Can A Result Set From SQL Script Task Be Used As A Source For Data Flow Task?
Oct 2, 2007
I have a stored procedure that is executed via a sql script task that returns a full result set. I map this result set to a variable or object type. Is there a way to use this variable as a data source in a subsequent data flow task?
Inside a data flow task, i have a oledb source and destination. In my situation, I need to pull data from a table in the source, but also hard code some columns myself, which means my source is a blend of data from table, hard coded data, which will then have to be mapped to columns in oledb destination. Does anyone which option to choose in the oledb source dropdown for the data access mode. Keep in mind, i do need to run a a select query, as well as get data from a table. Is it possible to use multiple oledb sources and connect to one destination, because that is really what intend to do here. I am not sure how it will work, or even if its possible. Basically my source access mode needs to be a blend of sql command and table columns, how would that be implemented? Any help or advice is appreciated.
I am trying to executed a packege so that it loads data from from the excel file to the SQL Server Server database. When I execute it, it prompts the following error message and 1 warning The excel file has three colums, Week, Item and Value

Kindly i need support in this issue, i create task flow import from flat file and store in database but i need to save all result for task into specific table
In many DTS packages I have used parameterised queries for incremental loads from Oracle database sources using the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle.
Now I want to migrate these packages to SSIS, but the OLE DB connection for Oracle does not support parameters.
I cannot use the "SQL command from variable" data access mode because of the 4000 character limitation on the length of string variables and expressions.
Hi, I'm trying to implement an incremental data pull (Oracle to SQL) based on Andy's blog: http://sqlblog.com/blogs/andy_leonard/archive/2007/07/09/ssis-design-pattern-incremental-loads.aspx
My development machine is decent: 1.86 GHz, Intel core 2 CPU, 3 GB of RAM. However it seems the data flow task gets hung whenever I test the package against the ~6 million row source, as can be seen from these screenshots. I have no memory limitations on the lookup transformation. After the rows have been cached nothing happens. Memory for the dtsdebug process hovers around 1.8 GB and it uses 1-6 percent of CPU resources continuously. I am not using fast load to insert new records into my sql target table. (I am right clicking Sequence Container 3 and executing this container NOT the entire package in the screenshots)
The same package works fine against a similar test table with 150k rows. http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg168/boston_sql92/7.jpg http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg168/boston_sql92/8.jpg
The weird thing is it only takes 24 minutes for a full refresh of the entire source table from Oracle to the SQL target table. Any hints,advice would be appreciated.
I have a package that does simple exporting from an excel sheet to a table. I used a Dataflow task with Excel Source and OLEDB Destination Components. And i created Package configurations for Source and Destination Components. After than when i execute the package i get the following error.

How do i use the foreach loop container and pass each file found according to a specified pattern to a Flat File Source in a Data Flow Task Object so i can operate on each file found in the foreach loop object instead of having to specify a static file name
I'm importing a large csv file two different ways - one with Bulk Import Task and the other way with the Data Flow Task (flat file source -> OLE DB destination).
With the Bulk Import Task I'm putting all the csv rows in one column. With the Data Flow Task I'm mapping each csv value to it's own column in the SQL table.
I used two different flat file sources and got the following:
We have a single generic SSIS package that is used to import several hundred iSeries tables into SQL. I am not looking to rewrite the process. But I am looking for ways to improve performance.
I have tried retain same connection, maximum insert commit size, lock table (tablock), removed some large columns, played with the log file location and size, and now I am working to tweak the defaultbuffermaxrows.
To describe the data flow task - there are six data flows tasks (dft)  working at the same time. Each dtf has their own list of iSeries tables and columns and the corresponding generic SQL table names. Each dtf determines their list of tables based on the number of columns to import. So there is dft30 (iSeries table has 1-30 columns to import), dtf60 (iSeries table has 31-60 columns to import), etc. The destination SQL tables are generically called Staging30, Staging60, etc. Each column in the generic Staging tables are varchar(100). The dtfs are comprised of an OLE DB Source and an OLE DB Destination.
