Hi All,
I am in process of transfering data from Sybase to Sql Server using SSIS 2005
have taken a Data Flow Task in Control Flow tab
In Data flow tab, I have taken one Ole DB Source and One OLe DB Destination
For the source, I am using Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere Provider 8.0
For Destination, I am using Sql Server 2005 database
In Ole Db Source Editor ,
For OLe Db Connection Manager, I choose Sybase Connection
For Data access mode, I choose Table or View
For Name of the table or the view, I choose a table by name Table1( it lists all the tables from Sybase database)
When i click on preview button or Columns link, I get the following Error
Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Source [1]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.
Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Source [1]]: Unable to retrieve column information from the data source. Make sure your target table in the database is available.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC020204A (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)
Please help me out.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
I am trying to set up a data flow task. The source is "SQL Command" which is
a stored procedure. The proc has a few temp tables that it outputs the final
resultset from. When I hit preview in the ole db source editor, I see the
right output. When I select the "Columns" tab on the right, the "Available
External Column List" is empty. Why don't the column names appear? What is
the work around to get the column mappings to work b/w source and
destination in this scenario.
In DTS previously, you could "fool" the package by first compiling the
stored procedure with hardcoded column names and dummy values, creating and
saving the package and finally changing the procedure back to the actual
output. As long as the columns remained the same, all would work.
Thats not working for me in SSIS.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, I am getting very frustrated! I have got a Foreach loop container which I am processing files within a folder. I have a flatfile connection manager which I have set up using a test file and have updated the expressions attribute to be the package variable I set up in the collection for the loop container however everytime I run it I get the error: 0xC0202094 cannot retrieve the column information from the flatfile connection manager. I can only guess that it is either the variable being passed to the connection manager or the way I set up the connection manager. When I msgbox the variable in a script component before the dataflow step, the variable for the file seems fine. Any suggestions are REALLY appreciated.
Yours
Jayne
I've developed a package that is working well at development machine from VS 2013 for a sample flat file. Also, over development machine, I've deployed it to SSISDB catalogue and even from there also it is running well for the same file.When the same package is deployed to production server's SSISDB catalogue database, it throws following error while processing the same sample flat file, “Unable to retrieve column information from the flat file connection manager”
View 5 Replies View RelatedIn oracle there is a describe command:
describe table_name
This command will tell you the columns names, datatypes, and length of the columns for that particular table. Does anyone know if there is a simliar command in SQL server that would do that? The only way that I have found so far is to do a join of the syscolumns with sysobject by table name.
I have a report and it retrieves information from an etl logging table which contains this info: etl_process_name, active_since_date, last_run_date.
When the packages are executing, the table cant be queried because it is in a transaction. Therefore the report keeps generating :s
The thing I want is that: If I query that table (with the report to show the logging table information) and the packages are executing, I want to see the values of the table before the transaction.
What I tried:
From sql management studio:
ALTER DATABASE MyDataBase
SET ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION ON
set transaction isolation level snapshot
go
SELECT etl_process, last_run, active_since FROM config.etl_settings
I did this while the packages were executing and it works but it won't work when I execute the same SELECT statement from the Dataset in the report. How is that possible? Does it have something to do with setting the database options for all users?
Additional info:
I'm database owner
The report solution has a shared datasource which refers to the same database
If I had a bunch of paragraphs stored in a database field, is there a way, when displaying that data, that I can write instructions to only retrieve the very first paragraph?

Hello,
I need to retrieve all the information about all the foreign key constraints,inorder to store them temporarily (to be deleted later)and then recreated after making the necessary modifications to the concerned tables.
The stored proc sp_helpconstraint shows all the constraint types, their user-defined or system-supplied name, the columns on which they have been defined, and the expression that defines them.But I don't know whether it can be manipulated to get what I want.I need to get it done programmatically..so that I can integrate it in my program which I'm building up progressively.
Any help or scripts would be appreciated!

Till recently we were using the following code to retreive schema information of columns of tables
Dim schemaTable = connection.GetOleDbSchemaTable( _
System.Data.OleDb.OleDbSchemaGuid.Columns, _
New Object() {Nothing, Nothing, tableName, Nothing})
Now instead of getting the name of table (which i was using as param for filtering) i'm going to receive a sql-query. Now my question is if I were to get a query like the following :
SELECT
[EmployeeID],
[Title] + ' ' + [LastName] + ' ' + [FirstName] AS FullName,
[BirthDate],
[Address],
[City] + ', ' + [Region] + ', ' + [Country] + ' - ' + [PostalCode] AS FullAddress
FROM [dbo].[Employees]
Then how can I retrieve the schema information of only the columns present in the query.
(Its possible that i might get a query with multiple tables with joints)...
Hello, it seems I forgot how to do it,
I want to create a query to get the column description table, I mean get structure without data.

I am having trouble bringing "description" column in to my sp and them at the out put. in the ppatient_status_mstr there is a column called“description” which has patient status such as “discharged” “termed collection” etc... How do I use the SP to bring this description into application? I am assigning it to @mytext. I am not sure how to declare “description” in the SP? Every time I use it I get errors like:
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Procedure CheckStatus, Line 20
The multi-part identifier "pm.alerts_ind" could not be bound.
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Procedure CheckStatus, Line 40
Invalid column name 'description'.
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Procedure CheckStatus, Line 43
Invalid column name 'description'.
I want to say if user picks a description from application . show me that description in output. But I am having trouble how to use the description? I am not sure if my “IF” statements are correct either?
Here is the procedure
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[CheckStatus] (@enc_id varchar(36) OUTPUT, @Mytext varchar(50) OUTPUT, @data_ind Char(1) OUTPUT)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
@alerts_ind char(1)

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am migrating between SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 but hit a snag when attempting to write a query to display the column's description.
I used this code with SQL Server 2000 to get the "Description" data.

Hello All.
I have created a table with short name as the file name but have entered the description in the column box (when creating a new table - see attached). I would like to show this description information in query analyser. Can this be done? I used sp_help <table name> but it doesn't show the description.
Please advise. Thank you.
Best regards

I know that I can go into Microsoft Studio Express and type in each desciption for each column. I just have about 1000 variables and each variable's description is in an Excel spreadsheet.

- Default value
- Precision
- Scale

Where did I go wrong?
Okay, I'll admit it: I am not a Guru. Far from it. So here is one of the zillion tasks I cannot do - unfortunately it is one that I need to have done... :
I need a recordset containing the Name, Datatype, Size, Precision, and Name_of_parent_table of all columns in all non-system tables in a given database.
Most likely this can be accomplished with one or two SPs, but which ones? And how?
Is there any Kind Soul out there, perhaps?

Hi,
Is it possible to retrieve column information alone in the sp_columns command? I saw that it has an additional option "@column_name". But when I include it in my sql, it doesn't work the way I had expected it to..
I had tried sp_columns @table_name='mytable', @column_name='COLUMN_NAME'
I expect just the column names alone in the resultset. What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks and Regards,
Celia.
