Hi all SSIS experts,
I have a task to read certain columns from the db, convert it into a tab delimted text file and post it in an FTP site.
Please suggest on the steps to accomplish this.
Is SSIS the best way?
Can the same task be accomplished using only sql code.

Hi. I am currently building a blog application, and I need some advice... I have the post title, post date, post by, etc stored in a database table, however I was wondering whether I should store the actual post content in the database as well or in a text file. For example, if the posts get really long would it slow down database performance or would there not be much of a difference? Furthermore, if I wanted to keep the posts private, a text file would not be ideal as it can be accessed easily by surfers... What do you recommend?Thanks a lot

I am looking for sql code/approach to export a text file and 2 excel works sheets(from an excel workbook) in a folder, to 3 different tables in sql server, perform data scrubbing and then export the data from all 3 tables to 3 different excel sheets and post them in 3 different web parts in a share point site.
Mainly sql code(or any code that i can integrate with SQL Server) to post files to different web parts in a share point site is what i am looking for.
Any sort of pointers/suggestions would be really helpful.

Lets say I use the 'enabling roles' for my ASP 2.0 site. This creates a ASPNETDB.DBF SQL Express file.
Later I go to post this to a real web server - which runs the 'full' MS SQL2005 server. What happens to the ASPNETDB.MDF file (or for that matter, any other MDF file I create with SQL Express) when it leaves the Express world and enters the Real world.

Hi,
I want to implement site search in my application, I got the solution of searching the static content, but most of the pages in my application is content based(content is coming from database at runtime), so those content I am not able to search from database.
While searching about the same, I got information about Full Text search (FT) in SQL Server 2005, but whether it will work in SQL Server 2005 Express or not?
I didnt get exact steps to implement FT on my database so far....
Any help?
Is there a fairly quick and dirty way to shrink the file size allowedfor a DB on SQL server after the DB is in use?Our old DBA allowed 3 gb for log files and we don't need nearly thatmuch. However, the space is still being used and reserved. Can Ishrink that "maximum" and clear up the space?I don't want to just copy all the tables and primary keys and open anew one with the new data, though that is plan A right now.I cant just change sysfiles, it yells at me.

The purpose is to se history of which user updated, inserted or deleted a row in the database.
Can't seem to find any publications from microsoft on how to parse and interpret the log file.
Any documentation on how the log file is structured?
Is it possible to obtain this information through the system views
I don't want to use triggers.

My Original Post
I have to query n table(NLRImports) using the Distinct keyword, to retrieve a set of ID numbers. ( "Select DISTINCT id_nbr from NLRImport" ).
Now i want to use those values i retrieved, to process the records in the table(NLRImports) 1 by 1. How do i use those ID no's i retrieved as Variables or parameters for my next query?? If this makes sense?
----------------------------------------------------------------
First, thanks for the response.... now here is what im trying to do.
I created a simple application in delphi to import information to a table in MSSql2005. This is some of the resulting columns...
date | id_nbr | account_nbr | sub_account_nbr | ... etc
-------------------------------------------------------------
Now there will be several entries with the same id no but on different dates, so i take it dates would rather be my pkey.
Then i need to take one person's entries(i work on id_nbr) and go thru all the entries taking the earliest date and comparing all the other entries for that person to the first date and select all the dates more than 19 days after the first date and less than 91 days from first date and place it in a new table.
I used cursor s and while loops to kind of get it going but i know that cursors are not really recommended use but the performance implications dont bother with this particular job.
What other ways should i be using to accomplish this?
thanks, i hope this is clear...
Hello,
We have some queries that are long and intensive. We have thought about running the queries and storing the data in a text file for lookup from our website.
Example: Our online store only displays items that are in stock so when a user selects a category a query runs and grabs only items that are in stock and then displays them. There could be thousands of items the query needs to sort through before displaying the items that are in stock. What if we ran this query once every hours an stored the results in a txt file? The asp page would then go to the text file to grab the results instead of having to run the query every time a user selects a category. Will this speed up the site by not having to query every time? Would this be a correct way to eliminate queries that run thousands of times a day?
thanks

