I have created SSIS Package using DTS vizard in SQL 2005 Express. Help me out to execute the Package.
Thanks
Even I am also trying for the Same. Update me if you get a solution.sqlDeclare @.dbname varchar(30),
@.str varchar(500),
@.emailID varchar(50)
set @.EmailID='santosh@.yahoo.com'
set @.dbname='DB_kms_prv'
set @.str='SELECT empid, NTName, officialEmail, PreferredName FROM ' +
@.dbname + '.dbo.tblEmployee where officialEmail=' + @.emailID
exec (@.str)
I get error message
The column prefix 'santosh@.yahoo' does not match with a table name or
alias name used in the query.
How to get rid of it..?You need to put single quotes around the address:
set @.str='SELECT empid, NTName, officialEmail, PreferredName FROM ' +
@.dbname + '.dbo.tblEmployee where officialEmail=''' + @.emailID + ''''
If you get syntax errors from dynamic SQL, then just 'SELECT @.sql'
before executing it, so you can see what the statement looks like -
that makes the problem much clearer.
But don't use dynamic SQL at all unless it's absolutely necessary - see
here for all the reasons why to avoid it, and alternative solutions:

Specifically for your case, see "Getting data from another database" in
this section:

The only problem I can think of is that .SQL scripts generated by Query Analyzer often have the 'GO' keyword in them, which is not a SQL keyword, but rather used for batching in QA.|||True, going to have to parse out GO statement. Some more things needed
SqlCommand comm = New SqlCommand("select * from table", sqlConnection)
comm.CommandType = CommandType.Textsql
C:\Inetput\wwwroot> osql -U sa -P -i MyComics.sql
(uid=sa and pwd=)
and I got the result like this :
[Shared Memory]SQl Server deos not exist or access denied
[Shared Memory]Connection Open (Connect()).
I already check the SQL server , it's running.
what do I do now?
Thanks in advanceAre you certain that the user name and password is correct? Are you certain that this instance of SQL Server is the main instance and not a named instance?|||Hello
thank for the response.
from my understanding sa is the default user name of SQL Server 2000 and password is blank. I did not set any password for my SQL server.
I'm really new to SQL server, if you have any advice I'll appreciate.|||Try osql -E <other parameters, except user and password
-E uses a trusted connection. Unless you set an sa password while installing SQL Server, SQL Server is set to use Windows authentication. You need to specify Mixed Mode authentication. You can change to mixed mode security in Enterprise Manager. Right click database, select properties, set Authentication to SQL Server and Windows. Make sure you set a good sa password. DO NOT leave it as blank!
I have created a DTS package in SQL 2005 which will pull the data from oracle and pushes into SQLServer. I am able to execute the package from business intelligence wizard.
Is there anyway to trigger this package manually apart from the wizard?.
looking for responses.
Thanks
GaneshIt can also be executed from query analyzer.
You call it from any forntend tool also.|||Hi
Thanks for your response.
When I create package from Business intelligence wizard, It was created as Package1.dtsx. Now , How can I invoke package1.dtsx from query analyzer?.
As far as I know, In oracle, a package will contain main and a body procedures. We can invoke the main procedure from any command prompt. But I am new to SQL packages. Can you suggest me in this regard.
Thanks,
Ganesh
I want to know,
is there any method in SQL Server using "SQL Server Management Studio" to execute the .sql file? (Using query)
I know about osql & isql Utilities & i try this also as
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'osql -S vsnet1 -U sa -P sysadm -d aaa -i c:\ACCOUNTS.sql'
its working fine but it uses the dos command shell.
i too try the stored procedures (of others peson`s) like
sp_ExecuteSQLFromFile (i dont want this as it having some limits)
Is there any direct way to execute a .sql file? (as in case of Oracle RUN, START, @. )
Hope for help
Regards,
thanks.
Gurpreet S. Gill
I don't think Management studio provides any other way of executing the .sql file.
The most common way is to use sqlcmd from cmd prompt...
type in
sqlcmd /? from command prompt for more help
|||Imtiaz--
I cant use the DOS prompt. i know about these commands like sqlcmd, isql, osq
but i want from SQL Server Managment
Regards,
Thanks.

|||This sounds like it might help you out... you can enable "SQLCMD mode" in SQL Server Management Studio.
Steps:
1) Open SQL Server Management Studio.
2) Open a query window
3) Click the Query menu
4) Click SQLCMD Mode.
Kimberly Tripp does some great demos with SQLCMD. Not sure if it's on a webcast you can watch OnDemand though. Here are some BOL articles you can read.

