Writing Into Text Files In SSIS
Aug 18, 2006
I am having a scenario where all the stored procedures are stored in a folder (one sql file per sproc). Stored procedure does not have 'IF Exists .... DROP Procedure' in the script so before creating them we have to drop all sproc manually.
Can anyone help me writing a script / SSIS process to loop through each file in folder and write "IF EXISTS ... DROP PROCEDURE" with the procedure name in it ??
I can create a package that loop through each file in FOR each Loop task but dont know how to write in file using .net
Thanks in advance

Is there a quick way to extract a full dump of 50 tables to 50 corresponding text files?
i.e.
table_a has to be extracted to table_a.txt
table_b has to be extracted to table_b.txt
table_c has to be extracted to table_c.txt
etc.
I don't want to have to add each one separately by hand in the DTSX package designer.
I can't see any way to do it in a loop (because you have to do the field mapping).
I can't seem to get the DTS Wizard to help - it only seems to be able to handle one table-to-text extract at any one time.
And I've tried editing the DTXS file directly (in XML) but it looks like it's going to be rather complex, even if I only do it to define the connection managers.
Feel free to suggest any better way to do this, though the specification has already been agreed, so I'm unlikely to be able to change it.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm trying to join outputs of two text files combined in to one text file. The lenght of both the input text files are same (590)
For example,
If contents of text_file_1.txt is: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
and contents of text_file_2.txt is: bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
My final text file should be :
final_text.txt
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
I use flat file source for both the input file and then use "Union all" and then write out to final text file destination.
The issues is:
The second file (bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb) is coming up first in the output and then there is no carriage return.
My output looks like:
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb...(goes up to 590)aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
What is that I'm missing here. Could some one plese help.
Thanks

So i have about 80 different SSIS PAckages that load different text files into tables. each package has a config file that contains password, server name and user id. I want to forward these packages to a use who will execute them. So instead of giving the user 80 packages to execute manually, how do i put these packages into one parent package so that the user has to only execute this parent package instead of executing 80 different packages NB. package exec is manually. (we will automate later) so this is a temp measure.

What is the easiest way to get a large fixed width text file (200 columns) defintion into SSIS? To have to define each column with the ruler would be very cumbersome.

Hi.
There is a "text" file generated by mainframe and it has to be uploaded to SQL Server. I've reproduced the situation with smaller sample. Let the file look like following:
A17 123.17 first row
BB29 493.19 second
ZZ3 18947.1 third row is longer
And in hex format:
00: 41 31 37 20 20 20 20 20 ”‚ 31 32 33 2E 31 37 20 20 A17 123.17
10: 66 69 72 73 74 20 72 6F ”‚ 77 0D 0A 42 42 32 39 20 first row™ª—™BB29
20: 20 00 20 34 39 33 2E 31 ”‚ 39 20 20 73 65 63 6F 6E 493.19 secon
30: 64 0D 0A 5A 5A 33 20 20 ”‚ 20 20 20 31 38 39 34 37 d™ª—™ZZ3 18947
40: 2E 31 20 74 68 69 72 64 ”‚ 20 72 6F 77 00 69 73 20 .1 third row is
50: 6C 6F 6E 67 65 72 ”‚ longer
I wrote "text" in quotes because sctrictly it is not pure text file - non-text binary zeros (0x00) happen sometimes instead of spaces (0x20).
The table is:
CREATE TABLE eng (
src varchar (512)
)
When i upload this file into SQL2000 using DTS or Import wizard, the table contains:
select src, substring(src,9,8), len(src) from eng
< src ><substr> <len>
A17 123.17 first row 123.17 25
BB29 493.19 22
ZZ3 18947.1 third row 18947.1 35
As one can see, everything was imported, including binary zeros. And though SELECT * in SSMS truncates strings upon reaching 0x00's, still all information is stored in tables - SUBSTRINGs show that.
When i upload this file into SQL2005 using SSIS or Import wizard the result is following:
< src ><substr> <len>
A17 123.17 first row 123.17 25
BB29 4
ZZ3 18947.1 third row 18947.1 25
This time table is half-empty - all characters behind binary zeros in respective rows are lost.
I stumbled upon this problem while migrating my DTSes to SSIS packages. Do you think there is some workaround, or i need to turn on some checkbox or smth else could help? Please...

