Hi guys,
Would any of you be able to provide some guide on how am I going to export the selected data (multiple rows and columns) into Excel or CSV file?
Or at least export into Text file, which I can later on save the file name as .CSV, so it become a CSV file after saving.
Thanks.

Can someone assist me with the following....
1. I am attempting to export data from a SQL DB (single table using a query) to a "flat file".
2. I would then like to take this "flat file" and import the data into a different SQL DB (same schema structure as first DB).
Unfortunately this has to be done in two steps.
Thank you for your help.

I am trying to find a convenient way to export parts of tables to text
files.
One way I see is BCP: Is there a way to avoid writing the command and
options into the command prompt by hand? I.e. a way to write the
commands into a text file and then to execute them?
Are there other ways? I`d like to find a way that a user who uses a web
interface can use.
Is there a way to send the text files via mail to a remote user?

I'm using SSIS package to export some data to a comma delimited CSV file. The problem is that some of the fields have commas in them. Is there a way to deal with this other to changing the delimiter?

Greetings, everyone.
Does anyone know of a tool or a method of extracting the following information to a flat file?
Schema (tables, keys, etc.)
Options
Security
Triggers
Constraints
Stored Procedures
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Normally, whenever I've wanted to export data to a file (which is very rare that I do), I have used SSMS. Yes, I'm sure there's a way to do it in T-SQL, but I've just done an export using the SSMS wizard.
But that appears to me to no longer be available in SSMS 2012. So, how is it done from SSMS 2012? Or is it only done using T-SQL/DDL?
I am looking a way to export SQL Server 2005 DB tables to Access file dynamically. Like if i have added or removed any tables from SQL DB then when i run SSIS package it should export that table with data to Access file. is there any easy way to do this. if it is not them please someone please tell me which controls should i look at and which technique i should use to do this.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am curious what the "best practice" is for exporting data programmaticly from SQL Server to Excel. Is it best to do it straight from SQL Server, or should I do it with in my C# code? My program is going to pull the data, put in the excel file, then email the file. So I could write an SP that gets the data and puts it in the file, then have the C# code run the SP and email the file; Or I could have the code do everything, pull the data, export it & email it.
If it is considered better to have the SP do it, why and what is the best way? ROWSET functions?
I am using Office 2007 beta. I have a SSIS package that exports the records from sql server to excel file, when number of records is less than 24000 then it exports well, but if number of records is greater than 24000 than it does not export anything to excel file.
But when I give administrative privilages to the service account under which the SSIS package is running, it export even more than 24000.
On prod server giving administrative privilages to service account is not a good option. I don't know what are the minimum permissions it needs while exporting more data into excel 2007 file.
I thought this is the problem in office 2007 beta, but same behaviour is with RTM also.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
There's a lot of information on importing data from text files, but not a lot on exporting data to text files... I've checked but found no info on this.
I'm trying to export data from SQL Server to a fixed-width flat file and wondering if I'm doing it the right way.
I use a view as source (using a OLEDB connection manager) and I can see the data without problem.
I defined a Flat File Destination (using a flat file connection manager). When setting up the flat file connection manager, I am asked for a file... Does this mean one should create manually a template file with the desired output format? So I used a production file as template since we're replacing an existing process.
After having set up everything, I run the SSIS only to see all the data on the same row. There are no CRLF...
When I create the file connection manager, there's no way to mention the row delimiter. In the properties I see a "Row Delimiter" field and when I try with "{CR}{LF}" it makes no difference. Interesting to note that, contrary to the HeaderRowDelimiter field, the RowDelimiter field has no drop-down control to give choices.
So I had to return the CRLF as the last field of the source view (SELECT .... ,'CRLF' = CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) FROM ...) to make it work.
Seems odd... Is it the way to go?
Thanks
I have problems when exporting data into Excel file from SSIS. It all works fine with numeric columns but an apostrophe is attached at the beginning of each text cell. I tried using derived columns and data conversions but it didn't work. It seems to me that problem is in 'excel destination' task... I saw many people had this kind of problems too... Is there any solution possible?
Thanks.
I have a table that I am exporting via a SQL server table to a csv file, via the flat file connection manager within SSIS. My issue is that one of the fields in my table contains "," (commas), so when the file is created it creates new columns in the csv file because the field is "," comma delimited on the column. Is there anyway to get round this without having to get rid of commas in my table (which I've tried and works)?
View 12 Replies View RelatedHi. Im new to SQL and I need to export a SQL table as a comma delimited text file which is straight forward. However two of the fields are integers and I need these to be right justified with zero's.
In Access I would use something like format(columnname, "00000000") to get it to work, but SQL Server doesn't like this.
How can I do this?
Hi,
Question pls. I have an MS SQL local package where it exports data from SQL table to Excel file. My question is, how can erase all the records in my excel file before i export the new data from SQL table?
What i want is to delete the rows in the destination file before inserting new records.
Thanks a lot.
I writing the data from sql table to flat file destination. I want to insert the record count in the first line of the destination file.
Record count must preceed 00.EX . Writing 4500 records from database should show 004500 in the first line of flat file.
I have an execute task to store the count in a variable now.
I need to be able to export a data file as flat file (.txt) with fixed columns for use by Mainframe.
I will be uploaded this file using the Windows File Share Option
Render Format does not have .txt, but does have a data feed option. So I will try that.
But, I do not see an option for fixed column width.
Hi all. I have a few Excel sheets with a large amount of data, and i wish to export them into the SQL database. I have already made some tables, but currently all i can do is copy and paste into one individual cell, and thats not the best way of doing it. Any ideas? thanks.

