How To Save &&"New&&" / &&"Updated&&" Records Only In To Destination Tables


Hi

I have a requirement like, i need to save all the records from my Flat File on Monthly basis to my database table. In the next month, the flat file may be added with 10-20 records and also some updates happened to my old records. Though the faltfile is same for each month, the changes are occured in some records and also added with few records.

So when i am loading this data in to Database  table, i need to just update the changed records and also needs to add the new records. I don't need to touch the remaining records.

How can i do that in SSIS 2005 using different data flow tasks ?

Thanks

Kumaran

Get Last Updated Records?
If I update a recordset a group of records using dynamic SQL where I update the TOP n records, is it possible to get the set of records that was updated?

Big Records Not Always Updated
In our database we have a memo field that sometimes coud be over 9 MBytes.
We are using the following code (VB) to update it

lReg = Len(fielText)
lOffset = 0
Do While lOffset < lReg
sChunk = Left(Right(fieldText, lReg - lOffset), 32768)
rs("document").AppendChunk sChunk
lOffset = lOffset + 32768
DoEvents
Loop
rs.Update

The problem is that sometimes the record is NOT updated and there is NO errors returned by SQLServer.

Do you have any suggestion? Is there another way to update records with big fields?

Need To Track Updated Records
Hi all,
I have a data of applicants. Everyday we dump this data into SQL server. Now I need to generate reports everyday so that we can track how many records get updated everyday. Now the thing is that the applicants are in various stages. So my reports need to track the how many applicants changed from stage "abc" to "pqr" and how many changed from "pqr" to "xyz". Now it is not necessary that all the records change stages everyday.

Protecting Records From Being Updated And Deleted
Hi I am using sql server 2005 express and would like to keep all my fields from being both updated and deleted.

In other words, once I create a new record, I would like to have it protected from being deleted and I dont want the field values to be updated/changed from the values initially entered. Is there a way to this without running triggers or changing database permissions and user roles?

I tried making the database read-only, but then of course i cant add new records.

UPDATE Stored Proc -- Updated Over All Of My Records
I wrote a stored proc to be implemented in a datagrid. I went and used it on a record to update some information and it updated THE WHOLE DATABASE WITH THAT ONE RECORD..

IF anyone could shead some light on what I'm doing wrong that would be great.

Here is the syntax for my stored proc.



CREATE PROC updateResults2
@id int, @address1 nvarchar (50), @address2 nvarchar (50), @CITY nvarchar (33), @ST nvarchar (10), @ZIP_OUT nvarchar (5), @ZIP4_OUT nvarchar (4), @home_phone nvarchar (22), @NEWPhone nvarchar (20)
AS
UPDATE Results
SET address1 = @address1,
address2 = @address2,
CITY = @CITY,
ST = @ST,
ZIP_OUT = @ZIP_OUT,
ZIP4_OUT = @ZIP4_OUT,
home_phone = @home_phone,
NEWPhone = @NEWPhone


GO



As said previously it ran but it updated the WHOLE DATABASE with the same change (WHICH I DIDNT WANT IT TO DO)!!

Thanks in advance.

Modifying Inserted Or Updated Records Without Recursion?
I am looking for a way to update the information in the "inserted" logical record without having to call something like this:

UPDATE tblX SET ValueY = ValueA/100 FROM tblX INNER JOIN inserted ON tblX.ID = inserted.ID

because this may result in the update trigger firing (again). I'd like to avoid this.

As a better example, if I have a table of transactions with cost and price info, plus a flag indicating whether the transaction has been merged to AR or GL, I want to be able to update cost or price directly, which will clear the flag and indicate that I have a batch out of balance. This I can do easily with Update(Cost) Or Update(Price).

But, I also need to be able to change the supplier in the transaction record. If I do this, I want the trigger to fetch the new cost and price for me. If the cost or price change, I still want to update the flag. To get there I can call

UPDATE tbl SET Cost = @EffectiveCost, Price = @EffectivePrice
FROM tbl INNER JOIN inserted ON
tbl.ID = inserted.ID

which is recursive.

I can't say "UPDATE inserted" because it's a logical table.

Is there any way to avoid this and to set values in the middle of an insert/update?

