CSV - Can't Import Data Correctly
May 16, 2008
Hi everyone,
I'm having some problems importing a CSV to a db in SQL Server
Consider the following csv input
"1102","Spiderman, New York City",
"1103","Superman, Metropolis",
"1104","Batman, Gotham City",
When I select comma as delimiter, the columns will automatically
be offset since the location includes commas as well. How do I correctly
set the delimiter?
I tried using the following as delimiter → ","
but that'll strip the quotes which are required in this case.
Does anyone have an idea how to resolve this?

I have the following query in an ExecuteSQL Task:
Insert Into Table2
Select * From Table1 Where Column1Val = '4'
As you can see, I don't need any parameters so I havent configured any. Also, there should not be any result set so I shouldnt need to configure a resultset parameter.
Why is the above query failing with
Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly

I am using SQL Server 2012 and to me a part of data captured by CDC is not making sense.
I have a table called 'Schema.Table1', and I enabled CDC on it by running 'sys.sp_cdc_enable_table'. I see that a table called 'cdc.Schema_Table1_CT' got created which now gets an entry when ever I Insert, Update or delete a record in the original table.
Till this point every thing works fine.
My original Table has a NOT NULL INT column called 'AuditTrackerUserID' with a default value of 1996. My application does not provides a value for this column, but because the column itself has a default value, records get inserted without error.
When I try to execute the following Query I see multiple records with __$operation of 3 and 1.
SELECT * from cdc.Schema_Table1_CT where AuditTrackerUserID IS NULL
My expectation is that I should not ever see any record returned by this query because AuditTrackerUserID is a not null column, but I do.

HI all.
I have a web service that does an SQL select against a database that contains international data, however when this is displayed from the web service the text such as "Rue Emile Féron 168" is not shown correctly and the 'é' is shown as a comma. Can someone advise what changes I need to make to the coding. Also our own tables have varchar fields and I'm assuming the "é" data will be saved correctly ???
Thanks

Hello, I am really dripping wet behind the ears on this and would really appreciate some help. I am setting up my first SQL table and am lost at trying to choose data types for my fields. Basically, all I am doing is setting up a contact form. It is going to ask for phone number, name, address, city, state, zip, etc. I will also have two fields which if I were using an Access db, would be "memo" with say, 500 characters. So in researching SQL data types, I came across the following:
char
Fixed-length non-Unicode character data with a maximum length of 8,000 characters.
varchar
variable-length non-Unicode data with a maximum of 8,000 characters.
text
Variable-length non-Unicode data with a maximum length of 2^31 - 1 (2,147,483,647) characters.
nchar
Fixed-length Unicode data with a maximum length of 4,000 characters.
Can someone shed some light on what I need for simple fields like street, name, city, and more importantly, description? I will also have a "premium" field which should be a "yes" or "no". I am thinking a data type of bit, which is set to 1 or 0? Thanks for any help, I appreciate it so much.

Ok I wrote a SSIS package that will pull down data from my AS/400 and populate a SQL Server table with the data.
1)The data is being pulled from my China configured AS/400. It is configured to handle DBCS
2)The SQL Server tables are configured to handle DBCS by using the nvarchar datatype.
3)When I run this package on my machine against the production server, it works perfectly.
4)When I run this package on my test SQL Server against the production server,it works perfectly.
5)When I run this package on my production SQL Server it brings down all the records, but does not bring down all the fields. Most of the character fields are left blank.(not all)
I do not understand why this is doing this. Can anyone shed any light on this problem? Thank you.

I have the following code but do not know the best way to return the updatedDataTable back to the database. I believe I can use the Update method of theData Adapter, BUT if true, I also believe I have to 'long-hand' write codefor each individual column data that's being added......this seems a bitdaft considering that the data is already in the disconnected data table.Have I lost the plot?? Based on the code below, what is the correctapproach?Note: sqlcnn is defined at module level.Public Sub AddRequest(ByVal Eng As String, ByVal Bran As String, ByVal ReqAs String) Implements IHelpSC.AddRequestDim dtNew As New DataTable("dtNew")Dim drNew As DataRowsqlda = New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM ActiveCalls", sqlcnn)sqlda.Fill(dtNew)'Add and populate the new datarow with'data passed into this subroutinedrNew = dtNew.NewRowdrNew("CallTime") = Format(Date.Now, "dd MMM yyyy").ToStringdrNew("Engineer") = EngdrNew("Branch") = BrandrNew("Request") = ReqdtNew.Rows.Add(drNew)End SubHope one of you wizards can help.Rgds.....and Merry Christmas.Phil

