Bcp Unicode Files Using Format Files
Jul 20, 2005
I have a problem with bcp and format files.
We changed our databases from varchar to nvarchar to support unicode. No
problems so fare with that. It is working fine.
But now I need a format file for the customer table and and it is not
working. It is working fine with the old DB with varchar, but with
nvarchar I'm not able to copy the data. The biggest problem is, that I
got no error message. BCP starts copying to table and finished without
error message.
This is my table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Customer] (
[ID] [int] NOT NULL ,
[CreationTime] [datetime] NULL ,
[ModificationTime] [datetime] NULL ,
[DiscoveryTime] [datetime] NULL ,
[Name_] [nvarchar] (255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI NULL ,
[Class] [int] NULL ,
[Subclass] [int] NULL ,
[Capabilities] [int] NULL ,
[SnapshotID] [int] NOT NULL ,
[CompanyName] [nvarchar] (255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI NOT
NULL ,
[TargetRCCountry] [nvarchar] (255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI
NOT NULL ,
[LocationID] [int] NULL ,
[MirrorID] [binary] (16) NULL ,
[DeleteFlag] [bit] NULL ,
[AdminStatus] [bit] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
and this is the format file:
8.0
13
1 SQLINT 1 12 "#~@~#" 1 ID ""
2 SQLDATETIME 1 24 "#~@~#" 2 CreationTime ""
3 SQLDATETIME 1 24 "#~@~#" 3 ModificationTime ""
4 SQLDATETIME 1 24 "#~@~#" 4 DiscoveryTime ""
5 SQLNCHAR 2 510 "#~@~#" 5 Name_
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
6 SQLINT 1 12 "#~@~#" 6 Class ""
7 SQLINT 1 12 "#~@~#" 7 Subclass ""
8 SQLINT 1 12 "#~@~#" 8 Capabilities ""
9 SQLINT 1 12 "#~@~#" 9 SnapshotID ""
10 SQLNCHAR 2 510 "#~@~#" 10 CompanyName
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
11 SQLNCHAR 2 510 "#~@~#" 11 TargetRCCountry
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
12 SQLINT 1 12 "#~@~#" 12 LocationID ""
13 SQLBINARY 1 33 "#~@~#
"13 MirrorID ""
"#~@~#" is the field terminator. We have a lot of text files with all
kind of charachers in it. So we think this is a set that will never
occur in our files.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
I have a set of csv files and a set of Format Specification files for each of the csv files. I need to convert the csv files into another format of csv files as specified in the Format Specification files. All the columns of the input csv files do not have a mapping with the columns of the output csv files. How can I achieve this using SSIS ? This is an urgent requirement. Please reply asap. Thanks.

I am using bcp to execute a query and would like to use the -f option for format_file so I am going thourgh the books on line and trying to make some sense out of it,no quite clear on it at the moment.
How do I find out the version of bcp utility and would somebody have an example with this options just to see how it works.

Hi
I need to make changes to a bcp format file, but don't understand the thing.
Format file =
6.0
10
1 SQLCHAR 0 3 "" 1 Col1
2 SQLCHAR 0 9 "" 2 Col2
3 SQLCHAR 0 1 "" 3 Col3
4 SQLCHAR 0 1 "" 4 Col4
5 SQLCHAR 0 1 "" 5 Col5
6 SQLCHAR 0 1 "" 6 Col6
7 SQLCHAR 0 136 "" 7 Col7
8 SQLCHAR 0 50 "" 8 Col8
9 SQLCHAR 0 50 "" 9 Col9
10 SQLCHAR 0 50 "" 10 Col10
Example of the data extract file to be imported (.txt) =
AB 1 01A Surname1 Mr NameOne MiddleNameOne AddressLineOne Testing 1 AddressLineTwo Testing 2 AddressLineThree Testing 3
CD 1016 01A Surname901 Ms NameNineHundredAndOne MiddleNameNineHundredAndOne AddressLineOne Line 2 Testing 4 AddressLineTwo Line 2 Testing 5 AddressLineThree Line 2 Testing 6
I understand the first 6. Col1 has a lenght of 3, col2 has a length of 9 and so on.
When I get to field order 7 (col7), I get stuck. Field order 7 should be the Surname, title, name and middlename of the customer. But the host file data length is 136.
From what I understand that would mean that it would included the first part of the AddressLineOne as well isn't it? The thing is that it is working currently (not reading the address)
I'm obviously not understanding how this works.
Can anyone help with this?

i have a weird situation here, i tried to load a unicode file with a flat file source component, one of file lines has data like any other line but also contains the character "ÿ" which i can't see or find it and replace it with empty string, the source component parses the line correctly but if there is a data type error in this line, the error output for that line gives me this character "ÿ" instead of the original line.
simply, the error output of flat file source component fail to get the original line when the line contains hidden "ÿ".
i hope you can help me with issue.
Thanks in advance.

