SSIS Import Wizard Does Not Recognize The Excel Format

Sep 6, 2007

I have an Excel file(.xls) that I need to import to SQL Server database. I am trying to use the Import wizard. However, when I select the file and click next I get the warning "External table is not in the expected format.(Microsoft JET Database Engine)" . I opened the .xls file using a text editor. It looks like some html document.


<html xmlns="urnchemas-microsoft-comfficeffice"
xmlns:x="urnchemas-microsoft-comffice:excel"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">

<head>.................

I also used OPENQUERY to see if it works.


SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',

'Excel 12.0 xml;HDR=Yes;Database=C:myexcelfile.xls', 'SELECT * FROM [Table1$]');


SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',

'Excel 8.0;Database=C:datamyexcelfile.xls', 'SELECT * FROM [Table1$]')

I get the following errors.

OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "External table is not in the expected format.".

Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)".

Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.

Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)".

When I open the file and save it to overwrite the existing .xls file it works fine.

Is there a way to import such files using SSIS without having to open and save it?

Thanks in advance!

SSIS Import/Export Wizard To Excel Issue

Jul 7, 2006

Its my first time trying to set up a SSIS job using the import/export wizard to export the results of a query into an excel file.

i am using sql server 2005, windows XP SP2.

In the last step in the excel destination editor, in the connection manager when i am trying to select the excel file to write into i am getting this error.

'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 ' provider is not registered on the local machine.

I have set up the excel connection manager. i have changed the properties of the project to set

the Run64BitRuntime to false.

please let me know if there is anything else i need to do to fix this.

SSIS Wizard Cannot Import Text Columns Longer Then 255 Using Excel Source

Nov 29, 2006

(Applies to SQLServer 2005 SP1)

We have found that using the SSIS "Import and Export Wizard" using the "Microsoft Excel" data source that there appears to be a maximum column length of 255 characters for any row.

Even when defining the destination table columns as nvarchar(4000), the wizard fails with the errors shown below.

We have found no workaround except manually changing the imput data. There doesn't appear to be any "Advanced" options for the Excel importer as there are for the flat-text importer. So, no question here, just posting the bug so that *next* time someone searches the web for an answer, this post comes up

MessagesError 0xc020901c: Data Flow Task: There was an error with output column "English String" (18) on output "Excel Source Output" (9). The column status returned was: "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard) Error 0xc020902a: Data Flow Task: The "output column "English String" (18)" failed because truncation occurred, and the truncation row disposition on "output column "English String" (18)" specifies failure on truncation. A truncation error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard) Error 0xc0047038: Data Flow Task: The PrimeOutput method on component "Source - Sheet1$" (1) returned error code 0xC020902A. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard) Error 0xc0047021: Data Flow Task: Thread "SourceThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0047038. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard) Error 0xc0047039: Data Flow Task: Thread "WorkThread0" received a shutdown signal and is terminating. The user requested a shutdown, or an error in another thread is causing the pipeline to shutdown. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard) Error 0xc0047021: Data Flow Task: Thread "WorkThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0047039. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)


edit: After searching further this is documented under "Excel Source"
in BOL which provides a registry-based workaround.  I guess the issue
is that the wizard considers truncation to be  a 'fail' case and
there's no easy way to override this behaviour, specify the column
types nor determine which line is in error)



Truncated text. When the driver determines that an Excel column contains
text data, the driver selects the data type (string or memo) based on the
longest value that it samples. If the driver does not discover any values longer
than 255 characters in the rows that it samples, it treats the column as a
255-character string column instead of a memo column. Therefore, values longer
than 255 characters may be truncated. To import data from a memo column without
truncation, you must make sure that the memo column in at least one of the
sampled rows contains a value longer than 255 characters, or you must increase
the number of rows sampled by the driver to include such a row. You can increase
the number of rows sampled by increasing the value of TypeGuessRows under
the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftJet4.0EnginesExcel registry
key.

SSIS Import With Excel Format Fails!

Dec 27, 2007

Hello,
I have the following scenario, and my main question is why Excel Formatted file errors out while TXT formatted file does not? Any workaround would be helpful, but I do want to avoid dtexec, and still want to manage it as SSIS.

MAIN ISSUES - permission issue & excel connection issue

SSIS Package Run Directly (not SQL Job, not automated)
* Every format and and folder location works!

