Hi,I would like to convert a dollar amount ($1,500) to represent Fifteenhundred dollars and 00/100 cents only for SQL reporting purposes. Isthis possible and can I incorporate the statement into an existingleft outer join query.Thanks in advance,Gavin
I'm editing an SSIS package. The source column has datatype float and the data is stored like 1,2 instead of 1.2. To change this into a period instead of comma there is a derived column step in the ssis package. The expression in this derived column step to change this goes as:<o:p></o:p> (DT_STR ,32,1 252)(REPLACE((DT_STR,32,1252)SUBSCHAAL_SCORE,",","."))<o:p></o:p>
where SUBSCHAAL_SCORE is the name of the column. As you see the data is converted into a string. I need it to be converted into a numeric datatype (18,6) instead of string/varchar but it must also handle the first issue with changing the comma into a period. <o:p></o:p>
I am using OLE DB source to extract data from Oracle. I have query (sample) like below, but SSIS is converting ID as Unicode String [DT_WSTR]. Why is that? and how to avoid this?
I am using rowVersion to detect rows that need to be re-extracted for my ETL. The first step in the ETL is to get MIN_ACTIVE_ROWVERSION() from the database, as well as the rowVersion from the last successful ETL run. Both of these values are saved in variables in SSIS. Since SSIS doesn't have an associated data type, these values are converted to nvarchar(512) before getting sent to SSIS.
I'm now trying to create a stored procedure to grab the data out of the source system. The sproc takes RowVersionMin and RowVersionMax as input parameters. Those parameters are then converted to varbinary(max), and I use them in a query to select the appropriate rows.
When I run the sproc in SSMS, it runs without a problem. However, when I try to use the sproc as a data source in SSIS, I get the following error: "Error converting data type nvarchar to varbinary". Why SSIS has a problem with this, but SSMS does not? The sproc code looks like this:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[dw_DimComment_DataLoad] @RunType varchar(3), @RowVersionMin nvarchar(512), @RowVersionMax nvarchar(512) AS BEGIN -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
I have a SSIS package which is reading from an Excel file.
The Excel is created from a report from another system and sometimes the date of birth formats as a Date and sometimes as string.
I've added a data viewer so I can see how the columns are read as soon as SSIS reads the file.
When the cell in Excel is set as text its read correctly - I can then convert to a date as necessary
When the cell in Excel is set as date its read in US format! i.e. if it was 01/13/2014 in excel its read as 13/01/2014
How can I get round this? Its not an option to manually force the column to be text once exported from the system as my package picks this up automatically.
I have tried
-Regedit set typeguessrows = 0 -IMEX = 1 in connection string -Set LocaleID = UK in the data flow task to read from Excel
I need to convert these into decimal values with up to four decimal points, like this: 0.352 0.1232 0.9210 0.8005 0.2792 1.0000
I am trying to use the derived column editor but since I am fairly new to this, I am getting my wires crossed. c
1. Remove the % sign from the string -- not sure if I should use TRIM, or REPLACE 2. Divide the value by 100 -- but don't I need to do some sort of type casting first? 3. Do a cast to convert whatever I got into the correct decimals -- perhaps this isn't required if I did step 2 as a typecast to decimals already?
I have a stored proc that is being executed from an OLE DB Source component in my Data Flow. Takes one input parm, has several variables declared within, a derived table which is used in a join and all within a try catch block with transaction handling. No updates, just returning data, works great, except now I have been asked to replace these stored procs with inline queries.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_Get_Test] ( @numberOfMonthsint ) AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON set transaction isolation level read uncommitted
[Code] ....
The problems I have run into so far are...
SQL command text in OLE DB Source Editor does not like: - TRY/CATCH block - Will not let me use my input parm (@numberOfMonths int) - When I hard code in my input parm (select @BeginDate = dateadd(MONTH, -1, GETDATE())) I can parse query and run the step but no results are returned. So I am let to assume that it does not like the @TESTY derived table.
The query here as a sample has had pivots removed as well, but research suggests this should be an issue in the SQL command text.
