Hi.
I need to give my customer an sql file that they can run in query analyzer.
All the stuff they need to run is in a set of existing files.
I'd like to just tell them to load this file (this is oracle syntax):
@file1.sql
@file2.sql
@file3.sql
is there some way of calling these files (that are in the same dir) from a
master sql file?
Thanks

Help! Surely this has happened to others before me. A new customer wants to send updates in a fixed-width txt file in which master and detail rows alternate.
How do you do this?
Do you:
1) Painfully muck around with 100,000 rows in the .txt file first--split it into 2 files, one for master records and one for detail records and then process? If so, what do you use? I'd probably hack at it with a VB Script module in a DTS package.
or
2) Is there a way to feed it into 2 tables where rows starting with x go to one table and rows starting with y go to another?
The plan was to use a fast and dirty DTS package to shove this stuff into a table (probably 2 but we might just toss the stuff we don't need and put in in one) but I'd like some advice on how to proceed.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Hi!
I'm loading from Oracle using the OraOLEDB.Oracle.1 provider since I need unicode support and I get the following error:
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio
------------------------------
Error at myTask [DTS.Pipeline]: The "output column "myColumn" (9134)" has a precision that is not valid. The precision must be between 1 and 38.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0204018 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)
------------------------------
BUTTONS:
OK
------------------------------
For most of my queries to Oracle I can cast the columns to get rid of the error (CAST x AS DECIMAL(10) etc), but this does not work for:
1) Union
I have a select like "SELECT NVL(myColumn, 0) .... FROM myTable UNION SELECT 0 AS myColumn, .... FROM DUAL"
Even if I cast the columns in both selects (SELECT CAST(NVL(myColumn, 0) AS DECIMAL(10, 0) .... UNION SELECT CAST(0 AS DECIMAL(10, 0)) AS myColumn, .... FROM DUAL) I still get the error above.
2) SQL command from variable
The select basically looks like this:
"SELECT Column1, Column2, ... FROM myTable WHERE Updated BETWEEN User::LastLoad AND User::CurrentLoad"
Again, even if I cast all columns (like in the union), I still get the same error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hi.I'm a casual sql user. I have found a situation where I need to convert anoracle statement to tsql, one I can just fire off in any sql tool against anms sql server database.I studied the exists statement and I think I understand it somewhat, however Iwas not sure how to get it quite right. If you have an idea and a minute ortwo I'd appreciate any insight or tutorial.insert into authorization (program, optiontitle, usergroup, authorizationid)select 'EVERYWHERE','NAVIGATOR',usergroup, authorizationseq.nextvalfrom allgroups where exists (select * from authorizationwhere authorization.USERGROUP = allgroups.USERGROUP andauthorization.optiontitle = 'READ' and authorization.program = 'EVERYWHERE')I believe that because in my data, three values of usergroup from allgroupsreturn true from the exists, that this is supposed to insert three rows intoauthorization.But I can't figure out what to do about the authorization.nextval.. I triedvarious max(authorization)+1etc but nothing seemed to compile/workthanksJeff Kish

Hi all,
I'ld like to get the last record inserted into my DB. In oracle I use:
select * from <tabella>
where rowid = (select max(rowid) from <tabella>.
It is an equivalent of rowid in MS SQL?
Thanx

Haii Friends,
Is there any equivalent for Oracle's NEXT_DAY function in sqlserver.I need it for the following query...
SELECT NEXT_DAY( SYSDATE ,'THURSDAY') FROM DUAL;
ur Help in this regard is really appreciated....

I need to know the SQL Server equivalent for the below Oracle query :
select t.* from table(cast(c1.table1 as create_type_of_table))
The above query will be used in PL/SQLs in ORACLE.
What is the SQL Server equivalent for the above query ?
All,Oracle 9i provides a "USING" clause option for inner joins, thatallows me to say:SELECT * FROM TBL1 JOIN TBL2 USING KeyColumnassuming KeyColumn is in both TBL1 and TBL2. This is HIGHLY desirablefor our software make use of, but we also support SQL Server. Thereis no USING option available, andSELECT * FROM TBL1 JOIN TBL2 ON TBL1.KeyColumn = TBL2.KeyColumncauses an ambiguous column error on KeyColumn.Is there any equivalent to this Oracle functionality on SQL Server?KingGreg
View 7 Replies View RelatedIs there an equivalent to Oracle's ROWNUM in SQL Server. ROWNUM, when added to a select statement as a column - the query would return an automatic counter, numbering each row returned.

