Hi again all,
Is there a way to read a file name automatically from a network folder? I can successfully bulk insert from this particular folder. The next step is as I add files, I wish to bulk insert the latest file added so the program must make that determination and import that specific file. I can delete the older files if necessary and save them elsewhere but it would still be nice to be able to read the file name. I then wish to store the name of this file, whatever it is, into a field called "SourceFileName" in my table that I am bulk inserting into. Does anyone have an example in dynamic SQL? Thanks.

I am using Microsoft SQL 2005, I need to do a BULK INSERT from a .csv I just downloaded from paypal. I can't edit some of the columns that are given in the report. I am trying to load specific columns from the file.
bulk insert Orders
FROM 'C:Users*******DesktopDownloadURL123.csv'
WITH
(
FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
FIRSTROW = 2,
ROWTERMINATOR = ''
)
So where would I state what column names (from row #1 on the .csv file) would be used into what specific column in the table.
I saw this on one of the sites which seemed to guide me towards the answer, but I failed.. here you go, it might help you:
FORMATFILE [ = 'format_file_path' ]
Specifies the full path of a format file. A format file describes the data file that contains stored responses created using the bcp utility on the same table or view. The format file should be used in cases in which:
The data file contains greater or fewer columns than the table or view.
The columns are in a different order.
The column delimiters vary.
There are other changes in the data format. Format files are usually created by using the bcp utility and modified with a text editor as needed. For more information, see bcp Utility.

Hello,
I am trying to read in from a csv file which works like this:
DECLARE @doesExist INT
DECLARE @fileName VARCHAR(200)
SET @fileName = 'c:file.csv'
SET NOCOUNT ON
EXEC xp_fileexist "' + @fileName + '", @doesExist OUTPUT
SET NOCOUNT OFF
IF @doesExist = 1
BEGIN
BULK INSERT OrdersBulk
FROM "' + @fileName + '"
WITH
(
FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
ROWTERMINATOR = ''
)
END
ELSE
print('Error cant find file')
What I want to do is check another table before each line inserts, if the data already exists I want to do an UPDATE.
I think i can do what i need with a cursor but I think the bulk update just pushes all the data up and will not allow me to put in the cursor.
So is there a way i can read the csv in a cursor instead of using the bulk insert so i can examine each row?
Is it possibel to run a DTS job to read a file from unix server?

Newbee question: I am trying to use some of the "101" samples in VS 2005 with SQL Server 2005. These samples use SQL server express MDF files.
The error is: "... you cannont open a database that is incompatible with this version of sqlservr.ext. You must re-create the database."
Do I need to install SQL server express? What are the issues with installing express when I am already running SQL Server 2005?
How do I update or "re-create" the express MDF database file in SQL Server 2005?
Thanks!

hello!
i'm an sql server beginer. i was wondering if some of you guys can help
me out. i need for the sql server to be able to read an outside file (just text) and be able to run a script that will insert it in the database. it's a dcc output file. we've tried running this script:
DROP TABLE tests
go
DECLARE @SQLSTR varchar(255)
SELECT @SQLSTR = 'ISQL -E -Q"dbcc checkdb(master)"'
CREATE TABLE tests (Results varchar(255) NOT NULL)
INSERT INTO tests EXEC('master..xp_cmdshell ''ISQL -E -Q"dbcc checkdb(master)"''')
and it's running good but the problem is the results of the dbcc here did not come from a file but directly after executing the dcc command. is there a way to do it?
thank's for the help!
Hi
i want to access a CSV file using OpenRowSet function in SQL Server 2005.
Anyone having any idea; would be of great help.

I'm trying to use Bulk insert for the first time and getting the following error. I think it might have something to do with my Format File and from the error msg there's a conversion error for the first column. In my database the Field is nvarchar(6) so my best guess is to use SQLNChar for the first column. I've checked the end of each line is CR LF therefore the is correct for line 7 right?
Msg 4863, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

