Bulk Load Xml Data From Web Service - SQLXMLBulkLoad Vs XML Source
Mar 25, 2007
I want to import the contents of a remote database every morning via a Web service to populate a data mart. I am looking for the most efficient way to do this. Step 1 is to use the Web Service Task in SSIS to grab the data and save to an XML file (since the content is far too large to store in the String data type).
For step 2, I can either use the SQLXMLBulkLoad object in VB Script to read in the file and populate the tables. Or I can using the XML Source object in Integration Services. It is clear that SQLXMLBulkLoad is the most efficient way to load data, but is the XML Source object in SSIS just a graphical representation of the SQLXMLBulkLoad object, or is it something else entirely that is inefficient because it requires loading of the XML content entirely into RAM before it can process the XML?
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?
Msg 4863, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Bulk load data conversion error (truncation) for row 1, column 1 (ASXCode). Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error. Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".
BULK INSERTtbl_ASX_Data_temp FROM 'M:DataASXImportTest.txt' WITH (FORMATFILE='M:DataASXSQLFormatImport.Fmt')
hello, I am working on an application that will import data from ascii tab-delimited files into corresponding tables in a sql server 2005 express db. The problem I am facing is that i get errors when running bulk insert. The tables all have one extra column which is a primary key identity value. Additionaly, the column data types include: int, bigint, nchar, nvarchar, datetime and bit an example table looks like this:
So, what I do is: 1. for each table I generate a character format file with the following command: bcp mydb..table format nul -f tableformat.fmt -c -T -S hostsqlexpress 2. I modify the format file to exclude the first identity column by zeroing the field length, the column order and terminator. The resulting format file looks like this:
3. I run BULK INSERT BULK INSERT tablename FROM dataFile WITH ( FIRSTROW=2, FORMATFILE = formatFile DATAFILETYPE = 'char' FIELDTERMINATOR=' ' ROWTERMINATOR=' ' KEEPNULLS )
As a result of the above configuration I get this:
Msg 4864, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 2, column 5 (StartDate). Msg 4864, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 3, column 5 (StartDate).

Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".
What am I doing wrong here? With previous configurations I got errors about the BIT fields. In general, I only receive errors... The only thing that worked was with a table that only had nvarchar. Is there a fundamental mistake in what i do? I have read many posts, but nothing specific about handling different data types with bcp and bulk insert. I would appreciate any help, as I am running out of time Thank you.

With my Sql server I install SQLxml3.0 and run this with problem. DECLARE @ObjectError INT , @Object INT , @ErrMsg VARCHAR(50)
EXEC @ObjectError = sp_OACreate 'SQLXMLBulkLoad.SQLXMLBulkload', @Object OUT,4I plan to go with the Sql server 2005 but this code give me a error...:eek: Msg 15281, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_OACreate, Line 1
SQL Server blocked access to procedure 'sys.sp_OACreate' of component 'Ole Automation Procedures' because this component is turned off as part of the security configuration for this server. A system administrator can enable the use of 'Ole Automation Procedures' by using sp_configure. For more information about enabling 'Ole Automation Procedures', see "Surface Area Configuration" in SQL Server Books Online. My user right not change. And I dont see some "SQLXML" in the "Surface Area Configuration"???
Is there a switch I can use to force a bulk insert and if data is truncated, I'm good with that. The truncated data, in this case, is not data I can use anyway if it is long enough to be truncated.
I need to keep the field at VARCHAR(23) and if I expand it, I won't be able to join on it after the file load completes. I'd like the data to be inserted (truncated if need be) and then I'll deal with the records that are truncated after I load the file.
Please, this is an urgent call; May be someone issued the sama probleb I do :
When I'm trying to import a XML file, that contains diffgram, using the XML Source task in SSIS, I choose an Inline Schema Option - everything goes well...the tables and columns are displayed, and the Import task into a Database's table succeds.
The problem is that , it doesn't load any data into the table, though there are plenty .
Can someone help me with a SSIS package that would consume from a Web Service (in fact two of them) and then load the data into SQL Server. I currently have Web Service task which connects to ForEachLoop task, and inside the loop task, I have a DFT. I am thinking, I would need to call the webservice utilizing the Web Services Task, and then store the output in a Full ResultSet variable. In my loop, I would like to loop thru the resultset, and store the data into SQL server. Inside the DFT, how would I construct this mechanism? Also, is this a good way to consume from a Web Service and then populate SQL Server? Are there any alternate ideas on this? Any documentation on this yet? Thanks.
Can anyone provide an expample of bulk copying XML data to a SQL table. I am also looking at using column mapping so that I can map fields and also insert a new GUID into the key of the SQL table. Many thanks
I'm importing a large csv file two different ways - one with Bulk Import Task and the other way with the Data Flow Task (flat file source -> OLE DB destination).
With the Bulk Import Task I'm putting all the csv rows in one column. With the Data Flow Task I'm mapping each csv value to it's own column in the SQL table.
I used two different flat file sources and got the following:
I am building a report that takes a web service as data source. This web service does not take primitive types as parameters. The signature is something like this:
I am building a webapp that calls an SSRS instance to display a report based on another servers web service.I can make a call from the ssrs server using this in the RDL:
<Query> <Method Namespace="http://machine/webservices" Name="HelloUser"> Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <Parameters> Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <Parameter Name="user"> Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <DefaultValue>Craig</DefaultValue> Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â </Parameter> Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â </Parameters> </Method> <ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="true">*</ElementPath> </Query>
This works no problem. but.. I want to have the user parameter "Craig" be a parameter passed in from the web app. If it were a regular SQL data source you would put @user in the query. How do you do it with XML text queries?
I have a transaction table having about 40 crore rows in source. It don't have timestamp and unique key columns. It have only Bill_month and Bill_Year columns. Actually for loading this table into staging I have added a new datetime column by adding default bill_date as 01. Then
* First we delete last 3 month data from staging tables. * Get last 3 months data from source table. * Load that 3 months data from source to staging table.Â
We do this because we only get update for last three months data. Now I have to include this transaction table as Fact table in DW. What will be the best practice for loading the fact table by picking data form staging table. Also we have to look up with dimensions for Foreign Keys.Â
* Should I implement the same method of deleting last 3 months records and loading them again.Â
I have numerous jobs that use the Bulk Load object to transfer data. Once or twice a day, one of the jobs will fail with the folowing error: Error: 0xC0202009 at Data Flow Task, SQL Server Destination [73]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E14 Description: "Could not bulk load because SSIS file mapping object 'GlobalDTSQLIMPORT ' could not be opened. Operating system error code 8(Not enough storage is available to process this command.). Make sure you are accessing a local server via Windows security.". Error: 0xC0202071 at Data Flow Task, SQL Server Destination [73]: Unable to prepare the SSIS bulk insert for data insertion. After receiving this error, any job that uses the bulk load object that attempts to run will fail with the same error. After restarting the SQL Server service, all jobs will run ok. I can find virtually nothing on this particular error so if you have seen it before please let me know. This has become a maintenance nightmare!
Im bulk loading a ton of data into MSSQL SERVER 2005 Standard Edition. I used to do this process in version 2000. It seems there is some more overhead in 2005. Is there a way to drop logging to almost null to speed up insert?
hi all, I am getting this error when I try to insert an image or update the database image. I am the owner of the database. I am trying to insert or update using an ASP.Net form (published) from a remote computer. Recently I changed a few permissions (added a user with login name and password) to that database to allow Reporting services access to all my group employees. Earlier everything was working absolutely fine. But now it is denying permissions when I try to insert or update the data when I access it from a remote system. I am able to get the data incase I do a get using the ID. But if I start the application on the localhost (Start Debugging) then its working fine and i am able to insert the data. Can someone suggest what could be wrong? Check it out!!!! There is an exception!!!!!

