I might have joined CodeProject 7 years back. But I was not an active community member here.

That is no excuse.

This is my table structure and I select "for index types that do not support online index rebuild rebuild indexes offline" option in rebuild maintenance plan(use SQL maintenance plan-SQL Server 2012) but still getting error
failed with the following error: "An online operation cannot be performed for index 'PK_Table1_1' because the index contains column 'FileContent'"; of data type text, ntext

Table structure :

The answer is literally in the error-message.

From MSDN[^]

Clustered indexes must be created, rebuilt, or dropped offline when the underlying table contains large object (LOB) data types: image, ntext, text, varchar(max), nvarchar(max), varbinary(max), and xml.

If you can't read my code, try converting it here[^]

Yes i know that ,The table has varbinary(max) column can not online rebuild ,But i check this option : 'for index types that do not support online index rebuild, rebuild indexes offline' in SQL maintenance plan (SQL Server 2012). So this plan does rebuild it offline but still does online why?

When you create the table, you are creating an index. Creating is not the same as rebuilding.

Bastard Programmer from Hell Suspicious | :suss:

If you can't read my code, try converting it here[^]

According to this KB article[^], SQL 2012 should be able to rebuild the index online.

Try installing SP3[^], possibly followed by the latest cumulative update[^].

Or, if you've got SP2, install CU4[^] or one of the later cumulative updates[^].

Hi,

I am executing an SSIS package using my C# code, its saying package executing successfully but unfortunately when I checking in the database, it is not putting the values into that Server, in between the execution
I am getting a Warning that "Configuration from a parent variable "ServerName" did not occur because there was no parent variable collection.", if really package is having issues in connections and variables, how can I set the variable values differently than below, below is the code how I am setting the Package connections and Variables.

It seems that package is using some configurations, is there any way I can modify the existing package configurations at run time using C# code? I don't want to add new configurations to package but want to edit the existing ones to match my needs.

Here is the code, any help would be very very helpful for me thanks in advance my friends.

We'd like to start using Database Projects to manage our SQL Server code in the same structured way we do the other code. We have a separate domain for development, and we also pass any changes to production to a third party.

Is there a good resource (book, blog etc) on the day-to-day usage of these?

One issue I've got at the moment is that the comparison result script is very protective (which is good). In my case its warning about tables that are being altered could contain data. Now I know that it doesn't matter as these are working tables, so it doesn't matter if they 'loose' data.

Should I be taking the script and then altering it to suit the situation, or have I missed something earlier that would have made VS generate a better script?

Also would people say that the comparison script is the best way to bring a database to the right version or is there a better way? Note the implementers have little to no understanding of the purpose of the database.

We use them where I work to version stored procedures, permissions and other objects in source control. We also use the generated script(s) to deploy changes. The build process includes a task to compile the db project(s) and generate a diff script for the target environment, and then all the application files, SQL scripts, etc, are pushed to a staging folder on the network, ready for deployment. I personally alter the generated scripts when I come across the warnings of existing data being lost. However, I don't know if that's standard/best practice or not - that's just how I've always done it.

Thanks for that, this is what I'm thinking will be the case too.

VS can't *know* everything, so it makes sense that manual alteration of the diff scripts is required.

Right. It can be a bit tedious. I've been working on a project for a few months, an existing application. The new enhancements/features required that we split some existing tables out (moving a field from one table to a new table). When setting up the deployment, I had to alter the generated diff scripts quite a bit.

Hi,

I have a Console Application that is executing an SSIS package, as the SSIS package is taking too long to execute either I want to set time out property max or more execution time.
Currently I am using RetainSameConnection to true on Connection, but if I can set Time out property that would be better either for the Execution or Connection, anything is good.

Can anybody please help me in that regards? Any help either code snippet, a link or even a suggestion would be very helpful - thanks in advance.

Here is my code:

Hi,

I have been going through a tough time in resolving this issue, I am getting the following error when I am trying to execute a package that's on the MSDB database, it says "Source : Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.TaskHost, ErrorCode : -1073679321, Description : To run a SSIS package outside of SQL Server Data Tools you must install Populate FileCollection of Integration Services or higher."

