Cannot Initialize The Data Source.. Text File Linked Server
Sep 7, 2007
Hi All,
I have this very big text file (2.5 GB - which of course I am not able to open). This resides on a server which has SQL 2005.
I have created a linked server for this text file on my SQL database, and when I try to query the table, I get an error:
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "txtsrv".
Why am I getting this error? When I make a dummy linked server on my local machine and test the steps it all works OK. but when I go to this server where the file and it's SQL instance is lying, I get this error. Please can someone provide me with some help on this?
Many thanks,
~S
P.S. Here is how I created the linked server (I also have the Schema.ini lying under the same folder):
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver txtsrv, 'Jet 4.0',
'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'C:SSAnalysis',
NULL,
'Text'
GO

I find this most perplexing.
I have two servers, DEV and PROD. Now my DEV server works just great, I can connect to the linked server, query, etc... all is well.
So I'm setting up my PROD server and when I go to add the linked server I get:
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI".... and Unable to complete login process due to delay in opening server connection.
Now I am running SQL Server 2005 and connecting to an SQL 2000 server.
The odd part is that this works just fine on DEV.
When I go to create the linked server I set:
Linked Server: "LinkedServerName"
Server Type: "SQL Server"
and that's it.
I go to Security and enter my DOMAINUSER.ACCOUNT and then enter the login creds for the linked server.
When I click "OK" I get the above mentioned error code.
Any thoughts?

I wanna to create a linked server which connect to oracle. Â Here are my steps:
1.Install Oracel drivers Oracle Data Access Components.
2.Configure the Oracle Ole DB provider to run inside the SQL Server process and configure it to accept parameters. exec
master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop
'ORAOLEDB.Oracle',
N'AllowInProcess', 1
exec master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop
'ORAOLEDB.Oracle',
N'DynamicParameters', 1Â
3.Create linked server with scripts:
exec sp_addlinkedserver N'MyOracle1', 'Oracle', 'ORAOLEDB.Oracle', N'//10.154.14.235', N'FetchSize=2000', ''
exec sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname='MyOracle', @useself=N'FALSE', @rmtuser=N'root', @rmtpassword='Sqlexp!23' Â Â
4. After create successful and testing the connection ,I got the error below.(My windows firewall is turn off)
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "ORAOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "MyOracle".OLE DB provider "ORAOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "MyOracle" returned message "ORA-12504: TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)

This is a problem that never get solved, sometime I can use other way to avoid it, but havn't found a solution yet, i hope I can get some more idea here.
I am using SQL 2005, when I run
select * into #import1
from OpenRowSet('microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0','Excel 8.0;hdr=yes;database=\ws8webjeff2.xls',
'select * from [jeff2$]')
I get
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
when I try to compile a SP with that statement in it, I get the same error, like
create stored procedure test
as begin
select * into #import1
from OpenRowSet('microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0','Excel 8.0;hdr=yes;database=\ws8webjeff2.xls',
'select * from [jeff2$]')
end
so it seems the error may not relate to the real file, since at the compile stage, it should not check the real file?
On my live db, after I restart the SQL service, the statement will work, after a while, one or several days, I get the same error again. I can not restart my live db quite often for sure, so now I have another backup db server, I need run the statement on the backup server and then read the data from there.
I have the same problem at two places, both use SQL 2005.
So far there are three questions
1, why it works after restart, but only last for a while? something about memory? since the backup db seldom need restart and work fine after many days.
2, why it gives error in compile stage?
3, why two dbs in different Enviroment has the same problem
The most answer I have gathered so far is permission issue, true I got similar error if the import file is located in a place which SQL has no right to access. But in this case, it should not be.
Any other idea or suggestion?
thanks

When I try to run this SQL "Select * from [GGSyncCSV]...[MerchoMasterInfo#CSV]", I am getting the following error.
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "GGSyncCSV" returned message "Unspecified error".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "GGSyncCSV".
The [GGSyncCSV] link server was created by following SQL statement a couple months ago.

The SQL statement "Select * from [GGSyncCSV]...[MerchoMasterInfo#CSV]" always returns the content of the CSV file until 2 days ago.
I like to ask: is there anything that causes OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" not working properly?
Any possible solution for this issue?
Thanks.

In DTS 2000 I had a situation where I had a text file as input source and text file as output source. On migrating the package to 2005 it puts a wrapper around it which executes it as a 2000 package, the rest of the tasks are neatly converted to 2005 style tasks. I presume this to mean that this will not be supported through to the next version, and there is no direct equivalent in 2005.
My question is how do I import a non-flat file source which has different numbers of columns per line. I did ,somehow, manage to do this with 2000 but cannot seem to get anywhere with 2005.
The flat file source seems to be expecting a common number of columns and just can't seem to cope with no column delimiters on some lines. If anybody knows different I would be glad to hear about it.
Raw data is not helpful to me as only works with a specific raw type (apparently)
Went onto Bulk Insert Task but got this message
[Bulk Insert Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.Bulk load: An unexpected end of file was encountered in the data file.".
Have already browsed with this on web but only find comments about changing timeout setting.
Can find timeout settings in DataFlow source and DataFlow destinations but not in Bulk Insert Task.
As you can see this is a long and protracted question.
If the answer is simple I apologise if not blame Microsoft. Other than that have found SSIS has some nice improvements, apart from the odd vague error message I keep coming across.

