Exporting And Importing Sql Server Data Programmatically
Mar 12, 2008
I have a web application I created in asp.net + sql2005 and am deploying a genercized version of it to multiple clients. I have created a script which dynamically generates a database to a server and creates all of the tables, procs, and views. I now need data from the old database, which will be imported into the new database. It's basically default users, lookup values, etc. What are some methods of getting this data out of the old server and into the new server? I was thinking about generating flat files with the data, then writing code to loop through and insert the data, but it seems very tedious. Do I have any other options? I cannot use Backup and Restore because I have no access to the new sql server's filesystem.
Thanks.

I have installed ssms, and the toolkit.
When I right click on a database I don't have Import/Export under tasks. However I do have C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSBinnDTSWizard.exe installed and can invoke it manually.
What do I need to do to get it to show up in tasks?

I'm really new to the whole database deal (as well as VB.net) - specifically with the capabilities surrounding VB and SQL Server 2005. My question is open to any recommendations...
What I have is an application that a user uses to create 'new' products. They are presented a form to enter the information regarding the product they wish to create. They enter the details of the product and also locate an image that represents the product, too. Currently, this application saves the product information (including binary image data) into a SQL Server 2005 Express Edition database. This application and database reside on a client pc. What I need to do is to be able save updated and newly created product data into a file of some sort. That file will make its way to a memory stick (USB) and then be transported to a 'field' machine. Quite simply, what is the best way to do this? Are there walk-throughs on this sort of thing? The target database is also SQL Server 2005. I thought I'd post this question on here to get the best design ideas... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This may be a simple question with an obvious answer, but I'm fairly new to databases and I can't seem to find the right procedure.
I created a database on my machine. If I want to copy the information from this database (columns, tables, and entries specifically) from my machine to another SQL server on a different machine, what is the best way to do this without manually re-entering all of the information?
Is there a simple export/import of a database for transferring it from one server to another?
Thanks,

also i was wondering, that i have been reading that with this sp2 for sql server 2005 express you are able to use the dts wizard, is this true? i have a few databases in access that i would like to import into sql, would i have to create the tables first in sql then import or will the import also bring the tables & structure in?
thank you to all

dBase importing was handled by the import/export tool provide with SQL 2000. I see no way to import .dbf files in sql 2005 except to load the sql 2000 tools. I realize that the dbf format is old, but there is still a lot of stuff that comes in dbf and sql2005 needs to support this.
Where can I find an importer for dbf to sql2005?
I keep hearing lots of work arounds but nothing to explain why a common data format can't be easily imported/exported in sql2005 tools. Whats the deal?

Hello Everybody,
Not sure if this is the correct Forum, anyway lemme me know your views. I
have SQL Server running in two remote machines (in different geographical
locations). I need to import a database from one SQL Server
installation to another installation. What is best possible solution:
1) Transfering the .mdf and .ldf file from one installation to another installation
2) Generating the records of all the tables in the database to a common
file format CSV and then loading it in destination database. If this is
ok then how to generate import and export data using CSV format
3) Any other options?

Hello,
I'm fairly new to MS SQL & I have a problem copying tables from one d/b to another. When I do an import or export select Copy tables, the tables & the data get transferred, but all the Identities are set to NO. My D/Bs have 188 tables & it's a pain to reset all of them manually.
Is there a setting I don't know about that will transfer the tables & maintain the Identity?
(I'm using SQL Server Management Studio 9.0)
Thanks for your help - Breck Cogdill

I am currently redirecting lookup failures into error tables with ErrorCode and ErrorColumn. It works fine until I want to transfer data into the archived database. The SSIS pacakage generate by SQL Exporting tool is throwing an "duplicate name of 'output column ErrorCode and ErrorColumn" error. This is caused by oledb source error output. The error output automatically add ErrorCode and ErrorColumn to the error output selection and not happy with it.
I think the question is down to "How to importing/exporting data when table contains ErrorCode or ErrorColumn column?"

Hi all,
I am having data model diagram containing 150 odd tables in MS Office Visio 2007.The Datamodel Diagram even has the Relationships between the Tables.
Do we have any Procedure to export the Datamodel Diagram from the Visio to the Sql Server carrying all the relationships.
We are having the reverse engineer procedure to export database diagrams from Sql server to the datamodel diagram in the Visio in the same way, do we have any procedure to Export DataModel diagram from Visio to SQL Server to create tables with all the relationships?

