Can I Implement A File System With SQL Server Similar To Oracle Content Services?
Apr 29, 2008
I need to implement a file system for an application that allows me to roll back to a point in time. I can do this with either a journaling file system (Unix based such as JFS) or with a database file system such as Oracle Internet File system (now Oracle Content Services). I would MUCH prefer to use SQL Server but cannot find anything that supports this other than a 2000 ppt referencing the then up and coming SQL Server .NET File System.
The application(s) in question are older and store data in proprietary data files and need to access a local (or mapped) drive in standard form (d:programsmyprogram).
Does SQL Server 2005 or 2008 support this type of access? I have searched but cannot find anything to support this.
Hello,I work for an attorney staff, so basically the whole day they aresending themselves a lot and a lot of papers (Word docs or Excellsheets).We are going to propose them the use of a Document Exchange andDatabase System (like Lotus Notes or Oracle Managment Content,formerly known as Internet File System IFS ) with .NET interfazes.Basically the idea is that instead of sending papers the whole day,they can use a software to check and manage more quickly theirdocuments.We are looking for a system that allows us to manage:- Security- Versioning- Folders- Check-in/Check-out- Workflow- Search and Retrieval- Extensible MetadataMy question is:1) Is there any Microsoft tool who can help us to achieve that(management of codes, dates, text, names of documents- I mean like aDocument Exchange and Database System) with .NET interface?2) Or do we have to built it from scratch?Thank you very much!Jorge
This delete's the directory content as well as sub directory content! Is their a way i can just set it to delete the files in the said directory and not sub directories?
I now want to merge those single records, which follow a pattern. For the above case this would be Row 1+2+3, so the result should be:
Row Leg-ID From To On DateFrom DateTo DOW 1 ABC123 AAA BBB CCC 01JAN15 14JAN15 1 3 ABC123 XXX YYY ZZZ 14JAN15 14JAN15 1
The pattern is, that the legs from Row 1 and 2 have identical attributes (Leg-ID, From, To, On, DOW) and are on consecutive weeks on the same weekday. I was doing this through a while-look:
check if there is a record matching the following week (a.DateTo = dateadd(d, 7, b.DateFrom))if there is a match, then update the previous week record DateTo with the following week DateFromdelete the following week record but this is very slow, for 50T rows it runs approx. 6 hrs to shrink everything..
In oracle, I can setup a sequence generating unique ids and query the next value (which is used as a unique identifer). I know sql server has the identity field but I need to query the next val so I can insert rows into multiple tables. When a user submits a form, I want to take the dept info from the form (in c# asp.net 2.0) and grab the first two characters. Then query the next val from a table that holds an int.. During insert into two tables it would be something like "IT100" or "SL101". But it needs to be unique. Is there a way to setup a table in sql server similar to a sequence where I can just query the next val (or some other way?). Remember, I cant do this as identity because I need the key being inserted in other tables during form submit. It seems very simple but I can't seem to find an answer online that allows me to query the next val in my code then perform the multiple inserts. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can lend on this, dev1aspnet
In SQL Server I've created a linked server to an Oracle database. I am trying to insert (within the context of an sql server table trigger) an SQL Server datetime to an Oracle column with similar precision. Oracle timestamps are not compatible with sql server datetimes and I don't know how to convert the data (or if I should use a different type of column to store the data in Oracle). I have full control over the structure of the Oracle table so I can use a different type if timestamp is not best, but I need the destination column to have at least the same precision as the sql server datetime value. What is the easiest way to do this?
I'm copying files to a folder with the naming convention as follows in the source folder:
CM_ABC_MY_TEST.txt
In the destination folder, this filename needs to appear as:
CM_XYZ_MY_TEST.txt
In my File System Task, I'm pretty sure I'm going to need an expression with a replace, substring, etc. But am having a hard time nailing down the exact syntax.
