I'm trying to upload a small Web application with a one table database. The hosting company, GoDaddy requires that I upload the database as a comma delimited file.
I created the database in Visual Web Developer Express but also have Visual Studio and SQL Server Management Studio Express.
I can't figure out how to export the database into a comma delimited file using any of these tools.
This should be simple like it is in Access but that doesn't seem to be the case. This is holding up deploying my Web Application.
Hi, I'm trying to deploy my Web site to GoDaddy. They told me I have to export the SQL Server Express database to a comma delimited file and then upload that file. The export procedure is simple in Access but I don't see any way to do it in SQL Server or from Visual Web Developer or Visual Studio. Also, I can ask them, but I assume I have to export each table separately and also export the ASPNETDB as well. Thanks for the help
I was wondering if anyone might be able to say how I could export data captured via a view into a comma delimited csv file.
So far I have tried using BCP to access my view and export to a CSV file, but the CSV file isn't comma delimited. I tried finding examples but couldn't see what I should do to have a comma delimited file. (I'm getting a bit tired now, so I might be missing something!)
I have created a bat file containing the following code:
Using Flat File Connection Manager, I am specifying Text Qualifier = Double quotes{"}, and i have TXT file with one column for lastname and first name as "LN,FN", and settings are set to comma delimted, now the connectin manager is creating two different columns for LN and FN,
Hi I'm pretty new to using Microsoft Visual C# .NET and I want to upload a comma delimited text file from my local machine into a table in an sql server database through a web app. How would I go about programming this and what controls do I need? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi,On SQLServer 2000, I have a table with a following structure:MYTABLEcol1 char,col2 date,col3 numberMy Objective:------------Externally (from a command line), to select all columns and write theoutput into a file delimited by a comma.My method:---------1. Probably will use OSQL or BCP to do this.2. Use the following syntax:select RTRIM(col1) +','+ RTRIM(col2) +','+ RTRIM(col3)from MYTABLE;My 3 Problems:-------------1) If there is a NULL column, the result of concatenating any value withNULL, is NULL. How can I work around this? I still want to record thiscolumn as null. Something like say from the example above, if col2 isnull, would result to: APPLE,,52) The time format when querying the database is: 2003-06-24 15:10:20.However, on the file, the data becomes: 24 JUN 2003 3:10PM. How can Ipreserve the YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format? Notice that I also lost theSS.3) Which utility is better? BCP or OSQL?For OSQL, it has a "-s" flag which gives me the option of putting acolumn separator. But the result is:"APPLE ,14 JUN 2003 , 5"I don't need the extra space.While for BCP, there is no column separator flag.You will notice from my inquiry above that my background in SQLServer isnot very good.Thanks in Advance!!RegardsRicky*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
I have a problem... When I insert data from a comma delimited file using this mehod a flat file connection sorting, merge join and inserting into the database I get "" around all the data!! The quotes end up around the column names and everything! I had to go in and manually remove the quotes in the text file to get some of my data conversions to work. I know there is a better way. How do I get SSIS to load the data without the quotes? This is an example of the data in the file:
"1007","1","A","","Congratulations - No Health Violations Found","11/02/2005","1007"
When I remove the quotes I do not have any problems. How do I do this without modifying the underlying data? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!
I have 2 sql tables. 1 is the header table and another is the detail table. How can I have the header record being appended in the text file and then have the detail records being appended to a same text file again with comma delimited ?
I want to join differnet tables and import the data into comma delimited text file. There will be lot of checks like if then else to manipulate data. I want to use stored procedure but don't know how to output to text file. Is there any utility which can be used in stored procedure. In future this will be run as an automated job. Thanks in advance.
I am having a problem using the Bulk Insert task. I am getting the msg: SSIS package "Package.dtsx" starting. Error: 0xC002F304 at Bulk Insert Task, Bulk Insert Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "You do not have permission to use the bulk load statement.". Task failed: Bulk Insert Task SSIS package "Package.dtsx" finished: Success.
I have been granted ownership of the database. I also tried in one of my old databases that I just finished developing and I got the same msg.
The file I am importing is comma delimited. I am importing it into a table that has 50 bytes allocation for each field (the max input field size is 40 bytes).
The connection is solid; Format = “Specify� RowDelimiter = {CR}{LF} columnDelimiter = Comma {,}
No other options are set.
The data looks like: "tstLName","tstFname","000 N Tst DR","IDAHO sp","ID","00000000",
hi im using the import export wizard to import a file where my recoreds are comma delimited but when i HAVE to use a comma im using quotes to escape
"CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=aboneng,DC=local",user,Administrator,Built-in account for administering the computer/domain,"CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=aboneng,DC=local",4,20050421014154.0Z,20060518065932.0Z,
with this example
CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=aboneng,DC=local === should be the first column user, ==== the second column Administrator === third and so forth.
i thought it was a standard to use quotes when escaping your delimiter but sql is bringing in the records as comma delimited as normal is there anyway around this?
