Hi, I wish to export a MS SQL table into a text file. I know that I can do this under the DTS wizard but I need the syntax so as to run in on my script. Can anyone help? Thanks!
I have an existing table I need to add data to. The data is in a text file, and the existing table already has data in it (I don't want to delete this I want to add to it).
I used Microsoft's import utility but this created a seperate table with generic fieldnames (column01, column02, ect). Is there a step in this wizard I missed?
I have a request from the customer to export a report to Word as a read-only document. I am restricted to out-of-the-box SSRS 2008, so I cannot write any custom export functionality.
The customer has the ability to export as PDF, and I suggested that, but before I tell them there's no easy solution, I wanted to get input from other Reporting Services folks.
In an effort to automate a process, I am trying to populate a csv textfile with data from a SQL Server 2000 database that will be imported by a proprietary database; however, not all of the data required to go into the textfile is available in the source db. Fortunately, the data I'm needing has constant values for the fields that I want to populate, i.e Lab Name. Whereas, the Destination database will receive data from other labs but not via this source. Is it possible to use a constant rather than a db field within the SQL query to populate one of the textfile fields. (I placed "LABNAME" in where I would like it to go) A portion of my present SQL statement is: Select LEFT([SAMPNAME], 4) AS IUNUM, RIGHT(LEFT([SAMPNAME], 8), 3) AS SITENUM, convert(varchar,[SAMPDATE], 112) as SAMPDATE, [BDL] AS "SAMPNUM", [ANALYTE], (CASE [STARTDATE]-[SAMPDATE] WHEN 0 THEN '2' ELSE '1' END) AS METHOD, convert(varchar,[STARTDATE], 112) as STARTDATE, [FINAL], [BDL], "LABNAME", [NOTES1], [SAMPLER], [ORDNO], [UNITS] From [CUSTOMER] As you can see, I have already done a lot of formatting within the statement but would appreciate someone's SQL expertise to tell me if using a constant is possible or not. Thanks, Al
how do i do in ssis if i want to read the textfile row by row? i need to do this since every line in my flat file has different conditions to fulfill depending on the content of the row.
Hello, I'm having the following situation. To exchange data between software-programs we have to use textfiles. These files are like: "2100880000095500400600000329000 00000329000 WNOW0121102B 1121". I have to cut the textfiles into lines of 256 characters. Next thing i have to do is cutting that line in chunks (by a defined structure) and use these chunks to insert them into colums in SQL Server. Example, the line above will become something like: "INSERT INTO table (21, 008800000955, '004006', etc, etc) ". The code now is: i've opened a connection, and then I'm doing an INSERT per row, but when i have to insert 800.000 rows like this, it's a real bottleneck. Is there any way to perform the INSERTS quicker ?? By a bulk or something ?? Can anyone help me ??
I was wondering if there is a way to schedule a tast that will dump afixed width text file of all the new entries in a table. So if I hada table with likeusername - varchar(20)created - smalldatetimeI could get a weekly feed each week of all the new users in a textfile. I know I could write a script that would go through and do thisby looking at the time stamp, and the last time that the filepreviously ran and get the new dates but I was hoping there was abuilt way to do this. Or perhaps a more elegant solution.Thanks,Charlie
Any easy way for a batch file or automated process to read from one db and table and what ever entry is missing out of another database + table it writes those missing entries to.
This is a simple table in one db that is filled with usernames, I want to see if there are missing usernames in another db and table and write those entries.
db1.usr_table.usr_name = jdoenew If jdoenew is missing in the 2nd db I will need to write entries like: db1.usr_table.usr_name = jdoenew db1.usr_table.password = tmppassword db1.usr_table.active = 1
I ask for your help for problem of SQL Server 7 DTS . I got 6 text data files extracted from a SQL server database Sale1 in Company A. I also got a script produced from Sale1 and run it in my company to build a SQL server database A_Sale which structure is the same as Sale1. Then, I transferred these files into my database A_Sale. I have successfully transferred three files (vlet, vlrl, and vlcv), without any trouble. But I met trouble for transferring other three files (vlcl, vlco, and vlpo). For example, the error messages are as: "Error during Transformation 'DirectCopyXform' for Row number1. …Conversion invalid for datatype on column pair 12 (source column 'Col012'(DBTYPE_STR), destination column 'cl_dob' (DBTYPE_14))." "Error during Transformation 'DirectCopyXform' for Row number 10825. …Conversion invalid for datatype on column pair 17 (source column 'Col017'(DBTYPE_STR), destination column 'c0_stchdt" (DBTYPE_14))." - I don't understand why the datatype is not matched? The datatype is 'int' in both source column and destination column and the data for the source column is like 2533222. And, why the error caused for Row 1 for file vlcl and for Row 10825 for file vlco? How to correct the error? Other errors I met like: "Error at Source for Row number 24391. …Column Delimiter not found." - I don't know how to avoid the error at source? My partner in companyA also cannot control to avoid the error, since the file extracted by SQL server. "Error at Destination for Row number 531377. …Could not allocate space for object '(SYSTEM table id:-269896619)' in database 'TEMPDB' because the 'DEFAULT' filegroup is full." - Why the error caused for row 531377 and how to correct it?
