Is there a way to control the way Reporting Services exports the report to Excel? The actual report being exported is filling all the columns and lines with blank into the sheet. The report has only 600 lines and 5 columns and the final Excel file is about 3 MB in size because is filling the 65,XXX lines allowed by Excel.
Hi, I need to convert from mssqlto Postgres and I need to export all MS-SQL table data to a CSV or TXT file (one file per table)
Presumably, all data per row (of a table) must be in one line. Then when you copy to another database, a new line of data means a new row in the table.
However, MS SQL is exporting a large varchar text field as multiple lines. The data itself is many lines, so exporting it causes the data for one row to fall onto many lines.
My question: How do I escape new lines? When MS SQL exports the data, I want to replace all NEW LINES / carriage returns by /n or by <br> tag (since the data will be for web use).
(pls note I am not actually handling the ms sql database, so any response would be greatly appreciated as I advise the person in charge of the mssql db accordingly).
Does anyone know a wayto compress data between two database connections over "low bandwidth" lines in order to speedup datatransfer? Used connections are Oracle<->SQL2000 and SQL2000<->SQL2000.
Hi, I have a scenario, where I have a string column from database with value as "FTW*Christopher,Lawson|FTW*Bradley,James". In my report, I need to split this column at each " | " symbol and place each substring one below the other in one row of a report as shown below .
I have a Site 2509CRUZ2 and SB1931 that have Multiple Contract ID's assigned to them in the table. Which are in 12 font below. I need to create a script to take these duplicates and place them in their own view but not delete them from the table.
I'm trying to produce a chart that has both actual data values from a database and matching "line of best fit" plots on the one chart. I have 4 data series, 2 of the actual data values and 2 that represent the values for the "line of best fit". What I want to do is:
Plot the actual values just as data points (joining them with lines in meaningless) and Plot the "line of best fit" values as a line.
When I edit the data series on the scatter chart, I can see the "Plot data as line" option but it is "greyed" out.
Have I missed something really simple here or is this not possible. I'm using RS2005
We are using a table that may give 1 to and unknown number of data elements (ie. years) . How can we break this to show only three years in each row. Since we don't know the number years we really won't know the number of rows needed. Years are stored in their own table by line.
car make year1 year2 year3 A volare 1995 1996 1997 a volare 1997 1998 1999 b toyat 1965 1966 1968
We can pivot out the first X# but we don't know how many lines so we don't know how many rows we will be creating.
I have a sql server 2008 backend with an Access 2007 frontend database. Each time I export a query I get the following error:
Code: Microsoft Access was unable to append all the data to the table.
The contents of fields in 0 record(s) were deleted, and 1 record(s) were lost due to key violations.
*If data was deleted, the data you pasted or imported doesn't match the field data types or the FieldSize property in the destination table. *If records were lost, either the records you pasted contain primary key values that already exist in the destination table, or they violate referential integrity rules for a relationship defined between tables. Do you want to proceed anyway?
I don't know what if anything is actually missing because of the amount of data is more thant 6000 records. It seems everything exported but I would have to comb through the data to be sure.
Does anyone know if it is possible to point data that underwent the "merge join" transformation (in one data flow) to the following data flow? I don't want to recreate all that merging, sorting and calling the same sources again in the following data flow if the data that I am using exists in the previous data flow. The merged data is simply too big to export to an excel file, so does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
hi all, I am getting problem while importing data from excel file. I am bale to do the same with flat files. But when i do with excel files its throwing error : format error. pls help me in this regard. and How to export data into export files from query analyser..
I was wondering if there is a way to export and recode data at the same time with SQL.
For example I have gender information coded as 1 or 2 in my table and I need to upload the information to a different application that needs M or F. Is there a way to export to a new table and recode at the same time ?
I would like to export data to a excel file using a stored procedure. I'm not sure how to go about this or if it is even possible. Can someone point me to a link to show me how to do this?
I recently found out that there is no easy way to distribute a MSSQL 2005 database to MSSQL Server 2000. Most forums that I have read say to use the DTS facility to import the data into the SQL 2000, however this is not an option (for a variety of reason I won't go into).
The next best option in my mind is to script the entire database, including the data into one or a few script files then run them on the SQL 2000 server to recreate the database. Unfortunately, exporting the data, what I thought would be a fundamental feature, isn't part of SQL 2005.
So does anybody know of a good (free) scripting program that will allow me to export the entire database from a server? I've tried: - Free program from the CodeProject.com (program dies when there's more than 5000 lines) http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/ScriptDatabase.asp -SQL Scripter www.sqlscripter.com (Doesn't script table which don't have primary keys, and produces a script for each object instead of just a single file)
I'd probably like a program which only creates a single script, as the database has over 200 tables and I don't want to have to go through this process everytime I need to distribute the DB (which will be often).
The only other option I can think of is a program which converts an SQL 2005 backup to a 2000 version.
I'm trying to export data from SQL. Can anyone help. I have commented my script below and have managed to create a table, insert using 'bulk insert' - now I want to export the data out. I'm getting an error message saying 'cannot use the output option when passing to a stored procedure'.