Hi. Im new to SQL and I need to export a SQL table as a comma delimited text file which is straight forward. However two of the fields are integers and I need these to be right justified with zero's. In Access I would use something like format(columnname, "00000000") to get it to work, but SQL Server doesn't like this. How can I do this?
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
Hi, I want to export data/records coming from the database and save it as a .txt file but tab-delimited. The flow of my project is something this.
Web Form->SQL Database->Web Report->Tab-Delimited file.
I will explain more..What we want to do is an online application form. We have a form and will save all the data to sql server database. We also want to save all those information in a tab-delimited file. I would like to save this first in the database(no problem in this part). Then later on export this in tab-delimited file.
If you can give me a little bit tutorial of this i really appreciated..Even 3 records can do as long i can see how to do this..Ooops btw, i also want to name the .txt file as (userid+transactionid).

PROCEDURE ListFilteredEvents @FilterList varchar(200) -- contains ‘3,5’ AS SELECT EventID FROM Events WHERE (any value in Categories) IN @FilterList
Result:
EventID ---------- 2
How can I select all records where any value in the Categories column matches a value in @FilterList. In this example, record 2 would be selected since it belongs to category 3, which is also in @FilterList.
I’ve looked at the table of numbers approach, which works when selecting records where a column value is in the parameter list, but I can’t see how to make this work when the column itself also contains a comma delimited list.
I've got a query that returns the data I need. I want to put the query in a stored procedure such that, when the SP runs I get a pipe delimited text file on disk. I don't really want to mess with SSIS, etc. Is there a Q&D way to do this?
Good evening! I have a problem. I have a namelist coming from a distribution list of an active directory. When I converted it to csv file, the members reside in just one column and separated by a comma. I want the names to be separated in a row one by one. I tried it on excel and I used the transpose column but to no avail. My last resort is to import it on sql but the names on the column was cut and not complete. Do you have any idea how to do this. Your help is highly appreciated.
Would like to have a view created to display the result at the bottom of this message. We will be using Dreamweaver to display the information from this view. Also, for the record, we are using sql 2000. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

But I would like to Transform this table into something like the one below (where if 'Y' before 1st comma then Q1, if 'Y' Before 2nd comma then Q2 and so on
I need to import comma delimited text files into sql tables. in one of the column, there is a comma in the string itself. e.g.
Cust_ID Name Phone Address1 Address2
Date that I have:
001,juia, anderson,4694568855,,Cedar Spring
The data does not have double quote as text qualifiers. but as you see, on the Name column, there is a comma, which is not a delimiter. can anybody give any suggestions on how i can deal with that? i would appreciate it so much.
Is this possible? I find it hard to believe that this could be sooo difficult. I have a simple select stored procedure that has one parameter. My application is passing a comma delimited string of values to be used in the IN clause. Ex: Where x In(@parametername) the x column is an integer. How can one work around this??? Thanks!
I have a complex query where each row in the final dataset is a product. However each product has a number of authors associated with it. What I would like to do is have a query/subroutine join the authors to the product, as a string:
ProductID Title Authors 1 The Sacred and the Profane John Rieggle, George Alexi 2 Dancing in the Dark Dan Brown, Peter Kay, Paul Dwebinski
I am trying to build a dynamic where statement for my sql stored prcoedure if len(@Office) > 0 select @strWhereClause = N'cvEh.chOfficeId in (select id from dbo.csfParseDeLimitedText( ' + @vchOffice + ',' + ''',''' + '))' + ' and ' + @strWhereClause In this case users can enter comma delimited string in their search criteria. So if they enter we1, we2, we3 then my sql statement should look like select @strWhereClause = cvEh.chOfficeId in (select id from dbo.csfParseDeLimitedText('we1', 'we2', 'we3'),',') My csfParseDeLimitedText function looks like this Create FUNCTION [dbo].[csfParseDeLimitedText] (@p_text varchar(4000), @p_Delimeter char(1))RETURNS @results TABLE (id varchar(100))ASBEGIN declare @i1 varchar(200)declare @i2 varchar(200)declare @tempResults Table (id varchar(100))while len(@p_text) > 0 and charindex(@p_Delimeter, @p_text) <> 0beginselect @i1 = left(@p_text, charindex(@p_Delimeter, @p_text) - 1)insert @tempResults select @i1select @p_text = right(@p_text, len(@p_text) - charindex(@p_Delimeter,@p_text))endinsert @tempResults select @p_text insert @resultsselect *from @tempResultsreturnEND
My problem is it does not put quotes around the comma delimited stringso I want to put 'we1' , 'we2'. These single quotes are not coming in the dynamic sql statement. How can I modify my query so that single quotes around each entry should show up. Any help will be greatky appreciated. Thanks
I have a row in a SQL table that has 4 numerical values, separated by comma. I'd like to take this and make it 4 separate columns. Values are not always the same length, but are always delimited by commas.
I posted this originally in the incorrect forum I believe so I am reposting this in here which I believe is the proper place.
I need to move essentially a flat file from one server to another one and export it into a database on the second server. Does anyone have an easy process to accomplish this? I am currently at a loss. Any advice would be much appreciated.
