Split Row's Columns Across Multiple Tables
Hello,

Hoping someone here can help. Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but I'm surprised not to see a data flow task in SSIS for splitting *columns* to different destinations. I see the Conditional Split task can be used to route a *row* one way or another, but what about columns of a single row?

As a simple and somewhat contrived example, let's say I have a row with twelve fields and I'm importing the row into a normalized data structure. There are three target tables with a 1-to-1 relationship (that is, logically they are one table, but physically they are three tables, with one of them considered the "primary" table), and the twelve input fields can be mapped to four columns in each of the three tables.

How do I "split" the columns? The best way I can see is to Multicast the row to three different OLE-DB Destinations, each of which inserts to one of the three target tables, only grabbing the four fields needed from the input row.

Or should I feed the row through three successive OLE-DB Command tasks, each one inserting into the appropriate table? This would offer the advantage, theoretically, of allowing me to grab the identity-based surrogate primary key from the first of the three inserts in order to enable the two subsequent inserts.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Dan

Split One Field In Multiple New Rows
HiHo,
just a beginners question:
 
I have the following row with 2 fields:

Field 1:            Task A
Field 2:´           1;2;3;4
 
The number of semicolon divided elements in Field 2 is variabel.
 
I would like to create new rows like:
 
    Row 1      Field 1:     A            Field 2:        1
    Row 2      Field 1:     A            Field 2:        2
    Row 3      Field 1:     A            Field 2:        3
    Row 4      Field 1:     A            Field 2:        4

 
I think I should use a Foreach Loop.
But I don't exactly how to do it?
 
best regards

Arranging Data On Multiple Rows Into A Sigle Row (converting Rows Into Columns)
Hello,
I have a survey (30 questions) application in a SQL server db. The application uses several relational tables. The results are arranged so that each answer is on a seperate row:
user1   answer1user1   answer2user1   answer3user2   answer1user2   answer2user2   answer3
For statistical analysis I need to transfer the results to an Excel spreadsheet (for later use in SPSS). In the spreadsheet I need the results to appear so that each user will be on a single row with all of that user's answers on that single row (A column for each answer):
user1   answer1   answer2   answer3user2   answer1   answer2   answer3
How can this be done? How can all answers of a user appear on a single row
Thanx,Danny.

Obtaining Data To Be Displayed In Multiple Columns From Multiple Rows
 

Hello All,
 
I am rather new to reporting on SQL Server 2005 so please be patient with me.
 
I need to create a report that will generate system information for a server, the issue im having is that the table I am having to gather the information from seems to only allow me to pull off data from only one row.
 
For example,. Each row contains a different system part (I.e. RAM) this would be represented by an identifier (1), but I  to list each system part as a column in a report
 
The table (System Info) looks like:-
 
ID | System part |
1  | RAM
2  | Disk Drive
10| CPU
11| CD ROM |
 
Which
 
 
So basically I need it to look like this.
 
Name | IP | RAM | Disk Drive|
----------------------------------------------
A | 127.0.0.1 | 512MB | Floppy
 
So Far my SQL code looks like this for 1 item
SELECT SYSTEM  PART
FROM System Info
WHERE System.ID = 1
 
How would I go about displaying the other system parts as columns with info
 
Any help is much appreciated!

Processing Multiple Rows And Multiple Columns In SSIS
 I previously posted a problem with result set bindings but I have not been able to resolve my problem.  I guess all this comes with being new to programming in this environment!  Anyway, I am trying to figure out how to process from an ADO.NET connection multiple rows with multiple columns.  I have to read and manipulate each row.  I was originally looking at using a foreach loop but have not been able to get it to work.  One reply to my previous thought I should be using a data task to accomplish this.  Could someone tell me the best way to handle this situation?  As a note, I am new to programming in SSIS and basically trying to learn it as I go so please bear with me!  Thanks in advance!

Select DISTINCT On Multiple Columns Is Not Returning Distinct Rows?
Hi, I have the following script segment which is failing:

CREATE TABLE #LatLong (Latitude DECIMAL, Longitude DECIMAL, PRIMARY KEY (Latitude, Longitude))

INSERT INTO #LatLong SELECT DISTINCT Latitude, Longitude FROM RGCcache



When I run it I get the following error: "Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__#LatLong__________7CE3D9D4'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.#LatLong'."



Im not sure how this is failing as when I try creating another table with 2 decimal columns and repeated values, select distinct only returns distinct pairs of values.

The failure may be related to the fact that RGCcache has about 10 million rows, but I can't see why.

Any ideas?

not sure if this is possible...

but lets say i make a select like

and my rs is

chair | 1
couch | 3
lamp | 2

is there anyway in the select to make any row that has stock of more than 1 to make a new row... so my rs would come back as

chair
couch
couch
couch
lamp
lamp

Any info would be helpful...

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?

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've been searching the forums and Google for some help splitting up rows in a table without any luck. 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

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

Turn Columns Into Rows And Rows Into Columns
I have a report which is a list of items and I display everything about the item. It is great. My report table in the layout tab is simple. Header,Detail,Footer. Each Item has 65 columns. The number of items (rows) vary upon what you want to see. Example data.
Item#, Description, CaseSalePrice, Cost, BottleSalePrice, Discount
123, Grenadine, 100.00, 75.00, 15.50, 2.00
456, Lime Juice, 120.00, 81.00, 17.25, 2.00

There could be 1 item or 4000 items.

What I want to see is.

Item # - 123, 456
Description - Grenadine, Lime Juice
CaseSalePrice - 100.00, 120.00
Cost - 75.00, 81.00
BottleSalePrice - 15.50, 17.25
Discount - 2.00, 2.00

What I am actually doing is running this the top example and saving to excel. Then copying the sheet. Creating a new sheet then doing a paste special transpose and this gives the users what they want to see.

