I would like to look for .mdf i.e. databasename.mdf file and see if it exists. I would also like to do the same for other files such as databasename.ldf, etc.
For each one of these files I do know their directories but would like to know how to check for that file in those related directories.
Thanks
Dear all,
I am deploying programatically an Excel 2007 file to a SQL Server 2005 Reporting Server. The problem is that if a file with the same name already exists, that file isn't replaced. I would like the opposite to happen. I'm using the following code:

Greetings, I have just arrived back into the country (NZ) and back into ASP.NET.
I am having trouble with the following:An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file (file location).../Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
It has only begun since i decided i wanted to use IIS, I realise VWD comes with its own localhost, but since it is only temporary, i wanted a permanent shortcut on my desktop to link to my intranet page.
Anyone have any ideas why i am getting the above error? have searched many places on the internet and not getting any closer.
Cheers ~ J

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am going to use the BCP utility to export data from a table in a SQL Server 2000 database to .csv file, but I must determine if the file already exists. The BCP export code it going to be in a stored procedure and will be configured to run every two hours so I must have a way of checking if the file exists prior to executing the BCP instruction. If the file exists then no big deal just abort and two hours later it will try again, at some point the file will not exist and the export will export all the data since the last export - but normally this will happen every two hours; I just need to make sure that the "other peoples" utility has proccessed the file (and by definition deleted it).
It makes me no difference whether the best way to do this would be using a batch file that execute and returns true/false or a VBScript or if there really is a way to do it in TSQL. I just cannot seem to find any way.
I know allot of folks are having this problem and I tried lots of things but nothing works. I understand the problem is coping the SQL Express on another server is the problem - I just not sure what to do?
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.42; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.42

I checked my server forum and they said I had to name a database:
Example: Database=(unique name);
But this didn't work either.
I just tried a simple web project that has only one database and one table in SQL Express with one sqldatasource and one datagrid. It works fine on my pc but when I use the copy function in Visio Studio 2005 Pro - I can't run the site on the remote server: www.myjewelrydirect.com
I tried coping the database manually. I tried disconnecting the database before I copy it. Below is my connection statement:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="TestDB" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|TestDatabase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
With all the comments in these forums - this must be a bug.
I have been working on this problem for over 2 weeks - HELP!
Hello World,
I'm new to SSIS and would like a little assistance getting started, if possible...
Here is what I want to do:
Check if file exist (C:DTS UpgradeFilexxx.txt) --->
Archive file (C:DTS UpgradeArchive) --->
Check if file has data (true or false)
AND/OR
If there are any good website that have good direction, let me know
Thanks in advance for your help!!!
Is there is a piece for code ot sample code that can let me check if a file exists? Has any one done this before?
Thanks
Greetings all.
How can I check for file exitence in a specified folder using TSQL?
I can think of a couple of ways to do this so any feedback would be appreciated.
Load the contents of a folder in to a temporay table and check the table for file name. I can do this with something like:
insert into myFiles
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'dir /B /OND filePath*.txt'
Or maybe use OLE Automation Sproc? But I am not sure which method I should use.
Please advise.
Hi, I'm importing 10 csv files with a different name daily. If the file does not exists in a directory (which I have in variable) I want to write an error message, if it does I want to proceed to the for each loop. How do I do this? Any suggestions?
Hi, can someone tell me how to check if a file exists. If it exists then i want to continue with the process and if it fails then send a mail to me.
Thanks in advane.
In SSIS, I need an easy way to see if a file exists, and if not wait for it until a timeout period expires. Here are the options I've discovered, along with the issues I've had:
a) The File Watcher task from www.sqlis.com
This was my first attempt. The task works great, BUT only detects when there is a change on the file. If the file already exists, it keeps waiting which is not the behavior I need.
b) The WMI Event Task
There is very sparce documentation on this event and how to write a WQL query. There are numerous examples of monitoring a folder and if any files appear, cause an event to happen. I need to detect for a specific file. I found maybe one example of this using "PartComponent" but wasn't able to get the sytax right to make it work for me. I also need to access a remote file share using a UNC path (e.g. \servernamepathfile.txt) which I could not get to work.
c) Script Task using the File.Exists() method
I imported the System.IO namespace, and used a File.Exists(\servernamepathfile.txt) with actual success, but am not sure of the best way to continue to wait if the file is not found immediately. I also want to modularize this approach so I can wait for several files simultaneously so was thinking of implementing this script task as a package by itself to accept variables (filepath & timeout period) but need to know if anyone has had success with this approach.
I'm open to suggestions or ways to get options a) and b) to work for my needs.
Thanks!

Hello,Using Enterprise Manager, I deleted from my database the only tablethat contained records (Right-Click on Table, Choose "Delete Table").My expectation was that the LARGE .mdf file would be reduced to minimalsize (at least as small as the Northwind MDF). However, it's still 4+Gig in size!! (Northwind is 2.62 MB). This is a problem, bc I deletedthe table in order to recapture hard drive space.NOTE: I already tried using Shrink Database in EM. This significantlyreduced the size of the .mdf file from its original (i.e. pre-delete)size of 38 Gig to present size of 4 Gig.What can I do to further reduce the size of the MDF file?Thank you.

I want execute my package when a set of files exists in a
directory. What is the best way of doing this?
I have been successful in creating a WMI Event Watcher Task
that executes when any file (the first file) is added to a directory. But
I can not figure out the WQL for a specific file or set files.
What have you done with in SSIS to trigger the package?

