I have the above SQL stmt in the excute SQL task and declared 2 variable "PartitionDate" and "PartitionName" in the Package, the RESULT SET I hav given as "Single Row" and when I run the ETL I get the error as
[Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "PartitionDate": "Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0015005".

Does your package variable datatype match the datatype of your parameter?
Is your Package variable assigned to the parameter in the task editor?
And does the parameter name in the task editor match the parameter names in your stored procedure?

HELP: SSIS 2012 - Execute SQL Task with resultset to populate user variables produces DBNull error

I am experiencing an unexplainable behavior with the Execute SQL Task control in SSIS 2012. The following is a description of how to simulate
the issue I will attempt to describe:
1. Create a package and add two variables User::varTest1 and User::varTest2 both of String type with default value of "Select GetDate()"
for each, have shown this to not matter as the same behavior occurs when using a fixed string value or empty string value.
2. Add a new Execute SQL Task to the control flow.
3. Configure an OLE DB connection.
4. Set SQLSourceType = "Direct Input"
5. Set the ResultSet property of the task to "Single Row"
6. In the ResultSet tab add two results as follows:
Result Name: returnvalue1, Variable Name: User::varTest1
Result Name: returnvalue2, Variable Name: User::varTest2
7. Set an expression for the SqlStatementSource property with a string value of "Select 'Test' returnvalue1, 'Testing' returnvalue2'"
The idea is that the source would be dynamically set in order to run a t-sql statement which would have dynamic values for database name
or object that would be created at runtime and then executed to set the user variable values from its resultset. Instead what occurs is that a DBNull error occurs.
I am not sure if anyone else has experienced this behavior performing similiar actions with the Execute SQL Task or not. Any help would be
appreciated. The exact message is as follows:
[Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "varRestoreScript": "The type of the value
(DBNull) being assigned to variable "User::varRestoreScript" differs from the current variable type (String). Variables may not change type during execution. Variable types are strict, except for variables of type Object.
User::varRestoreScript is the first return value. And even with the a dummy select the same result occurs. I have narrowed the issue down
to the T-SQL Statement structure itself.
The following works just fine within the execute sql task control as long as no resultset is configured for return:
"Declare @dynamicSQL nvarchar(max)
Select @dynamicSQL = name
From sys.databases
Where name = 'master'
Select atest_var1=@dynamicSQL, atest_var2='static'"
I have tried various iterations of the script above with no success. However, if I use the following derivative of it the task completes
successfully and variables are set as expected. This will not work for my scenario however as I need to dynamically build a string spanning multiple resultsets to build one of the variable values.
"Select atest_var1=name, atest_var2='static'
From sys.databases
Where name = 'master'
I have a sample package which can reproduce this issue using the above code. You can get to that through the post on www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1582670-364-1.aspx
Scott

Arthur, the query when executed doesn't return a null value for the @dynamicSQL variable. It returns "master" as a string value. Even the following fails which implements that suggestion:
Declare @dynamicSQL as nvarchar(max)
Select @dynamicSQL = name
From master.sys.databases
Where name = 'master' -- (or any other DB name)
I believe I have found the cause of the issue. It is datatype and size related. The above script will properly set the variables in the resultset as long as you don't use nvarchar(max) or varchar(max). This makes the maximum data size for
a String variable 4000 characters whether unicode or non-unicode typed.

Cannot assign value to a Variable of Complex Type beyond index 1

Hello:
I have a variable defined as a complex type as followed. I tried to assign a value to each of the two elements but it only allows me to assign to the 'element#1.
This statement that tries to assign a value into element#2 will not work, if I assign with '[1]' for the first element it will work:
<copy> <---- THIS WORKS
<from expression="'John'"/>
<to variable="My_Variable"
part="My_Collection"
query="/ns9:My_Collection/ns9:Collection/ns9:Collection_Item[1]/ns9:pname"/>
</copy>
<copy> <---- THIS DOES NOT WORK
<from expression="'John'"/>
<to variable="My_Variable"
part="My_Collection"
query="/ns9:My_Collection/ns9:Collection/ns9:Collection_Item[2]/ns9:pname"/>
</copy>
Is there something wrong with my definition below that allows only element#1 to be refererenced but not element#2???? Am I missing some kind of initialization that is needed to initialize both elements????
Here are my message and Complex Type definitions:

Hello:
Base on the suggestion to use 'append' instead of 'copy', I tried to define a 'singleNode' which is of type 'Collection_Type_Struct' so I can append this individual 'struct' into my array (i.e. as the 2nd. element of my array "/ns9:My_Collection/ns9:Collection/ns9:Collection_Item"), but I am getting an error in defining this variable as:
<variable name="singleNode" element="Collection_Type_Struct"/> <--- error
Can someone tell me how should I define "singleNode" so I can put a value in it and then append this 'singleNode' into the array:
<variable name="singleNode" element=" how to define this????"/>
<assign>
<copy>
<frem expression="'Element2Value'"/>
<to variable="singleNode"

