Importing Text File To SQL
HI Guys, I am doing the following to read the data in a text file and inserting it into SQL. 1) Open db connection 2) Open Text File 3) loop through text file all along inserting each row into the db 4) close the text file 5) close the db connection However, the text file has over 400 rows/lines of data that need to be inserted into the db. Each line in the text file is a row in the db. At anyrate, the above script times out. Is there a better, faster way to do this? I can't use Bulk Insert due to permissions previlages. Thanks in Advance!

Importing Text File Into Database
Hello Everyone, I would like to import a text file which contains one string (a large integer) per line not separated by commas or anything else except a carriage return. Does anyone know of an easy way to store this in a database file? I'm open to suggestions if there is more than one way to save this kind of information within a database. I have SQL server 2005 developer edition if that helps in any way. I'm also starting to learn about Linq so if there is some other way you would store this information for that purpose I would love to hear about that as well. C# code is preferable, but I can use the automatic translators if that's all you have. By the way, I'm a newbie to this subject (if you couldn't tell). Thanks in advance. Robert

Importing Data From Ascii Text File
Help! I have just gotten started with visual web developer and have what I believe are sql databases (perhaps sql express) that have come with them. do sql databases use an extension of mdf? Anyway, what I am trying to do is import some data from a text file into a table in one of these .mdf files with visual web developer so that I can get started developing with some meaningful data. I have a valid sql connection established to this file (personal.mdf) I have created a table within it called users and have set up the structure (schema?) correctly. All I need to do is import some data from a text file (users.txt) that is also setup correctly I believe. I think after that I'm going to be fine! (Sure). Can anyone help me please? Thanks, Joe

Importing Text File: How To Dynamically Change The Row Delimiter
Hi, I have a dts package that imports a number of text files into a SQL Server 2000 database table. The package has been set up to accept a text file with a row delimiter of carriage return and line feed ({CR}{LF}). Some of the text files I receive only have a line feed ({LF}) as the row delimiter and the dts package fails the file. Is there an activex script i can use that will scan the file and change the row delimiter as required? i was going to use the filesystemobject which allows me to read a line at a time, however the Readline method doesn't read the new line character. The text files are too big to read into one variable and then do a replace. Any help would be appreciated I am using SQL Server 2000 SP3, Windows Server 2000 and Windows XP Professional. All systems are fully patched Regards Justin

Fixed Width Text File Importing Problem
Does anyone know how to import a fixed width text file into a data table, using T-SQL? I am having problem importing a fixed width text file into a data table with fields smaller than the width of the text file. The text file must be broken up into the related fields in the table, using a job. The job must be able to process other text files of fixed width also. I have tried using bulk insert, but it only allows a text file be inserted into a column of equal size or larger. I have also tried importing into a table, then trying to break up the field using variables, then assigning the variables to their related fields, but I get error messages. Is there any code or references using T-SQL on this problem, that someone can share with me. Also, I have used the DTS Import Wizard, but it works for a specific file, not files with different filenames. Thanks James

Issues Importing A Text File (tab Delimited) To A SQL Table
I have a text file I am trying to import to a table. This text file is in a tab delimited format. I am using DTS to import the data to a new table I made. The fields are varchar and are set to allow nulls & allow 8,000 characters per field. The error I am getting is that the data exceeds the allowed amount (or something like that) in col4. Now I have checked everything in column 4 and nothing exceeds 5,000 spaces/characters combined. I have checked the entire sheet (in excel) for that fact, and there is not one single column/row/cell that exceeds 5,000 spaces/characters combined. What the heck could be causing SQL to tell me I am trying to import too much data in one column when there is nothing that even comes close to 8,000 characters & spaces combined?

