MS SQL Server :: Split The Data Into Columns

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

MS Access Detail Split Into Columns On Report
I would appreciate any help on this project. I have created an Access database that contains one vehicle. I have also included all options on that vehicle, which are in one column. Therefore the main criteria for the vehicle is listed each time for each different option. On my report I am grouping by the vin and placing the main criteria in the group header area of the report. The options are going into the detail section. How do I get the options to print in two columns within the detail section? I am unable to find any help on this subject, so I am asking you for help.

Thank you all! Timpy

A Word About Meta-data, Pass Through Columns And Derived Columns
Here's another one of my bitchfest about stuff which annoy the *** out of me in SSIS (and no such problems in DTS):

Do you ever wonder how easy it was to set up text file to db transform in DTS - I had no problems at all. In SSIS - 1 spent half a day trying to figure out how to get proper column data types for text file - OF Course MS was brilliant enough to add "Suggest Types" feature to text file connection manager - BUT guess what - it sample ONLY 1000 rows - so I tried to change that number to 50000 and clicked ok - BUT ms changed it to 1000 without me noticing it - SO NO WONDER later on some of datatypes did not match. And boy what a fun it is to change the source columns after you have created a few transforms.

This s**hit just breaks... So a word about Derived Columns - pretty useful feature heh? ITs not f***ing useful if it DELETES SOME of the Code itself after there have been changes in dataflow. I cant say how pissed off im about that SSIS went ahead and deleted columns from flow & messed up derived columns just because the lineageIDs dont match.

Meta-data - it would be useful if you could change it and refresh it - im just sick and tired of it that it shows warnings and errors when there's nothing wrong - so after a change i need to doubleclick all my transforms so that those red & yellow boxes would disappear.

Oh and y I passionately dislike Derived columns - so you create new fields based on some data - you do some stuff - combine multiple columns to one, but you have no way saying remove the columns from the pipeline. Y you need it - well if you have 50K + rows with 30+ columns then its EXTRA useless memory overhead for your package.

Hopefully one day I will understand how SSIS works (not an ez task I say) - I might be able to spend more time on development and less time on my bitchfest - UNTIL then --> Another Day - Another Hassle with SSIS

Data Flow Split
I'm trying to figure out how in a Data Flow Transform I can split some data.

I have data coming through that has a PK (col1) and datetime col (col2).
This data may contain multiple rows for the PK, col1.
I want to be able to take the min datetime for each row for col1 and send down one path and all other rows down another path eg. There are 20 rows in the Data Flow coming through. Col1 has value 1 for first 10 rows, value 2 for remaining 10 rows and there are different values for Col2 for all rows. Take the Min value in Col2, where col1=1 and also the min value in Col2, where col1=2 and send down one path. Send all other rows down another path.

I thought of using the Conditional Split Transform but my Expression knowledge isin't experienced enough (I'm looking into this) and I'm not sure if it can be done.

I also though of using the Multi-Cast Transform and then using the Aggregate function, on each data set. While I can do this easily for the first data flow.

SELECT col1, MIN(col2)

FROM tbl1

GROUP BY col1

which is easily done in the Aggregate transform, the other side of the data flow I can't see how can be done using the Aggregate Transform

SELECT col1

FROM tbl1

WHERE col2 NOT IN (SELECT MIN(col2) FROM tbl1 GROUP BY col1).

Are either methods feasilble or is there another way.
I want to avoid putting this data into temp tables in a SQL database and manipulating the data from there. The data has been extracted from a flat file source.
Any help and ideas welcome.

How To Split Data Into Two Rows
I have a query that returns a table similar to:

State        Status          Count
CA          Complete     10

NC          Complete     20
NC          Incomplete   205
SC           Incomplete   50

What sort of query will allow me to reformat the table into:

State      Complete     Incomplete
CA         10               200
NC         20               205

T-SQL To Split Data From One Table Into Two Tables?
What's the best way to convert a large set of records from a simple schema where all fields are in one table to a schema where fields are split across two tables? The two table setup is necessary for reasons not worth getting into here.

Doing this via cursor is pretty straightforward, but is there a comparable set-based solution?

Here are sample create table commands. Obviously, the example below is simplified for discussion purposes.

