I'm trying to set up my first SSIS package to import a flat file to a
database table. The connection manager will not allow a text
qualifier.
My data is comma delimited, with doublequotes around each field. If I
enter " as the text qualifier, then I get the error "The preview sample
contains embedded text qualifiers ("). The flat file parser does not
support embedding text qualifiers in data. Parsing columns that
contain data with text qualifiers will fail at run time." The data in
Columns view shows as just one column rather than multiple columns.
If I leave the text qualifier as None, then the data in Columns view
shows as just one column again.
I've tried with more than one datafile, including a short sample file
that I set up manually. All files get the same error.
Has anyone else seen this problem?
Thanks much for any assistance!
Hi,
I have a flatfile which is of the following format. I want to import this data into the sql server 2005 database.
The alphabets at the start of each line represents the type of record. The data are position specific.

I have a text file that I'd like to import into a SQL 2005 table. The file is tab delimited, which is easy enough to import, but I'd like the final field broken into multiple fields as well. The final field is space delimited. I've had no luck at being able to get this done. Has anyone done this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a flat file that has fields delimited by tilde {~} and rows delimited by {CR}{LF}. The problem is, my source is spitting out the {NULL} (&H00) at the end of the row.
The data displays correctly in the pre-viewer (with a non-print symbol at the end of the last field), but gives an error when I try to run the package.
Example:
€œdata€?~€?data€?~€?data€?{NULL}{CR}{LF}
I can process the row in c# using:
€œ
€?
as the row delimiter. What is the equivalent notation for SSIS?
Thanks,
I'm trying to parse out a line of data that is separated by the text "atc1.", "atc2." etc.
For example,
[atc1.123/atc2.456/atc3.789/atc4.xyz/]
If I only want the data after atc2., then I could search the string for "atc2." and collect all the characters afterwards. But how can I make sure to trim off all the data after "atc3." to make sure I'm only collecting "456" from the example above?
Hi,
I have a package that reads a fixed width flat file data into a single CHAR column in an sql server 2005 table.
In the "Columns" tab of the Flat File Connection Manager, I set the RowDelimiter value to {LF} and nothing for the ColumnDelimiter (since I read the entire row from the flat file into a single column in my sql table).
However, in the "Advanced" tab, the ColumnDelimiter Misc property shows {LF}. This was working fine for me.
The problem I was facing was with some files which were recently identified to have rows containing a special character (probably ASCII ZERO) in the middle of the row. So, now if the record was having 400 characters and the 200 th character had this special character, the package was writing the first 200 characters into the sql table and ignoring the rest of the characters.
I am sure that the special character was ASCII ZERO - I wrote a script to read each character in the line and find the ascii code for it.
Has anyone faced this problem ever. If so, pls let me know your solution or any ideas that can help sort this problem. Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!!
Hi,
I have a function which takes a string and a delimter. It then splits the string by the delimter and returns a table of resultant strings:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[vs_SplitTags] (@sep char(1), @s varchar(512))
RETURNS table
AS
RETURN (
WITH Pieces(pn, start, stop) AS
(
SELECT 1, 1, CHARINDEX(@sep, @s)
UNION ALL
SELECT pn + 1, stop + 1, CHARINDEX(@sep, @s, stop + 1)
FROM Pieces
WHERE stop > 0
)
SELECT pn,
SUBSTRING(@s, start, CASE WHEN stop > 0 THEN stop-start ELSE 512 END) AS s
FROM Pieces
)
This works very well, other than instances of the delimter are, themselves, considered to be results. For example:
SELECT * FROM vs_SplitTags(' ', 'foo bar') AS result
returns:
pn s
1 foo
2 bar
which is exactly the result I would want.
However,
SELECT * FROM vs_SplitTags(' ', ' foo bar ') AS result -- There are spaces before 'foo' and after 'bar'
returns
pn s
1
2 foo
3 bar
4
And
SELECT * FROM vs_SplitTags(' ', 'foo bar') AS result -- There are two spaces between 'foo' and 'bar'
returns
pn s
1 foo
2
3
4 bar
I want the function to ignore whitespace altogether, be it a single space or multiple spaces. Other than to delimit the boundries between words, of course.
In other words, all three examples above should produce the same result:
pn s
1 foo
2 bar
How can I do this? Any thoughts much appreciated...
How can we get the result set as TESTING1,TESTING2 from below
DECLARE @MyString varchar(256) = '$I10~TESTING1$XYZ$I10~TESTING2$~'
Basically i need to get all the substrings which are in between $I10~ and $
We're having issues exporting a set of data from SQL to a fixed width flat text file by just doing a right click on the DB, then choosing Tasks > Export Data. You can not specify a row delimiter when you choose a Fixed Width format. The only way around this that we've found is to specificy char(13) and char(10) at the end of the SQL select statement. Without row delimiters you end up with 1 giant record rather than 20,000 regular sized records. Is there any other way around this that we're missing?
Using Ragged Right is not an option either since the record lengths will be inconsistent if the last field doesn't contain a consistent length to the data.
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
There is a small problem encountered while creating a package in sql
server 2005.
Actually i am using a flat file which has 820 rows and 2 columns which
are seperated by line feed(for ROW) and tab(for COLUMN).after
importing i found that ther are only 800 rows imported into the table.
Ather verifying the input file i found out that there are some null
values in the second column so there is no line feed for those
values.
Can anyone please help me how to give multiple delimiters for the same
input flat file.
I have the misfortune of converting a DTS package to SSIS that loads a flat file that has a text fields that can contain embedded text delimiters ("), column delimiters (,) and even new lines (CR+LF i.e.,hex 0D 0A) in it. A sample line from the file is posted here, remember this is just one line though it shows as three lines, since the third field has embedded new line in it:
4,"Sam","EVP; MARKETING PRODUCT MANAGER ""Level I"",
Internet Sales / HELP
8005551212",100
If you open in excel it handles it perfectly showing four fields, as below, and this is what I want ( I cannot get it aligned right in the posting, just save the above line in *.csv and open to see what it should be):
4 Sam "EVP; MARKETING PRODUCT MANAGER ""Level I"", 100
Internet Sales / HELP
8005551212"
Now, SSIS errors on the embedded text delimiters and breaks into two or three lines based on which option I chose. I have tried few options based on postings in the forum:
a). Using undouble and undoubleout: Does not work when there are embedded column delimiters (,) in the text field
b). Modified undouble script posted by lvovg at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1718225&SiteID=1. Handles the embedded column delimiters (,) perfectly, but the embedded new lines (CR+LF i.e.,hex 0D 0A) are breaking it.
Since, I am using the ragged right format to read from the file then use transform script on the line by lvovg, the line is already broken by the ragged right format at the embedded new lines, hence does not work.
Right now I am stuck. Can someone please help (anyone from MS) ? I am already baffled at the amount of coding required to convert a very basic ( and working ) flat file load DTS package to SSIS. I am willing to persist bit longer to convert this to SSIS, before I give up and stick with DTS and wait for a fix / workaround.
Thanks.
Hey Everyone,
I have a Data-Flow task embedded in a Sequence Container (does not fail component on error) on the Control Flow panel of the SSIS designer. This data flow task contains a connection to a Flat File Source -> A Data Transformation -> Into an OLE Db Destination.
The problem is that the Flat File isn't always delimited properly -> the client cannot be relied on to do this.
My question is when the delimiters are messed up, how can I capture the offending error row(s) from the Flat File Source?
What I've tried:
1) Set every column in the source flat file on error to: Redirect Row
2) Added a Script Transformation to pull the description and the record id out of the offending row
3) Added an Error file flat file destination to the end of the flow.
The package always fails on the Flat File Source and never Redirects the offending Row to the error output - I never see my onError Script Transformation go Green, Red, or Yellow - SSIS doesn't let it get there.
I'm really new to SSIS so sorry if this is a super basic question.
Here is the Error Text:
[Source - InventTable_csv [1]] Error: The column delimiter for column "RECID" was not found.
[Source - InventTable_csv [1]] Error: An error occurred while processing file "C:------InventTable.csv" on data row 15228.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: The PrimeOutput method on component "Source - InventTable_csv" (1) returned error code 0xC0202092. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: Thread "SourceThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0047038.
I do have the MaxErrorCount set to 1 on the Data Flow Task but still think I should see my script task execute and a log entry be generated.
Any Ideas?
Matt
