Hi.. anyone know wat the syntax to output the table content to a textfile? and copy back the content on the textfile back to the table?
Must use SQL command for MS SQL Server 2000 cannot use manual.. tks!
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!
Declare @cmd varchar(255)
select @cmd = 'bcp "select * from mytable" queryout c:cptest.txt -Uasdfasdfasdf -Pasdfasdf'
when i run this it says "The command(s) completed successfully." but i don't see that file anywhere at all. why is that? is this the right way to do? please help.
With the number of threads it is difficult to know if this has been posted. If I use the Mining Content Viewer for Linear Regression, under Node Distribution, there are values given for Attribute Name, Attribute Value, Support, Probability, Variance, and Value Type. The output is similar to what Joris supplied in his thread about Predict Probability in Decision Trees. My questions:
1. How should these fields be interpreted?
2. With Linear Regression, is it possible to get the coefficient values and tests of significance (t-tests?), if they are not part of the output I have pointed to?
Thanks for your help with this?

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?
Hi
I have Lookup task to determine if source data should be updated to or insert to the customer table. After Lookup task, the Error Output pipeline will redirect to insert new data to the table and the Output pipeline will update customer table. But these two tasks will be processing at the same time which causes stall on the process. Never end.....
The job is similiart to what Slow Changing Dimention does but it won't update the table at the same time.
What can I do to avoid such situation?
Thanks in advance,

hi everybody,
The problem is, I have a table with one column of varchar(8000) datatype. It has got 1000's of records. Through Query Analyzer, I am not able to view my records after 257 columns in my table, even I increased my textsize by using 'set textsize' command.
Any other setting is available to correct this. Any help is appreciated.
thanks,
Vasu
I have a particular production database that on a few recent occasions has suddenly had one of it's tables empty of content. Now there are no jobs or triggers in place neither is any stored procedures that could perform a delete or alter table operation in place. The permissions have been set not to allow this either. The datatype is text only. What is intriguing is the QA server has an exact mirror and this dosen't happen. Has anyone come across this sort of phenomenon?

I have a table having XML column. I want to read a XML document and insert content of the XML file into this xml column.
CREATE TABLE [XMLTest](
[DataAsXML] [xml] NULL,
[CreatedDate] [datetime] NULL
)
I have tried the following query
declare @filepath varchar(100)
declare @filename varchar(100)
set @filename = 'Referred'
set @filepath = 'D:ReportOutput'+ @FileName +'.xml'
print @filepath
insert into XMLTest
SELECT xCol,getdate()
FROM (SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET
(BULK @filepath,SINGLE_BLOB) AS xCol) AS R(xCol)
Problem is that When I give complete file path for BULK instead of variable name i.e. BULK 'C:Test.xml', query runs fine. But when I try to use @filepath, I get error "Incorrect syntax near '@filepath'." What am I doing incorrect? Also,If some one can suggest a better approach to load content of XML document to table?

In a project with SQL Servcer 2005 the customer is interested to save (archive) content of a table frequently. They want to have possibility to restore the table content as before. I have suggested to export the table every day to a text file and save the file in Visual source safe. If they need there will be possibility to import the text file later. Now I wonder, is there any other way to do archiving of the table content in SQL Server 2005?
Best regards
Is it possible in SQL express and SQL server mangement studio express to export table content to sql script, like form table
column1 column2
1 2 2
2 3 34
3 4 234
we get script
INSERT INTO [database].[dbo].[table] ([column1] ,[column2]) VALUES (2,2)
INSERT INTO [database].[dbo].[table] ([column1] ,[column2]) VALUES (3,34)
INSERT INTO [database].[dbo].[table] ([column1] ,[column2]) VALUES (4,234)
?
If it is not possible in express editions, is it at least available in developer editions?
I keep product name, id in Table1.
I keep Category name, id in Table2.
I keep relation between product and category (product_id, category_id) in Table3.
I have added some products to the table with proper category.
Work fine
But for some products I did not specified any category
(ie their id is not present in Table3)
But now I want all such products
(ie all products whose category is nothing)
To be associated with category_id 10
Can I do this simply with SQL queries?
Hope u can help me

