  • RE: Char to Date conversions - interation question

    Yeah. I know, Carl. But when I said it was easy, I meant that it's hard to make the result of a Year function unconvertible to a datetime. I knew...

  • RE: Boss wants me to avoid "Execute SQL" tasks

    The speed of SSIS is supposed to be much better in SQL 2008. Apparently MS learned from the 2005 implementation and have added some "umph" to the engine. @=)

  • RE: Boss wants me to avoid "Execute SQL" tasks

    Small example.

    In your dataflow, you have the following:

    OLE DB Source1 -> Stage_DDA_Rev_Adj

    OLE DB Source2 -> CIS_ACCount

    --NOTE: Both sources have to be sorted. Advanced Editor, go to last tab, click on...

  • RE: assigning variables during query processing

    Oh, believe me. I know that pain. I have approximately 150 nested formulas I had to redo from an excel workbook report so I could automate the report.

  • RE: assigning variables during query processing

    Actually, looking back at your example, I'm not even seeing the reason you need to use variables at all. Why not just do your Select statements without them?

    Going with...

  • RE: assigning variables during query processing

    gpriester (8/27/2008)


    I am seeing if it is possible to assign a variable, and utilize the same variable that I assigned all in one query. Here's some examples:

    declare @int_num int

    select @int_num...

    Jack,

    RE: The Age subtraction. Yeah, I did subtract it at home, it's just that fumble fingers didn't type it correctly in her post. @=)

  • RE: assigning variables during query processing

    The only way I could see doing it is through iteration. Ie, the dreaded cursor or a While Loop.

    I've never seen anyone assign values to multiple variables in one statement,...

    I think I just found an odd workaround to this problem.

    If you're trying to avoid using the OLE DB Command in the Data Flow (which I recommend because it's RBAR), then you might try using a Derived Column transformation after...

    Frank raises several good points, especially about what a resource hog SSIS can be if it's on the same server as a DW or heavily used OLTP DB. Everything should...

    Michael,

    I understand that perfectly. But I don't know DTS very well, so trying to figure out what the package was actually doing was driving me batty.
