Hi All,
I am stuck at one place, where I have to convert CSV format file data into SAP IDOC format file. In SSIS we don't have any such SAP adapter (though we have .NET Data Provider for mySAP suite [SSIS SAP Adapter] but this is still not fully supported by Microsoft, plus it doesn't have feature to convert data into IDOC format) that can do this. Can someone here please provide me some pointers on any third party adapters available in market to do this job or if anyone has already developed some custom approach to achieve this task?
Your quick response on this is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Kuldeep Chauhan
I've got a field I'm trying to convert into a date format as it currently sits as a text field. The date setup is of the format DD/MM/YYYY. Some of the fields are NULL, however for the sake of filling in gaps I've just set the nulls to '01-01-1905'.
I've tried to use CAST to change the data into a readable format for SQL Server however I tend to get one of two messages:
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
-Or-
error converting data type varchar to date
The data file contains the answers given to questions asked during the course of an interview. This file contains data only for completed interviews. The file is ASCII based, and contains data in a card column format. This means that each record is spread over several rows in the file €“ called cards. Currently 39 cards make up one completed record, although this may change over time. There are 80 columns per row.
sample of data is as follows
record 1

its quite a new concept for me
please advise
Hey All,
Similar to a previous post (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=244646&SiteID=1), I am trying to import data into a SQL Table.
I am trying to program a small application that will import product data obtained through suppliers via CD-ROM. One supplier in particular uses Fixed width colums, and data looks like this:
Example of Data
0124015Apple Crate 32.12
0124016Bananna Box 12.56
0124017Mango Carton 15.98
0124018Seedless Watermelon 42.98
My Table would then have:
ProductID as int
Name as text
Cost as money
How would I go about extracting the data with an XML Format file? I am stumbling over how to tell it where to start picking up data for a specific column.
Is there any way that I could trim the Name column (i.e.: "Mango Carton " --> "Mango Carton")?
I don't know if it makes any difference, but I've been calling SQL from my code by doing this:
Code in C# Form
SqlConnection SqlConnection = new SqlConnection(global::SQLClients.Properties.Settings.Default.ClientPhonebookConnectionString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO PhonebookTable(Name, PhoneNumber) VALUES('" + txtName.Text.ToString() + "', '" + txtPhoneNumber.Text.ToString() + "')";
cmd.Connection = SqlConnection;
SqlConnection.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
SqlConnection.Close();
RefreshData();
I am running Visual Studio C# Express 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005.
Thanks for your time,
Hayden.
i have 12 different sql server tables. all are binded to one gridview. i have kept one admin user to view the details of the 12 tables in a gridview (pagesize=5). now the admin wants to generate 12 CSV files from the 12 tables (that is, he has to choose the table name from a dropdown and then has to click "Generate" button. CSV file name should be like this "<table_name>_<date>" ). also want to put links(dynamically [after generation of those csv files]) in a separate page to download those csv files. how to do this in asp.net (C#)? its urgent.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello. I am in the process of migrating an old app to SQL Server. The old app reads hundreds of different flat file formats. One of the more complex ones is a multi-format delimited file. For example:
01^Bob Johnson^123 Main St^Anytown^St
02^Book1^$20
02^Book2^$30
03^Gift Cert^Happy Birthday^$100
This file is delimited with the ^ character. Note that the first 2 characters identify the row type. All 01 rows have data in the format: Name, Street Address, City, State. All 02 have data in the format: Book name, price. Etc.
Any clever ideas on how to parse this? I tried setting it up as a flat file source with the ^ delimiter. It doesn't work - in this example it wraps the third row to the end of the second row and keeps adding columns to fill out the row.
The only option that I can think of is to pull the entire row into one long column, and then use a script component to manually substring each column out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
Hi,
I have a text file contains data extracted from security logs from from different servers. The format of the data looks like this

If I tries to extract data as Delimited the columns are not containing the same data for each row as there are some wired characters in the "Description" filed.
How can I extract this data as proper csv file? If not is there a way to extract only ther first line in detail row as shown below

If I tries to extract as Fixed Width, it still not work. Kindly suggest, How I can achive this.
We are using the bcp utility (via APIs) to export data from a SQL tablein a fixed format text file. BCP is inserting spaces for a field ifthe field contains a NULL. This is fine with us except at the end ofthe line, there are no spaces for that field just the end-of-rowterminator prematurely, so it looks like that field is not present andmesses up another piece of software we pump the text file into downstream.Example -- The last row illustrates the problem.123-49-890 Mary Smith Raleigh NC
999-88-123 Henry Ax Boston MA
456-99-123 Sue Kite WA
789-88-126 Andy Yates Philadelphia
We have thought about using a SQL query to convert the NULL dataexplicitly to spaces, but were wondering is there a switch or somethingin our format file to get around this.Thanks.
Hi. Im new to SQL and I need to export a SQL table as a comma delimited text file which is straight forward. However two of the fields are integers and I need these to be right justified with zero's.
In Access I would use something like format(columnname, "00000000") to get it to work, but SQL Server doesn't like this.
How can I do this?
E.g, i have a store procedure. The start date is long date (4/15/2007 3:00pm). i want to select the start date with a particular date (short date format 4/15/2006). Thanks in advance.

