Export To A Text File, Then Name The Exported File The Date Is Was Exported, Then Zip
Jul 3, 2007
Hi folks
Any help on my request would greatly be appreciated. We are trying to maintain the growth of a particular table, by exporting and deleting data that is older then 90 days. Here are the 4 steps I need to do. I believe I know how to do 1 and 4;
1. Create a job that continously exports data that is older then 90 days to a text file
select *
from table A
WHERE (CREATED < DATEADD(DAY, - 90, GETDATE()))
(the column 'created' datatype is datetime and looks like this '3/5/2007 3:11:44 PM')
2. Have the job automatically name the exported file, the day it was exported (i.e. 07032007 (todays date))
3. Then zip that file (we're using 7-zip)
4. Then delete the data out of the table
delete
from table A
WHERE (CREATED < DATEADD(DAY, - 90, GETDATE()))
Im not a big scripter/coder, so I was wondering if there is anything I could do in SSIS. Im more familiar with DTS, so any kind of baby steps you could provide in SSIS, would go a long way.
I export a table to excel file by using DTS. It seems the date field show as ###### when I open the excel file. If I expend the column I see the date. Is there any way I export in away that this date field will not show up as #####.
Our customer wants to display the exporting date only in the exported file when exports a report to PDF/Excel (we are using ReportViewer Control in ASP.NET). Can anybody tell me how to achieve this?
Hi, for some AP issue, the file I upload must be without the line feed/carriage return in the last line. for example:
original fixed-length file (exported from SSIS) line NO DATA 1 AA123456 50 60 2 BB123456 30 40 3 CC123456 80 90 4 <-- with line feed/carriage return in the last line
The file format that AP request. The file only has 3 records, so it should end in the third line. line NO DATA 1 AA123456 50 60 2 BB123456 30 40 3 CC123456 80 90
Should I use script component to do it ? I am new for VB . Anyone would help me ?
Hello, I am new to this sql server reporting server technology. I have a requirement like the table header should repeat in all pages of the exported excel's print preview. So I have created the header columns with fixed lenths as same as table's header in the page header of the report. Then only the Header will repeat in all pages of the print preview.
But the problem is when doing like this, many of the columns have been merged together. The report layout is ok. But cant sort the data. It says a message "This operation requires the merged cells to be identically sized."
In some forms i have found the header control's edges need to be sized identically with the tables' columns edges. I did it. But still the columns are merged when exporting.
I have a report in which some links navigate to other reports.
If i export the report in Excel format. The Excel file also contain hyperlink what i have created in report. If i click the link in Excel file, it is directing to reportviewer to open that link.
But i need to export this report in Excel format with hyperlink disabled.

I am using expressions for the textboxes in the Table control Header, because the header names should be displayed in both English as well as in Japanese based on the language selection.The report works fine and all the render formatts except CSV are working fine.when i export this report to CSV, the header names are not coming in the first row of CSV , but some other textbox names (eg textbox 34..) are being displayed on the first row of CSV.From second row onwards, i am getting the header names seperated by comma and the data is being displayed.This header names are being repeated for all the rows in the CSV along with the data.Please give me a solution regarding this.
I tried by setting Data Element as "NO" from "Auto".I could stop the header names being repeated from second row in CSV, but i couldnot get the names in the first row of CSV.
I need to have all the header names as first row in csv and from the second row, i need data.
My environment is Windows 2003 Server(japanese)+SP2 and SQL Server 2005(English)+SP2

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.
I am using SSRS 2005 on a development server. The access is over https. Whenever a TextBox of a report contains a vbCrLf and this report is exported to PDF this text is garbled. Text not containing CR LF is ok.
The text is still latin characters but has nothing to do with the text intended to show. Character spacing is broken. Sometimes more than one character are rendered over each other.
I do not have the same problem on a production SSRS box.
The only difference is that the development box has .NET framework 3.5 installed and production is still on 2.0
Is this a known issue? Maybe there is already a patch?
I have recently converted reports from Crystal Reports 10 to RS 2005. These reports are run daily via a SQL job and exported to PDF files, where users are able to view them.
A user pointed out to me that in the PDF's exported from Crystal Reports, they could select text, starting with the first row of data, and highlight each row by dragging the Adobe Selection tool down the page, row by row.
Now, with the PDF's exported from RS, when you try using the selection tool to highlight each row by dragging down the page, it appears to randomly highlight rows in no particular order.
I am exporting SSRS report to Excel I am aware that excel doesn't show footer , It shows in print preview but my footer has text box which have text disclaimer more than 255 characters, the data getting truncated.
What is the easiest way to accomplish this task with SSIS?
Basically I have a stored procedure that unions multiple queries between databases. I need to be able to export this to a text file on a daily basis and add a total records: row to the end of the text file.
Using SQL 2005. Need to create fixed lenght text file from table. Was able to create the file, but all the data was in one big line. Selected fixed length with field names. How can I get my text file to have field names, fixed lenght with each record on it's only line. Thank you. David
Anbody please help I am trying to export a text file to a table using enterprise manager and all tasks But the process keeps adding strange charater like squares at the end of each line and also replaces each empty line in the text file with a record in the table with that square type character. I used the following code to delete all rows with that character (as a work around) but no joy. I am losing hope.
I am new to ssis. I try to create a package completely by vb.net to export a table in sql server to text file. i got the following error while i run the package,

I got this code from another one of the MSDN forms. When I run the report and try to export using this format, it still gives me a csv file instead of tab delimited file.
Can someone please help me fix this code so I can get tab delimited text files. Thanks a lot, -Rohit
Dear all, I am trying sql server reporting service 2005. I made one simple report through business intelligence project and deployed that project to report server. now when i trying to export to pdf or excel or any option. it only get hanged, does not export.
I am currently not able to identify problem.
Please suggest some idea where i am going wrong Thanks
I have a problem when I try to export my report to a PDF file. Definitely what you see in the Report Designer is not what you get when you try to export it to a PDF. My biggest problem is with a table. When a cell contains a long text, and when its content is exported, part of the text is shown in the next cell in the created PDF.(I don have any error message, no overlapping, nothing) So, I would like to know what happen. Is there anything I can do... I have checked all the properties of the table, but it seems that everything is ok....
Well that´s it , any help/opinion/sugestion/coment I will aprecciate....(sorry for my poor english)
Export to Fixed width text file I am trying to export a table to a fixed lenght text file, there is only flat file option and that does not put LF/CR at the end of row, is there any solution?
When using DTS (in SQL 7) to export via OLE DB a large varchar to a text file, it clips it at 255 chars. No other data access drivers seem to work, either. This is lame! I cannot use bcp as a work around, because i want to use quoted comma-delimited, which it doesn't support, and I am using query-based export, where the query calls a stored proc, which bcp also doesn't support.
Are there any new versions of MDAC that fix this? Anyone know a workaround? My current hack fix is to split my field into 2, but this is a grubby fix that hassles my reciptients.
This is a pretty fundamental limitation to a major product!
Hi, I need to export data from SQL server 2000 database into text file uisng ç Delimited. Because my destination database will be teradata. Could you let me know if you have any method for this. Thanks
I need to export data from a table to a text file, where the data in the table is deleted after written to the file. It is simple using DTS, but I want to do the export in "chunks" of data, committing the delete say after every 1000 rows.
My thought was a stored procedure would be easy enough to do this (done these in Oracle many times), but I don't know the quickest way to export a row of data from a stored procedure to a text file. Isn't using a command-line shell too slow? What are my options?
Hello, I'm beginner in SQL and I would like to do a simple thing : Extract data from different table to a text file.
