Simple Vb / Ssis Data Type Questions

Mar 27, 2007

I have a some raw data in a string that looks like



'1989'



I need that to become numeric 19.89



if I define a type double for rawAmount



and do this:



rawAmount = CInt(iRest.Substring(41, 4))

Row.amount2 = rawAmount / 100



where row.amount2 is a type double precision float from my script component task output, I get:



19.899999999999999



what output should i use in this data flow component to get 19.89.

COnverting Numeric Data Type (Oracle) To Date Data Type Using SSIS

Mar 7, 2007

We have some columns in a table where the date is stored as 19980101 (YYYYMMDD). The data type for this column is NUMBER(8) in Oracle.

I need to copy rows from Oracle to SQL Server using SSIS. I used the Data Conversion transformation editor to change it to DT_DATE, but the rows are not being inserted to the destination.

On Error, If I fail the component, then the error is :

There was an error with input column "ORDER_DATE_CONV" (1191) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (29). The column status returned was: "Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type.".

Newbie Questions About SSIS Script Components And Data Streams

May 10, 2007

The following is a list of questions that I have not been able to obtain concrete answers. I am probably missing something:
1) ReadWriteVariables -- can the updated value for a ReadWriteVariable be accessed within the same data flow? It appears not as I think the PostExecute() fires at the completion of the data flow not the end of the Script Component. Secondarily, the Script Component is a non-blocking transformation so the component does not "see" the end of the pipeline prior to sending data down stream.

2) Record Count -- Because of #1 above, How could you calculate a record count for a data stream? It does not appear that one can calculate the number of records for a data stream within a data flow and then access the count from within the same data flow.

3) FinishOutputs() -- Is the concept of FinishOutputs() applicable to Script Component Destinations? Asked another way, is FinishOutputs() executed at the end of the data stream regardless of whether there are "real" outputs for the component? I can create a "Dummy" output to create FinishOutputs() but is this ok?

4) Script Component -- It appears that the Script Component Source, Transformation or Destination are really defined based on the columns defined in "Inputs and Outputs". Can you convert an Source script component to a transformation script component by simply adding an Output?

Sorry for these basic questions but I am not getting it completely. As you can tell...

Simple SQL Questions

Oct 18, 2007

HELP PLEASE! 1) Is it true that INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE queries can be carried out on only ONE table at a time?2) I have a newly created database which is empty, and has four tables related with FK's. How can I begin to enter data, if i can only do an INSERT or UPDATE on one table.  When i do a SELECT query, i don't even get an empty results set to modify.  But i think that's an old fashion technique anyway. And if i can only INSERT VALUES into one table at a time, that violates the relational integrity.  PLEASE HELP!DanThe only thing I can think of is the de-enforce the Relationships Constraint... Then, one at a time, fill each table's 1st record with fictious data, and then enforce the Relationships again, hoping that the identity columns will match up.

2 Simple Questions ...

Aug 16, 2006

When I'm designing an Integration Services package, the drag and drop doesn't work. It did at one time but doesn't now. What did I change??? Driving me nuts!!!

Also, this is a simple package. I'm exporting 6 colums from a view (db --> csv). I only want the first initial from the middle name. What data flow transformation object do I use? I know it's not the data conversion because that concerns the column type.

Thanks

Simple Questions From MS Newbie

Jul 1, 2007

Dear Friends,

I am a PHP/Delphi MySQL programmer for some years, now I am going to create some code in MS SQL and VB. So I downloaded and registered MS SQL 2005 Server Express Edition and some tools like SQL Server Studio Management Express, and VB 2005 Express.

As I have some knowledge of MySQL design and programming, I have installed MS software, rather without problems. Then, using Studio Management I created new database, new table in it with some four fields (int, varchars and smallint). Then from the same tool I opened table and inserted some data, and closed this application.

Next I opened Visual Basic and in Database Explorer I set up connection to my SQL database indicating the file it is stored in (path*.mdf). I ordered not to copy data to new file but to use original one.

Then in Data Sources I created new data source based on previously set connection. In the end I dragged and dropped my table from Data Sources into my new Form of my new Windows Application, nice grid with panel appeared. So I ran the app, I tried to put some data and then after trying to save (using floppy disk icon on panel) i got error:
Update requires a valid UpdateCommand when passed DataRow collection with modified rows.
which appears in event handler for saving in line i've indicated.

