Greetings
I'm trying to use the BULK INSERT command in SQL Server 2005 to import a file with a column delimiter of ASCII 01 and a row delimiter of ASCII 02. Here's the command I am using:
I don't understand why the row terminator isn't working? Please give insights in to following error message.

Using the DTS wizard in SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager, a DTS Package can be saved as a Visual Basic file. If a row terminates with a {CR}{LF}, the appropriate .ConnectionProperties("Row Delimiter") = vbCrLf is included on or around the third line of the package connection information for the text file.
I have two different files that I cannot import using the saved VB file. One is a .txt file with a carriage return {CR} as a row terminator. This imports fine using DTS but not from VB. The row delimiter is omitted when the package is saved. I have tried adding the connection properties using vbCr, {CR}, and CHR(13) as the row delimiters, but none of these will import the file from VB.
The other file, and the solution for this file can be used for the previous file, is a .dat file exported from SAP (I do not have access to pull the data directly from the Oracle servers into SQL). If the file is opened in a text editor, it contains no row terminator. DTS allows me to specify where the row ends and imports the file, but, once again, this property is omitted when the package is saved as a Visual Basic file. Unable to find a list of possible .ConnectionProperties, I have tried "Row Length", "Row Width", and every other possibility I could think of, but the file will not import. The records are 429 characters in length.
I've run a process that extracts data from a SQL Server 2005 DB and outputs the data into a pipe delimited .txt file. After the file has been created I'm trying to insert the data into tables. The insert is failing because of some type of rowterminator character that is appearing at the end of each row. Has this happened to anyone else? How do I get rid of that 'rowterminator' character? By the way, in textpad the character looks like the page return character, something like a backwards P. In notepad it appears as a 0.
Update - the row terminator is coming across as an ANSI character. How can this be passed as a bulk insert parameter??
Hi there, I'm trying to import a cobol file (.dat) which has a line feed as the row delimiter. Using the TransactSQL Bulk Insert with a row terminator of '' is not working for me. Does anyone know the equivilant row terminator of a LF? (Using the Import Export wizard I supply a {LF} and it likes that fine). I would like to use the Bulk Insert Statement for more control of the data. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hello all,I have a multiple text files with an odd row terminator. If you were toexamine it in VB it would be like a "CrCrLf" instead of just "CrLf". InHEX it is DDA instead of just DA. When I am trying to import into mytable using BULK INSERT I use "" as the row terminator but that isputting the the previous character into the column and then it signalsa carriage return when I attempt to query the data.Any suggestions on what I should use as the row terminator? Is itpossible to tell BULK INSERT to use something like "CHAR(10)"?"" does NOT work.Thanks in advance.
I have a file that has fixed row size of 148 and fixed column size, but the file has no end of line character. I know it is wierd but a client has made the file and refuses to change the format. So I am stuck with reading it the way it is. In Enterprise Manager, I used the Import/Export wizard and I specified fixed length and it let me specify 148 as the lenght of each line. Then it recognized the file and I was able to read it in. I saved the DTS package and I can run it over and over again using dtsrun. However I want to do the same thing using Bulk Insert. How do you specify fixed row length for Bulk insert and how do you give it individual column lengths?
I have a CSV file that I am trying to bulk load into a temp table. The data in the file is all jumbled together, as in, there does not appear to be a row terminator. However, I do see a bunch of little rectangular boxes that I assume are the row terminators.
When I run the bulk insert, the data is treated as one string. For example... If I have 10 columns in the table, the 10 columns will be populated, but the remainder of the data is dumped into the last column.
Here are the row terminators I have used so far that haven't worked.

How do SQL 2000 service packs play a role in upgrading? That is, can SQL 2000 Standard with no Service Packs(SP) be upgraded to SQL 2005 Standard, or does SQL 2000 Standard have to have a certain service pack??
First of all I am planning to install sql 2005 standard and sql standard sp2 on vista ultimate professional using vs 2008 pro I have some questions about installing sql 2005 what is the best way to install sql 2005 on vista My article I got this from ms 403393 (upgrading sql standard 2005 to sql standard 2005sp2) 1 sql standard .(shortcut right click from cd/dvd not possible) I have heard command prompt start menu, click cmd type run D: cd/dvd exe From a wizard (sql sp2)

