DTS Package Import Of HTM And Column Type Manipulation

Nov 24, 2004

I built a DTS Import Package to import an HTM file and it went smooth as silk. Replaced the file with another HTM Table of the same name and whammo a text field turned into an integer file and data goes missing. The first 20 or so rows of a particular column were all numbers. I tried to do a disconnected edit to alter the Source column to a string but the Edit button just disappears without changing the column's type value. The only way I can think of getting around this is to use something archiac like EDLIN to add a new table row at the top of the HTM Table with values to force the specified type. Anyone think of a better solution?

Exported Flat File Data Will Not Import To Same Table Without Extensive Data-type Manipulation

Jul 13, 2007

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.

Design Patterns Research - Dynamic Error Count Manipulation To Determine On What Type Of Error To Stop Job

Jan 31, 2008



I would like to fail a package depending on the error. The package extracts data from Excel files. I would like to continue processing if an Excel file is badly formatted, but stop processing if there is a serious issue. like the file server hosting the Excel files crashed.
I was thinking about dynamically changing the MaxeErrorCount property based on the Error ID or description.


Any ideas on an intelligent/simple way to do this

Bulk Insert Task Failing On Data Type Conversion For A Destination Column Of Type Bit

Jul 6, 2006

I am trying to use the Bulk Insert Task to load from a csv file. My final column is a bit that is nullable. My file is an ID column that is int, a date column that is mm/dd/yyy, then 20 columns that are real, and a final column that is bit. I've tried various combinations of codepage and datafiletype on my task component. When I have RAW with Char, I get the error included below. If I change to RAW/Native or codepage 1252, I don't have an issue with the bit; however, errors start generating on the ID and date columns.

I have tried various data type settings on my flat file connection, too. I have tried DT_BOOL and the integer datatypes. Nothing seems to work.

I hope someone can help me work through this.

Thanks in advance,

SK

How Can I Set Constant Padding Between The Columns Of The Column Chart(stacked Column Sub-type)?

Aug 2, 2006

Hi All,

I am working on a column chart type (stacked column sub-type) report.

Our customer requires us that the space(padding) between the columns should be a constant(including the space between the Y-axis and the first column). I know how to set the width of the columns, but I really don't know how to set the width of the space between them. The columns just varies the space between them automatically according to the number of the columns (the number of the columns is not certain).

Thanks a lot in advance!

Excel Import To SQL - Data Type Problem

Jun 20, 2008

Hello,

I have an Excel file (complete with headers) that I am wanting to import (append) to an existing SQL tables When I use the file import wizard with my version 8 Microsoft SQL server software,I get the following error: "Destination does not allow NULL on column pair 1 (source column 'CheckRef (DBTYPE_R8), destination column 'CheckRef (DBTYPE_I4)). Obviously, the import fails.

What date type (in Excel) produces the I4 data type needed by the SQL table? I looked at the SQL table properties and that particular field calls for the data type "int" and the size is 4. I assume that is an integer. I have already made the data type in the Excel file cells for that data a number with NO decimal or zeros.

Can someone help me make this work?

Thank you very much. Your help is greatly appreciated.

SSIS Import And Export Wizard Source Type -1 Instead Of Time

Feb 13, 2015

Running SQL 2008. Trying to copy data from one table into another table using SSIS Import/Export Wizard. Now, when I do a straight "Copy data from one or more tables or views", no problems. But when I use the "Write a query to specify the data to transfer", it will not let me get anywhere.

My source table has a field that is setup as "time". It has data, and no problems with the field. I even replicated my destination table structure exactly. But when I try to use the Import & Export wizard, for that one field I get an error stating the source field is unknown and it is labeled as "-1" instead of "time".

I found a couple of of workarounds. One is to cast the source field "time" as "datetime", and then end up with a "datetime2" field in the destination table. Works, but not what I want to store in that field. Second workaround is to use TSQL and use a "INSERT INTO...SELECT...FROM..WHERE.." statement. This works, and gives me the desired results with all data types being same in source and destination, but is a slight pain in the rear end.

I just want the Import & Export wizard to work. It should work. Why doesn't it know what "time" is? I even checked the MSSQLToSSIS10.XML mapping file the wizard is using. This is what it has for "time":

<dtm:DataTypeMapping >
<dtm:SourceDataType>
<dtm:DataTypeName>time</dtm:DataTypeName>
</dtm:SourceDataType>
<dtm:DestinationDataType>

Csv File Import: Bulk Insert Data Conversion Error (type Mismatch)

Sep 27, 2004

Hi,

Iam trying to import data from a csv file into my table in SQL Server 2000. My table is called as temp_table and consists of 3 fields.

column datatype
-------- -----------
program nvarchar(20)
description nvarchar(50)
pId int

pId has been set to primary key with auto_increment.

My csv file has 2 columns of data and it looks like follows:

program, description
"prog1", "this is program1"
"prog2", "this is program2"
"prog3", "this is program3"


Now i use BULK INSERT like this

"BULK INSERT ord_programs FROM 'C:datafile.csv' WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR=',', ROWTERMINATOR='', FIRSTROW=2)"

to import data into my table in SQL server and it gives me this error

"Bulk insert data conversion error (type mismatch) for row 2, column 3 (pId)"

I guess i have to use fileformat or something since i dont have anything for pId field in the csv file to make it work...

Please help me out guys and please post a snippet of code if you have.

Thank You.

Not seeing the Review Data Type Mapping Screen in SQL Server Import and Export Wizard?

Is there only a certain version where that screen shows up?