Can I Export Tables So That Existing Tables In Destination Database Will Be Modified?
I'm working on an ASP.Net project where I want to test code on a localmachine using a local database as a back-end, and then export it tothe production machine where it uses the hosting provider's SQL Serverdatabase on the back-end. Is there a way to export tables from oneSQL Server database to another in such a way that if a table alreadyexists in the destination database, it will be updated to reflect thechanges to the local table, without existing data in the destinationtable being lost? e.g. suppose I change some tables in my localdatabase by adding new fields. Can I "export" these changes to thedestination database so that the new fields will be added to thedestination tables (and filled in with default values), without losingdata in the destination tables?If I run the DTS Import/Export Wizard that comes with SQL Server andchoose "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the source database" and choosethe tables I want to copy, there is apparently no option *not* to copythe data, and since I don't want to copy the data, that choice doesn'twork. If instead of "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the sourcedatabase", I choose "Copy objects and data between SQL Serverdatabases", then on the following options I can uncheck the "CopyData" box to prevent data being copied. But for the "CreateDestination Objects" choices, I have to uncheck "Drop destinationobjects first" since I don't want to lose the existing data. But whenI uncheck that and try to do the copy, I get collisions between theproperties of the local table and the existing destination table,e.g.:"Table 'wbuser' already has a primary key defined on it."Is there no way to do what I want using the DTS Import/Export Wizard?Can it be done some other way?-Bennett

How To Insert Only New Records (not Already In Destination)
Greetings from a SSIS newbie still on the learning curve...

I have a SQL query OLE DB Source that yields a result set that I'd like to put into a SQL Server Destination, but only those records that don't already exist in the destination.

Is there a recommended (read: easy) way to accomplish this?  Perhaps a handy transformation?

I have tried to incorporate a subquery in my source query along the lines of:

SELECT fields FROM table1 WHERE keyfield NOT IN (SELECT keyfield from table2)

which works in design time but fails at the server with a cryptic:

"Error: Unable to prepare the SSIS bulk insert for data insertion."

and

"Error: component "<component>" (16) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202071."

Don't mean for that to cloud the issue, though.  I would appreciate any help given.

Thanks!

Missing Records In The Replication Destination DB
Hi Gurus,

We have a SQL 2000 DB1 ( publisher) which is replicated using transactional replcation onto the secondary server DB2 ( subscriber). we have identity columns on the DB1 and we created those tables with 'not for replication' clause. we skipped the following errors in the replication profile '2601:2627:8102:20598'. on DB2 ( the subscriber ) some records are missing in some tables . ( I verified this with record count differences for some tables in both the servers DB1 & DB2.

How to find out what are all the records missing & the cause.

I have listed the msrepl_errors table on DB1 , distribution databases all I'm seeing there are error code 8102 , unable to update identity column.

Any Idea is appreciated.

Delete Records That Don Exist In The Destination
Hi all,

I am developing an ETL wherein the requirement is to do an incremental load and at the same time, if there is a record that got deleted in the Source delete it from the destination too, makes sense.

The approach am doing is, pick data from the SRC and Destination, pass it onto a Merge join component, do a Full Outer join, then pass the rows to a conditional split. Newly Added records and updated records I can handle, how do I handle the Deleted records?

Am I correct in the way I am doing or there is something better to handle this?

Delete Records In Destination Table
Short Question: How do I delete all records from a destination table prior to appending new data to that table?

 

I am working with a SQL database that was migrated from MS Access. All relationships, primary keys, and identity columns have been set identically to the MS Access database values. The MS Access database is still being used as the database of record until the SQL database is fully functional with front-end, etc.

 

I want to delete the information stored in all the SQL tables, and then append the MS Access values to the SQL tables. I was able to write delete and append queries in MS Access to correctly transfer data to the SQL tables. However, I would prefer doing this through SSIS because I have several other sources of data to move to a SQL Server database and most of those other sources are not a MS Access database.

 

Due to relational entegrity settings, I need to delete the records from 8 tables in a specific order. I have tried independent control objects for each of the 8 tables with data flow objects of either "OLE DB Command" or "OLE DB Source" with the SQL command as "Delete From TableName". Results of the debug indicate everything is "green" but no records were deleted fromt the tables.