I want export data from Excel to new SQL Server table,
select * into mytable FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=c:sample1.xls;HDR=YES', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]')
But i am getting following error message
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'Sheet1$'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.". Msg 7350, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Cannot get the column information from OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
1. I need to be able to export data from a database to an excel sheet (I have written the query and tested it works, so I don't need to know this stage :^)). What is the best way of doing this? Could you send me a link of a howto doc?
2. Once the data is export to excel, it then needs to be manipulated so that a final sheet is created. During the manipulation I need to add the values of certain columns to give me an end result.
Should I use excel to manipulate the data or can sql add the values of certain columns and then export to an excel sheet?
I want to export data to CSV that is nested. eg.Poll 1,val1,val2 Question1,Q1val1,Q1val2 AnswerQ1A1,Q1A1val1,Q1A1val2, TallyQ1A1 AnswerQ1A2,Q1A2val1,Q1A2val2, TallyQ1A2 Question2,Q2val1,Q2val2 AnswerQ2A1,Q2A1val1,Q2A1val2, TallyQ2A1 AnswerQ2A2,Q2A2val1,Q2A2val2, TallyQ2A2 AnswerQ2A3,Q2A3val1,Q2A3val2, TallyQ2A3
Best practices-wise, what should my data end up like? Since it's nested surely it can't be simply a list of identically-formatted rows, one for each answer: Poll1,val1,val2,Question1,Q1val1,Q1val2, AnswerQ1A1,Q1A1val1,Q1A1val2, TallyQ1A1,Poll1,val1,val2,Question1,Q1val1,Q1val2, AnswerQ1A2,Q1A2val1,Q1A2val2, TallyQ1A2,Poll1,val1,val2,Question2,Q2val1,Q2val2, AnswerQ2A1,Q2A1val1,Q2A1val2, TallyQ2A1,Poll1,val1,val2,Question2,Q2val1,Q2val2, AnswerQ2A2,Q2A2val1,Q2A2val2, TallyQ2A2 Do I end up with three separate tables? Poll1,val1,val2 Question1,Q1val1,Q1val2, Question2,Q2val1,Q2val2 AnswerQ1A1,Q1A1val1,Q1A1val2, TallyQ1A1,AnswerQ1A2,Q1A2val1,Q1A2val2, TallyQ1A2,AnswerQ2A1,Q2A1val1,Q2A1val2, TallyQ2A1,AnswerQ2A2,Q2A2val1,Q2A2val2, TallyQ2A2 If that's so, do I simply concatenate them in the final file? Or do I have three separate files? And do I label them uniquely such as Poll1Main, Poll1Questions and Poll1Answers so that I can export several polls side-by-side without overwriting each other?
Hi I am trying to export data from SQL which is ok and I can do that part. However from the result of the query I need to add the values of certain columns. Because I'm a newbie to SQL I'll explain and try and show images as best as I can as we go.... So far I have written a query select Stockitem.code, Warehouseitem.ConfirmedQtyInStock, Warehouseitem.UnConfirmedQtyInStock, Warehouseitem.QuantityAllocatedStock, Warehouseitem.QuantityAllocatedBOM, Warehouseitem.QuantityAllocatedSOP, WarehouseItem.WarehouseIDfrom WarehouseItem INNER JOIN StockItem ONWarehouseItem.ItemID = Stockitem.itemidINNER JOIN BinItem ONBinitem.itemid = stockitem.itemidwhere WarehouseItem.WarehouseID = '3403' AND BinItem.BinName LIKE 'S%' AND BinItem.BinName <> 'S' OR BinItem.BinName LIKE 'T%' AND BinItem.BinName <> 'T'order by stockitem.code This returns the following results.... Code ConfirmedQtyInStock UnConfirmedQtyInStock QuantityAllocatedStock QuantityAllocatedBOM QuantityAllocatedSOP WarehouseID 12345 96.00000 .00000 .00000 3.00000 13.00000 3403 Now I am trying to find out the amount of freestock available for everything with the WarehouseID 3403. Therefore in the example above to be able to workout how many '12345' (Code) we have in stock, the equation used to find out the free stock available is as follows.... Free Stock = (ConfirmedQtyInStock + UnConfirmedQtyInStock) – (QuantityAllocatedStock+ QuantityAllocatedBOM + QuantityAllocatedSOP) Therefore if I manually use the equation above the amount of freestock available = Free Stock = (96+0) - (0+3+13) = 80 (free stock). Then once I have the equation to be able to output the 'freestock' quantity, I need to export the results into an excel spreadsheet with the following layout... ColumnA Code,FreeStock 12345,80 Hope I've explained this in a good manner, any help would be gratefully received. Simba

Hi all,I've seen this noted in many posts, but nothing I've checked out givesme any clue on how to do this.Basically as my topic says, I have a DTS and I simply need to exportsome data from a table in MS SQL 2000 to an Excel spreadsheet. I alsoneed to automate this process so it can run nightly and each new day anew spreadsheet will be on a network share for us to pick-up.Can someone point me to the right direction?

How can I keep the primary key in the copied tables ?
I am new to using the Web Services interface of the SSRS 2005, and would like to know if there is a way to export the resulting data of a report as XML. Note that the Reports I have are composed of Charts, mainly Dundas Charts. I would like to export the data behind the Chart as an XML string for example so I can work with it independantly. Has anyone done something similar? Any guideline is appreciated...
