WANT TO SKIP ROWS AAND ALSO UNPIVOT
Jun 12, 2007
hI,
i have this particular problem with the unpivot.The below is my flat file source.The dates can go upto 130 columns.this count can also vary.SM,SR,SB are again values repeating for diff instrument.They are the values of the instrument on the particular dates.This is a snap shot of one feed.Other feeds may have the dates differing.How do i read this file.
Problem 1:If i skip the first row and unpivot the 2nd row,then with the new feed,with new dates my SSIS package will bomb as it will not find the col names.
Problem 2:IF i uncheck the "Use first row as column headers" then the problem 1 is solved but the o/p will be
20080101
20061102
20061103
1.2
1.3
1.2.
1.5
.....and so on..
IS there any other way to fix this.These are feeds with the spread values of instruments on particular dates.Please help.

Hi,
How to skip my 12 header rows from XLS input source?
(before the Excel driver reads (by default, 8 rows) in the specified source to guess at the data type of each column.)
thx,

OK. We know there is Header rows to skip options and it works great.
I've got the file that has a "footer". Here is an example:
.
PSC
filename=table1
records=0000000000525
ldbname=db1
timestamp=2006/02/07-16:25:00
numformat=44,46
dateformat=mdy-1910
map=NO-MAP
cpstream=ISO8859-1
.
0000260611
It's ALWAYS last 12 rows.
Is there a way to split at this point and put the 12 rows in a different location? The task is twofold - I don't need these control rows in my data and I need value of "records" to verify loaded number of rows.
UPDATED: After some testing I found out that the Flat File source does not see that footer at all. This is good and bad - I do want to load this metedat into some other tables.
Dima.

Dear all,
In Flat File Source properties windows there's Preview node, when we check that node there's an option to skip the data in how many rows. Is it affect the result ?
Best regards,

I've unpivoted some data and stored it in a temp table variable
idNumFreqDtFreqrn
16100120120101M2
16100120120101M3
16100120100101M4
16100120100101M5
16100120060101M6
16100120000929Q7
16100119990101A8
16100119970101M9
Using the above data, if two rows have the same FreqDt, I want to see the record with the lowest row number.
So it should look like the below
idNumFreqDtFreqrn
16100120120101M2
16100120100101M4
16100120060101M6
16100120000929Q7
16100119990101A8
16100119970101M9
I've used the below code to accomplish it
SELECT DISTINCT
CASE WHEN t2.idNum IS NULL THEN t1.idNum ELSE t2.idNum END,
CASE WHEN t2.FreqDt IS NULL THEN T1.FreqDt else t2.FreqDt END,
CASE WHEN t2.freq is null then t1.freq else t2.freq end
FROM @tmptbl as t1 LEFT JOIN @tmptbl as t2
ON t1.idNum = T2.idNum
AND t1.FreqDt = t2.FreqDt
AND t1.rn = (t2.rn-1)
After all this, I'm supposed to condense the result set to only include sequential frequency dates with unique frequencies.should look like below (this is where I'm stuck)
idNumFreqDtFreq
16100120060101M
16100120000929Q
16100119990101A
16100119970101M
answer is below:
SELECT T1.*
FROM @t as t1 LEFT JOIN @t as t2
ON t1.idnum = T2.idnum
AND t1.freq = t2.freq
AND t1.rn = (t2.rn-1)
WHERE t2.idnum IS NULL

Does sql server have a way to handle errors in a sproc which would allowone to insert rows, ignoring rows which would create a duplicate keyviolation? I know if one loops one can handle the error on a row by rowbasis. But is there a way to skip the loop and do it as a bulk insert?It's easy to do in Access, but I'm curious to know if SQL Server propercan handle like this. I am guessing that a looping operation would beslower to execute?

Just attempting to import a simple tab delimited text file into my SQL Server 2005 database using the SQL Server Import and Export wizard. Column names are specified within the first line of the file. The Header Rows to Skip field value is listed as 0, but the wizard indicates that "The field, Header rows to skip, does not contain a valid numeric value".
Why isn't zero (0) a valid numeric value? I don't want to skip any rows. PLUS, I get the same error when trying to export to a text file although the header rows to skip field does not exist. I can increase the number to 1 or more, but the wizard will skip part of my data .. unacceptable.
What am I missing here? I installed SP1 of SQL server 2005, but that did not help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I have more than 1 set of columns I'm trying to normalize, can an unpivot transform handle 2 unpivots around DIFFERENT keys in the same transform?
If not, would the suggestion be unpivot into temp tables for whatever needs normalizing, than run an update query to generate the row that is desired?
Thanks in advance.