My code is as below:

    Application app = new Application();
    Package loadedPkg = app.LoadPackage(@"\bsc\cscm\edh_imdb\DataExchange\ShieldLink\NewFolder\Brandon\TestSSISPackage\SgLgReporting_SLNewBusinessInProgress.dtsx", null);

    // Save the package to SQL Server.
    //app.SaveToSqlServer(loadedPkg, null, "WSQL569S,50101", null, null);
    app.SaveToSqlServer(loadedPkg, null, "WSQL569S,50101", null, null);

            }
            if (File.Exists(packagePath))
            {

    }

    return (Int32)myPackage.Execute();

}

The things I have tried are

Checked the SQL Server Management Studio for SQL Server version, it is 12.0 and I am also running Sql Server Data Tools Version 12.0.
Checked the SQL Server Integration Services running on the Server, yes it is 11.0 version is running on the Server.
Checked various different tools on the Server, they are as below

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio: 11.0.6020.0
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools: 11.0.6020.0
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC): 6.3.9600.17415
Microsoft MSXML: 3.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer: 9.11.9600.18450
Microsoft .NET Framework: 4.0.30319.34014
Operating System: 6.3.9600

I have Sql Server Client Version installed on my machine, but Server version is not installed, hence I don't have SSIS tools on my local machine from where I am running the Console app to execute SSIS Package. Could it be the problem? Can I just install SSIS tools.

Here is my machine Configuration:

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio: 11.0.3000.0
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools: 11.0.3000.0
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC): 6.1.7601.17514
Microsoft MSXML: 3.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer: 9.11.9600.18449
Microsoft .NET Framework: 4.0.30319.42000
Operating System: 6.1.7601

Is there anything that I am missing?

I have been searching and googling the whole day to resolve this issue. Any kind help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance my friends.

Thanks,

Abdul Aleem

"There is already enough hatred in the world lets spread love, compassion and affection."

I needed to have SSIS run time on my machine where I am executing the Console app, or reinstall SQL Server along with Integration Services.

Thanks,

I have an MS Access db that needs to export to Sql Server on daily basis. The access database contains numerous tables and views associated with it. Everyday basis, this gets updated and it's ok to replace the database on daily basis. Sometimes the structure remains the same, but the data in many of the tables will be more on each day. Modifications to existing structure is also possible sometimes.

So, rather than appending data to the existing tables, I would like to replace the whole database on daily basis in Sql Server and perform operations on it.And it should be scheduled at a particular time. So I am looking out which will be the best option to do the same. Will the SSIS packages helpful? Please suggest possible ways.

Create a linked server in SQL Server, point to your Access-database, SELECT INTO to where you need them.

Hi,

I am getting the following error,while creating identity column in sql ???

This is the code:

Create Table Myschema.Employee_Demo
(
Emp_ID int constraint pk_con Primary Key Identity(1,1),
Emp_Name varchar(55),
Emp_Sal decimal(10,2)
)
Insert Myschema.Employee_Demo(Emp_Name,Emp_Sal)values('Puja',20,000),('Tira',10,000),('Serrma',15,000),('Airrwari',12,000),('Shyyjina',13,000)

ERROR:

Msg 110, Level 15, State 1, Line 1

There are fewer columns in the INSERT statement than values specified in the VALUES clause. The number of values in the VALUES clause must match the number of columns specified in the INSERT statement.

SO,

how to solve this error???Please help.......

Thanks...

Take the delimiter out of the monetary walues - these are for display only, not to be stored in the database. The SQL parser sees the comma in the figures as a column delimiter

SQL

Insert Myschema.Employee_Demo(Emp_Name,Emp_Sal)values('Puja',20000),('Tira',10000),('Serrma',15000),('Airrwari',12000),('Shyyjina',13000)

=========================================================
I'm an optoholic - my glass is always half full of vodka.
=========================================================

When you are inserting a record, The value for Emp_Sal should not contain a comma(,).
That is ('Puja',~~20,000~~) should be written as ('Puja',20000)

Hello all. I am writing a C# program. The program downloads an rdl report and then examines the SharedDataSetReference tag of the XML.

From this information, I can get the server path to the shared dataset. What I need to do is to use the shared dataset name to get the name of the stored procedure that the dataset gets it's information from. I assume that I would query the Report Server Database. The dataset uses a shared datasource as well. I have been trying to figure out how to do this for a while now, and I cannot.

I am not giving up though. If I figure it out, I will come back and post the solution, but I would appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks,
David

From reading this[^] the shared datasource may have nothing to do with a database but is a file on the REPORT server, its source may be anything, Excel, CSV, or a web service query.