Hi,
Here is the steps I should take...
1- Check for the log table and find run status ( there is a date field which tells the day run)
2- Lets say last day was 2008-05-15, So I have to check A1.DDDDMMYYY file exists in the folder for each
day like A1.20080516,A1.20080517 and A1.20060518 ( until today)
3- if A1.20080516 text file exist then I have to move it to the table and same thing for other dates
like if A1.20080517 exists I have to load it to table and so on
it looks like for each loop, first I have to get the last date and then I have to check the file exists for each date and
if the date file exists then I have to load it into table...
Please tell me How can I do it. it looks complex looping...
thanks,
J
Hi,
I need to check if a file exists (using a filename pattern as the filename will be dynamic) in a directory.
I am trying to use the File.Exists() method in a Script Task. However, it does not allow me to do something like -
File.Exists("C:Files*.xls")
Or
File.Exists("C:Filesabc*.xls")
Any help on this?
Thanks in advance.

Usual way to check if file exists
DECLARE @File_Exists INT
EXEC Master.dbo.xp_fileexist 'serverBSQL_Backupfile.bak', @File_Exists OUT
print @File_Exists
1
And if check folder, can use "nul", but it doesn't work for UNC path
DECLARE @File_Exists INT
EXEC Master.dbo.xp_fileexist 'serverBSQL_Backup
ul', @File_Exists OUT
print @File_Exists
0
If use xp_subdirs like:
EXEC master.dbo.xp_subdirs 'serverBSQL_Backups'
If the folder doesn't exists,
Msg 22006, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
xp_subdirs could not access 'ServerBSQL_Backups*.*': FindFirstFile() returned error 67, 'The network name cannot be found.'

I want to poll an ftp site to see when files arrive, then I would like to download them, and move them into a different directory on the ftp site. It seems like I would have to do a lot to work around the limitations of the FTP Task. Is it capable of this sort of work? If not is there a 3rd party task that is better suited for ftp operations within SSIS?

I have been playing with a Standard Version of VS 2005 and SSE 2005 and I just cannot get these two to interact together well. I am sure it is a noob problem but I have seen this error addressed on this forum and I am just not getting it. Here is exactly what I am doing.
I want to create a database within SSE using the Management Studio. Then, I want to connect to it with VS2005. Both SSE and VS2005 are local. I just cant seem to get this to work.
I always seem to get this error "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataSecond.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."
One thing... I create the website with Location: HTTP. I don't even know anymore why I do this.. I think because I like to be able to pull up a browser and get to my app. Other than that I am doing nothing special. However, I get the above error when I hit F5 to run the app inside VS2005.
Is there someplace where a complete noob can find a thorough and simple covering of this? Again, I have read through some of the previous posts on this and I don't understand too many of them and it seems as if there are at least 13 causes of which I don't know which one I have. Help!

Hi,
This is on Sybase but I'm guessing that the same situation would happen on SQL Server. (Please confirm if you know).
I'm looking at these new databases and I'm seeing code similar to this all over the place:
if not exists (select 1 from dbo.t1 where f1 = @p1)
begin
select @errno = @errno | 1
end
There's a unique clustered in dex on t1.f1.
The execution plan shows this for this statement:
FROM TABLE
dbo.t1
EXISTS TABLE : nested iteration.
Table Scan.
Forward scan.
Positioning at start of table.
It's not using my index!!!!!
It seems to be the case with EXISTS statements. Can anybody confirm?
I also hinted to use the index but it still didn't use it.
If the existence check really doesn't use the index, what's a good code alternative to this check?
I did this and it's working great but I wonder if there's a better alternative. I don't really like doing the SET ROWCOUNT 1 and then SET ROWCOUNT 0 thing. SELECT TOP 1 won't work on Sybase, :-(.
SET ROWCOUNT 1
SELECT @cnt = (SELECT 1 FROM dbo.t1 (index ix01)
WHERE f1 = @p1
)
SET ROWCOUNT 0
Appreciate your help.

ok i have 2 tables---one table is name CourseInformation with a field named Instructor and the data in there looks like this 'John Doe'.
My other table Instructors has 3 fields InstructorName, LastName, FirstName.
I am grabbing the Instructor field from CourseInformation and breaking up the names and inserting them into my instructors table as follows..
Insert into Instructors(InstructorName, LastName, FirstName)
(Select Distinct
ltrim(SUBSTRING(Instructor,CHARINDEX(' ',Instructor)+1,len(Instructor)))+', '+
SUBSTRING(Instructor,1,CHARINDEX(' ',Instructor)-1),
ltrim(SUBSTRING(Instructor,CHARINDEX(' ',Instructor)+1,len(Instructor))) as LName,
SUBSTRING(Instructor,1,CHARINDEX(' ',Instructor)-1) as FNamefrom CourseInformation
where NOT EXISTS(Select * from instructors where LastName = LName and FirstName = FName)
AND Instructor is not null)
Only problem is, I cant get the where not exists clause to work right(of course that wont work what i have cuz the LName and FName columns dont exist, i just did that for demo purposes). I dont want duplicate instructors in there..how can i accomplish this..is there a better way to rewrite my query? Any help is appreciated.
HI All,Which is best among the two 1) NOT IN or 2) NOT EXISTS .If the query is Select col1 from tab1 where col2 NOT IN (Select col 3 from tab2 where cl3=0) OR Select col1 from tab1 where col2 NOT EXISTS (Select col 3 from tab2 where cl3=0)