Hi Mates,
I am unable to fetch data from Source which is CSV file whose sample contents are given below:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The error message that comes while I preview the source data:
Error:
"The Preview sample contains embedded text qualifiers. The flat file parser doesnot support embedding text qualifiers in data. Parsing columns that contain data with text qualifiers will fail at runtime"
Is there any alternative to remove these text qualifiers from the file. Do we have any utility that can convert these files into text qualifier free CSV file?

-DT_WSTR (5) originally is DT_BOOLEAN
I export a Query result to a File (see above) ...as unicode TXT destination.
OK, now I must to re-import into another DB and here is my difficult...'cause the DT_NTEXT is HTML code and I got always this error:
[Flat File Source [1050]] Error: The column delimiter for column "scheda" was not found.
Scheda field is the DT_NTEXT.
Into connection manager area I modify the advanced tab for the set-up of my fields setting all to:
Unicode string [DT_WSTR] with a variable of the len, but Try also to define everyone to the rigth type of the SQL destination like:

- DT_STR(100)
- DT_DTNTEXT
- DT_DBTIMESTAMP

Hi,I used sp_addlinkedserver to link to a remote server through ODBC.When I execute select count(*) from LinkSrv.SI.DBO.SIHeader in SQL QueryAnalyzer. It returns 13705 records. But when I execute select * fromLinkSrv.SI.DBO.SIHeader. It only return 885 records. If I specify somecolumns, select ODCOMP, ODPONO, ODVDCD from LinkSrv.SI.DBO.SIHeader.It returns more records, 1213 records.I guess there is something limit the return storage, but I can notfind it.Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thank you

I have a peculiar problem with a database.
I need to import data from text files where one column matches a value in a table that's already on the database. I cannot even fathom how to do this without pulling the entire 1GB file onto the database and simply deleting data that doesn't match the criteria. While this would work, I'm sure there's a more efficient way to do it! Can anyone give me some pointers? I'm not exactly a DTS expert.
Thank you.

I need help in creating a Data Source within SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 to connect to a Microsoft Access database. I'm sure the problem is an authentication issue, because the report works fine when previewed through Visual Studio 2005. But, through the report server browser front end I get the following error:
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Query execution failed for data set 'AssignedEmployees'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand)
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '...'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
The Access database happens to reside on the same server as the SQL Server instance. The query that it is invoking uses tables linked to other Access databases including one that is on the same server and another that is on a completely different server. The error listed above references the database that is linked from the main Access database and that is on the same server.
I tried various things to get it to work, but what it comes down to is that I do not know the proper way to create the Data Source to an Access database from SRS (especially where the Access database links to other Access databases). Can anyone provide the steps to do this properly?

I have a report my business users need from from two data sources, which are on two different servers (both are oracle DBs). I have a common Primary key between both. I've read through a ton of posts and it looks like there is no way to join the data using Datasets, that you need to do something called Linked Servers.
but what I couldn't find is where do I go to create a Linked Server and how. I'm new to SS, so I need help and details.
the more step by step details the better.

Unlike SQL Server 2000 DTS, SSIS Flat File Connection Manager Editor does not provide available list of Text qualifier,
i tried
-- ""
-- double quote {"}
-- "
--{"}
but none of them worked....!
My file sample looks like this
"Col1","Col2"
"1234","3456"
"3456","1234"
what qualifier should I use then?

Hi ,
I have just downloaded an evaluation version of SQL server from the microsoft website and installed it in my PC.
Now I want to create file data source.
I followed these steps:
-From the control panel, ODBC datasource admin
-click the DSN tab
-click the add button
-select the sql server driver, enter the data source file name
-enter "local" in the server text box as I installed the sql server in my standalone PC.
-click next
After that I had this error.
"Connection failed. SQL server does not exist or access denied."
But The sql server service is running.
Can anyone help me where did my configuration go wrong??
Thanks...

Hi,
I have a new problem when I import data from an xml source file in two destination tables. The two tables are linked by a foreign key... for example :
table MOTHER (MOTHER_ID, MOTHER_NAME)
table CHILD (CHILD_ID, MOTHER_ID, MOTHER_NAME)
After a lot of transformations data are inserted into MOTHER table and I want to insert other fields of the data flow in CHILD table. To do this, I need the MOTHER_ID field that is auto incremented in MOTHER table.
My problem is to chain the insertion in CHILD table after the insertion in MOTHER table to be sure that the relative row in MOTHER table is really inserted. I haven't find any solution to chain another transformation task after my flow destination "Insert into MOTHER table".
The only solution I have found is to create a new flow control to insert data in CHILD table, using a lookup transformation task to bind with MOTHER table... But with this solution all my flow control transforms are made two times...
Is there a solution to chain two insertions with a foreign key constraint in a data flow?
Thanks
Regards,
Arnaud Gervais.