Hi all
I have a flat file.I am trying to set the value for the property "HeaderRowsToSkip" during runtime.I have set an expression for this in my "flat file connection manager". But this is not working.The connection manager is not able to take the value during runtime.
My expression is as follows:
DataRowsToSkip : @[user:: Var]
where "Var" is my variable which gets the value from the rowcount component and trying to set it back to the "HeaderRowsToskip" property.
I ve even tried setting the value to the "HeaderRowsToSkip" property in the expression builder.
Its not working....
Can anyone help me out in solving this????
Thanks in advance

Hi, all,
Could some body give me little help on this? The UNPIVOT is new to sql05, and I did not find many useful helps out there.
My understanding is that it will normalize the data in column name (the UNPIVOT FOR part). As my sample shows here, I want to get that from one of the row.
Here is the sample, and of cause the Select PIVOT part is not working.
Also, if UNPIVOT is not the right way to go after it, what is the right way?
Thanks!
USE tempdb;
GO
If Object_ID('#pvtSales') IS NOT NULL
Drop table dbo.#pvtSales;
GO
Create Table #pvtSales (Prod_ID varchar(10), Prod_desc varchar(10), Col3 varchar(12), Col4 varchar(10), Col5 varchar(12), Col6 varchar(10), Col7 varchar(12), Col8 varchar(10))
INSERT INTO #pvtSales
Select '111', 'my goody', '1', '1.5', '0', '1.5', '1', '1.3' UNION ALL
Select '222', 'my stuff', '0', '0.5', '1', '0.5', '1', '1.0' UNION ALL
Select NULL, NUll, '2007-06-03', NULL, '2007-06-10', NULL, '2007-06-17', NULL UNION ALL
Select '333', 'my goody3', '1', '2', '0', '2', '1', '2'
Select Prod_ID, Prod_desc, Col3, Col4
FROM #pvtSales
UNPIVOT (Col4 for Col3 in (['06/03/2007'],['06/10/2007'],['06/17/2007']) AS U
The result I am looking for:
Prod_ID/Prod_desc/Sale/Cost/SaleDate
111/my goody/1/1.5/2007-06-03
111/my goody/0/1.5/2007-06-10

HI, I have a source that looks like this:
Col1 Code1 Amt1 Col<n>.....Code2 Amt2....
ABC XY 10 FR 345
What I would like to have is this:
Col1 Code Amt Col<n> ...
ABC XY 10
ABC FR 345
I know I could achieve this by using SQL and UNION ALL:
SELECT Col1, Code1 as Code, Amt1 as Amt, Col<n>...
FROM <mySource>
UNION ALL
SELECT Col1, Code2 as Code, Amt2 as Amt, Col<n>...
FROM <mySource>
But I was wondering if the built-in unpivot transform could do the job here.
Thank you

Hi,
my Source-Files are not normalized, so I want some Columns unpivot in Rows. For example my base Table looks something like that
ID ... CustomerNo1 ... CustomerName1 ... CustomerPhone1 ... CustomerNo2 ... CustomerName2 ... CustomerPhone2 ...
After Unpivoting I would like to have a structure like that, where all Attributevalues keep the same, but the different Customers in its own Row
ID ... CustomerNo ... CustomerName ... CustomerPhone
So I take the Unpivot-Transformation Task and configure it with this Values:
Input Column ....... Destination Column ........ Pivot Key Value
CustomerNo1 ....... CustomerNo ................... Customer1
CustomerName1 ... CustomerName .............. Customer1
CustomerPhone1 .. CustomerPhone .............. Customer1
CustomerNo2 ....... CustomerNo ................... Customer2
CustomerName2 ... CustomerName .............. Customer2
CustomerPhone2 .. CustomerPhone ............. Customer2
My Data Flow works fine and everything is going without any errors, but my Destination is without the 3rd Attribute (CustomerPhone). Whats wrong in my configuration?
Thanks ...

Is there a way to do it?

I totally give up.
I need to import an csv file with system monitor performance counters into a sql server 2005 database
example csv format:
"(PDH-CSV 4.0) (W. Europe Daylight Time)(-120)","Server1Memory\% Commited Bytes In Use", )","Server2Memory\%Commited Bytes In Use"
"07/18/2006 10:08:57.295","24.701095057336488","30.701095077776488"
and I want it to transform it into:
Time ServerName Memory\% Commited Bytes In Use
07/18/2006 10:08:57.295 Server1 24.701095057336488
07/18/2006 10:08:57.295 Server2 30.701095077776488
I have two problems:
I need to trim the servername from the column values
I need to insert an extra column ServerName and put those server names in it
I tried Unpivot and Fuzzy grouping in SSIS but it's al too fuzzy for me...
Any pointers someone?
Many thanks!