Also, I know not even to try the Build Query... cause it will complain about any variable declarations (i.e., declare @BeginDate datetime).
For instance, can I pull this off with an Execute SQL Task? The problem is I don't see this available in the toolbox for the Data Flow.
Also, would my error handling be done in the Event Handlers tab now and if so, is there a good example of this?
I am getting below errors when I try to import data from csv format to a sqlserver table.The csv file has date column that has date with format: 7/10/2015 1:18:39 PM and the sql server is using datetime not null for that field in the table.
[OLE DB Destination [90]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Invalid date format".
[OLE DB Destination [90]] Error: There was an error with input column "Date" (138) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (103). The column status returned was: "Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type.".
I have to perform several data checks before loading data into target table. For example I am having 1 flat file with below column
Id Name Age Int Varchar(100) Int
My requirement is to create package, checks will be performed on each record, column of the files. Any records which failed the checks considered as error records and will be written to the exception table.
I've a text file which having a datetime column value like YYYY-MM-DD-HH.MM.SS.XXXXXX. I cannot convert this is to datetime format from text file using BCP utility.
Presence of hypen "-" between DD and HH, the SQL server does not accept this is as Datetime.
Is there any option to covert the date value in format file in BCP.
before running the Package , I want to change TYPE GUESS ROW=0 (if 8) in REGEDIT,So Update the TYPE GUESS ROW Iin Regedit by using SSIS in my Package as First Step So Which Task, I should use & Command line,
I have excel column with numeric and special character values , when I take that into SQL table using SSIS, the special character values enter as null value. the example column values are given bellow
1 2 2/1 1/2 1/2 means 1 or 2 ,
how can I read this values exactly into SQL table?
I am trying to implement Slowly Changing dimension transformation using Merge.Meaning both changing and historic attribute is in place. It seems we can use Update only once in Merge, in our scenario we have to update...When the historic attribute also have changed (To update the row as expired, IsCurrent=0)Also When changing attribute is changed. (Historic attribute is same). This case also we need to use Update. I am using CDC to do this. Updated OUTPUT is moving to a temporary table and using Execute SQL task to get updated.
When you pass a complex type (the one represented by class) to a web service the BIDS UI allows you to enter values for every field of that type as constants. But what if you want to pass a variable? Once again the UI allows you to specify a variable for that complex type parameter. But how to make this variable in SSIS?I understand it should have the type of Object. But how to specify what the runtime type of this object is? And how to assign all fields to that object?
In my ssis 2012 package, I have a 'object' type variable with some table like records. I want to do some SQL operations like insert/update on the records in another table based on this 'Object' type variable records. Basically I want to use a MERGE statement with another physical table with the records in the 'Object' type variable.how to map/use the Object type variable in Execute sql task.I am not good in script task. How to utilize this Object variable in a Execute sql task?
As part of my package, i require a date (Only date, not DateTime) which is 10 months previous to get date.Eg: for today if the package executes, then i want 12/1/2014 , which i will use in my package as a filter like 'where date='?' where ? is a paramter which is is derived from the above logic
So, I have a project parameter @ppdate with value as -10. I create a variable with DateTime (because there is NO date type for SSIS) and gives the expression as below
dateadd("Month",@ppdate, DATEADD("D",-(DAY(GETDATE()))+1,GETDATE())) , I am getting '7/1/2011 11:33:38 AM' which i don't want - i want only '12/1/2014'. How can i get it?
To get '12/01/2014', If i change the variable from DateTime to string, then i think i cant use the value in the filter condition like ''where date='?' because this does not accept string. Is this correct?
I'm trying to read in a text file, fixed width, very long records (over 7000 characters) in an ssis package. The first record appears ok in the 'preview' in the connection manager setup, but each record after that is offset by 2 characters (record 2 offset by 2, record 3 offset by 4, record 4 offset by 6 and so on), like it's inserting special characters.
Is there a way to change an image data type? I want to make a change to some deployed SQL 2008 SSIS deployed packages. I have a TSQL SELECT that searches the packages for a string. But I would like to be able to change a string. I have googled it but cannot find anything.
