Feb 10, 2007I have set up a full text search to handle multiple columns searching for chinese
But the result of the search isn't really what i have expected.
I have setup the catalog to have a chiense word break, and the columns in the tables are all nvachar
when i do something like
select * from dbo.Table_1 where contains(*, '"<chinese character>"',language 1082)
the search result is really inconsistent, especially with single characters.I have also checked that these characters are not in the noise filter file....
the search result is better when the input is more than a single characters, but still, somtimes it will not return any result at all.
so, I try to use the "like" statement instead of "contains" to do the search with the same inputs, and 100% of the time, it returns the correct result.
does anyone have any experience about things like that? coz I guess this is a more spcific issue with language. Is there any place that you guys know of, can offer me some help?
thank you in advance.
Read Chinese Character From SQL(SQL Server 2005) Database Table Column And Display Chinese Character
Feb 1, 2008Hi!
I have a table like this below and it doesn't only contain English Names but it also contain Chinese Name.
CREATE TABLE Names
(FirstName NVARCHAR (50),
LastName NVARCHAR (50));
I tried to view the column using SQL Query Analyzer, It didn't display Chinese Character.
I know that SQL Server 2005 is using UCS-2 Encoding and Chinese Character uses Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) Encoding.
I want to read the FirstName and LastName columns and display in Window Form Data Grid and ASP.NET Grid View.
I tried to use this code below and it didn't work. It convert some of the English Name to Chinese Character and it display the chinese character and some still in the original unreadable characters.
Does anybody know how to read those character from SQL Table and display the correct Chinese Character without converting the English Name into Chinese also?
Thanks
int codePage = 950;
StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder();
Encoding targetEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(codePage);
byte[] encodedChars= targetEncoding.GetBytes(str);
.
message.AppendLine("Byte representation of '" + str + "' in Code Page '" + codePage + "':");
for (int i = 0; i < encodedChars.Length; i++)
{
message.Append("Byte " + i + ": " + encodedChars);
}
message.AppendLine(" RESULT : " + System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(encodedChars));
Console.Writeline(message.ToString());
Problems Importing Text Files With Double-quotes As Text Qualifier
Jul 14, 2006I have text data files from a third party and they use comma as field delimiters and enclose the text for each column in double-quotes. Not a problem for most of the data files until they start sending files where there is " within the column values. SSIS package fails with the error:

Importing Text File To SQL
Sep 15, 2004HI Guys,
I am doing the following to read the data in a text file and inserting it into SQL.
1) Open db connection
2) Open Text File
3) loop through text file all along inserting each row into the db
4) close the text file
5) close the db connection
However, the text file has over 400 rows/lines of data that need to be inserted into the db. Each line in the text file is a row in the db. At anyrate, the above script times out. Is there a better, faster way to do this? I can't use Bulk Insert due to permissions previlages.
Thanks in Advance!

Each file contains 10 fields and around 5000 records.
I am currently doing this with DTS.
What I am wondering is this: Is DTS the most efficient i.e. quickest way to import all this data. Bearing in mind there is about 90 million records to import in all.
I would appreciate the benefit of somebody elses experience when dealing with this type of thing.

Importing Text File Into Database
Mar 31, 2007Hello Everyone,
I would like to import a text file which contains one string (a large integer) per line not separated by commas or anything else except a carriage return. Does anyone know of an easy way to store this in a database file? I'm open to suggestions if there is more than one way to save this kind of information within a database. I have SQL server 2005 developer edition if that helps in any way. I'm also starting to learn about Linq so if there is some other way you would store this information for that purpose I would love to hear about that as well. C# code is preferable, but I can use the automatic translators if that's all you have. By the way, I'm a newbie to this subject (if you couldn't tell). Thanks in advance.

Help Needed With Importing Text Files
Jun 6, 2005I have a load (180,000+) of text files whose contents need to go into a SQL server database.Whats the best way of doing this? Using a c# console program and if so, using FileStream or StreamReader? Or using a feature of SQL server itself. The text files themselves are less that 1k and are literally less than 200 characters.The problem is, I've tried a WinForm and although I can detect what files are there, as soon as I attempt to open one for reading, everything stops working and won't insert anything to the database.

