~€?. I need to parse out the data and normalize it. In the specific sample of data below I attempting to take the personid, associates, and assocattrib and insert them into a sql table, associates. This table references the persons table where the personid and the associates references the personid in the persons table.
Code Snippet
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[persons](
[namepkey] [int] PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
[nameid] [varchar](6) NOT NULL,
[lastname] [varchar](41) NULL,
[firstname] [varchar](50) NULL,
[mname] [varchar](50) NULL,
[sex] [char](1) NULL,
[race] [varchar](55) NULL,
[dob] [varchar](10) NULL,
[address] [varchar](28) NULL,
[city] [varchar](32) NULL,
[state] [varchar](25) NULL,
[zip] [varchar](127) NULL,
[hphone] [varchar](10) NULL,
[busphone] [varchar](50) NULL,
[profession] [varchar](28) NULL,
[employer] [varchar](42) NULL,
[eyecolor] [varchar](23) NULL,
[build] [varchar](14) NULL,
[complexion] [varchar](26) NULL,
[haircolor] [varchar](26) NULL,
[dlnumber] [varchar](36) NULL,
[dlstate] [varchar](27) NULL,
[jacketnumber] [varchar](130) NULL,
[height] [varchar](4) NULL,
[weight] [varchar](50) NULL,
[ethnicity] [varchar](25) NULL,
)
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[associates](
[associd] [int] NOT NULL REFERENCES persons(personid),
[namepkey] [int] NOT NULL REFERENCES persons(personid),
[assocattribute] [varchar](20) NULL
)
The purpose of normalizing this data will be to show the realationship(s) between people as it has been documented in the previous data structure, i.e. person 1 is an associate of person 336 and the attribute is WIT.
My problem lies in attempting to parse out the associates and assocattrib columns and relate them to the appropriate personid. The personid relates to each associate and assocattrib and the tilde, ~, separates the values ordinal position which, in sql, would be separate rows. For example the single row:
personid associates assocattrib
58201 252427~252427~252427 VICT/SUSP~WIT~RP
Should be:
58201 252427 VICT/SUSP
58201 252427 WIT
58201 252427 RP
The imported data can have no associates:
personid associates assocattrib
152683 NULL NULL
or up to 69 associates, I am not even going to try to paste all of that here.
There are over 400,000 rows that I am looking at parsing, so any way of doing this in t-sql or the clr would be GREAT. This data is stored in SQL 2005 standard SP2. The specific machine is our test/reporting server, so I am not necessarily concerned with the best performing solution, I am leaning more towards providing some free time for me.
Any help or suggestions, including better ideas on the table structure, would be greatly appreciated.

I'm new to my company, although not new to SQL 2005 and I found something interesting. I don't have an ERD yet, and so I was asking a co-worker what table some data was in, they told me a table that is NOT in SQL Server 2005's list of tables, views or synonyms.
I thought that was strange, and so I searched over and over again and still I couldn't find it. Then I did a select statement the table that Access thinks exists and SQL Server does not show and to my shock, the select statement pulled in data!
So how did this happen? How can I find the object in SSMS folder listing of tables/views or whatever and what am I overlooking?
Thanks,
Keith

Does anybody know of a way to determine the last date/time a table has been accessed (query/update)? I've done enough research to know that this isn't easy. However, perhaps somebody has figured out a way through some of the stats that SQL Server keeps to determine the last access of a table. I have recently been put on a team that had no DBA and has a number of databases out there. They would like to determine which databases are inactive and get rid of them. I am a developer and haven't had much SQL Server Administration experience. Any info will help greatly! Thanks!

Hi there is there any way in tsql that I can tell when a database/table was last accessed? We have a lot of *** on our servers that need cleaning up.
If it is not possible could I put a trace on the servers that will tell me if any access has occured and run this for a couple of weeks for instance to see if any access has occured?
Thanks
Daz
