I was following an example from the book "ASP.net unleashed" in Chapter 14, where it describes how to upload a file directly into the database. I got it to insert the file into my database as described, and with changes created a master and detail form to select the file and display it.. (which I assume had worked). Except, when attempting to access the file it gives two different errors. For a ppt file it gives:
The XML page cannot be displayed Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'http://localhost:3870/SeminarOrganiser/view_file...
and for a simple txt file:
The XML page cannot be displayed Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource 'http://localhost:3870/SeminarOrganiser/view_file.aspx?...SELECT suggestEvent.suggestID, suggestEvent.uID, users.uFirstName, users.uLastName, users.uEmail, suggestEvent.suggestTitle,...From these two errors, I cannot really make sense of what has gone wrong or even why XML has even been mentioned. Looking around on the net has not allowed me any further progress.In any case, would anyone be able to explain to me what might have gone wrong?Alternatively, any links that may help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you very much in advance.
I have a directory of files that I would like to upload with some datato a table so that I can store the files in the db. I'm not trying toparse files into rows, I want to stick the actual file in the column.Is there some kind of insert script, or bulk copy that I can use?I have about 150 docs and I would rather not go through the whole app,pick the file, upload it. etc.thx,M@
I have a webpage where I want to upload pdf files to my database (arround 2 MB). Putting them inside the database is the choice based on audit definitions the client has.The problem is that for big file uploads, I get the "Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding." error.I believe the solution is expanding the connection timeout time in the SQL connection. But I don't want to do that in web.config, as a small timeout is good for every page except this one.What I was thinking about was something like, on button command:- "create new connection string"- use that connection string to upload the file using the datatables and tableadapters- turn back to the default connection string. How do I explicitly tell the system to "use THIS connection string on the next task" ?Alternatively, another way of doing is also appreciated!

Can anyone show me how to upload a pdf file to SQL 2005 and perform a Full Text Search on it and to extract record based on a word in the pdf. I have looked all over the web and I couldn't get any thing working as mentioned in other forums. Please mail me a small example if possible on salman.anwar@wmich.edu ASAP.
i have tried to move upload of files from SQL2000 to SQl2005. in SQL2005 i have created a JOB in which has 2 steps,each one of them activates the same batch files i used in SQL2000 (where i have change the server name and so on),for example :
for %%f in ( %BULK_UPLOAD_BASE%Temp%1*.txt) do bcp "db1.dbo.Test_TargetTable" in %%f -S SERVER-REP -U n145 -h "TABLOCK" -e %BULK_UPLOAD_BASE%ErrorErr10.txt -o %BULK_UPLOAD_BASE%LogsOutput10.txt -P n145 -C RAW -f %BULK_UPLOAD_BASE%format_with_RawData_4test.fmt
when irun this code in a bat file, the data is loaded with no problem. when i run the JOB i see in the LOG that everything was ok, but actually the data fromthe files was not loaded - any idea why? thnaks in advance peleg

I have multiple xml files in a directory that i would like to insert into tables. I can perform the action just fine with 1 file...but how do I add all the files in the directory into the same tables...or keep track of the files in that directory and if a new one is added it will be uploaded to the database. I have attached the script I am using to upload 1 file...
declare @XMLdocument xml declare @doc_handle int create table XMLfile(surveyXML xml) bulk insert XMLfile
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>
For a number of excellent reasons, I have exported the DTS packages that need to be migrated to SSIS to structured storage files. However, unlike the migration from a SQL Server source, the wizard doesn't allow a developer to select more than one package at a time.
Is there a way to do this in bulk that I am unaware of? I sure hope so as I have a couple of hundred to do and it's going to get very old very quickly if I have to do them one at a time!
I have more than 500 CSV files with a similar structure [Same column name and same data format]. I would like to load these files in a database table on the SQL Server 2014 database.
I have around 100 XL Files in a folder ,i want to import all the files dynamically and load all the data in a single table in sql server 2008. Without using SSIS i want to query using openrowset.
It seems to me that files created on Unix machines with line terminator , or chr(10), cannot be imported using the Bulk Insert statement. Is this a bug, or an oversight by Microsoft? Does this mean that unless one replaces all with , there is no way to use Bulk Insert to import Unix files? This is a very strange behavior by MSSQL. Even lessor programs such as Excel and Word automatically recognize chr(10) as a line termination character. Am I missing something, or is this just the way MSSQL is?
I am using Bulk Copy command for Exporting data table wise from database to csv files and it was working fine. Since last 3-4 days when exporting for some tables data in csv file is coming junk.
I need to be able to bulk insert a bunch of tables from their corresponding flat file. I have created an XML file (see below) which has the file name/table name pair at each node. I then created a ForEachLoop task and used the Node enumeration type and the following OuterXpathString: ReferenceFiles/File. At this point I get lost. How do I pass the 2 inside node values (file name and table name) to variables which I can then use as expressions for the bulk insert task inside the Foreach?
I have to update a field within a table of 60 records or so. Each record has a different field value. it's type varchar. i was given an excel file with the field values and was thinking of a bulk update like bulk insert, but i don't recall that it's possible that way.