Hi, I'm relatively new to SQL and ASP.NET and I'm after some assistance to what I hope is an easily achievable goal.
I need to upload some files (.pdf, .doc, .jpg - whatever) to a directory on my webserver. Once this has been done, I'd like to write some data to an SQL Database Table that will contain information about these files in a datagrid (or something similar) along with a link to download them.
E.g I upload car.jpg which is located at /images/secure/car.jpg and is a photo of car. When a user logs in, they will be shown a datagrid which pulls information from said SQL database and in this datagrid will be something like:
Filename Description Link
car.jpg A pic of a car Download
If anyone is able to help me out with regards to linking to a file from an SQL dB it would be greatly appreciated, and if you require any further information just let me know :)
Ben.

Hi guys,I have a stored procedure that I will subsequently post below thismessage. What the stored procedure does is, it reads some specifictables in a database and created XML off it.The problem comes in when the data is bigger than a few hundred/thousand characters. The data is truncated and the XML file is notfully made.Now i have been reading some posts by some people and tried using TEXT/NTEXT/ IMAGE type to write the files but they give me errors which,again, I am adding to this email.STORED PROC:****************************CREATE PROCEDURE usrp_sp_makexmlfile@str varchar(50),@templatefile varchar(255),@ReturnValue as image OUTASSET NOCOUNT ONDECLARE @strVar as varchar(8000)/*DECLARE @ReturnValue as varchar(255)*/Set @strVar = 'Select * from ' + @str + ' FOR XML AUTO'Set @templatefile = 'c: emplate.tpl'EXEC (@strVar)SELECT @ReturnValueGOTHIS IS WHAT I GET WHEN I USE IMAGE/NTEXT/TEXT TYPE:************************************************** *******An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException'occurred in system.data.dllAdditional information: Parameter 2: '@ReturnValue' of type: Byte[],the property Size has an invalid size: 0Also, if i try to add an integer value to the image/text/ntext like8000 or something less than that, it tells me that the result has to bediscarded because the current process has had some error.Can someone give me a suggestion on how to resolve this or an examplethat would illustrate the solution? Thank you all in advance.Pi.

Hi guys,I have been trying to write data from a database to XML files andalthough i have been successful in doing that, the file(s) that are madeare not of the form that I would want.I am using:SQLDataSet.WriteXml(strFileName, XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema);to generate the files where strFileName is the name of the file. Thefiles when viewed with XML Editor are seen as lines of data instead ofthe regularly generated XML where each row is one below the other. Whenviewed with WordPad/Notepad i see elements />< betweeen the dataand somehow I think this has to do something with the problem.Can someone help me with this?? Any help or suggestion would be greatlyappreciated.Thanks.*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

Hi
Coming straight to the problem -
I need to write text files of the size more than 1GB! First thought of doing this with BCP but then fetching data from stored proc was taking too long (more than one hour) and so BCP did not seem to be the right option as we have less flexiblity in terms - handling errors, knowing the status as to what point the writing has been complete etc. Most importantly getting such a huge amount of data did not seem to be a one time job! So I am now thinking about writing a CLR procedure which fetches smaller amount of data at a time and writing to file. Something like - open connection, get data, close connection, write to file and continue in cycles of this till whole file is written. Does this makes sense considering the amount of data to be fetched?
Any suggestion/comment on this will be much helpful!

Hi;Before I start let me say I know this is a silly way to go aboutthings, but it is one of those "my company made me do it" things.My company is in the process of ( finishing ) migrating from foxpro tosqlserver.They have a foxpro program that does a lot of various updates. Iwould like to write a tsql script to replace it.The trick is that the tsql script would have to have some proceduralprogramming artifacts that I don't think it has.I/my company would like the script to generate output messages thatthe user can see while the script is running. Everytime I have ran ascript in query analyzer I usually don't see the output ("print"statemetns, etc ) until all of the work isdone. Is there a way to run thing so I can see the output statementsas the work is being done?Can print statements work from within a tsql loop?The other thing is that I/my company wants the tsql script to writeoutput messages to a log file while it is operating ( for errorchecking and other logging).Is this possible with tsql?Thanks in advance for the infoSteve

