Copy Content Of A Text File Into Table
Nov 6, 2006Hi Guys,
What approach should I use to copy content of a text file.
Example of the text file's content:
Date, "20060101"
ST_Code, "101"
A_Code, P_Code, T_Code, amount, price
"0001", "1111", "0101", 550, 230
"0002", "1111", "0102", 345, 122
"2001", 0212", 0930", 410, 90
In the example above, I just want to copy the rows Date, "20060101" and ST_Code, "101" into a table.
Regards,
Lars

Jul 29, 2015Copy out all data from a DB table into/across delimited text file(s) ensuring that each text file size is no more than 3MB.Have created a SSIS solution where it achieves this requirement ..well sort of achieves the requirement ... Here it what the current solution (sparing the minute details) does in a nutshell & Problems with it:
1) Created a function (Script below) which finds the
maximum row size in bytes in a given DB table & uses it to calculate
how many rows can be copied out into a text file without exceeding 3MB size limit.
For instance: A DB table selected had 788 rows in total and this function for this particular table returned a value of 181 rows { select [dbo].[udf_GetRowPartitionNumber](‘<TableName>’)as #ofRowstoPartitionTableby --181} meaning in order to not exceed the requirement of 3MB per text file, we had to copy all the data from DB table across (create) 5 text files {Select

Service Broker Table Copy, File Send?
Aug 22, 2006Hi There
I have a table at my initiator, i have a copy of this table at my target, every morning i want to refresh the table at the target with the data from the initiator via service broker.
What would be the best way to do this?
One major consideration would be that this table would be very large +- 1.6 million rows.
I was thinking of exporting the table to file like a csv, compressing the file and then sending it via service broker. Then at the target i would uncompress and bulk copy the data into the table at the target.
But can this be done?
How would one go about sending a file via service broker?
For example if i wanted to send a .csv or something via service broker how would i do it?
I know i can send binary data, but i would have to equate the msg to a file on disk, and how exactly would a recieve this file on the other side and make sure it went to disk at the target, i am guessing it is a mixture of xp_cmdshell and service broker.
Can this work?
Or is there a much simpler way? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanx
Copy Raw Data From A Flat File To A Database Table, BUT Do Not Insert Duplicates
Aug 2, 2007Hi,
I'm new to SQL Server 2005 SSIS. I'm trying to do something very simple, but I cannot figure it out, PLEASE HELP!
I have a flat file, which I read and then insert the data in a database table, that works fine. The problem is that I don't want to insert duplicate records. For example; if I run the package again, it will appent to the table. What I need to do is that if the package runs again, check if the record already exist, based one two columns, date and hour, and do not insert the record.
Thank you,
Aldo
DTS Text File To SQL Table
Apr 6, 2004Hello,
I have an access database (access 95 Version7)dumping a delimited text file onto my server. I am then using DTS in SQL 2000 to import the file into a table.
My issue is that each time the DTS runs, it imports the whole text file each time, this is causing duplicate records.
So I created a transformation script as follows :
Function Main()
If DTSSource("counter") <= DTSDestination("counter") Then
Main = DTSTransformStat_SkipRow
Else
DTSDestination("counter") = DTSSource("counter")
DTSDestination("serialdata") = DTSSource("serialdata")
DTSDestination("serialdata1") = DTSSource("serialdata1")
DTSDestination("date") = DTSSource("date")
DTSDestination("time") = DTSSource("time")
Main = DTSTransformStat_OK
End If
End Function
The theory behind the If statement, is if it sees that the counter field is less than or equal to what is there, it will skip the record and move forward. For some reason this is not working.
Does anyone have a workaround or another solution to this problem
Updating Table From Text File
Jul 23, 2001I have portions of data coming in as text files containing new records and updates of existing records. The solution I've figured out till yet is to import a portion of data into some intermediate table and then run a stored procedure to migrate the data into the real table.
Any ideas how to do this in a more efficient way?
Thanks in advance,

But the process keeps adding strange charater like squares at the end

Export Data From Table To Text File
Apr 22, 2002I need to export data from a table to a text file, where the data in the table is deleted after written to the file. It is simple using DTS, but I want to do the export in "chunks" of data, committing the delete say after every 1000 rows.
My thought was a stored procedure would be easy enough to do this (done these in Oracle many times), but I don't know the quickest way to export a row of data from a stored procedure to a text file. Isn't using a command-line shell too slow? What are my options?