-- One record from here will produce a record in TargetParentRecords and a record in TargetChildRecords for a total of two records.
CREATE TABLE OriginalSingleTableRecords (
ID INT IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,

ColumnA VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
ColumnB VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,

CONSTRAINT PK_OriginalSingleTableRecords PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (ID)
)

CREATE TABLE TargetParentRecords (
ParentID INT IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,

ColumnA VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,

CONSTRAINT PK_TargetParentRecords PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (ParentID)
)

-- Each row in this table must link to a TargetParentRecords row
CREATE TABLE TargetChildRecords (
ID INT IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,

ParentID INT NOT NULL, -- References TargetParentRecords.ParentID
ColumnB VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,

CONSTRAINT PK_TargetChildRecords PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (ID)
)

How To Split Data From The MS SQL 2000 Database?
Hi All,

We are working on a project, (C#.Net 2003, MS SQL 2000) where database is growing as 2 to 3 GB per day (Scanned Documents are storing in Database). There is only one table in the database. Currently database size is grown upto 200 GB. For safety reason we are planning to split the database accoring to one key field in the table say Book_no.

Please guide/suggest me how to split the database now on the SQL query like "SELECT * FROM master_records WHERE book_no=1"
And later how to merge/combine all these splitted database into one.
I thought of using "Data Export" and later "Import with Append" but don't know whethere it will effective or not? Any method or tool available to Split the database table and later combine them to make again a single one?

Please help me, its urgent.

Thanks in advance.

Retrieving Data From A DB Based On Output Of A Conditional Split

This is probably an easy question, and I just can't find the solution. I've searched extensively, but I am probably just not searching for exactly what I need.

Basically, I have a Conditional Split. What I need to do is for each row coming out of my split, I need to SELECT some data from another database based on one of the fields and then place the data from the DB into a file for later processing.

Seems pretty simple, considering the power of SSIS. Using tools such as OLE DB Command didn't help - the data that comes out of the OLE DB Command is the input data, not the data returned by the command.

How can I do this?

Thank you!

Deadlock Problem? 3 Way Conditional Split Of Data From One Table To Another Never Completes
I have a source table which I'm splitting 3 ways based on a column value, but the target is the same OLE DB destination table. One conditional path is to a Multi-Cast two way split to same OLE DB gestination table. The default split is to a flat file for logging unknown record types. For a test I have data for only the 3 column values I want, but I'm having trouble with the process completing. If I pre-filter the data going into the source table by one or two values I can get the process to complete even if one split is to the multicast. If I include all three data types in the source table, I get different results depending on the order in which the conditions are specified - sometimes only two split paths are executed; other times all three are executed, but in some cases only one path of the multicast split is executed. In any case, when the three source data types are used in the test, the process never competes - the pathes are in a yellow condition and never complete.

Am I creating some kind of deadlock situation by having the source data directed to the same target table via 4 splits? Any help you can provide is appreciated. Thanks.

Split DB - Static Controls Versus User Data - Feedback On Plan
In my prototype, I've got i) the (relatively) static control files (various control values) and ii) the user datain the same DB (SQL Server Express). Both types of files are entirely accessed through table adapters.
I'm thinking I'd like to split the data into two databases, one for just the static control files, and the other for the user data. Then split the app into two separate apps, one for user data, one for just the control tables. I'm thinking this will be more secure, easier to maintain and rebuild if something fails, other reasons (...?)
I'm hoping to get some general feedback on the reasonability of doing this, and on my general approach.
My first approximation of a plan to do this would be:0) lot's of backups first and during!A) Copy the current DB, rename as "Control-something, delete the "user" tables from it, then delete the control tables from the original "Data" DB
B) similarly copy, rename, split the app files into "control" and "user" appsC) in the both of the resulting apps 1) create a new connection string to the "new" control DB 2) Edit the tableadapters as necessary to use the new connection string
D) Figure out where there needs to be any "cross over" links between the two apps (dunno right now, users won't touch app controls, though maybe some administrators would....)
E) Plan to deploy both DB's and both apps as appropriate, with separate access URL's for the two different apps.
So the questions are
0) Any real advantages to doing this, for security, maintenance, etc?1) Is this a "commonly used" approach, or do most people just keep the data and controls in one DB?2) Any issues with one app / multiple DB;s (it's going to be a single server app for the first release.)3) Any issues with simultaneously accessing one DB from two apps?4) Are there any big missing pieces in this conversion plan?
Any feedback on this would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Combine Data And Split Into Separate Txt Files For Each Header/detail Row Groupings
I€™ve created with the help of some great people an SSIS 2005 package which does the follow so far:

1)       Takes an incoming txt file. Example txt file: http://www.webfound.net/split.txt

The txt file going from top to bottom is sort of grouped like this
     Header Row (designated by €˜HD€™)
          Corresponding Detail Rows for the Header Row
           €¦..
     Next Header Row
          Corresponding Detail Rows

     €¦and so on

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

2)       Header Rows are split into one table, Maintenance Detail Rows into another, and Payment Detail Rows into a third table. A uniqueID has been created for each header and it€™s related detail rows to form a PK/FK relationship as there was non prior to the import, only the relation was in order of header / related rows below it when we first started. The reason I split this out is so I can massage it later with stored proc filters, whatever€¦

Now I€™m trying to somehow bring back the data in those table together like it was initially using a query so that I can cut out each of the Header / Detail Row sections into their own txt file. So, if you look at the original txt file, each new header and it€™s related detail rows (example of a cut piece would be http://www.webfound.net/rows.jpg) need to be cut out and put into their own separate txt file.

This is where I€™m stuck. How to create a query to combine it all back into an OLE DB Souce component, then somehow read that souce and split out the sections into their own individual txt files.

The filenames of the txt files will vary and be based on one of the column values already in the header table.

Here is a print screen of my package so far:

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

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

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

Let me know if you need more info. Examples of the actual data in the tables are here:

Moving Files (split From An Existing Thread-SSIS Equivalent To DTS Transform Data Task Properties)
Hi JayH (or anyone). Another week...a new set of problems. I obviously need to learn .net syntax, but because of project deadlines in converting from DTS to SSIS it is hard for me to stop and do that. So, if someone could help me some easy syntax, I would really appreciate it.

In DTS, there was a VBScript that copied a set of flat files from one directory to an archive directory after modifying the file name. In SSIS, the directory and archive directory will be specified in the config file. So, I need a .net script that retrieves a file, renames it and copies it to a different directory.

Linda

Here is the old VBScript Code:

Public Sub Main()

Option Explicit

Function Main()

Dim MovementDataDir

Dim MovementArchiveDataDir

Dim MovementDataFile

Dim MovementArchiveDataFile

Dim FileNameRoot

Dim FileNameExtension, DecimalLocation

Dim CurMonth, CurDay

Dim FileApplicationDate

Dim fso ' File System Object

Dim folder

Dim FileCollection

Dim MovementFile

'======================================================================

'Create text strings of today's date to be appended to the archived file.

FileApplicationDate = Now

CurMonth = Month(FileApplicationDate)

CurDay = Day(FileApplicationDate)

If Len(CurMonth) = 1 Then

CurMonth = "0" & CurMonth

End If

If Len(CurDay) = 1 Then

CurDay = "0" & CurDay

End If

FileApplicationDate = CurMonth & CurDay & Year(FileApplicationDate)

'=====================================================================

' Set the movement data directory from the global variable.

MovementDataDir = DTSGlobalVariables("gsMovementDataDir").Value

Import Data From Excel-Sheet Via OleDb In VB.Net - How To Get A Columns Data As String?
Hello,

i want to import data from an excel sheet into a database. While reading from the excel sheet OleDb automatically guesses the Datatype of each column. My Problem is the first A Column which contains ~240 Lines. 210 Lines are Numbers, the latter 30 do contain strings. When i use this code:

Code BlockDim sConn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & conf_path_current & file_to_import & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=NO"""
Dim oConn As New OleDb.OleDbConnection(sConn)
Dim cmd1 As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand("Select * From [Table$]", oConn)
Dim rdr As OleDb.OleDbDataReader = cmd1.ExecuteReader
Do While rdr.Read()
Console.WriteLine(rdr.Item(0)) 'or rdr(0).ToString
Next

it will continue to read the stuff till the String-Lines are coming.
when using Item(0), it just crashes for trying to convert a DBNull to a String, when using rdr(0).ToString() it just gives me no value.