The OLE DB Source uses a SQL Command from Variable to build a SELECT statement. The OLE DB Source uses a connection manager that uses an IBM iAccess IBMDA400 provider. The SQL Command ends up looking like this for the dtf30. This specific example is importing from the iSeries table TDACLR and it only has two columns so it will be copied to the Staging30 table.
select TCREAS AS C1,TCDESC AS C2,0 AS C3,0 AS C4,0 AS C5,0 AS C6,0 AS C7,0 AS C8,0 AS C9,0 AS C10,0 AS C11,0 AS C12,0 AS C13,0 AS C14,0 AS C15,0 AS C16,0 AS C17,0 AS C18,0 AS C19,0 AS C20,0 AS C21,0 AS C22,0 AS C23,0 AS C24,0 AS C25,0 AS C26,0 AS C27,0 AS C28,0 AS C29,0 AS C30,''TDACLR'' AS T0 from Store01.TDACLR
The OLD DB Source variable value looks like the following, but I am not showing the full 30 columns
select cast(0 AS varchar(100)) AS C1,cast(0 AS varchar(100)) AS C2,cast(0 AS varchar(100)) AS C3,cast(0 AS varchar(100)) AS C4,cast(0 AS varchar(100)) AS C5, ... cast(0 AS varchar(100)) AS C30.
The OLE DB Destination uses OpenRowSet Using FastLoad From Variable. The insert into Staging30Â ends up looking like this.
Of course we then copy and transform the Staging30 data to the SQL table that equals T0.
But back to defaultbuffermaxrows. Previously the dtfs had default values of 10000 for DefaultBufferMaxRows and 10485760 for DefaultBufferSize. I added a SQL task to SUM the iSeries column sizes, TCREAS and TCDESC in this example, and set the DefaultBufferMaxRows by dividing the SUM of the columns max_length into 10485760. But I did not see a performance improvement. Do you think that redefining the columns as varchar(100) for the insert is significant? Should I possibly SUM the actual number of columns (2) as 2x100 or SUM the 30x100?
I am trying to create a simple BI Application for SSIS. In Visual Studio 2005 I just get a Data Flow Task from the toolbar and add it to the project. When I double click it I get the following error:
The task with the name "Data Flow Task" and the creation name "DTS.Pipeline.1" is not registered for use on this computer.
Then when I try to delete it it gives this other error:
Cannot remove the specified item because it was not found in the specified Collection.
I am creating this application in an administrator account in this computer, so I doubt the problem is related to permissions. I am running SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 in WinXP Tablet PC Edition.
Any suggestions why this is happening and how to fix it?
I am using SQL 2005 SSIS. I am joining several large tables and then the move result into another table in the same database.
I would like know which method is faster:
Use Execute SQL Task to insert the result set to the target table
Use the Data Flow Task to insert the result set to the target table. (Use OLE DB source to execute SQL command and then use the SQL destination) Could you tell me why then other is slower?
I have a table that I'm loading as part of a control flow that in turn is copied to a target table by using a data flow task. I am doing this because a different set of fields may be used from the source entry to create the target entry based on a field in the source table. That same field may indicate that multiple entries need to be created in the target table from one source table entry for which I use a multi-cast transformation.
The problem I'm having is that no matter how many entries there are in the source table, the OLE DB Source during execution only shows 7,532 entries being taken from the source table. If there are less than 7,532 entries in the source table, everything processes fine. More than 7,532 and the data flow task only takes 7,532 and then seems to hang. It also seems as though only one path of the multi-cast transformation is taken when the conditional split directs a source entry down that path.
Seems like a strange problem I know, but any insight anyone could provide is appreciated. Thanks.
I'm trying to get a record count out of a databse using OLE DB Source and row count tasks but keep getting an error. I set up a variable as int32 and select the variable name in the row count task and when I go to the Input Columns tab to select a field to count, it gives me this error:
Error at Data Flow Task[Row Count[505]]: The component "Row Count" (505) has forbidden the requested use of the input column with lineage ID 32.
I created a package with SQL 2005. The package gets the Access DB and then inserts it into SQL Server.
If I open the package in .NET, I can see the SQL Task and Data Flow Task. The SQL Task has a property sqlstatementsource, which has the necxessary SQL code to create the tables.
How can I tell the SQL Task to recompile the SQL code if I give it another DB name, because the tables differ and don't map in the Data Flow Task
I have an application like fetching records from the DataBase(MS Access 2000) and results i have to use in Script Task. At present i have used the record fetching query,connection string in Script itself. I would like to use in Independently. Is there any Tools like (Control Flow Tools like Execute SQL Task) are there to fetch the result set from Acccess and can use the fetching results in Script Task....
