An if...else task

Hi,

Im running a database query and I want to compare the value of a datetime field to see what I wanna do with my data.

Is there any easy way of doing this with something from the Toolbox or would you recommend using a Script Task?

Thank you.

What do you want to compare it to? Can you give more detail about what it is you are trying to do?

-Jamie

|||

I have 100 rows of query data.

The rows contain a datetime field that I wanna check.

If the row happens before 10 o'clock:

- Do something

After 10 o'clock:

- Do something else

Thank you.

|||All depends on what Something and Something Else is.

You could use a conditional split to send the rows to different places or add an additional column with the flag stating the change or use the script task if you want to change the value of a variable if the condition is found.|||

I would say that conditional split is almost certainly going to be what you are looking for.

in your example you would just set a single case wherein your example datetime column is compared to less than or equal to 10 o'clock and all other rows are sent to default (greater than 10 o'clock) ...

Amazon Web Service Call with Web Service Task

With the new improvments to the web service task, we can now use variables as arguments in web service calls. I am trying to setup a call to the amazon web service ECS. I am trying to do a simple sellerlookup. I have played with the settings and gotten nowhere. I get one of two error when I try to execute. I can always use a scripting task or write my own task, but I would like to use the built in task if it is possible. Has anyone used AWS with SSIS?

[Web Service Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebserviceTaskException: Could not execute the Web method. The error is: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.. at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebMethodInvokerProxy.InvokeMethod(DTSWebMethodInfo methodInfo, String serviceName, Object connection) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebServiceTaskUtil.Invoke(DTSWebMethodInfo methodInfo, String serviceName, Object connection, VariableDispenser taskVariableDispenser) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebServiceTask.executeThread()".

Hi,

I'm having the same problem with a web service, did you can an answer to this?

Thanks, Paul.

|||

Did anyone ever resolved this?

Thanks Henry

|||I resolved mine it was actually an issue with data type assignment in the variable passed. This error reporting for this task is terrible.|||

Thanks Hnery have not solved it

Amazing

Hi everyone,

I've got a dts 2000 which owns a Sql Task:

werweuroweuroiweruewr

DECLARE @.CONTADOR BIGINT

SET @.CONTADOR = 0

WHILE @.CONTADOR <= 100000

BEGIN

INSERT INTO TABLA1 (ID,NOMBRE) VALUES(@.CONTADOR,'PRUEBAS')

SET @.CONTADOR = @.CONTADOR + 1

END

'werweuroweuroiweruewr' obviously doesn't exists in my database, but it's ignored 110 times.

Then I see that TABLA1 own 100 rows. After that fails, of course.

Could you please so kind to give me any explanation for this behaviour. I'm totally stuck,

I haven't enought words (in english) in order to define this!

Why SQL executes 110 times that loop and then, oh my god, discover that 'weerrrr...' doesn't exists at all and stop!

If possible and there is explanation for that it could happen in SQL 2005?

Thanks in advance,

What is "werweuro..." supposed to represent? I'm confused.|||

Enric,

Where are you getting the error? This seems to be a DB/T-sql related issue.

I just ran that sample code in SSMS, I don't have Table1 of course, and the first error I received is:

Msg 2812, Level 16, State 62, Line 1

Could not find stored procedure 'werweuroweuroiweruewr'.

Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 13

Invalid object name 'TABLA1'.

So, I am not sure...

|||

Hi both,

That's simply garbage. It doesn't exits at all. I don't know why it insert rows.

Ok, guys, run this code in your Query Analyzer:

werewr
DECLARE @.CONTADOR BIGINT
SET @.CONTADOR = 0

WHILE @.CONTADOR <= 100000
BEGIN
INSERT INTO TABLA1 (ID,NOMBRE) VALUES(@.CONTADOR,'PRUEBAS')
SET @.CONTADOR = @.CONTADOR + 1

END

I'll tested it and at the end TABLA1 have 100000 rows (despite the error)

|||At the end of the day it only demonstrate that Sql Task from DTS have a different behaviour than a Query Analyzer session. I knew that but anuway, how to configure?

Am I really using the full 2GB of Ram?

We have a machine Server2000 / SQL Standard 2000.
This machine has 2.5GB of RAM, but when we go into Task Manager we see
the SqlServr.exe process is only using 1,740,000 KB of memory.
This comes out to about 1.65 GB.
I have heard that this might actually be the max amount of memory that
will be consumed. In other words, have we really reached our max
memory allowed by SQL Server 2000 Standard?
Also, we are thinking about what we can do to allow us to take
advantage of over 2GB. Is it correct that we a) Must have SQL Server
Enterprise 2000 and b) must run on Windows 2000 Advanced Server or 2003
Datacenter edition?
THANKS!
cmay,
SQL Server will only take as much RAM as it needs, and generally will
not release it unless asked for by the OS.
If you want to use more than 2Gb RAM for SQL Server you will need
Enterprise Edition.

|||Mark,
Thanks for the reply.
I basically have 2 follow up questions:
1) If a computer running 2000 Standard has maxed out its 2GB of
memory, will it actually show up as 2GB of memory under the
SQLServr.exe process in task manager? Some have suggested that our
1,740,000 KB (about) is really the max that SQL Server Standard will
consume, even though it only adds up to about 1.65GB of RAM.
2) Can Enterprise edition make use of over 2GB of Ram while running on
Windows 2000 Server, or must it run on W2k Advanced Server / Datacenter
edition? I have read lots of stuff that says you *can* install SQL
Enterprise on W2k Server, but I also read that in order to use over
2GB, it must use AWE, which is only available on Advanced Server /
Datacenter editions of windows.
Can you clarify this?

This is likely. Depending on your configuration.

Try pinning this memory if you want the process to take the full 2GBs.

You will need SQL Server and Windows Server editions that are beyond the
"Standard" editions.

|||Hi
SQL Server needs to leave about 256Mb or RAM in the MemToLeave area. This
allows for SQL Agent, XP's etc to run. With 2GB, the maximum SQL Server will
show is 1.65Gb.
Standard Windows 2000 supports up to 4GB or RAM. If you were to install SQL
server Enterprise Edition, it could use 3GB as the other 1GB is reserved for
the OS under Windows 32 bit.

Alternatives to MS Outlook for SQLMail

I want to be able to use SQLMail to send me alerts on
task failures, etc. Microsoft says we have to use a MAPI
client like MS Outlook to take advantage of this feature.
However, when I talk with my system administrators about
placing Outlook or similar mail clients on the server
they get all upset and scream about security. Are there
alternatives to Outlook that are more secure or less
intrusive or anything that would make the sa's happy and
still be able to use SQLMail?You can use xp_smtp_sendmail from www.sqldev.net
It isn't nearly as integrated as SQL Mail, but by adding a few steps to your
SQL Agent jobs, you can get most of the same functionality. It is very
stable and does exactly what the documentation says it does.