Importing Text File Removes Decimal Separator
Hi, I'm trying to import a semi-comma separated text file into a SQL db. I have a field in the text file that contains decimal number. As a decimal separator it's used a comma (15,35). When i use a DTS package to create a destination table and import all rows, the field is created as a float field. In this field the decimal comma is removed so the number in SQL becomes 1535. If I change the decimal separator to (.) i works OK. But I need to get it work with comma as decimal separator. In the DTS package the field form the text file is recognised as varchar (8000). Any ideas? Ingar

Problem Importing Data From SQL To A EBCDIC Text File
Hi, how are you? I generated a Data Flow Task where a OLE DB Source connects to a SQL Server and gets data from a table. The next step, writes a txt file with the information (Flat File destination). All data is imported to txt fiel if this one is configured as Code Page: 1252 (ANSI - Latin I) in the connection manager for the flat file. But if I change Code Page: 500 (IBM EBCDIC - International) which is the one I need beacuse I have to imported in a mainframe, it doesn't work. This is the error that I receive: Code Snippet TITLE: Package Validation Error ------------------------------ Package Validation Error ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Error at Data Flow Task [Flat File Destination [31]]: The code page on input column "STATUS_CD" (1293) is 1252 and is required to be 500.

Importing Text File Problem Using Import And Export Wizard
Hi, I'm trying to import text file (generated by UNIX - collation ISO LATIN 2) into the database using SQL SERVER 2005 Import and Export Wizard. I have got a problem with importing a decimal number, because in that column are not only decimal numbers (that's OK), but there are also spaces (not null, the column is filled by spaces and it looks like | |). When I'm trying import that file, then will occur the problem of truncation and import stops. I can import that data by BULK INSERT, but I would like to import it by Import and Export Wizard at once without using subsequent conversions.

Error When Importing Text File - Saving In Notepad First Works
I'm trying to import a tab separated text file into sql server 2005 using the import guide. But when running the job I get the error message Error 0xc02020c5: Data Flow Task: Data conversion failed while converting column "Column 19" (67) to column "Column 19" (404). The conversion returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard) The column 19 which reported a problem contains this information: ?searchroot=/_gen_/txt/&template=std.htm&use=prospect&intref=1_26067 However what is mysterious is that if I open the file in notepad or Excel and resave it again the job runs perfectly. This is not a way we could make it work later on since it's an automatic job that will run each night on a new text file. The text file is sent from Norway to Sweden - and I use ANSI latin 1 when importing. The column has datatype DT_STR with a width of 500. I use Locale Swedish and when I save in Notepad it is saved in ANSI, I use Windows XP Swedish version.

Importing Text File Data Into SQL Server - Missing Some Rows
Hello, I need to import one text file into my SQL database. While I am trying to import using SQL Server DTS, I have to select Fixed Filed?, and later I need to mention the columns. In this process I have imported the file, and later through some analysis I have found that there are some columns which are not properly separated in the text file. Her I am facing the following problems. It causes to append the next row value with the previous row value in SQL Server table. I am not aware of the how many rows are there in my text file, but after importing into SQL server I can see 271109 rows After analysis I have seen that some of the rows are not imported so, how can I count how many rows are there in my text file so that I can cross verify. Note: As I have mentioned above some of my rows are messed up with the next row and SQL Server counts these rows as one row. Here is the sample data where I exactly I am facing the problem. In the text file values are displaying like: 04203 03/22/2003 18654 1 CHARGE RECARGO DOMINGO 200.00 04203 02/06/2007 0005071 CHARGE 2DO ABRIR TUMBA 375.00 04203 02/06/2007 000507C CHARGE CITY TAX 5.62 04203 02/06/2007 000507S CHARGE PR TAX 20.62 04203 02/06/2007 171078 PAYMENT PAGO FACT.507 VISA 401.24 04206 10/27/1990 6826 PAYMENT PAGO FACT. 6828 CASH 50.00 After importing into SQL Server same values are like below: 04203 03/22/2003 18654 1 CHARGE RECARGO DOMINGO 200.00 04203 02/06/2007 0005071 CHARGE 2DO ABRIR TUMBA 375.00 04203 02/06/2007 000507C CHARGE CITY TAX 5.62 04203 02 /06/2007 04203 02/06/2007 171078 PAYMENT PAGO FACT.507 VISA 401.24 04206 10/27/1990 6826 PAYMENT PAGO FACT. 6828 CASH 50.00 It will be great help to me, if any one knows the solution for this kind of scenarios.