I was able to view table content easily before, but after Ireinstalled everything, I cannot find the option to view table contentin MS SQL Server Express. I can define table with no problem. Checkout the screen snapshot below, from which you'll see that the popupmenu frrom right-clicking on the table name does not have the "Opentable" option. What is going on?http://farm1.static.flickr.com/167/...839620d0b_o.png

What approach should I use to copy content of a text file.
Example of the text file's content:
Date, "20060101"
ST_Code, "101"
A_Code, P_Code, T_Code, amount, price
"0001", "1111", "0101", 550, 230
"0002", "1111", "0102", 345, 122
"2001", 0212", 0930", 410, 90
In the example above, I just want to copy the rows Date, "20060101" and ST_Code, "101" into a table.

I want to export data in a table from one database to another database. And I would like it bo be clone of the source table, if it's possible. Is there any tools out there that can help me with this or do I have to write my own code?Is it possible to query the database to get all columns and datatypes for å requested table? If possible, can you give me an example?If I have to write a tool myself I guess I would do something like this: Export - Query the database for columns and datatype for the requested table. Dynamically generate a query to retrieve all rows from the table and save it to an xml file. Import - Turn off the Identity Increment, loop through the xml file and generate insert queries to insert a clone of each row, turn off the Identity Increment. Viola! If programming only could be that simple :-) Regards, Sigurd

FYI, Page number should be there in TOC.
Third party component is not accepted.
Dynamic Document Map will not work, as it cant get the page number.
I understand that there is no buildin feature which support this, but there should be some work around in SSRS or when export to PDF.

Hi there,
I'm struggeling for more than a week now with this problem, without a finding the solution.
I have two databases, MS Access and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
Using a procedure in Visual Studio i would like to copy all the records from one table in MS Access into an existing table in SQL Server (the tables have the same name and the same layout)
I tried to prepare one Dataset to copy from Access into SQL Server but when i run the command 'DaSQL.Update(DsSQL, "Tabella") nothing happens (not even an exeption has been raised), looking during debug, the DataSet seems filled though...
Please could anyone explain what's wrong and / or is there a more quicker way to copy data from a table to another?
Note i woul have as a final goal to get data from an AS400 database by ODBC, manage it, and put it on SQL Server for a 'data mining' scope (eliminating the use of MS Access, not suited for FE-BE).
the procedure goes like this;
' Create a connection to the MS Access Database
Dim connectionToAccess As New OleDbConnection(DBConnectionAccString)
strsql = "SELECT * FROM [TABELLA]"
connectionToAccess.Open()
Dim DaAccess As New OleDbDataAdapter(strsql, connectionToAccess)
Dim DsAccess As New DataSet("ACCESS")
DaAccess.FillSchema(DsAccess, SchemaType.Source, "Tabella")
DaAccess.Fill(DsAccess, "Tabella")
' Create a connection to the SQL Database
Dim connectionToSQL As New SqlConnection(DBConnectionSQLString)
connectionToSQL.Open()
Dim DaSQL As New SqlDataAdapter(strsql, connectionToSQL)
Dim DsSQL As New DataSet("SQL")
DaSQL.FillSchema(DsSQL, SchemaType.Source, "Tabella")
DaSQL.Fill(DsAccess, "Tabella")
DaSQL.Update(DsSQL, "Tabella")
Note I tried also the following, withou a result;
DsSQL = DsAccess.Copy
DaSQL.Update(DsSQL, "Tabella")
Please is there someone who could respond !!???
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,

hi,
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
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?
Your help is greatly appreciated!

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.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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 anyone confirm if this is a problem in 64bit?
Thanks,