Is the only way to create a table, bulk insert, then merge the two tables together with UPDATE?
Just wanted to see if there was an easier way to do it, otherwise i'll take the latter route. Thanks!
I have a table containing 8 million records. I need to replace 2 million of these records with a scaled down query that goes something like: SELECT 1, ShareholderID, Assets1 FROM MyTable (Yields appx. 200,000 recods) SELECT 2, ShareholderID, Assets2 FROM MyTable (Yields appx. 200,000 recods) . . . SELECT 10, ShareholderID, Assets1 + Assest2 + Assets3 + ... + Assets9 FROM MyTable (Yields appx. 200,000 recods)
Updates and cursors just seem to be too slow.
So far I have done the following, but was wondering if anyone could think of a better way. SELECT 6 million records that don't need to be deleted into a #TempTable Use statements above to select into same #TempTable DROP and recreate Original Table SELECT 6 + 2 million records INTO original table.
This seems rather convoluted. Is there a better approach? Would it be worth while to dump data to a file and use bcp / Bulk Insert
Hi There are so many records to upload into sql server DB.we have to use scripts for this?I don't know about script.How it will be usefull and how to implement ?please help me.Thanksswapprose.
hi,my sql database works fine from my desktophowever when uploading it to my web server it does not work.i considered this could be the connection path to the database.in visual web developer i attempted to modify the connection for the actual web address on the server pc like this:C:Inetpubvhostsarcvillage.comhttpdocsApp_Datavillagers.mdf this is the actual path on the server.However visual web developer will not allow this because it says that this connection is not available ON MY PC.... so i cant save this new connection in order to upload it.any suggestions please.... or am i barking up the wrong tree!
I want to upload csv/xls file with more than 65000 of records.But i get an error after sometime 'Timeout Expired' while uploading into database.can anyone help me how to solve this problem.its very urgent.
In my web application I am using tables with more than 100 fields. I build such tables in my PC by means of Server Explorer. If I am not wrong such tables reside in the App_Data folder. When I upload my application to my Web Host I would like not to build hem again. Is there any procedure to easily reuse the already built tables and to maintain them? My Web Host provides unusable instruments to rebuild long tables. To connect to them a new Connection String is required.
i need to upload a database(mssql2000) into a remote server.i usually generate script of the source database and run that script in the sqlanalyser in the server and generate all the tables,sp,views, etc. but not diagram. but currently i am using a diagram with relationship set between different tables in my local machine, i don't know how to upload this diagram to the remote server, if know any method pls reply.......
I have yet to create a query string that works and it is beginning to drive me insane. I am trying to allow a user to upload a word document into my SQL 2000 database. However I always seem to get an error when it comes time to insert the file. The table has 5 fields memnumber, papertitle, and file type are all varchar. Length is an integer and actual_file is of type image. Here is my string command = "INSERT INTO resumes (memnumber, papertitle, length, filetype, actual_file) VALUES ( '" & TextBox1.Text & "', '" & rightname & "', " & length & ", '" & type & "', " & filer & ")" I can't tell you how many different versions of this string I have tried to run with none of them working, so the errors I have gotten have been varied. Most of them tell me either I can't use the & operator with file type image or that string or binary data would be truncated.
Hello!! i need to upload a csv file to sql server, i am trying to load using bcp or bulk load, but the files has null columns, so i guess, that's why the program is displaying error.
my table is as follows:
PK COLUMN TYPE SIZE NULLABLE ----------------------------------------------- PK Object_id int 4 NO SO varchar 4 NO FISY smallint 2 NO Segment_id varchar 3 NO SubSeg_id varchar 3 NO Line_id varchar 4 NO Level smallint 2 NO Type varchar 1 NO WWB_id varchar 3 YES SC_id varchar 6 YES PL_id varchar 9 YES PS_id varchar 12 YES PSS_id varchar 18 YES Material_id varchar 18 YES WWCC_id varchar 2 YES
THE OBJECT ID IS THE IDENTIFIER, SO IT SHOULD UPLOAD AUTOMATICALLY
I'm trying to upload an image to a database along with some other info. I have a form to get all the info from the user that I want to put in the database. Everything's getting into the database except for the actual image data. When I do a "select * from table" query on the database, the Image field reads "err", however I have an imagetype field in the db and it reads "image/jpeg". I have the following code to get the image into the database:
Greetings, Salutations, and Howdy I'm using VWD on the local box and WS 2003/SQL Express on the remote box. The first time I upload the site, the upload works great. Later after uploading updates, new pages, etc. the upload still works great. BUT.....when I try to upload anything in the App_Data folder, I get a copy error, access denied. On a pre-existing site with App_Data ....How do you upload the App_Data folder or it's contents to the remote server? Thanks^2
i am trying to upload images from an asp.net or vb.net front end to a sql server db. I can upload the image fine if I first save the image to a file and then upload but my question is whether I can upload the image without first saving the image file. What i would like to do is to capture an image with a digital camera and without saving it first (an extra step for the user), upload it to a sql server db.