I want to grab that table object in the report layout tab and twist it 90degrees so the header is on the left, detail is in the middle and the footer is on the right. It would be perfect.

The dynamic column need is really the problem here. I never know how many items will be in the report. They all have the same basic information like description and pricing.

I am all out of creative ideas, any help would be appreciated.

Split Txt File Into Multiple
How can I split this incoming file into separate txts.  I want to cut out each Header/detail row section into a new txt.  What I mean by header/detail row:





incoming txt file:



http://www.webfound.net/split.txt

basically want to cut out each section like this:

http://www.webfound.net/what_to_cut.txt

http://www.webfound.net/rows.jpg



and a kicker...each new txt name must use a certain field (based on x numbers in header row) followed by another field whcih is the date form the header row.  somethign like this:



SUBSTRING(InputFieldBigString,LEN(InputFieldBigString) - 59,4) == "HD" + SUBSTRING(InputFieldBigString,LEN(InputFieldBigString) - 1,8) == "HD" + .txt

I need some hand holding here, it's my first time trying to do something so complicated in SSIS 2005.  If I can first just get the txt split into multiple, that would be a big help.

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

Can I Split A Long .sql File Into Multiple Files?
 I have one really long .sql file I'm working on.  It's actually a data conversion type script.  It's gotten really cumbersome to work on as long as it is.  I would like to split up various logical parts of script into their own .sql file.How can I have one file .bat, .sql or whatever call each .sql file in the order I specify? Hoping this is easy. Thanks

Multiple Columns With Different Values OR Single Column With Multiple Criteria?
Hi,

I have multiple columns in a Single Table and i want to search values in different columns. My table structure is

col1 (identity PK)
col2 (varchar(max))
col3 (varchar(max))

I have created a single FULLTEXT on col2 & col3.
suppose i want to search col2='engine' and col3='toyota' i write query as

SELECT

TBL.col2,TBL.col3
FROM

TBL
INNER JOIN

CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col2,'engine') TBL1
ON

TBL.col1=TBL1.[key]
INNER JOIN

CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col3,'toyota') TBL2
ON

TBL.col1=TBL2.[key]

Every thing works well if database is small. But now i have 20 million records in my database. Taking an exmaple there are 5million record with col2='engine' and only 1 record with col3='toyota', it take substantial time to find 1 record.

I was thinking this i can address this issue if i merge both columns in a Single column, but i cannot figure out what format i save it in single column that i can use query to extract correct information.
for e.g.;
i was thinking to concatinate both fields like
col4= ABengineBA + ABBToyotaBBA
and in search i use
SELECT

TBL.col4
FROM

TBL
INNER JOIN

CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col4,' "ABengineBA" AND "ABBToyotaBBA"') TBL1
ON

TBL.col1=TBL1.[key]
Result = 1 row

But it don't work in following scenario
col4= ABengineBA + ABBCorola ToyotaBBA

SELECT

TBL.col4
FROM

TBL
INNER JOIN

CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col4,' "ABengineBA" AND "ABB*ToyotaBBA"') TBL1
ON

TBL.col1=TBL1.[key]

Result=0 Row
Any idea how i can write second query to get result?

DTS - Split Single Source Record (text) To Multiple Target (sql)
I am using DTS and VBScript in DataPump tasks in order to transfer large amounts of data from text files to an SQL database.

As the database uses a normalized schema, there is often the case of inserting multiple records in a destination table from various fields of the same record of the source text file.

For example, if the source record contains information about goods sold like date, customer, item code, item name and total amount, and does so for a maximum of 3 goods per sale (row), therefore has the structure:

[date], [custid], [code1], [name1], [amount1], [code2], [name2], [amount2], [code3], [name3], [amount3]

trying to transfer that record to a [SALES] target table (in a normalized database), we would have to split each source record as follows:

[date], [custid], [code1], [name1], [amount1]
[date], [custid], [code2], [name2], [amount2]
[date], [custid], [code3], [name3], [amount3]

What is the best way to do this using DTS?

I have tried using a datapump task and VBScript, and I guess it has to do with the DTSTransformStat_**** constants, but none of those I used seems to work

Search In Fulltextindexes For Multiple Searchterms In Multiple Columns
I want to search in fulltextindexes for multiple searchterms in multiple columns. The difficulty is:
I don't want only the records with columns that contains both searchterms.
I also want the records of which one column contains one of the searchterm ans another column contains one of the searchterms.

For example I search for NETWORK and PERFORMANCE in two columns.
Jobdescr_________________________|Jobtext
Bad NETWORK PERFORMANCE________|Slow NETWORK browsing in Windows XP
Bad application PERFORMANCE_______|Because of slow NETWORK browsing, the application runs slow.

I only get the first record because JobDescr contains both searchterms
I don't get the second record because none of the columns contains both searchterms

I managed to find a workaround:

SELECT T3.jobid, T3.jobdescr
FROM (SELECT jobid FROM dba.job WHERE contains(jobdescr, 'network*') or CONTAINS(jobtext, 'network*') ) T1
INNER JOIN (SELECT jobid FROM dba.job WHERE contains(jobdescr, 'performance*') or CONTAINS(jobtext, 'performance*')) T2 ON T2.Jobid = T1.Jobid
INNER JOIN (SELECT jobid, jobdescr FROM dba.job) T3 ON T3.Jobid = T1.Jobid OR T3.Jobid = T2.JobId
It works but i guess this will result in a heavy database load when the number of searchterms and columns will increase.

Does anyone know a better solution?

Thanks in advance Bart Rouw
