What is the best protocol to import data into sqlserver using an SSIS Package?

Im trying to import data into SQL Server from EXCEL with an SSIS package. In my data flow I am using "Excel Source" object and an "OLE DB Command" object. Im getting the following error message, "...Excel Connection Manager"
is an incorrect type....." May someone explain why I get this and point me in the right direction in choosing the proper source for my package so I can complete my task. Thanks.

Hi jsorrisone,
The data type mismatch issue is a common issue when using Excel Source in SSIS. The Excel driver recognizes only a limited set of data types. The following section of the document
Excel Source should point you in the right direction:
The Excel driver recognizes only a limited set of data types. For example, all numeric columns are interpreted as doubles (DT_R8), and all string columns (other than memo columns) are interpreted as 255-character Unicode strings (DT_WSTR). Integration
Services maps the Excel data types as follows:
Numeric – double-precision float (DT_R8)
Currency – currency (DT_CY)
Boolean – Boolean (DT_BOOL)
Date/time – datetime (DT_DATE)
String – Unicode string, length 255 (DT_WSTR)
Memo – Unicode text stream (DT_NTEXT)
Integration Services does not implicitly convert data types. As a result, you may need to use Derived Column or Data Conversion transformations to convert Excel data explicitly before loading it into a non-Excel destination, or to convert non-Excel data
before loading it into an Excel destination. In this case, it may be useful to create the initial package by using the Import and Export Wizard, which configures the necessary conversions for you. Some examples of the conversions that may be required include
the following:
Conversion between Unicode Excel string columns and non-Unicode string columns with specific codepages
Conversion between 255-character Excel string columns and string columns of different lengths
Conversion between double-precision Excel numeric columns and numeric columns of other types
If you need further help, post the complete error message as well as the data nature in your Excel source file for further analysis.

Tabular Modeling. What is the best practice for importing data into VS to limit the records in the designer?

Should I wrap the queries in a procedure with a @StartDate and @EndDate and create a test partition to pass a small date range?
Or can i use the Table properties screen to put the command there and will it run and not be affected or affect the partitions?This would be nice if this SQL statement on this screen was independent of the partitions and I could just leave it with the the
command text = EXEC TransactionDetail '2014-01-01', '2014-05-31' Especially since if you have many tables that load based on a date range. i would not want to jump in and change that query on all of them.
Is there a a way to have a parameter in the project so all tables would get the same @startDate and @EndDate so I could change it in one place?
And I am not stuck to these questions\options, If there is a better way to mass change the queries to run a subset of data for the designer I'd like to hear it.
Thank You,
Phil

Hi Phil,
According to your description, you are looking for the best way to control the rows that are loaded into a table, right?
When importing data to a table of tabular model, we can apply filters to control the rows that are loaded into a table. After you have imported the data, you cannot delete individual rows. However, you can apply custom filters to control the way that
rows are displayed. Rows that do not meet the filtering criteria are hidden. For the detail information about it, please refer to the link below.Filter Data in a Table (SSAS Tabular)
If I have anything misunderstand, please point it out.

What is the best format to import images into iBA? How should I compress my images before importing? What is the best file format? PNG? Jpeg?

What is the best format to import images into iBA? How should I compress my images before importing? What is the best file format? PNG? Jpeg? I'm trying to figure out the best file format / compression for importing images into iBA. Also, does anyone know how iBA will compress the file? Are the assets attached (like a website) or flattened out? Does anyone know how iBA handles this? Many many thanks to anyone with insight into this.

This question is largely answered by the following thread...

What is the best way to import pictures from iPhoto without compression?

I'm trying to create a slide show using Final Cut Pro. No, I'm not interested in using iDVD slide show function because it doesn't allow me to do a whole lot. I would like to add titles and music for certain segments with video inserted here and there.
Anyway, when I used the slide show function in iPhoto, exported it out as a quick movie file, and then imported it into Final Cut Pro, I noticed a significant downgrade in quality of images. It obviously looks different from when I play the slide show in iPhoto. What would be the best way to import pictures into Final Cut Pro without any compression?
Thanks in advance.

I only see Share > Export.
Some versions of iPhoto work that way -it's just Apple moving things around.
what's the difference between exporting it from iPhoto then import it into FCP vs. just importing directly from FCP?
Your first post mentioned exporting a slide show from iPhoto -I assumed that is where your images are stored.
I do not want to import pictures one by one...
You don't have to. iPhoto will let you select as many as you want, or if the images are elsewhere, you can also select multiple files from FCP's Import dialog.
...and stick them together manually.
Editing is an art and involves some effort on your part. It is not an automated process. This method opens up far more possibilities, access to filters and color correction and the opportunity to use Motion for even more sophisticated animation.
But, it only allows me to export it as 720 x 480. The original size of my photos is 3872 x 2592. Is there any way I can create a quicktime file in the original size?
You should be aware that 3872 x 2592 is not a standard pixel aspect ratio that is used in video. The images will be resized to the Sequence settings that you set up in Final Cut Pro.
I have never used iPhoto to make a slideshow before, but I just gave it a try and was able to export one with the images in their native size, simply by typing the pixel dimensions into the boxes in the dialog window:
I don't have PhotoMagico myself, but it comes highly recommended by several of the forum regulars.
Perhaps one of them will see this discussion and help with your last question.