Package Run under SQL JOB
TXT Format
A. Project Folder - GOOD
B. Client Folder - FAILS!
Conclusion - TXT Format works, but Client Folder does not have sufficient permission for PRODsvcSQLDMS


EXCEL Format
A. Project Folder - FAILS!
B. Client Folder - FAILS!
Conclusion - EXCEL Format DOES NOT work. Maybe SSIS Excel Connection Bug.

SQL Build 9.00.2153.00

SSIS Import Of CSV Don't Recognize NULL Values For VARCHAR Fields

Sep 4, 2007

Hi, i'm new to SSIS and trying to import some csv files (comma delimited) into SQL Server. A NULL value for a CHAR column is correctly regonized as NULl in SQL Server, but a NULL value for of a mapping to a VARCHAR column in SQL Server is not recognized correctly and i get the value "'NULL'" in SQL Server (including the single comma.

Sample:

CSV file contains columns A and B. A and B contains the Text NULL.
Column A is mapped to a CHAR field, and column B is mapped to a VARCHAR field in SQL Server.
After the import, SQL has the following value: A = NULL as NULL, B 'NULL' as text.

did anyone else had this problem?

thanks so much for any help.

SSiS Vs Import Wizard: What's Wrong?!?!?

Sep 28, 2007



Hello everybody,

I'd like to import a big table (about 13 millions rows) from oracle to sql server 2005.

2 ways are possible: SiSS and Import Wizard.

I'd prefere to use SSiS, but I'm unable to pass data from oracle because, for some strange reason, debugging the package it hangs on the origin block (painting it red) altought another identical package wit another table works perfectly (and that's another strange question...). Also, SiSS forces me to create a convert block to cast from unicode to ansi


Using Import Wizard in sql2005 instead, the package works perfectly and, importing it in SiSS, it also don't contains the convert block...


what's the reason of all that?

thanks in advance

SSIS Inport Wizard Does Not Import Dates...is This A Bug?

Feb 2, 2006



I have an Excel file with 52000 records. One of the columns is a date column d-mmm-yy. This column is NULL-able. Approximately 12,000 records have a value on this column.

I started the wizard, and it happens to be that the first record containing a date on this column is record 11,012. However, the wizar imports NONE of the values, and the column shows NULL in all records.

Now, if I sort first the data in the Excel spreadsheet so that some records with this date show up at the top then the records are exported correctly.

In my opinion, this is a bug that will stop me to use for using at my department.

Please let me know your opinion on this, and what fix is available for it.

SSIS Import Wizard Options Missing

Feb 12, 2008



Hello all.

I am trying to import a flat file using the Wizard. That option does not show up. It shows up fine on my other machine. I installed 2005 Standard edition and they are still missing. I then uninstalled everything, rebooted and reinstalled Standard edition.

The flat file option is still missing. Any thoughts?

Running An SSIS Package After Using Import/Export Wizard

Dec 17, 2007

Hello All,

I am a newbe at MS SQL 2005, so if this has already been answered elsewhere, please just point me in the right direction.

I have successfully used the Import/Export wizard in "execute immediate" mode to import a table from Oracle 10g to MS SQL 2005. Works like a charm, but when I take the saved pacakge (saved as a *.dtsx server side file) - with no changes to the package and execute it from the either the "dos" prompt or from Windows explorer it fails at the login to Oracle step. Yet when I check the package's "Connection Managers" source connection, all the settings, user-ids and passwords look fine. The package does indeed execute, but I receive an ORA-01017:invalid username/password within the trace file of the package, but nothing has been changed from the Import/Export wizard which ran beatifully, thus verifying the appropriate acccess rights to Oracle.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

SSIS Import And Export Wizard Data Sources

Dec 30, 2005

I'm just beginning to use SSIS (bracing for a steep learning curve due to lack of helpful documentation) and am starting out trying use the Import and Export Wizard.  On the "Choose a Data Source" page there is a dropdown for the Data Source.  I see a list of possible data providers, but not one of "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC drivers," which is the one I wanted to use because I'm trying to connect to an obscure database.  So I figured that I need to use ".Net Framework Data Provider for Odbc."  Unfortunately, regardless of what I enter for the Connection string or the Dsn or the Driver I invariably get an error, although it's somewhat dependent on that I have entered for those three items.

Either this (when I type in a DSN)

Cannot get the supported data types from the database connection "Dsn=Terrascan_Okanogan_WA".

or this (if I enter a full connection string and a driver)

The operation could not be completed.

