Hi All,
I need to read a csv file, which is in remote server using SQl Bulk Insert Command.
Can I read a file Which is in remote server using BULK INSERT.
Thank you.......
Right now I have a web page that when you click on the only button on the page it opens a text file, reads a line from the text file, splits the comma separated line and stores it in to an array 'strData' and then moves on to the next line and repeats this process.What I want to do before it goes to the next line is insert that strData in to a SQL DB.This is my InsertCommand for my SqlDataSource1:InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [Numbers] ([WTN], [DSL_Qualified], [DSL_Qualified_Date], [Equip_1MM], [Line_Trouble], [Sync_Rate], [Res_Bus], [Host_Remote]) VALUES (@WTN, @DSL_Qualified, @DSL_Qualified_Date, @Equip_1MM, @Line_Trouble, @Sync_Rate, @Res_Bus, @Host_Remote)"Plus the <InsertParameters>:<InsertParameters> <asp:Parameter Name="WTN" Type="Int32" /> <asp:Parameter Name="DSL_Qualified" Type="String" /> <asp:Parameter Name="DSL_Qualified_Date" Type="DateTime" /> <asp:Parameter Name="Equip_1MM" Type="String" /> <asp:Parameter Name="Line_Trouble" Type="String" /> <asp:Parameter Name="Sync_Rate" Type="String" /> <asp:Parameter Name="Res_Bus" Type="String" /> <asp:Parameter Name="Host_Remote" Type="String" /> </InsertParameters>So I'm not sure exactly what to do after this:while (file.Peek() > -1) { string strCSVData = file.ReadLine(); string [] strData = strCSVData.Split(','); // somehow get strData in to the SqlDataSource1.Insert method?? }Any help would be appreciated.Thanks.

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?

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 Guys, how many connections does sql 2005 express allow to .mdf file. I stumpled on info on a microsoft site (actually a forum post on msdn) that sql server express allows only a single connection to an .mdf file.
Iam intrested in this because i developed reporting services reports in BIS and iam having problems. If i run a report from report manager, i have to wait for close to 20 minutes before i can be able to run my asp.net application agian. Else if i insert data or retrieve data from my asp.net application, then i have to wait again for 20 minutes or more before i can be able to run my reports else i will get an error that a connection can not be made to the database or that the database is being used by another process.
So in all cases, i have to wait for 20--30 minutes before a connection can be made to the .mdf file. i.e after running a report or after inserting or retrieving data from the database through my asp.net application.
Iam using sql sever 2005 express with advanced services and visual web developer on windows server 2003.
Any ideas or help.
I have a SQL Server 2005 database file (a .mdf file) that I am trying to open in SQL Server Management Studio so I can add a field to a table, but I am unable to open the file. I can't say that I really understand how SQL Server handles these databases. I especially don't understand the "attaching" and "detaching" operations.
I am working in VB.Net 2008 now, but my background is with VB6 using the JET engine. It was just so straightforward using the JET engine, but seems so much more complicated with SQL Server. I am trying to use .mdf files the same way I used .mdb files. I want my application to find the database file, "attach to it", and let me manipulate it.
At one time I was able to open my database in Sql Server Management Studio and edit the design of the database. The application still works but I am no longer able to modify the database because I cannot attach to it in Management Studio.
Here is a big clue: the files are no longer in the special folder anymore, which is c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATA. I might have deleted the files, stupidly, thinking they were redundant. I still have the .mdf file (and the _log.ldf file) on my hard drive and the application can still open it, but when I try to use Management Studio to attach to the .mdf file, I get this error:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express
An error occurred when attaching the database(s). Click the hyperlink in the Message column for details.
here are the details:
Unable to open the physical file "c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATAHEALSExamsSQL.mdf". Operating system error 2: "2(The system cannot find the file specified.)". (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
Indeed the file is not there, but why is Mgmt Studio looking there? Why doesn't it just open the file where it is? What can I do to get it back? I even copied the files to c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATA? I get the same error.
Here is another clue: In Management Studio, when I right-click Databases, and chose Attach, it brings up a dialog. There I click "Add" to get another dialog in which I will select a database, but before the dialog appears I get this error:
Locate Database Files - KURANT-WIN7SQLEXPRESS
C:UsersJason KurantDesktop
Cannot access the specified path or file on the server. Verify that you have the necessary security privileges and that the path or file exists.
If you know that the service account can access a specific file, type in the full path for the file in the File Name control in the Locate dialog box.

