Updating Batch Record After Exporting Data
Aug 19, 2006
I created a package in SSIS to export data from mutiple SQL server tables to a single flat file. Once the export is completed i need to update 2 tables ( a batch table and a history table) In the batch table I need to insert a record with batch # (system generated),batch date, status( success/failed), record count( no of records in the flat file), batch filename). In the history table, i need to insert a record for each of the rows in the flat file with the foll info. batch number,datetime,status(success/failed)
My question is how do I get the batch status,record count, batchfilename for batch table update and how do i get to update the history table.
BTW, i am executing this package as a SQL Server Agent job.
I am new to Integration Services and feel lost.
Any help ?

I need to update one row in a SQL Server 6.5 DB from a row in SQL 2000 server DB. What would be the best way to do this?
I have my 2000 server defined as a Remote Server in 6.5, however I get the error message:
contains more than the maximum number of prefixes. The maximum is 2.

Hey guys, I periodically have to update maybe 300 records of the same column.. However, I've been udpating each record one by one.
Is there a way I can do something the following.ID Name1 john2 chris3 adam4 ben5 steveupdate table1 set name = name where id = ? but have it run through an entire set of these? Is there any way of automating that rather than having to update it manually? Do i need another table with just the id numbers and the column I want to change? or do i need a txt file?

Hi,
We're running a Sage CRM install with a SQL Server 2000 database at the back end. We're using the Sage web services API for updating data and a JDBC connection to retrieve data as it's so much quicker.
If I retrieve a record using the JDBC connection and then try and update the same record through the web services, the query times out as if the record is locked for updates. Has anyone experienced anything similar or know what I'm doing wrong? If I just use DriverManager.getConnection() to establish the connection instead of the datasource, and then continue with the same code I don't get these record locking problems. Please find more details below.
Thanks,
Sarah
The JDBC provider for the datasource is a WebSphere embedded ConnectJDBC for SQL Server DataSource, using an implementation type of 'connection pool datasource'. We are using a container managed J2C authentication alias for logging on.
This is running on a Websphere Application Server v6.1.
Code snippet - getting the record thru JDBC:
DataSource wsDataSource = serviceLocator.getDataSource("jdbc/dsSQLServer");
Connection wsCon = wsDataSource.getConnection();
// wsCon.setAutoCommit(false); //have tried with and without this flag - same results
Statements stmt = wsCon.createStatement();
String sql = "SELECT * FROM Person where personID = 12345";
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
if(rs.next()){
System.out.println(rs.getString("lastName"));
}
if (rs != null){
rs.close();
}
if (stmt != null) {
stmt.close();
}
if (wsCon != null) {
wsCon.close();
}

Hi all, I'm new to SQL and have been trying to update a record in a table, something I imagine would be quite simple. The record holds a INT value and I wish to test the value to see if it is greater than 70, if it is....reset the value to 1
I have tried various methods, aiming at using a stored procedure that will run once a day at midnight.
Any help would be great.

I am very new to SQL Server 2005. I have created a package to load data from a flat delimited file to a database table. The initial load has worked. However, in the future, I will have flat files used to update the table. Some of the records will need to be inserted and some will need to update existing rows. I am trying to do this from SSIS. However, I am very lost as to how to do this.
Any suggestions?

Hello, i currently have a gridview component displaying data from a SQLSERVER2005 database. I have created an 'edit' hyperlink on each record so that when pressed, the primary key of a record is sent in the querystring to another page when pressed. example http://localhost/Prog/EditAppointment.aspx?AppointmentId=1
In the edit page, i have dragged and dropped a sqldatasource that contains the select and update statements. i would now like to use textboxes and dropdowns to display the data for the particular record selected (in this case appointmentid=1). however i dont want to use a formview or automated component, just to drag and drop the textboxes myself. how do i bind the textboxes in the HTML code to the data from the select statement? My current select parameters look as follows.
<SelectParameters>
<asp:QueryStringParameter Name="AppointmentId" QueryStringField="AppointmentId" Type="Int32" />
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="Textbox1" Name="PatientNo" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" />
</SelectParameters>
Perhaps there is an error in my select parameters or does the problem lay elsewhere? Any help would be appreicated.
Thanks,
James.

