I'm using DTS to export a table. I need each record to be on a separate line, but I have a description field that is quite lengthy so it's not fitting on one line. Can someone advise how to accomplish each record being on only one line? :)

I'm using SSIS to export views & tables in SQL 2005 to csv files. My problem is that when I select that I want to use " as a text qualifier, it also uses them to surround non-text fields such as time/date and integer fields.
In SQL 2000 I used DTS packages and they handled the data without any issues.
Can anyone help?

I would like to export SQLServer data from a table to a text file within a stored procedure that is fired from an after insert trigger. In Oracle the is a UTL_FILE Package that does this. Is there any way to do this in a SQLServer stored procedure.

Hi.
I am writing a program where I import data into a database with a System.Web.UI.WebControls.SqlDataSource object, using its Insert method.
Like this...
Dim DataBaseConnectionString As New Web.UI.WebControls.SqlDataSource()
DataBaseConnectionString.ConnectionString = "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
DataBaseConnectionString.InsertCommandType = Web.UI.WebControls.SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text
DataBaseConnectionString.InsertCommand = "BULK INSERT TBLMain FROM '/file.csv' WITH (FIRSTROW = 2, FIELDTERMINATOR = ',', ROWTERMINATOR = '')"
DataBaseConnectionString.InsertParameters.Add("csvdatapath", OFDCSV.FileName.ToString())
Try
DataBaseConnectionString.Insert()
Catch ex As Exception
I have been able to get this working fine.
I need to export to (ideally) a .CSV or a .XLS. I have tried to use the:
Code Snippet (SQL)COPY TO '
esults.csv' CSV
Is it possible to use a simmilar method of interacting with the database through code to perform this?
Thanks
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 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).
I have a button on my winform that is exporting a sql table to a text file. It works fine but I have a few fields that are date (not date/time) but when it exports it is adding a time. Is there a way to just export the date that is in the table?
This is what it looks like after it is exported.

I just updated to SQL Express SP2 per this Feedback item:

Hi all,
I'm having an issue with data from an OLE DB source being converted from numeric [DT_R8] to text when I export it to Excel. I had the column in the spreadsheet formatted as Numeric, but when I set it up as the data destination, it is showing in SSIS as [DT_WSTR].
The SSIS job runs OK, it just converts my numeric data to text in the spreadsheet. I'm surprised that the job actually runs, since I have to do explicit data conversions for my OLE DB string data in order to convert it to unicode. From what I have read elsewhere, the decision was made in SSIS not to use implicit data conversion, but to require explicit conversion. Yet this export is converting my numeric data to text.
I would appreciate any information on how to set up the Excel Destination to properly handle numeric information.
Hi,
is there a way to force the numers to show in excel as numbers, not as text?
Thanks,

Hi. 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?
I was trying to export a report which contains a number format. When I do that, all the numbers in excel will have a green small tag beside it saying "Convert from Number to Text".
Is there anyway that I can change the format to a number when I export it to excel?
I am transferring data from Oracle tables into text files, and facing these errors.
1. I have a varaible working as an expression and my query goes into that variable and onwards that variable is passed to dataflow task, which parse the query. my query is simple saying "Select * from PLS.ABC" where PLS is my schema, but the task generates error "Opening a rowset for "Select * from PLS.ABC" failed. check that the table exists in the database. and surely the table is there.
2. I have a foreach loop that iterates through all the table names and the table names are passed onwards to the varaible query, the dataflow task inside the foreach loop gets the variable query and will generate text files based on tablenames which i have supplied in another variable to the connectionstring property of the flatfile destination. Is it possible or not. all the tables have different columns and i need the output in text files.
I have to create a search textbox where if i key in the word "dog",it will search against a field called "Name" in a table.Then it will return all records where the text/data in the "Name" field contains the word "dog".For example,it will return the records where the text/data in the "Name" field has words such as "hotdog","doggie","dog barking","big dog" etc etc.
Can i use simple SQL for this or do i need to configure the full text search service on SQL server 2000 and use the FREETEXT predicate?Thank you in advance for any replies.

I'm in a bit of a jam here and will appreciate any help.
I need the SQL code to replace a record if the record is empty.
For instance, I have about 7 columns containing over 40K records. In the firstname field, some records are blank. I need to replace all the blank firstname fields with this: 'now invalid' (without the quotes)
What would be the best way to achieve this?
Thanks

Hi all,
I am designing a DTS package instead of SSIS.
I have a text file and already uploaded to tableA, there is a field named NameID in tableA. The field NameID should match the NameID in tableB and update other fields of tableA, the non-match records will generate another exception text file.
How can i implatement this in DTS? Which task or tech?
thanks

Hope I am in the correct section.
I am installing a FTS system on an existing system (that used LIKE % queries!! hahaha)
Anyway, it is working pretty well (AND FAST!) but when I type in a
common word like "damage" I get like 32,000 records. Now, the
server handles those records in about one second but the ASP page that
returns the results takes about one MINUTE to download. When I
save the source, it is almost 12 MEGS!!
So, basically, I am streaming 12 megs across the pipe and I want to reduce that.
I would like the system to detect over maybe 500 records and cancel the search.
I have put a "TOP 500" into the search and that actually works pretty well but is there a better/smarter method?
Thanks!