------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

of this (if I enter a DSN and a driver)

Cannot get the supported data types from the database connection "Dsn=Terrascan_Okanogan_WA;Driver={SmartWare Driver}".

------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Specified cast is not valid. (System.Data)

 

So I have a couple questions.  First, why doesn't "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC drivers" appear in the list of data sources, and secondly, when using the ".Net Framework Data Provider for Odbc" data source what inputs are expected because whatever I'm doing doesn't seem to work?

SSIS Import And Export Wizard Source Type -1 Instead Of Time

Feb 13, 2015

Running SQL 2008. Trying to copy data from one table into another table using SSIS Import/Export Wizard. Now, when I do a straight "Copy data from one or more tables or views", no problems. But when I use the "Write a query to specify the data to transfer", it will not let me get anywhere.

My source table has a field that is setup as "time". It has data, and no problems with the field. I even replicated my destination table structure exactly. But when I try to use the Import & Export wizard, for that one field I get an error stating the source field is unknown and it is labeled as "-1" instead of "time".

I found a couple of of workarounds. One is to cast the source field "time" as "datetime", and then end up with a "datetime2" field in the destination table. Works, but not what I want to store in that field. Second workaround is to use TSQL and use a "INSERT INTO...SELECT...FROM..WHERE.." statement. This works, and gives me the desired results with all data types being same in source and destination, but is a slight pain in the rear end.

I just want the Import & Export wizard to work. It should work. Why doesn't it know what "time" is? I even checked the MSSQLToSSIS10.XML mapping file the wizard is using. This is what it has for "time":

<dtm:DataTypeMapping >
<dtm:SourceDataType>
<dtm:DataTypeName>time</dtm:DataTypeName>
</dtm:SourceDataType>
<dtm:DestinationDataType>

Understanding Code Created By SSIS Import/export Wizard

Feb 23, 2006

I built a packaage in SSIS with the import/export utility. It created a Package.dtsx and Package1.dtsx. Both of these files seem to be XML files. I want to understand how these files work. For example, in the package I built I had about 80 tables exporting and importing data. Some of them I want to allow the identiy insert and delete the rows first. Others I want to append the data. How can I find the code or settings that does this? Or where can I find the options on the gui interface to change these settings. When I search the code I can't even find a some of the tables that are being transferred.

Importing DBase Files With The SSIS Import/Export Wizard

May 5, 2006

I saw this post by dterrie in the Wishlist thread and I just wanted to second it:

"How about bringing back a simple dBase import. The SSIS guys are clearly FAR out of touch with reality if they think people who handle data no longer need to work with dbf files. I've seen alot of dumb stuff in my day, bit this is just sheer brilliance. I just love the advice of first importing into Access and then importing the Access table. Gee, why didn't I think of such a convenient solution. I could have had a V-8."


I've been struggling with this the last couple days and finally decided to import the dBase III file into Access and then import that into SQL Server 2005. Imagine my surprise when I discovered this was the current recommended method.

That's just ridiculous. Can someone tell me why they would reduce some of the functionality of SQL Server from 2000 to 2005? This was a very easy process in SQL Server 2000...

Bizarre Date Format Behaviour With Excel Import

Oct 31, 2007

Hi

I have an excel file with 2 rows that I am importing into a staging table. The format on the excel sheet is a custom one which is DD-MMM-YY so in the actual cell the data appears as 01-NOV-07 and 30-OCT-07. The format of the data in the input window above the spreadsheet is 01/11/2007 and 30/10/2007.

The format in the Excel source of the data flow task is Unicode String [DT_WSTR] length 255. I then have a data conversion step that changes this to a string [DT_STR] length 255 as the staging table is non unicode. I then have a derived column function that simply does a ISNULL replace on NULL values to blank. Finally there is an OLE DB destination which is the staging table.

This is where the problem occurs. If I breakpoint the package here and look at the staging table the dates now read as 11/1/2007 and 10/30/2007. The data type in the staging table is varchar 255. I am not doing any other transformations or T-SQL stuff on the data - it is being flipped to MM/DD/YYYY during the import.

By the way I am english hence I need the english variation on the date. I know i could put some T-SQL in to flip it around to english again but wondered why it was happening like this

thanks in advance

SQL Server Compact Edition Sdf As Data Source In SSIS Import And Export Wizard - Error

Jul 31, 2007



Should I be able to use a SQL Server Compact Edition sdf file as the data source for the SSIS Import and Export Wizard?

