Set DTS Destination As Temp Table?

Mar 2, 2004

Hi

My DTS package does nothing special it just pulls in an data from another server (specifying the SQL in a Global V).

This data is then altered using various Stored Procedures.

What would be nice is if the data's destination table could be a #temp table (within tempdb) and then my sps could access it and perform their various operations.

At the moment i cannot get this to work and instead all i can think of is to Create a table within the main working db and insert the data into that and then insert the data into a #temp table and DROP the table i created in the working database.

There must be a better way to achieve this.
Is there any way to copy the data straight to the #temp table i have created?

How Can Data Flow Destination Be A Temp Table?

Sep 26, 2007

I have a series of data flow tasks that I want to output to a temp table. I've set the data source for RetainSameConnection and the Data Flows are DelayValidation. The OLE DB data source inside the Data Flow works fine, but the data destinations don't offer a # or ## as a target. I've tried every destination that sounds logical, without success.

Any pointers? ... Thanks!

Integration Services :: Using Temp Table As OleDB Destination

Jun 26, 2015

I have to combine data from DB2 and SQL server and do some manipuation. I wanted to do union all and put in temp table for further manipulation. I created a temp table in control flow, 

CREATE TABLE ##SiteTemp
    (
      LEVEL2 VARCHAR(20),
      LEVEL3  VARCHAR(25)

Then I was trying to use that temp table for destination but I can do see that in destination. I have to automate the package and do that everyday. I read some blogs but did not understand how they did it. I did set retainsameconnection to true. I did find this thread but i did not understand how it was done. URL....

I have two OBL DB sources, Then I have Union ALL and then OLE Destination in data flow.I have the temp table code in Execute sql task.

Temp Table Vs Global Temp Table

Jun 24, 1999

I think this is a very simple question, however, I don't know the
answer. What is the difference between a regular Temp table
and a Global Temp table? I need to create a temp table within
an sp that all users will use. I want the table recreated each
time someone accesses the sp, though, because some of the
same info may need to be inserted and I don't want any PK errors.

thanks!!

SQL Server 2012 :: Stored Procedures Compiles Even When There Is No CREATE TABLE For A Temp Table

Feb 11, 2015

i am inserting something into the temp table even without creating it before. But this does not give any compilation error. Only when I want to execute the stored procedure I get the error message that there is an invalid temp table. Should this not result in a compilation error rather during the execution time.?

--create the procedure and insert into the temp table without creating it.
--no compilation error.
CREATE PROC testTemp
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO #tmp(dt)
SELECT GETDATE()
END

only on calling the proc does this give an execution error

Power Pivot :: Temp Table Or Table Variable In Query (not Stored Procedure)?

Jul 19, 2012

I don't know if it's a local issue but I can't use temp table or table variable in a PP query (so not in a stored procedure).

Environment: W7 enterprise desktop 32 + Office 2012 32 + PowerPivot 2012 32

Simple example:
    declare @tTable(col1 int)
    insert into @tTable(col1) values (1)
    select * from @tTable

Works perfectly in SQL Server Management Studio and the database connection is OK to as I may generate PP table using complex (or simple) queries without difficulty.

But when trying to get this same result in a PP table I get an error, idem when replacing table variable by a temporary table.

Message: OLE DB or ODBC error. .... The current operation was cancelled because another operation the the transaction failed.

SQL Tools :: Adding Column To A Table Causes Copying Data Into Temp Table

Sep 23, 2015

If on the source I have a new column, the script generated by SqlPackage.exe recreates the table on the background with moving the data into a temp storage. If the table is big, such approach can cause issues.

Example of the script is below: in the source project I added columns [MyColumn_LINE_1]  and [MyColumn_LINE_5].

Is there any way I can make it generating an alter statement instead?

BEGIN TRANSACTION;
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;
SET XACT_ABORT ON;
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tmp_ms_xx_MyTable] (
[MyColumn_TYPE_CODE] CHAR (3) NOT NULL,

[Code] ....

The same script is generated regardless the table having data or not, having a clustered or nonclustered PK.

Column Name Or Number Of Supplied Values Does Not Match Table Definition When Trying To Populate Temp Table

Jun 6, 2005

Hello,

I am receiving the following error:

Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition

I am trying to insert values into a temp table, using values from the table I copied the structure from, like this:

SELECT TOP 1 * INTO #tbl_User_Temp FROM tbl_User
TRUNCATE TABLE #tbl_User_Temp

INSERT INTO #tbl_User_Temp EXECUTE UserPersist_GetUserByCriteria @Gender = 'Male', @Culture = 'en-GB'

The SP UserPersist_GetByCriteria does a
"SELECT * FROM tbl_User WHERE gender = @Gender AND culture = @Culture",
so why am I receiving this error when both tables have the same
structure?

The error is being reported as coming from UserPersist_GetByCriteria on the "SELECT * FROM tbl_User" line.

Thanks,
Greg.

Transpose Source Data From A System Via Metadata Lookup Table Into Destination Table

Apr 1, 2014

I am stuck on finding a solution to transpose source data from a system via a metadata look-up table into a destination table. I need a method to transpose/pivot the source data into columns (which are by various data-types). The datatypes for each column are listed in a metadata table.

Source Data Table:

Table Name: Source

SrcID AGE City Date
01 32 London 01-01-2013
02 35 Lagos 02-01-2013
03 36 NY 03-01-2013

Metadata Table:

Table Name:Metadata

MetaID Column_Name Column_type
11 AGE col_integer
22 City col_character
33 Date col_date

Destination table:

The source data to be loaded into the destination table(as shown below):

Table Name: Destination

SrcID MetaID col_int col_char col_date
01 11 32 - -
01 22 - London -
01 33 - - 01-01-2013

Transact SQL :: Table Structure - Inserting Data From Other Temp Table

Aug 14, 2015

Below is my table structure. And I am inserting data from other temp table.