I am trying to import data from an MS Access application to SQL Server and all of the connections are good, but some of the data isn't and if I let it migrate using this tool it crashes on the bad data and there is no data that migrates. The Review Data Type Mapping screen will allow me to bypass the records in error and load the rest. however, I can;t do that if I cannot see the screen.

Help Please With Dts Package Import

Apr 2, 2008

Hi,

We just migrated from SQL 2000 to 2005. We moved over the dts packages but they don't seem to work anymore. Do I need to do some editing to them to make them work but keep them as dts packages? What they should be doing is selecting data from a table then putting that data into an excel file. They seem to pull the data with the select statement fine but fail to insert data into the excel file. Any ideas why? Do I need to edit them since SQL 2005 works differently? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Package Does Not Import Data When Run From VB

Dec 13, 2000

I'm trying to import tables and data from an Access database to a SQL Server database. I can create and run a Package from Enterprise manager that does just that. However, if I save the package as a COM file-or even if I create a new package using the import wizard and save it as a file-and then try to run the package from VB, the table schema is imported, but not the data. Any ideas? The same thing happens if I save the package in SQL Server and then try to run it from VB.

The Access database is on the server, and I'm running my code from a client.

Some of the Access tables have no data.

Trying To Create A DTS Package To Import Dbf Tables && Need Help

Mar 9, 2004

Hi There,
I am trying to create a DTS package that will import dbf tables. My problem is that the data was created back in the pre-dos 5 days, so to save room they took the dates and convert them to 2 characters.
Now I would like to import these tables and conver the date back. I do have a Function that I can run in FoxPro to "Unpack" these dates.


CODE
Function UnPackDate( cDate )

*!*PARAMETERS: f_datestr - Character (manditory). This should be a two
**!* byte string created with PACKDATE().
*!*
*!* RETURNS: A date from 1/1/1970 and 11/29/2126

If EMPTY(cDate)
Return {//}
Endif

Local nDate
nDate = (ASC( LEFT(cDate,1) ) * 256) + ASC( RIGHT(cDate,1))

Return ( CTOD("01/01/1970") + nDate - 8225 )

*================================================= ======================

Does anyone know how to take this function and make it work while doing an import?

Thanks

Editing An Import/Export Package

Apr 17, 2008

Hi,


First post, new to SQL Server, the usual apologies apply ;-)


I used the Import/Export Wizard in SSIS to define a source and target for data migration. I accidentally omitted ticking off a box to force the drop and re-creation of the target table. I can't find any way to edit a package, once I've finished with the wizard! If someone would point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

How can I point this manually imported package to the ConfigFile so everybody who runs it doesn't have to browse for the ConfigFile every time they run it?

DTS Package Error W/SaveToSQLServer - Type Mismatch

Apr 25, 2000

I am programatically loading a template DTS package that imports a text file to SQL Server. I change the properties (source, destination, ...), SaveAs to a new name, and then SaveToSQLServer. The package itself is good, I can programatically execute it and it works, but when it gets saved to SQL Server someting gets corrupted. When I try to open the package or manually execute it, I get a DTS Package error w/Description: Type mismatch. This problem is not constant. Sometimes dozens of packages can be programatically "Saved as" with not even one being corrupted. Currently, I am unable to get a single one to be successful.

This is a big problem for me because the package gets programatically scheduled to a Job in SQL Agent. I have placed the DTS "save as" creation into a loop that loads it and checks for an error. If the error occurs, it is removed from SQL Server and recreated. My loop is currently running forever instead of for seconds.

Help! What have I done wrong? What can I try?

Package Configuration Type - Environment Variable

Feb 19, 2008

Hello All -



Have you ever seen the error message below?



Description: The package path referenced an object that cannot be found: "Package.Variables[User::<variable_name>].Properties[Value]". This occurs when an attempt is made to resolve a package path to an object that cannot be found. End Warning Could not load package "<package_name>" because of error 0xC0010014.



Basically, I create a package variable under my User Namespace and this variable will tell what server the SSIS is running at. We first create a system variable locally and the SQL Server will have a variable with exactly the same name so that the server name will be evaluated through the package variable/package configurations when the SSIS is executing from a SQL Server job.



This way we do not hard code the server name... We always succeeded on doing that with DTS as well as SSIS packages but just now my package is running into this issue...



Since I did not change ANYTHING in the package, I am guessing this is not programming related and that something was changed in the server. However, the DBA was helpless over here and I have no clue of what this error means.



Any help would be appreciated.



Thanks, Gabriel.

Update Specific Fields With An Import (DTS Package)

Dec 15, 2006

Hello all

I am trying to import an XLS to a table in my database. Sounds simple, but the import should be an UPDATE, not an INSERT. In other words, I want to transfer data from the XLS sheet, to specific field in my database.

Let me explain more clearly.

I have an XLS sheet with a manager ID and a employee ID. The table in the database is already populated with all employee ID's but the field manager ID is still empty. Every employee has a different manager.

The import should place the manager ID's in the fields where the employee ID is the same as in the XLS sheet.

If somebody could please help me out, thank you!

Occasional Failure On SSIS Import Package

Apr 6, 2008

Okay ... so here's a head-scratcher.

I have a job that moves a file to import directory where the SSIS package picks it up and processes it. 95% of the time is works flawlessly and fast.

The other 5% of the time the process fails. It appears that the file is inaccessible to SQL Server. I run it again and it works perfectly. It appears to be completely hit and miss.

The last step in the package is on-completion delete the file. When the package fails, the file (as directed) is not deleted.

I've included a snippet of the error log. I can place the log out here if it would help more.

Any ideas what could possibility going wrong? I hate inconsistent failures.