Me.Validate()
Me.LudzieBindingSource.EndEdit()
Me.LudzieTableAdapter.Update(Me.TestDataSet.ludzie ) ' <-- here highlights


I tried then to add to ID field identity specification, nothing changed. Then in query editor of management console I put some code:
exec sp_configure 'user instances enabled', 1.
Reconfigure.

As some sources mentioned. I restarted Service. Nothing Changed. So this is my problem. What to change.

I use Win XP Pro SP2.

And next one question, even more important for me is the way I connect to database. I found that in Visual Basic Creating new connection in Database Explorer I indicate the file on my local drive!!! And for example if I try to open my table alongside in Management Studio Express and in my App in VB and the error raises
Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
Login failed for user 'FS7120Mm227'.
which is not a surprise for me as in VB i am using file which cannot be shared.

In MySQL I simply put address, port and so on and I could use my database in Delphi, PHP, and another management tools with no hassle. Is it possible in VB? Or it only can be used to exclusive using database?

Please inform me if such questions shall be directed to VB forum, I am not sure, and thank you for _any_ answer.

MS goes right way giving people great possibility to use and even sell small apps using their Express Editions of SQL and VB, but it is still too confusing for people who encouraged start using their apps and have such basic problems.

Few Simple (silly) Questions On SQL 2005 &&amp; CLR Integration.

Mar 2, 2007

Hi all,

I need few clarifications from you experts regarding SQL server 2005 & CLR integration ( my questions might be simple and silly, please bear with me).

A web service should be invoked from the SQL Server , Is CLR stored procedure only way to do that ?
Does SQL Server uses the CLR only when the CLR support is enabled ? OR SQL Server itself runs on top of the CLR no matter it is enabled or not ?
What are the major disadvantages of using CLR stored procedures instead of T-SQL?

Thanks in advance,

Convert Data Type In SSIS

Oct 1, 2007

Hi, all my friends,

This is another rookie one.

Is there a way in SSIS dev environment that will let you convert/cast data type at desing time?

Under data flow mappings, there are so many things you can do, but why I did not find any easy way to convert?

I got this validation warning about not supportng converting type DT_STR to DT_I4, or something related.

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks!

DTS Migration To SSIS - Oracle Unsupport Data Type

Mar 18, 2008



OK I migrated a DTS package from MS SQL 2000 to MS SQL 2005 64-bit SSIS. OK so I fixed a problem with a Double Global Variable... Now I am stuck at a connection to Oracle and it returning data... Here is the error message:

[Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "Remedy_Count": "Unsupported data type on result set binding 0.".

My SQL Statement is this:

SELECT COUNT(*) AS Expr1
FROM DB.MYTABLE

When I run it from the Query Builder it returned this:

EXPR1 = 2983

Here are some details from the General Page on the Execute SQL Task

ResultSet - Single row
ConnectionType - OLE DB
Connection - Oracle Provider for OLE DB
SQLSourceType - Direct input
BypassPrepare - True

In the Result Set I have The following:

Result Name - Variable Name
0 - Remedy_Count

So... what can I do to fix this. I have the Remedy_Count set as a:

EvaluateAsExpression - False
Value - 2414
ValueType - Double

I have tried setting the ValueType to Object and other things... Same error... I read some where about how SSIS has issues when Oracle returns a Numeric type data. Can someone help me with this? Anything you all can tell me would be great.

Consuming WCF Service With Complex Data Type In SSIS

Oct 9, 2007



Hi,

Need a guidance on consuming the WCF service with complex type in the SSIS package.
I have a WCF service with complex type inside the complex type (Nested complex type) in the web method as an argument. When I try to use this WCF service in the SSIS web service task, I get an error "The web method has unsupported arguments".

I am able to consume the WCF service with the web method having Complex type and simple/prmitive type in side that as argument.

For example:

The web method in WCF service which accepts the argument as comlex type say "Employee" whose structure is:

Employee
{
FName String;
LName String;
Age int
}

It is possible to consume this WCF service and pass the arguments.

But when the Employee complex type is changed to have one more complex type in side it it give the above mentioned error. The Employee type is modified as:

Employee
{
FName String;
LName String;
Age String
Type EmployeeType;
}


EmployeeType
{
type string;
}

Now I get the error Web Method has unsupported arguments.

Can this be done in SSIS?

Is Ssis The Only Technology That Can Read/write Raw Data Type Files?

