Unix, Windows For Unix, And Direct Read Of .mdf File This Is A True Story
Sep 13, 2007First, let me start by saying I know the answer to this, but due to politics any answer I give will be viewed with some disdain and disbelief.
A Unix/Network [rtdpmin one our sister agencies is trying to solve a problem that really does not need to be solved, but ....
The sister agency uses Information Builder's WebFocus on Unix. When they try to read my data warehouse in SQL Server 2000 it times out on them (on their end and they claim they cannot fix it) (This is using the supplied WebFocus ODBC/JDBC driver for SQL Server). This has lead to accusations of us not letting them read the data.
After much gnashing of teeth over "if you do data and data analysis for a living, why do I have to show you how to set-up an ODBC connection" we have shown them how to connect to the data, read it, and transfer it using MS-ACCESS, EXCEL, and more importantly SPSS. This is not good enough because they cannot figure out how to put it into WebFocus.
Their network person has come-up with the brilliant idea of reading the .mdf directly by installing Windows for Unix on the Unix side and then just pointing to the .mdf file and "reading it ".
Unless I have missed something somwhere (I will admit possible), I know you need a driver to read MS-SQL and that driver in every example I have seen could care less about the physical location of the .mdf file. It wants to know what database, what server (ip or name) and what security/login to use.
Could someone give me a more "technical answer" or even Microsoft's party line so I do not have this person mucking around with my production server trying to acomplish the impossible.

Convert Data File Type From Unix To Pc Using Stored Procedure?
Jul 14, 2006Hi, I have a script written in ASP to load data file (.csv) to ms sql. In the script, I have a portion of script looks like taht :
.....
Do While NOT oInFile.AtEndOfStream oOutFile.WriteLine Replace(oInFile.Readline, chr(13), vbcrlf)Loop
.....
After that, I will use a BULK INSERT to input data to ms sql.
I am wondering how do I convert each row (data) to vbcrlf in Stored Procedure? Coz' I did not compose the convertion part, and I got no error when running BULK INSERT, but no rows are inserted :( HELP!!!!
I guess it's because the file is not being converted into a correct format??
How To Create UNIX Format Files Using Flat File Connection Manager?
Dec 17, 2007Hi All,
How to create a text file in UNIX format using Flat File connection manager. By default when we create a connection manager for flat files it is taking "CRLF" as the delimeter.
I beleive the format of the file will be decided based on the control line feed character at the end of each row. There are different control line feeds for different operating systems.
CR - Mac OS (Carraige return)
LF - UNIX (Line Feed)
CRLF - Windows. (Carriage return Line Feed)
Correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks in advance.
Specifyin The Row Delimeter As Newline (Unix Style) In Bulkinsert Format File
Sep 28, 2007Hi,
I am bulk inserting the data from a file into a table using the following format.
9.0
1
1 SQLCHAR 0 10 "
" 1 MSISDN SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
This works perfectly for me.
But my problem is that the firmat may not be generated in Windows and i can't user "
" as row delimeter.
It could be generated in Unix and want to use LF as the row delimeter.
Questions :
1) How do i specify this kind of new line (LF ) in formatfile?
2) Is there anyway that i can specify both the delimeters and let it use which ever is appropriate ?
Please provide some inputs on this??
Thank u so much

SQL 2012 :: Log File Data Transfer Amount (MB) Versus Data File Transfer Amount (MB)
Mar 19, 2014In the full recovery model, if i run a transaction that inserts 10MB of data into a table, then 10 MB of data is moved in the data file. Does this mean then that the log file will grow by exactly 10MB as well?
I understand that all transactions are logged to the log file to enable rollback and point in time recovery, but what is actually physically stored in the log file for this transactions record? Is it the text of the command from the transaction or the actual physical data from that transaction?
I ask because say if I have two drives, one with 5MB/s write speed for the log file and one with 10MB/s write speed for the data file, if I start trying to insert 10 MB of data per second into the table, am I going to be limited to 5MB/s by the log file drive, or is SQL server not going to try and log all 10 MB each second to the log file?