This script generates a format file for every table in a database.
It's set up for fixed width files, not too common in this world...but they can easily be modified.
Also the do not at this time handle text or image columns.
Any hints/advice here would be great.
I'll post it when I figure it out.
happy bcping..

I used bcp to produce the apended format file.How can it be modified to recognize the quotes that surround the textfields and not insert the quotes along with the text? Invariably, thefirst four columns have text surrounded by quotes and are terminated bytabs. If the first column has "abc", only abc ought to be insertedinto that field in the table.ThanksTed==================format file========================<?xml version="1.0" ?>- <BCPFORMATxmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2004/bulkload/format"xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">- <RECORD><FIELD ID="1" xsi:type="CharPrefix" PREFIX_LENGTH="2" MAX_LENGTH="6"COLLATION="Latin1_General_CI_AI" /><FIELD ID="2" xsi:type="CharPrefix" PREFIX_LENGTH="2" MAX_LENGTH="7"COLLATION="Latin1_General_CI_AI" /><FIELD ID="3" xsi:type="CharPrefix" PREFIX_LENGTH="2" MAX_LENGTH="48"COLLATION="Latin1_General_CI_AI" /><FIELD ID="4" xsi:type="NativeFixed" LENGTH="4" /><FIELD ID="5" xsi:type="CharPrefix" PREFIX_LENGTH="2" MAX_LENGTH="8"COLLATION="Latin1_General_CI_AI" /><FIELD ID="6" xsi:type="NativePrefix" PREFIX_LENGTH="1" /></RECORD>- <ROW><COLUMN SOURCE="1" NAME="f_supplier_code" xsi:type="SQLVARYCHAR" /><COLUMN SOURCE="2" NAME="f_product_code" xsi:type="SQLVARYCHAR" /><COLUMN SOURCE="3" NAME="f_product_name" xsi:type="SQLVARYCHAR" /><COLUMN SOURCE="4" NAME="f_asset_classes_id" xsi:type="SQLINT" /><COLUMN SOURCE="5" NAME="f_size" xsi:type="SQLVARYCHAR" /><COLUMN SOURCE="6" NAME="f_dist_unit" xsi:type="SQLFLT8" /></ROW></BCPFORMAT>

Hi all,
I have created a package which import data from excel file and do some technical & business validation on the data. My package has about 20 control flow items. Now I'm asked to handle a second (and probably more in the future) excel file format (columns name are different, some fields are murged in one single column...).
I definitely don't want to create a different package for each excel file format. But I can't find a way in the control flow to execute a particular DataFlow in one case and another DataFlow in other cases. Typically I would like to evaluate an expression an depending on the result execute a DataFlow or another one. Even in a given DataFlow I cant find a way to have a condition and process different Excel Source depending on an expression result. Or it would be good if I could say to my Excel Source to discover the columns name and types at runtime and let me manage the columns manually in the data flow. Is that possible ? I know SSIS manage metadata on the columns based on the data source is there any way to manage the metadata manually ? I coulnd't find anything about that in BOL.
I guess an easy workaround is to have a different package just to import the different excel files in a common staging table and each package calls a single package which contains all technical & business validation.
Any help will be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Sébastien.

Hello,
I need to create about 1,000 (literately) Excel files that each contain 5 tabs. The data being placed on the tabs will always be the same (meaning the columns are static).
I am fairly advanced at Excel VBA so I can write code that does all the following in Excel (looped 1,000 times):
Open an Excel template
Bring data in from the tables
Filter, then copy-paste the appropriate rows into each tab.
Save the new Excel file.
Email the file to appropriate individual (it is a Microsoft Exchange Server).
As I started this in VBA, I thought that I might be able to do it with SSIS. My concern is I need to have the rows formatted (font, border, etc.) and the number of rows change.
My questions are:
Is it possible to format Excel with SSIS?
Can I email the files even if it is not with an SMTP protocol?
Would SSIS process this data faster then Excel?
Does this approach even make sense? Am I better just doing it with VBA?
Thank you for the help.

I proposed on a new server that we separate Data Files, Log Files, tempDB, Backups, etc. onto separate LUNS on a SAN with High Speed Solid State Drives.I was told that with the new technology with solid state SAN's that it would decrease performance and that it did not work the same way as it did when you had RAID 5's etc.I thought that if things were cared out correctly by a SAN Administrator they would know how to configure for optimal performance.