Dynamically change the db and server in execute sql task

Pkg 2: Moves data from B_STG (Staging DB) to B_Det_STG (Staging DB) ---- option1
Pkg 3: Moves data from B_STG (Staging DB) to B_Det (PC DB) ---- option2
This part is duplicating in both the packages
So they want me to merge both of them into in execute sql task and dynamically change between option1 and option2 depending on a pkg level variable.
So, I create a pkg level variable called ExecutionVariable: 'ANALYSIS' or 'LOADING'
If 'ANALYSIS' it needs to do option1 else option2.
So, I ma trying to create a dynamic connection string in execute sql task.
I change the connection property in execute sql task editor dynamically my giving the expression: @[User::ExecutionVariable] == "ANALYSIS"? @[User::STAGINGDBConnectionString] : @[User::PCDBConnectionString]
which evaluates to : Data Source=AW-ETL-D1;Initial Catalog=Staging;Integrated Security=SSPI;Provider=sqloledb
But when I run the sql task, its giving me an error:
ERROR:
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio
Nonfatal errors occurred while saving the package:

Can u please help me.

Hi ,
Don't try to make the "Execute Sql" task as dynamic.
Try to make OLEDB connection Manager as "Dynamic".
Steps:
1. Create OLE DB Connection pointing to any database then set expression to connection string variables like below.
Provider=SQLNCLI10.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=YourDBname;Data Source=YourServerName.
2. Make Delayed Validation property to "True".
3. Set the created dynamic OLE DB connection to your Execute SQL task.
4. Change the connection string variable accordingly before running the "Execute SQL" task.
Hope it will help you.

Nandhu

Multiple Select statements in EXECUTE SQL TASK in SSIS

Can we write multiple select statements in execute sql task(SSIS).
If possible how to assign them to variables in result statement

Hi ,
You can use below steps to set result set to variable.
1.In the Execute SQL Task Editor dialog box, on the General page, select the Single row, Full result set, or XML result set type(According to your result set).
2.Click Result Set.
3.To add a result set mapping, click Add.
4.From the Variables Name list, select a variable or create a new variable.
What is multiple selection ? May be below can be used in your scenario !

Hai man
I have generated a daily attendance roll in oracle forms and it executed correctly but while fetching it fetch some of the records. So i have declared a variable in a block and in my coding.
For those variable i need to pass values from select statement or using cursor.According to that i can use in my ifelse statement.
If It is clear Or else see the coding
declare
bar_code varchar2(25);
in_time varchar2(25);-------------------------- these are the variable i going to use in select statement to pass values
out_time varchar2(25); so that i can use in if else statement.
begin
loop
go_block('TEST_SRI');
FIRST_RECORD;
select BARCODE,INTIME,OUTTIME into bar_code,in_time,out_time from dail_att where BARCODE= :Barcode
and ATTEND_DATE = :bardate;
if :bartime between 0100 and 0630 then
update dail_att set outtime = :bartime where barcode= :barcode
and ATTEND_DATE = :bardate-1 and in_time is null and out_time is not null;
elsif :bartime between 0630 and 0900 or :bartime between 1130 and 1230 or
:bartime between 1700 and 1800 and in_time is null then
insert into dail_att(barcode,intime,attend_date)
values(:barcode,:bartime,:bardate);

How do I return two values from a stored procedure into an "Execute SQL Task" within SQL Server 2008 R2

Hi,
How do I return two values from a
stored procedure into an "Execute SQL Task" please? Each of these two values need to be populated into an SSIS variable for later processing, e.g. StartDate and EndDate.
Thinking about stored procedure output parameters for example. Is there anything special I need to bear in mind to ensure that the SSIS variables are populated with the updated stored procedure output parameter values?
Something like ?
CREATE PROCEDURE [etl].[ConvertPeriodToStartAndEndDate]
@intPeriod INT,
@strPeriod_Length NVARCHAR(1),
@dtStart NVARCHAR(8) OUTPUT,
@dtEnd NVARCHAR(8) OUTPUT
AS
then within the SSIS component; -
Kind Regards,
Kieran.
Kieran Patrick Wood http://www.innovativebusinessintelligence.com http://uk.linkedin.com/in/kieranpatrickwood http://kieranwood.wordpress.com/

Below execute statement should work along the parameter mapping which you have provided. Also try specifying the parameter size property as default.
Exec [etl].[ConvertPeriodToStartAndEndDate] ?,?,? output, ? output
Add a script task to check ssis variables values using,
Msgbox(Dts.Variables("User::strExtractStartDate").Value)
Do not forget to add the property "readOnlyVariables" as strExtractStartDate variable to check for only one variable.