I have a report that has ten pages (essentially ten different reports). Each page has one, large main chart and then three smaller charts stacked on top of each other off to the right. The layout is in landscape. When I render the report in Reporting Services, the layout looks fine. If I export it to Adobe, it is also fine. However, when the report is emailed as a PDF attachment, the main chart on each page is completely missing. Has anybody experienced something simliar? I was having issues with the layout, and decreasing the height of each page fixed everything, but created this new problem. I am using Adobe 7.0. Thank you.

Hello:
I am not sure how to implement the following, but I believe it entails using DTS, and hopefully it is fine that I post it here b/c ultimately I will need this backend data for my frontend .aspx pages:
On a weekly basis, I need to IMPORT some data located on a remote Oracle DB into SQL Server 2k. Since there is so much data to transfer, I would only like to transfer the data that is new to the table since the last IMPORT, i.e. a week ago and leave behin the OLD data.
Is DTS the correct way to go or do I have more control via DTS with STORED PROCEDURES? Does anyone have any good references for me?
On a similar note, once this Oracle data is IMPORTED into a certain table, I would like to EXPORT some of these NEWLY acquired rows matching certain criteria into another table for auditing purposes. For this scenario, should I implement a TRIGGER UPDATE event here on the first table?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Hello,
i want to import data from an excel sheet into a database. While reading from the excel sheet OleDb automatically guesses the Datatype of each column. My Problem is the first A Column which contains ~240 Lines. 210 Lines are Numbers, the latter 30 do contain strings. When i use this code:
Code BlockDim sConn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & conf_path_current & file_to_import & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=NO"""
Dim oConn As New OleDb.OleDbConnection(sConn)
Dim cmd1 As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand("Select * From [Table$]", oConn)
Dim rdr As OleDb.OleDbDataReader = cmd1.ExecuteReader
Do While rdr.Read()
Console.WriteLine(rdr.Item(0)) 'or rdr(0).ToString
Next
it will continue to read the stuff till the String-Lines are coming.
when using Item(0), it just crashes for trying to convert a DBNull to a String, when using rdr(0).ToString() it just gives me no value.
So my question is how to tell OleDB that i want that column to be completly read as String/Varchar?
Thanks for Reading

I'm moving data between identical tables and have to use a flat file as an intermediary. I thought: "No problem, SSIS can do a quick export to a file, then move the file to another server, then use SSIS to import the data to the new server."
Seems simple, right?
I'm hitting all sorts of surprising data conversion errors. I used the export wizard to create the export package. This works fine. However using the same flat file definition, the import package fails -- even when I have no destination. That is I have just one data flow task that contains only one control: the Flat File source. When I run the package the flat file definition fails with data type conversion and truncation errors. One of the obvious errors is for boolean types. The SQL field is a bit, SSIS defined the column as DT_BOOL, the output of the data are literal text values "TRUE" and "FALSE". So SSIS converts a sql datatype of bit to "TRUE" and "FALSE" on export, but can't make the reverse conversion on import?
Does anyone else find this surprising? I would expect that what SSIS exports, it can import given all the same table and flat file definitions. Is SSIS the wrong tool to do such simple bulk copies? I'd like to avoid using BCP because this process will need to run automatically within SQL Agent so we can leverage all the error tracking and system monitoring.

