Importing Data From Flat File Into 2005 Express

Nov 16, 2006

Hello everyone,

I have exported data from few tables from my old sql server 7.0 database. Now, I need to import those data into new database which is on SQL Server 2005 Express. How do I do that in 2005 express server? Any idea?

Or, is there any better way to import data for selected tables into new database?

Thanks,

Importing Data From A Flat File

Mar 11, 2007

I have a flat file data source - call it "order". Its a text file that looks something like this:

ORDERNAME| Example1

CUSTOMER|Acme Industries
COST|11611
ITEMS
B1|550S162-43(33)|35.708|1|636
T1|550S162-43(33)|20.967|1|636
T2|550S162-43(33)|20.967|1|636
W1|350S162-43(33)|1.330|2|501
W21|350S162-43(33)|1.330|1|911
W2|350S162-43(33)|3.044|2|501
W20|350S162-43(33)|3.044|1|911

I would like to write the metadata to a [order header] table and the ITEMS to a [order detail] table. Can someone direct me to a example of something similar?

Problem Importing Data From Flat File Into Decimal(10,2) Field

Oct 30, 2007

Problem importing data from flat file into decimal(9,2) field. The data in the flat file is 000001453 and I am copying it to a decimal(10,2) field and instead of showing up in the 0000014.53 it comes across as 0001453.00. I tried defining the input columns a few different ways but none seemed to work. How do I do this with SSIS or do I need to write a SP and use convert? Thanks.

Import Flat File Into SQL Server 2005 Express

Jan 6, 2007

I am new to SQL Server, and migrating part of an Access application toSSE. I am trying to insert a comma delimited file into SSE 2005. I amable to run a BULK INSERT statement on a simple file, specifying thefield (,) and row () terminators. I can also do the same with aformat file.Here is the problem. My csv file has 185 columns, with a mixture ofdatatypes. Sometimes, a text field will contain the field delimiter aspart of the string. In this case (and only in this case) there will bedouble quotes around the string to indicate that the comma is part ofthe field, and not a delimiter.Is there any way to indicate that there is a text delimiter that isonly present some of the time?If not, any suggestions on getting the data into SSE?Many thanks for your input.Cheryl

I can't use DTS nor DTSwizard as I need to put it in a .sql and run it through a command line via .bat file (it's more for the users).

Each row ends with an EOL character, the fields are all fixed width, but I have a little problem here, some rows are empty but just with a EOL character.

How shall I go about it?

Importing Flat File Using DTS

Dec 6, 2000

I have large flat files that I need to import using DTS. The record counts are between 500,000 and 3000,000. Or, 16 to 116 MB. When creating the DTS package I need to use to import, the wizard is haulting at the point where I should place the fixed points for the fields. I thinks it is because, the wizard will only recognize excel or text files. I cannot save these files as either txt or xls, because of their size. does anybody have any suggestions?

I can manually enter the value in the table so I know it can handle data in the format it is in.. (table field is date time) but I cant get import wizard to read the file and bring in the data.. It bombs at coloumn 7... which is the date field.. It works fine if I delete the milisecond portion i.e. anything after the dot but I need to keep that information.



Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Importing DB2 Flat File With Bulk Insert

Oct 22, 2007

HI,



I am having trouble importing a flat file that was extracted from an AS400 server, into a SQL 2005 DB table using Bulk Insert. This file contains a column (field) that is of a Packed Decimal data type. Data in all other fields is displayed normally when viewing this file in a text editor such as Note Pad or Text Pad, but this one field comes up with unknown encoding: squares, thick vertical lines, basically strange characters and no numeric data.



Does anyone have any experience dealing with file of this sort?



Any insight would be appreciated.



Thanks.

Date Issues While Importing From Flat File

Nov 5, 2007

I have a Data loading job using SSIS (Flat File to SSIS).

I been having issues with some bad data records while importing the file.
(Date Column).
Here is an example -- 7/31/0200 (Actually have around 600 Records of this nature)

While importing these records, the package fails as it cannot convert this "7/31/0200" string to a DATTIME Column Value.

Any idea on how i can overcome this?

Slow Flat File Source Importing

Oct 2, 2007

I have a flat file source with 500,000 rows. Each row has 1 column, with about 500 characters in it. It's getting sucked into a OLEDB destination (table) in the exact same format.

Execution of this takes around 20-30 minutes, which seems silly. I read about the "fast parsing" option, but can't use it since my column is a string. Any ideas on how to speed this up?

Note: The column width for the input and output is varchar(3000). My destination table also has a varchar(3000) field. I can't imagine that is the problem, but thought I'd include it just in case.