So my question is how to tell OleDB that i want that column to be completly read as String/Varchar?

Thanks for Reading

RS2k Issue: PDF Exporting Report With Hidden Columns, Stretches Visible Columns And Misplaces Columns On Spanned Page
Hello:

I am running into an issue with RS2k PDF export.

Case: Exporting Report to PDF/Printing/TIFF
Report: Contains 1 table with 19 Columns. 1 column is static, the other 18 are visible at the users descretion. Report when printed/exported to pdf spans 2 pages naturally, 16 on the first page, 3 on the second, and the column widths have been adjusted to provide a perfect page span .

User A elects to hide two of the columns, and show the rest. The report complies and the viewable version is perfect, the excel export is perfect.. the PDF export on the first page causes every fith column, starting with the last column that was hidden to be expanded to take up additional width. On the spanned page, it renders the first column on that page correctly, then there is a white space gap equal to the width of the hidden columns and then the rest of the cells show with the last column expanded to take up the same width that the original 2 columns were going to take up, plus its width.

We have tried several different settings to see if it helps this issue or makes it worse. So far cangrow/canshrink/keep together have made no impact. It is not possible to increase the page size due to limited page size selection availablility for the client. There are far too many combinations of what the user can elect to show or hide to put together different tables to show and hide on the same report to remove this effect.

Any help or suggestion on this issue would be appreciated

Data Flow: Converting Data In Multiple Columns
Hi,

I'm just wondering what's the best approach in Data Flow to convert the following input file format:

Date, Code1, Value1, Code2, Value2

1-Jan-2006, abc1, 20.00, xyz3, 35.00

2-Jan-2006, abc1, 30.00, xyz5, 6.30

into the following output format (to be loaded into a SQL DB):

Date, Code, Value

1-Jan-2006, abc1, 20.00

1-Jan-2006, xyz3, 35.00

2-Jan-2006, abc1, 30.00

2-Jan-2006, xyz5, 6.30

I'm quite new to SSIS, so, I would appreciate detailed steps if possible. Thanks.

Combine Data Into One Row, Add Columns
Hey guys,

I realize I've posted something like this before, but i'm confused how to do something new, what I am trying to do is combine rows of data when certain columns equal one another.

For example, I have to sets of data who have in common the columns ctp_code and a mod_code (they are the same) however they have two other columns called billing_amt and amount_owed that need to be added together (literally taking the data and doing the math, so 100.00 + 100.00 = 200.00)

Code:

id ctp_code mod_code billing_amt amount_owed
1 1 1 100.00 100.00
2 1 1 100.00 100.00

My results should be this:

Code:

id ctp_code mod_code billing_amt amount_owed
1 1 1 200.00 200.00

Any help, thoughts?

Query: Two Columns With Same Data
Hi,
I have 3 tables:
Table SLA: SLA_code, SLA_name
Table industry: Industry_code, Industry_name
Table14: SLA_code_origin, SLA_code_destination, Industry_code, Freq

I would like to query to get in one table:
SLA_name for DESTINATION, Industry_name, Freq

Note: SLA_code contains the same codes as SLA_code_origin and SLA_code_destination. All are the same codes in column oringin means the From point and colum destination the To point.

How can I query to get the Freq and Industry for those destination SLAs?

I have make a relationship between:
Table SLA.SLA_code with Table14.SLA_code_destination and
Table_industry.Industry_code with Table14.Industry_code

But I am not sure if just a
SELECT SLA.SLA_name, Industry.Industry_name, Table14.Freq
FROM SLA, Industry, Table14
would select the SLA_destination and not the SLA_origin.