I need to periodically import a (HUGE) table of data from an external data source (not SQL Server) into SQL Server, with the following scenarios:
Some of the records in the external data source may not exist in SQL.Some of the records in the external data source may have a different value at different imports, but this records are identified univocally by the same primary key in the external datasource and in SQL Server.Some of the records in the external data source may be the same in SQL.
Due to the massive volume of the import, I would like to import only the records which are different from what I have in SQL Server (cases 1 and 2 above). In fact case 2 is the most critical.
I thought of making a query with a left outer join between the data in the external data source table (SOURCE) and the data in the SQL Server table (DESTIN). The join is done on the respective primary keys (composed keys of up to 10 columns) and one of the WHERE conditions will be that the value in SOURCE is different from the value in DESTIN.
The result of this query would be exactly what I need to import.
How to do this in SSIS??? I couldn't figure out how to join tables in different data sources yet.
In fact I cannot write a stored procedure to do that, since one of the sources is in a datasources not SQL Server.
I have seen the Lookup transformation in this article http://www.sqlis.com/default.aspx?311 but this is not exacltly what I want to do.
Another possibility is to use the merge join, but due to the sorting I believe its performances would be terrible!
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Hi all,
It looks like these options are only available in the SQL Server Management Studio? I installed SQL Server Management Express Studio and I can't even find the DTSWizard.exe on my machine.
Can you please help how I can import data from excel or where can I download the SQL Server Management Studio?
Your prompt response is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

I am trying to import data from an excel Sheet to SQL Database using OPENROWSET. After import I found that all the cells containing data of more than 2000 length got truncated to  255 characters only. I tried finding the solution and found that We need to have the data with length more than 255 in first 8 rows of Excel sheet. It worked for me also. But In real scenario the data that I cant do the manual work on excel. I tried out with Dot Net utility and SSIS package also but the truncation is still the issue.
INSERT into tmp_Test

I have data for online catalogue in SQL 7.0. The web grogrammer asked me to add a unique key for reference. I used int datatype with identity seed of 1 and increment of 1. This works fine BUT when I try to import new data I get an error because the csv file has no column and therefore no value for the unique field which will not allow null by definition.
How can I maintain a unique field to act as primary key in my data when
I want to add (and delete) data that doesn't have this field.
I tried adding the uniqueidentifier field but this gives error message.
The only work round is to delete the unigue field altogether and then add the new data and afterwards create a new unique field. At 600000 + lines of data, this is time and memory consuming
Any help appreciated,Thanks, Keith

The problem is when I try to import large amount of data (10000 rows) to my database on the SQL server

Hello all, I am using the Import Wizard to pull in data from an Excel spreadsheet. One column in particular SQL Server sees as a float data type but it contains varchar data. So I change this in the wizard but some of these values are missing when I select * from Sheet1$ in SQL Server 2005. Any ideas why this would happen? I have formatted the particular column as text in Excel.

Working with SQL 7.
I wanted to upsize an Access 97 database (serves as backend of db app so contains tables only) to SQL 7. I used Import Data from Data Transformation Services from the Tools menu. The import procedure worked well except it stashed the tables in the Master db. That's probably because I didn't create a new db to import them into.
How to recover from this is my question. It is a new install of SQL 7.
Thanks

Hi,
I do a monthly import in MSSQL 2K. The file contains 7.000.000 rows. These rows are loaded in to a special (preload) database. After the import several modifications are performed before it's uploaded to production.
The importfile is a comma-seperated file, fields are enclosed by double-quotes (seems to be an issue for BCP?)
If I'm right, there are 3 options to import:
1) data transformation
2) Bulk insert
3) BCP import
Could someone give me a more detailed explanation what the differences are between those methods? What's the fastest? disadvantages?
Thanks in advance!

We have a database in sql server. Now in the front end, we have two fields called “latefee and latefeeDateReceived”. When next time the people get another late fee. They just replace the old one and enter the new one. But now we want to keep all the history. Keep whatever they get the late fee. I am thing maybe need to create another table called “latefee” to contain these value. Is is good idea? As later they may want to get a report for all the late fee in one company. The thing is, I need to retrieve the current latefee and latefeeDateReceived and import to “latefee” table. But I need to create primary key for the latefee table. How can I import? Only one thing is I can import the data first, then add primary key. If I import later, how can I import. (Explain, the data retrieved have fields called “CID, Latefee, latefeeDataReceived”. But the table “latefee” has four fields called, lateID, CID, Latefee, latefeeDateReceived. When I import, it is always failed. Anybody can give me an idea? Many thanks.