If you know how to set up a computer-to-computer Ethernet network, then you can give that a try, but a hard drive will be faster than Ethernet unless you don't have a lot to transfer.

24p from a DVX 100 - What are the best ways to Import / Export

Hi Everyone,
A friend of mine did some shooting on his DVX100 on 24p. He then captured them to avi files. I have the files on my hard drive. What is the best settings when importing these files and what should my settings be for exporting. I want to eventually watch it, when I'm done editing, on a big screen tv.

I have the same problem. I have a bunch of footage captured on Premiere Pro that I have imported into FCP 6. Other than having to modify the timecode to match the original timecode I haven't had a problem editing with the footage. It looks good to me as far as quality goes.
I have yet to output to DVD and watch it on a real TV yet, but if it looks this good in the canvas I'm hoping it looks good on TV.

What is the best approach to process data on row by row basis ?

Hi Gurus,
I need to code stored proc to process sales_orders into Invoices. I
think that I must do row by row operation, but if possible I don't want
to use cursor. The algorithm is below :
for all sales_orders with status = "open"
check for credit limit
if over credit limit -> insert row log_table; process next order
check for overdue
if there is overdue invoice -> insert row to log_table; process
next order
check all order_items for stock availability
if there is item that has not enough stock -> insert row to
log_table; process next order
if all check above are passed:
create Invoice (header + details)
end_for
What is the best approach to process data on row by row basis like
above ?
Thank you for your help,

Processing data row by row is not the fastest method out there. You'll be sending much more SQL statements towards the database than needed. The advice is to use SQL, and if not possible or too complex, use PL/SQL with bulk processing.
In this case a SQL only solution is possible.
The example below is oversimplified, but it shows the idea:
SQL> create table sales_orders
2 as
3 select 1 no, 'O' status, 'Y' ind_over_credit_limit, 'N' ind_overdue, 'N' ind_stock_not_available from dual union all
4 select 2, 'O', 'N', 'N', 'N' from dual union all
5 select 3, 'O', 'N', 'Y', 'Y' from dual union all
6 select 4, 'O', 'N', 'Y', 'N' from dual union all
7 select 5, 'O', 'N', 'N', 'Y' from dual

What is the best way to import word documents from a PC to the Ipad2

What is the best way to import word documents from a PC to the Ipad 2?

You first need an app on the iPad that supports word documents - the iPad doesn't have a file structure like a 'normal' computer, and every file/document needs to be associated with an app. If you don't have such an app then options include Apple's Pages app and third-party apps such as Documents To Go and QuickOffice HD. How you then get the documents on the iPad will depend upon the app that you have/get as different apps may use different methods e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

What is the best method to import my iPhoto library from my macbook to my new iMac [27"]?

What is the best method to import my iPhoto library from my macbook to my new iMac [27"]?

You can copy your iPhoto Library to an external hard disk, USB flash drive, or other media (depending on the size of your iPhoto library). Then, you'd copy the iPhoto Library from that media to the same location on your iMac.
Using the Finder, navigate to your Home folder (or click on Go from the menu bar and click on Home). Open the Pictures folder, select your iPhoto Library and then from the menu bar choose "Edit" and then "Copy". Then navigate to your external disk, click on "Edit", and then click on "Paste".
Then, insert your media on the iMac, and copy the iPhoto Library from your external media to the same location on your iMac (the Pictures folder located under your Home folder).
Hope that helps, have a great day.

How do I import DVD to IMovie? What is the best way to import DVD to a Mac?

Hi everyone!
I need some help, so here are my questions.
How do I import DVD to IMovie? What is the best way to import DVDs to a Mac?
I would like to keep the original quality from the DVD.
Thx.

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

What is the Best was to create a newsletter application using BEA / Documen

Hi,
I have some queries.
What is the Best was to create a newsletter application using BEA / Documentum
The newsletter will be republished and users will see new content every month. We plan to use BEA portal 8.1 sp3 with Documentum 5.3Sp1 / SCS.
The content of newsletter may be coming from data sources, we will combine this content plus some static content, and publish to Documentum using BEA's CM SPI implementation for Documentum. To connect to different data sources we will use registered table feature of Documentum. Anybody can suggest the best to achieve this or any suggestion or any samples....
How can we create our custom portlets which can use Documentum registered table feature to connect to data sources.
Thanks for the help,
Sudhir

I assume that you are thinking about using the 'n" wireless version of the AirPort Express, or the "new" dual band AirPort Express.
Simply connect each Express one at a time via Ethernet back to the Ethernet switch and use AirPort Setup to configure the device. Other than entering a device name for each Express, AirPort Setup will do everything else for you automatically. You will be amazed at how easy this will be.
I do not want to use the "Extend Range" feature, as it trys to link the express back to the extreme via wireless.
Sounds like you might be a bit confused here. When AirPort Setup recognizes that the Express is connected via Ethernet, it will configure the Express to "extend" using an Ethernet connection....not wireless.
In other words, Apple devices can "extend" using wireless or Ethernet connections. AirPort Setup analyzes the connection and chooses the correct settings for you.
If you later go back in and check the settings for the Express using AirPort Utility, you will see that it has actually been set up to "create" a wireless network using the same wireless network name, same security and same password as the main router. The Express will also be in Bridge Mode to work correctly on the network.