How Can You Save Data In Tables But Not In The Log File?
Hi All,
 

I'm developing a credit card application, and would like to store some sensitive data in a table temporarily, but be absolutely positive it either never goes into the log file in the first place, or is securely deleted from the log file when I delete the data. There's millions of other bits of data in the log, so truncating or otherwise disposing of the whole log is not an option.
 
In particular, I'm capturing the credit card mag stripe at the beginning of a transaction, and saving it while the work is done to complete the transaction. (ie, a pilot walks in, says "Top off the G4 with JetA, here's my card, have it ready when I get back.") We want to save the swipe info for maybe a couple of hours (it is encrypted during this time), use it for the authorization, then throw it away as per credit card industry rules.
 
Is there any way I can save the encrypted text string in a normal MSSQL field (Varchar(200)), have it stay around for a few hours as the user logs in and out of the database, then delete the record and be sure it's nowhere in the log?
 
TIA,

Insert / Update In Master Table And Also Save A History Of Changed Records : Using Data Flow/simple Sql Queries
Hi,

My scenario:

I have a master securities table which has 7 fields. As a part of the daily process I am uploading flat files into database tables. The flat files contains the master(static) security data as well as the analytics(transaction) data. I need to

1) separate the master (static) data from the flat files,

2) check whether that data is present in the master table, if not then insert that data into the master table

3) If data present then move that existing record to an history table and then update the main master table.

All the 7 fields need to be checked to uniquely identify a single record in the master table.

How can this be done? Whether we can us a combination of data flow items or write a sql procedure to do all this.

Thanks in advance for your help.

PROBLEM: Tables Are Locking Up When Attempting To Save Data
Over the weekend, one of our out-of-house programmers ran an update to our three main tables. I know these are kind of broadstrokes, but basically he compared the data and updated certain fields when it met certain conditions (lots of rules basically). The three tables are one-to-one and contain a little over a million records. The comparison file contained around 400k records.

The scripts made it through 250k records from the comparison file before he had to stop it for the weekend.

When I came in to test the data yesterday - I was met with problems on my front end application - it would lock up on the write back to the database. I went into EP and experienced the same thing after making any changes to a record, it would just lock up. This only appears to be a problem on the 2 bigger tables of the 3. I currently have 12 gigs or so free on that box and I have already shrunk the log and data files.

I tried removing and re-adding the indexes, but I am freezing up everytime I try to either change or delete the Clustered Index on the Primary Key. I don't know why, but I thought maybe that was my issue.

I know this is pretty broad, but even if someone could give me ideas as to why SQL would lock up like that when trying to just save the data, it would be most helpful.

NOTE: There were NO structure changes in the update process and my restored data from Friday works perfect.

If you need more info, just ask. Thanks in advance for the help.

Linked Reports Not Being Updated When Master Report Is Updated
Since updating to SQL Server 2005 SP2 I've noticed two things about Linked Reports.
 
1.  I do a lot of 'Snapshot' reports.  With SP-1 if I updated a master report and made any changes to the Parameter List - it undid all my custom parameter changes on linked versions (restored to the Master Reports Defaults).  While this is no longer happening with SP2 - it is still 'unhiding' the parameters.
 
2.  With SP-1 if I added/deleted columns or made other changes to the report structure - the linked reports would pick up on the changes with their next refresh.  With SP-2 I'm finding that I have to 'Re-link' the linked report back to the master report before the changes are refreshed.  This is very time consuming especially with each report having 8 or more Snapshot reports pre-set up.
 
Am I missing something - or is this a 'bug'...
 
Any help would be appreciated...

Ad_ID_PK in (select Ad_ID_PK from Audits)
Now i want to edit these names.
when i click on edit in gridview these names will be filled into textboxes and when i change the names it should compare the name with particular tables and should get the Id of that and store in Audits table.
For example:
i have this data in my audits table:




Commercial83312

2
2
2
1
Here Commercial83312 is ID of that Audit and 2,2,2,1 are the Industry,Company,Plant and group Ids for that particular audit.In the front end i can see the names of this particular IDs.
when i edit the industry name in the UI it must check the name with industry table and get the ID of the changed name and store it in audit table.
so the data may be changed in audits table as :



Commercial83312

4
2
2
1

 




so here the industry ID is changed
I need the stored procedure for this.
please help me,its very urgent...