This is a question that I have for T-sql programmers.
Problem: To execute a statement with aritmetic operators in it.
Database: SQL Server 2000
For e.g. if my string has "5+6+9" I need to execute the string and
obtain a value of 20 in a variable. I read a little bit of
documentation on preparing a statement etc, but before going deeper
there, thought will write you you guys.
Thanks in advance!
Bhaskarsp_executesql is probably the best option:
declare
@.s varchar(100),
@.sql nvarchar(4000),
@.i int
set @.s = '5+6+9'
set @.sql = 'set @.i = ' + @.s
exec sp_executesql @.sql, N'@.i int output', @.i = @.i output
select @.i
But in general dynamic SQL can be awkward and there are a number of
important issues to consider - see here for the full story:
http://www.sommarskog.se/dynamic_sql.html
Alternatively, you could do this easily in a front-end application, and
if you have more complex formulae to evaluate then that might be a
better option.
Simon|||Thanks much Simon,
It worked fine for me. However, is there a way I can use variables
within the statement?
set @.a = 5
set @.b = 9
set @.c = 11
i.e. @.str = '@.a + @.b + @.c"
and then be able to execute str?
I am trying to make calculations dynamic.

Maybe, but probably not. Or put in another way: this is not something
you normally do in SQL Server. You may still have a very good reason
for wanting to do this, but there is also the possibility that you
are approaching your real business problem incorrectly.
So I suggest that you give an overview of the real-world probelm
where these expressions come in.

like to compute a set of say 50 values for about 30 different items. If
I have to hardcode the calculations it will be 50x30 = 1500 items.
Also, if they had to change a calcualtion from z=x+y to z=x+y+a+b+c, it
would need programmer intervention.
Hence if I had the expression itself in a table and had a way of
calculating it dynamically, it would help.
I will definately explore other methods of doing the same, but my
thought is there is a strong reason to have a functionality like this.

Thanks, that gives me at least a glimpse of the requirements. I'm still
not sure that this is an easy way to.
You could store an expression as @.a + @.b + @.c, and then get that from
the table and put in an variable @.expr. Then you could say:
SELECT @.sql = '@.res = ' + @.expr
EXEC sp_executesql @.expr, N'@.a int, @.b int, @.c int, @.res int OUTPUT',
@.a, @.b, @.c, @.result OUTPUT
If the formula would be changed to @.a + 2 * @.b / @.c it would still
work. But if the formula would become @.a + @.b + @.d / @.e you would have
to change the way you compute the value.
You could parse the string to find out which the values are, but
that is a tedious and tricky business to do in T-SQL. A language like
Perl would be a lot nicer for this sort of work.
One idea that occurred to me is that you should not store the expressions
complete strings, but instead should have a table like:
CREATE TABLE expressiontokens (exprid int NOT NULL,
rowno smallint NOT NULL,
tokens varchar(30) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT pk_exprtmers PRIMARY KEY expressionterms(exprid, term))
Then for one expression you could have somehing like
rowno token
1 @.a
2 +
3 @.b
4 *
5 (
6 @.c
7 +
...
@.a, @.b and @.c would then be key values to a table where you would look up
the actual values. In this way would not have to parse the expression at
run-time. (But you would have to parse the expression to store it. If
you were do this in T-SQL, you would still have to build the SQL statement
dynamically.

Initially I thought of creating a table with a column for the prder in
which the formula was to be computed. Later, I thought every formula of
this type can be separated into Numerator and Denominator. So if I have
a table with 2 columns one for Numerator and another for Den. The onus
of giving the right expressions would then rest with the user and make
it easy to maintain and compute too.
Hence this approach. I tried using the code above. But it would not run
for me.
This is the error message that I get.

Obviously there should be a SET or SELECT first.
Working with dynamic SQL means that you will have understand the
syntax errors you get - because it's quite easy and go lost and
achieve one. Including something like:
IF @.debug = 1
PRINT @.sql
can often help to spot the problems.

Don't call your stored procedures sp_<something>. This prefix is reserved

Permit to be quite frank: you have a very trivial syntax error. Yes, you
got it from me, but just because it was from me, does not mean that it
is correct. Trivial syntax error crop up all the time when you work
with T-SQL (at least it does when I do :-). If you are not able to
deal with those, when you will have extreme difference of handling
dynamic expressions entered by users (which certainly is advanced usage).