Oct 31, 2006Hi allCould someone help me with the following problem? Hours of googlingyesterday couldn't get me the answer. I'm using SQL 2000 and DTS andtrying to import a huge fixed width text file.File is >1m rows and >200 columns and is defined by a proprietory (i.e. notbcp produced) format specification of the formName Start LengthFld1 0 20Fld2 19 5Fld3 24 53and so on.Tbe only way I've found to define the columns so that DTS can import thefile properly is to go through the wizard and click on the starts of eachcolumn. I don't want to use bcp if possible (I did enough of that onSQL7) - but surely there's a way to get DTS to read from a format file so Idon't have to click 200 times (with all the ensuing errors I could make).Any help greatly appreciated.CheersRob

Importing Text Files And Converting Datatypes
Oct 8, 2004Hi ya... About to tear my hair out.
I thought i fixed this problem, as it WORKED about two days ago, but now I'm getting errors.
I have a series of text files, some are delimited, some are fixed width. I previously was able to import these files thru a dts package by creating the table in a stored procedure. Exple:
CREATE TABLE [Pol_Dump073104]
(
[Product_Type] varchar (12) NULL,
[Benefit] float NULL,
[Base_Premium] varchar (12) NULL,
[Rider_Premium] float NULL,
[Contract_Value] float NULL,
)
I then import the text file into the table and then cast the float datatypes as money in a select into statement to do aggregate functions on the money fields. this worked previously, but now I'm receiving this: 'Error converting datatype char to money.' I tried to convert to float and received the same error, only with float where the word money was.
Please help! :mad:

Importing Text Files Into SQL Server - Some Problems
Mar 22, 2007Hi all,
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum but i didn't know if i should put it in the Data Mining forum.
My problem is two fold.
Scenario:
I have 11 text files with standard data format. They range in size from 20megs to 300+ megs (containing 100's of thousands of lines of data)
I build a simple DTS Package to automate the importing of the text files into a database table with the same format as the text files.
Running the files through my DTS produced errors on all files. The error was :
Too many columns found in the current row; non-whitespace characters were found after the last defined column's data.
The error also gave an approximate position of the problem row. So i opened up a text editor that can handle large files and took out about 5000 records before and after the problem area. So i now had a new test file that had 5000 records and contained what "should" be the problem row. I ran this file and it imported correctly. It did not produce the error that i got previously. However it did import things incorrectly. Going through only one of the files i found several rows (over two dozen) that had half the data on one row, then the other half on the other row. Obviouslly there is a problem here with the way the data was exported. I wanted to know if anyone knows of any programs i can get that will analyze these text files for inconsistencies. I have considered writing one in C# but want to see if there is something already out there that can help me.
Basically i need to look at these text files and find Rows that are "incomplete"
the files come from a unix based system, use LF for row delims and Chr(29) for Column delimiters.
any ideas?
thanks,

Importing Text Files With Different Number Of Columns
Oct 6, 2007Hi!
I have a bit of a problem with importing (DTS Package) from a text file into an existing DB.
The file has no column names and every file only contain 1 row. This row varies in number of columns.
My first thought was to create a table with the maximum numbers oc columns that can appear in the text file.
An example:
Table with 4 columns; Col001, Col002, Col003 and Col004
The first text file:
123,Peter,Ocean Street,NY
The second text file:
356,John,Park Avenue
My aim is that the second file should append to the table, leaving Col004 as (NULL)
Any ideas how to get this to work?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIssues Importing A Text File (tab Delimited) To A SQL Table
Dec 7, 2005I have a text file I am trying to import to a table. This text file is in a tab delimited format. I am using DTS to import the data to a new table I made. The fields are varchar and are set to allow nulls & allow 8,000 characters per field.
The error I am getting is that the data exceeds the allowed amount (or something like that) in col4.
Now I have checked everything in column 4 and nothing exceeds 5,000 spaces/characters combined. I have checked the entire sheet (in excel) for that fact, and there is not one single column/row/cell that exceeds 5,000 spaces/characters combined.
What the heck could be causing SQL to tell me I am trying to import too much data in one column when there is nothing that even comes close to 8,000 characters & spaces combined?
Importing Text File: How To Dynamically Change The Row Delimiter
Jul 22, 2004Hi,
I have a dts package that imports a number of text files into a SQL Server 2000 database table. The package has been set up to accept a text file with a row delimiter of carriage return and line feed ({CR}{LF}). Some of the text files I receive only have a line feed ({LF}) as the row delimiter and the dts package fails the file. Is there an activex script i can use that will scan the file and change the row delimiter as required?
i was going to use the filesystemobject which allows me to read a line at a time, however the Readline method doesn't read the new line character. The text files are too big to read into one variable and then do a replace.
Any help would be appreciated
I am using SQL Server 2000 SP3, Windows Server 2000 and Windows XP Professional. All systems are fully patched