Hi,
I am looking for a way to combine two text files into one file. I am thinking of using a batch file (DOS command ) to do it. Any suggestion please?
would you use sql server "full text search" feature as your site index? from some reason i can't make index server my site search catalog, and i wonder if the full text is the solution. i think that i wll have to you create new table called some thing like "site text" and i will need to write every text twice- one the the table (let's say "articles table") and one to the text. other wise- there is problems finding the right urlof the text, searching different tables with different columns name and so on...
so i thought create site search table, with the columns:
id, text, url
and to write every thing to this table.
but some how ot look the wrong way, that every forum post, every article, album picture or joke will insert twice to the sqr server...
what do you think?
Hi,
I want to create a text file and write to text it by calling its assembly from Stored Procedure. Full Detail is given below
I write a code in class to create a text file and write text in it.
1) I creat a class in Visual Basic.Net 2005, whose code is given below:
Imports System
Imports System.IO
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.Diagnostics
Public Class WLog
Public Shared Sub LogToTextFile(ByVal LogName As String, ByVal newMessage As String)
Dim w As StreamWriter = File.AppendText(LogName)
LogIt(newMessage, w)
w.Close()
End Sub
Public Shared Sub LogIt(ByVal logMessage As String, ByVal wr As StreamWriter)
wr.Write(ControlChars.CrLf & "Log Entry:")
wr.WriteLine("(0) {1}", DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString(), DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString())
wr.WriteLine(" :")
wr.WriteLine(" :{0}", logMessage)
wr.WriteLine("---------------------------")
wr.Flush()
End Sub
Public Shared Sub LotToEventLog(ByVal errorMessage As String)
Dim log As System.Diagnostics.EventLog = New System.Diagnostics.EventLog
log.Source = "My Application"
log.WriteEntry(errorMessage)
End Sub
End Class
2) Make & register its assembly, in SQL Server 2005.
3)Create Stored Procedure as given below:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.SP_LogTextFile
(
@LogName nvarchar(255), @NewMessage nvarchar(255)
)
AS EXTERNAL NAME
[asmLog].[WriteLog.WLog].[LogToTextFile]
4) When i execute this stored procedure as
Execute SP_LogTextFile 'C:Test.txt','Message1'
5) Then i got the following error
Msg 6522, Level 16, State 1, Procedure SP_LogTextFile, Line 0
A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user defined routine or aggregate 'SP_LogTextFile':
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:Test.txt' is denied.