Never underestimate the power of human stupidity
RAH

Thank you for your reply. All of our shared datasets point to stored procedures.

I think I just figured out a solution. I have done this before. I don't know why I didn't think of it before. I am going to have my program download the shared dataset as an .rds file and then look at the xml tag CommandText in the rds file.

Hi All,

I am executing a dtsx package from C# code, what dtsx package does is, it simply reads data from .txt file and writes into another .txt file. I have two connections "Flat File Connection Manager" and "Flat File Connection Manager 1", I am calling that package with FileWatcher application which invokes when file changes or created etc. But when I am trying to execute the package, its giving me Success message but its not able to create the destination file. But package is able to create the destination file when its executed from SSDT (BIDS) using start debugging but the same package when its called from the C# code, its not generating the destination flat file.

I am not understanding is it a permission issue or something I am missing in my Code?

Can anybody please help me I am searching in google and trying with different combinations, any kind of help would be greatly helpful - thanks in advance.

private static void OnCreated(object source, FileSystemEventArgs e)
{
    // Specify what is done when a file is changed, created, or deleted.
    // get the file's extension
    string strFileExt = (Path.GetExtension(e.FullPath) ?? string.Empty).ToLower();
    string directoryFullPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(e.FullPath);

    // filter file types
    if (Regex.IsMatch(strFileExt, @".txt|.csv", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase))
    {
        Package _package = null;
        Application app = new Application();
        string dtsPackPath = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SSISPackagePath"];
        _package = app.LoadPackage(dtsPackPath, null);

        _package.Connections["Flat File Connection Manager"].ConnectionString = e.FullPath;
        _package.Connections["Flat File Connection Manager 1"].ConnectionString = directoryFullPath + @"\Test" + DateTime.Now.Year.ToString()
            + DateTime.Now.Month.ToString() + DateTime.Now.Day.ToString()
                    + DateTime.Now.Hour.ToString() + DateTime.Now.Minute.ToString()
                    + DateTime.Now.Second.ToString() + DateTime.Now.Millisecond.ToString() + ".txt";

        //_package.Variables["User::SourceFileName"].Value = e.FullPath;

        //_package.Variables["User::FileName"].Value = directoryFullPath + @"\Test" + DateTime.Now.Year.ToString() + DateTime.Now.Month.ToString() + DateTime.Now.Day.ToString()
        //            + DateTime.Now.Hour.ToString() + DateTime.Now.Minute.ToString()
        //            + DateTime.Now.Second.ToString() + DateTime.Now.Millisecond.ToString() + ".txt";

        var res = _package.Execute();

        if (res == Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DTSExecResult.Success)
        {
            string message = "Package Executed Successfully....";
        }
    }

    while (Console.Read() != 'q') ;
}

Now I did try it by putting OLEDB connection for destination, still when package runs from Visual Studio yields o/p but when run from the Console app, it doesn't give me any o/p neither in the o/p file nor in the Database table

Here is the code for writing into Database table

private static void OnCreated(object source, FileSystemEventArgs e)
{
    // Specify what is done when a file is changed, created, or deleted.
    // get the file's extension
    string strFileExt = (Path.GetExtension(e.FullPath) ?? string.Empty).ToLower();
    string directoryFullPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(e.FullPath);

    if (Regex.IsMatch(strFileExt, @".txt|.csv", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase))
    {
        Package _package = null;
        Application app = new Application();
        string dtsPackPath = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SSISPackagePath"];
        string sqlServerConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SqlServerConnectionString"];
        _package = app.LoadPackage(dtsPackPath, null);

        _package.Connections["Flat File Connection Manager"].ConnectionString = e.FullPath;

        //_package.Variables["User::SourceFileName"].Value = e.FullPath;

        //_package.Variables["User::FileName"].Value = directoryFullPath + @"\Test" + DateTime.Now.Year.ToString() + DateTime.Now.Month.ToString()
        //    + DateTime.Now.Day.ToString()
        //    + DateTime.Now.Hour.ToString() + DateTime.Now.Minute.ToString()
        //    + DateTime.Now.Second.ToString() + DateTime.Now.Millisecond.ToString() + ".txt";

        _package.Connections["BSCWD725128.DTS_Testing"].ConnectionString = sqlServerConnectionString;

        var res = _package.Execute();