The process of adding a column with DEFAULT (0) to a table that has 15million records takes a despicable amount of time (too much time) and the transaction log of the database grew to an unacceptable size. I would like to accomplish the same task using this procedure:
·Add the column to the table with null value.
·Loop through the table (500000 records at a time) and SET the value in the newly added column to 0.
·Issue a commit statement after each batch
·Issue a checkpoint statement after each batch.
·Alter the table and SET the column to NOT Null DEFAULT (0)
Here is my Sample script
ALTER TABLE EMPLOYEE ADD EZEVALUE NUMERIC (9,6) NULL
Go
Loop
UPDATE EMPLOYEE SET EZEVALUE = 0
Commit Tan
CHECKPOINT
END (Repeat the loop until the rows in EMPLOYEE have the value 0)
Go
ALTER TABLE EMPLOYEE ALTER COLUMN EZEVALUE NUMERIC (9,6) NOT NULL DEFAULT (0)
My problem is with the loop section of this script. How do I structure the loop section of this script to loop through the employee table and update the EZEVALUE column 500000 rows at a time, issue a Commit Tran and a CHECKPOINT statement until the whole table has been updated. Does anyone out there know how to accomplish this task? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I am using the following useful article regarding exporting a multi-record file:
http://vsteamsystemcentral.com/cs21/blogs/steve_fibich/archive/2007/09/25/multi-record-formated-flat-file-with-ssis.aspx
I have created the 2 datasources, ordering each on a field commmon to both.
I have created the two derived columns headers and am now moving on to the merge.
It is failing with the following error:
"the input is not sorted"
And whilst I definitely have an order by on the query, when I look at the metadata between the datasource and the derived column, the Sort Key Position items displays "0" for all my fields, I was expecting the sort field to have a "1" in this column. What am I missing?
Any help would be most appreciated!

Hi People,
hope someone can help me out here with a little problem.
Basically i've go a asp.net page which has a listbox on. This list box is populated from a SQL database table with the datetime of the a selected field. Thus in the list box you get a list of strings looking like this "24/09/07 12:58"
Also on the page is a submit button, and some other editing textboxes. The main issue here is the when the submit button is used i get the currently selected listbox timedate string and then pass this along with other items to update a record in the database based on the datetime in the listbox control.
Below is how i get the string from the listbox control
Dim except_time As DateTime
except_time = DropDownList1.SelectedValue
The expect_time is then passed to store procedure along with some other vars, which looks like this
-- =============================================-- Author: Lee Trueman-- Create date: 1st Sept 2007-- =============================================CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[spExcept_UpdateData] -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here @validated bit, @update_time datetime, @except_time datetimeASBEGIN -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from -- interfering with SELECT statements. SET NOCOUNT ON
-- Insert statements for procedure here UPDATE exceptions SET validated = @validated, update_time = @update_time WHERE (except_time = @except_time)END
So validated and update_time should be updated when except_time is equal to @except_time
My problem is that the database never updates. If i debug the asp.net page the watch var shows the datetime in US format (I.e "09/24/07 12:58"), if this is true then this would explain why when it is passed to the stored proc nothing gets updated, as there would not be a date match.
can anyone see any silly mistakes i'm doing here ????

Update CurrRank = ??? from tblAppKitOffers
where appkitid = 3 AND (OfferStatusCode = 'O' OR OfferStatusCODE = 'D')

Hi,
I am currently using VC++/Cli 2005. In a project, I'm using a DataGridView control to show records from a SQL Express 2005 table. Instead of updating a specific item directly within DataGridView control, I would like to open a new form and allow user to update selected record/item within that form. The reason to update this way is conditionned by the fact that I have 3 levels of detail as following:
Level 0 Level 1 Level 2
1:N 1:N
Furniture --> Component --> Component
You all understand that update form of Level1 will/must include, as Level0 do, another DataGridView control to display/detail all related items issued from next level. This explains why I can't allow user to update Level 1 directly from DataGridView control.
I've searched in MSDN and even bought a few books on subject but unfortunately I found nothing on how to do it this way. All articles on DataGridView control were only showing how to update record directly from control.
My approach, I think, would be to transmit to my level1 updating form, as a single parameter, the selected DataRow object (or a brand new one if currently adding) issued from DataGridView and let user update it's content. When User finally leaves level0 update form, then I presume that DataGridView corresponding table would be automatically updated according to DataGridView's content.
What would be the proper way to do it? I would certainly appreciate to hear you view on this.
Also, what can I do if I want to refresh DataGridView's content when coming back from update form. Is it done automatically? I would certainly be sure that it reflects the reality, not only when I update it myself but also especially when other users could concurrently update same records?
Thanks in advance,
Stéphane