Hi, got a problem and can't figure this one out.
basically i've got a field containing a value '(14)(12)(33)(22)' and i want to compare it to a table containing those values in separate cells...
record 1 : (01)
record 2 : (02)
etc...
and i want to compare this one field to those records to see whether that text string contains anything the table contains.
i've tried ContainsTable & IN but still can't figure this out.
any help greatly appreciated

All rows of a 1500+ record text file we have at work should be 512 spaces. Some are not and seem to be causing problems. I get half the records I should be getting on an import. When the DTS task comes across one of these records it takes it and appends them together and makes two rows one row. Any ideas? I tried making a table with one field of datatype char(1000) and tried to import into this table. I figured this would add any missing trailing spaces but no go.

Hi
I have a new client with an existing system that has just over 2 million business listings in one table. Each business listing is associated with one business category.
* Company Table (around 20 fields):
companyID
companyName
categoryID
state
postCode
etc.
* Category Table (5 fields)
categoryID
categoryName
etc.
We are using MSSQL 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services
A free text search needs to be performed on the companyName and categoryName limited by region (state and or postcode).
1) What kind of response times should I expect for the free text search (I have not used the free text search before)
2) How should I index the companyName and categoryName so they are both used in a joined query? i.e. Do I just configure the free text search index on each field separately and it should work?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Best Regards
Kevan
I have written up a grid consisting of properties and units.The way it works is we have properties, and within properties there are units. They are two seperate tables.Some properties do not have any units so in the unit reference (UN_UREF) column for those records which do not have units and are NULL I would like to insert the text 'NO UNIT'.Please see below for my SQL for the grid which works fine.
create or replace view VWC_PROPMKUNIT_TEST AS ( SELECT
PR_SNAM, PR_NAME, PR_ADD1, PR_ADD2, PR_ADD3, PR_ADD4, PR_ADD5, PR_ADD6,
PR_POST, PR_OWN, UN_UREF, UN_NAME, UN_GFA
FROM PROP
LEFT JOIN UNIT
ON PR_SNAM=UN_BREF);
All I need to do now is insert 'NO UNIT' within the Unit Reference column where it is NULL.

Hello
I am writing program in VC++ through SQl-DMO calls.My problem is when i when i tranfer(import) a text file(comma seperated) into SQl server through a SQl-DMO method called ImportData which is a method of Bulk copy object.Its is not able to convert the data field in the text file to corresponding value datetime in SQl server whereas other data types are working perfectly.
This is the record i need to convert:
90,MichaelB,Wintriss,Inspection,Paper,11,Job101,1, {ts '2000-12-10 15:54:56.000'},D:public233 and 247233.mcs,
There are about 1000 records like this .the text file is generated by SQl when i export data from Sql server tables.This file has lot of records.Now i need to put the record in the text file into SQl server tables.During which when i pass the text file it gives problem in converting date and time value.I cannot remove the bracket and ts as ,{ts '2000-12-10 15:54:56.000'} it generated by SQl server tables
and this is the date field
{ts '2000-12-10 15:54:56.000'}
Whereas if i export a table in SQl server in Binary mode and then import the file back it works but when do it as text it gives the above error
Pls help me in this i would be very thankful to you.
Note: I am using SQL Server 7.0 version

Hi,
My full text search on 2 millions records is taking time to show the result.
I have created full text catalog in RAM drive to make the retrival process faster.
But still its taking more than 1 minute to get the matching pattern.
I am using SQL server 2005. I have 2 columns (id,text) in my table..
This is my unique index script
USE [SAMPLE]
GO
CREATE UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [ui_productid] ON [dbo].[Products]
(
[id] ASC
)WITH (SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, DROP_EXISTING = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ONLINE = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]..
This is my primary key index script..
USE [SAMPLE]
GO
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Products] ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_Products] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[id] ASC
)WITH (SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ONLINE = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]..
This is my query..
SELECT D.[id], D.productname
FROM dbo.Products AS D
WHERE CONTAINS(productname, 'ford')
What should i do to show the result in 3-4 seconds.

I get error reports in simple text files like the one below in relatively the same format. The only thing that varies is the number error reasons as there can be any number of error reasons for a file. Usually there is only one but there can be a handful.

Hi
We are using the SQL Server 2005 Full Text Service. The data is not huge, but the kind of data is that each record is small and there are a large number of records. There are 35 million records now with 11 GB of data and about 1.6 GB of FT catalog on the table. This is expected to grow to at least 10 times the size of this data. The issue is with FTS taking a long time to return results when the number of hits (rows) getting returned from FTS is large for some searches, it takes a very long time. With the same data & catalog, those full text queries for less common words return timely. The nature of the problem doesnt allow us to only have top results. We need all the results. So it’s not about the size of data but the number of results getting returned from FT. (As the catalog is inverted). The machine is dual processor with 4 GB RAM.
I am considering splitting the table and hence the catalog and using multiple servers to do full text searches in smaller catalogs. Is there any other way this issue can be solved ?
If splitting is the only way, can you give me an idea as to what is a statistical/standard limit to the number of search results/cataog size as which FTS gives good results
Thanks in advance
