Bulk Load From Text Delimited File To SQL Table

Dec 13, 2007

Hi,

I am new to SSIS but i have avg working knowledge in sql.
My problem is as follows ,I have a text pipe dilimited file in some folder and the number of columns and the name of the column is not consistant. It can have N number of column and it can have any column names. I need to load this text file data into a sql table. All that i want is to load this file to SQL Database with some temp name. Once i get the table in SQL Database, i can match the column names of both taget table and this temp table and only push those column which matches with the target table. For this i can frame Dynamic SQL. This part is clear to me.

Now the problem is , I developed a SSIS pacakge to push the text file to SQL Table. I am able to do this. But if i change the column names or added new column SSIS is not able to push the new columns. Is this functionality available in SSIS, is it can be dynamic like this?

I hope i am clear with my prob... if need any clarification please let me know

thanks in advance

Mike

Bulk Load A File In A Table

Oct 30, 2014

I have a file which has * as the field delimiter and ~ as the record delimiter, but I don't know how much columns each row will have. Only known is the maximum which can be 15.

The file looks something like: A1*A2*A3*~B1*B2~C1*C2*C3*C4*C5~

SO I have created a table with 15 columns(since 15 can be the max) but now when I try to insert it to that table, I inserts only the entire file into 1 single column.

The command which I am using is: BULK INSERT tablename FROM filename WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = '*' , ROWTERMINATOR = '~')

but this is not giving the correct output.

The output expected is
A1 A2 A3
B1 B2
C1 C2 C3 C4 C5

Issues Importing A Text File (tab Delimited) To A SQL Table

Dec 7, 2005

I 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?

Problem Importing Csv Delimited Text File Into A Sql Server 2005 Table

Apr 25, 2006

I am using the Bulk Insert command and trying to import a CSV delimited text file into a table and I am having problems with the quote field delimiters ", " The command below works but it takes in all the "" quotes as well and the field delimiter comma , works only if the commas are the separators only. If I have a comma within a address field for example then the data gets imported into the wrong fields. What can I use to identify that the text qualifier is ". I don't see where I can use the bulk insert command to determine this. Is there another command that I can use or am I using this command incorrectly. I thank you in advance for any response or suggestion you may have.

BULK INSERT AdventureWorks.dbo.MbAddress

FROM 'a:mbAddress.txt'

WITH (

DATAFILETYPE = 'char',

FIELDTERMINATOR=',',

ROWTERMINATOR='',

CODEPAGE = '1252',

KEEPIDENTITY,

KEEPNULLS,

FIRSTROW=2)

Here is a sample ascii file I am importing as well you can see that 6330 has a extra comma in the address line.

Error Using Bulk Insert On A Comma Delimited File

Mar 18, 2008

I am having a problem using the Bulk Insert task. I am getting the msg:
SSIS package "Package.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC002F304 at Bulk Insert Task, Bulk Insert Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "You do not have permission to use the bulk load statement.".
Task failed: Bulk Insert Task
SSIS package "Package.dtsx" finished: Success.

I have been granted ownership of the database. I also tried in one of my old databases that I just finished
developing and I got the same msg.

The file I am importing is comma delimited. I am importing it into a table that has 50 bytes allocation for each field (the max input field size is 40 bytes).

The connection is solid;
Format = “Specify�?
RowDelimiter = {CR}{LF}
columnDelimiter = Comma {,}

No other options are set.

The data looks like:
"tstLName","tstFname","000 N Tst DR","IDAHO sp","ID","00000000",

Any ideas why I am getting this message?

Transact SQL :: How To Bulk Insert Rows From Text File Into A Wide Table Which Has 1400 Columns

Feb 3, 2010

we can easily load a file into db tables. However, my main concern here is the number of columns in the file. A text file TEXT_1400.txt has 1400 columns. I am unable to load data to my db table using BCP or BULK INSERT commands, as maximum of 1024 columns are allowed per table in SQL Server 2008.

