SELECT a.TestID, a.TestCode FROM TableA a WHERE UPPER(RTRIM(a.TestCode)) IN SELECT (SELECT UPPER(RTRIM(b.TestCode)) FROM TableB b)
Of course the above query is missing a few things but with ETL the where clause UPPER(RTRIM does not appear to be something that has an object or property that I can use in the Lookup.
Hi, I have an example situation that seems like it should have a super easy solution, but my jobs keep failing. Here we go. . .
I have a SQL Server 2005 table as my source in a data flow task. This table contains raw data. We'll call it FACT_Product_Raw - which contains a field called ProductType varchar(1) Let's say that ProductType contains values of "A" or "B" or "C" - or for that matter, some null and garbage values
I have a lookup table, LOV_Product_Types This table contains 3 fields that will transform my raw data table We'll call these fields ProdTypeID smallint, ProdTypeRaw varchar(1) and ProdType smallint It contains pairs such that A = 1, B = 2, and so on.
Here's what I want to do. I want to ADD a field to FACT_Product_Raw that contains the "looked up" value from LOV_Product_Types. Let's say that I want to add the ProdTypeID field to my _Raw table.
I have used the _Raw table as both my source and destination It blows up every time. Help. Thanks, David
In order to update an Oracle table target from a SQL Server table source I need to use a Foreach Loop Container, so I can loop on the rows of the SQL Server table source. This source table has two columns: the old identifier to update and the new identifier to apply. I must use the value of the old identifier to filter the Oracle rows to update, while the new identifier is the new value to assign to the filtered old identifier.
I already know how to use the Foreach Loop Container when it is necessary to loop on an unique column of a table/view (using an object variable, using a Foreach ADO enumerator, etc.), but I need to loop on two columns.
Can I add Output Columns to the Script Transformation Editor using code? I have to execute a SQL Statement to determine the number of years we have the data for for an item and then create the columns for the months in those years and populate them with the quantities. So my question is can I create output columns to the Script Transformation Editor on the fly that is as it is being executed?
Is there by chance a cunning way to make the input columns automatically populate the output of an asynchronous script transformation?
My transformation writes several rows for each input row read. I'm creating some new columns along the way but I'd like all of the input columns to get output each time also. However I can't see any obvious way to achieve this, short of manually defining each column to the output and populating it in the script.
I am using a script component to transform data. In the script component I created a bunch of fields for the output. Is there any way to loop through that list of columns? Is there code I can use in the script component to access the names, data types, data etc?
I saw a lot of informaiton on the OutputColumnCollection as part of some IDTSOuput90 thing (greek to me). As best I can guess this is for creating your own new columns, but can I see what columns are already defined via the script interface?
I would like my transformation to automatically create an output column for each input column. Any tips? I can't seem to determine which event to listen to or method to override.
The documentation on the fuzzy lookup transform mentions that only columns of type DT_WSTR and DT_STR can be used in fuzzy matching. I interpreted this as meaning that you could not create a mapping between an input column of type DT_NTEXT and a column from the reference table. I assumed that you could still have a DT_NTEXT column as part of the input and mark this as a pass through column so that it's value could be inserted in the destination, together with the result of the lookup operation. Apparently this is not the case. Validation fails with the following message: 'The data type of column 'fieldname' is not supported.' First, I'd like to confirm that this is really the case and that I have not misinterpreted this limitation.
Finally, given the following situation
- A data source with input columns
Field_A DT_STR Field_B DT_NTEXT
- A fuzzy lookup is used to match Field_A to a row in the reference table and obtain Field_C.
- Finally, Field_B and Field_C must be inserted into the destination.
I'll try to reproduce this later, but want to report it before I forget.
I just had my package fail on a VM I was testing on. It failed because on that machine, I logged in as MachineNameAdministrator instead of using my domain account (the VM is not in the domain).
This was a problem because the "User Name" column generated by the Audit Transformation was 17 characters long! This is the length of my domain + user name on my development machine. Similarly, the machine name length was 15 characters.
I'd love to know what the "correct" sizes are for these columns. In the meantime, I'm going to set these to 255 manually, and hope the size sticks.
P.S. There was one other post on this topic, though the thread isn't clear that this was the problem: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=472445&SiteID=1.
In SSIS I use the DQS Cleansing transformation component. I've got a knowledge base (KB) in place and this KB holds various domains and my data source has more input columns than would like to use for a particular clean up operation. I want to use some of the input columns to map against some domains in the KB. It is my understanding that it should be possible to select only the required input columns, but all i can do is select all input columns.