Truncation Error When Importing From ODBC To Flat File

Jul 31, 2006

I am having problems reading from and ODBC conncetion from Oracle RDB into SSIS. I am using a DataReader source which uses a ADO.NET odbc connection to an oracle RDB database. I am having that write to a flat file. When I read integers from the source, it works just fine. When I read character data (char(48) for example), it gives me trucation errors. Is the DataReader source capable of reading char data from an odbc connection?

Importing Online XML File Into SQL Server 2005 Tables – No Data Transferred

Oct 12, 2006

Does anyone have any great suggestions on how I can import an online XML file into an SQL 2005 table?

So far I tried to accomplish it with SSIS Data Flow Task where my source is XML Source (Data access mode: XML file location; XML location: URL, Use inline schema = True). This set up properly identified the columns to be imported.

I used Copy Column data flow transformation task to load data to OLE DB destination table that has same structure.

When I run the task it does execute with no errors, however the table remains empty. It looks like I am failing to read the actual data.

Do you have any suggestions? I am willing to go around this approach with stored procs/com/you name it €“ just make it work!

Thanks a lot for your help!

Problem Importing Multiple Flat Files Into SQL Sevrer (2005) Using SSIS

Mar 3, 2008

Hi,

I'm just learning SSIS. As I was following the tutorial on foreach loop container (lesson 2) to export multiple flat files in creating a simple ETL package in SSIS, I get the following error:

SSIS package "Take17.dtsx" starting.
Information: 0x4004300A at Extract Cobra EBA, DTS.Pipeline: Validation phase is beginning.

This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number specified in MaximumErrorCount. Change the MaximumErrorCount or fix the errors.
SSIS package "Take17.dtsx" finished: Failure.

I spent some time in understanding where could be the error. I traced it to the following place. If you take a look at the Lesson#2 in creating a simple ETL package in SSIS, using foreach loop container to import files into SQL server, as soon as I finish going through steps in configuring the file connection manager to use the variable for connectionstring, it immediately disappears. I repeated the tutorial three times exactly as I pointed out and when I reach to this step of configuring file connection manager for connectionstring, it takes the path and when I start debugging it, I get this error. When I go and check if everything is Ok, the connectionstring value is empty.

Why the value in connectionstring disappears?

Thank you.

Unable To Edit Pre-defined Flat File Connection Manager Properties In The Flat File Destination Editor

Aug 24, 2007

Hi,

I am testing SSIS and have created a Flat File Destination. I defined the Flat File Connection as New for the first time and it worked fine. Now, I would like to go back and modify the Flat File Connection in the Flat File Destination Editor, but it allows only to create a New connection rather allowing me to edit the existing one. For testing, I can go back and create a new connection, but if my connection had 50-100 columns then it would be an issue to re-create it from scratch.

Did someone else faced this issue?


Thanks,

SSIS - Data Flow To Flat File - Insert At Start Of File

Oct 24, 2007

Hi all,

In a foreachloop, I am inserting records into a flat file which is working fine. But the thing is that as the file grows, it takes longer for it to locate the EOF(End of File) of the flat file so as to insert the records.

I have around 70-100 lines written to the file at each loop and there are more than 20k records to be looped. wihich means that at the end I should be having 1400k - 20000k line in the text file.


One solution would be to insert the records at the start of the file itself so that it does not has to lookup the EOF each time before writting.

Another would be to generate separate files and then merge it.

Any idea how can this can be done?


Beside this I have to zip the file and then SFTP to a given address.

Any suggestion or help would be welcome.

Flat File Connection Manager Throws Error When A Column Gets Added To The Flat File

Dec 27, 2006

Hi,

I have a situation where a tab limited text file is used to populate a sql server table.

The tab limited text file comes from a third party vendor. There are fixed number of columns we need to export to the sql server table. However the third party may add colums in the text file. Whenenver the text file has an added column (which we dont need to import) the build fails since the flat file connection manager does not create the metadata for it again. The problem goes away  where I press the button "Reset Columns" since it builds the metadata then. Since we need to build the tables everyday we cannot automate it using SSIS because the metadata does not change automatically. Is there a way out in SSIS?

Output Column Width Not Refected In The Flat File That Is Created Using A Flat File Destination?

May 11, 2006

I am transferring data from an OLEDB source to a Flat File Destination and I want the column width for all of the output columns to 30 (max width amongst the columns selected), but that is not refected in the Fixed Width Flat File that got created. The outputcolumnwidth seems to be the same as the inputcolumnwidth. Is there any other setting that I am possibly missing or is this a possible defect?

Any inputs will be appreciated.
