What is the best tool for converting data in to MSSQL 7.0? We get our data in dataflex format and currently use data
junction to migrate the data into tables in sqlserver. Can DTS do this and also include and scrubbing or translation script?
Please point me towards some good trusted (possibly economical) Data Conversion tools for converting legacy system SQL 2000 (XML, Image all data type) db data to SQL 2005 database (and possibly to Oracle too) in a totally different db schema/structure.
I am extracting data from SQL Server 2005 to flat file destination. I am using SQL Command to specify the data selection query. One of my query uses Replicate function to derive a column value. When I execute this package it fails with the error "Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "value" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page".
The reason for the problem is that, it is taking the InputColumnWidth of the flat file destination as 8000 and I specified the OutputColumnWidth as 4.
If I change the OutputColumnWidth to 8000, it is working without any error but resulting in the column width of 8000.
I tried using DerivedColumn Transformation's Type cast and DataConversion Transformation but still I am getting the same error in the respective Transformation components.
The installation SQL 2008 R2 Management Tools on a Windows 7 workstation fails with the error, The specified account already exists.

I am running SQL Server 2005 x64 Enterprise under Windows 2003 x64 Enterprise. My current backup strategy uses T-SQL jobs run by SQL Agent (writes out *.bak files) and then I have an Integration Services job that copies the *.bak files to our NAS device. I have performed a restore without issue. The jobs are all automated every four hours via SQL Agent. Is this a sound strategy or are there additional benefits to using 3rd party tools? If so, what are the advantages and which tool provides them?
"pRecordSet" is an ADO recordset. The database column "MyColumn" is of type "decimal(19,10)".
The most important question for me is, if the regional settings of the database server or the regional settings of the client PC are considered during the conversion from the string to the decimal value. For example in standard French regional settings the "." would not be recognized as decimal separator.
I am also wondering if the language of the database instance, in which this data is saved, is considered during this conversion or any other settings of this database instance.
So my general question is: Does anybody know exactly what rules apply during the above mentioned conversion?
Login failed for user 'TOSHIBA-USERASPNET' I know that the file persmission for the web application have to include aspnet, so i keep resetting the folder permission for aspnet in file manager, but the login failed keeps coming back every day or two problem is after working with VS05 Pro, SQL Server Management Studio CTP, somehow the aspnet persmission get changed, use alot of sqldatasource wizards and often there is a conflict/hang between the datasource wizard and the need to have the mdf in a dettached state within VS server explorer, not sure but the procedure to fix this seems to be to reboot, detach and re-attach the mdf in the Sql server Studio tool, re-apply the aspnet file permission on the web app folders (wonder should i be doing this in IIS instead), make sure the mdf within server explorer is detached, the it works anyway, getting real tired of the resulting delays and design time derailment, clues greatly appreciated, thanks sometimes i can use View in Browser when in VS05 form view and i wont get the aspnet folder permission error and other times i do. last thing, is it a bad idea to give aspnet full permission for the entire web applicaiton??
I have an odd problem that is driving me nutz. I have a very simple SSIS package that imports a 5 colum flatfile into a sql Server 2005 Table.
When I created this package with the wizzard, it will execute perfectly fine and processes all rows into the destination table.
But when I hit F5 to execute it manually it will fail before inserting a single row.
The error it generates is (Spalte 5 is a Datetime in the format DD.MM.YYYY) :
Error: 0xC02020A1 at Datenflusstask, Source - Daten_NC_1_txt [1]: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "Spalte 5" returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
Error: 0xC0209029 at Datenflusstask, Source - Daten_NC_1_txt [1]: The "output column "Spalte 5" (25)" failed because error code 0xC0209084 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "Spalte 5" (25)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
Error: 0xC0202092 at Datenflusstask, Source - Daten_NC_1_txt [1]: An error occurred while processing file "C:WorkDaten_NC_1.txt" on data row 177.
Edit: Modified the Title so it properly reflects the Problem & the Solution
Does anyone have experience in migrating data (not structure) from an Oracle 7.x database to a new schema built on SQL 6.5? Especially using third party migration tools, for example Data Junction 6.5?
I would be interested in seeing any materials you can provide or advise as I start down this path.
I have another issue. I have an excel file that I pipe through a "data conversion" task. I have set all the column data types to strings, because there's no way to know beforehand if a particular column will be number or text because the file is very non-standard (it looks more like a formatted report).
