Hi!
We make complete data load once a week. Now we need to make additional steps to append data on daily basis. We have primary key on the table and it doesn't allow appending duplicate rows.
What steps should we create to append data?
Thank you,
Elena.
Hi,
Here I will describe my problem.
1. We are loading large amount of data from database on background thread which is starting on Application_start event in global.aspx.cs file.The data is later cached for subsquent request to improve the performance.
2. Now when we put the application on web farm garden, it is not able to load the application.
3. We are sending the request the servers through Router kind of application.
4 This application is working fine on single server enviornment.
Please help us.

I just have done the SSIS example in the tutorial document included when install SQL 2005 ENT. I have a problem that whenever I test to run, the service load all data from source with out noticing about the data (I mean it load all the data to the destination), I do it several time and it continue to load all without checking. That mean the data is dublicated when the schedule run???
I think there should be a paramete or something like that to help the engine just load the new data to the destination. Could you help please?
Thank
how I can load the CSV file data into the sql server table. I know there are ways like bulk insert and other to load the csv file data into the table. But in my case the table doesn't exist and has to be created at the run time. With simple insert in temp table we do like select * into #temp from tablename and that creates the temp table. So. I need something like that which create the temp table and load the data into it. because the CSV file would have different number of columns and names so I can not create the table structure in advance. I have to create the table at run time.

I'm needing to load data on the client side to load into a DataGrid. I decided to use excel to load the data, but it doesn't need to be. My problem is that it only loads from the server not the client. I browse to find the file and get the path with a control named ctlFindFile. A button labeled ctlLoadData will when pressed display the pathway in label1 and also place the pathway in the function GetDataFromExcel which returns a dataset from the spreadsheet and displays the data in a dataset. Data is returned fine if I’m on the server, but when I'm on a remote machine I receive an error. That is unless I've place a spreadsheet with the same name and pathway on the server as on the client machine, then I’m able to load the file. Now how do I get it to load from on the client machine?
Code below:
Private Sub ctlLoadData_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ctlLoadData.Click
Label1.Text = ctlFindFile.Value
DataGrid1.DataSource = GetDataFromExcel(ctlFindFile.Value, "SampleNamedRange").Tables(0)
DataGrid1.DataBind()
End Sub
Public Function GetDataFromExcel(ByVal FileName As String, ByVal RangeName As String) As System.Data.DataSet
'Returns a DataSet containing information from a named range in the passed Excel worksheet
Try
Dim strConn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" &_ Data Source=" & FileName & ";Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;"
Dim objConn As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(strConn)
objConn.Open()
' Create objects ready to grab data
Dim objCmd As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM " &_ RangeName, objConn)
Dim objDA As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
objDA.SelectCommand = objCmd
' Fill DataSet
Dim objDS As New System.Data.DataSet
objDA.Fill(objDS)
' Cleanup and return DataSet
objConn.Close()
Return objDS
Catch ex As Exception
' Possible errors include Excel file already open and locked, et al.
Return Nothing
End Try
End Function

