OLE DB Source Editor

hi,

I am using SSIS to extract data from sql server and import into MDB file. In
the process, under data flow task, I have used OLE DB Source Editor as source. Here
i have choosen SQL Command as mode of data population. In the box below i
have typed the following statements.

"Exec Site_Address"

I have used many temperory tables in this procedure.
When i run this procedure in the query analyzer window i get the desired data which has to be imported to an MDB. After typing the above statements and when i
click the button preview i can see the data. But when i click the
Columns.... i dont see anything there. I am unable to see any columns there.
This is getting to my nerves because, when i use OLE DB as Destination i am
unable to map the columns and i get an error.

I dont know how to solve this problem. cannot we map columns in temp tables .... or wat is it ?

Please help me to find a solution.

I will also paste the procedure code that i have used.

Create procedure Site_Address

as

begin

create table #Data_For_Site_Address_Table

(

unitid varchar(20),

city varchar(50),

cust_num varchar(40),

zip varchar(20),

CountryID varchar(20),

CreatedBy varchar(20)

)

-- tblcrdsiteaddress

insert into #Data_For_Site_Address_Table

select distinct * from

(select

(select top 1 fsu.ser_num

from fs_unit fsu

where ca.cust_seq <> 0 and fsu.cust_num = ca.cust_num

order by ca.city desc) as UnitID,ca.city,ca.cust_num,ca.zip,

CASE

WHEN ca.country like 'Luxembourg' THEN 'LU'

WHEN ca.country like 'Deutschland' THEN 'DE'

WHEN ca.country like 'Austria' THEN 'AT'

WHEN ca.country like 'Czech Republic' THEN 'CZ'

WHEN ca.country like 'Denmark' THEN 'DK'

WHEN ca.country like 'CHINA' THEN 'CN'

WHEN ca.country like 'CROATIA' THEN 'HR'

WHEN ca.country like 'Egypt' THEN 'EG'

WHEN ca.country like 'Germany' THEN 'DE'

WHEN ca.country like 'Hungary' THEN 'HU'

WHEN ca.country like 'Jordan' THEN 'JO'

WHEN ca.country like 'Korea, Republic Of' THEN 'KR'

WHEN ca.country like 'Poland' THEN 'PL'

WHEN ca.country like 'Switzerland' THEN 'CH'

WHEN ca.country like 'United Kingdom' THEN 'GB'

ELSE '- N/A -' END AS CountryID, CA.CreatedBy

from custaddr ca

) al

where unitid is not null

Select TT.Unitid as Short_Site_Name, TT.City as Site_Name,'N.A' as Street_Po_Box,TT.Zip as Postal_Code_City, Null as State_Region,

TT.CountryID as CountryID,Null as Zone, Null as Note, TT.CreatedBy as UserID, GetDate() as Date, 'A' as [Action]

From #Data_For_Site_Address_Table TT

END

Thanks.

I just did a quick search in the forum and found a couple threads dealing with SP being used inside of an OLE DB Source:

This, particularly, seems to talk about same issue:

Hopefully this should explain the problem:

I knew I have read about a solution somewhere; I just could not remember the exact place.

Good stuff Jamie!

Well it wasn't at the above link cos I only wrote it about an hour ago

thanks Jaime... that was great.

The problem is solved when i used a function......

But there should be a way how to use a sproc right ? In another posts that you had written, saying SET FMTONLY can solve the issue. i tried using it, but it was futile.

Any clue how to use it ?

No, in some circumstances I just don't think it can be done. Where did I suggest SET FMTONLY?

Thanks for your help.
