I tried to many ways but couldn't succeed.
Any help on this will be very helpful.
Thanks
I have someone who is sending me .htm documents, with a table in them, and I was wondering if there is a way to import the data from those tables into a SQL table, probably using an SSIS Package.

Hi All,
I want to Import data from AS400 to Sql2005. From the Sql Management studio I invoke the Import Data wizard. For the source I connect to the ISereis system and for the Destination I select the Sql2005 Database , When I go to the next step i.e select source tables I get the error
"An error has occured which the SQL Server Integration Wizard was not prepared to handle
No error message available,result codeB_E_CANTCANCEL(0*80040E15).(System.Data)" .After this I am unable to proceed further. I am using client Access tool to connect to ISereis

In my scenario I have about a dozen of flat files (Text files),that I have to import in SQL Server 2005.
I am using Flat File connection manager to carry out tha task.Flat files contains data generated from oracle.
When I import data from these text files into SQL ,the main problem lies in converting number(p,s) data type column of Oracle(In text file) to numeric(p,s) data type of sql server 2005.
Number(p,s) data type looses all it's digits after decimal to zero during import process.
For example
1.2434234390 (from text file,number(p,s) type of oracle) converts to 12.0000000000 (numeric(p,s)) of sql server 2005.
Is this this any workaround to this problem.I urgently need help.
Hi,
I'm a new user of SQL Server 2005. I have the full version installed. I also have SQL Server Business Integration Dev Studio installed. My OS is Windows XP.
I'm importing a series of 5 flat files into a database on one of the SQL Servers we have. My goal is to get 5 different tables (though perhaps I should do one and add an extra field to distinguish each import) into the database for further analysis.
I tried doing an import via DTS Wizard. There are no column names in the flat file so I defined them during the import process (all 58 of them). When I got to the end, I had an option to save the import process as a SSIS (SQL Server Integration Service) Package on:
SQL SERVER (I don't have permission for this)
or
FILE SYSTEM (did this one)
I saved the Package locally in hopes of being able to go back in, change the source file and destination table of the package and quickly get the other 4 flat files imported.
My problems are:
1) I couldn't find how to run the *.DTSX Package file to run in SQL Server Studio (basically reuse the Package with minor changes and saving me having to redefine the same 58 columns on each flat file import)
2) Tried but didn't understand how to run it in SQL Server Bus Intel Dev Studio (i.e. understanding the mapping and getting the data types right so it wouldn't error out)
3) Don't know how to make the necessary changes so that the Package handles the next source file and puts in a new destination table (do I need to do 5 CREATE TABLES so this Package has a place to run to?)
4) Does the Package need to be part of a Project to run (I haven't found how to take an existing Package and make it part of a Project/Solution)?
5) Is there a good book or online resource for just getting the basics of using SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio?
I'm really at a loss after spending a day fruitlessly on it scouring the help files, forums and experimenting around.
Hope somebody can point me in the right direction.

