Is Ssis The Only Technology That Can Read/write Raw Data Type Files?
Sep 21, 2007I'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?
SQL 2012 :: TEMPDB High Avg Write Wait Time On Data Files
Apr 15, 2014I am currently investigating aa high avg write time ms issue (145ms) which seems to be only occuring on the tempdb data files.I have followed the recommended setup of TEMPDB in that
1. Data files = number of physical cores
2. Data files and logfiles are on separate partitions away from the other databases.
3. Tempdb is presized and no incremental file increases look like they are happening with frequency.
We have sharepoint 2012 setup on other sql servers and with TEMPDB setup following the same guidelines, with far more Sharepoint activity on a similary specified hardware which is why its confusing.FileIO auditing on the partitions themselves shows that the FileIO is very fast on the partitions that the tempdb data file which leads me to beleive that Sharepoint may be the culprit perhaps due to excess use of tempdb with operations taking a long time to resolve.
SQL 2012 :: Blank Database Created On Two Separate Disks - Write To Multiple Files
Mar 17, 2014I am testing out a blank database created over two physical files on two separate disks with one table called data which has one column called values nvarchar(max).
I filled the table up with a whole load of data and ran a select * against it. If I run Permon at the same time I can see that the read load has been spread over multiple disks as each of these disks is getting read from in parallel. If I create the same database on a single file and run the same select * again it takes much longer, proving that the read load has been distributed across multiple disks.
Now moving onto writes, this is where the confusion lies. I understand that SQL server fills files evenly until they need growing, after which it will then fill files individually until they are full in a round robin fashion unless you have trace 1117 turned on. What I don't understand is why the writes aren't distributed out whilst it is filling these file groups.
I ran an continual insert into my table with go 1000000 to monitor how the files are being filled up. I monitored where SQL server was physically placing the files as they were being inserted by running the following query:
;WITH CTE AS
(SELECT
sys.fn_PhysLocFormatter (%%physloc%%) col1,
RIGHT(LEFT(sys.fn_PhysLocFormatter (%%physloc%%),2),1) AS [Physical RID],
DATAID
[Code] ....
I could see that it would a thousand or so records into file 1, then a thousand or so into file 2, then a thousand or so into file 1 etc etc. In another words it would hit one disk, then another disk, then back to disk one to fill the file evenly. Is there any way to make SQL Server distribute the writes out in parallel so that both disks are writing in tandem?
By the looks of it, multiple disks only scale reads, as with writes only one disk is ever written to at once which is annoying. Any way to harness the write power of multiple disks?

Backup Master Key, Cannot Write Into File 'c: Empmaster'. Verify That You Have Write Permissions, That The File Path Is Valid.
Jul 12, 2006Hi,
I tried to backup the master key by the following syntax :
OPEN MASTER KEY DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'mypassword'
BACKUP MASTER KEY TO FILE = 'c: empmaster' ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'mypassword'
but it failed and i got the following message:
Cannot write into file 'c: empmaster'. Verify that you have write permissions, that the file path is valid, and that the file does not already exist.
NB: I am using the "sa" user to execute this command.
I know that we have a security permission issue , but where and how ?

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Separate Data Files / Log Files / TempDB / Backups
Jan 9, 2015I proposed on a new server that we separate Data Files, Log Files, tempDB, Backups, etc. onto separate LUNS on a SAN with High Speed Solid State Drives.I was told that with the new technology with solid state SAN's that it would decrease performance and that it did not work the same way as it did when you had RAID 5's etc.I thought that if things were cared out correctly by a SAN Administrator they would know how to configure for optimal performance.

Script Task: How To Compare Files On FTP With Existing Files In Local Folder Before Transfer!
Apr 24, 2008In the first step of my SSIS package I need to get files from FTP and dump it/them in a local directory, but it's more than that, the logic is like this:
1. If no file(s) found, stop executing and send email saying no file(s) found;
2. If file(s) found, then compare it/them with existing files in our archive folder; if file(s) already exist in archive folder, stop executing and send email saying file(s) already existed, if file(s) not in archive folder yet, then transfer it/them to the local directory for processing.
I know i have to use a script task to do this and i did some research and found examples for each of the above 2 steps and not both combined, so that's why I need some help here to get the logic incorporated right.
Thanks for the help in advance and i apologize for the long lines of code!

Is It A Good To Replace SQL Script Files With XML Files?

This way I can open the XMLfile using an XML Editor and see the values in a GRID andmake changes easier.Do you see any problem with this approach?I managed to put together some code that is exportinga SQL table with its data to an XML file and also a codethat reads the XML file's data and inserts it into a table.Now I am researching on XSD, td:datatype, DTD...(I am new to XML) in order to figure out how I canuse a single xml file that will hold both the sql serverfields, the datatypes and their values.If you have links to some sample code that has anythingto do with the datatype export and import I am workingon, can you please share them with me?Most importantly what do you think about the idea of usingXML files vs sql scripts?Thank you

Linked Server To Text Files: Is Possible To Detect Changes Made To Those Files? (SQL Server 2005)
Sep 3, 2007Hi gurus,
I've created a linked server (and set up the corresponding schema.ini file) in order to perform bulk-inserts from some CSV text files into SQL tables (from my standpoint the text files are just for reading purposes). The linked server works fine (I can select the data in the files without a problem).
Now the question: is possible to automatically detect when one or more of those files change in order to start the import process automatically? Something like having a trigger created on the CSV files Or there's no easy way to do that so I have, to say something, to create a Job that periodically checks if the files have changed programatically (say, recording each file's timestamp everytime is imported and comparing the recorded value with the current one, or whatever)?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Convert Doc-files To Rdl-files
Jan 22, 2008Hello,
I might have a rather strange question but I was wondering if there is a way/tool that can be used to convert/import Word documents (.doc) into Reporting Services report files (.rdl). The problem is that I have lots of Word documents containing e.g. survey question. The reports are very extensive with many pages and many "graphical" objects e.g. rectangles etc.. Now I want to have all these reports imported into Reporting Services, i.e. I want the .doc-files to be converted to .rdl-files. I do not want to use e.g. OfficeWriter but I want the .doc-files to be migrated to the rdl-format. Is that possible, is there a tool for this? Both file formats are Microsoft formats, so there should be a conversation tool right?
Best Regards

Hot To Write This SP
May 9, 2002Hey all.. Sorry I have never written a SP in my life.
so this would be a newbie question for sure.
Using sql server 7.
Here is my table field setup with sample values all fields are numeric
except date
weekending size effic dailycap workdays planutil demand
variance
5/172002 8 80 85 5 244
102 142
A file with source data will be made available in comma delimitted format to
supply a new weekending value, size and demand.
What I will need is first the dts to bring that in. then I am assuming a
stored procedure to be run (this is why I am here)
to add the data from the comma del. file into the table. If the data EXISTS
I would want it to UPDATE the values that are in the dest table but run a
calculation first which would be the planutil minus demand then the result to
be updated intot the record.
if the record from the tab del. file does not exisst in the dest table then
insert it.
another words the logic i have in mind
read the data from the temp tample (where the file gets imported into)
see if the record exists in the live table is it does update it with the calculation of planutil minus demand
if not create the new record in the live table.
I need it to compare..
Someone help me with some code
i thank you kindly in advance
p.s. And good books dedicated to stored procedures??
