Output Of Xp_cmdshell

Nov 19, 2004

Hi,

Without using bcp or dts we want load

some data from file to table
----
create table #file
(a varchar(8000))

DECLARE @PATH_FILE VARCHAR (250)
DECLARE @SQL VARCHAR (400)

SET @PATH_FILE = '\Mypc mp$price.txt'
SET @sql = 'findstr /b /c:"Z" ' + RTRIM (@PATH_FILE)

insert into #file
exec xp_cmdshell @sql

select a from #file
--
Works fine if lenth of column in file <= 255 ,if lenth is >255
all data after postion 255 inserted into new row

Any way to insert all characters from one line into single row ?

Thank you
Alex

Output To File (not Using Xp_cmdshell)

Aug 13, 2007

Hi everyone -
I have a client who need to output some text from a stored procedure to a text file. The main problem is that it is a SOX system, so we can't use xp_cmdshell, and we can't create new tables. This rules out the following methods:
DTSrun
osql
bcp

I then thought well maybe we can convert the SP to a DTS package. Well that can't work because he stores the text to be output in a #temptable, and I couldn't get DTS to do data transformation on a temptable.

SQL Server 2000 SP4

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Reghardt

Number Of ROWS Of Output Of Aggregate Transformation Sometimes Doesn't Match The Output From T-SQL Query

Dec 25, 2006

While using Aggregate Transformation to group one column,the rows of output sometimes larger than the rows returned by a T-SQL statement via SSMS.

For example,the output of the Aggregate Transformation may be 960216 ,but the

'Select Count(Orderid) From ... Group By ***' T-SQL Statement returns 96018*.

I'm sure the Group By of the Aggregate Transformation is right!

But ,when I set the "keyscale" property of the transformation,the results match!

In my opinion,the "keyscale" property will jsut affects the performance of the transformaiton,but not the result of the transformation.

Thanks for your advice.

Transact SQL :: Generic Store Procedure Call Without Output Parameters But Catching Output

Sep 21, 2015

Inside some TSQL programmable object (a SP/or a query in Management Studio)I have a parameter containing the name of a StoreProcedure+The required Argument for these SP. (for example it's between the brackets [])

EX1 : @SPToCall : [sp_ChooseTypeOfResult 'Water type']
EX2 : @SPToCall : [sp_ChooseTypeOfXMLResult 'TABLE type', 'NODE XML']
EX3 : @SPToCall : [sp_GetSomeResult]

I can't change thoses SP, (and i don't have a nice output param to cach, as i would need to change the SP Definition)All these SP 'return' a 'select' of 1 record the same datatype ie: NVARCHAR. Unfortunately there is no output param (it would have been so easy otherwise. So I am working on something like this but I 'can't find anything working

DECLARE @myFinalVarFilledWithCachedOutput
NVARCHAR(MAX);
DECLARE @SPToCall NVARCHAR(MAX) = N'sp_ChooseTypeOfXMLResult
''TABLE type'', ''NODE XML'';'
DECLARE @paramsDefintion = N'@CatchedOutput NVARCHAR(MAX) OUTPUT'

[code]...

Output And Error Output Write The Same Table At The Same Time, Stall The Process.

Aug 30, 2006

Hi

I have Lookup task to determine if source data should be updated to or insert to the customer table. After Lookup task, the Error Output pipeline will redirect to insert new data to the table and the Output pipeline will update customer table. But these two tasks will be processing at the same time which causes stall on the process. Never end.....

The job is similiart to what Slow Changing Dimention does but it won't update the table at the same time.

What can I do to avoid such situation?

Thanks in advance,

JD

Using Output From A Stored Procedure As An Output Column In The OLE DB Command Transformation

Dec 8, 2006

I am working on an OLAP modeled database.

I have a Lookup Transformation that matches the natural key of a dimension member and returns the dimension key for that member (surrogate key pipeline stuff).

I am using an OLE DB Command as the Error flow of the Lookup Transformation to insert an "Inferred Member" (new row) into a dimension table if the Lookup fails.

The OLE DB Command calls a stored procedure (dbo.InsertNewDimensionMember) that inserts the new member and returns the key of the new member (using scope_identity) as an output.

What is the syntax in the SQL Command line of the OLE DB Command Transformation to set the output of the stored procedure as an Output Column?

I know that I can 1) add a second Lookup with "Enable memory restriction" on (no caching) in the Success data flow after the OLE DB Command, 2) find the newly inserted member, and 3) Union both Lookup results together, but this is a large dimension table (several million rows) and searching for the newly inserted dimension member seems excessive, especially since I have the ID I want returned as output from the stored procedure that inserted it.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Query Produces Jumbled Output / Output Not In Sequence

Jul 23, 2005

Hi!Server info -Win2K3 Server +SP1 with 1 GB Memory and 1.5 GB Virtual MemorySQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition + SP3 running on this.Required result -Create a SQL Script that will contain a set of create, update, insert& delete statements (about 17500 lines including blank lines) thatcan be run on different databases seperatelyHow we do this -We have a SP - that creates a temporary table and then calls anotherSP that actually populates the temporary table created by the first SP*Samples of both SPs are below -PROBLEMThe result is directed to a file -However when the query is run it runs through the entire script but'Jumbles' the outputRunning the same scripts on a copy of the database on other machineswork fine and the size of the outfiles is exactly the sameI have increased the page size to 2.5 GB and restarted the server.Running the sp now generated the correct output a few times but gotjumbled as before after a few more users logged in and activity on theserver increased.Another interesting point is that the output is jumbled exactly thesame way each time. It seems the sql executes correctly and writesthe output in chunks only writting the chunks out of sequence - butin the same sequence each time.e.g. of expected resultInsert into Table1Values x, y, z,

PrimeOutput : Difference Between 'Output' And 'output Buffer'

Aug 12, 2005

When overriding the PrimeOutput method in a custom component, you get as parameters the outputIDs and the output buffers (of type PipelineBuffer). using the outputIDs you can get IDTSOutput90 outputs.

DTS & Xp_cmdshell

May 15, 2001

Hello,

I am trying to create a directory containing the date and then copy all the files in the current directory to it.

If I run the T-SQL script found below within Query Analyser it works fine (directory is created and files are copied in to it).

But if I run it as SQL task within DTS, only the directory is created. The files are not copied in to it!?!

I thought it maybe a permissions problem, but the SQL Server/Agent account is a local administrator and has sysadmin role with SQL Server.

I would be grateful of any assistance in this problem.

Thanks in advance,
Chris.

SQL:

declare @directoryname varchar(200)
declare @doscmd varchar(255)

select @directoryname = 'e:Audit_table_archive' + rtrim(cast(day(getdate())as char)) + rtrim(cast(month(getdate())as char)) + rtrim(cast(year(getdate())as char))

select @doscmd = 'mkdir ' + @directoryname

exec master..xp_cmdshell @doscmd

select @doscmd = 'copy e:Audit_table_archive*.* e:Audit_table_archive' + rtrim(cast(day(getdate())as char)) + rtrim(cast(month(getdate())as char)) + rtrim(cast(year(getdate())as char)) + '*.*'

exec master..xp_cmdshell @doscmd

Ftp Through Xp_cmdshell Help?

Jul 9, 2001

does anyone know how to execute a FTP command through sql server 7? I am creation a table and need to ftp the result set. I have it currently creation the table, turning it into a CSV txt file and placing it in a directory. I have to then manually ftp the txt file. I want to automate this process but I cant get the FTP command to execute throught the xp_cmdshell. It will work at the DOS prompt though so I know the syntax is correct. Any sugetsions would be appreciated.
