Variable Table Names In DTS Package
Jul 20, 2005
I am attempting to export data on a daily basis via DTS to an XL
spreadsheet. I would either like to: a) have a separate worksheet in
the spreadsheet for each export or b) a completely different
spreadsheet for each export. Whenever I attempt to use a variable as
the name of my table in the DTS package, it will not let me.
Constructing a string and attempting to execute it also fails,
although both of these work in query analyzer. Any advice?

I am designing a package to export staging tables into a flat file.The names of the tables will be: TableAStaging_YYYYMM and TableBStaging_YYYYMM. As you can see the names of the tables will be changing each month.
The flat files will have similar naming: C:MyPathFlatFileTableAStaging__YYYYMM and C:MyPathFlatFileTableAStaging__YYYYMM.I want to run the package as an sql job in two steps, one for each table.I need to dynamically pass the table names and file names (together with the path) to the IS package.

Greetings!I am now doing one type of analysis every month, and wanted to creattable names in a more efficient way.Here is what happens now, everytime I do the analysis, I will create atable called something like customer_20050930, and then update thetable by using several update steps. Then next month I will create atable called customer_20051031. Does anyone know if there is a betterway to do it? like using a macro variable for the month-end date? Noweverytime I have to change the table name in every single update step,which would cause errors if I forget to change one of them. By using amacro, I would only need to change it once.Thanks!

Ok I am faced with working with XML on a regular basis, which is fine.
DECLARE @ViewSN INT
IF NOT EXISTS (select null from tblviews where viewcode = 'loadAtTerm') --<workflowEventType>loadAtTerminal</workflowEventType>
insert into tblviews (ViewName,Description,OutBoundForm,StoredProcSN,TriggersReply,ViewCode,DispXactLayer,DispXactViewType,DispXfcTag,Comments)
select 'QC:WF-LoadAtTerminal','This View Corresponds to the XML for loadAtTerminal in Omnitracs Workflow','0',NULL,'0', 'loadAtTerm','MCOM','MCOM',NULL,NULL
[code]...
What would be really useful is to be able to present any xml file and automatically parse the NODE names into a memory variable table and then the fields of each node in another.

Hi,
I have created a DTS Package which copies data from a Access Database table to a SQL Server table. The DTS Package is scheduled to execute every 15 minutes. Everyday the source table name will change. Is there a way to reset the source table name everyday without changing it through DTS wizard.
Thanks,
Vivek Gupta

Is there anyone know if a simple SSIS package (moving data from source table to target table) or task can be called repeatedly using a variable that obtains value once a time from a metadata table containing only table names. Basically, I would like to pass in a table variable to the SSIS package or task to start the ETL for different tables. Thanks a lot!

Hi
I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how we could find the table names and column names of the tables in our Sql server database at runtime/dynamically given our connection string? Please let me know.
Thanks.

I'm working on an SSIS package that uses a vb.net script to grab some XML from a webservice (I'd explain why I'm not using a web service task here, but I'd just get angry), and I wish to then assign the XML string to a package variable which then gets sent along to a DataFlow Task that contains an XML Source that points at said variable. when I copy the XML string into the variable value in the script, if do a quickwatch on the variable (as in Dts.Variable("MyXML").value) it looks as though the new value has been copied to the variable, but when I step out of that task and look at the package explorer the variable is its original value.
I think the problem is that the dataflow XML source has a lock on the variable and so the script task isn't affecting it. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of problem, or know a workaround?

I am writing a stored procedure in which I have a query that selects the Headings of Columns from another table...
I want to then create a loop that will contain a variable with the value of the column heading and then set the column to a value of NULL...
Is there any way to accomplish this???
I thought about placing these values into a temp table...
This is what I have so far...
Declare @QueryX nvarchar(500)
Declare @FieldName varchar(20)
Create Table #UpdateRejDoc
(
Abbreviation varchar(20)
)
Insert into #UpdateRejDoc
Select Abbreviation
From tbl_Titles
left JOIN tbl_TitleRouting on tbl_Titles.Title_ID = tbl_TitleRouting.Title_ID
Where tbl_TitleRouting.Application_ID = @Application_ID
While Exists (Select Abbreviation from #UpdateRejDoc)
Begin
Set @QueryX = 'Update DBLandfillUser.tbl_ObjectApprovals' +
'@AppName + Set @FieldName = null Where object_id =' + Cast(@object_id as VarChar(20))
End