good morning,
I want to load data that i receive everydays from my customers in .xls file format (excel) or cvs file format, to the database that i have created on this purpose. but when trying to do that whith SSIS; i got an error message .... that i can't import redudant data in my database column.
Best regards.
Hi guys
I am trying to create a package in BIDS that reads data from a table and exports it into a flat file (.csv).
The file needs to have a row for the header and a row representing the column names as well as the data rows.
My problem is:
1.I need to add a value in the header row that is a count of all the data rows.
2. I need to add the year and period based on the year and period in the data rows. (the year and period will always be the same in the data rows)
below is an example of what I want the file to look like (it is a delimited file)
1;Varese;O027200702ACT;F1_V4;BATCH;2326;test company
CUSTOMER_ID;BU_ID;YEAR_ID;PERIOD_ID;ACTIVITY_ID;SCENARIO_ID;ACCOUNT_ID;DATA_UNIT_ID;DATA_VALUE
000001;ZA01000001;2007;2;01;1;70;ZAR;.04
000001;ZA01000001;2007;2;01;1;912;ZAR;6080374
000001;ZA01000001;2007;2;01;1;941;ZAR;-.16
The value in bold represent the values that i want dynamically updated...
200702 represents a concatenation of the year and period
2326 represents the number of data rows
Thanks a mill!

Hi,
I have a report returning about 50000 rows, when i export this into excel it takes a few minutes and the file size is about 13MB, When i try to open up a 13mb file it is so slow...it is better for me to execute the dataset in SQL analyser and copy the results directly into excel whereby the file is 8mb and opens up also instantly...
My exported version is just data and no graphics however the page appears to be ''white'' although i set the fill in excel to transparent...maybe this is making the file hard to open...
Anybody have problems with exporting to excel and actually able to use it without running into long delays due to the file size...what can i do to fix this
thanks
Hi,
I have 2 very similar copies of a report. The only difference between them is that they point to different datasources. The report is fairly simple and contains a table with a group header and a detail row. Report A exports fine, however Report B does not export the values of the header row. I've tried a variety of output options to try to get the value in the export file, but all I get is textbox1, textbox2, etc. Does anyone have any ideas on what else I can check? This one report is the only one that is giving me trouble! Thanks in advance!!

I have a record set I have to export on a weekly basis into a CSV file for a customer/client. One of the fields being included in the export is a TEXT field. When I export this field, the CSV file is truncating the record significantly.
Is there a way I can get the export to pass all the data in the TEXT field, or is this a limitation on the data transformation, or is it a limitation on the CSV file (because of the size/nature of the TEXT field).