Hi,
Inside a single transaction I'm inserting/updating multiple records into multiple tables, in this order:
table 1 record 1
table 2 record 1
table 3 record 1
table 1 record 2
table 2 record 1
table 1 record 3
table 2 record 3
table 3 record 3
Now I'm getting an unspecified error on a certain table:
Unspecified error [ 3,-1300704038,-1834095882,activitypointerBase,x lock (x blocks),PAG (idx): 1078 ]
From msdn I see that:
PAG (idx) means a lock on an index page.
x lock means an exclusive lock:
Indicates a data modification, such as an insert, an update, or a deletion. Ensures that multiple updates cannot be made to the same resource at the same time. (I assume that multiple updates within the SAME transaction can be made, only multiple updates from different transaction cannot be made, right?)
I cannot find any reference to this error message and don't know what the numbers mean. Maybe it relates to data that can be found in the sys.lock_information table like explained here, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172932.aspx, but I'm not sure.
Furthermore, the sys.lock_information table is empty. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem myself. I only received an error log and the database to investigate it.
So, does anybody have an idea what this error message means and what I can do to troubleshoot this?
Thanks,
Jeffry

How is this done?
So far I have had no luck getting the tasks to run. I need more than just simple queries.

DECLARE @RowCount INT
DECLARE @TableSchema NVARCHAR(128)
DECLARE @TableName NVARCHAR(128)
DECLARE @SqlCmd NVARCHAR(1024)
CREATE TABLE #temp ([Name] NVARCHAR(128), [RowCount] INT)
OPEN Tables
FETCH NEXT FROM Tables INTO @TableSchema, @TableName
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET @SqlCmd = 'SELECT ''[' + @TableSchema + '].[' + @TableName + ']'', COUNT(*) FROM [' + @TableSchema + '].[' + @TableName + ']'
PRINT @SqlCmd
INSERT #temp EXEC sp_executesql @SqlCmd
FETCH NEXT FROM Tables INTO @TableSchema, @TableName

I have a sql server 2008 backend with an Access 2007 frontend database. Each time I export a query I get the following error:
Code:
Microsoft Access was unable to append all the data to the table.
The contents of fields in 0 record(s) were deleted, and 1 record(s) were lost due to key violations.
*If data was deleted, the data you pasted or imported doesn't match the field data types or the FieldSize property in the destination table.
*If records were lost, either the records you pasted contain primary key values that already exist in the destination table, or they violate referential integrity rules for a relationship defined between tables. Do you want to proceed anyway?
I don't know what if anything is actually missing because of the amount of data is more thant 6000 records. It seems everything exported but I would have to comb through the data to be sure.