We can still go ahead and create ‘Wide Table’ (a special table that holds up to 30,000 columns. The maximum size of a wide table row is 8,019 bytes.). But when operating on wide table, BCP/BULK INSERT commands still fail. After few hours of scratching my head over BCP and BULK INSERT, I observed that while inserting BCP/BULK INSERT commands are unable to identify SPARSE columns and skip these columns, which disturbs column mapping and results in data conversion and trancation errors.

Is there any proper way to load this kind of files into the db table?

BULK INSERT ERROR Using Format File - Bulk Load Data Conversion Error

Jun 29, 2015

I'm trying to use Bulk insert for the first time and getting the following error. I think it might have something to do with my Format File and from the error msg there's a conversion error for the first column. In my database the Field is nvarchar(6) so my best guess is to use SQLNChar for the first column. I've checked the end of each line is CR LF therefore the is correct for line 7 right?

COMMA Delimited TEXT FILE

Jul 20, 2005

Hi,On SQLServer 2000, I have a table with a following structure:MYTABLEcol1 char,col2 date,col3 numberMy Objective:------------Externally (from a command line), to select all columns and write theoutput into a file delimited by a comma.My method:---------1. Probably will use OSQL or BCP to do this.2. Use the following syntax:select RTRIM(col1) +','+ RTRIM(col2) +','+ RTRIM(col3)from MYTABLE;My 3 Problems:-------------1) If there is a NULL column, the result of concatenating any value withNULL, is NULL. How can I work around this? I still want to record thiscolumn as null. Something like say from the example above, if col2 isnull, would result to: APPLE,,52) The time format when querying the database is: 2003-06-24 15:10:20.However, on the file, the data becomes: 24 JUN 2003 3:10PM. How can Ipreserve the YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format? Notice that I also lost theSS.3) Which utility is better? BCP or OSQL?For OSQL, it has a "-s" flag which gives me the option of putting acolumn separator. But the result is:"APPLE ,14 JUN 2003 , 5"I don't need the extra space.While for BCP, there is no column separator flag.You will notice from my inquiry above that my background in SQLServer isnot very good.Thanks in Advance!!RegardsRicky*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

Hi,

I am trying to export as a tab delimited text file. For that I have changed my config file as :

<Extension Name="TXT" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.CsvRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.CsvRendering">
<OverrideNames>
<Name Language="en-US">TXT (Tab Delimited Text File)</Name>

<DeviceInfo>
<FieldDelimiter>	</FieldDelimiter>
<Extension>TXT</Extension>
<Encoding>ASCII</Encoding>
<NoHeader>true</NoHeader>
</DeviceInfo>
</Configuration>
</Extension>

I got this code from another one of the MSDN forms. When I run the report and try to export using this format, it still gives me a csv file instead of tab delimited file.

Can someone please help me fix this code so I can get tab delimited text files.
Thanks a lot,

How To Import In Special Character Delimited Text File By Using SSIS ?

Sep 26, 2007

Hi,

I would like to know how to import in the custom delimited text file by using SSIS.
For example, instead by using tab or comma delimited, I use this character : '�'
The reason is the delimited format that SSIS provided is too common such as colon, semi colon, tab, comma and pipeline.
I have the data that the user also key in the pipeline there. So I am thinking to separate the field by using this special character, but cannot see if there is anyway to import in by using SSIS.

Please help to share the solution on this :

A�B�C
1�2�3

thanks
best regards,

Integration Services :: (OutputColumnWidth) Size In A Delimited Text File?

Sep 26, 2015

I received a pipe-delimited file that I need to import. (It has the equivalent of 650+ fields on a single row). While I had no issue importing it (SSIS 2008) I noticed that the input connector, Advanced option, shows an "OutputColumnWidth" of only 50 for all fields.

I say only 50 because some of the pipe-delimited fields can supposedly have a max of 250 characters so I'm concerned about potential data truncation. Unless someone has another thought I plan to manually set those OutputColumnWidth fields to 250.

How can I make this work without an extra step moving the data to the local server? Because that would cause extra administration.