DataBase i am using is Sql Server6.5. In a trigger i had written code to transfer updated records from one table to other table.These updated records needs to be written into a text file. I had used xp_cmdshell but it is taking time.Is there a way to write data to flat file.
i have bulk data that i dont want to have to enter manually. How can i achieve this for sql server. I want to be able to load from a text file (or any text format) with my data separated by delimeters. I know oracle has something that does this called sql loader.
I have a report that's created each day as a flat textfile.Because I came from the Access world, I created a macro that importsit with a schema that gives meaningful names to the various columns,and then uses a query to massage some of the data for me (deletes thefirst blank row and does a couple of calculations)Then I use DTS to import the Access query as a table.the textfile has a column called "File_num", and among several others,a column called "Serial_num". (the file numbers represent shipments,and sometimes there are more than one serial number in the shipment,etc., so there is a separate line for every serial number)Naturally, I would like to split this info into two tables..one thatdoes not contain the serial numbers and has a primary key on the"File_num" column, and another table that would contain just the"File_num" and "Serial_num" columns. That way I could relate themlater...but most importantly, it will give me a table where I can usethe "File_num" as my primary key.What would be the best way to import these two tables from one sourcetextfile? The other thing that gives me problems is that the textfile has no column names, and the first row is always blank.I'm very new to SQL and DTS and would appreciate any direction.Thanks,Larry- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -"Forget it, Jake.

On a 64bit Itanium cluster, I'm having a problem dynamically setting the ConnectionString of a TextFile Source using the "EvaluateAsExpression" = True and setting the ConnectionString using an expression from a variable. I get the error message:
-1073647612,0x,The result of the expression "@[User::vFullFilePath]" on property "ConnectionString" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property.
This is not a problem at all on a 32bit machine. I can run the same package on 32bit and it runs fine.
The funny thing is, I'm able to dynamically change the ConnectionString of a Logfile that we're writing all of the errors to, which I believe is using a TextFile Destination connection under the covers somehow (I'm using the SSIS Logging, to a textfile).
Can somebody please help me with the following problem.
I want to import data from a textfile called "Links.txt" into a SQL-server database called "LinkData". The data in this textfile is separated by pipelines. And this import should be done every 2 hours automatically. How can I make a proces or something in SQL server 7 that will fill the database with the data out of this textfile every 2 hours. Please help me. I really don't know.

And i have some services that will run during day time. So if anybody have solution to read the data from table...from sql server 2000 even if another transaction is running? Please Give any guideline..Help will be appriciated.
I was wondering how to make a table read-only. I want to make a script that creates a table, adds some data to it, then makes the table read-only to prevent someone from accidentally changing the values.
I need a SP to read table A (1000 records) and updates Table B. I think I have to use Cursor, but I'm not very good at writing SP. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi, we're trying to read from a table and write back to the same table and are having a lot of trouble with blocking. What could we do to prevent our application from hanging due to blocking of this type?
I need to read a db Table but sorted by index - is there a generic "select * from tableA sorted by index" where it just uses whatever index it finds (main index) or do i have to name the index?
Is it possible to make a table (or set of tables) within a SQL Server database read only (still granting the db_datawriter fixed database role to database users) without dropping and recreating the db_datawriter database role?
I work on an MS Access project ( *.apd - file) that is linked with a SQL-express server 2005 (local installed). On this server are 2 databases x and y. I linked some tables of database x to y and here's the problem: the linked tables are read-only. My authentication for the server is Windows authentication and I'm administrator. I say this because I think the problem is a security problem.
when I try to change data in the linked table in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express, I get now the follow error: --------------------------- No row was updated.
The data in row 12 was not committed Error source: .Net SqlClient Data provider. Error Message: Transaction context in use by another session.
Correct the errors an retry or press ESC to cancel the change(s). --------------------------------- All other programs are close, except MSE
thanks a lot!!!!!
Can somebody help me to make the linked tables are not read-only? What is the problem, what did I wrong?
I would like to store and read .doc file in a table of sql server using C#. Can some body help me on this? my id is padam76@gmail.com. Thanks & Regard,Padam Kumar Tripathi
I'm working on a package which loops through each xml file in a folder. The name of each xml file is put in variable. The format of the filename is something like "part1_part2_part3.xml" I need to store the 3 parts in three different columns of table A The content of the xml file needs to be manipulated ("." needs to be replaced with ",", ....)and put in serveral columns in tableB
It's not clear to me yet how to start this but my main concern is read the three parts of the filename. I don't find any task in SSIS which could help me with that.
My Issue is that, I have to create a package which should read from multiple table from a RDBMS Source.
Right now I have different Source adapters for each table. I want to reduce the number of source adapters.
Can I
1) Create a connection manager and set the connection string from a variable. Set the variable from a script task. Put both of these into for loop container (no of tables).
Issues
a) Most of the table has same schema, but few have different, so all tables which has same schema will work.
For different schema anyway I have to create different data source.
Is there a way to get the last read/write time of a table?
I want to have a few tables, but only allow them to exist if they have been used in the last 30 days. I want to set up a "purge" job to clear out any tables that have not been used in 30 days.
The problem that I am having is that I am not getting the results from an entire table, just a small subset. The sql command is "Select * from login", which has always implied to me, get everything, to end of table, or, until I tell you to stop. I am getting exactly, 10 items as input, and then it stops. I am including the code below in the hopes that someone can spot what it is that I am doing wrong.
The purpose of the routine is to convert a user login database into a new, expanded format.
TIA, Tom
