Default values of columns not transferred in SSIS Transfer Objects Task

I am working on a project that is creating a new application, my area of the project being the migration of data from the old application database, transforming it, and populating the new database.
The transformations to the old data are done in a staging database.
At the end of the process, the staging database ends up with a lot of new applications tables, populated with the migrated legacy data.
We need to move these tables from the staging database to (initially) our test databases, but ultimately what will be the live database.
We have tried using the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" in SSIS, but have ran into a problem that a lot of the database tables have default values for columns.
These default values are not brought over.
Example. Tables contain a "GUID" field, which has a default of value of newid()
Right clicking and the table generating the CREATE script generates
[GUID] [uniqueidentifier] ROWGUIDCOL NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbCRM_Client_GUID] DEFAULT (newid()),
However, the Transfer objects task does not create this default of newid()
Examining the SQL generated by the Import / Export Wizard when investigating this shows that the wizard generates this column as
[GUID] uniqueidentifier NOT NULL
and the column default value is lost.
Is there something i should be setting somewhere to force SSIS to bring these column definitions over correctly?

thank you for you response Sivashanmugam.
How can I move these tables (of which there are over a hundred) from my staging database into the application database - and keep the table definitions correct?
I cannot use the transfer objects task, as this will not define the tables correctly.
I cannot use the import and export wizard, as this will also not define the tables correctly.
This means I will manually have to code the drop, create and inserts for over a hundred tables?

Setting default value to columns on tabular form is not working.

Hi,
I created a tabular form and i want to set some default values to columns based on the values in page items.
so i set the page item to column value in tabular form attributes by selecting the Default type as PLSQL Expression & Function DEFAULT value &P24_ISSUE_ID. it worked fine but
in the similar way i tried for the another column by selecting the default type as pl/sql expression & function and default value &P24_CASE_NAME.
but it throwing an error for this like failed to parse SQL query: ORA-00904: "C254DB": invalid identifier
i don't understand where i gone wrong even i checked for the data types of the columns, everything is fine.
so please help me out of this problem.

Outside of a block in which it is defined as a variable, constant or function "C254DB" is not a valid PL/SQL expression.

Hi,
Remember the error says "default value". What is your code to set the default value?
I've seen this error before where it was simply a statement like
column = "text123456789012345678901234567890";where the identifier error was given because it should have been
column = 'text123456789012345678901234567890';Since the string doesn't begin with an apostrophe, the parse thinks it's a LONG identifier. Hence, error!

Default cell values for column not properly saved in uir file in labwindows 2009 (9.1.0 427)?

I've run into a strange problem with the table control. Basically, even though I set default cell values for a particular column as numeric, when I try to add items to the list it tries to add them as strings, and returns an error message that it is expecting *char instead of int. Furthermore, when I open the uir file that contains the table in question in 2010, it appears as if the default cell values for that column are still set as strings, even though in 2009 when I open the uir file it shows as numbers. I tried converting the uir to C code, and sure enough the C code indicated that the column still is a string type.
I've gone ahead and made a small project to show the issue. If you open this project in labwindows 2009 and click on the table in the table_bug.uir, and edit default cell values for column 1, you will see that the cell settings have type as numeric and data type as int. When you run the project, however, it will fail with an error message saying that it is looking for a *char. When this same project is loaded into labwindows 2010, clicking on the table in table_bug.uir and edit default cell values (column 1) shows the type as string. When I change this to numeric (and change numeric attribute to int), this runs fine in 2010. I tried simply changing the uir in 2010, and then using it in 2009, but 2009 complains that the uir is from a newer version (understandable). If there is any workaround that would let me continue to use 2009 for the time that would be great.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Alex Corwin

I opened the UIR in 2009 (but I have 2009 SP1) and it still showed that the default value for the first column was a string. I didn't have any problems changing it to a numeric int, and then building and running the project without error.
Here are a few things you can try:
1) Change the default value to a string. OK out of the dialog, re-enter the dialog, and change it back to Numeric int. Resave and see if the problem has gone away.
2) You said you get a ".UIR is from a newer version" error when opening the 2010 UIR in 2009. Does the UIR still open if you click okay? Often times this will work just fine. Assuming you don't have any problems with this, make a minor change to the UIR in 2009, such as moving the table to the left, and then back to the right and then re-save. See if your program works now.