After the data conversion, I send all the rows to a script task. In the script task, I do a check on the numeric fields.
for example:
If Not IsNumeric(Row.Price) Then
Row.Price_IsNull = True
End If
However, this check fails each and every time, even if the field contains a number! I don't have this problem when using flat file sources.
So, none of my numeric fields are getting loaded to my ole db destination.
Help, is there a way around this? Or am I forced to just skip this number check altogether? I'd prefer not to.
What tools has everyone used for cleaning name and address data(including identifying not-immediately-obvious duplicates) inconnection with a CRM project or the Customer dimension of a datawarehouse? What did you like/dislike about the tool you used? Howcustomizable was the tool you used?
i have a database for an application, which has some particular fields in some table. i want to make sure that data update in those fields should be only thru the application, and no one (even dba) should be able to update data in those fields thru sql tools.
this is to make sure that no body is updating the field except the users thru the application. as these fields contain infor about "approval" of documents.
For prototyping purposes, is there a tool that reads a database's schema and generates (simple) table editor that allows manual editing of data. It would be good if the tool somehow made it easy to add foreign key values to reference data e.g. gender, status, ...I can kind of do this using Management Studios "Edit Top 200 Rows", but I was wondering if there is a more user friendly tool out there.
Is there - apart from the notorious RESTORE HEADERONLY - an tool which is able to tell which SQL Server version created a specific BAK file? I'm looking for a tool that can be used w/o an available/running SQL Server installation.
Alternatively, is there any documentation about what is read with RESTORE HEADERONLY so I could write a tool myself?
Where would I find the version "bytes" in a BAK file?
Some of the data files on our database got corrupted. Is there any tool to get just the data out of the data files and dump somewhere. We can manually rebuild the database using the schema scripts and loading the data. Appreciate any help. Any suggestions are welcome too.
I've been testing a variety of database schema migration tools. Ourcompany purchased Embarcadero Change Manager a while ago but we'vebeen less than satisfied with the results.We are looking for a tool that can compare a source/developer databasewith a target/client database and then make the necessary changes.The tool will need to update stored procedures, tables, indexes,constraints, etc. The tool will also need to make the changes in thecorrect order based on dependencies and relationships.Anyone have any recommendations?
There is a table in which the data is coming in a massive rate, what are the ways to move those data from that table to another DB in another server (kind of archiving).
I am running the Office Professional Plus 2007 RTM with all options enabled and SQL 2005 Developer Edition on my local box. Based on the system requirements listed on the download page for the Office 2007 Data Mining Add-In, I've also verified that I have the correct CTP of SQL 2005 SP2 and that .Net 2.0 Framework is installed. Finally, I've verified that my local instance of SQL Server is configured correctly to allow temporary data mining models.
In Excel, all of the Table Analysis tools seem to work fine, and most of the options on the Data Mining ribbon also work; however, all of the options under "Data Modeling" on the Data Mining ribbon return the following error when I try to use them:
"Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.DataWarehouse, Version=9.0.242.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependents. The system cannot find the file specified."
I've tried uninstalling everything and reinstalling, but I still get this error when I try to use the Data Modeling options.
Right now, I'm only working against the sample data provided when the data mining add-in is installed.
I am trying to transfer all jobs from one instance to another by using data tools. However, once i tried to make smo connection i am getting this error;
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server.
In order to solve this issue i have tried these solutions;
1. SQL Server should be up and running. (OK) 2. Enable TCP/IP in SQL Server Configuration (OK) 3. Open Port in Windows Firewall (FW ACCEPTS ALL LOCAL PORTS) 4. Enable Remote Connection (CHECK OUT THE sp_configure SETTINGS, i even right-click instance then see from properties ) 5. Enable SQL Server Browser Service (sql server browser has been restarted) 6. Create exception of sqlbrowser.exe in Firewall (FW ACCEPTS ALL PROGRAMS) 7. I tried windows and sql authentication which has sysadmin role 8. INSTANCE name is also chekced millions of times
I have a bunch of packages in msdb. Is there any easier way to move those packages from msdb to DataTools/BIDS, instead of adding one package at a time using ADD option.
We've been trying to use CozyRoc components in SQL server Data Tools. It seems like way to insert Cozy Components has been changed for SSDt as we're not getting CHOOSE ITEMS option in ToolBox(Right Click on Toolbox).link or Video where SSDT was used to Cozy Components.