Hi there!
This is a part of the XML file that I have:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" standalone="yes" ?>
- <NewDataSet>
- <xschema id="NewDataSet" xmlns="" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:msdata="urnchemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata">
- <xs:element name="NewDataSet" msdata:IsDataSet="true">
- <xs:complexType>
- <xs:choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
- <xs:element name="HdrStateProv">
- <xs:complexType>
- <xsequence>
<xs:element name="stateProvID" type="xs:int" minOccurs="0" />
<xs:element name="stateProvNme" type="xstring" minOccurs="0" />
<xs:element name="CountryID" type="xs:int" minOccurs="0" />
</xsequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xschema>
- <HdrStateProv>
<stateProvID>34</stateProvID>
<stateProvNme>Alabama</stateProvNme>
<CountryID>225</CountryID>
</HdrStateProv>
As you can see it just has all the 50 states and I have a datatable called HdrStateProv with three fields, stateProvID, stateProvNme, CountryID in my SQL Server Express. How would I import(map) this data there? I tried the sqlbulkimport KB article but does that not seem to work. Thanks for your time!

Using SQL Server 2005 Standard
The basic question
What is the best way to export data from an excel spreadsheet into a sql server table?
My Application
Getting data indicating hours worked from employee timesheets into a centralised DB, then running analysis reports on it.
The columns and datatypes in the excel sheet are as follows:
Week (int) | EmployeeID (int) | JobNum (int) | ActivityNum (int) | Hours (int)
There will be a new excel file each week that, once the employee has filled out the data, would need to be saved and exported to the sql table. The columns in the sql table are exactly the same as the excel table with the addition of a RecordID primary key column.
Can I create a macro button that they can push when they have completed their timesheet OR would it be better to tell the employees to save copies of their timesheets in a certain folder on the company network and then run a batch on all the files in the folder at the end of the day?
Or is there another more efficient solution? Would I use SSIS for this or something else?
I've never used SSIS before and am a newbie at SQL Server too.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

I thought this should be easy... but, so far it has not been. I want to export data from SQL Server using a query to an Excel spreadsheet. I'm using SQL Server ODBC for the source connection and a Connection To Excel as my destination source. The spreadsheet exists and has the first row with column names. My mappings and query work fine. I don't have any warnings before trying to execute. BUT it will not insert the data into the spreadsheet. Here are the errors I'm getting:
[Destination - TEST$ [28]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.
[Destination - TEST$ [28]] Error: Cannot create an OLE DB accessor. Verify that the column metadata is valid.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "Destination - TEST$" (28) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202025.
TEST$ is the sheet that I am trying to add the data to and I'm using Excel 2003.
My query is simple:
SELECT OrderDate AS Date, VendorName AS Vendor, Item AS Product, TotalCost AS Amount
FROM osv_Ordercaldwecs319
All fields have been converted to varchar although I started with not trying to convert them so I have tried both ways.
What is causing the errors? Where can I look to find the problem? I'm guessing it's a data conversion problem but I made everything varchar and no formating on the spreadsheet (although I've tried that as well)
HELP please!!!
Thanks,
Linda

I need to export data, from within a MSSql stored procedure to excel. Right now we use DTS, but its cumbersome and the users always screw it up.
I would usually just send the tabel to a .csv fiel and pick it up in excel, but I have a field that has preceding zeros and excel truncates them and uses a general fromat.
Any ideas
Thanks

Hi,
I'm new to SQL server. My huge data is there in DB2. I tried to import using SSIS import/export wizard, it does successfully with default datatype columns.
for example, If my DB table has numeric columns, it has been imported as "double" and if it is string, it has been impoerted as "nvarchar". Is there any way to have correct/equivalnet datatype import from DB2?

I am exporting data to database server from local server through Enterprise Mgr.
Data is successfully transferred along with table structures. Only problem remains with the fields which are set IDENTITY.
Even I tried to find out ALTER TABLE statement so that I can alter the tables using Query Analyzer but I found that setting IDENTITY through query is not permitted after SQL Server 6.5. Why so?
Is the any way to set IDENTITY fields without Enterprise Manager?

Hello,Our company often receives data from outside sources to add to our application. This data is usually provided to us in Excel, CSV, XML, etc. The files that we receive usually have different columns from the columns in our database, so we have to map these columns to our table structure to import.I'm looking for an application that will easily allow me to load up the data file (whatever type it may be), expose the columns in the data file, allow me to map these columns in our SQL server, then import the data. I know that this can be done as DTS, however I'm looking for alternatives. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

I have a Excel 2000 column which looks like this:
Column A
23456
234-67
2-56
354899865
When I create a DTS package to import this column, only the values without a hyphen get imported correctly..and a null value will show for the numbers that have a hyphen in it.
I've set my datatype to varchar, float, nvarchar, text, etc in SQL Server 2000...but nothing seems to work. I have also changed the datatype in my excel spreadsheet to text, general, etc.
I've tried so many combinations, I forget which ones I've tested...Anybody have an idea what I should try ?
Thank you

But after Importation it is showing Junk values. Please advise me what step I should take next.