I'm creating a new Integration Services Project that copies data out of a SQL 7 server, transforms it, and places the data on a SQL 2005 (SP 2) Server. When defining a lookup transformation, if I specify an OLE DB Connection to my server running SQL 7 as the reference table, as soon as I click on the Colums tab, Visual Studio closes / crashes and dumps me to windows. I don't get an error message. If however I specify a connection to a server running SQL 8, or SQL 2005, no problems.
Is this supposed to happen?
My workstation is running Windows XP Pro SP2, Visual Studio 2005 Pro.
Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Designer Version 9.00.1399.00
The server that doesn't work for a reference table is running Windows 2000 Server SP4 SQL 7.00.623
I have begun using SSIS and I am a little taken aback by the complexity of it especially since I just want to do a simple data transformation such as in DTS. Are there any tutorials for data transformation for SSIS on the web/this forum and what if I want to do a simple transformation from Access to SQL Server?
Hey all - got a problem that seems like it would be simple (and probably is : )
I'm importing a csv file into a SQL 2005 table and would like to add 2 columns that exist in the table but not in the csv file. I need these 2 columns to contain the current month and year (columns are named CM and CY respectively). How do I go about adding this data to each row during the transformation? A derived column task? Script task? None of these seem to be able to do this for me.
Here's a portion of the transformation script I was using to accomplish this when we were using SQL 2000 DTS jobs:
' Copy each source column to the destination column Function Main() DTSDestination("CM") = Month(Now) DTSDestination("CY") = Year(Now) DTSDestination("Comments") = DTSSource("Col031") DTSDestination("Manufacturer") = DTSSource("Col030") DTSDestination("Model") = DTSSource("Col029") DTSDestination("Last Check-in Date") = DTSSource("Col028") Main = DTSTransformStat_OK End Function *********************************************************** Hopefully this question isnt answered somewhere else, but I did a quick search and came up with nothing. I've actually tried to utilize the script component and the "Row" object, but the only properties I'm given with that are the ones from the source data.
My issue is the inner join transformation in SSIS. See i ll explain my problem clearly now.....
Actually i m just checkin if the inner join performed in business intelligence studio usin the inner join transformation and the inner join performed in the management studio using queries are same. Logically both the resultset should match isn't but in my case it is not so. It is very important for me to figure out where the problem is because i m goin to use lotsa inner join transformations in my current project.
I ll appreciate if someone can help me to figure out this problem. May be you can also tell me the detailed steps in adding the inner join transformation and also how it works.
I have a flatfile source to which different flatfiles will be passed as input,this is connected to an OLEDB destination which changes along with the sourcefile. But when the new file is given as input, the OLEDB mappings are not getting refreshed.It is showing an error.
Actually this was implemented in DTS, and they have used an activex script for the transformation. what shd I use in SSIS?
Hi I have migrated a DTS that had some activeX transformation tasks within data pump flow tasks.
Those parts were migrated as "DTS 2000 tasks" .. so activeX transformation tasks aren't possible in SSIS ? I know ActiveX script tasks are but for transformations ?
1. IF i leave these Encapsulated DTS 2000 tasks in the migrated SSIS package, will it run independently of the original DTS or does it need the old DTS running to "call" that part from ? (I hope im making sense here) is it possible to load this functionality internally into the new SSIS ?
2. How could I (if i can't do ActiveX transformation tasks) achieve this is SSIS ? can I achive this using the script tasks in SSIS ?
Can someone help me out in providing the STEPS to solve this problem. My scneario is, I've a table which has got 2 fields and 5 default row values have been filled in. Now, using the above, duirng package runtime, it need to dynamically create additional field and has to store values like for.e.g (0001 America). I'm getting the following error while executing the ssis package.
1. [DTS.Pipeline] Warning: Component "Derived Column" (1170) has been removed from the Data Flow task because its output is not used and its inputs have no side effects. If the component is required, then the HasSideEffects property on at least one of its inputs should be set to true, or its output should be connected to something. 2. [DTS.Pipeline] Warning: Source "OLE DB Source Output" (87) will not be read because none of its data ever becomes visible outside the Data Flow Task.
Please suggest with your valuable solution at the earliest.