It seems to me that files created on Unix machines with line terminator , or chr(10), cannot be imported using the Bulk Insert statement. Is this a bug, or an oversight by Microsoft? Does this mean that unless one replaces all with
, there is no way to use Bulk Insert to import Unix files? This is a very strange behavior by MSSQL. Even lessor programs such as Excel and Word automatically recognize chr(10) as a line termination character. Am I missing something, or is this just the way MSSQL is?
I just spent some time working out how to do a seemingly simple task. I€™m sharing the steps I took to do this in hopes it saves other SQL Server 2005 users (especially newbies like myself) time.
My original question posed on several SQL newsgroups was based on this goal:
I'm importing a series of 5 flat files (all with same file layout) into a database on one of the SQL Servers we have using SQL Server 2005 (SQL Server Management Studio) . My goal is to get 5 different tables. I want to do this without having to redo all the layout criteria 4 additional times.
Below are the steps I followed to get a solution (all done in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio):
Create the Package (data import)
1) Use the SQL Server Import Export Wizard (equivalent to SQL Server 2000 Data Transfer Wizard) to import your first flat file. At the CHOOSE DATA SOURCE window browse for your file.
2) Under the Advanced tab, you can set your Column attributes (€œoutput column width€? or €œdata type€? to name a few). I highlighted all the columns and selected €œstring [DT_STR]€? for data type. To avoid truncation errors, I selected 255 for output column width. You can name the columns whose data you are most concerned with (I did import all the available fields).
3) After choosing a server destination you will have a €œSELECT SOURCE TABLES AND VIEWS€? window pop up. Under the €œMapping€? column you can choose to tweak your mapping further editing in SQL (see Edit SQL button). I didn€™t.
4) The €œSAVE AND EXECUTE PACKAGE€? will pop up. The €œExecute Immediately€? box should be checked and you should check the €œSave SSIS Package€? (SQL Server Integration Services). When you do, select €œFile System€? for where to save this import-file-package to.
5) Click OKAY for the Package Protection Level and the €œSAVE SSIS PACKAGE€? window will appear. Browse for a path on your local computer to save to.
Modify Package (data import) for Next Use
6) In SQL Server Management Studio, browse for the Package and open it.
Preparation for SQL Task €“ box
7) You should see a screen that shows two boxes (€œPreparation for SQL Task€?) and (€œData Flow Task€?).
8) Right click on the former and select €œEdit€?.
9) On the €œSQL Statement€? row, click into the right column and select the €œ€¦€? box
10) Change the destination table (the table you will create with this package) to a meaningful name and click OK.
11) Click OK for the €œSQL Task Editor€?
Data Flow Task - box
12) Right click on the €œData Flow Task€? box and select €œEdit€?.
13) Three boxes will appear €œSourceConnectionFlatFile€?, €œData Conversion 1€?, and €œDestination - <whatever table name your original data import went to>€?. Below them is a section that displays €œConnection Managers€?
SourceConnectionFlatFile - editing
14) The first thing you will want to do is change the import source to a new flat file. You do this by going below the boxes under the €œConnection Managers€? window and right clicking on €œSourceConnectionFlatFile€? and then selecting €œEdit€?
15) Browse for the new €œFile Name€? and select it.
16) A €œMicrosoft SQL Server Management Studio€? window will pop up asking you if you want to €œkeep or reset the existing metadata€?. The metadata is just your column definitions and choosing €œYES€? to keep this makes sense if you are doing data imports on files with the same file layout.
17) Still in the €œFlat File Connection Manager Editor€? window, change the €œConnection Manager Name€? to something meaningful (I add <_> at the end and then the name of the table the flat file is going to) and click OK.
SourceConnectionFlatFile €“ box (editing)
18) Right click on the €œSourceConnectionFlatFile€? box and select €œEdit€?.
19) Your newly named €œFlat File Connection Manager€? should appear in select box.
20) Click OK, right click again on the €œSourceConnectionFlatFile€? box and select €œShow Advanced Editor€?.
21) Under the €œConnections Manager€? tab, your newly named €œFlat File Connection€? should appear (the prior step is necessary for the advanced editor to recognize your change).
22) Under the €œComponent Properties€? tab, on the €œName€? row, click into the right column and rename to something meaningful (notice the €œIdentification String€? row description changes too once you click out of the €œName€? row)
23) Under the €œColumn Mappings€? tab, just confirm you are mapping your flat file fields (€œAvailable External Columns€?) to a destination table€™s fields (€œAvailable Output Columns€?).
24) Under the €œInput and Output Properties€? tab you can check in €œFlat File Source Output€? to make modifications to either your €œExternal Columns€? or your €œOutput Columns€? €“ you shouldn€™t need to for a simple import.
((NOTE: any changes you make here would likely need to be consistent with the column properties found under the €œConnection Manager Window€? for the €œSourceConnectionFlatFile€? as well as the €œData Conversion 1€? box under the €œData Flow Tasks€? window, so exercise caution
25) NOTE: This process has worked for me by making my source columns all €œstring [DT_STR]€? data type and the output columns all €œUnicode String [DT_WSTR]€? data type.
Data Conversion 1 €“ box (editing)
26) There is nothing you need to do here. By right clicking on the €œData Conversion 1€? box and selecting €œEdit€?, you can see and change the data type of the output columns (the ones in the table your importing the flat file to). There are probably more edits one can do but they€™re beyond what I€™ve learned.
Destination - <whatever table name your original data import went to> €“ box (editing)
27) Right click on the €œDestination - <whatever table name your original data import went to>€? box and select €œShow Advanced Editor€?.
28) Select the €œComponent Properties€? tab.
29) Select the right column at the €œName€? row and change the name to something meaningful (ie. related to the source file name or the table name you€™re importing to).
30) Select the right column at the €œIdentification String€? row and it will update to this change.
31) Select the right column at the €œOpenRowSet€? and change it to the name of the table you are importing your flat file to (this should be consistent with table name under step 10).
32) Click OK
33) Select FILE and select €œSave As€¦€? and then give your package a new name that€™s meaningful (this will be helpful if you have to rerun the import of the flat file later).
Run (execute) the Revised Package (data import)
34) Go back to SQL Server Management Studio and open the Object Explorer
35) Connect to an €œIntegration Services€? component. This should essentially be a local instance (not sure where it is on the local computer or in SQL Server Management Studio on the local computer).
36) In €œObject Explorer€? go down to your €œIntegration Services€? object and expand it.
37) Expand €œStored Packages€?
38) Right click on €œFile System€? and select €œImport Package€? and an €œIMPORT PACKAGE€? window will appear
39) For €œPackage Location€? choose €œFile System€? and then browse for the €œPackage Path€?
40) Click into the €œPackage Name€? and it defaults to your Package€™s file name.
41) Click OK and the Package is imported.
42) Right click on the newly imported Package and select €œRun Package€?
43) An €œExecute Package Utility€? window appears
44) Select €œExecute€? and the package runs.

Hello All,Looking for an opinion on the following scenario.Lets say you need to create a report for a 1000 stores. The report format is the same but the data changes for each store.Option 1:Write an asp.net page where the user selects the store, or a store parameter is pased, hit SQL Server with a SP and display the data. - This option seem to have the advantage of flexibility and simplicity.Option 2:Write out a static XML/HTML report for each store and have the asp.net page load the static file. - This options seems to have the advantage of speed on the client side but is less flexible and more complex on the backend.Any thoughts?For option 2 is it possible to write out the XML/HTML files using SQL Server or does something custom need to be created?Thanks, Gary

I have question, sorry if it is very basic, as SQL is not my thing!
Iam allowing visitors on my IBS site to (lets say) create HTML post. This is enabled by allowing the user to use WYISWG text editor component. This means that users can create all sorts of HTML tags.
Before storing this HTML in the SQL Server, I encode it.
I also need to provide users with searching ability. So what is the best way in achieving this? Can I write search SQL normally, as in, with LIKE operators or do I need to something special?
Thanks

I have 8GB of text files which are basically log files from the past few years.
There is 24 text files per directory which are labeled for every day (so they are not all in 1 folder).
It would make reading them much easier if I could import them to SQL but I only seem to be able to import 1 at a time? (with the wizards :eek: )
Surely there is a way to mass import without all the costly applications that google searches give me?
cheers :P
I have a job that calls about 5 DTS's. Each DTS imports a text file. The problem is that some of the files may not be there every day. How do I exit the DTS without an error if the file does not exist, but I want my job to keep running...