In the Control flow tab, I have an Execute SQL Task that outputs full Result set into a variable of an object type. Now how can I write the contents of the Full Result Set into a text file using Script Task. I also want to format the following way while I output into a file:
Column Name 1 : Column Value
Column Name 2: Column Value and so on
I tried writing the contents of the Object Variable into a file, but the file had an output of single word: System.__ComObject.
Code for Writing the Full Result Set into a Text File
Dim RSsqloutput as String = Dts.Variables("objVariable").Value.ToString
Dim strVal as String = "File completed on " & Now() & vbCrLf & "------------------------------------------------------" & vbCrLf
I have a table which has been loaded from various source feeds. The SourceId relates to the source name and the SourceCompanyId is the sources primary key for the company. I am basically trying to create one row with all the SourceCompanyIds in my column headers. What data flow tasks would be necessary in SSIS?
I am new to SSIS. I need some help in designing the below dataflow task.
-- Teacher creates several tasks and each task is assigned to multiple students -- The teacher table contains contains all the tasks created a every teacher use ods go create table teacher ( yr int, tid int, tname varchar(20), taskid int
)
insert into teacher values(2007,101,'suraj','task1') insert into teacher values(2007,101,'suraj','task2') insert into teacher values(2007,102,'bharat','task3')
insert into teacher values(2007,103,'paul','task4') insert into teacher values(2007,103,'paul','task5') insert into teacher values(2007,103,'paul','task6')
-- Teacher "suraj" has created 2 tasks -- Teacher "bharat" has created 1 task
select * from ods..teacher yr tid tname taskid ============================ 2007 101 suraj 1111 2007 101 suraj 1122 2007 102 bharat 2222
-- Students table contains studentid(sid),teacherid(i,e tid ) & taskid drop table students
create table students ( yr int, sid varchar(10), tid int, taskid varchar(10) )
truncate table students
insert into students values(2007,'stud1',101,'task1') insert into students values(2007,'stud1',101,'task2')
insert into students values(2007,'stud2',101,'task1') insert into students values(2007,'stud2',101,'task2')
--Note : stud1,stud2 comes under teacher with tid "101"
insert into students values(2007,'stud3',102,'task3')
-- Note : stud3 and stud4 comes under teacher with tid "102"
insert into students values(2007,'stud4',103,'task4') insert into students values(2007,'stud4',103,'task5') insert into students values(2007,'stud4',103,'task6')
insert into students values(2007,'stud5',103,'task4')
select * from students yr sid tid taskid ---------------------------- 2007 stud1 101 task1 2007 stud1 101 task2
Now in my target table i need to load the data in a such a way that
use targetdb go drop table trg go
create table trg ( yr int, -- data should load from teacher.yr tid int, taskid int(20), cnt int
)
Mapping in target column and value to be loaded ================================================== yr -- teacher.yr tid -- teacher.id taskid -- this need to start a new sequence of numbers starting from 1 for each teacher and dont want the task id to be copied as it is. cntofstudents -- need to count no of students from "students" table for a given teacher and for his assignment
For example for teacherid "101" and taskid "task1" there are 2 students again for the same teacher "101" and taskid "task2" there are 2 students
For teacher "102" and taskid "task3" there is only 1 student
Similary for teacher "103"
Relation ========
Teacher table | Students Table yr | yr tid | tid
After i run the ETL the data should look as follows :
insert into trg values(2007,101,1,2) insert into trg values(2007,101,2,2)
insert into trg values(2007,102,1,1)
insert into trg values(2007,103,1,2) -- task4 is created by teacher "103" and assigned to 2 students stud4 and stud5 insert into trg values(2007,103,2,1) -- task5 is created by teacher "103" and assigned to 1 student i.e stud4 insert into trg values(2007,103,3,1) -- task6 is created by teacher "103" and assigned to 1 student i.e stud5
Note : If u observer the values in 3rd column of the trg table, instead of directly mapping the taskid we need to generate a separate sequence for every teacher.
BottomLine : for each and every task created by each teacher there should be a unique record along with the count of students in "STUDENTS" table
Can anyone help me out in designing the Data Flow task for this Functionality.
Hi there. I'm trying to learn SSIS, please, help me. I have 2 questions:
1) There are 2 databases on 2 different servers. I need to get data from Table1(database1) and put it to Table2(database2). But I have to insert rows, which ID is not exists in Table2. How Can I do necessary filter?