In the first step of my SSIS package I need to get files from FTP and dump it/them in a local directory, but it's more than that, the logic is like this:
1. If no file(s) found, stop executing and send email saying no file(s) found;
2. If file(s) found, then compare it/them with existing files in our archive folder; if file(s) already exist in archive folder, stop executing and send email saying file(s) already existed, if file(s) not in archive folder yet, then transfer it/them to the local directory for processing.
I know i have to use a script task to do this and i did some research and found examples for each of the above 2 steps and not both combined, so that's why I need some help here to get the logic incorporated right.
Thanks for the help in advance and i apologize for the long lines of code!

PushD "

It works remotely if I run it via command prompt. But when I add this to a TSQL job on my remote SQL instance, it runs without deleting anything. What I'm missing?

Hello,
Here's my need :
In one directory there's several excels file. Theses file have the same structure :
col : LOOKID, LOOKNAME, ASMPID, ASMPNAME, LOOKTYPE, LTYP_NAME, PAR_TYPE, PTYP_NAME, PARAMETER, VALUE.
The problem is that the cell format of the PARAMETER col. is different bewteen excel files. It could be date, numeric, ... The col destination in sqlservr database is Varchar(10).
I've created the ssis package with a ForEach Loop, and in the ForEach loop I've created a Data Flow Task.
In the data Flow Task I've created an excell source file (using excel file with col PARAMETER in date format) with an OLE DB destination.
When I launch the package on the same excel file as the one using to create Excel Source object it's OK, no errors, and data in the sql table are OK.
But when I launch the package on Excel file with col. PARAMETER in numeric format, there's no execution errors, but in the destination table the value of the PARAMETER col. is transform in date format.
I tried to change in Excel source object the datatype of the input PARAMETER col, but I've got some compilations errors. It seems that SSIS recognize automaticaly excel source data type col. But may be I did something wrong in the excel source settings ?
Is there a way to force the excel source datatype with varchar(10) ?
I've also tried to do the treatment with an script task but my vb.net knowledge isn't enought to do that.
If you have some suggestions, I'm listening.
Thanks

Hi All,
How to create a text file in UNIX format using Flat File connection manager. By default when we create a connection manager for flat files it is taking "CRLF" as the delimeter.
I beleive the format of the file will be decided based on the control line feed character at the end of each row. There are different control line feeds for different operating systems.
CR - Mac OS (Carraige return)
LF - UNIX (Line Feed)
CRLF - Windows. (Carriage return Line Feed)
Correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks in advance.

I am thinking about replacing the INSERT data scriptfiles that I have with XML files. This way I can open the XMLfile using an XML Editor and see the values in a GRID andmake changes easier.Do you see any problem with this approach?I managed to put together some code that is exportinga SQL table with its data to an XML file and also a codethat reads the XML file's data and inserts it into a table.Now I am researching on XSD, td:datatype, DTD...(I am new to XML) in order to figure out how I canuse a single xml file that will hold both the sql serverfields, the datatypes and their values.If you have links to some sample code that has anythingto do with the datatype export and import I am workingon, can you please share them with me?Most importantly what do you think about the idea of usingXML files vs sql scripts?Thank you

Hi gurus,
I've created a linked server (and set up the corresponding schema.ini file) in order to perform bulk-inserts from some CSV text files into SQL tables (from my standpoint the text files are just for reading purposes). The linked server works fine (I can select the data in the files without a problem).
Now the question: is possible to automatically detect when one or more of those files change in order to start the import process automatically? Something like having a trigger created on the CSV files Or there's no easy way to do that so I have, to say something, to create a Job that periodically checks if the files have changed programatically (say, recording each file's timestamp everytime is imported and comparing the recorded value with the current one, or whatever)?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello everyone:
I created a package in IS. My source file is an excel file and my destination file is a sql server 2000 table. when i ran the package the following error was displayed:

My sql table is non-unicode. I modified my text field to be unicode and it ran. I have many tables and do not wish to modify them manually. Is there a way around this problem??

Hello,
I might have a rather strange question but I was wondering if there is a way/tool that can be used to convert/import Word documents (.doc) into Reporting Services report files (.rdl). The problem is that I have lots of Word documents containing e.g. survey question. The reports are very extensive with many pages and many "graphical" objects e.g. rectangles etc.. Now I want to have all these reports imported into Reporting Services, i.e. I want the .doc-files to be converted to .rdl-files. I do not want to use e.g. OfficeWriter but I want the .doc-files to be migrated to the rdl-format. Is that possible, is there a tool for this? Both file formats are Microsoft formats, so there should be a conversation tool right?
