How To Split A Delimited Column Into Mulitple Rows In The Dataflow?
I'm sure there is probably a very easy solution that I am just not seeing or can't Google...
I have a DataFlow that includes a column of Delimited values (i.e. Value1,Value2,etc..). As this DataFlow is populating a parent table, I need split the values into their own dataflow and populate a child table. I've tried a script transformation and couldn't figure out how to accept 1 delimited input row and output multiple rows after a split. Any ideas?
TIA,
Matthew

Return Subquery Rows As One Delimited Column
I don't know if this is possible, but I haven't been able to find anyinformation.I have two tables, for example:Table 1 (two columns, id and foo)id foo--- -----1 foo_a2 foo_b3 foo_cTable 2 (two columns, t1_id, and bar)t1_id bar------ ----1 bar_a1 bar_b1 bar_c2 bar_d3 bar_e3 bar_fWhat I'm shooting for is returning the result of a subquery as atext-delimited column. In this example, using a comma as thedelimiter:Recordset Returned:foo bars----- -----foo_a bar_a,bar_b,bar_cfoo_b bar_dfoo_c bar_e,bar_fI know that it's usually pretty trivial within the code that isquerying the database, but I'm wondering if the database itself can dothis.Is this possible, and if so, can someone please point me to how it canbe done?

Uneven Number Of Rows In Delimited File
Hi everyone. A delimited file is being sent to us from another company. The file is supposed to have 10 columns in each row. We are going to process the file using SSIS (2005) Question - how do we handle the file if some of the rows are bad - are missing one or more columns? If my package reads the file using a flat file source, when I run the package with a file where some of the rows have fewer than the expected 10 columns, my package abends on the flat file source task. All we can think of doing is writing .net code to process the file as the first step of the package or even outside the package, to remove bad rows from the file before it hits SSIS. Browsing through a couple of threads here similar to mine, it appeared to me that MS staff responded by stating the functionality of the flat file source may be enhanced in the future to handle this? Thank you, Glen

Can I Split Matrix Into 2 Or 3 Rows?
Hi All I have a matrix with single row. The no. of column varies and sometimes goes to 10-15. So it goes to next page and while exporting it inserts blank pages when exported to PDF. I need the column width at least 2.5cm. I need to break the matrix to next row instead of it going to next page say after 6th or 8th column. I tried to work with the example given in the site http://blogs.msdn.com/chrishays/archive/2004/07/23/HorizontalTables.aspx by Chris Hays. But it is showing matrix for each Row Group, which doesn't meet my requirement. I had a work around which worked by putting two matrix one below the other and filtering the columns to be shown in each matrix. If anybody faced this issue or anybody solved the issue kindy reply which will be very helpful for me. One more doubt, Can I get the Column number of the matrix? Thanks in advance Dileep

Splitting Delimited Column
I have a question for all the t-sql gurus. I have a table with millions of rows, 1 particular attribute "FromPerson" contains a string of email addresses, names, etc... for example (formatting done by this window... not exists in database...completely cleaned to semi-colon delimited) tomh@gmail.com; Snyder, John N.; jsnyder@yahoo.com; Miller, Jim; millerj@gmail.com; Tenbrow, Jack; Katie Winslow (can be x number of names, emails...) as you can see... some of the delimited values match up with an email address, others have just names, or emails... I have successfully split this into 1 row per value per say, but how do i get them to match up the values that do. I think the splitting is really not helping the cause... what i want is this... tomg@hotmail.com tomg@hotmail.com Snyder, John N. jsnyder@yahoo.com Miller, Jim millerj@gmail.com Tenbrow, Jack Tenbrow, Jack Katie Winslow Katie Winslow there could/can be other attributes, like datetime stamp, domain(if any)... etc... but I think I can add that later... any ideas?

Comma Delimited Name Column
I'm not sure it this is the correct forum, but here goes. I am not a DBA, but rather a .NET developer that has been thrust into working on an SQL database created using documentation and modeling from another database. The data is provided by the state of NC in a fixed length format. Getting the data into the database is no problem. The problem is that one of the searchable columns, the name column, is populated with the full name delimited by commas. My first thoughts are to create columns for the different name parts. The problem with that is the names sometimes do not follow the "last, first, middle, suffix" pattern. Some names in the column are of other nationalities that may consist of about five or six name parts. On top of that there are instances where there may be two or three commas before, after or in the middle of the name data. Searching the data as it is was simplified by creating a full-text index and searching the data with the containstable and near predicates and functions. The issue comes in when I the searcher needs to search for different spellings, either by the end user or the person that entered the data. Example: "Keith or Keeth". The FORMSOF function doesn't seem to do the trick when searching the name column. I have experimented with the Soundex function provided in SQL but that really doesn't seem to work on the comma delimited column data either. I get way too much useless results to deal with considering there are over 30 million rows of data to search. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best approach for this problem?