We have a package that is using a ForEach loop container to access files on a network drive. For some reason I am getting a message that the ForEach enumerator is empty and did not find any files that matched the pattern. For the pattern I left the default *.* for testing purposes. I have specified the file folder as \remoteserverfilesharesubfolder and also as \remoteserverc$filesharesubfolder and have gotten the same message. However when I map a network drive and set the file folder to the network drive it finds the files. Is this a permissions issue?
After I finish processing the file I want to move it to a new directory. Once this is deployed in production, the package will not be running under a domain account and probably won't have access to the network folder. Is there any way to specifiy in the connection manager itself that it should use a specific account to access the folder?
TIA,
Sabrina

Hello, historically it has been frowned upon to store textual data in sqlserver. In v6.5 and before, 2k pages were allocated regardless of actual data size. Is this still the case in v7.0? I have a situation where the intranet application wants to store documents/images/etc. Currently, we need to have security granted to each user who connects to the web server to allow them to write files. However, if we write the data via sqlserver, then the application only needs permission. Is this the recommended method? What other options can I use? tia, Lee

I have a Foreach loop which scans a table, and gets names of a bunch of procedures, and then back in the foreach loop, they get executed. Im trying to figure out how I can create a sort of log file to say the name of the procedure that is getting executed currently and the current date time stamp onto a flat file. I havent been able to figure this out yet..anyone know how to do this? I grab the names of the storedprocedures from the table and store it in a variable and use the name from the variable to actually execute the stored procedure.
I guess in essence, the question is how do i directly write lines of 'text' (from say a variable) into a flat file.

I want to write a batch file that will do just that. The problem is bcp or bulkcopy never works with my code, it doesn't recognize it. Maybe I'm going the wrong way to do this, but I could use some help. Ideally I'll make the batch to do the importing via bulkcopy or something like it of a text file into a table and use windows scheduler to automate it. Be as specific as you can please, I'm very new to sql server.

I am trying to create a text file from multiple SQL Tables using @BCP_Command. I tried using DTS and SQL but the number of columns in the tables have to be the same size when doing a union. I also not to place a delimeter between each column. I've learned how to use BCP_commands on one file not sure if you can make it work with two or more.

Want to write from a table variable to a text file from a stored procedure.Read about xp_cmdshell bcp etc. but worried because it's supposed to be a security problem and needs to be from a permanent database.Also am getting error "The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'xp_cmdshell'..."
1. Is xp_cmdshell a bad idea to use even if I get permissions ?
2. Can a "permanent" table be used in a stored procedure starting out fresh each time with 0 rows rather than use a table variable ?

Alex writes "Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Version - SQL server 2000
SQL Enterprise Mgr Version 8.0
I am currently developing a backend SQL db for an ASP website. I am only learning, so quite new to it all & would appreciate some help with the following;
I currently have a form that updates a recordset in my SQL db. This is working fine, except for the fact that when the form loads and the db tries to write the field value into my text box, e.g. Address: 20 Harbour Drive, the field value is truncated at the space and it writes the address as 20 in the text box.
When I view the detail page, no problems, the recordset was updated, but when I go back to the update page, the record values are truncated again as though the ASP page thinks the space is some kind of delimiter?
The size property of my textbox element is the same as the varchar datatype size in the SQL table.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance, this is driving me nuts.

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.
Thank you,

Hello everybody,
my name is Christof and I#m currently trying to write into our Terdata Warehouse by SSIS. In the Management Studio we can perfectly access Terdata - reading from it - but we actually see no way writing back Data into that system. Is there any hidden feature, any configuration menu that we had´nt seen so far?.
In the software documentation we found a tip "ADO.NET" as Data Destination is´nt imlemented for now - please wait until ....
I´m asking me if someone has had the same problem before and could help me out with a little tip.

I have a Dataflow task with oledb source that is using SqlCommand to retrieve data and oledb destination to write the source output to a table. I have access to both the source and destination databases.
The problem is the destination component is not writing any rows to the destination table eventhough the Source component is returning rows (I can see them in the Preview and the source database table as well).
I'm using "Table/View Name from Variable" for destination.
The Package executes without any errors but there is no output.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