How To Transfer File Correctly?
Mar 12, 2008Hi
Basicaly this is isituation: Software that our company developing (in Visual Basic 2005 .NET) is supposed to deliver files to sever and get them from it over Internet. In database those files are stored as image files. But the problem is that when Internet connection is slow or unstable the data transion seems to srew things up. Therefore file that is saved in database is corrupted and when i get it back from db it's not possible to open it.
Question is this: How to ensure safer delivery of large data (large meaning up to 4 MB). Is there any strategy that is recommended or proven to be best there is to this point.
Our first guess was to make MP5 based checksum in software and send it with data and then on serverside make a new checksum wiht MP5 and check if those two match. Since I've never done this I wanted to know (in case you dont know any better way)
*) what would be the code to use in order to make a MP5 checksum form Image and *) what the best best type of data for MP5 checksums (in tables and stuff)
Dynamic File Location For DTS Transfer
May 2, 2005Does anyone know if this is possible:
I have an FTP server that will be receiving files. The directory
and file structure will be a folder with a client name (can be called
anything) and it will have files in it (these files will have the same
filenames as all the other directories. So I will have folder
JimmyDoe with files a.txt, b.txt, c.txt and I will have JonnyDue with
files a.txt, b.txt, and c.txt.
Now I'm trying to figure out a way to get that dynamic file location to
a DTS package so I can import all the data from the text file into a
SQL server. The way the SQL server will be set up is that each
Folder from the FTP site will be a separate Database and each file will
1:1 with a table with the same name..
My biggest issue is figuring out a way to tell the DTS package the file
location to pull all those files and then importing them to the proper
database.
I'm not limiting the solution to DTS packages so if .NET can be
incorporated to make it easier then so be it. But keep in mind I
can have up to 200 folders with 12 - 20 text files ranging from
hundreds of rows of data to many thousands of rows. And the
package needs to be ran twice a day so time/performance is an
issue.
To recap: Need DTS package that uses Dynamic file source and transfers data to Dynamic database destination.
(And I'll write slow VB.NET code to handle this before I create/manage 200+ DTS packages as a solution)
Any help at all is greatly appreciated.
Realtime Flat File Transfer
Apr 18, 2007Firstly I am not a programmer; and this is the first time I have used this forum
I am working with some friends who have been assisting.
I am developing a product that is importing data into a sequel data base, and the data is being recorded in real time but posted at minute intervals. The data is then being exported to a local flat file again at minute intervals each row containing about 50 columns.
Currently the whole file is being imported across the internet and it all works fine. I am using analysis services to look at the data every two minutes. As the file grows this time becomes longer. What I want to do is only import the latter portion of the flat file, say the last 144 rows there are 1440 rows per day.
What is the most efficient way to do this? Duplicated records would be a disaster.
Ideally the number of rows to be collected would be variable not fixed at 1440, these rows would be added to the main table that will probably contain up to 1 years worth of data i.e. 1440 rows * 365 days with approx 50 columns.
Any comments to point me in the right direction would be appreciated.

File Transfer From Deskop To PDA Thro TCPIP
Jun 11, 2007Hi All,
I am trying to pass a text file from desktop machine to PDA thro TCP-IP protocols. It follows Server (on desktop machine) and Client (on pda) architecture. File is converted to bytes and will be pushed to network stream. The client on PDA will receive the bytes and store it on queue and writes the file on PDA. The operation is accomplished through threads on both Server and client. Applications are developed on MS Visual Studio 2005 (C#).
For large files like 1024 KB or having lines about 15000, it takes around 15 minutes. Can anyone give a better idea to transmit files from desktop machine to PDA using TCP-IP protocols.
Thanks in advance

Need To Remove Jounal File After : Transfer/apply To Secondary Db
Jul 26, 2004We are using log shipping and we would like to remove all transfered and applied journal (in the primary box).
We have the intentionto use a trigger like this :
CREATE TRIGGER del_log
ON log_shipping_plan_history
AFTER INSERT
as
declare
@lastfile nvarchar(256)
SELECT @lastfile=i.last_file
FROM log_shipping_plan_history e INNER JOIN inserted i ON e.sequence_id = i.sequence_id
where i.activity=1
begin
if IF (@lastfile <> NULL)
...
... remove file (using xp_cmd for example...)
...
end
but the problem is that we have only the last file transfered and applied that will be removed
(some time, more that 1 file are applied in one shot ...
see num_files column in log_shipping_plan_history).
Any solution to remove all the files generated before the last one given by the query ?
Any other solutions (sql wizard gives the possiblity to to remove file after a laps of time 1hour, 1day...).
I am looking for the table that contains all the journal files (that we can see when we try to retore a db) ?
Thanks

How Do I Transfer Tables From Remote SQL Database To Local MDF File?
May 7, 2008Hi all,
Currently, my (small) intranet site is storing it's data on a remote SQL server. The danger with this, as has happened several times now, is that the application is twice as vulnerable; if either the webserver or the dataserver malfunctions or is unreachable, the application won't work.
I only recently discovered the possibility to use local database files (MDF files), and this seems like a much better solution for my site. But now I want to transfer the tables that are residing on the dataserver, to the MDF file. The database only contains tables. How do I handle this? I do not have access to the dataserver, only to a few databases that are residing on it. Is this possible using Visual Studio 2008? I have read about a "Bulk Copy Program" (bcp) which is included with SQL Server, but I cannot find a download for just that application.
Or is this totally not the way to go? I've discovered MDF files are a bit more problematic with concurrent connections; having tables open in Visual Studio results in "Site offline" or "Cannot open database" error messages on the website. Problems I've never had to deal with using SQL Server, but they are only minor problems.
Thanks,
Peter

Attempt FASTLOAD If Error Perform Regular Data Flow Transfer And Redirect Errors To Text File
Feb 15, 2008
I'm having problems designing a package to attempt to execute a fast load data transfer but failback to regular speed with error redirection in the event of an error.
The way I designed this was to add one data flow task to my package called "DFT FASTLOAD". The data flow copies a table SRC to another table DEST in the same SQL Server database. In the error handler for the data flow task I copied the original data flow task and changed the name to "DFT REGULARLOAD with Error redirection". In this data flow task I did not use fast load and addtionally redirected errors to a text file.
In the Data Flow Task "DFT FASTLOAD". I am copying from a varchar source field(with non-date strings) to a datetime destination field to force errors. However the Data Flow Task "DFT REGULARLOAD with Error redirection" never seems to start transferring data from source to destination. The data Flow Task "DFT REGULARLOAD with Error redirection" turns yellow (after the error occurs in "DFT FASTLOAD"), but no data is being transferred). It seems like it hangs.
Do I need to increase the MaximumError Count or something? The data flow task "DFT FASTLOAD" does not turn red when the error occurs it just remains yellow, so i assume I'm on the right track since it seems the error is caught.
I have added screenshots ... hopefully these screenshots will clarify my problem.