View 9 Replies View Related Hi guys,
I recently installed Office Accounting 2007 Professional on a Windows Server 2003 machine with SQL Server 2005 (installed on an existing instance) and updated Office Accounting with service pack 1. However, after I have created the company file, other users were unable to open it. The error message was "The company could not be opened. Please ensure the SQL Server exists, the service is running and access has been granted."
Below are some of the stuff I had done, but still cannot solve the problem:
- Under "Manage users and roles", I granted full control to all users in the AD.
- Made the company.sbc as well as the multiuser.sbc file available to everyone on the server's shared drive.
- Granted full control to all users in the AD for the above mentioned shared drive.
- Copied the company.sbc and multiuser.sbc files onto all client computers.
- Ensured that SQL Server is running.
- Checked the security options for the linked database to ensure all users have the necessary rights.
- Enabled TCP/IP and named pipes as well as the port 5356 and have restarted the services.
- Added port 5356 as an exception in Windows firewall on all client computers.
- I even switched off Windows Firewall on the server just to eliminate this possibility!
- Tried everything listed in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910012
I still get that error message on all client computers!!! What else have I left out? God bless me...
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.
It works fine and I see the system tables and can make my own tables.
But how do I open a standalone MDF file with it? Or maybe it is a restriction ?
I am trying to get to the database for my personal start kit.
I recently installed standalone version of SQL 2014 Standard on my work computer. I used Access before but I want to use a SQL server instead.
We have a shared drive that a file gets deposited every day at midnight. I want to be able to get this file and import it to the server (its basically a list of names).
Here what I have done so far:
I created the database
Created the file and successfully imported data into it using the Import Data feature.
I saved the SSIS package
Scheduled an Agent Job for this package to run at certain time,daily
At first the jobs would fail with a Access is Denied. I added a user under Credentials with my network account ( have admin rights on the work computer).Also added a Proxy for the Credential user I made.
Jobs fail with a “Cannot open data file” error. I tried changing things here and there, but I can’t get it to work.
Hi,
I created a SSIS package which will generate an output file and place it on a remote fileshare location which will look something like this
\RemoteServerNameRemoteFilePath
The package is executing fine when I am executing it through BIDS or through execute package utility and writing the output file to remote file share location.
I created a SQL job for the package and ran the Job. Then, its throwing an error saying
Executed as user: DomainUser. Microsoft (R) SQL Server Execute Package Utility Version 9.00.3042.00 for 32-bit Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1984-2005. All rights reserved.

DomainUser have all the permissions on the remote file share location.
SQL server agent is running with the log-on account DomainUser(same as the above).
Could anyone help me in resolving this issue.

Here's a challenge that is killing me:I've got 2 web servers and a SQL Server and about 5,000 'users' whostay connected to the site all day. I have a page that is supposed tobe 'real-time', so to do this, I have a 1px frame that refreshes every15 seconds (so the other frame doesn't have to reload all the time--thetop only reloads when a new record or a changed record hits the db).The real time data can be filtered in about 8 different ways.Currently, I have each user querying a table that contains 1 record,including the max ID and the most current insert/update posting date.The browser contains a cookie with that date. When the browser receivesnotification that there is some new info on the server, it refreshesthe top page and reloads the data. This is happening for all users. So,I thought to eliminate the 5,000 users running the same (or closevariations) of the same query each time a records is inserted/updated,that I would generate an XML file with the current day's data.In a dev environment this works 'ok'. I'm doing this by running anActiveX job on the SQL Server that calls a stored proc (FOR XML) andwrites the content to a file. Then from the web servers, I'm queryingthis file for the new timestamp and then if newer than the cookie,grabbing the XML (using the httprequest in the ASP XMLDOM) and usingXSLT to transform the data instead of parameterizing the queries.Theoretically I love this solution. Problems happen in a LIVEenvironment where either the file is being written to or the job isn'table to run. When 2 records are trying to be written within the samesecond, the file isn't being written (or maybe that the http requestingthe XML is keeping the file locked?)....anyway...this is a HUGE problethat I can't seem to solve. Once we roll to .NET I think storing thedataset in cache and updating cache (still don't know how I'll triggerthat without each user checking the db)....Long winded, sorry...help?