I am trying to load a fixed width text file using `Bulk Insert` and a XML format file. I have used the same process and XML file on another fixed width, except with less columns.
Error
Msg 4857, Level 16, State 1, Line 16
Line 4 in format file "PATHCaddr.xml": Attribute "type" could not be specified for this type.
SQL Server Table

addr_line2varchar(max),
street_novarchar(max),
[code]....
I wasn't sure where to put this topic so I put it here since I figured it is a question that would apply to virtually any version even though I am using SQL Server 2005.
We have a vendor that sends us a fixed width text file every day that needs to be imported to our database in 3 different tables. I am trying to import all of the data to a staging table and then plan on merging/inserting select data from the staging table to the 3 tables. The file has 77 columns of data and 20,000+ records. I created an XML format file which I sampled below:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<BCPFORMAT xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2004/bulkload/format" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<RECORD>
<FIELD ID="RetNo" xsi:type="CharFixed" LENGTH="6"/>
[Code] ....
The data file is a fixed width file with no column delimiters or row delimiters that I can tell. When I run the following insert statement I get the error below it.
BULK INSERT myStagingTable
FROM '.........myDataSource.txt'
WITH (
FORMATFILE = '.........myFormatFile.xml',
ERRORFILE = '.........errorlog.log'
);
Here is the error:
Msg 4832, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

Overall goal: Write a Bulk Insert statement using the UNC path of a filetable directory.
Issue: When using the UNC path of the filetable directory in a Bulk Insert Statement, receiving "Operating system error code 50(The request is not supported.)" Looking for confirmation as to whether this is truly not supported.
Environment: SQL Server 2012 Standard. Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard
I have an excel file which has dynamic columns
i.e. Col1, Col2, Col3 this week. next week i will have a new Col4 in the sheet. This will keep on adding every week.
My problem is to Unpivot the data
Date 8/2/2013 8/9/2013 8/16/2013
Stock 1,561 1,661 1,761
i.e. the abobe table should become as
Date Stock
8/2/2013 1561
8/9/2013 1661
8/16/2013 1,761
How can I unpivot the dynamic columns given that the columns will keep on increasing every week.

I am using SSIS to bulk insert from a file with more than 200 columns. I am trying to find a way I can bulk insert them to multiples table through SSIS.
The one way I can think is pre map the columns from the file to the destination tables. Build numerous Bulk Insert tasks to achieve that. But not sure if SSIS will let me do that.
I'm trying to set up a BULK INSERT Format File for some data that I've been sent, which, according to the data documentation, comes in fixed-width format fields (no delimiters except for end-of-row 0D0A) in SQL-Server 2005 Express.

However... actually running this gives the following error...

Bulk load data conversion error (truncation) for row 1, column 13 (EXISTENCE).

Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".
Since this is my first time with this, I read the BOL items on Bulk Insert, Format Files, and each of the formatting attibutes, and made up two line "toy" examples for SQLCHAR and SQLINT, including two columns - all worked as expected.
It seemed that only SQLNUMERIC/SQLDECIMAL fell apart.
Even the following trivial example doesn't work for this field of data...
"7999163 "
CREATE TABLE MQIC.DBO.ORDER_F
(
TRACER_ID NUMERIC (10,0)
)
and
9.0
1
1 SQLNUMERIC 0 10 " " 1 TRACER_ID ""
or
9.0
1
1 SQLNUMERIC 0 10 "" 1 TRACER_ID ""
which give this error...
Msg 9803, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid data for type "numeric".
The statement has been terminated.
or
9.0
1
1 SQLNUMERIC 0 10 "/r/n" 1 TRACER_ID ""
which gives this error...
Msg 4832, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Bulk load: An unexpected end of file was encountered in the data file.
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

Also - the DB_CREATE_DATE and DB_UPDATED_DATE CHAR (8) were supposed to be dates in the format of mmddyyy but clearly there is no Date datatype in SQL-Server. I would suppose these need to be converted, but am unsure how. What is clear is that the data was dumped from Oracle in text form,
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks!

HELP!
I`m using SQL Server 6.5 and my application does a weekly batch load of data
into a database. Since it`s a re-runnable batch process, there is no need for
logging, the log files just fill up, cause problems and slow the process down.
Is there a way to do an Insert into a database and have it NOT write to the
transaction log?
Alternately, if I just want to dump the transaction log, is there a stored
proc for doing that?
Thanks for your help.
Hello, everyone:
I have to post this problem again because I didn't get the correct way.
I have SQL Server 2000 on client (Windows XP) and server (Windows 2003). DTC is running on both side. There is a transcation like,
BEGIN TRAN
INSERT MyTable SELECT * FROM MyView
COMMIT
MyView get data by:
SELECT * FROM OPENDATASOURCE ('SQLOLEDB', 'Data Source=PROD;UserID=DBDev;Password=WORLDWID').PRODD ata.dbo.CService
PROD is the production server.
When I run this query, there is the error message,
Server: Msg 8501, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
MSDTC on server 'PROD' is unavailable.
Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d01c].
Any idea is appreciated.
Thanks