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to point data that underwent the "merge join" transformation (in one data flow) to the following data flow? I don't want to recreate all that merging, sorting and calling the same sources again in the following data flow if the data that I am using exists in the previous data flow. The merged data is simply too big to export to an excel file, so does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Hello, Everyone: Greetings!
I am new to Sql Server [Express version] and am not even sure I'm making the right choice. So here I am, seeking advice.
My database needs are nothing sophisticated. They just involve:
(a) create tens of thousands of separate data files each under a unique file name of up to 8 characters, with file names read in from a pre-determined file name list.
(b) store/insert VOLUMINOUS numerical data into each of the data files, with the data indexed by date&time, plus maybe one or two additional character or string fields.
(c) for each data file, retrieve a subset of its data, perform extensive numerical calculations, and then store the results in one or more separate corresponding files, e.g. if a file name in (b) is F12345, (c) creates F12345R1, F12345R2, F12345R3, etc. which stores different sets of calculated results.
Thus, this is purely a console application, doing a batch job, and requiring no graphical user interface. Both automation and speed are important here, due to the large number of data files that must be created and/or updated, and the very extensive numerical calculations on the data.
The goal is to automate the daily or weekly creation of each of the tens of thousands of Sql Server database files, insert fresh data (read in from a fresh ASCII file) into each file, numerically process the data and then store the results in one or more separate, corresponding result data files, with all the steps automated and without need for GUI. Once coding is done, the entire data processing session is expected to run for many hours, or even days, in an automated manner, and without human intervention.
What would be the most efficient way of doing this under Visual Basic Express (which is what I'm learning to use) by directly calling Sql Server Express without having to go through GUI to create database files? What is the proper interface utility or library to use to enable direct database function calls without the need to learn SQL language? Is Visual Basic and/or Sql Server even good choices for what I want to do? I want to be able to call the basic, simple database functions directly and simply from program code in a non-GUI, non-interactive manner for the tens of thousands of separate data files that will be used.
I really miss the good old days when one can do a straightforward batch job via a console application, with simple, direct calls to create new data files, insert and index fresh data, retrieve any subset of data to do extensive calculations, create new files to store the results, etc. all under automated program control and iterating through unlimited number of data files, until the job is finished, all without human intervention during processing.
Or am I missing something because all this can still be done simply and easily under VB and Sql Server? I've several books here about Visual Basic 2005 and Visual Basic 2005 Express, all showing how to create a database via a GUI utility. That's fine if one needs to create just one or two databases, but not hundreds, or even tens of thousands (as in my case) of them on the fly.
So, I am looking for the simplest and most direct database interface that will allow me to do the above under VB program code alone, and easily. For something as simple as I have described above, I don't think I should have to learn the SQL language or manually create each database file.
As you can see, I just want to get some heavy duty numerical processing job done over tens of thousands of data files as simply and efficiently as possible, and with as little fanciful detour as possible. So, ironically, I am trying to use Visual Basic without being cluttered by having to learn its "Visual" aspects, yet GUI is what most VB books devote to or emphasize heavily. Similarly, I would much rather use simple, "lean and mean", direct database function calls than having to learn a new vocabulary of "English-like" SQL language.
Yes, I'm not used to this tedious detour of learning the GUI aspect of VB, or learning the Structured Query Language of Sql Server, just to try to do something simple that I need to do in batch mode via a console application.
Are there any good books or other helpful URLs that will help a guy like me? Am I even using the wrong language and the wrong database to do what I want to do? What are the better alternatives, if any? Any advice, experience and pointers on any of the above issues raised would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
Regards,
ConsoleApp

Matt writes "Greetings! Warning, I'm a rookie. I wrote a stored procedure to pull data in order to do a nightly export/import from one system to another. I have a batch file that looks like this:
bcp "exec WinSNAP_retrieveStudents '0607'" queryout c:WinSNAPData06.txt -c -U user -P password
Sometimes, the file works and I get perfectly formed data, with everything just as I've requested (mostly basic demographic information: names, addresses, etc.).
But, other times the output file contains nothing but garbage characters, like this:
剒乏†††††††††ठ䅍啎䱅†††䴉㐉㐷‰䕓䄠䅐䡃⁅剄
The file size looks right, but it contains nothing but characters like this from beginning to end. I can find no pattern as to why/when good data gets pulled versus the corrupt data. I can run the batch file one minute and get good data, and run it the next minute and it's all corrupt. We have the batch file scheduled late at night when no users are online, and I get the same results -- one day it works, the next it doesn't.
Forgive me if this is a well-documented issue -- my searches so far haven't turned up a thing!
Thanks much for any advice you can provide!!

Hello everybody,
I was wondering if there is a way to export and recode data at the same time with SQL.
For example I have gender information coded as 1 or 2 in my table and I need to upload the information to a different application that needs M or F. Is there a way to export to a new table and recode at the same time ?
I'm still pretty new to it.
Thank you.

I would like to export data to a excel file using a stored procedure. I'm not sure how to go about this or if it is even possible. Can someone point me to a link to show me how to do this?