CREATE TABLE #revf (
[Cusip] [VARCHAR](50) NULL, [sponfID] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, GroupSeries [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [tran] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [AddDate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [SetDate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [PoolNumber] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [Aggregate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [Price] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [NetAmount] [VARCHAR](max) NULL,

[Code] ....

Now in a next step I am deleting the records from #revf table. Please see the delete code below

DELETE
FROM #revf
WHERE fi_gnmaid IN (
SELECT DISTINCT r2.fi_gnmaid
FROM #revf r1, #revf r2

[Code] ...

I don't want to create this #rev table so that i can avoid the delete statement. But data should not affect. Can i rewrite the above as below:

SELECT [Cusip], [sponfID], GroupSeries, [tran], [AddDate], [SetDate], [PoolNumber], [Aggregate], [Price], [NetAmount], [Interest],
[Coupon], [TradeDate], [ReversalDate], [Description], [ImportDate], MAX([fi_gnmaid]) AS Fi_GNMAID, accounttype, [IgnoreFlag], [IgnoreReason], IncludeReversals, DatasetID, [DeloitteTaxComments], [ReconciliationID],

[Code] ....

If my above statement is wrong . Where i can improve here? And actually i am getting 4 rows difference.

Hello

Is it possible to insert data into a temp table with data returned from a stored procedure joined with data from another table?

insert #MyTempTable

JOIN dbo.OtherTable...

I'm missing something before the JOIN command. The temp table needs to know which fields need be updated.

I just can't figure it out

Transact SQL :: Insert Data From Temp Table To Other Table

Oct 5, 2015

I want to insert the data from temp table to other table. Only condition is, it needs to sorted based on tool number and tool date. For example if we have ten records for tool number 1000, it should be order by tool number and then based on tool_dt. Both tables doesn't have any primary keys. Please find below my code. I removed all the unnecessary columns for simple understanding. INSERT INTO tool_summary  (tool_nbr, tool_dt) select tool_nbr, tool_dt from #tool order by tool_nbr, tool_dt...But this query is not working as expected. Data is getting shuffled.

Actual Data

Rename Table After Loading Data Into Temp Table

Dec 19, 2007

WE have a job that loads data from an Oralce DB into our SQL Server 2000 DB twice a day. The schedule has just changed so that now there is a possibility of having my west coast users impacted when it runs at 5 PM PST and my east coast users impacted when it runs at 7 AM EST. As a workaround, I have developed a DTS package that loads the data into temp tables instead of the real tables. IE. Oracle -> XTable_temp instead of Oracle -> XTable. The load sometimes takes about an hour to an hour and a half to load, so this solution works great, but I want to then lock the table, delete it and rename the temp table to table X. The pseudo code would be:

Begin Transaction


Lock Table XTable

Drop XTable

Alter Table XTable_temp rename to XTable

Release Lock XTable

End Transaction

Create XTable_temp

I see two issues with this solution. 1) I think if I can lock XTable that the lock would be released when the table is dropped and the XTable_temp was being renamed. 2) I can't find a command to rename a table.

Any ideas on a process that might help?


TIA,

A

Trigger- Dump 'inserted' Table To Temp Table

Jul 11, 2006

I want to pass the 'inserted' table from a trigger into an SP, I think I need to do this by dumping inserted table into a temporary table and passing the temp table. However, I need to do this for many tables, and don't want to list all the column names for each table/trigger (maintenance nightmare).

Can I dump the 'inserted' table to a temp table WITHOUT specifying the column names?

Global Temp Table Vs. Permanent Table Use

Dec 17, 2004

I need to decide what is better to use: global temp table ( I can't use local one) or permanent table in SQL 2000 stored procedures. I extract data from linked server table and update several tables on our server.
Those procedures scheduled to run every 3 hours.

Another question: for some reasons when I used global temp table, I wasn't able to schedule multi steps with every step executing one of the stored procedures.I think global temp tables should be visible to other stored procedures, right?

Your suggestions?

Table Variable Versus #Temp Table

In a previous post "Could #TempTable within SP cause lock on tempdb?" http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx?postid=2691763&siteid=1

It was obvious that we have to limit the use of #Temp table to a minimum. Let assume that some of the temp tables are really difficult to replace and we have to live with them.

Would it be easier on tempdb if the #TempTable is replaced by a table variable? Or do they all end up in tempdb?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Use master
UPDATE [dbname].dbo.table
SET [dbname].dbo.table.field1 = [tempdb].dbo.#temp_table.tempfield1
WHERE ( [dbname].dbo.table.field2= [tempdb].dbo.#temp_table.tempfield2

Temp Table?

Feb 22, 2005

I have 2 sql tables. One containing sales agents and sub-agents (Up to 5 or 6 levels deep), the other containing customers. Each customer has an agent associated with them. Agents Table - AgentId - ParentId Customers Table - CustomerId - AgentId What I need to do is when you select an agent, I need to return all of that agents customers AND all of that agents sub-agents customers, and down the tree like that. I think the way to do this is to use a Stored Procedure to create a TEMP table and then select theh top level agent, then continue a loop to get their subagents, then each of their subagents, etc.. and put the results all in this temp table. I then can call the temp table and retrieve the customers where the agent id matches any of the agents in the temp table. Am I thinking the correct way on this? I have never even built a stored procedure before, so can anyone help me with any tutorials or syntax for doing this? I still haven't been able to google anything yet. Thanks!