Insert Records From Foxpro Tables To SQL Server Tables
Hi,

Currently, I'm using the following steps to migrate millions of records from Foxpro tables to SQL Server tables:

1. Transfer Foxpro records to .dat files and then bcp to SQL Server tables in a dummy database. All the SQL tables have the same columns as the Foxpro tables.
2. Manipulate the data in the SQL tables of the dummy database and save the manipulated data into the SQL tables of the real database where the tables may have different structure from the corresponding Foxpro tables.

I only know the following ways to import Foxpro data into SQL Server:

#1. Transfer Foxpro records to .dat files and then bcp to SQL Server tables
#2. Transfer Foxpro records to .dat files and then Bulk Insert to SQL Server tables
#3. DTS Foxpro records directly to SQL Server tables

I'm thinking whether the following choices will be better than the current way:

1st choice: Change step 1 to use #2 instead of #1
2nd choice: Change step 1 to use #3 instead of #1
3rd choice: Use #3 plus manipulating in DTS to replace step 1 and step 2

Thank you for any suggestion.

How To Print Or Save The Structure And Attributes Of All Tables And Columns In A Database (simply)
 

Hi.
 
A newbie question. I am tearing my hair out trying to work out how in Sql Server 2005 to get a printout (or even better a file I can save that i could incroporate in a wrod document), or both,  which shows the structure of all the tables in my database.
 
I want to list all tables (or selected tables perhaps) , and all columns in those tables, with the attributes of each column (nvarchar(2) etc or decimal(18,5) etc). Just a simple listing of all tables and their columns and the attributes of those columns.
 
Surely this must be possible with a simple one click operation in Sql Server 2005. I have created a database diagram which gives me part of what I want, but that just shows the tables, relationships, and column names, not the attributes of each column which is what I need as well.
 
I don't want to have to start installing third party products to do this, and I have no great script writing capabilities. Surely such a basic function is easily acheivable with one or two clicks in Sql Server 2005 from a menu somewhere in sql server mangaement studio?
 
Thanks in Advance for your help.

Now, i know that we need to do like this in wizard
1) Create a flat file source component.
2) Create flat file connection and set the properties of flat file (delimeters and other things)
3) Create a Multicast Component.
4) Create a Path between Flat file source and Multicast.
5) Create 2 destination component(each for a table).
6) Create path from multicast to 2 destination components
7) Create a OledbConnection and set table names for 2 destination components..
7) Now,i have to do mapping for destination1.8) Now, i have to do mapping for destination2( this mapping will be different from mapping done for destination1 because iam not inserting the data in the same order in which iam doing for TBLEmp1.

I have done it in wizard.I need to do it through code and i know that its not complicated.Please find the attached file with this mail.i have attached a screen shot of how i have done in wizard.The main problem is Mapping differently for 2 destinations from source.for 1st one we can have a forloop for mapping.but for 2nd one iam confused!!

Should You Save Results Of Intermediate Data Flow Steps To Temporary Tables Or Raw Files?
Hi,

I'm just starting off in SSIS and have a question that I can't find an answer to...

I'm loading in a number of files (in separate Data Flows) and performing some transformations on them before merging them back together. What I'm not sure about is what I should be doing with the data at the end of each of my "Import Data From XXXX Flat File" Data Flows. Am I better off using OLE DB Destinations (or SQL Server Destinations) and saving this intermediate data to temporary tables, or am I better off using a Raw File Destinations and saving this intermediate data to files? Or is there, perhaps, a better option that I'm currently unaware of?

If the Raw File Destination is the way to go, then isn't there a maintenance issue with cleaning up all the files created? And will there not be a management issue to ensure that there is sufficient disc space available on the drive you are saving to?

I'm a bit confused and overwhelmed by SSIS at the moment, so any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Lawrie.

Importing Data From One Source In Two Destination Tables Linked By A Foreign Key
Hi,

I have a new problem when I import data from an xml source file in two destination tables. The two tables are linked by a foreign key... for example :

table MOTHER (MOTHER_ID, MOTHER_NAME)

table CHILD (CHILD_ID, MOTHER_ID, MOTHER_NAME)

After a lot of transformations data are inserted into MOTHER table and I want to insert other fields of the data flow in CHILD table. To do this, I need the MOTHER_ID field that is auto incremented in MOTHER table.