This is the code for calculating a formula field in Crystal Reports. I want to implement the same in Sql Server Reporting Services.. But it doesn't have the feature of For Loop.... The strings started with @ are formula fields.... Can anyone tell me, how can the below code be implemented in Sql Server Reporting Services
numbervar YR; for YR := 1 to {@CalcFiscalAge} step 1 do ( IF YR = {@CalcLifeCode} +1 then locFactor1 := 1; exit for; IF (YR = 1 OR YR = {@CalcFiscalAge}) THEN HALF_YEAR := 2 ELSE HALF_YEAR := 1 ; LINEAR := ROUND(REM/ ({@CalcLifeCode}-YR+1.5)/HALF_YEAR,4); MACR := ROUND(REM / {@CalcLifeCode}*{@CalcSRate}/HALF_YEAR,4); IF MACR >= LINEAR then DEP := MACR ELSE DEP := LINEAR; locFactor1 := locFactor1 + DEP ; REM := 1 - locFactor1; locFactor := locFactor1; );
I have created a File System task which is contained in a Foreach Loop Container. I have .bak files that are populating a directory from a maintenance backup plan.
There is a point where I need to delete the .bak file's after I've zipped them all up.
How do I set the SourceVariable to read through the directory and pick up just the .bak file's in the directory to delete.
I am trying to create and later read a data file from a package deployed in SSISDB, but it is not reading it while it is successfully creating the file. The same package when run from the file system package, runs successfully. Generating ispac and deploying in SSISDB is running for infinite time. Is it a permission issue?
Hi all, I have a table with the list of tables I need to drop. So basically before droping those tables I need to disable the FK and PK constraints. So I want to spool out the out of this script. SELECT 'ALTER TABLE ' + QUOTENAME( c.TABLE_NAME ) + ' NOCHECK CONSTRAINT ' + QUOTENAME( c.CONSTRAINT_NAME ) AS ALTER_SCRIPT FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS AS c WHERE CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'FOREIGN KEY'
Is there a way to store the output of this script in a .sql file so that I could execute it. Any thoughts will help! Thank you!
Hello,On our corporate website, we will be using email notifications forvarious things. I would like for our marketing guy to be able to editthe email templates over the web so that I don't have to keep updatingthem myself for every little change. I want to store the templateswithin the database (since they will be small). The templates will beHTML based and not more than a few thousand bytes in length. Should Iuse a VARCHAR or VARBINARY, or what? I would assume VARCHAR, but I'mnot sure.Thanks,Will
We manage some SSIS servers, which has only SSIS and SSIS tools installed on them and not the sql server DB.
SSIS packages and configuration files are deployed on a NAS. We run the SSIS packages through DTEXEC by logging in to the server.
We want to allow developers to run their packages on their own on the server, but at the same time we dont want to give them physical access on the server i.e we do not want to add them into RDP users list on server properties. We want them to allow running their packages remotely on the server.
One way We could think of is by using powershell remoting and we are working on that. But is there any other way or any tool already present for the same.
I have to copy a large (3000) amount of different tables from a Oracle machine into an SQLServer machine. I am able to do this using a (VB) script. I use now several methods:
1) INSERT INTO TABLE1 SELECT * FROM SID1..DB.TABLE1 (SID1 is a linked server)
2) INSERT INTO TABLE1 SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(SID1,'SELECT * FROM DB.TABLE1')
3) Also used OPENROWSET method (similar to 2)
For small tables this is fine, however for BIG tables (15M Rows/150Cols) the methods above are too slow. If I compare the same copy action with a simple DTS, the DTS is 3 times faster. Also, the DTS seems to bulk copy the data directly into the desired database while the mentioned methods first fill the tempdb, then the transaction log of the desired database and then finally the desired table (need very much extra space on your filesystem). The total size of data is about 300GB.
Can anyone supply me with a simple example how to copy data from an Oracle table into a SQLServer table in script (or SQL) that is as fast as the DTS and not filling my logfiles?? I read the bcp (which I use for import/export files) and bulk insert commands, but I do not understand how to use them in this question.
I have a doubt in file system deployment in ssis. I read msdn articles like "MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml" will decide the default folder for ssis packages those are deployed to "File System".
I have installed SQL server 2012 of 64 bit in my system. My "MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml" file was reside in the path"C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server110DTSBinn". This means when we try to deploy my packages to File System default path should come like "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server110DTSPackages".