I'm trying to do an update query that looks like this:
UPDATE
PAEMPLOYEE
SET PAEMPLOYEE.LOCAT_CODE = EMPLOYEE.PROCESS_LEVEL
FROM
PAEMPLOYEE A
JOIN EMPLOYEE B ON A.EMPLOYEE = B.EMPLOYEE
It's erroring out on the Employee prefix B.EMPLOYEE saying:
..."does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query"
Is it wrong or will it cause problems to have a field name the same as the table name?

I have created a SSIS package with a Foreach Loop including a Data Flow Task, which in turn include a Row Count component which pass the row count value to variable with package scope. The variable is used in an Execute SQL Task following the Data Flow Task.
The package executes successfully when executed on its own, but when executed as a child from a parent package (which only include an Execute Package Task) the variable from the Foreach Loop becomes NULL.
There are a lot of other variables in the package receiving values dynamically without any problem, the row count variable however is the only variable in the package that receives a value as part of a Data Flow (and used in following tasks within the Foreach Loop).
Why does the variable become Null? For your information, I am using a variable with package scope and no variables from the parent package are used or passed from the child package to the parent package.
(For your information, we are running the 64 bit version)

We
have one main package from which 7 other child packages are called. We are using
ParentPackage variables to assign values for variables and database connections.
While the values from ParentPackage variable get assigned to some of the
packages properly, to others it doesn€™t assign the value.
For example:
Except for one of the packages the database connection string gets assigned
properly to all other packages.
Similarly, in another package one of the
variables doesn€™t get assigned. In other packages it is assigned properly.
We
have checked all the other property values and they are exactly the same.
We cannot make any head or tail of this erratic behavior.
Please Help.

like this i don't get this error
The variable name '@Start_Date' has already been declared. Variable names must be unique within a query batch or stored procedure.

The variable name '@End_Date' has already been declared. Variable names must be unique within a query batch or stored procedure.

Hi,
I have packages stored in SQL store. I was letting users run the packages from a .net app that I made with
Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Now I have noticed this causes the packages to run on the client pc cpu, as well as the network traffic is done via the client pc, in my particular case this is slow.
From the doc and in this forum I have found that you can run a package on the Server cpu through sql agent, let packages be run in a sql job. after that you can start a package from an application with the SQL sp_start_job .
But How do you set a user::varibale in a package if you have to start the package from a sql agent job ?

Hi,
Our company wants to allow our customers the ability to import employee data. Each customer's employee data changes depending on things like organisation structure etc. so the format of the data to be imported needs to change. We can do a lot of this with dynamic SQL, but are looking at moving it to SSIS as we think it will save us a lot of pain later on and for other features in SSIS.
We're stuck at a fairly early part of the process as we don't know how to dynamically import our spreadsheet. So far our best idea is to connect to the excel connection as the only step in the data task and then to use a script task on the control task, write code to connect to the excel source (set the excel source to not treat the first row as headers so we can do a 'select top 1 *...' ) then create a dynamic sql command to create the table.
Once this is done we would then have another data task that actually puts the data into the newly created table. This all sounds very difficult though. What are the options for doing what we want to do... have a feeling that we're missing something basic.
Any help appreciated,
TIA, Anthony.

CREATE TABLE #T(branchnumber VARCHAR(4000))
insert into #t(branchnumber) values (005)
insert into #t(branchnumber) values (090)
insert into #t(branchnumber) values (115)

[code]....
I have a parameter which should take multiple values into it and pass that to the code that i use. For, this i created a parameter and temporarily for testing i am passing some values into it.Using a dynamic SQL i am converting multiple values into multiple records as rows into another variable (called @QUERY). My question is, how to insert the values from variable into a table (table variable or temp table or CTE).OR Is there any way to parse the multiple values into a table. like if we pass multiple values into a parameter. those should go into a table as rows.

