Hi Im using SSIS for SQL server 2008.
I have a sql query:
select name, age, lastname
from table1
and i want the ssis to pass it to an excel file(xls).
How can I do this?
Thanks.
Some example of inserting data in Excel -

You will need to create a template sheet to put the data into. Once you have the template worksheet you will need to define an 'excel connection' inside your job.
once you have the excel connection you can write to the file in a dataflow.

Those are some MSDN resources that talk about Excel connections and Destinations.

I have a current package which basically copies an Excel template sheet, writes data into this from a table in the SQL database and then sends to Excel destination (ishare drive and server drives). We have repeated rows with specific data which need to be removed from the Excel sheet before it is sent out. We have a VBA code which can be run in Excel as a macro in order to achieve this result. I am wondering how I can automate this in SSIS in the data flow?

You can use a Data Flow Task where you import data from the SQL Server database:
Create a connection manager :
When you click on the New Connection Manager option, an Add SSIS Connection Manager window form will open to select the connections managers from the given list.
Then select the Provider, Server Name, and Database Name (you will point to a SQL Server database you can either select the table or use a query)
If you want to remove duplicate entries you can use Drag Transformation and Connect your OLE DB Source to it. Double Click on Sort Transformation and Choose the columns to Sort. Also Check the Check Box : Remove rows with duplicate sort values and then click OK.
If you have other specific rules, you can implement a T-SQL query when importing data from the begining (when using the OLE DB Source)
Then you can link it to an Excel destination.
I'm new to the pentaho etl jobs .. I need to get data from excel and pass the excel sheet value to MySQL query as parameter. If it's possible in etl pentaho jobs .. any know please help me
You create a transformation and use 'Microsoft Excel' as your input, make whatever transformation you need to do and add 'Table output' as you destination where you define your database connection. That's all.
as per understanding of your problem your parameters are defined in excel file and you want to use it in sql step.
You create a transformation and use 'Microsoft Excel' as your input, use 'set variable' and then use them as part of sql query parameters dynamically
I am working with a SQL Server 2008 R2 BIDS 2008 solution.
I need to transfer data from an Oracle(11g) source database to a SQL Server database. I need to copy all data from multiple tables in the Oracle database. I have a ForEach container in which there is one Data Flow Task.
I want to loop round a list of table names, select all columns out of in the Oracle source and copy to dest_ in the SQL Server.
I have added a Property Expression to the Data Flow Task for [ADO NET Source].[SqlCommand] with an expression of "SELECT * FROM " + #[User::ImportPath]
As the table is undefined at this point it isn't clear if I can map columns or setup the ADO NET Destination task correctly.
Is there steps I am missing? Is what I am attempting to do even possible?
You cant loop through tables and dinamically map columns on your source and destinations components. You would need one set of Source -> Ddestination per table.
If that's not feasible, you may want to lokk at the Transfer SQL Server Objects Task
I want to develop an automation in SSIS.
Problem statement :
I have an excel sheet which has a single column.
Based on the values in that column (will be included as a search parameter in the SQL query) I need to fetch 2 or more columns from SQL server database
The results are to be stored in the same Excel sheet against the data obtained for that particular column.
I already have an excel macro for the same. But, now I want to develop a package for the same.
Please guide me through the necessary steps.
I will also keep trying to obtain the solution
Create an Excel Source and link it to your file
use a lookup component to perform a SQL select to obtain the missing data
Create an Excel destination to save your target data
I am trying to retieve data from a MySQL table and insert into a SQL Server table using ADO .NET connections in SQL Server 2008 SSIS. In my data flow task I have an ADO .NET Source which queries the MySQL table (select all invoices) and an ADO .NET Destination which inserts the data in my SQL Server table. Now, I would like to add a parameter in my data source so that I only select the max(invoiceNumber) retrieved from my SQL Server table. I have performed a similar task using "OLE DB Command" but the problem is that I need to query a MySQL database. Any ideas how I can achieve this?
I found that the only way to use parameter with the ADO.NET Data Source is this workaround:
Go to the Flow Control and selenct the Activity Flow containing your ADO.NET source.
In the properties window you can see the ADO.NET source Sql Command
Go to expression and select the properties: [YOU SOURCE NAME].[SqlCommand] and then edit the expression using variables to simulate parameters
Set Data Access Mode in ADO.NET Source to SQL Command and write the query.
You shoudn't have to add a parameter:
select *
from invoices
where invoiceNumber = (select max(invoiceNumber) from invoices)
The above works in SQL Server. I'm assuming that the same query will work in MySQL