When I select the .net Framework Provider for compact Edition from the data source drop down, I get a message box with "An error occured which the SSIS Wizard was not prepared to handle. Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. (mscorlib) Specified method is not supported. (System.Data.SqlServerCe)"

We have a user with a sdf file that will no longer sync, so we wanted to get her data from sdf file tables into SQL Server tables quickly and easily. Since the SSIS wizard wouldn't work with the sdf data source, we copied SQL Server Mgmt Studio query results into an Excel spreadsheet via the Clipboard, them imported those records with SSIS. But we need a repeatable process in case this happens in the future.

We tried to reinitialize her merge replication subscription with SQL Server Mgmt studio, and with C# code, but none of that would work.

How many MS data provider options are available for SQL Server compact edition? I see ".Net Framework Data Provider for Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition" in the SSIS data source drop down, but shouldn't I also see an OLE-DB Provider for SQL Server Compact Edition?

This is all on my XP workstation where I can successfully write C# code for SQL Server Compact data access with Assembly = System.Data.SqlServerCe = C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEPublicAssembliesSystem.Data.SqlServerCe.dll. So I think I have the proper tools installed.

Thanks.

Ignore First 6 Rows In Excel Import In SSIS Pkg.

Jul 3, 2007

I have an SSIS package that imports from an Excel file with data beginning in the 7th row.

Unlike the same operation with a csv file ('Header Rows to Skip' in Connection Manager Editor), I can't seem to find a way to ignore the first 6 rows of an Excel file connection.

I'm guessing the answer might be in one of the Data Flow Transformation objects, but I'm not very familiar with them.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Using SSIS To Perform A Data Import Of An Excel Spreadsheet

Oct 15, 2007

I am new to SSIS. 
I am interested in using SSIS to import an excel spreadsheet into a SQL server database. My biggest concern is how to handle/manage errors that might occur when the import process occurs. Can anyone give me any guidance on this?
 I could write some C# code to do the import and to create a custom .txt file listing errors that occur on import. Using C# code to do the import seems like I would just be reinvinting the wheel so to speak.

Excel File Stays In Use After I Import It Using A SSIS Package

Dec 28, 2006

Hello everybody...
I have a very simple SSIS package that loop throught the worksheets of an Excel file and insert the data into a SQL server 2005 table.

The SSIS is very simple and works fine the problem is that after the Package executes if I double click on the Excel file imported I have the message that the file is in use.

I think that the Excel connection manager of the package doesn't release the Excel resourse but this is only a guess..

Do am I right? If yes how can I release the resource?

Thank you very much

Marina!

Feb 25, 2008

A view named "Viw_Labour_Cost_By_Service_Order_No" has been created and can be run successfully on the server.
I want to import the data which draws from the view to a table using SQL Server Import and Export Wizard.
However, when I run the wizard on the server, it gives me the following error message and stop on the step Setting Source Connection


Operation stopped...

- Initializing Data Flow Task (Success)

- Initializing Connections (Success)

- Setting SQL Command (Success)
- Setting Source Connection (Error)

There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.

- Pre-execute (Stopped)

- Executing (Stopped)

Does anyone encounter this problem before and know what is happening?

Thanks for kindly reply.

Error Trying To Import MS Access 2003 Database Via SQL Server Import And Export Wizard - Too Many Sessions Already Active

Nov 29, 2006

I am trying to simplify a query given to me by one of my collegues written using the query designer of Access. Looking at the query there seem to be some syntax differences, so to see if this was the case I thought I would import the database to my SQL Server Developer edition.

I tried to start the wizard from within SQL Server Management Studio Express as shown in one of the articles on MSDN which did not work, but the manual method also suggested did work.

Trouble is that it gets most of the way through the import until it spews forth the following error messages:

- Prepare for Execute (Error)
Messages
Error 0xc0202009: {332B4EB1-AF51-4FFF-A3C9-3AEE594FCB11}: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft JET Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Could not start session. Too many sessions already active.".
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)

Error 0xc020801c: Data Flow Task: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "SourceConnectionOLEDB" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)

Error 0xc004701a: Data Flow Task: component "Source 33 - ATable" (2065) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020801C.
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard).

There does not seem to be any method of specifying a number of sessions, so I don't see how to get round the problem.

Does anyone know how I can get the import to work?