I'm using following command to populate my OLE DB Source. I have two of those in each Data Flow in my package. One of the OLE DB Sources points to my source database the other to the destination. In order to limit the number of rows I use the WHERE clause below. The [EnergyMiserFSRLive] being the the name of the source database. The Connection manager points to the destination database.
I would like an elegant way to replace [EnergyMiserFSRLive] with a parameter which I can reuse in each of my many data flows rather than use this hard coded value [EnergyMiserFSRLive].In particular I'm after the syntax of the below query that uses the parameter for [EnergyMiserFSRLive].
SELECT [SitesId] ,[SiteName] ,[FilePrefix] ,[City] ,[StateProv] ,[Country] FROM [Sites] WHERE SitesId >= (SELECT MIN(SitesId) FROM [DBNameFSRLive].[dbo].[Sites]) ORDER BY [SitesId]
I am new to Integration services.I have one query ,Is it possible to import the data from text file in integration services. I know that we can import the data from excel sheet and we can export it to table.But my question is whether we can do the same thing from the text file.If anyone come acroos the same thing send u r possible answers.Your help is much appreciated.
I received a pipe-delimited file that I need to import. (It has the equivalent of 650+ fields on a single row). While I had no issue importing it (SSIS 2008) I noticed that the input connector, Advanced option, shows an "OutputColumnWidth" of only 50 for all fields.
I say only 50 because some of the pipe-delimited fields can supposedly have a max of 250 characters so I'm concerned about potential data truncation. Unless someone has another thought I plan to manually set those OutputColumnWidth fields to 250.
My question here is as the dimension has SCD type 2 on it and every time when there is a change the persn_key gets a new key value but the fact table still points to oldest key.how to update the surrogate key on fact table to the current key value? As per the requirement fact surrogate key must be pointing to current active record on the dimension.
I need to convert a a string column to integer. Before converting, I need to check if it has blank values then convert it to NULL. Someone told me that its easier to convert it to NULL before converting to integer.
i have 4 SSRS reports. each report must be scheduled to run at different time and then send the send the reports in txt format (tab delimited) to a ftp server .I am new to SSIS and SSRS.
I am transferring data from Oracle tables into text files, and facing these errors.
1. I have a varaible working as an expression and my query goes into that variable and onwards that variable is passed to dataflow task, which parse the query. my query is simple saying "Select * from PLS.ABC" where PLS is my schema, but the task generates error "Opening a rowset for "Select * from PLS.ABC" failed. check that the table exists in the database. and surely the table is there.
2. I have a foreach loop that iterates through all the table names and the table names are passed onwards to the varaible query, the dataflow task inside the foreach loop gets the variable query and will generate text files based on tablenames which i have supplied in another variable to the connectionstring property of the flatfile destination. Is it possible or not. all the tables have different columns and i need the output in text files.
I have a text file which has rows 7 rows.I want to insert the data into SQL table using ssis In text file we have a column which has values as Y or N...I wanted to take only those rows which are Y...But we have only 6 rows in SQL table.It does not have the column with Y or N.
I am developing a table driven ETL system, where I store large PL/SQL queries in a varchar(max) field. I read the field into an object variable at the package level using a SQL task. Next I have a C# script task that creates a connection to our Oracle database using the Oracle provider. I am trying to set the Command.Text property to the PL/SQL statement I've stored in the package level object variable, but I'm having difficulty getting the Pl/SQL text back out of the object.
I've tried Object.value.tostring, but it just returns a generic "system__text". how I can proceed?
In my package , I am used CDC Source transformation and received the Net changes then insert into Destination. But whatever Data coming from CDC source data type Varchar value needs to Converting Non Unicode string to Unicode string SSIS. So used Data conversion transformation to achieved this. I need to achieve this without data conversion.
I'm importing comma-delimited text files into a SQL table. The data imports in a seemingly random order. One time I import and the lines appear one way and the next time I import they import another way.
Is there a way to force the text files to import in the same order the data is found in the file?