I will be using default configurations for my installations......... I often wish there would a nice picture examples of doing this Please help
I've inherited a SQL 6.5 server running on Windows NT 4.0. An application was written (I believe in VB 6.0) to access tables on the server. From the documentation that I have received, I believe that the Security mode for this server is supposed to be "Standard". When I first got my hands on the server, the security mode was set to "Integrated". I have since changed it "Standard" but the users still get the same error:
Connection failed: SQL State" '08004' SQL Server Error: 18450 [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Login failed. User: MCLEANC Reason: Not Defined as a valid user of a trusted SQL Server connection.
I looked in the Microsoft Knowledgebase and read an article on SQL Server Error 18450 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q164167). I followed all of their suggestions but the server still seems to be stuck in "Integrated" mode.
Does anyone know if it is possible to go from the Enterprise edition of SQL, back to Standard?
In other words, Enterprise Edition is installed, but what we really want is Standard. Is there any way around this, other than uninstalling and reinstalling SQL?
I currently use SQL 2005 express advanced. I connect to it from approx 20 pc's simultaneously and all works well. Each "client" connects with the same user, therefore I have one user setup within SQL server and then all client pc's connect to the database with the same user and password. This works well.
Owing to the database file size restriction of 4 gig, I now need to purchase full SQL 2005 Standard.
My question is, if I buy SQL 2005 Standard with 5 CAL (client access licences) does that mean that I can no longer connect my 20 client pc's to the server at the same time, even though I am only actually logging in with 1 user only?
Any help is greatly appreciated as I can't seem to get an answer to this question via microsoft at all, and a 20 user licence of full sql 2005 is beyond my budget.
We are in the midst of developing/upgrading an online store in ASP.net 2.0 that typically gets about 100,000+ hits per week and we are considering MS SQL 2005 Express as its free to use. My question is how will MS SQL 2005 Express support so many concurrent visitors and will MS SQL 2005 Standard / MS SQL 2005 Workgroup be a better option as far as performance?
I'm trying to setup SQL Server 2005 Express to communicate through a non standard port. I can connect to SQLServer on a remote machine using port 1433 when it is set as such but when I change the server to another port and try and connect using SSMSE I can't get through. I'm specifying the ip address and a colon followed by port number to connect.
For example: 123.123.123.123:1234
Any ideas?

Server OS is 2003 R2 EE x64 Sql is 2005 Std sp2 with hotfix 4 way processors 4 GB of RAM
I reading that all x32 configurations do not apply... pae , awe enabled etc....
after sp_configure ..sql is set to 2gb max memory setting. Does this not have to be increased for sql to see more memory .. I've confirmed that OS can see the 4GB but don't think SQL can.
Does 'AWE enabled' still haveto be set up (or anything else)with this setup to optimize memory.
Hi,Anyone know an online source for database schemas, or schemas for singletables i.e. where can I download a schema for an addresses table?--Richhttp://www.badangling.com -= Sea fishing badly explained =-
Hi;Is there an **easy** way to tell tsql apart from standard sql?Will sqlserver run scripts written only in standard sql?What about variable definitions?Thanks in advanceSteve
Is there any way to create a local database cache from an SQL 2005 database that uses non standard schemas (like AdventureWorks). I have tried in Visual Studio 2008 but any database that does not use .dbo will not allow any tables to be copied locally. Even setting the default schema for my login does not enable adding any tables in the Configure Data Synchronization dialog box. If it is not possible via Visual Studio is there any other way? I notice all examples with Sql Compact conveniently use Northwind. Seemingly Compact edition does not support non .dbo schemas.
I am reaching the end of my 180 eval of SQL Server and am ready to "upgrade" to the standard edition. My question is this: is it possible to purchase a copy of SQL Server Standard with just 1 CAL? All I seem to see are 5-CAL and 1-Processor packages, but since I am the sole user of the database, additional CALs are not necessary.
if one has purchased enterprise edition of sql server, could he install the standard version instead of the enterprise one without violating software license?
I have built a simple package using the Microsoft OLE DB provider for DB2 with SSIS Developer. If I schedule this on a Standard SQL2005 machine the package will not run. The error is blank, just says it had an error. Can I not run this package because the provider is not installed on this machine? If so is there a work around for this?
How are you, I was wondering if I could uninstall and reintall sql server standard and upgrade to enterprise edition.
What i mean..
We have 10 computers running sql server standard. We want to upgrade them to enterprise edition bc there are another 10 machines with enterprise.
Would we have to uninstall standard edition before installing enterprise. Or could we just install enterprise edition over standard
Has anyone done this? Compatibilty issue?? We are doing it remotly as well, some machines in NC, some in Vegas, some in Cali. So all will be done through RDC.
After trawling a lot of on-line info I'm still not sure....
With current system configuration of WS2003 (64-bit) Enterprise, 8 GB RAM and SQL2005 (32-bit) Standard can SQL use all available RAM?
From my reading I have found references to SQL2005 (32-bit) Standard can access all RAM available to the OS and other references suggest that only SQL2005 (32-bit) Enterprise can do this...
I have a 32-bit Windows Server 2003 Enterprise server with 8GB memory. I have enabled the /PAE switch in boot.ini and the server sees all 8GB. have installed SQL 2005 Standard and set the awe-enabled option (including maxmemory setting to 6GB, minmemory to 1GB). The account running SQL has the 'lock pages in memory' option enabled. For some reason SQL doesn't use anywhere near 6GB (seems to sit at 1.7GB). Anyone have any ideas?
I'm using SQL 2005 Standard Edition with the Management Studio Console CTP but I can't seem access DTS functions. Is DTS available in this edition of SQL?