Hello,
Maybe anyone have done that before?
I have table where i store SOURCE_TABLE_NAME and DESTINATION_TABLE_NAME, there is about 120+ tables.
i need make SSIS package which selects SOURCE_TABLE_NAME from source ole db, and loads it to DESTINATION_TABLE_NAME in destination ole db.
I made such SSIS package. set ole db source data access mode to table or view name variable.
set ole db destination data access mode to table or view name variable. set to variables defoult values (names of existing tables)
but when i loop table names is changed, it reports error, that can map columns, becouse in new tables is different columns.
how to solve that problem?

How do I use table names stored in variables in stored procedures?
Code Snippetif (select count(*) from @tablename) = 0 or (select count(*) from @tablename) = 1000000
I receive the error 'must declare table variable '@tablename''
I've looked into table variables and they are not what I would require to accomplish what is needed.
After browsing through the forums I believe I need to use dynamic sql particuarly involving sp_executesql. However, I am pretty new at sql and do not really understand how to use this and receive an output parameter from it(msdn kind of confuses me too). I am tryin got receive an integer count of the records from a certain table which can change to anything depending on what the user requires.
Code Snippet
if exists(Select * from sysobjects where name = @temptablename)
drop table @temptablename
It does not like the 'drop table @temptablename' part here. This probably wouldn't be an issue if I could get temporary tables to work, however when I use temporary tables i get invalid object '#temptable'.
Heres what the stored procedure does.
I duplicate a table that is going to be modified by using 'select into temptable'
I add the records required using 'Insert into temptable(Columns) Select(Columns)f rom TableA'
then I truncate the original table that is being modified and insert the temporary table into the original.
Heres the actual SQL query that produces the temporary table error.
Code Snippet
Select * into #temptableabcd from TableA
Insert into #temptableabcd(ColumnA, ColumnB,Field_01, Field_02)
SELECT ColumnA, ColumnB, Sum(ABC_01) as 'Field_01', Sum(ABC_02) as 'Field_02',
FROM TableB
where ColumnB = 003860
Group By ColumnA, ColumnB
TRUNCATE TABLE TableA
Insert into TableA(ColumnA, ColumnB,Field_01, Field_02)
Select ColumnA, ColumnB, Sum(Field_01) as 'Field_01', Sum('Field_02) as 'Field_02',
From #temptableabcd
Group by ColumnA, ColumnB
The above coding produces
Msg 208, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Invalid object name '#temptableabcd'.
Why does this seem to work when I use an actual table? With an actual table the SQL runs smoothly, however that creates the table names as a variable problem from above. Is there certain limitation with temporary tables in stored procedures? How would I get the temporary table to work in this case if possible?
Thanks for the help.

I want to take this a step further and create a function that will return a set of tablenames in a table based on a 'group' parameter which is a simple integer...1->9, etc.Obviously, what I am doing is not working out.
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fnReturnTablesForGroup

Hello,
It is possible to write stored procedures which take table names as parameters; is it also possible to do this with table valued functions?
For example, a simple stored procedure is this:
CREATE PROCEDURE SelectTop(@tableName sysname)
AS
BEGIN
Execute('Select top 10 * from ' + @tableName + ';')
END
I want to be able to do the analogous thing with a table valued function (so that I can query the result set, without having to create a temp table). How should I do this (i.e., pass a tablename as an argument to a table valued function)?

Hi there. I haven't been able to figure out how to join a table on column on multiple table names. Here's the situation:
I have a table "tblJob" with a key of jobID. Now for every jobID, the program creates a new table that keeps track of the stock before the jobId was processed and after it was processed to give accurate stock levels and show the difference in stock levels. So, a jobID of 355 would be related to the table: "tblPreStock_335" and "tblPostStock_335". These 2 tables have all the materials in stock and the quantity. Therefore they show how much material was used. I need to figure out the difference in the material in the stock before and after the processing.
That means that I have to get a stockID, get the associated pre and post tables, and then display the difference of ALL the materials in the pre and post tables.
Could someone help me get started on the right path? Even a link to similiar problem that I haven't found would be nice.
Thx