Passing the same input parameter twise in execute sql task

Hi All, I want to insert some values to 3 different tables in sql server. Execute sql task is used to populate three tables. Here is the sql statement.
DECLARE @Dt AS DATE
SET @Dt = ?
INSERT INTO TABLE1 SELECT ?, COL2, COL3 FROM TABLE_A
INSERT INTO TABLE2 SELECT ?, COL2, COL3 FROM TABLE_B
Input parameter is mapped as follows :
Variable name : User::EffectiveDate
Direction : Input Data Type :
Date Parameter name :0
Parameter size :-1
User::EffectiveDate is datetime variable.
When the package is executed, it throws an error.
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query " " failed with the following error: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.". Possible failure reasons: Problems
with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly. I am not sure what I am doing wrong here. If anyone could point me to the right direction, I really appreciate.
Thanks
shamen

To expand on the other answers.
Your SQL command
DECLARE @Dt AS DATE
SET @Dt = ?
INSERT INTO TABLE1 SELECT ?, COL2, COL3 FROM TABLE_A
INSERT INTO TABLE2 SELECT ?, COL2, COL3 FROM TABLE_B
It using 3 input variables. I assume you didn't pass 3 variables and you want @DT to be column 1 in each. In that case you would use:
DECLARE @Dt AS DATE
SET @Dt = ?
INSERT INTO TABLE1 SELECT @Dt, COL2, COL3 FROM TABLE_A
INSERT INTO TABLE2 SELECT @Dt, COL2, COL3 FROM TABLE_B

Execute SQL Task, OLE DB, Stored Procedure, Returns unexpected value upon second run

What is the difference between Execute SQL Task and OLE DB Command

Besides the obvious, Execute SQL Task being used in Control Flow, and
OLE DB Command being used in Data Flow what is the difference between the two? Is one supposed to use
Execute SQL Task to produce a result set that then gets handed over to
Data Flow and OLE DB Command ? Everything that I have seen on
OLE DB Command is pretty much execution of a Stored Procedure with ? parameters. It seems as though I got to a point where I had to perform my data edits pretty much entirely in a Stored Procedure executed by
OLE DB Command rather than trying to use the SSIS GUI for everything. I didn't really see in any of my Google searches out there that simply used
OLE DB Command as a straight parameterized SQL against tables for editing and cleansing purposes and handling returns back from SQL Server for COUNT(*), etc..
I know I have posted multiple forums out there regarding this issue but I cannot seem to get a straight answer and some solid direction. So for now, my
Execute SQL Task gives me my editable result set and then control is handed off to
Data Flow and ultimately to my Stored Procedure executed by an
OLE DB Command which pretty much does the chunking for me and performs my data edits and handles my record anomalies through SQL Server Table data stores accordingly or sets flags accordingly if the data passes.
I welcome your thoughts and Thanks for your review and Thanks in advance for any replies and direction that anyone might provide.

Hi ITBobbyP,
OLE DB Command will always process data row by row, whereas Execute SQL task if you call a Stored Procedure it can process data in bulk. As you said, the biggest difference is that Execute SQL Task being used in Control Flow, and OLE DB Command being
used in Data Flow. They are used in different places.
Using Execute SQL Task, we can save the rowset returned from a query into a variable. The Execute SQL task can be used in combination with the Foreach Loop and For Loop containers to run multiple SQL statements. These containers implement repeating control
flows in a package and they can run the Execute SQL task repeatedly. For example, using the Foreach Loop container, a package can enumerate files in a folder and run an Execute SQL task repeatedly to execute the SQL statement stored in each file. I think this
is a big advantage for Execute SQL Task.
As to OLE DB Command, we can easily run an SQL statement for each row transformation in a data flow, then directly insert the outputs to a destination.
To sum up, there are many difference between those two components. We should make better choice based on our actual requirement.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

To avoid this error, the RetainSameConnection property should set to 'True' for the Connection Manager - Application_DB.

[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "DECLARE

correctly, or connection not established correctly.
how to solve this error;
please help me

What are you trying to do? What sort of data source is SHALL-PCAdventureWorksDw?
When you use EXEC() AT, I would execpt to see an SQL string to be passed to EXEC(), but you are passing an XML string????
If you explain why you think this would work in the first place, maybe we can help you.

Failed to create an IDataAdapter object. This provider may not be fully supported with the Execute SQL Task

I executed a simple query inside an execute SQL task -
SELECT col1, col2
from thetable
where code = ?
order by id asc
Exec sql task - ADO.NET connection
parameter "code" is an int32 in SSIS and int32 in parameter mapping of exec sql task.
It works fine in SQL server, but in SSIS it causes the error -
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "SELECT col1, col2
from thet..." failed with the following error: "Failed to create an IDataAdapter object. This provider may not be fully supported with the Execute SQL Task. Error message 'Incorrect syntax near '?'.'.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with
the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
How do I fix this error ?

Thanks. I think it was sqlclient. I changed it to OLEDB to avoid that issue. Btw, what is this "provider" ?
Hi blastoSO,
To check which provider is used by the current ADO.NET Connection Manager, you can open the “Configure ADO.NET Connection Manager” window, and check the “Managed Provider” option of each Data connection.
In an Execute SQL Task, if the managed provider is “System.Data.SqlClient”, we should use the rule for the ADO.NET connection type in the following table. If the managed provider is “System.Data.Oledb” or “System.Data.Odbc”, it actually uses the OLE DB provider
or ODBC provider, so we should use the rule for the OLE DB or OBC rule in the following table:
