Using Script Destination Object To Create And Write To New Text File
Jul 31, 2007
Is there a better way to do this?
We've all seen this, where it uses an individual .write statement for each column.
Code Snippet
Public Overrides Sub AWCCogent_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As AWCCogentBuffer)
With textWriter
Dim item As Object
If Not Row.AddressID_IsNull Then
.Write(Row.AddressID)
End If
.Write(columnDelimiter)
If Not Row.City_IsNull Then
.Write(Row.City)
End If
.WriteLine()
End With
End Sub
But hard coding this seems not the smartest way. Especially since in my text file, there needs to be close to 100 columns. This could be a nightmare to update down the road. But I can't seem to find the object collection to loop through, like row.items which would seem to be logical.
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. System.UnauthorizedAccessException: at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) at System.IO.FileStream.Init(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, Int32 rights, Boolean useRights, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options, SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES secAttrs, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy) at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, ileOptions options) at System.IO.StreamWriter.CreateFile(String path, Boolean append) at System.IO.StreamWriter..ctor(String path, Boolean append, Encoding encoding, Int32 bufferSize) at System.IO.StreamWriter..ctor(String path, Boolean append) at System.IO.File.AppendText(String path) at WriteLog.WLog.LogToTextFile(String LogName, String newMessage)
I am trying to create a text file from an SQL query on a SQL table. I would like the SSIS package to prompt for the file name and path. The text file is tab delimited and the text qualifier is a double quote.
LEFT OUTER JOIN vwInventoryAllocMapping AS vwMap ON a.TNRAllocTypeID = vwMap.TNRInventoryAllocID
LEFT OUTER JOIN ABC.dbo.ZREFRESHTAB AS b ON a.DispenserID = b.Asset
LEFT OUTER JOIN ABC.dbo.TableJoinKey AS c ON a.TitleID = c.TITLE_ID
WHERE (vwMap.DataSourceID = 3) and vwMap.[DataSourceAllocName] = 'I'
group by c.SKU_NO , vwMap.[DataSourceAllocName],a.Qty , b.Profit_Center
order by c.SKU_NO,vwMap.[DataSourceAllocName]
GO
i have to send the result of aforesaid script in batch of 300 records per file (tab delimited text file) now the file name must be dynamically created as each file will contain 300 records.
I have found some document related to same issue on this url
Hello, Using SSIS I am loading the data from SQL Server 200 to Oracle 10g R2. What should I use the destination object? Is it 'DataReader Destinations' or 'OLE DB Destinations'. If 'DataReader Destinations', how to specify the destination table? Thank you, Smit
I have a Problem with my destinations. I have a split condition with two ways the flow can use.
In this case: all and Date.
All and Date can be set by using a variable. Its working good.
When a user fills the variable with a date value (cast to string) the conditional split executes the correct flow with all the needed rows... The same time the all flow will be executed with 0 rows. In the end the destionation file for the all values will be overwritten with nothing. The same on the other hand when a user fills the variable with the all value, the date file is empty. What can i do to make sure that the files are not empty?
Hello, I get errors during import process from flat files to sql table (random missing rows) when I have more files to load through a "for each loop" cycle. If one of the files is not present (because not yet generated by an other process) many of the rows present in the next file are skipped during import operation. This happens even if the "maximumErrorCount" is set to 10000. The error reported is Warning: 0x8020200F at Import File Bolle , Source_Bolle [1]: There is a partial row at the end of the file Sql 2005 has Service Pack 2 installed. Can some one help me? Thanks and regards
1. Flat File Source 2. Conditional Split, Case Good = !ISNULL(KEY) Case Error = ISNULL(KEY) 3. Case Good -> Writes to Good Flat File (with timestamp in the title) 4. Case Error -> Writes to Error Flat File (with timestamp in the title)
Most job runs have no errors but the error file is created as a zero byte file anyway. If there are no error records I don't want the error file created. How might I accomplish this?
Hi, I am new to SQL Server. Trying to convert a pc sas program to a SQL Server 2000 DTS package. Need fixed format comma delimited destination text file from a DB2 data source. Problem: SQL wants to make financial field 19 bytes long but I want it to be 12. Tried casting as a DECIMAL(7,2) but SQL still wants it to be 19 bytes long. Tried converting to CHAR but then it is still left-justified. I need decimal to be in the third byte from the right. Is this possible?
I am using bcp to write from a query or table into a text file from a stored procedure. No problem. However, what do I do if I want to write to a text file from another stored procedure which returns a record set? Any help gratefully received. thanks.
basically i am trying to create a program wherein after saving a new transaction to the sql database, the fields saved will be retrieved and then written to a text file.
i read a thread here which is similar to what i am trying to do but it was in xml format..
What I am trying to do is very simple. I just want to run 2 stored procedures, then have the output from both sp's written to a single file.
I created a Data Flow task, then put 2 OLE DB Source adapters in the Data Flow task, one for each stored procedure.
Next, I dropped a Flat File destination object onto the page. However, I can only connect ONE arrow from one of the OLE DB Source adapters to the Flat File destination. It won't let me connect both.
What am I doing wrong here? How can I accomplish what I am trying to do here?
I am scripting a DTS Package using VB. The problem I am having is that I get the following error when I execute the package from Visual Basic:
Step Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services Flat File Rowset Provider Step Error Description:Incomplete file format information - file cannot be opened.
In the DTS Designer when I open the DataPump Transformation and click on the Destination tab I am prompted With the Define Columns dialog. I define the columns and click execute. The package works properly after doing this when executed from Enterprise Manager. Does anyone know how to script the file definition creation??? I have searched high and low through BOL and other resources and am not finding anything. I doesn't seem like it should be this hard to figure out so, maybe I am missing something.
I have a sp which saves the necessary information regarding the status of action(whether success or failure, rows affected etc) to a log table say( StatusLog )After this, I was sending a database mail with information taken from the log table via sp_send_dbmail. Now I would like to write the status information to a 'txt' file instead of sending via mail.How can I write to a text file from a stored procedure in ms sql server 2005?
I have a table with a column [FileData] of type TEXT or XML. I need to write the content of the column to a file, using sp_OAWrite for example, but the stored procedure who needs to read the content and write it to the file does not work because the limitation is no local variable for those types. What use is that datatype if i can not use it in procedures like this?
Anyone out there who could give me a tip on how to solve that?
I want to export to a Text File (destination) from a SQL query using a DTS DataPump Task. My query has 28 columns, some how when I try to define the destination columns for my text file the Microsoft Managment Console Crashes completely.
I tough may be my query has two many columns only to find out that it has one to many. If I ramove a column form my query, any column. I get no error at all.
¿Is there a limit to a Text File destination connection?
I am trying to load 14+ million rows from a text file into local Sql Server. I tried using Sql Server destination because it seemed to be faster, but after about 5 million rows it would always fail. See various errors below which I received while trying different variations of FirstRow/LastRow, Timeout, Table lock etc. After spending two days trying to get it to work, I switched to OLE DB Destination and it worked fine. I would like to get the Sql Server Destination working because it seems much faster, but the error messages aren't much help. Any ideas on how to fix?
Also, when I wanted to try just loading a small sample by specifying first row/last row, it would get to the upper limit and then picked up speed and looked like it kept on reading rows of the source file until it failed. I expected it to just reach the limit I set and then stop processing.

So this one has been bugging me for a while and I am ready to punt...
Is it possible to dynamically create a text file destination in SSIS and then pump the results of a query stored in a variable to this text file?
So my package looks like this 1) SQL task that pulls back a list of tables to be exported 2) For Each Loop ADO enum that passes the table name to a SQL Task that builds the select...ie select * from <DTS.Variables()> 3) Data flow task that sets the command from variable from step 2 4) Text File destinaiton that is built using a varable as the connectionstring
I am delaying validation in steps3 and 4 above without any luck...basically I am curious if i can even do what I am thinking I should be able to do here...I get as far as getting metadata errors because SSIS can't seem to handle dynamically filling the pipeline with the columns from the variable/SQL statement.
Hi all, I got a unicode file source with this fields: -DT_WSTR (100) originally is DT_STR(100) -DT_WSTR (100) originally is DT_STR(100) -DT_NTEXT -DT_WSTR (20) originally is DT_DBTIMESTAMP -DT_WSTR (5) originally is DT_BOOLEAN
I export a Query result to a File (see above) ...as unicode TXT destination.
OK, now I must to re-import into another DB and here is my difficult...'cause the DT_NTEXT is HTML code and I got always this error: [Flat File Source [1050]] Error: The column delimiter for column "scheda" was not found. Scheda field is the DT_NTEXT.
Into connection manager area I modify the advanced tab for the set-up of my fields setting all to: Unicode string [DT_WSTR] with a variable of the len, but Try also to define everyone to the rigth type of the SQL destination like:
In every type of action I see no message alert and all seem to be good, but when I try to execute got always same error...

Running NT 4.0, sp6a. and sql 2k. I have a DTS job that works just fine if i go to 'design view' and then 'execute' it. But if I schedule it, the following error appears.. My question is... why?

I have to generate flat files from SQL Server tables. Its a backup package for few tables which will be run daily. I want the names of the destination flat files to be automatically generated at run time.
I created an expression for the Flat file destination connection and appended the date and the time to the flat file name. For today my file name is 'table02-12-2007.txt'. for tomorrow it should be 'table02-13-2007'. When I evaluate the expression it shows the correct value.
But when i run the package, I receive an error indicating - Destination file is not found. Error is because the destination file is not present at runtime and I was hoping that the package will be create the file on the fly.
Is there any way to create the destination file at runtime? Or Am I missing a step?
I am trying to export data from a query in SQL Server 2005 SSIS to a flat file destination. Everything works fine except the rows returned from my query are written to the flat file in one long string (i.e., without line breaks). I have tried appending a new line character to the rows returned from the query but that only throws an error when the package is executed. My rows returned from the query are 133 characters wide (essentially only one column per row) so I have set the properties accordingly for a fixed width file format with 133 character wide rows.
Any suggestions or ideas on how to correct this would be greatly appreciated.
I want to check a table to see what rows have been updated today, then write to a text file some data from the selected rows; then I want to automate this (DTS package? TSQL stored procedure job?) to run every night at midnight. Is the DTS Wizard the best way, that's what I did, but have not confirmed that it is writing a new text file every day, and does each new version write over the old one?
I have a data task with the following requirements: 1) Run query against database to retrieve rows 2) Add header and footer row to the result set. The footer row must contain a count of the records. 3) Write the rows to a fixed width file if there were any data rows
I have got to the point that I can create the file (using a set of tasks that includes derived columns, sorts, aggregation and merges). However the file is created regardless of whether there were data rows returned. I can't check the row count before proceeding as this isn't set until the data task ends. And if I try to split them into separate data tasks (so that I can access this variable and perform conditional execution) it becomes harder to access the original rows.
Do you have any recommendations on the best way to achieve this? It all seems to be very complex and I'm starting to feel that it would be easier to do this outside of SSIS... Please help me to keep the faith!
For those interested this is a slightly simplified version of what I have so far (all within a single data task):
1.Run dummy sql to create header row 2.Run main SQL to retrieve rows | | | 3.Multicast | | | | | 4.Create footer row by doing sum() in aggregate task | | | | 5.Merge body and footer | | 6. Merge header with body and footer |
I have created a trigger to call a program that is written by our program. The program is basically read the record in the table and write to a text file, then delete the record from the table.
The trigger is a after insert trigger. After we added the trigger, we insert a record to the table. The result is that the record still and did not get deleted. Also, the text file didn't get created either. It seems that it take a long time for the record to be written to the table.
But if we just run the program (a exe file), it can write a text file in the folder and delete the record. the trigger is basically:
USE [Zinter] GO /****** Object: Trigger [dbo].[ZinterProcess] Script Date: 04/29/2014 18:34:56 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO
We are in the process of trying to automate our production releases (what a concept ;-)
The database is SQL server 2005 All objects are being stored in VSS Using Nant and Cruise Control for the actual migrations. I have two directories - Create (for a brandnew database) and Change (db object changes)
In my 'Change' script, I do the following -
1 - Take backup of database 2 - Migrate objects from 'change' directory to production 3 - Script out all objects of database and save in the 'Create' directory
For the #3, I was hoping I could create an SSIS package that would script out all database objects and save them on the VSS server.
I'm new to SSIS and want to verify it's something that can be done before I start down that path. If anyone has any examples or references, it would be much appreciated.
I'm looking for a simple way to create a text file inside a stored procedure. I want to set it up so the end user would just execute the SPROC that would run the required queries and dump the result into a custom formated text file.
I tried BCP but could not lauch it inside the SPROC without using OSQL. I am running SQL Server 2003 64bit. Any ideas?
