Hello, I have a db on my desktop and a db on our server that are the same. I want to get the records off the server for a table (A) and add them into the same table in have on my desktop. I've tried using DTS to import a table, but i always get the error saying that the opperation failed due to not allowing duplicate primary key records. I realize this, but i don't wan't duplicate keys. I either want it to post over these records, or to skip them and go on with the rest of the import. How can i do this? Thanks in advance, Ben
There are few ways you can do this 1. If you want to countinue with the DTS, you have to use Mulyi phase data pump method in which you can skip the unnessary records. Mor eInformation http://www.sqlservercentral.com/col... do this? Thanks in advance, Ben [/INDENT]
Thanks. That got me closer to a solution. I'm having trouble writing the vb script. Here is what i tried. It parses and tests okay, but then when i try to run it, i get the same error stating that: --------------------------- Transform Data Task: undefined --------------------------- The task reported failure on execution. The statement has been terminated. Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_Address'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'Address'. --------------------------- OK --------------------------- Here's my code: '********************************************************************** ' Visual Basic Transformation Script '************************************************************************ ' Copy each source column to the destination column Function Main() DTSDestination("Line4") = DTSSource("Line4") DTSDestination("DateTimeLastChanged") = DTSSource("DateTimeLastChanged") DTSDestination("Country") = DTSSource("Country") DTSDestination("PostalCode") = DTSSource("PostalCode") DTSDestination("State") = DTSSource("State") DTSDestination("City") = DTSSource("City") DTSDestination("Line3") = DTSSource("Line3") DTSDestination("Line2") = DTSSource("Line2") DTSDestination("Line1") = DTSSource("Line1") DTSDestination("AddressID") = DTSSource("AddressID") Main = DTSTransformStat_OK End Function Function InsertFailureMain() InsertFailureMain = DTSTransformStat_SkipRow End Function Thanks for your help.
I think this is transform failure not a insert failure Check this http://www.sqldts.com/default.aspx?282,4so u can write folowing code Function TransFailureMain() DTSGlobalVariables("CurrentRow").Value = DTSGlobalVariables("CurrentRow").Value + 1 DTSGlobalVariables("BatchesComplete").Value = 0 'write status to log file logfile.writeline "Could not insert source data at row " & DTSGlobalVariables("CurrentRow").Value 'do not insert the row at destination TransFailureMain = DTSTransformstat_SkipInsert End Function