How To Split Out Table Rows Into 3 Tables
I imported all rows of my txt file using SSIS 2005 into a table. I am now trying to figure out how to split out the header, payment rows, and maintenance rows. First, some information. An example of table results is here: http://www.webfound.net/split.txt The table has just one field of type varcha(100) because the incoming file is a fixed length file at 100 bytes per row The header rows are the rows with HD in them...then followed by detail rows for that header (see here http://www.webfound.net/rows.jpg). I need to 1) Split out the header into a header table 2) Split out the maintenance rows (related to the header) into a maint table 3) Split out the payment rows (related to the header) into a payment table I'll need to maintain a PK/FK relationship between each Header and it's corresponding maint and payment rows in the other 2 tables. To determine if it's a payment vs. maintenance row, I need to compare chars 30 - 31. If it contains 'MT' then you know it's a maintenance row, else it's a payment row. How in the hell do I do this???

SQL View To Split Rows In Single Table...

I'm not quite sure what to even look for I have a table is MSSQL 2000 that looks as follows: Code: id custnum b1_email b2_email b1_sub b2_sub ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 123456 b1@host1.com b2@host1.com 0 0 2 654321 b1@host2.com b2@host2.com 1 0 3 321654 b1@host3.com b2@host3.com 0 1 Now... I am hoping create a view that splits these rows up so that only a single email address is on each row. I'd like to split it up as follows: Code: custnum email sub ---------------------------------- 123456 b1@host1.com 0 123456 b2@host1.com 0 654321 b1@host2.com 1 654321 b2@host2.com 0 321654 b1@host3.com 0 321654 b2@host3.com 1 Any help would be great!

How To Assign Unique PKs And FKs On Split Of Txt Rows Into DB Tables
SSIS 2005 Ok, I have a task in SSIS that does the following and works: 1) Brings in a txt file 2) Using a conditional component, checks for a value in the row. 3) Based on the value, splits the row into one of 3 tables (Header, Maintenance, or Payment) Here is a print screen of what I have so far which splits Header rows into it's own table, Maintenance rows into its own table, and Payment Rows into its own table: http://www.webfound.net/qst_how_to_add_header_PK_and_FKs.JPG Here is a print screen of the conditional split: http://www.webfound.net/conditional_split.jpg Please take a look at the txt file here before it's processed: http://www.webfound.net/split.txt http://www.webfound.net/rows.jpg Notice that the pattern is a header row, followed by it's corresponding detail rows. The detail rows are either Maintenance or Payment rows. I need to somehow during the Script component or some other way, to assign a unique HeaderID (PK) to each of the header rows and add that ID to it's corresponding Maintenance and Payment detail rows in their corresponding tables as a PK. The problem is 1) I don't know how to do this in the flow of the components as I have it now 2) How do I tell it to create a new Header ID and Header FKs for the detail rows based off of each new Header row? In the end (much later on in my entire package), the goal is to be able to run a stored proc to join and select the Header and Details rows back into a final table so I can then do more processing such as split each header and detail rows into their own txt files, etc....I don't need to go into details why but just know that this is the goal, therefore I need to relate each header row with their corresponding detail rows that are split off into a MaintenanceRow and PaymentRowTable

Problem Ith DTS And Delimited File With Empty Last Column
Hello,I'm not getting any response to this on the SQLDTS newsgroup, so Ithought that I would try here:I just ran into this problem and I can't find any other mention of itthrough Google. I have a text file that is comma-delimited. It alsouses double quotes as text identifiers. A new column has been added tothe file, but currently has no values. I would like to finish mydevelopment so that when it does finally get some values, they will beimported as well. The problem is, the last column does not show up inDTS.I can reproduce this problem easily enough... create a text file withthe following two lines in it:1,"test",2,"test2",Now, create a new DTS package and add a text file connection. Point itto the new file and go through the properties for the file. You willnotice that on the second screen where it displays the preview of thedata there are only two columns shown.This does not happen if there is no text qualifier or if at least onerow has the final column value filled. Is there any way around thisproblem?Thanks!-Tom.

Replace Column Value With MAX() Query In Dataflow Before Insert
Hi, We have a dataflow task that imports data from excel to a sql2005 database table. One of the columns is never filled in in the excel source. For updates we can use the lookup transformation to fill in that column, but for new values we need to calculate a new value for it (it's a PK) with MAX(column) +1 and replace the null value in the dataflow with this new value. Just to be clear: column id (int) column name (string) Based on the 'name' column, we can look up existing ids, and update these in the table. Ids that don't exist yet need to be filled in with the maximum value of the column + 1 (we can't use identity columns) and inserted in the table Which transformation do I use to replace the value of the id column with this new id? thanks, Stephane

Dynamic Column Mapping - Dataflow Task
I was using the code in this thread (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1371094&SiteID=1) to create a console application which can build the SSIS package dynamically and run the package. If the source column and destination column names are of different cases then the application was failing during the mapping. So I modified the for each loop like below. Still this is not a fool proof method, this will work as long as all characters in the column names are upper or lower. for eg., Source column = empl_id, Destination column = EMPL_ID, in this case the below code will work. if the source column or destination column is Empl_Id, then the below mapping will fail. Code Block foreach (IDTSVirtualInputColumn90 vColumn in vInput.VirtualInputColumnCollection) { IDTSInputColumn90 vCol = destnDesignTime.SetUsageType(input.ID, vInput, vColumn.LineageID, DTSUsageType.UT_READWRITE); try { destnDesignTime.MapInputColumn(input.ID, vCol.ID, input.ExternalMetadataColumnCollection[vColumn.Name.ToLower()].ID); } catch { destnDesignTime.MapInputColumn(input.ID, vCol.ID, input.ExternalMetadataColumnCollection[vColumn.Name.ToUpper()].ID); } } So how can I map the columns irrespective of the cases?

Custom Dataflow Component---add New Column To Buffer
This is trivial I'm sure but I'll be dogged if I can find someone who mentions how to do it. I am attempting to develop a Data Flow Transformation that appends a new column (a string value) into the current stream. I have found plenty of references on how to replace an existing column but I'd really like to just add my new column in there. It doesn't need to be configurable, it can be a static column name. I'll take a solution that allows the column name to be set at design time, don't get me wrong but the magic I'm looking for is how to implement a new column in a stream. Yes, I am well aware of the derived column task but I will be replacing a few hundred instances and I'd much rather just drag an item onto the designer than to drag a derived column, double click it, type in the column name, set the expression and then set the datatype, etc. Anyone spare a moment to enlighten me? Pardon the lack of formatting, this BB doesn't play with Opera (I know, I'm a heretic) using System; using System.Collections; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline; using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper; using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper; using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime; namespace Microsoft.Samples.SqlServer.Dts { [ DtsPipelineComponent ( DisplayName = "Nii", Description = "This is the component that says Nii.", ComponentType = ComponentType.Transform ) ] public class Nii : PipelineComponent { public override void ProcessInput(int inputID, PipelineBuffer buffer) { if (!buffer.EndOfRowset) { while (buffer.NextRow()) { try { // do something here to } catch (Exception e) { ComponentMetaData.FireInformation(0, ComponentMetaData.Name, "There was an error on row " + buffer.CurrentRow.ToString() + ".

Parse Delimited Data In Column To Multiple Columns
I'm working on a sales commission report that will show commissions for up to 5 sales reps for each invoice. The invoice detail table contains separate columns for the commission rates payable to each rep, but for some reason the sale srep IDs are combined into one column. The salesrep column may contain null, a single sales rep id, or up to five slaes rep IDs separated by the '~' character. So I'd like to parse the rep IDs from a single column (salesreplist) in my invoice detail table (below) to multiple columns (RepID1, RepID2, RepID3, RepID4,RepID5) in a temp table so I can more easily calculate the commission amounts for each invoice and sales rep. Here is my table: CREATE TABLE invcdtl( invoicenum int, salesreplist [text] NULL, reprate1 int NULL, reprate2 int NULL, reprate3 int NULL, reprate4 int NULL, reprate5 int NULL, ) Here is some sample data: 1 A 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 3 I~~~~ 15 0 0 0 0 4 A~B 5 5 0 0 0 5 I~F~T~K~G 5 5 2 2 2 6 A~B As you can see, some records have trailing delimiters but some don't. This may be a result of the application's behavior when multiple reps are entered then removed from an invoice. One thing for sure is that when there are multiple reps, the IDs are always separated by '~' Can anyone suggest a solution?

How Do I Split A Column Result By A Nonalphanumeric Character?
I have a column that returns client numbers. The client numbers are 4-6 characters in length. A period (.) is added to the end of the client number, and then one last digit (1-4) is affixed at the end to denote a categorization. In SQL, I need to figure out how to divide these results into two columns, one for the client number and one for the categorization number. EG: client #4334.1 would become 4334 for client # and 1 for categorization number or Client #424561.3 would become 424561 for Client # and 3 for categorization number. I have to strip out the period in the process and leave myself with just the numeric characters divided into two columns. Ive been researching my brains out on string queries and substring queries and I can't figure out how to parse out the period and/or to have SQL understand that I need everything BEFORE the period for one column and everything AFTER the period for the second. Is it possible to do this? I really need help on this one. Thank you :)

Comparing A Column List Split To A Table.
Let me see if I can explain my situation clearly.I have a table with the columns:answer_id, question_id, member_id, answer- answer_id is the primary key for the table.- question_id relates to another table with questions for a user. Thetable holds the question and the possible choices in a varchar fieldseparated by a delimiter.- member_id is self-explanatory- answer is a varchar field of all the choices the user selected,separated by a delimiter.Here is my problem.I am trying to search all members that have answered, say, question_id= 2 where they selected 'brown' as one of their choices.i can do this if they selected ONLY that item, but not multiple items.The problem is this portionanswer in(select valu from dbo.iter_intlist.....I need this to be something like....function_to_return_all_separated_answers(answer) in(select valu from dbo.iter_intlistThe current way, it is only returning members that have an answer'Brown', not 'Brown, Blue' in their answer field. Make any sense?
