Exporting To File Using BIDS
Nov 5, 2007
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!
Mike

I've been working on package configurations here, mainly trying to figure out what works, and how. If I use an XML configuration, and and don't specify the path, ie just typing in test.dtsconfig, it creates the config file on my desktop. When I execute the packge in BIDS, it seems to be looking in that location. If however, I execute the package manually on the filesystem, test.dtsconfig must be in the same directory as the package (which is what I would expect). Why does this work differently in BIDS. Also, if the package is deployed to a SQL server, where would the configuration file need to be in this case? Thanks for the help.

Hi all,
I'm totally new to SQL Server 2k5 and need to do something rather basic: import some CSV files into tables. I'm getting translation errors and would like to know what's the best way to cast the strings before inserts.
I'm doing the import in BI Development Studio.
Current situation:
Created connection managers to csv files
created SQL server destinations pointing to the tables
connected them directly with a dataflow path
Ran the packadge: one import went just fine, the other one complains about conversion errors like "Conversion DT_STR and DT_I4 not supported"
Both tables have the same kind of fields (varchar, float, datetime, int)
I looked at converting the data using a transformation but am somewhat confused of which one to use.
What's the best way to transform the data before insert: derived column, import column or data conversion? Or something else I overlooked?
TIA
Peter

Hi,
I have a problem that's baffling me. I have a package that loads some files into the database. If I run it from BIDS, it works fine. But if I run the package from the job, I get this error:
Cannot open the datafile "D:myFoldermyFile.TXT".
It seems like a permissions issue, but the job runs under a local admin account, and not to mention, the very same package/job reads and loads files from this exact same directory, with no problems.
Halp.

I'm exporting reports daily to a file share and I need to rename the reports with a pseudo time stamp.
Example: I have a report named "Disk Usage" and when I export (using a data-driven subscription) I want to rename it "Disk Usage - (Jan07)" - or something to that effect.
Can anybody tell me how to accomplish this.

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!!
Thanks,
JD

SQL 6.5
NT 4.3
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 have a request from a vendor to export data out of my SQL Server 2K database view to a 'flat fixed file'.
What kind of file is this exactly, not a .csv ? Does EM have the capabilities through the DTS wizard, by choosing the output to a text file and fixed width ?
Thank you

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).

Reading through the forums, I found some great imformation for importing/exporting an excel spreadsheet via a stored procedure, however, the amount of data I have won't fit in excel. Can someone help me export a CSV file via a stored procedure? I don't know if XML is the answer or if there is another way. I am able to use Bulk for an insert of a csv via stored procudure, although it doesn't allow me to use a variable for the file name and pass it in. We are currently using SQL Server 2000.
Thank you,
Stacy

I am trying to setup ssis data flow package to export a smalldatetime field to just date only. I have changed the dattype to datbase date [DT_DBDATE] AND ALSO [DT_DATE] but it still exports datetime format. What is the best and easiest way to setup flat file connection manager to only export date and not the time. Do I have to add another setup to convert to date only?

I'm trying, through the SQL 2005 Mgt Studio, to export a simple table in a delimited format. I'm selecting a double quote as the text qualifier. My expectations were that only text type fields would be exported with the double quotes an numerical fields would not have any quotes around them. SQL 2000 does this just fine, but 2005 is exporting all my text type and numeric fields with double quotes. Is this a change to SQL 2005 or am I doing something wrong.
Thanks for the help,
Tim

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.

Jenson

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

Hi All,
Having trouble getting this to work. Been using a bunch of code from sites (including this one), but just can't get what I want. It seems so simple, but just can't get it.
So, instead of showing what I have, I'd rather see what someone usually uses.
I'm using Windows Auth, am going to use a 'SELECT * FROM DB.dbo.Table', and I want overwrite the outputed file each time it runs. And if the file doesn't exist - create it. I would also like it to be TAB delimited, and use quoted identifiers (""). And nulls will output as null (will be imported to another SQL Server by means I don't know of - and can't find out). They'll need to come back in as Null on the other side.
Also, I'd like to see errors if there are any.
I do appreciate any help.
Thanks ahead of time,
Denvas

Hi,
I am using a DTS package to extract data from a table and export it to an excel file. This task needs to run on a weekly basis and the filename should contain the date the file was created. I have sucessfully used the activex scropt below to rename .txt files but when I try to use it for Excel files it always defaults to the default filename I specified in the destination file properties. Can anyone show me how to do this for Excel files?
'**********************************************************************
' Visual Basic ActiveX Script
'************************************************************************
Option Explicit
Function Main()
Dim sFilename, oPkg, oConn
Dim sYear, sMonth, sDay
If Month(Now) > 10 Then sMonth = Month(Now) Else sMonth = "0" & Month(Now)
If Day(Now) > 10 Then sDay = Day(Now) Else sDay = "0" & Day(Now)
sFilename = "\servernameD$Daily ReportsFlagcodes " & sDay & sMonth & Year(Now) & ".xls"
Set oPkg = DTSGlobalVariables.Parent
Set oConn = oPkg.Connections(2)
oConn.DataSource = sFileName
Set oConn = Nothing
Set oPkg = Nothing
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
End Function

Hi Friends
I have been trying to solve this problem for the last 2 days but no luck.
Here is the problem that I am facing.
The task on had is to transfer data from a single table (the source) to multiple files (Destination) based on the record type.
I have tried changing the Datasource property of the Text File Connection object dynamically by using an ActiveX Script. But the data is still being written only to one file.
Can anyone please help me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
Please ignore my ignorance, but I was wondering if someone could help me out a bit?
I'm trying to export the results from a stored proc, to an csv file.
So for example, I want to run this query:
SELECT TOP 10 pkID FROM myTable ORDER BY pkID DESC
and I wanted it to be saved to:
C:spExport.csv
How would I go about doing that?
Hope you can help :-)

I need to export data from multiple tables into one single file. The big problem here is that the tables will have different column types.
I am attempting to create something that allows users to be able to send me the contents of their tables's, through either email or ftp. I would prefer to make it easier for them so they only have to deal with one file, instead of the multiple files that bcp and dts create when exporting from multiple tables.
I was thinking of using DTS or BCP and then join (append) the files (either zip them or append the files together in some fashion), but I was hoping that there was an easier method out there.
Any ideas on how I may accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.

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?

which throws the data into a csv, but the issue is I also need to compress the file down in a .rar file,
can this be done in a SP while still executing the above bcp ?

When exporting a report to another format, say excel,PDF; the file name is always set to the report name. Our client has a requirement where whenever a user exports a report to pdf, the timestamp of when the data of the report was made should be appended in the filename. Is there a way to do this in Reporting Services ?
example : Report name : Testreport
Exported file should be : Testingreport-November-22-2007.pdf
please help me in this