Hey All,
Similar to a previous post (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=244646&SiteID=1), I am trying to import data into a SQL Table.
I am trying to program a small application that will import product data obtained through suppliers via CD-ROM. One supplier in particular uses Fixed width colums, and data looks like this:
Example of Data
0124015Apple Crate 32.12
0124016Bananna Box 12.56
0124017Mango Carton 15.98
0124018Seedless Watermelon 42.98
My Table would then have:
ProductID as int
Name as text
Cost as money
How would I go about extracting the data with an XML Format file? I am stumbling over how to tell it where to start picking up data for a specific column.
Is there any way that I could trim the Name column (i.e.: "Mango Carton " --> "Mango Carton")?
I don't know if it makes any difference, but I've been calling SQL from my code by doing this:
Code in C# Form
SqlConnection SqlConnection = new SqlConnection(global::SQLClients.Properties.Settings.Default.ClientPhonebookConnectionString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO PhonebookTable(Name, PhoneNumber) VALUES('" + txtName.Text.ToString() + "', '" + txtPhoneNumber.Text.ToString() + "')";
cmd.Connection = SqlConnection;
SqlConnection.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
SqlConnection.Close();
RefreshData();
I am running Visual Studio C# Express 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005.
Thanks for your time,
Hayden.
What is the easiest way to accomplish this task with SSIS?
Basically I have a stored procedure that unions multiple queries between databases. I need to be able to export this to a text file on a daily basis and add a total records: row to the end of the text file.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hello Experts,
I am createing one task (user control) in SSIS. I have property grid in my GUI and 2 buttons (OK & Cancle).
PropertyGrid has Properties like SourceConnection, OutputConnection etc....right now I am able to populate Connections in list box next to Source and Output Property.
Now my question to you guys is depending on Source Connection it should read that text file associated with connection manager. After validation it should pick header (first line of text file bases on record type) and write it into new file when task is executed. I have following code for your reference. Please let me know I am going in right direction or not..
What should go here ?
->Under Class A
public override DTSExecResult Execute(Connections connections, VariableDispenser variableDispenser, IDTSComponentEvents componentEvents, IDTSLogging log, object transaction)
{
//Some code to read file and write it into new file
return DTSExecResult.Success;
}
public const string Property_Task = "CustomErrorControl";
public const string Property_SourceConnection = "SourceConnection";
public void LoadFromXML(XmlElement node, IDTSInfoEvents infoEvents)
{
if (node.Name != Property_Task)
{
throw new Exception(String.Format("Invalid task element '{0}' in LoadFromXML.", node.Name));
}
else
{
try
{
_sourceConnectionId = node.Attributes.GetNamedItem(Property_SourceConnection).Value;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
infoEvents.FireError(0, "LoadFromXML", ex.Message, "", 0);
}
}
}
public void SaveToXML(XmlDocument doc, IDTSInfoEvents infoEvents)
{
try
{
// // Create Task Element
XmlElement taskElement = doc.CreateElement("", Property_Task, "");
doc.AppendChild(taskElement);
// // Save source FileConnection
XmlAttribute sourcefileAttribute = doc.CreateAttribute(Property_SourceConnection);
sourcefileAttribute.Value = _sourceConnectionId;
taskElement.Attributes.Append(sourcefileAttribute);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
infoEvents.FireError(0, "SaveXML", ex.Message, "", 0);
}
}
In UI Class there is OK Click event.
private void btnOK_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
_taskHost.Properties[CustomErrorControl.Property_SourceConnection].SetValue(_taskHost, propertyGrid1.Text);
btnOK.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex);

Can someone pls give me the detailed code to achieve this....really need this on urgent basis.......Thank You.
Is it possible to export a sql table to a text file without using DTS? And also can we put a header on it
Thanks
Can we insert a header if we export the sql table thru DTS or BCP
Thanks
how can we insert the header.
Here's my problem :
I have to export a table form SQL to a text file But I want to have a line "XXXXXXX" as the top most line of the text file.
Can this be achieved thru DTS or BCP
I would like to send the data content in a table to a text file. Is there a stored procedure command to do that? Any help would be greatly appreciate. Thanks in advance.

Hi folks
Any help on my request would greatly be appreciated. We are trying to maintain the growth of a particular table, by exporting and deleting data that is older then 90 days. Here are the 4 steps I need to do. I believe I know how to do 1 and 4;
1. Create a job that continously exports data that is older then 90 days to a text file
select *
from table A
WHERE (CREATED < DATEADD(DAY, - 90, GETDATE()))
(the column 'created' datatype is datetime and looks like this '3/5/2007 3:11:44 PM')
2. Have the job automatically name the exported file, the day it was exported (i.e. 07032007 (todays date))
3. Then zip that file (we're using 7-zip)
4. Then delete the data out of the table
delete
from table A
WHERE (CREATED < DATEADD(DAY, - 90, GETDATE()))
Im not a big scripter/coder, so I was wondering if there is anything I could do in SSIS. Im more familiar with DTS, so any kind of baby steps you could provide in SSIS, would go a long way.
Thank you so much.
