ODBC data flow source

How do I create a Data Flow Task with an ODBC Data Flow Source? I know how to create an ODBC Connection Manager (at the bottom of the screen). But, when creating the data flow task, what do I use for the source component ... what do I drag from the toolbox under Data Flow Sources? All I have on this list is: Pointer, DataReader Source, Excel Source, Flat File Source, OLE DB Source, Raw File Source, and XML Source.

All I want to do is simply copy data from an ODBC data source into a SQL Server table.

ThanksDataReaderSrc is the one you'll need to pull out data from a ODBC connection, point it to the ADO.Net:ODBC connection you created and set up the SqlCommand properly, then hook it up with a OLEDBDest adapter or a SQLServerDest.|||

Can Data Reader Source be customized(for examplae, use parameters)?

|||The SqlCommand in DataReaderSrc is expressionable - which means, you can set SqlCommand to sth like "select * from HumanResources.Employee where EmployeeID="+(DT_WSTR,1)@.myVar1. For setting expressionable properties for dataflow components, pls reference BOL, basically you need to set it at dataflow task's "expressions" property.

ODBC Connection to a linked database

I'd like to set up an ODBC DSN to a table in a linked SQL Server, via
my local SQL Server.

I'm having a few problems:
1. When I use Enterprise Manager to link the remote SQL Server, it
doesn't allow me to select the database in the remote server. It only
shows one database.

2. When I use the Data Sources program to set up the ODBC DSN, it only
shows databases in the local SQL Server, not in the linked one. If I
try typing it in: [NAMEOFLINKEDSERVER].databasename - it tells me that
it is an invalid table.Thats quite normal, but you are able to use the four part notation,
which will switch to another database if specified.

E.g. ODBC Connection points automatically to Northwind ( as the default
database of the user) you can use

SELECT <columnlist> FROM Linkdservername.Databasename.Objectname

which switches to the other database to select.

HTH, Jens Suessmeyer.|||Jens,

Thank you.

I'd rather not need to change the table names in the MDB. They just
use the default database of the ODBC Data Source. How can I set the
ODBC default database to be a database in a linked server?|||if you are using a DSN, just go in the ODBC Administrator (of Windows)
and change the database to the ones needed.

HTH, jens Suessmeyer.|||Jens,

Thanks - but the ODBC Adminsitrator only shows *local* databases, not
databases on the linked server. If I try to just type it in, it tells
me that it's not a valid db, and refuses to let me do so!!!|||How did you register the linked server ? Is it a DSN bind linked server
or was it specified within a conneciton string ? ODBC Administrator
doesnt show only the local databases, it shows the servers/databases
that were specified within the DSN. Look at the server ODBC Admin to
see if connection to your linked server is specified (some people look
on their local DSN rather than looking on the remote DSNs onthe SQL
Server which uses the linked server)

HTH, Jens Suessmeyer.

ODBC Connection Problem

Hi all
I'm attempting to setup a linked server to a cache database within
Enterprise Manager. I setup an ODBC driver on the server and the
connection worked when tested.
Selected Micorsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Driver from the drop down
list.
Entered the data source name in the Data Source field and I keep
getting "error 7399: OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error. OLE
DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDASQL' IDBInitialize::Initialize
returned 0x800004005;]"
Does the ODBC driver need to be installed on the same drive as SQL?
The driver is a system DNS stored on C: while SQL is installed on
another drive.
Or am I missing some parameters in the setup?
Thanks
mike
Got it to work.
Had to set everything up on the server and not on my machine.

ODBC and Enterprise Manager (still) don't show databases with users other than sa

I have several Win2000 servers running SQL Server 2000, SP2 (8.00.665)
and only one of them developed this problem. When trying to set up a
new ODBC setting using any other login than sa, it doesn't show any
databases besides the system db's. When logging in with Enterprise
manager (all other logins except sa), the Databases list shows 'No
items'. All logins work fine with Query Analyzer. I already recreated
missing guest accounts in some of the databases, but that didn't help.
I've also installed the latest MDAC (2.7 SP1) and after that didn't
correct the problem, I installed SP3a. It's still not working.
I'm thinking about reinstalling SQL Server, but my client doesn't like
the idea. So if anyone has any idea what might help, I'd be greatful.
Thank you!
br,
AnnaAnna
Firstly you need to have SQL SP3 if you have not applied the patch to stop
the SQL Slammer on the server.
Are you using ODBC/ Query Analyzer from the server or the client?
I am getting a few problems as well after install MDAC 2.71 which has
somehow deleted my ODBC drivers from the Drivers tab window.

Is the SQL a named instance?

First, I would try determine if it is an Server or Client Problem. ( The
Server has both Client and Server DLLs on it.)
To see if it is an client problem try to make the ODBC from a machine
without the problem to the Server with the problem.
If the problem is NOT there then it is an client problem.
If the problem is there confirm it by making an ODBC connect to one of the
Good Servers from the same test client.
If it is an server problem, I have nothing to suggest.
( Note my company spent over 40 man hours on an "Server Problem" that
turned out to be an client DLL issuse in SQL SP3)
If an client problem.
First check the version of SQLSRV32.dll ; is the correct one.
Link to version of SQLSRV32.dll
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http%3a%2f%2fsupport.microsoft.com%2fservicedesks%2ffileversion%2fdllinfo.asp&fp=1
Then, I would try running the component checker ( on the MDAC ).

I already have SP3a installed, as you can see from my original post.

Several clients.

This problem emerged BEFORE installing MDAC 2.71, as you can see from
my original post.

No.

It is most definitely a server problem. I wouldn't have posted a
question without making sure where the problem is exactly.

Obtaining Scripts

I need to script a couple of things that I do through enterprise manager...is there a way to do a process (such as clear connections/detach database) through enterprise manager and then copy the script that sql ran in the back ground?
Best way is to run profiler and capture the commands while performing your tasks on Ent. Manager.