Hi,I'm extracting data from a mainframe application with a view to loadingit into a MS SQL database. I'm trying to determine the most efficientway to format the mainframe extract file to make loading into thedatabase easier.The problem I have is that the existing record structure includes anarray that can vary between 1 to 50. If I include this array in asingle record the table I use to import the data would need 50 columnsthough not all these would be populated. There is a field in the recordto identify how many occurances of the array there are.Current Record Structure :Account NumberAccount NameOther Account DetailsTotalNumberOfArrayFieldsPopulatedArray :Value1Value2Value3....up to Value50 (if required)i.e.12344,Mr Agent,$29.95,2,BX123,BX12412345,Mr Jones,$14.95,3,XX123,XX124,XX12512345,Mr Jones,$14.00,1,XY12312345,Mr Jones,$15.95,2,XZ124,XZ12512346,Mr Smith,$19.95,3,AX123,AX124,AX12512346,Mr Smith,$19.00,1,BY12312347,Mr Acant,$99.95,7,CX123,CX124,CX125,CX126,CX127,CX128 ,CX129There may be up to 3 records created for each Account Number withdifferent values in the array fields.Am I better to break this file into two files .. one with the corecustomer information and a second file with a row for each array valuewhich has a link to the customer information file.OrIs there a way to efficiently process the original file once it isloaded into the staging tables in the database ?i.e.File 1 - Core Customer Information====================================Current Record Structure :Record NumberAccount NumberAccount NameOther Account DetailsTotalNumberOfArrayFieldsPopulatedFile 2 - Array Information====================================Record NumberArray :Value1Value2Value3....up to Value50 (if required)File 1========================12344,Mr Agent,$29.95,212345,Mr Jones,$14.95,312345,Mr Jones,$14.00,112345,Mr Jones,$15.95,212346,Mr Smith,$19.95,312346,Mr Smith,$19.00,112347,Mr Acant,$99.95,7File 2========================12344,BX12312344,BX12412345,XX12312345,XX12412345,XX12512345,XY12312345,XZ12412345,XZ12512346,AX12312346,AX12412346,AX12512346,BY12312347,CX12312347,CX12412347,CX12512347,CX12612347,CX12712347,CX12812347,CX129At times the individual array values will be used for look ups thoughessentially the Customer Information record will be the primary lookupdata.I'm leaning toward changing my COBOL code and creating the 2nd outputunless someone can suggest a simple way to process the information onceloaded into the table.Any help that could be suggested would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
I have some data in a CSV file that looks like this:
<Column Name1>, <Column Name2>, <Column Name3>, <Column NameN>
<Column Value1>, <Column Value2>, <Column Value3>, <Column ValueN>
<Blank Line>
<Column Name1>, <Column Name2>, <Column Name3>, <Column Name4>, <Column NameN>
<Column Value1>, <Column Value2>, <Column Value3>, <Column Value4>, <Column ValueN>
The rub is that I don't know how many columns I am going to have but each <Column Name> has a <Column Value>.
I need to load the data into different tables based on the <Column Name>.
Any ideas????
Thanks for all the information this forum has very helpful!!!
Hello
I am looking for some advise.
I have a process to import flat text files. We are importing data from five vendors. These files are seperated by vendor with each vendor having their own directory. The general file layouts are different for each vendor.
Each vendor may have up to five different types of files to be imported that are their one directory (sales, inventory, transactions etc). Sales file for Vendor 1 is different layout than sales file for Vendor 2.
Each vendor may have multiple instances of each type (store 1 inventory, store 2 inventory, store 1 sales, store 2 sales etc.) There could be up to five hundred files (of the five different types) in a given vendors directory.
I am using an import package. This package has five (.dtsx files) different data flows. Each of these data flows has connection managers that connect to the specific types of files (sales, inventory, transactions etc) for that vendor.
My current play is to have the data flow(.dtsx file) parse the store name (from the file name) for each of the file types. It would load/process each of the available file formats (sales, inventory, transactions etc) for that store in that vendor folder. We want the process to load all data files from a given store. It would then move on to the next available store (same vendor). I would like to set the process to run multithreaded so that I am loading as many of the stores for that vendor as possible (there could be over a hundred stores for each vendor) at the same time.
How do I get each dataflow to run multiple instances (Instance1 for vendor(x).dtsx, instance2 for vendor(x).dtsx etc) for maximum Vendor(x) input.
What is the best way/process/design to track each store name so that each process (instance1, instance2 etc) is loading a distinct store. The files will be moved to a history folder as they are processed. Should I have a different process that gets each store name initially and then saves that information to a SQL table. The dataflow would load the next available store name from the SQL table query and let SQL lock that store?
Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated!
I have to Load Contacts data from different systems into a single SQL Server 2005 table, the scenario is the following :
I have three systems System 1,System 2 and System 3
Step 1 Load Data From System 1
Step 2 Load Data from System 2 and if there are matching contacts with System 1, then match their details, keep System 1 details
Step 3 Load Data from System 3 and if there are matching contacts with System 2, then match their details and if different, flag them, do the same with System details.
The unique ids in the three systems are not the same so only way to match is to do a concatenation of name + address + zip code
Is there any other efficient way to do this...
Please advise
Hi ,
My Input is a flat file source and it has spaces in few columns in the data . These columns are linked to another table as a foreign key and when i try loading them in a relational structure Foreigh key violation is occuring , is there a standard method to replace these spaces .
what approach should i take so that data gets loaded in a relational structure.
for example
Name Age Salary Address
dsds 23 fghghgh
Salary description level
2345 nnncncn 4
here salary is used in this example , the datatype is char in real scenario
what approach should i take to load the data in with cleansing the spaces in ssis
everything is ok.. the connection is on..the page can be loaded... no error....
BUT the data from the database cannot be retrieved... as in.. it just didnt load on screen...
i dont know whats wrong... i have follow all the steps show on a book.. can anyone pls help me?? thks
Hi,
I have problem I'm hoping someone can give me some pointers with.
I need to load data from several text files into one table. The format of the files are simple - each line is comma separated, with double quotes around each element e.g.
"parameter 1","value 1","parameter 2","value 2"....
"parameter 12","value 12","parameter 13","value 13"...
However, the files themselves will have different numbers of columns e.g file 1 may have 8 columns, file 2 may have 16 columns.
I'm going to load the data into a table that has at least as many columns as the longest file. The table columns are all varchar, and are named simply as [Col001] [Col002] [Col003] etc...
The first two columns of this table must be left empty during the load (I use these later on), so the data entry will start at [Col003].
My question is what is the best way to do this? I thought perhaps using a BULK INSERT in a stored procedure might do the trick, but I haven't used it before and haven't got very far. I gather another approach might be to use bcp utility. Someone has also suggested a DTS package, but the filenames will be suffixed with current date/time stamp, so i don't think that will work.
My preferred appraoch would be the BULK INSERT..but i'm open to any pointers.
Many Thanks

I am extracting data from an SQLServer database to load into Teradata using DTS. The performance is abysmal. The same data in a text file loads quickly via multiload. I can move the data to other DBMSs via DTS quickly as well. Is there some way for me to improve the elapsed time/performance while using DTS? If not, what is the best way to move data from SQLServer into Teradata?