I have automated process, which synchronizes a transactional publication using initialize from backup approach. It drops subscriptions and puts them back again once the restore on the subscriber is completed.
Dropping the subscriptions causes a lot of blocking and deadlocking. I've decided to remove those steps, but it causes loss of data on the subscriber.
Is it a must to drop and re-create the subscriptions during such process? If not, how can I avoid the loss of data?

hi all;
1. Excel file Source--> monthly Revenue details
2. Derived Colum Transoformations
3. Oledb Destination
its my flow in one of my packates (ETL job)
Excel file contains monthly revenue details, i wanna import the excel data to my database staging table, so i've created the package.
its working fine...
Problem
if we change the new data for the next month and running the package its not running;
the same file, same format, only we delete the contents, of the file except first row of the excel sheet,
and pasting the new data;
new data is coming from Oracle DataBase in the form of excel sheet ( manually they will copy the data and sending to us)
i open that package in design mode and while double clicking the excel file source it says <column name>'s Meta Data needs to be synchronized
Do you want to Fix this issue automatically with the available external column's meta data
Clearly noted that its a data type issue; i have changed the corresponding data types as it is in the previous Excel sheet which is equivalant to the Table its copying to.
now the package is running with validation warnings, External Column "Invoice Amount" needs to be updated...etc. some 2 or three warning messages i can able to see in the package Execution wizard,
ok, i'm ready to accept these warnings, and i want my package running from my server;( packages had been deployed in to the Centeralized server; every time if we want to run the package, we have the asp.net webpage, that is executing the package in an On_click event)
The package is not running from the server, its due to the meta data change in the Excel file( i guess)
please suggest me some guide lines to resolve this meta data issue, i want my excel sheet meta data should not change when we have new updates in it;
otherwise suggest me some solutions that i can validate the excel sheet before running the package and testing whether the data is in correct format or not? its a kind of Data Profiling activity;
i know its some what crazy, but i need to maintain the system with permanent solution, instead of facing this meta data mismatch issue!!!
some what lenthy explanation--> its needed for my dear powerful microsoft responders. i think i 've explained my problem clearly, if i don't let me know your queries, i'll try my level best.

I am trying to take an entire MS SQL database and put it in an sql file. I have succesfully copied the tables into an sql file by highlighting the tables in enterprise manager and choosing 'generate sql script'.
That gives me the structure, but now I would like the data (in insert statements). I have looked in enterprise manager's export wizard and sql analyzer to no avail. There seem to be a lot of options for exporting data except this one! Please point me in the right direction.
At the end of the day, I would like to be able to put everything in a text file. Then, should I have problems, I can just copy my text into query analyzer and have a brand new database.
Thank you in advance.

I am looking for a way to convert the following format into a sql table. The format it is Bib Tex.
Essentially a new row in the table would be for each entry, denoted by an @ logo and each column is denoted by an =, as you can see from the example data no one contains all the possible columns and some fields can be over two lines long.
To load this I was considering loading it into a table as each line being a row. Adding a row number, then a column counting the @ signs in order and essentially grouping each record, then for each group running through and looking for the column keywords 'author' , 'title' etc then splitting the data out into those constituent parts using substring and charindex.

Hi,
I want to transform an xml flow to an html flow. For this, I create an XmlDataDocument, I add on it, all that I want, and I store it in a file (in a dataflow task).
After that, in an xml task, I set the input properties like that:
Operation type: xslt
SourceType: File connection
Source: ras.xml
All works fine. But now, I want to use a variable to store my xml data. So, instead of storing my data in ras.xml, I store it in a variable like that:
Dim v As Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper.IDTSVariables90
Me.VariableDispenser.LockOneForWrite("RAS", v)
v("RAS").Value = doc.OuterXml
v.Unlock()
and in the xml task, I set configuration like that:
Operation type: xslt
SourceType: Variable
Source: user::RAS
But when I execute, I got this following exception:
Error: 0xC002F304 at Format HTML Mail, XML Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "Root element is missing.".
Error: 0xC002928F at Format HTML Mail, XML Task: Property "New Source" has no source Xml text; Xml Text is either invalid, null or empty string.
Furthermore, when I want to debug it, in replacing the xml task, by a script task, I can see that in my RAS variable, I get the xml data which is well formed.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root> €¦
</root>
(When I store it in a file, I can see it in IE)
Have you got an idea ?

Hi, all,
I have this SSIS data flow ( Flat file to sql server) that I want to add a step to redirect any "bad" data instead of fail out.
I had the red arrow hocked up to a sql new table to dump the bad data, but the flow still failed.
Here is the first error, and I knew what was wrong. A description field in that line has pipe(|) character in it, which also happen to be the column delimiter in this case.
[Flat File Source [1]] Error: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "Column 22" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".
I knew if I fixed the data, every thing will be fine, but I just want to use this redirect feature of SSIS. Is there a place where I can turn off validation, or do something to make it work?
Thanks!