I want to take the contents from a table of appointments and insert theappointments for any given month into a temp table where all theappointments for each day are inserted into a single row with a columnfor each day of the month.Is there a simple way to do this?I have a recordset that looks like:SELECTa.Date,a.Client --contents: Joe, Frank, Fred, Pete, OscarFROMdbo.tblAppointments aWHEREa.date between ...(first and last day of the selected month)What I want to do is to create a temp table that has 31 columnsto hold appointments and insert into each column any appointments forthe date...CREATE TABLE #Appointments (id int identity, Day1 nvarchar(500), Day2nvarchar(500), Day3 nvarchar(500), etc...)Then loop through the recordset above to insert into Day1, Day 2, Day3,etc. all the appointments for that day, with multiple appointmentsseparated by a comma.INSERT INTO#Appointments(Day1)SELECTa.ClientFROMdbo.tblAppointments aWHEREa.date = (...first day of the month)(LOOP to Day31)The results would look likeDay1 Day2 Day3 ...Row1 Joe, PeteFrank,FredMaybe there's an even better way to handle this sort of situation?Thanks,lq
Is there way to rename parameters Param_0, Param_1 in OLEDBCommand transformation? I am trying to create table driven packages using BIML. I am using OLEDBCommand Transformation to update rows. But since, I will not be sure of how many parameters and order of the parameters, I was planning to rename the parameter programmatically, so that accordingly I can build the update statement and add filter condition.
I just ran across an interesting problem, that makes no sense. I built an SSIS package that updates a column, using an transformation script. Testing in Debug mode everything runs perfectly, but when I have SQL sever agent run the package it insert null into the new column.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
First let me say, I really can't believe this chain of events myself--and they are happening to me.
I am upgrading several DTS packages to SSIS on what will be my new production server. These packages create tables, export them to a flat file, and ftp them off to other locations.
What is happening (on the SSIS side) is that the OLE DB Source is reordering some of the columns on its own (moving them to the end of the table/file. Then when my pickup/load routines run, the data is out of place and they fail.
Can anyone please explain what is happening here with the mapping. I have evaluated the table and the columns are in the order that I expect. When I preview the source table in the OLE DB Source Editor the columns are in the correct order/alignment, but when them in the OLE DB Source Editor --Columns section within BIDS the order is changed arbitrarily.
I have been somewhat successful (2 out of 3) in being able to re-map the data, but this last table just doesn't want to change.
Thanks in advance for any help and/or information you can provide
I€™ve made a SSIS package which might take source columns from a plain text file and copy them to the Sql table. A long time ago, when you did the process I did by dts and that stuff included a pump task which had ActiveX Script transform column with VbScript stuff inside so that, how do I for to do the same with SSIS??
I€™ve got a couple of tasks: Flat File Source and OleDb Source Destination but it€™s useless at all for that goal.
I have to load on SS2012 hundeds of excel files produced by an application over the last five years, during time few columns have been added to the initial set.I created on SS2012 a table to match with the full set of columns and want to load all the files inside the table leaving the missing cells to NULL. I think SSIS can do the job but every trial failed do far.
I'd need an help because I'm stucked!! I have to import an Excel file into my DB. The Excel file is made by 2 worksheets but I need only one and inside this worksheet I have to loop through the columns and for each column I define a Data Flow that trasform the data as necessary and then insert into the table.
I started with a "Foreach ADO.NET Schema Rowset Enumerator" with connection=excel file and the schema was set to "Columns" but the loop go also through the worksheet that I don't need..
after 4 hours of tries I'm lost... Someone could give me an advice? ThankX Marina B.
I want to run a loop for all the input columns in the script component. My requirement is, I have nearly 50 columns in the input columns list. For each row and for each column I need to do some operation. How Can I run a loop for each column. Please note in the script component I need to get the column names in the middle for some operations. Please see below.
Process Each Input Row
For each column in Input column list .... .... If column.Name Starts with "Test" then set NULL to the column value .... .... End Loop
I have a table A with a KEY column and SSN column. KEY = 12 digits ( first 3 digits are Department Id , and last 9 digits are SSN)
I have a table B with SSN column only.
both KEY and SSN columns are Primary keys so duplicate entries must be Avoided.
Table A is intended to be popluated weekly from TXT file (SSIS package RUN). I want to achieve somethign like this..!
P-Code sample:
for each Row in TXT file if TXTfile.KEY = TableA.KEY then skip and Read/Go to next Row in TXT file else INSERT TXTfile.KEY into TABLEA.KEY SSN_Var = EXTRACT the SSN part (SSNpart.READ) if SSN_VAR.Exists In TableB.AnyRow then skip else Insert into TableB End If. End If End For Loop.
----------------------------------------------------------------- Using SSIS controls, what will be best flow and logic to achieve this.....? any sample scripting code ????
