Problem With Export Of A Table To A Text File

Aug 24, 2006

Dear MSSQL- experts,

I have a strange problem with SQLSERVER 2000.
I tried to export a table of about 40000 lines into a text file using
the Enterprise manager
export assitant. I was astonished to get an exported text file of about
400 MB instead 16 MB which is the normal size of that data.
By examining this file with a text editor I found that the file
included alongside the data of my table MANY zeros which caused the big
file size.

Does someone of you have an idea what could cause the export of
trillions zeros into my textfile and how to only export the significant
data of my table ?

Best regards,

Daniel

Export Text File To A Table

Dec 5, 2000

Anbody please help
I am trying to export a text file to a table using enterprise manager
and all tasks
But the process keeps adding strange charater like squares at the end
of each line and also replaces each empty line in the text file with a record in the table with that square type character. I used the following code to delete all rows with that character (as a work around) but no joy. I am losing hope.

Code is
DELETE FROM table1
WHERE column1 = ' '

Export Data From Table To Text File

Apr 22, 2002

I need to export data from a table to a text file, where the data in the table is deleted after written to the file. It is simple using DTS, but I want to do the export in "chunks" of data, committing the delete say after every 1000 rows.

My thought was a stored procedure would be easy enough to do this (done these in Oracle many times), but I don't know the quickest way to export a row of data from a stored procedure to a text file. Isn't using a command-line shell too slow? What are my options?

Export As Tab Delimited Text File

Dec 5, 2007



Hi,

I am trying to export as a tab delimited text file. For that I have changed my config file as :



<Extension Name="TXT" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.CsvRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.CsvRendering">
<OverrideNames>
<Name Language="en-US">TXT (Tab Delimited Text File)</Name>
</OverrideNames>
<Configuration>
<DeviceInfo>
<FieldDelimiter>&#9;</FieldDelimiter>
<Extension>TXT</Extension>
<Encoding>ASCII</Encoding>
<NoHeader>true</NoHeader>
</DeviceInfo>
</Configuration>
</Extension>


I got this code from another one of the MSDN forms. When I run the report and try to export using this format, it still gives me a csv file instead of tab delimited file.

Can someone please help me fix this code so I can get tab delimited text files.
Thanks a lot,
-Rohit

Cannot Export Large Varchar To Text File

Jun 15, 2001

When using DTS (in SQL 7) to export via OLE DB a large varchar to a text file, it clips it at 255 chars.
No other data access drivers seem to work, either. This is lame! I cannot use bcp as a work
around, because i want to use quoted comma-delimited, which it doesn't support, and I
am using query-based export, where the query calls a stored proc, which bcp also doesn't
support.

Are there any new versions of MDAC that fix this? Anyone know a workaround? My current hack fix
is to split my field into 2, but this is a grubby fix that hassles my reciptients.

This is a pretty fundamental limitation to a major product!

Export To Flat File - Text Qualifier Problem

Jun 7, 2007

I'm exporting using a query to a flat .txt file. The problem I'm encountering is when I export the data and then open the .txt file into excel some columns cause line breaks to the next row. The columns that are breaking to a new row are varchar fields where the user has entered text into the field with double quotes ".

When I export, I'm using row delimiter {CR}{LF} column delimiter Comma and text qualifier Double Quote (")

Is there a way to prevent this from happening when I export and open the flat file into Excel?

I tried using replace, but I was getting a syntax error in my query. Here is the query without using replace:

SELECT e.session_date, l.lab_no, i.first_name + ' ' + i.last_name AS Teacher,
tt.name, d.district_name, s.school_name, t.title, a.q1 AS Question1, a.q2 AS Question2,
a.q3 AS Question3, a.q4 AS Question4, a.q5 AS Question5, a.q6 AS Question6, a.q7 AS Question7,
a.q8 AS Question8, a.q9 AS Question9, a.q10 AS Question10
FROM evaluation e
LEFT OUTER JOIN training t ON t.id = e.training
LEFT OUTER JOIN lab l ON l.id = e.lab_no
LEFT OUTER JOIN instructor i ON i.id = e.instructor
LEFT OUTER JOIN trainee tt ON tt.id = e.trainee
LEFT OUTER JOIN district d ON d.id = e.district
LEFT OUTER JOIN school s ON s.id = e.school
LEFT OUTER JOIN answers a ON a.id = e.answers
WHERE session_date >= '20070401' AND session_date < '20070501'

I would need to use the replace on columns a.q7, a.q8, a.q9, and a.q10

I tried using another delimiter...pipes (|) and that didn't work? Maybe I was attempting it incorrectly?

Thanks in advance for any help.

BCP And Treatment Of NULLs When Export To Fixed Format Text File

Jul 23, 2005

We are using the bcp utility (via APIs) to export data from a SQL tablein a fixed format text file. BCP is inserting spaces for a field ifthe field contains a NULL. This is fine with us except at the end ofthe line, there are no spaces for that field just the end-of-rowterminator prematurely, so it looks like that field is not present andmesses up another piece of software we pump the text file into downstream.Example -- The last row illustrates the problem.123-49-890 Mary Smith Raleigh NC
999-88-123 Henry Ax Boston MA
456-99-123 Sue Kite WA
789-88-126 Andy Yates Philadelphia
We have thought about using a SQL query to convert the NULL dataexplicitly to spaces, but were wondering is there a switch or somethingin our format file to get around this.Thanks.

Importing Text File Problem Using Import And Export Wizard

Feb 5, 2007

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.

How To Export To A Fixed Width Flat Text File With Row Delimiters?

Aug 28, 2007

We're having issues exporting a set of data from SQL to a fixed width flat text file by just doing a right click on the DB, then choosing Tasks > Export Data. You can not specify a row delimiter when you choose a Fixed Width format. The only way around this that we've found is to specificy char(13) and char(10) at the end of the SQL select statement. Without row delimiters you end up with 1 giant record rather than 20,000 regular sized records. Is there any other way around this that we're missing?


Using Ragged Right is not an option either since the record lengths will be inconsistent if the last field doesn't contain a consistent length to the data.


Thanks,
Mike

How Do I Export Data From MS SQL Server Tables To Text File With 'insert' Statements

Jan 3, 2005

I am trying to take an entire MS SQL database and put it in an sql file. I have succesfully copied the tables into an sql file by highlighting the tables in enterprise manager and choosing 'generate sql script'.

That gives me the structure, but now I would like the data (in insert statements). I have looked in enterprise manager's export wizard and sql analyzer to no avail. There seem to be a lot of options for exporting data except this one! Please point me in the right direction.

At the end of the day, I would like to be able to put everything in a text file. Then, should I have problems, I can just copy my text into query analyzer and have a brand new database.

Thank you in advance.

My DTS Package In Via Enterprise Manager Will Not Export Entire Column To A Text File

Nov 28, 2007

I have created a DTS package that pulls data from one column (varchar,600) in a table and exports it to a text file. The max length in this field is only 285 characters long, however, the end of one of the records is being truncated in the text file. Data is tab delimited in the table and is being exported that way.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