Import and default values for columns

Hi guys
I have a table in which there are default values for some columns. I take export of this table.
I go to another database where this table structure is already there (but default values are not set). I run the import of table with ignore=Y. It does all...import the data...create the indexes and all...but doesn't set the default values for the columns.
Shouldn't it do that also ? ignore=Y means that ignore the object creation errors and proceed with the rest of the stuff ? Or there is some problem in my understanding ?
Version 10gR2 on AIX 5.3 and using traditional export/import.

Table editor problem with default value for column

Hi there,
I'm trying to use SQL Developer 1.2.1 on Ubuntu 7.10 (though I don't think the OS is relevant) and I'm running into a snag when trying to update table structures. If you go to edit the table to say modify a column name, and that column has a default value set, SQL Developer is encapsulating the value with brackets and quotes. When trying to save the changes, it complains about the default value being 4 chars too many for the column width. An example of this would be a currency code column of varchar2 (3) set with EUR as the default. SQL Developer changes the value to ('EUR') hence the error.
Is there anyway to prevent this from happening?
Cheers,
Chris

Could you please be more specific? In 1.2.1.32.40 I
added the column COL1 VARCHAR2(3) with default value
'EUR'. The data display field refreshed to show the
default value, so I edited it in a couple of entries
and comitted the change without problem. Then I
renamed the column from the "Edit table" popup menu.
Finally, I renamed the column from the "Rename
column" popup menu, no problem either.Ah, you are correct. That does work. What I was trying is select tablename in the object browser, then right click on it and select "Edit" from the contextual menu. You are then presented with edit table dialog box. If you then select a column in that box you will see a column properties box. In that section you can change the name, default value, datatype et cetera. Note that your default column value which should just be EUR (or 'EUR' to denote that it's a string) is now ('EUR'). Once you try changing the name to of the column to something else and then click OK, you should then get an error complaining of "Invalid varchar2 default value" with a more specific message of "Default values size 7 is greater than the allowed 3"
You have provided a work around, and thanks for that, but it would be nice to edit everything in the Edit table dialog box if you're modifying more than one column name. I'm tasked with cleaning up a bit of a messy database, and there are a good deal of columns to be renamed.
Cheers,
Chris

SSRS 2008 R2 Report parameters have default values and report not to auto run

Hi, I am using SSRS 2008 R2 one of my requirements for a Report is all the parameters have default value and I do not want this report to auto run when users open this report. I can create a dummy hidden parameter to break the auto run for this
report. But I am looking for solutions other than that.
Thanks in advance..........
Ione

Hi lone,
According to your description, you have a report with parameters. Now you want you report not to run automatically with your parameters default values. Right?
In Reporting Service, if you have parameters with default values in your report, your report will always auto run with these default values. We can say these default values are used for report running initially. So for your requirement, if you really need
to see your default value before the report running, the best workaround is set one more parameter to break the auto run like you have done. If you just want your report not to auto run, your can achieve it by removing those default values.

Report Parameters (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

SSIS - transfer objects - Suspended....

I am importing a table with 28 millions records into another table using the Transfer SQL Object tasks (as it relies on BULK INSERT). The process takes a long time. I don't see any blocking but the process, as shown below, is suspended. The main source
seems to be "PAGEIOLATCH_EX" on page "25:1:13469379". How can I determine what actually is causing this waits?

SP Online - Managed Metadata column Default Value for folders (using CSOM)

Hello,
I am working on setting default values (metadata columns) for different folders on my document library. As so far, I've found solution about how to set default values on whole library and many solutions which works for folders, but not for sharepoint
online (using metadataDefaults object).
The only working solution for folders in SPO I've found is editing file library/Forms/client_LocationBasedDefaults and add some data here.
My question is: is there any easier method to set default values for each folder in document library without manually editing this file?

I second that, I have a client looking to do the same thing but I don't see a way to automate this.

Based on input file i need to update default values to some columns of database table using bulk copy process

Hi Team,
Am using BULK INSERT Format file option to load data into table from .txt file here am facing an issue i.e ibased on input file i need to insert default values to some columns of table so we can not declare it on table level, Can we give default values in
format file ? if we can give how it is ? or Any alternate possibilities to this scenario instead of BULK INSERT ?
Thanks,
Sudhakar

Thanks for your response, here i don't have any rights to change table structure the table is created by different team, my work is to load data from file to table. Is there any chance to supply default values by*XML* format file instead of *.fmt* file
please let me know the possibility.
Again, no. If you want to supply default values that are not present in DEFAULT constraints in the table definition, you will need to write your own code. There are plentyfull of options, and I have mentioned some already.
Here are some more:
* Table-valued parameters, see here for examples:
http://www.sommarskog.se/arrays-in-sql-2008.html
* Use BULK INSERT to load data to a staging table, and then apply the default values when you copy from staging to target.

