The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

SQL 2005 Import Export Wizard bug?

Asked by bd9000 in SQL Server 2005, MS SQL DTS, MS SQL Server

Tags: error, sql, import, 2005, export

I seem to have found a "feature" in the SQL2005 Import Export Wizard that generates errors only when the "Optimize for many tables" box is checked.  Apparently, there is no way to copy tables with clustered indexes when this option is checked:
The servers are 2 SQL 2005 Standard with all the latest SPs etc on 2 virgin systems.
The source server is Win2003 Server Std, the destination WinXPpro SP2.

I start the wizard and get to the point where I select the tables.
I highlight a few of them, click the "Edit Mappings" button and check "delete rows in existing tables" and check "enable identity insert" with the destination schema name of dbo.
Then close that window.  I click on the optimize for many tables and run in a transaction.
I go ahead and execute the package and get the following errors:

TITLE: Microsoft.SqlServer.DtsTransferProvider
------------------------------

ERROR : errorCode=-1071636471 description=SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR.  An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
An OLE DB record is available.  Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client"  Hresult: 0x80004005  Description: "The statement has been terminated.".
An OLE DB record is available.  Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client"  Hresult: 0x80004005  Description: "Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'dbo.Address' with unique index 'UIX_Address_AddressGUID'.".
 helpFile=dtsmsg.rll helpContext=0 idofInterfaceWithError={8BDFE893-E9D8-4D23-9739-DA807BCDC2AC}


After trying also to drop and recreate the tables, I get the same problem again.  The solution being to get rid of the extra keys (this is NOT a viable option, since the tables must be exactly as they are on the server and this has to be duplicated nightly).

If I UN-check the optimize tables option and re-choose each table manually with everything else being identical
( I  check "delete rows in existing tables" and check "enable identity insert" for each table individually) then
I don't get ANY errors and the job completes.  HOWEVER, if I do the same with every table, I get a warning saying I should OPTIMIZE,  (which I don't click as it always fails with that option) the job fails.

Go Figure!

Any ideas