I'm fairly new to SQL and I have been asked to load multiple tables with duplicate and inconsistent data into a single table. Each source (table) has been assigned a rank in terms of the quality and reliability. After some thought, I have come up with this solution to get all of the data loaded based on rank.
Does anyone know of a better way to do this?
Value is a unique key.
SELECT *
FROM table_1
union
SELECT *
FROM table_2
where (value + '_' + yr) in
( select value + '_' + yr
from table_2
except
select value + '_' + yr
from table_1)

SELECT *
FROM table_3
where (value + '_' + yr) in
( select value + '_' + yr

except
select value + '_' + yr
from table_2

from table_1)
I need to load a lot of data into a sql table as fast as possible. (All data is string data, CSV file). I have read that the "fastest" way to load data is using the "Fast Load" option of the OLEDB Destination but I have also read that the "SQL Server" Destination is fast.
1. Is there a general consensus as to which way is the quicksest load?
2. The file is a CSV file. Would a fixed-format file be faster to read?
TIA,

Hi:
Can someone help me with a SSIS package that would consume from a Web Service (in fact two of them) and then load the data into SQL Server. I currently have Web Service task which connects to ForEachLoop task, and inside the loop task, I have a DFT. I am thinking, I would need to call the webservice utilizing the Web Services Task, and then store the output in a Full ResultSet variable. In my loop, I would like to loop thru the resultset, and store the data into SQL server. Inside the DFT, how would I construct this mechanism? Also, is this a good way to consume from a Web Service and then populate SQL Server? Are there any alternate ideas on this? Any documentation on this yet? Thanks.
I need to import typically 5000 - 50000 rows of data to OLTP database from a flat file. Flat file contains all active information - new & existing rows. About 10% of the rows are new. Each row has about 30 columns.
I have created a Data Flow which divides the data to new records (for insert) and existing records(for update) via the Lookup transformation (as described in Jaime Thompson blog - thanks).
The question is - in performance perspective - should I check if the existing records have been changed or not?
Currently I do a full refresh of all data - (my opinion is that in SQL side - if you update a row with exact same data - it will not cause SQL server to "perform row update") - however I'm concerned that SSIS performing between 4000 - 40000 update statements each time in OLE DB command may cause issues.
Your thoughts on this appreciated
Hi,
Is there anyway to load all the raw data in one directory into the database? l've several files with same format but different filename in one folder which l do not know their filename before hand.
Is SSIS For Each Loop can help me to accomplish the file loading? If so, where can l find the example?
Thanks you.

I'd like to use a data flow task to load data into a table by specifying the synonym name of the destination table, instead of the actual table name.
The OLE DB Destination is forcing me to pick an actual table or view from a drop down list. Any ideas on how to get around this?
Thank you.
Hello,
In my SSIS package I am trying to import a .csv flat file with about 170,000 rows of data with 75 columns (I know this is rather large). I would like to create a SSIS package that loads ALL of the rows of data into a table. This table has it's fields defined (such as money, float, varchar, datetime, etc). I want the data to load to this table even if there is a conversion error converting any field. When the data is loaded to this table, any fields that couldn't be converted should be set to null. Of the 75 columns of data, there are MANY columns that could be invalid.
For example, if the flat file contains the value "00/00/00" for my "PaidDate" field, I would want all of the other fields to be populated and the value for this particular record's "PaidDate" field to be null.
It would also be nice if I could trap any of the fields that caused a problem and log them along with the row.
I know that SSIS supports the "Redirect Row" method for handling data, but in my case, I don't want to redirect it. I want to continue to load it, just with a null value.
Is there an easy way of doing this (i.e. perhaps by using the Advanced Editor for the Flat File Source and setting something in the Input/Output columns)? I really don't want to create a Derived Column or Data Conversion transformation for every field that needs to be converted (b/c there are 75 columns to maintain this for).
I know if I import this file to an Access 2003 database, it imports the data fine and logs any conversion errors to an "_ConversionErrors" table. I am basically looking for this same behavior in SSIS, without having to maintain 75 columns.
TIA
In the process of building a data warehouse is their an easy to test if the data received is right data.
Are there any tools free tools available
Or do i have to build these ssis packages