How to set default values for boolean columns

I'm trying to deploy some content types and columns into a site with a feature. All it's ok, except that I'm trying to set a default value for boolean columns with no success.
I've tried to set default value at column level:
<Field ID="{EFE23A1D-494E-45cf-832E-45E41B17F0CF}" Name="ScopeSpanish" DisplayName="Se publican noticias en español"
Type="Boolean" Hidden="FALSE" Group="Columnas ShaCon" >
<Default>TRUE</Default>
</Field>
and at content type level:
<FieldRef ID="{EFE23A1D-494E-45cf-832E-45E41B17F0CF}" Name="ScopeSpanish" DefaultValue="TRUE" Required="TRUE" />
But in any case, when i create a new item with this content type, default value is applied.
Can anyone tell how to set default values for boolean columns?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Sergio

In the field definition you can set
<Default>1</Default>
or
<Default>0</Default>

Ssrs parameter default value not showing ,when available values is binded to query dataset

I have developed a report using sql server data tools for vsiual studio2012 ,i have defined few parameters ,on one of the parameter when available values is binded to a dataset query, the report default value is not showing in report preview .
Many Thanks
Chandra

Hi Chandra,
According to your description, you have set the default value for a parameter, but it's not displayed when initially running the report. Right?
In this scenario, since you have set the available values bind to query, so your default values should be within these available values. If these default values are not within the available values, the default values will be not displayed. So please check
the default values.

Set Column Selector Default Value

Hi Gurus,
Does anyone know how to set default value for column selector. In my column selector I have two values let's say employee_name and employee_id. How can I set my column selector always to employee_id as default. Any resolution or workaround would be useful.
Thanks,
Joni

Joni,
You can't achieve this
====
But can i click include column selector on employee_name column and then I add employee_id and use employee_id as default column selector
===
As, I said above whatever is the first column becomes default. Incase, you are getting wrong results then you need to check your report first as I believe EMP ID to EMP NAME shud be 1 to 1 relation.
Hope this was useful..

How to change default value of a parameter and LOV attached to a parameter

Hi All
I am new to discoverer reports and I need to accomplish the following tasks:
1. Need to change the SQL query of a discoverer report
2. Need to change the default value of parameter ( from constant to current month). In the discoverer plus responsibility when I open the report and go to tools>>parameter>>edit
I can see the constant default value given there. On the right hand side there is a drop down which says 'Value'. I guess if i need to put a SQL as defaul value I need to change the drop down to sql or something and then put the SQL. Problem is the drop down is froezen and I cannot change it.
Even if I try to create a new parameter/report.
3. Need to change the LOV associated to the item on which the parameter is based.
I have the discoverer plus responsibility attached to myself and do not have the discoverer administrator tool (desktop developer tool like forms 6i). My questions are:
1. Can I change the SQL query by using discoverer plus responsibility or do I need discoverer administrator tool?
2. Any help on how to get the default value from an SQL query? currently it is a constant value.
3. Is there any way to figure out is the LOV is madeup of fixed constant values (like independednt value set) or they are fetched from some sql query(table validated value sets)?
Any pointers/solutions will be highly appriciated!!!
Thanks in advance.
Thanks and Regards,
Shashank

HI,
Need to change the SQL query of a discoverer reportThe discoverer generate the SQL according to the item, calculation and conditions designed in the worksheet.
You cannot edit a specific worksheet SQL.
In order to change the SQL you need to change the worksheet using the "Edit-> worksheet" from the menu.
To change the SQL generated inside the folders you need to do that using the administrator.
Need to change the default value of parameterYou cannot use SQL statements for the parameter default value. it is not supported. if you need default you can use only constant (as it was). otherwise you can set the parameter to be optional and then add to this condition an OR saying that <item>= NVL(:Parameter,<your default>)
as <your default> you can use calculations so that if for example you want the current date you will create a calculation containing: SYSDATE.
Is there any way to figure out is the LOV is madeup of fixed constant values (like independednt value set) or they are fetched from some sql query(table validated value sets)?They are based on SQL, even they are const then you will see it as
select 'a','b'... from dual
you can find the LOV (called item classes) in the administrator.
Go to the item your condition is based on and see its properties.
In the properties you should see the item class it uses.
Close the properties and go to the item classes tab, search for this item class and figure the folder it came from.
This is the folder you need to change in order to change the LOV.
Hope it helped a bit, you sure asked several big questions...