My problem is to chain the insertion in CHILD table after the insertion in MOTHER table to be sure that the relative row in MOTHER table is really inserted. I haven't find any solution to chain another transformation task after my flow destination "Insert into MOTHER table".

The only solution I have found is to create a new flow control to insert data in CHILD table, using a lookup transformation task to bind with MOTHER table... But with this solution all my flow control transforms are made two times...

Is there a solution to chain two insertions with a foreign key constraint in a data flow?

Thanks

Arnaud Gervais.

How To Replace Data Of Tables From Source To Destination Database Using SSIS
I would like to replace data of some tables from STG to DEV database daily using SSIS package. Should I use "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" to do that? Thanks.

Combining Multiple Tables Into A Single Flat File Destination
Hi,

I want to combine a series of outputs from tsql queries into a single flat file destination using SSIS.

Does anyone have any inkling into how I would do this.

I know that I can configure a flat file connection manager to accept the output from the first oledb source, but am having difficulty with subsequent queries.


e.g. output

personID, personForename, personSurname,
1, pf, langan

***Roles
roleID, roleName
1, developer
2, architect
3, business analyst
4, project manager
5, general manager
6, ceo

***joinPersonRoles
personID,roleID
1,1
1,2
1,3
1,4
1,5
1,6

SQL Server 2005 - Save Tran Save Point Name Case Sensitive?
Hello:I didn't find any documentation that notes save point names are casesensitive, but I guess they are...Stored Proc to reproduce:/* START CODE SNIPPET */If Exists (Select * From sysobjects Where Type = 'P' and Name ='TestSaveTran')Drop Procedure dbo.TestSaveTranGoCreate Procedure dbo.TestSaveTranAsBeginDeclare@tranCount int--Transaction HandlingSelect @tranCount = @@TRANCOUNTIf (@tranCount=0)Begin Tran localtranElseSave Tran localtranBegin Try--Simulate Error While ProcessingRAISERROR('Something bad happened', 16, 1)/*If this proc started transaction then commit it,otherwise return and let caller handle transaction*/IF (@tranCount=0)Commit Tran localtranEnd TryBegin Catch--Rollback to save pointRollback Tran LOCALTRAN --<< NOTE case change--Log Error--Reraise ErrorEnd CatchEndGo--Execute Stored ProcExec dbo.TestSaveTran/*Should receive the following message:Cannot roll back LOCALTRAN. No transaction or savepoint of that namewas found.*//* END CODE SNIPPET */What is really strange, if there is a transaction open, then no erroris thrown. So if you execute as so:/* START CODE SNIPPET */Begin Tran--Execute Stored ProcExec dbo.TestSaveTran/* END CODE SNIPPET */There is no "Cannot roll back LOCALTRAN...." message.Questions:1-)Can someone confirm save point names are case sensitve and this isnot happening because of a server setting?2-)Is this a logic error that I am not seeing in the example codeabove?We have changed our code to store the save point name in a variable,which will hopefully mitigate this "problem".Thx.

Problem When Applying A Snapshot When Tables Have Been Updated During Snapshot Generation
Hi

   I seem to have a strange problem when applying a snapshot when the tables in the publication have been updated while the snapshot was being generated.

 

  Say for example there is a table called RMAReplacedItem in the publication. When the snapshot starts being applied to the subscriber, a stored procedure called sp_MSins_RMAReplacedItem_msrepl_css gets created that handles an insert if the row already exists (ie it updates the row rather than inserting it). However, after all the data has been loaded into the tables, instead of calling this procedure, it tries to call one called sp_MSins_RMAReplacedIte_msrepl_cssm - it takes the last letter of the table name and adds it to the end of the procedure name.

 

   The worst part is that this causes the application of the snapshot to fail, but it doesnt report what the error is, and instead it just tries applying the snapshot again. The only way i have managed to find which call is failing is to run profiler against the subscriber while the snapshot is being applied and see what errors.

 

   I have run sp_broswereplcmds and the data in there is what is applied to the subscriber - ie the wrong procedure name.

 

   All the servers involved are running sql 2005 service pack 2. The publisher and subscriber were both upgraded from sql 2000, but the distribution server is a fresh install of sql 2005.

Flat File Destination - Don't Create File If 0 Records
Hello friends,
 
I have the following (simplified):
 
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?

 
Thanks