I am using the unpivot transformation, but I can't figure out how to use an expression in the Pivot Key Value.
The denormalized table I want to unpivot has columns like Sunday_Qty, Monday_Qty, Tuesday_Qty, etc. Just before the unpivot component, I inserted a derived column component that adds fields like DateSun, DateMon, DateTue, etc. that resolves to values like 01/07/2007, 01/08/2007, etc.
So for the various rows in the Unpivot Transformation Editor, I entered DateSun, DateMon, DateTue, etc. for the Pivot Key Value, and "EntryDate" for the pivot key value column name.
The data pipeline gets unpivoted correctly, but the rows have the literal values "DateSun", "DateMon", etc. in the EntryDate column.
How do I tell SSIS to use the DateSun column instead of the string "DateSun"?

Hi all,
I am running into a problem which seems to indicate SQL Server 2005 is pretty aggressive with its implicit conversion which makes UNPIVOT apparently unusable for my current task of creating attribute/value pairs of strings for each of the records unpivoted around the primary key.
WITH cte as
(
SELECT 1 as Code, '2' as Status, 'Some Guy' as CreatedBy, Convert(varchar(19), getdate(), 120) as CreatedDate
)
SELECT
[Code]
,[Attribute]
,[Value]
FROM
cte
UNPIVOT([Attribute] FOR [Value] IN ([Status],[CreatedBy],[CreatedDate])) as U;
Msg 8167, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The type of column "CreatedBy" conflicts with the type of other columns specified in the UNPIVOT list.
The same result shows up if I use an inner SELECT instead of the CTE:
SELECT
[Code]
,[Attribute]
,[Value]
FROM
(
SELECT 1 as Code, '2' as Status, 'Some Guy' as CreatedBy, Convert(varchar(19), getdate(), 120) as CreatedDate
) cte
UNPIVOT([Attribute] FOR [Value] IN ([Status],[CreatedBy],[CreatedDate])) as U;
It seems to me that some arbitrary decision about what column is processed first is made and the process fails as soon as a column is met which is not of the same datatype. I also think it is interesting that the engine will implicitly cast from varchar to DateTime but not the other way around.
Any thoughts on how I can get around this?
Thanks in advance,
Calvin

Hello:
I have one table and it contains a column named ID Number, and a column named Date. I have a Do While statement that runs a SQL select statement a few times based on the number of records with the same ID Number. During the Do While statement the information is copied into another table and deleted from the old table. After I look at the results, I see that at the second Do While loop, the data was not selected and the Select statement did not run... so the old variable value from varValue is used again... Any reasons on why?
Here is a code snippet of what is going on:
Do While varCount < varRecordCount
conSqlConnect.Open()
cmdSelect = New SqlCommand ("Select * From temp_records_1 where [id number]=@idnumber and date<@date", conSqlConnect)
cmdSelect.Parameters.Add( "@accountnumber", "10000" )
cmdSelect.Parameters.Add( "@date", dtnow )
dtrdatareader = cmdSelect.ExecuteReader()
While dtrdatareader.Read()
If IsDbNull(dtrdatareader("value")) = false Then
varValue = dtrdatareader("value")
End If
End While
dtrdatareader.Close()
conSqlConnect.Close()
'#####The information above is copied to another table here
'#####The record where the information was received is deleted.
varCount = varCount + 1
LoopAny ideas?

Hello somebody,
I submitted an update query on a table of 80 million rows, in the weekend. When I returned on Monday, the transaction was still running. I thought some thing wrong happened and cancelled the transaction. It was taking long time to rollback the transaction. I recycled the SQL Server assuming it will do faster recovery. Now I realised that anyway it is going to take lot of time. And SQL server is not going to be up till the database is recoverd completely.
Now can any body suggest me any thing to faster this process or skip this process. I dont know how long it is going to take rollback the transaction which ran for more than 70 hours.
Thanx in advance.

I was attempting to use BCP today via xp_cmdshell. I have never done anything with BCP before, so it was very enlightening. However, I ran across a problem that maybe someone could help explain to me a little more.
I am using the "queryout" option, and when I run it, the error I get is that you "can't skip fields except for on inserts" or something like that.
The reason I was trying to use bcp is the ability to dynamically generate a filename, i.e. filename = 04182004 (the date). Because in the file name argument, I can use a variable. Make sense?
Since I apparently can't ignore fields, I am thinking of taking all of the information I need daily out, and into a seperate table, then I can use the xp_cmdshell to run a bcp that creates a file with the date as a filename, and I won't be ignoring any fields because I have just put the information I need in the new table. Am I making sense? Does this sound like an appropriate thing to do?

Hello
I am tryung to execute a Store Proc using Execute SQL Task.
I am very aware that if there is any errors occur I have handled it sufficiently.
All I want to do is, when ever there are any errors in teh Store Proc then this Execute SQL task should not fail and it should go for the next Task in teh control flow.
How can I do this?
