Why?

I have a source of a 2007 excel workbook and of the data is there that needs to be there for the import to the SQL 2008 destination table. i.e all "not null" fields are populated and mapped except the primary key which happens to be a unique identifier datatype.
I have tried creating a column using the NEWSEQUENTIALID() function in the first row.....that works for inserting nulls into a "shell" db but it fails everytime on the destination table that has a primaery key on the field and unique identifer as the data type.
Question:
How do I generate the GUIDS (unique identifers) from a DTSX package?
Is there a work around? I have spent the whole night trying everything except the right way.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Regards,
Hulicat

Script Task with a call to new Guid()

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible.

Is Remote Connection enabled for your SQL server instance?
Goto
Configuration Tools >> SQL SErver Surface Area Configuration >> Surface area configuration for services and connections
Enable the remote connection by selecting local and remote connection (using both TCP/IP and named pipes)

Are you able to connect with SQL Server Management Studio?
|
|
|
|
|
|
What type of application did you connect with SQL Server? ASP.NET or Windows application?
What type of authentication are you using to connect?
|
|
|
|
|
Asp.net and im using mixed mode
my code
string m = "Data Source=./SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:/Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/MSSQL.1/MSSQL/Data/TestData.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True";
SqlConnection mycon = new SqlConnection(m);
mycon.open();

You are missing DATABASE name in connection string.
|
|
|
|
|
So you are using Windows Authentication.
ASP.NET application will be running under ASPNET account if you open your site from local IIS.
Therefore the ASPNET may not have access to the database. Try to use SQL authentication.
Also the database path should look like C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\TestData.mdf. I am not sure ADO.NET will accept / in a path specification.

Is your connection string correct?

what is wrong with my connecting string????
|
|
|
|
|
|
i add database name but it give me the same result
what is ment by Verify that the instance name is correct ?????
|
|
|
|
|
Data Source=./SQLEXPRESS
./SQLEXPRESS
This is instance name.
Check in your management studio if this is correct.

Restart your pc or restart the SQL services.
Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
Have you enabled
Client Protocol > Named Pipes ?
|
|
|
|

services can be restarted by right clicking your sql server in Management studio and clicking on restart or from windows services (typing services.msc in run will open)