Is there a way to use the script file from one database to load all the stored procedures into another database? I have used DTS to do them one at a time since the SQL task is very limited in the amount of text that it will handle. There has to be a way to use a script filel with all of the procedures in it to load a new database. Any suggestions are appreciated.

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
I am trying to configure a bulk table upload from a 2003 Access table to a matching table in SQL with SSIS. I can configure the source file but am unable to configure the destination. When I configure the SQL source and use SQL Native Client I get an error message of:
The selected connection manager uses an earlier version of a SQL server provider. Bulk insert requires a connection that uses a SQL server 2005 provider.
When I go through the new connection setup I don't see any available provider named like that. I believe the SQL server I am loading to is a 2003 version.
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON SET ARITHABORT ON SET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL ON SET ANSI_NULLS ON SET ANSI_PADDING ON SET ANSI_WARNINGS ON SET NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT OFF
before I do a bulk load because the table I am inserting into has an indexed view created on it. Whats the best way to set these options prior to a bulk load?
I need to update a number of sql server tables, the data sources for these coming from a number of stored procedures. I want a generic way of getting the data and then passing this data to the tables.I am thinking of doing this for each table:Populating a datasetWriting this dataset to XMLUsing SQLXML Bulk Load to pass this XML to the database to updateI can create the xml data file by: dataset.WriteXml("C:data.xml")The problem I have is that the example (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/316005/en-us) I looked at relies on the schema being defined:<?xml version="1.0" ?><Schema xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data" xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml:datatypes" xmlns:sql="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-sql" > <ElementType name="CustomerId" dt:type="int" /> <ElementType name="CompanyName" dt:type="string" /> <ElementType name="City" dt:type="string" /> <ElementType name="ROOT" sql:is-constant="1"> <element type="Customers" /> </ElementType> <ElementType name="Customers" sql:relation="Customer"> <element type="CustomerId" sql:field="CustomerId" /> <element type="CompanyName" sql:field="CompanyName" /> <element type="City" sql:field="City" /> </ElementType></Schema>Is there any way I can create the schema 'on the fly' similar to how I did for the data source file.As I could then pass these files to the database:objBL.Execute ("schema.xml","data.xml");

Hi All,I have an asp.net 2.0 app that needs to bulk load data from an xml file into a Sql Server (Express) table. Is there an easy way to do this?Thanks,Claude.
For Bulk Load requests in SQL server, Are there any specific profiler event? Like the one we have for RPC RPC:Starting and for Batch Requests, we have SQL:BatchStarting.
Are Bulk Load requests that are being monitored through Profiler captured as SQL:Batch... events at the backend?
Are there any new features added in 2012 or 2014 to identify a Bulk request submitted through bcp.exe utility or any other sqlbulkcopy program?