But in my case path was coming like "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server100DTSPackages" even though my "MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml" reside in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server110DTSBinn". i can't able to see my packages in SSMS when i connected to integration services.
We deployed the ssis package to SQL server and now trying to configure but it only allow use to change environmental variables there is no option to browse and select XML configuration file. Does this mean when you are using SQL server deployment mode u can only use environmental variable ?
We run std 2008 r2. When I deploy and run a pkg from the catalog, how can I get that flat file system log we always instructed ssis to write to when we ran from the command line? I believe it was the /L param . Not sure at this point if i'll use sql agent or somehow employ task scheduler to kick off the pkg.
I have around 500 packages (SQL 2005) deployed in file system & all this packages are running on daily basis via SQL agent. Now I need to migrated all 500 packages into SQL server 2008 R2.
There is no inventory to track which package belogs to which team and any other information.
Now, I need a method to query the pakages connection string details with database respective. Is there any method?
during period of troubles connecting to Local Servers and Sites location i.e., to [URL], the place where all Reports are saved by default, I have continued to work on some Reports that have been saved to file system of my localhost/developing machine. But, upon recovery of http location, I can not see/open those files?
how to approach those files in order to open them in Report Builder 3.0 and thus, to "save as" them to the http location? Seems that Report Builder has chosen that location, by default, somehow.....
I attempted to use Move Directory to move the contents of one directory to another. I encountered the 'different volume' issue that others have experienced. While this error is frustrating I can work past this particular issue. My more pressing question is why is the move directory command overwriting a destination directory? When I setup the Move directory file task I provided two vars to hold src and dest location:
dest var: estserveroutput src var: devserverdev estfiles Set overwrite destination = TRUE
Why would Move Directory overwrite output folder at destination? Shouldn't it only overwrite if the testfiles directory exists at destination? This is very frustrating since I cannot find enough information in the official documentation to understand what is happening here.
Is it just me or does the documentation for Move directory seem.....incomplete?
I am able to run SSIS packages as SQL Server Agent jobs with a Control Flow items "File system task", if I move a file (test.txt) from a drive (c on the server (where SQL Agent jobs run) to a subdirectory on the same drive. But, if I try to move a file on a network drive, the package fail.
Historically I've always written a VB script to copy a file from a sharepoint library. I don't like this method because I have to input a username & password in the script and maintain a config file.
Yesterday I was playing around with using a file system task. The sharepoint file has a UNC path so why not? I created a simple test package with a single file system task that copies the sharepoint file (addressed via UNC) to another network location. Package runs fine locally.
I try running on our utility server but am getting a "The file name [SHAREPOINT UNC PATH] specified in the connection was not valid" error. Package is running with a proxy on the server and the proxy account has the same permissions to the sharepoint site (so far as I can tell) as me.
it is taken from SQL2K5 SP2 readme.txt. Anyone have idea what to do to implement this ? Our sp2 is failing. we suspect the above problem and researching it.we are running on default instance of SQL2K5 on win2003 ent sp2
"When you apply SP2, Setup upgrades system databases. If you have implemented restrictions on the ALTER DATABASE syntax, this upgrade may fail. Restrictions to ALTER DATABASE may include the following:
Explicitly denying the ALTER DATABASE statement.
A data definition language (DDL) trigger on ALTER DATABASE that rolls back the transaction containing the ALTER DATABASE statement.
If you have restrictions on ALTER DATABASE, and Setup fails to upgrade system databases to SP2, you must disable these restrictions and then re-run Setup."
I would like to know what is the use of business key? Is it necessary to have unique key between source and destination? If no, How can we implement SCD?
PS : My source is CSV files and Destination is Oracle DB?
I have an 19 gig database that somehow has a 100gig log file. The DB MUST BE in full recovery mode, I backup the transaction logs EVERY hour and shrink nightly. but for some reason my logfile WILL NOT SHRINK.
HELP,
I've used both the DBCC Shrinkfile (xxxxxx) and DBCC ShrinkDatabase (xxxxx) and these don't seem to work. I Have No current backup, I have Not capacity for addtional 100 gig worth of backup drive or off-site tape.
