How to use pass variables in Execute SQL task

Here is a post where I actually did to pass variables into SQL query using Execute SQL task.
Here is my condition that I need to count number of rows in one table and need to pass this count value into a variable and then  using that variable I need to insert into a table.

For this Purpose let me take a table named 'Dim' under Database 'test' and similarly I will take one more table called 'fact' under database name 'test' again.

Using SSIS, I will take Execute SQL task on workspace, In fact two as we need two executions has to be done.
Let us create a variable as we discussed earlier of this task purpose and I'm creating a variable called "testing".






















Right click on first Execute SQL task, go for edit and here, I will configure as shown in snippet below.






























Here importantly we need to set ResultSet as Single row as ResultSet option will activate Result Set tab of Execute process task where we can assign variables and expressions.
There are many other options in ResultSet and I'm concentrating only on Single Row for now.









Note: Whatever query we will write, The result will be passed to Result Set tab of Execute SQL task.


 

Here I'm assigning variable "Testing" I created earlier. This means, whatever values are obtained from SQL statement, That value will be assigned to variable User::Testing.

Now again we need to take one more Execute SQL task for 2nd condition purpose (Inserting the value into table using variable)
Again, right click and go for Edit and continue as shown in snippet.




Here there is no need of giving ResultSet as we know we are not passing result of query in this Execute SQL task to any variable rather, we are getting values from variable to SQL statement.

Now go for Build Query and then



Query will be built automatically. then go for Run.
 (Note: Observe that ? symbol. Instead of this ? symbol we can give @testing and we need to change as @testing even at parameter mapping of This Execute SQL task. I will show you with snippet where to change)

after Run, we have to get this.


Now we will cancel here and give Ok to remaining windows been opened. (Not giving ok at this window will insert a value into table which may lead to duplicates get inserted)


Next go to Parameter Mapping tab


Here we need to give variable value we created.
Now remember, I mentioned earlier we also can give @testing and this is given at parameter name. (second circle)

Here we have given 0, because, We have only one parameter.
If we have created two parameter, Then based on priority, we need to give values like 0,1, etc
(suppose you are having two parameters then 0 or1 )

Now Run the package and we can see the result at destination table FACT

Zip/Unzip multiple files and also include password for zipped file using SSIS

We have many scenario that we need to Zip many files which we come across and then so some operations like either sending it as a email or just moving zipped file to some other destinations etc. But we were using manual method to zip multiple files. In this post, I tried to create a package which will zip multiple files using SSIS. Here for Zipping files purpose, I'm using 7-ZIP which is free software available in google sites. Download files and install onto your system. First let me show how to Zip on file and later I will show how to zip multiple files using SSIS and 7Zip tool. Compressing Single file. Here I'm trying to Zip one single flat file which is of 40MB size. I kept this file in C:\Documents and Settings\\Desktop\test\source folder. Now to compress this file, I will open my SSIS and I'm dragging and dropping EXECUTE PROCESS TASK from Control Flow. Now right click on Execute Process task and go for edit and select Process option. In process tab,

SSIS: The Value Was Too Large To Fit In The Output Column

I had a SSIS package where I was calling a stored procedure in OLEDB Source and it was returning a “The Value Was Too Large to Fit in the Output Column” error. Well, My Datatype in OLEDB source was matching with my OLEDB Destination table. However, when I googled, we got solutions like to increase the output of OLEDB Source using Advanced Editor option . I was not at all comfortable with their solution as my source, destination and my intermediate transformation all are having same length and data type and I don’t want to change. Then I found that I was missing SET NOCOUNT ON option was missing in Stored Procedure. Once I added it, my data flow task ran successfully.

How to move multiple files in ssis and also rename simultaneously

There are two ways to achieve this. 1) We can move the flat files and then rename it. 2) While moving files itself, automatic rename should be done. We will do the second type. The criteria is to rename the files while moving from source to destination. So for that, we need FILE SYSTEM TASK to be included. Secondly since we need to move many files, we will use FOR EACH LOOP CONTAINER. To fetch all the files, we can use FOR EACH LOOP task in SSIS. In collection tab, we can select FOREACH FILE enumerator option for fetching files and we can change enumerator configuration Folder option: Points to source where we need to fetch files. Files: will give us idea whether we need to fetch all the files (*.*) or if we give extension like *.txt, it is going to fetch only  .txt files . Once I give Source name in FOR EACH LOOP container, It is going to fetch all the files corresponding to that path. Retrieve file name: This option is used to let the variables mentioned in VARIA