Sep 21, 2007

I'm contemplating a sql server archive strategy that rolls really old data off any sort of dbms and onto low cost media like dvds in a non relational archive format. I dont want to ever worry about these archives spanning different versions of sql when i go to retrieve a range of data that happens to span sql versions (eg one disc was sourced from 2005 another by 2008 but my report needs a union of both).

So I'm thinking about neutral/efficient formats for these archives and a live homegrown catalog that can determine exactly what disc(s) need to be mounted based on passed from and to date parameters...all so that the data that might span discs (and versions and maybe even schemas) can be merged and loaded into my sql version d'jour's "throw away" archive database for a one time report or other unplanned activity.

I remember raw data types being very convenient as an ETL format for our customers who have ssis, but wouldn't want our sqlexpress customers to be left without the archiving capability. Do the "things" that read and write raw data files really originate in some special T-SQL command that all sql editions can use, or is it strictly an ssis thing?

SSIS And SQL Server Destination And Invalid Data For Type Numeric.

Oct 11, 2007

We have an SSIS package that reads in a tab delimited file and throughs the data into a SQL Server 2005 table. The package worked fine on the test files but when we recieved the production files we are getting the error message:

Invalid data for type "numeric".


Needless to say this is not very discriptive. I ran a trace on the DB durning the call and its doing a bulk insert

BULK INSERT [dbo].[FNIAllAppData]
FROM 'GlobalDTSQLIMPORT 00000000000015b800000000009fbd88'
WITH (DATAFILETYPE = 'DTS_Buffers', CODEPAGE = 'RAW', CHECK_CONSTRAINTS, TABLOCK)


When I changed the Data Flow Destination off to OLE DB Destination the error does not occure and all records are loaded successfully.

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks.

SSIS Flat File Loading - Data Type Conversion

Apr 24, 2007

It seems I can do the type conversion in two place:

1. The advanced editor for flat file source => Input and output roperties. And I can set the output columns data type properties there.

2. Using a Data conversion box in Data flow transformation.

Any difference between these two? Which one should be used?

SSIS Custom Data Flow Component - Variable Type Converter

Jun 27, 2007

Hi all,



I am creating a customer data flow component for SSIS for use in a package. I've got some custom properties that I am exposing using the supplied advanced editor (no custom property editor here).



Some of my properties are enumerated types, and I have deciphered how to get those properties to show as dropdown lists of their respective enumerations. (For those of you who may be looking as hard as I did as to how to accomplish this, see the end of this post.)



I also have a few properties which request SSIS package variable names - such as an file name variable. However, I can't figure out how to tell the advanced editor that the property is looking for an SSIS variable, so that it can show a dropdown list of package variables, much like virtually any other Microsoft supplied Data Flow component can.



Is there a Type Converter I could specify for those custom properties? Is there another way to instruct SSIS that my custom property is expecting a variable? Or do I need to code a custom UI for editing my Data Flow Task?



To create a dropdown list of values for a custom property that represents an enum, do the following:

1. Create your enum definition, such as "public enum ThisIsMyEnum { one, two }"

2. Create a new class that inherits from TypeConverter, such as "public class MyEnumConverter : TypeConverter"

3. Override "CanConvertFrom", and return true if "sourceType == typeof(string)"

4. Override "CanConvertTo", and return true if "destinationType == typeof(string)"

5. Override "ConvertFrom", and return the enum value (such as "one" or "two" in my example) that corresponds to the string passed in the parameter "value"

6. Override "ConvertTo", and return a string that corresponds to the enum value passed in the parameter "value"

7. Override "GetStandardValuesSupported" and return true

8. Override "GetStandarValuesExclusive" and return true to indicate that ONLY the enum values should be accepted

9. Override "GetStandardValues", and return a new StandardValuesCollection constructed with Enum.GetValues() of your enum, such as "return new StandardValuesCollection(Enum.GetValues(typeof(ThisIsMyEnum)));"

10. Just above your "public enum" declaration, add a "TypeConverter" attribute to link your type converter to your enum, such as "[TypeConverter(typeof(MyEnumConverter))]"

11. In "ProvideComponentProperties", after you've created your custom property like this: "IDTSCustomProperty90 propEnum = ComponentMetaData.CustomPropertyCollection.New()", add another line to specify the TypeConverter property of the property to the full assembly name of your type converter, like so: "propEnum.TypeConverter = typeof(MyEnumConverter).AssemblyQualifiedName;"