2) In the OLE DB DataSource Component I have used SQL Command(it's simplified):
declare @TmpTable TABLE (WorkCode int not null);
INSERT INTO @TmpTable (WorkCode) select WorkCode from Table1
SELECT WorkCode FROM @TmpTable
SSIS Package works without any exception. But there is no any inserted record in destination table. If I try similar query without temporary table - it works good. Why?
I have SQL Server 2005 Express edition on my machine. On an SSIS project in BIDS, when i drag a "Data Flow Task" to the package it returns the following error:
The designer could not be initialized. (Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Design)
Does this has anything to do with the fact that i don't have SSIS installed on my machine?
I thought that SSIS was only needed (on my machine) for the runtime, just to run the packages. To create and edit the pachages i need to install SSIS on my machine too? this doesn't makes sense, maybe it's another problem.
I am having problems with the Data Flow task. It does not even show up in the list of items to drop into the SSIS project.
If I go to the Data Flow tab and hit create, I get the follow error. I have tried repairing and reinstalling, but nothing seems to clear up the error. Without rebuilding my machine, is there anyone who knows how to get the Data Flow Task reinstalled properly?
Thanks
Wayne

I have a simple data flow task setup... 2 ADO.NET connection managers, each referencing a DSN pointed to a Unidata database. 2 DataReader sources, each using a single ADO.NET connection managers, running a simple SELECT statement from a table. I have a Union All transform setup to merge the data and write to a OLE DB Destination (SQL05 database)
When I run the package, each source will validate, but only one will execute. The other source will do nothing. The data source will be colored yellow, and will just sit there. The package will just sit, almost like it is waiting for input.
This behavior is not consistent, however. It varies which data source will hang, pretty much 50-50. About 25% of the time, both sources will execute, and all rows will be written to the destination.
I have a Windows XP X64 machine with SQL 2005 Developer and VS 2005 Team Edition for Architects on it. For the most part it appears that all normal VS and SQL functions are working properly with the exception of SSIS. If I open the developer studio and drag a Data Flow Task onto the design surface I get the message below. I have tried doing an unistall and reinstall of Integration Services as well as a repair on VS 2005 with no success. I've searched the web and newsgroups and can't find any mention of the problem I'm having. Any help greatly appreciated.
I wanna know if we can have more than one "OLEDB Destination" within a Data Flow Task, I want to use the same data flow and write to two different tables in a database with some changes. If we cannot do this within the same data flow what is the best way to do this.
How can I debug data flow task. From this article (http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3567961) and this video (http://www.jumpstarttv.com/Media.aspx?vid=3) I found that when we are executing the task, the data count will be shown along with color coded task but when I debug the package, no count is shown. I have SQL and source and flat file as destination. There is nothing stored in the destination file but the sql script returns the data.
I was working all day making changes to my 3MB package. I was adding a large number of transforms that were copied-and-pasted from elsewhere in the same data flow task.
All was going well. I even took the time to have SSIS lay out the task again (1/2 hour). Suddenly I started receiving some strange errors:
After the layout, I noticed two stray components 'way off in the upper right corner. I found that one of them had a duplicate name to a component which had been added hours ago. Even after deleting it, I got "duplicate name" errors.
I copied three components in one selection, and when I tried to paste them, got the error "can't initialize component on paste". I tried them one at a time, but got the same error.
I got errors about COM failures due to marshalling to another thread I then exited Visual Studio and started it again. To my great surprise, the data flow task I was working on was still there, but was completely empty.
Comparing what I'm left with to my last version in source control, I find that the entire pipeline element is missing from the DTS: ObjectData element!
I'm developing a real love/hate relationship with SSIS. It varies from one day to the next. Guess what kind of day this is!

I'm creating an SSIS package, a Data Flow Task. I have used OLEDB Source connected to a SQL Server Destination. Now in my OLEDB Source, I have this SQL statement
SELECT FirstName, LastName, Age FROM Employees WHERE (Age > 10) AND (Age < 95)
But what I want is to have the last name and first name concatenated and in proper case(capitalize first letter of the firstname and surname). I also want to TRIM or remove the blank spaces of the field in my SQL statement. How I be able to do this?
I tried using proper(), trim() and ucase() like in MSAccess but no success.
Hi, Is there a way to accomplish one- many or many -one or many - many column mappings in the SSIS data flow task or using any other tasks. We were able to do this in DTS Transform data task. Also is it possible to edit the mapping like: dest column1 = Right(dest column1, 3)
