    It looks like you're having file access permission. I recommend you to check the security permissions for each file and add the account you're running the t-sql to attach the files with full control permissions. HTH

    The answer is you must turn off User Account Control before running the supplied batch files. Complete directions for this are on page 754 of murach's. I hope no malicious software tries to attack during this process!

    Good to know. Eventually you'll just get so fed up with UAC that you'll turn it off and use a third party tool for protection.

  • Missing AdventureWorks2008 Found
    3/12/2010 7:08:28 AM
    So I finally got through all the SSIS Class Labs including the Group Labs and decided to figure out why I didn't have AdventureWorks2008. I had previously tried to enable FILESTREAM according to some blogs I had read about it but had no success. Maybe I just understand all this a little better now but when I exactly followed these steps right out of the help file it worked for me: 1. On the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2008, point to Configuration Tools, and t...
  • Another error message that doesn’t make sense, or does it?
    3/5/2010 5:31:18 PM
    I was going back through a project and cleaning up a few things (you know…trying to use best practices, etc.) and got this error: Error: Failed to lock variable "Dts.Variables("intAuditRowsInserted").Value = 0" for read/write access with error 0xC0010001 "The variable cannot be found. This occurs when an attempt is made to retrieve a variable from the Variables collection on a container during execution of the package, and the variable is not there. The variable name may have changed or the vari...
  • I love my new friend – SSIS
    3/2/2010 7:06:37 AM
    Yesterday was my first day to actually do a project with SSIS that means something in the real world. We had a deadline to meet and needed to extract part of the data from several files, combine the needed info into one file and make sure that there was no duplication in the final list. SSIS made it quick and easy. All that was needed was a Data Flow Task that took the Flat File Source and extracted the appropriate data and put it into a new File Destination. This action was repeated automatical...
  • Webinar Series 101
    2/22/2010 11:09:15 AM
    This morning I got up early (since I work midnight - but only 3 more days...sweet) and listened in on the Pragmatic Works Webinar with Jorge Segarra. Check it out at http://www.pragmaticworks.com/resources/webinars/ . This was the first of a series designed for beginners. One subject that was covered was Options that should be selected under Database Properties. Recovery Model should be set to Simple as opposed to Full or Bulk-logged and Auto Close and Auto Shrink should be set to False.    Obvi...
  • This Is "Querious"
    2/16/2010 10:19:16 AM
    Have you ever worked on a query and believed it was perfect but you keep getting error messages and so you tweak it again and fix what you think might be wrong only to get another error message. I know this is going to sound stupid but that happened to me. Next time go ahead and READ the error message. If it include something like this:          Could not find... Make sure you are using the correct DB. You probably don't want “master” in the Available Databases drop-down box so select the correc...

  • Minimizing Fragmentation when Moving data using a Switch
    3/17/2010 11:53:13 PM
    Yesterday was the first day of the SQL Server 2008 R2 airlift.  I attended a great session on Implementing a Fast Track Data Warehouse.    Lots of really interesting information was discussed during the meeting. However, an offline discussion about switching partitioned data in from a stage table provided a good tip that could help reduce fragmentation. If you are constantly switching data into your partition table you could potentially introduce some unwanted fragmentation in your database.  Th...
  • Using SSAS MDX Calculation Color Expressions
    3/17/2010 12:10:25 AM
    Analysis Services calculations are great for storing formulas that your users need to see on a regular basis.  They also have another little feature that adds just a little more wow when your end users browse the cube.  By building a color expression on a calculation you can change either the fore color or background color of a measure value.  Here you can write an MDX expression that will change the font or background color of a cell when a user selects the calculation.  A very basic example is...

  • SQL Agent jobs
    3/14/2010 2:46:26 PM
    Recently I was asked to provide a list of all sql jobs on a certain server running between 2 and 3 in the morning.  We have quite a few jobs and it would be time consuming to look through each to determine the time of day each runs.  So I used the sysjobs, sysjobsschedules tables to return the job name and times the jobs run. There are several jobs related tables in the msdb database: sysjobs sysschedules sysjobhistory sysjobsteps syscategories   The table names are pretty self explanatory.  The...
  • Solving All Versus (Select All) SSRS End User Confusion
    3/12/2010 11:11:39 PM
    When developing reports that use Analysis Services as a data source end user can sometimes be confused about some of the options they see in report parameters.  Anytime you have a parameter that allows for multiple values to be selected then you will see a (Select All) option that Reporting Services adds that make for an easy way to check off each item in the parameter dropdown.   If you followed most of the defaults when developing you dimensions in Analysis Services you likely also have an opt...
