Microsoft has said that it will launch its SQL Server 2012, the next generation of its database product, online in March 7.

However Microsoft is quietly confident about SQL Server 2012 which will arrive in three flavours. As well as a standard “nothing to see here move on please version” there will be a business intelligence version that adds features such as the Power View data-discovery tool and data quality services to the standard edition’s features.
There is the Enterprise Edition that includes advanced security, high-availability capabilities and a columnar data store.
As you might expect, to celebrate the release, Microsoft is creating a new licensing plan.
Enterprise and Standard Edition will be available on a core-based model, with licenses sold in two-core packs. Standard Edition is also available on a server plus client access license basis. BI edition is only available via server-plus-CAL licensing.

Well basically you need to create two reports, one for Portrait orientation and one for Landscape orientation.
Next is to copy/paste them into this folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\ReportProject

Once you add a New Report to your Reporting Project, you’ll notice that your Report Templates will be listed:

It’s actually quite a nice and resourceful linking website, just have a look.
Each week, several interesting blog posts on BI, SSIS, SSRS and SSAS are listed here.

Pingback lets you notify the author of an article if you link to his article (article on a blog, of course).

SELECT
'DROP INDEX ' + SS.name + '.' + SO.name + '.' + '[' + SI.name + ']'
FROM sys.objects as SO
INNER JOIN sys.schemas SS
ON SO.schema_id = SS.schema_id
INNER JOIN sys.indexes as SI
ON SO.Object_Id = SI.Object_Id
WHERE LEFT(si.Name,2) IN ('IX') --'IX' is the used naming prefix.
ORDER BY SO.Name , SI.name

public override void Input0_ProcessInputRow(Input0Buffer Row)
{
Row.ErrorDescription = this.ComponentMetaData.GetErrorDescription(Row.ErrorCode);
}

A detailed manual to accomplish this can be found here, thanks to Jamie Thomson.

But if you also want to add the specific column name on which the error occured, take a look at this customer SSIS component.

Error Output’s Description

EOD in action:

EOD’s output:

It’s a little bit buggy and it will take a few tweaks to get it working on a Windows Server / SQL Server 2008R2 environment.

First bump: from 32-bit to 64 bit…The DLL needs to be copied to your Program Files (x86)-folder.

Second bump: You need GACUtil to register these assemblies (it’s not in the new .NET Framework(s) anymore, so you’ll need to copy it from an older .NET Framework version (2.0?).

Two possible locations for GACUtil:
- Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly
- Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin

Third bump: The ‘Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0010009′ exception…it appears that it’s a little bit sensitive to changes in the metadata of the dataflow (more info on this here).

A quick work around is to delete all dataflow components down-stream of the EOD-component and possibly rebuild the package, before you edit the EOD-component.

It appears that the exception has something to do with accessing System Parameters according to Google.

But…after all…it works great once you get it running
You may want to use the column name to zoom in on the incorrect values which were found during processing.

A practical example of such a report can be found here.

So to get ‘FileName.txt’ out of ‘C:\Temp\FileName.txt’, you’ll need to use a combination of FINDSTRING() and REVERSE():

FINSTRING() – To find a string-part within a string
REVERSE() – Because you’re not able to select the last string-part within a string.


(DT_WSTR,50)
REVERSE(
SUBSTRING(REVERSE(@[User::FileName]),1,FINDSTRING(REVERSE(@[User::FileName]),"\\",1) - 1)
)
