    Hi Folks,

    Please help me in below query.

    I am using SSIS package for pulling the data(last 2 months data).

    Since the data size is huge, i have to split the data into hourly basis and pull the data.

    Can somebody help me how i can make this dynamic? Right now i am changing the hours manually after package execution.

    Please help!!

    Thanks!

    Use a query as the source for your data (and not just a table).

    select ...

    from ...

    where DateModified > dateadd(hour,-1,getdate())

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply.

    May be i have not cleared my question properly.

    My transaction system has huge data and i have asked to pull the data of last 2 months in my database. For that i have designed an ETL.

    below is the way i am pulling the data

    Select * from table

    where date >= '2014-10-01 11:00:00' and date < '2014-10-01 16:00:00'

    Now my problem is i dont want to hardcode date range since the data is of 2 months. i want to make dynamic package which automatically pick the date range of every 4 hours starts from Oct to till date.

    Thanks a lot !!

    Ah, so you want to do the load in 4-hour batches – in a loop?

    If so, you could use a FOR loop with an increment of 4 and use an expression to set your source SQL which references the loop variable in its WHERE condition.

    Here is one example that should get you started.

    i actually meant that were actually you are facing problem in For Loop in ssis ?

    OK!!

    Below is the way i am following :

    1 Created three variable Query, Sdate, Edate

    a. Query = SELECT * FROM Table where date<= sdate and date>=edate

    b. Sdate = '2014-01-01 04:00'

    c. Edate = '2014-01-01 06:00'

    2. Data Flow task : Source = SQL Command from variable (Query)

    Destination = Mapped to destination table

    Here, i have hard coded the variable values. Now i want to understand how i can auto increment date and pass to the variable into batches.

    Try changing your query to an Expression which uses the variable from the FOR loop in its WHERE clause to select the data in batches.

    The type of FOR loop I have in mind is exemplified here as a 'Counter loop'.

    Make your OLEDB source dynamic in a similar way to this. Obviously, this expression needs to reference the loop variable from your FOR loop.

    Are you doing a lot of transformations to this data? SSIS is effiecient in its resource use when you have non blocking data movements. (IE.. no aggregating, sorting....). How is the performance when you pull all the data as opposed to doing it in chunks? I am curious what your setup looks like and why you need to break up the ETL into iterations.