How To Create Table On Text File Import?
Sep 27, 2007Hey guys,
I have a dilemma and hope someone can help.
I don't know of any utilities or commands in SQL that do this but I hope someone does.
What I need to do is something like a bcp import a text file in. I can do that with DTS as well. But what I wanted to do is create a table on the import. So lets say, I am importing a tab-delimited file with column names as the first row that is called ax.txt. On import, it would create the table ax with the column names in the file and then import the data into that table.
I hope I explained it clearly. Please let me know if there is anything I can use to do this without writing lots of code.
I have an idea how to do it the long way but hope there is a utility that already does it.
Thanks in advance.

Import A Text File To A SQL Table Question
Feb 6, 2008Greetings all!
I am a relative newbie to SQL but I've written many queries for vb.net/.net code...I'm not an absolute beginner.
I'd like to import a text file into a sql database so that I can use SQL Reporting Services to report on the data. Here is a sample of the first 8 textfile records. All of the 6 potential database fields are separated by a comma and no spaces:
1,12/4/06 4:12:11 PM,67.13,70.50,71.56,8.23
2,12/4/06 4:17:11 PM,67.13,70.50,71.56,8.33
3,12/4/06 4:22:11 PM,67.19,70.69,71.69,8.19
4,12/4/06 4:27:11 PM,67.19,70.63,71.69,8.18
5,12/4/06 4:32:11 PM,67.19,70.69,71.75,8.05
6,12/4/06 4:37:11 PM,67.19,70.69,71.69,8.03
7,12/4/06 4:42:11 PM,67.19,70.63,71.69,8.05
8,12/4/06 4:47:11 PM,67.19,70.63,71.63,8.02
The description for field datatypes of the first record above is:
1 (this is an autonumber, should be a number for ordering)
12/4/06 4:12:11 PM (date and time, can be converted to text if necessay)
67.13 (number, 2 decimal spaces)
70.50 (number, 2 decimal spaces)
71.56 (number, 2 decimal spaces)
8.23 (number, 2 decimal spaces)
The textfile is big, 97K records. I have SQL 2005 installed on my PC.
Can anyone out there please help me with the import or SQL statement to create a SQL table from this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks and have a great day - gad1
Inserting Data From Text File To SQL ME Table
Nov 24, 2006Hello,
I have an application taht requires the use of a table. The device that this application works on, has a local memory that does not allow me to insert the 800,000 records that I need. Therefore I have two approaches:
1. To insert less records into my local memory database e.g 40,000 but not row by row, bulk insert is better. How do I do the bulk insert?
2. This is the most prefferable way: To find a way to insert all 800,000 records into a table on the storage card which is 1GB. What do you suggest? Will using threads be helpfull? Any ideas?
I use C# from VS 2005, SQL ME, compact framework 2.0 and windows 4.2.
Thanks in advance,

Issues Importing A Text File (tab Delimited) To A SQL Table
Dec 7, 2005I have a text file I am trying to import to a table. This text file is in a tab delimited format. I am using DTS to import the data to a new table I made. The fields are varchar and are set to allow nulls & allow 8,000 characters per field.
The error I am getting is that the data exceeds the allowed amount (or something like that) in col4.
Now I have checked everything in column 4 and nothing exceeds 5,000 spaces/characters combined. I have checked the entire sheet (in excel) for that fact, and there is not one single column/row/cell that exceeds 5,000 spaces/characters combined.
What the heck could be causing SQL to tell me I am trying to import too much data in one column when there is nothing that even comes close to 8,000 characters & spaces combined?