Thanks very much in advance,

Maria

Data From Different Columns For One Column
Hi,

I have a tabel called "Daily" which has 5 columns, "TesterID", "Activity", "Hours Given", "Hours Used", "Delta".
The data for "TesterID" and "Hours Given" columns are taken from a table called "Tester".
Data for columns "Activity" and "Hours Used" taken from table called ALD.
"Delta" column is the difference between Hours Given and Hours Used.
For "Hours Given" in table "Daily", the data source should change every 12 hours.
For Monday-Friday Mornings, "Hours Given" should read data from "Tester.Weekdays_day" and for Monday-Friday Nights it should read data from "Tester.Weekdays_Night" and for Saturday-Sunday Mornings it should read from "Tester.Weekend_Day" and for Saturday-Sunday Nights it should read from "Tester.Weekdays_Night" .

How to do that? Please Help. Thank you.

Combining Data From Two Columns
Basically what I am doing is uploading inventory information from our point of sale/inventory management software into our website. I have a third party app that does most of the work for me but I need a view of our item table in our POS that this 3rd party software will use as the data source for what gets uploaded into the web. I have created the view with the following sql statement:
CREATE VIEW dbo.vwsfwebitemswine
AS
SELECT dbo.Item.*, dbo.Category.Name AS CategoryName, dbo.Department.Name AS DepartmentName
FROM dbo.Item INNER JOIN
dbo.Category ON dbo.Item.CategoryID = dbo.Category.ID INNER JOIN
dbo.Department ON dbo.Item.DepartmentID = dbo.Department.ID
WHERE (dbo.Item.DepartmentID = 7) AND (dbo.Item.WebItem = 1)

As you can see I am pulling from 3 tables. Item, Category and Department so that I can get the actual category and department names not just their numeric ID codes referenced in the standalone item table. The view data looks like this:

UPC â€¦.. CategoryName DepartmentName
12345â€¦.. MerlotWine
34556â€¦.. ChadonnayWine
Etcâ€¦

What I need is an additional column created that combines the DepartmentName column values with the CategoryName column values and includes a ~ in between like this.

UPC â€¦.. CategoryName DepartmentName Combined
12345â€¦.. MerlotWine Wine~Merlot
34556â€¦.. ChardonnayWineWine~Chardonnay
Etcâ€¦

Iâ€™m not a SQL expert by any stretch. Iâ€™ve gotten this far using this forum but Iâ€™m stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Select Data From Top N Columns
Suppose you have table with many columns and often you need data from first 15 or 20 columns. In that case you have to specify all the columns in your select statement. This procedure will select top N columns you want. All you have to do is to supply table name and number of columns you want

Here is the procedure

Create procedure TopNcolumns (@tableName varchar(100),@n int)
as
Declare @s varchar(2000)
set @s=''
If exists(Select * from information_Schema.tables where table_name=@tablename and table_type='Base Table')
Begin
If @n>=0
Begin
set rowcount @n
Select @s=@s+','+ column_name from information_schema.columns
where table_name=@tablename order by ordinal_position
Set rowcount 0
Set @s=substring(@s,2,len(@s)-1)
Exec('Select '+@s+' from '+@tablename)
End
else
Select 'Negative values are not allowed' as Error
End
else
Select 'Table '+@tableName+' does not exist' as Error

Need A Way To Switch Specific Data From Columns
Basically I have 635k records in a table with a person's first name, and date of birth (other stuff but it's not relavent). I imported all the data from excel files, but somehow a bunch of records got the first name and date of birth mixed up, so I'm trying to write a stored procedure that would switch the first name with the date of birth wherever the firstname is purely numeric, or something of the sort. Now records are in fact repeated so another possible but more time taking solution is to write a stored procedure that I give the date of birth and it does the switching around for the respective date of birth when it's found inside the First name. Any suggestions? All the code I've written has proved useless :/

Loading Data Into Columns 75 - N In Tables?
I'm having a very irritating time trying to migrate data from a COBOL system to SQL Server.

One of the A/R Master files has approx. 200 columns.

I can export this file any number of ways that will (sometimes) load partially into my database, but always when the load succeeds, columns 75 through N simply contain NULL, even though there is data in the file. When the load fails in DTS, the error is always missing column delimiter. Using BULK INSERT the error is always something like data too long at column 75.

Putting all this together, I have deduced that something isn't working if I try
to load a staging table with more than 74 columns of data. This seems like a way-too-low threshold for a robust database, especially since SQL Server is supposed to be able to handle up to 1,024 columns per table.

Has anyone ever encountered this problem?

Thanks in advance for any help
