First I want to thank everyone that has given help to me and everyone else with the issues involving migrating to 2005... Thanks alot..
Now for the problem. I am looking for (an not finding anything of help) to check the date of a file on an ftp server. A file always exists but once a month the day changes. I would just download the file and check it locally but the files are several hundred megs in size so that would be inefficient.
So is there anyway to do that??
On another note, can anyone point me to a good resource for learning the scripting language that SSIS uses??
I need to set up create a package so that I could check the date of the files posted in a folder, e.g. H:source. If there is no file created later than one day exists, then continue to check again one hour later. If files do exists, then copy then to c:dest and then upzip the files. Once this is done, sent an notification email to user@mydomain.com.
Hi, ppleI am trying to check dates. I tried something like this but it doesn't work. Dim strarray As Array Try Dim my As New Database my.OpenConn() Dim d As SqlDataReader Dim dr2 As SqlDataReader d = my.ExecuteQuery("Select lastLogin, ID from Student") While d.Read Dim ld As DateTime = d("lastLogin") If ld > FormatDateTime(Now) Then strarray() = strarray() + d("ID") End If End While d.Close() dr2 = my.ExecuteQuery("Insert into Audit (auditID, ID, auditMsg, updatedDate) values ('200','20','" & strarray() & "','" & FormatDateTime(Now) & "');") dr2.Close() my.CloseConn() Catch x As Exception Debug.WriteLine(x) End Try
i'm trying to write this script that check my database file and log size(in MB) and insert them into a table.i need the following columns dbid,dbname,compatability_level,recovery_model,db_size_in_MB,log_size_in_MB. i try to write this a got stuck. select sysdb.database_id,sysdb.name,sysdb.compatibility_level, sysdb.recovery_model_desc,sysmaster.size from sys.databases sysdb,sys.master_files sysmaster where sysdb.database_id = sysmaster.database_id
I've been ehre off and on when I've needed help. And I know someone answered my question last time with the exact info I needed. But I seem to have lost the query I saved.
I pretty much need a query that can filter a field I have adn pull up any records that are not in in date format. My current field is text and I'm trying to convert it over to DateTime but am getting stuck. Seems at least one of the records does not have a date format.
I would like to check if the incoming date is valid date and i would also like to check if the date exists in my database.
i am transfering data from a flat file so all the data is string data.
How would i assign the datatype to the incoming columns as they exists in the sql table.Because it would better when i try to compare my incoming columns with the once in my database.
Here when i have a lookup transform and try to map one of my columns with string datatype to a column in my sql table of datatype date time i get a datatype mismatch error. How do i need to check if its date time...and how can i check if the incoming date is valid date.
Hi I need to have a second copy of our databse on another server as backup if something will happen to the first one. I couldn´t get the sql replication or database mirror to work ( I think the problem i that both servers are running in a workgroup an dnot in a domaine) and now I try to solved my problem with an automatic restore of the full backup (a new full backup is running every night) but now I need a function to check if todays date is the same as a part of the backupfilename and is it possible to do that as a step in the sqlagentjob i have create?
Hi guys,I have written a stored procedure to check for date range, say if the user enters a value for 'city-from' , 'city-to', 'start-date' and end-date, this stored procedure should verify these 2 dates against the dates stored in the database. If these 2 dates had already existed for the cities that they input, the stored procedure should return 1 for the PIsExists parameter. Below's how I constructed the queries: 1 ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.DateCheck 2 @PID INTEGER = -1 OUTPUT, 3 @PCityFrom Char(3) = '', 4 @PCityTo Char(3) = '', 5 @PDateFrom DATETIME = '31 Dec 9999', 6 @PDateTo DATETIME = '31 Dec 9999', 7 @PIsExists BIT = 1 OUTPUT 8 AS 9 10 CREATE TABLE #TmpControlRequst 11 ( 12 IDINTEGER, 13 IsExistsCHAR(1) 14 ) 15 /*###Pseudo 16 1. Check the Date From and Date To 17 -- select all the value equal to parameter cityFrom and cityTo 18 -- insert the selection records into tmp table 19 --*/ 20 INSERT INTO #TmpControlRequst 21 (ID, IsExists) 22 SELECT ID, 23 IsExists = CASE WHEN DateFrom <> '31 Dec 9999' AND DateTo <> '31 Dec 9999' 24 AND @PDateFrom <= DateFrom AND @PDateFrom <= DateTo 25 AND @PDateTo >= DateFrom AND @PDateTo <= DateTo THEN 1 26 WHEN DateFrom <> '31 Dec 9999' AND DateTo <> '31 Dec 9999' 27 AND @PDateFrom >= DateFrom AND @PDateFrom <= DateTo 28 AND @PDateTo >= DateFrom AND @PDateTo <= DateTo THEN 1 29 WHEN DateFrom <> '31 Dec 9999' AND DateTo <> '31 Dec 9999' 30 AND @PDateFrom >= DateFrom AND @PDateFrom <= DateTo 31 AND @PDateTo >= DateFrom AND @PDateTo >= DateTo THEN 1 32 WHEN DateFrom <> '31 Dec 9999' AND DateTo <> '31 Dec 9999' 33 AND @PDateFrom <= DateFrom AND @PDateFrom <= DateTo 34 AND @PDateTo >= DateFrom AND @PDateTo >= DateTo THEN 1 35 ELSE 0 END 36 FROM RequestTable 37 WHERE ID <> @PID 38 AND CityFrom = @PCityFrom 39 AND CityTo = @PCityTo 40 41 --======== FINAL RESULT 42 -- For tmp table:- 43 -- isExists = 1 ==> date lapse 44 -- isExists = 0 ==> date ok 45 -- if count for (isExists = 1) in tmp table is > 0 then return 1 and data not allow for posting 46 SELECT @PIsExists = CASE WHEN COUNT(*) > 0 THEN 1 47 ELSE 0 END 48 FROM #TmpControlRequst 49 WHEREIsExists = 1 50 51 SELECT @PIsExists 52 --========= 53 54 DROP TABLE #TmpControlRequst 55 56 --========= 57 RETURN(0)However, when I run this stored procedure, 'PIsExists' would always return -1. I am positive that the values that I passed in, had already existed in the database. Any idea what might be causing this problem? Thanks in advance
I'm about ready to pull my hair out. I have a repeater control, and a date field. If the field is a valid date, I'll use it to calculate and display the person's age. Otherwise, I want to display "N/A". My problem is trying to determine if the date field is null or not.I'm using SQL Server 2005 which allows Nulls in the date field, and for many records I don't have a birth date. It makes sense for these records to leave the date Null. This is my code:Protected Sub Repeater1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterItemEventArgs) Handles Repeater1.ItemDataBound If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item OrElse e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Then Dim LabelIcon As Label = CType(e.Item.FindControl("LabelIcon"), Label) Dim LblAge As Label = CType(e.Item.FindControl("LblAge"), Label) Dim inmate As WAP.prisonmembersRow = CType(CType(e.Item.DataItem, System.Data.DataRowView).Row, WAP.prisonmembersRow) If System.IO.File.Exists(Server.MapPath("~/images/picts/" & inmate.FILE2 & ".jpg")) Then LabelIcon.Visible = True End If If inmate.DATE_OF_BIRTH Is DBNull.Value Then If IsDate(inmate.DATE_OF_BIRTH) Then LblAge.Text = "Age: N/A" Else LblAge.Text = "Age: " & GetBirthdate(inmate.DATE_OF_BIRTH) End If End If End IfEnd Sub How can I resolve this?Diane
Basically, I have a membership table that lists each member with an effective period, Eff_Period, that indicates a month when a member was active. So, if a member is active from Jan to Mar, there will be three rows with Eff_Periods of 201501, 201502 and 201503.
All well and good.But, a member may not necessarily have continuous months for active membership. They might have only been active for Jan, Feb and Jun. That would still give them three rows, but with noncontinuous Eff_Periods; they'd be 201501, 201502 and 201506.There is also a table that logs member activity. It has an Activity_Date that holds the date of the activity - betcha didn't see that comin'. What I'm trying to do is determine if an activity took place during a period when the member was active.
My original thought was to count how many rows a member has in the Membership table and compare that number to the number of months between the MIN(Eff_Period) and the MAX(Eff_Period). If the numbers didn't matchup, then I knew that the member had a disconnect somewhere; he became inactive, then active again. But, then I thought of the scenario I detailed above and realized that the counts could match, but still have a discontinuity.So, is there a nifty little SQL shortcut that could determine if a target month is contained within a continuous or discontinuous list of months?
I am facing below problems in migrating my DTS packages to SSIS. Could any one answer this ?
1.How to do Tranformations based on condition.Earlier in DTS we are using Activex. For ex:
if isDate(DTSSource("Due Date")) then DTSDestination("Due_Date") = DTSSource("Due Date") end if
I am using script component with below logic:
If Not Row.Due_Date_IsNull Then
If IsDate(Row.Due_Date) Then
Row.Due_Date= Row.EntryDate
End If
End If
Is that correct ? 2.My flat file is having 37 columns.But I am able to see only 21 columns;First 20 columns are showing correctly and remaining data is showing in 21st column.delimiter is semicolon; Any guess ?
I have a column say 'ActivationDate' which is a (database timestamp [DT_DBTIMESTAMP]) which I want to replace with an expression in derived columns
The condition is if 'ActivationDate' field is null or '' then 'Null' else 'ActivationDate'
I am struggling to write this condition. Without condition i.e. at present it saves the value in this database '1753-01-01 00:00:00.000'. In the preview the 'ActivationDate'field does not show any thing so I recon it is either null or ''
I need to set up a package to copy a file from a network share to a server. Before the copy job, I need to check whether the file, e.g. test.txt, is created within one day, if not, then check again an hour later.
I'm making some sort of application where people can add their resume. They also need something to add places where they have worked or currently are working.