Is there something equivalent to the MINUS in ORacle ?
Or a workaround ?
thanks
Hi,
Can any one tell me is there anything in SQL Server thats equivalent
to Oracle's ROWNUM.
Note that the Identity Property or TOP n will not solve my problem.
I want to asign a sequence no. to each row when its being fetched.
For example if in the emp table there are 2000 rows and I write
the following query in Oracle ,
SELECT rownum , empno, empname FROM emp Where rownum < =3
I get the result like this
Rownum----Empno--------------Empname
------------------------------------------
1-----------2345---------------ABCD
2-----------3334---------------EFGH
3-----------4484---------------IJKL
I know I can limit the output rows in SQL Server by using TOP n. But
I also want to generate a sequence no. The identity property of SQL Server
will not be usefull here because my actaul WHERE clause will be more
complex like WHERE resigndate = '01-jan-2004'
Thanks

Hi,
Kindly give the SQL Server equivalent for the below Oracle query :
select *from t1, t2, t3 where
t1.t1col1 (+) = t2.t2col1 and
t2.t2col1 (+) = t3.t3col1
Thanks,

The syntax for Oracle's INSTR function is
instr (string1, string2, [start_position], [nth_appearance])
string1 is the string to search.
string2 is the substring to search for in string1.
start_position is the position in string1 where the search will start. This argument is optional. If omitted, it defaults to 1. The first position in the string is 1. If the start_position is negative, the function counts back start_position number of characters from the end of string1 and then searches towards the beginning of string1.
nth_appearance is the nth appearance of string2. This is optional. If omiited, it defaults to 1.
In SQL Server, we are having CHARINDEX and PATINDEX functions. But they will not accept the fourth paremeter (nth_appearance)
Do anybody know the solution for this ????
Hi
I want to know the equivalent of the Oracle translate function in SQL Server.
eg : select translate('entertain', 'et', 'ab') from dual.
I tried the SQL Server Replace function , but it replaces only one character or a sequence of character and not each occurrence of each of the specified characters given in the second argument i.e 'et'.
Please let me know if there is some other equivalent function in SQL Server
thanks.

We have an install of SQL MDS 2016 CTP3 which I can access via the web browser and create models etc. Â I have uninstalled the Excel add-in for 2012 and installed the MDS 2016 CTP3 add-in on Excel 2010. Â I am able to create a MDS connection and the "Test" reports success in Excel.
However, when I try to connect to a model via the Master Data Explorer to load an entity, Excel hangs with the message "Loading objects for xxxx_Model". Â My only option is to close Excel via the Task Manager. Â
Where do I look for more detailed logs? Â Is there a switch I can use to provide a better debugging experience?
Well, I have a SSIS package loading data from SSIS raw file without any transformations.
My concern is its taking hell lots of time to load the data (simple source à target )
How can I improve the load speed when my target is oracle?
Its talking 9 min to load 67000 records.

I have other tables which have 2-3mm records
I€™m very much concerned about the performance.
Please help me out.
Thank you
We run 2012 enterprise. When I open my project on a different machine than the one I used to create the project, I get the following warnings. I'm concerned about 1) checking in source from different machines, 2) what is going to happen when we run this in production. All of the project params are sensitive=false and required = true. The master package stageprototype.dtproj has no pkg params and no configs.Â
The project's protection level is encryptsensitivewith user key but as far as i know there is nothing sensitive in this collection of master and sub packages. I'm concerened that id I change this to dont save sensitive, I'll be looking for a needle in a haystack, specifically the thing or things ssis thinks are sensitive right now.

Hi All,
We are considering loading oracle datawarehouse using SSIS as ETL. I would like to know the experiences of the team in doing the same. Please share your experiences on this.
Thanks,
S Suresh
Ok, we have built a data mart using SSIS etc...for transformations and loading.
Our biggest single problem we have currently is loading data from an Oracle server to our SQL server. Some tables from oracle run fine when retrieving the data but there is one particular table that just doesn't load fast enough (9 million records take over 12 hours). It seems that we are idling alot and its not always running.
Can anyone help with this problem?