Problem Importing Csv Delimited Text File Into A Sql Server 2005 Table
I am using the Bulk Insert command and trying to import a CSV delimited text file into a table and I am having problems with the quote field delimiters ", " The command below works but it takes in all the "" quotes as well and the field delimiter comma , works only if the commas are the separators only.

Can anyone suggest a course of action on how to handle the error when the MOD_DATE field is completely empty? Thanks in advance, Jonathan

Problems Importing Text Files With Double-quotes As Text Qualifier
I have text data files from a third party and they use comma as field delimiters and enclose the text for each column in double-quotes. Not a problem for most of the data files until they start sending files where there is " within the column values. SSIS package fails with the error: The column delimiter for column "Column 1" was not found. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated.Thankspcp

Theimport creates new records.Hence is there a way to filter these formatting characters out easilywithout disrupting the row delimiter. Using a VbScript, if anyone hasdone this I'd be grateful of a copy of the script or utility.The source of the file (IBM Iseries base app) cannot change the outputformat.Thanks in advancePaul*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

Hello. I am currently trying to import text files into a SQL Server 6.5 table using bcp. I am not having a problem getting ONE .txt file into ONE field into ONE table. Using bcp, is there a way to have multiple text files import into SQL Server 6.5, each into it's own field, in ONE table. The problem is that every time the bcp batch is run, the text file just appends to the first field in the table. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks, Spencer

Importing Text Files
I have to import 18000 text files into a sql database. Each file contains 10 fields and around 5000 records. I am currently doing this with DTS. What I am wondering is this: Is DTS the most efficient i.e. quickest way to import all this data. Bearing in mind there is about 90 million records to import in all. I would appreciate the benefit of somebody elses experience when dealing with this type of thing. Cheers, Brookesy

Importing Text Files To Sql Server Using Asp.net/Vb.net
Hi, Can anyone help? Need to upload a text file to a sql database but keep getting errors. I'm creating a page that will allow users to to bulk import and update to a MsSql database. The users provide a text file every so often with new/update information. So i want to use a DTS package to transform the infomation, and create a table in the database, then check against existing/non existing records, if the record exist, update it, if not insert it. I'm using Visual Studio.Net, ASP.Net and coding in VB.Net. Anyone know where i can find documentation/code regarding the above? I will be greatful for any help.

Help Needed With Importing Text Files
I have a load (180,000+) of text files whose contents need to go into a SQL server database.Whats the best way of doing this? Using a c# console program and if so, using FileStream or StreamReader? Or using a feature of SQL server itself. The text files themselves are less that 1k and are literally less than 200 characters.The problem is, I've tried a WinForm and although I can detect what files are there, as soon as I attempt to open one for reading, everything stops working and won't insert anything to the database.

Importing Text Files - DTS Help Needed
Hi allCould someone help me with the following problem? Hours of googlingyesterday couldn't get me the answer. I'm using SQL 2000 and DTS andtrying to import a huge fixed width text file.File is >1m rows and >200 columns and is defined by a proprietory (i.e. notbcp produced) format specification of the formName Start LengthFld1 0 20Fld2 19 5Fld3 24 53and so on.Tbe only way I've found to define the columns so that DTS can import thefile properly is to go through the wizard and click on the starts of eachcolumn. I don't want to use bcp if possible (I did enough of that onSQL7) - but surely there's a way to get DTS to read from a format file so Idon't have to click 200 times (with all the ensuing errors I could make).Any help greatly appreciated.CheersRob