I have a form where they can add this and i add this experience using the following stored procedure:
GO SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO create procedure [dbo].[sp_Insert_Experience] @ExperienceId uniqueidentifier, @ExperienceEmployee nvarchar(100), @ExperienceFrom datetime, @ExperienceUntil datetime, @ExperienceQualifications nvarchar(250), @ExperienceTechnologies nvarchar(250), @ExperienceTasks nvarchar(250) as insert into Experiences values(@ExperienceId,@ExperienceEmployee,@ExperienceFrom,@ExperienceUntil,@ExperienceQualifications, @ExperienceTechnologies,@ExperienceTasks);
It must be possible to add the place where they currently are working. Then the ExperienceUntil has to be something like still going on. Then I decided that the user then had to set the current date.
But what I want is the following, I want that the ExperienceUntil keeps updating automatically, like everytime i get that record, it has to have current date.
Is this possible ?
But if the ExperienceUntil isn't the current date , it just had to take the supplied parameter date.
Hi, Basically the above is a very common requirement, please comment on my solution which I've arrived at by searching through the web; -
In summary I have used 3 SSIS components these are "Flat File Source", "Derived Column" and "SQL Server Destination".
1) File Connections Manager Editor 1.1) Within File Connections Manager Editor; - Name the data type e.g. "INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC" and assign a type to the data type e.g. string[DT_STR]
1.2) Click on the Preview button to ensure the expected text is assigned to the expected data type.
2.4) Select "database timestamp [DT_DBTIMESTAMP] " as Data Type.
2.5) Within the Mappings tab of the SQL Destination Editor have; - Input Column as INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE and Destination Column as INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE.
Please comment on the above, I will then pass on my suggestion to Microsoft.
I asked this question below, but the answer was that the conversion will take place automatically, but I can't get that to happen. I have a flat file with an 8 position field that I identify as string (and I also tried date) that is yyyymmdd and it needs to go into the database field that is datetime format. IS there something I am doing wrong with the definition of it, or do I need to add some kind of conversion, and if so, what and how would that be done. I'm a dts Sql2000 expert, but the SSIS thing is driving me crazy. I have a ton of dts' to convert and the migration tool doesn't work because there are a lot of active X scripts in them. thanks for your help. Boston Rose
1)My source files[.txt] come from an FTP server.I need to find a way to include within my SSIS package,a task that would watch a certain folder of the FTP Server and send a mail notification as soon as the file arrives.Tried using filewatcher task http://www.sqlis.com/23.aspx, but the task stays "yellow" for a long time while package is being excuted.I dont know if this is what I need to use.Are they any other task/ways?
Another Problem I'm facing is;
2)If the source file coming in the FTP Server is zipped.How do I unzip the file and move it back to the FTP Server folder for the task in 1) to watch on it .Any ideas ?
In SSIS, I need an easy way to see if a file exists, and if not wait for it until a timeout period expires. Here are the options I've discovered, along with the issues I've had:
a) The File Watcher task from www.sqlis.com
This was my first attempt. The task works great, BUT only detects when there is a change on the file. If the file already exists, it keeps waiting which is not the behavior I need. b) The WMI Event Task
There is very sparce documentation on this event and how to write a WQL query. There are numerous examples of monitoring a folder and if any files appear, cause an event to happen. I need to detect for a specific file. I found maybe one example of this using "PartComponent" but wasn't able to get the sytax right to make it work for me. I also need to access a remote file share using a UNC path (e.g. \servernamepathfile.txt) which I could not get to work. c) Script Task using the File.Exists() method
I imported the System.IO namespace, and used a File.Exists(\servernamepathfile.txt) with actual success, but am not sure of the best way to continue to wait if the file is not found immediately. I also want to modularize this approach so I can wait for several files simultaneously so was thinking of implementing this script task as a package by itself to accept variables (filepath & timeout period) but need to know if anyone has had success with this approach. I'm open to suggestions or ways to get options a) and b) to work for my needs. Thanks! Kory
Hi, I wrote a VB code to generate a xls file. Users are able to run it fine but if they have another file with same name already open, then it just crashes excel. So I want to include a code that checks if file "file.xls" is open on user's machine. If file is open, then message "file "File.xls" is already open. Generating File_1.xls" Run the code but create the file with file name "file_1.xls" If file doesn't exist, then run code and create file with file name "File.xls"
So basically I want the code to run and generate the file. Only difference is that if file with same name is already open, then just rename the newly created file.
Here's the code I've created for generating the file:
Public Function getrmpricing() Dim queryoption As String Dim ans, Msg As String Dim fs As Object Dim sTemplateFile As String Dim e_TemplateFile As String On Error Resume Next
yes,I have an error, like 'The database file may be corrupted. Run the repair utility to check the database file. [ Database name = SDMMC Storage Cardwinpos_2005WINPOS2005.sdf ]' .I develope a program for Pocket Pcs and this program's database sometimes corrupt.what can i do?please help me
We have a really annoying job here that relies on a particular file to be created before several imports run. An old file may already exist, but if it isn't recent, we don't want the import to run. This job can't delete it, since other jobs use that file. What we'd like to do is to be able to check the creation date of the file, and if it is after a certain time of day, run the import, else, delete the file. I know of xp_fileexists. Is there anything similar in SQL that can return file information or am I stuck parsing the output from xp_cmdshell 'dir F:ftpcoreinputready.txt'? Any help or hints are appreciated. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks. -D.