Aloha !
I am posting this information simply as an FYI. This is in reference to the MS-SQL command "CONVERT"
I spent over 2 hours :rolleyes: screwing around trying to find out different ways of formatting dates from MS-SQL into something that makes sense for what I needed. I googled everything I could think of and found multiple references that said the info is available on MSDN.. but I could not find it. What I did find were thousands of relatively useless references to "format codes" for converting dates, but with no references to what the different format codes would ultimately yield, or what format codes were available to use.
What I ended up doing was writing a small script to generate a list of all of the variations I could find.
Below is the script, and the output that it yielded.
Now, before I get bombarded with "there is a better way" I know there probably is. But this is the way that I needed to do it this particular time. If there are technical errors in my explanation, anyone is welcome to correct them. But after 2 hours of messing with this for what should have been a super simple single .0009 second command, I am just irritated beyond belief that it had to be this complicated to find any useful information on the subject. That is why I am creating this. Hopefully it helps someone else.
The format for the MS SQL CONVERT command is :
CONVERT( length_of_output, date, format_code )
length_of_output : is exactly that . the number of characters that you want returned as your result. If you use a length of 6 you will only see the first 6 characters that are returned. I found the longest valid length to be 28 characters, but I went as high as 128 just for giggles and to see if it revealed any secrets.
date : is a valid date, I used directly the getdate() function
format_code : well.. that's the tricky part. See below.
What I did was ran a script that originally went from 1 to 20,000. It crashed at 15. Apparently the format codes are not totally sequential. So I put in an on error resume next.
What I found is that :
1) the codes are not uninterrupted sequential numbers.
2) the code output repeats every 255
3) negative numbers can be used, but its pointless.
4) useful valid codes are in the ranges of : 0-14, 20-25, 100-114, 120, 121, 126, 130 and 131
5) 0-25 typically represent "short dates" with the year being only 2 digits, but there are exceptions
6) 100 and above always returned a 4 digit year. the exception was 130 and 131, I don't know what it was trying to do.
Here is the script i ran
<%
on error resume next
for iintCounter = 0 to 256
SQL = "SELECT CONVERT(CHAR(128), getdate(), " & iintCounter & " ) as TheDate"
Set rsTheDateFormat = TheDatabase.Execute(SQL)
response.write SQL & " = " & rsTheDateFormat("TheDate") & "<br>"
set rsTheDateFormat = nothing
next
%>
and here is the output

View 1 Replies View RelatedLet me start by saying that I'm brand new to SQL Server 2005 and SSIS. I'm using the import wizard in SQL2005 to import from a flat file into a table and everything works fine except for dates. A typical date in my flat file is 01-JAN-06. 01 represents the day of the week, JAN represents the month and 06 represents the year. The flat file also contains date values of 00-XXX-00 which represent no date. For example a column containing last purchase date data would look like this:"DateOfLastOrder"
"01-JAN-06"
"02-JAN-06"
"00-XXX-00"
"03-DEC-05"The value of 00-XXX-00 means that there is no purchase date.I want to bring these columns into my table and replace the 00-XXX-00 values with a NULL.
The table Data Type is datetime.

If I remove the 00-XXX-00 values and import something like this:
"DateOfLastOrder"
"01-JAN-06"
"02-JAN-06"
"03-DEC-05"
The import is successfull and the dates look correct in a querry.
SELECT *
FROM date
date
-----------------------
2006-01-01 00:00:00.000
2006-01-02 00:00:00.000
2005-12-03 00:00:00.000

Does anyone know how I should go about getting these date columns into a datetime table and convert the 00-XXX-00 values into NULLs?
Thank you,

How can I format a date in the format 14AUG2007 ?
The data is comming in from a CSV as a string. I am happy to get the day and year, its just converting the month (eg "AUG") into I a valid number.
I was thinking Lookup, but that only seems to work against a datasource. I can create a lookup table for it to work against but that seemed a bit clunky.
Any other ideas gratefully received.
Thanks

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to open and read a text file using C#. Once I have read all of the values from the text file, I will need to insert some of those values into a SQL Server database table. One of the values read from the text file will be a date in the format YearMonthDay. For example: 20070601
So my problem is that I don't know how to convert this date into the date format that is expected for a SQL server datetime value.
Can someone help me out. How do I do this?
How to get this out put.
Details:
declare @deadline Datetime = '2014-03-23 15:30:10.000'
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(30),@deadline, 100) AS DateConvert
----With this I am able to produce that like
----o/p: Mar 23 2014 3:30PM
declare @deadline1 Datetime = '2014-03-03 15:30:10.000'
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(24),@deadline1, 100) AS DateConvert
