Hi,
I have a tab delimited file I need to transfer to a table using SSIS. Columns can have NULL value and there might be extra tabs in each row also. How can I do this? Maybe fuzzy lookup?
Thanks

Hello
I am writing program in VC++ through SQl-DMO calls.My problem is when i when i tranfer(import) a text file(comma seperated) into SQl server through a SQl-DMO method called ImportData which is a method of Bulk copy object.Its is not able to convert the data field in the text file to corresponding value datetime in SQl server whereas other data types are working perfectly.
This is the record i need to convert:
90,MichaelB,Wintriss,Inspection,Paper,11,Job101,1, {ts '2000-12-10 15:54:56.000'},D:public233 and 247233.mcs,
There are about 1000 records like this .the text file is generated by SQl when i export data from Sql server tables.This file has lot of records.Now i need to put the record in the text file into SQl server tables.During which when i pass the text file it gives problem in converting date and time value.I cannot remove the bracket and ts as ,{ts '2000-12-10 15:54:56.000'} it generated by SQl server tables
and this is the date field
{ts '2000-12-10 15:54:56.000'}
Whereas if i export a table in SQl server in Binary mode and then import the file back it works but when do it as text it gives the above error
Pls help me in this i would be very thankful to you.
Note: I am using SQL Server 7.0 version

Hi All SSIS experts,
Happy 2008!!!!
I am inserting data into a tab delimted text file using SSIS package.
After data insetion some extra tabs get added between columns in some rows in the text file.
Can we programmatically delete the extra tabs from the text file, if so how to use/implement the code inside the SSIS package?
Any pointer/suggestions are welcome.
Thanks & Regards,
The problem is that I have (for example) following data
AAAA AA ALH
B BBB MIL
CCCCCC CAC Q
D D P
in space delimited file and i want to populate a database using SSIS and it is not working. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
P.S. the only way to recognize colums is through spaces b/w the data.
Hi,
I would like to know how to import in the custom delimited text file by using SSIS.
For example, instead by using tab or comma delimited, I use this character : '¶'
The reason is the delimited format that SSIS provided is too common such as colon, semi colon, tab, comma and pipeline.
I have the data that the user also key in the pipeline there. So I am thinking to separate the field by using this special character, but cannot see if there is anyway to import in by using SSIS.
Please help to share the solution on this :
A¶B¶C
1¶2¶3
thanks
best regards,
Tanipar

Hi
I am new to VB, and am looking to write some code to import a delimited (by a ~) .txt file into a SQL server table. It doesn't need to append, just to totally overwrtie the table. Is this possible? I have been looking at the Bulk Insert, but this doesn't seem to be quite right. Can anyone help?
Cheers,

Hi,
Could you help me to write a script to import a CSV delimited text file into a sql server table.?
Thanks,

How do I do this?
I cannot find any facility like there is a Access for getting external data.
I 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?
Hi,
I am new to SSIS but i have avg working knowledge in sql.
My problem is as follows ,I have a text pipe dilimited file in some folder and the number of columns and the name of the column is not consistant. It can have N number of column and it can have any column names. I need to load this text file data into a sql table. All that i want is to load this file to SQL Database with some temp name. Once i get the table in SQL Database, i can match the column names of both taget table and this temp table and only push those column which matches with the target table. For this i can frame Dynamic SQL. This part is clear to me.
Now the problem is , I developed a SSIS pacakge to push the text file to SQL Table. I am able to do this. But if i change the column names or added new column SSIS is not able to push the new columns. Is this functionality available in SSIS, is it can be dynamic like this?
I hope i am clear with my prob... if need any clarification please let me know
thanks in advance

I have list (in an input file) where each row is about 20K in size (so it can't be stored in a sql table). I want to convert the list into a table as shown below:
before:
---------------
pk1, c1, d1, c2, d2, c3, d3,......
pk2Â Â c1,d1,c2,d2,c3,d3.....
where "pk" denotes a primary key and in a given row (c1,c2.c3,...) are all distinct. ("c" are columns names, "d" is the associated data)
after: (desired conversion)
---------------
pk1,c1,d1
pk1,c2,d2
pk1,c3,d3
...
pk2,c1,d1
pk2,c2,d2
pk2,c3,d3
....
I was planning to have SSIS pull in the "before" data, run a custom C# program in SSIS against it to massage the data to vertical (3-column format), then export the massaged data to a new text file. The new text file would later be imported into a sql table using SSIS.Â
I am using the Bulk Insert command and trying to import a CSV delimited text file into a table and I am having problems with the quote field delimiters ", " The command below works but it takes in all the "" quotes as well and the field delimiter comma , works only if the commas are the separators only. If I have a comma within a address field for example then the data gets imported into the wrong fields. What can I use to identify that the text qualifier is ". I don't see where I can use the bulk insert command to determine this. Is there another command that I can use or am I using this command incorrectly. I thank you in advance for any response or suggestion you may have.
BULK INSERT AdventureWorks.dbo.MbAddress
FROM 'a:mbAddress.txt'
WITH (
DATAFILETYPE = 'char',
FIELDTERMINATOR=',',
ROWTERMINATOR='',
CODEPAGE = '1252',
KEEPIDENTITY,
KEEPNULLS,

Here is a sample ascii file I am importing as well you can see that 6330 has a extra comma in the address line.

I am trying to create a SSIS package with a csv flat file for the both the destination and source. I cannot control the source file. I need to be able to handle an extra comma in the source file which occasionally contains suffixes i.e. {John, Smith, Jr,} which could cause some records to be 9 fields and others 10. Any ideas?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am using the flat file connection manager. I read in a set of flat files and copy them into a staging database table. I want to ignore anything in the text file past column 266. I can't get this to work correctly. I can't define the last column to end at 266 and ignore the rest. I tried adding an extra column but that did not work either.

Hello all,I am currently working on upgrading the old website to an asp.net website.Current website uses flat-files as its database, so I need to convert a few files into SQL tables.The file that I am having difficulties with has the following structure (tab and coma separated):OrderID CustomerID ItemNO1 1 1,2,3,42 1 5,6,73 1 4,5,67,4576A,234 2 4,56,678,DF23,75 2 78,2,567,4556,3,45,FG456 3 2,45, F35 etc.... and I need my table to be structured like this: OrderID CustomerID ItemNO1 1 11 1 21 1 3 1 1 42 1 52 1 62 1 7.......................The import function in SQL database will not do this. Is it possible to automate this somehow? Thanks

Hello
Before I start just wanna say thanks for all the top advice so far - much appreciated. My current quandry is this:-
I have a table called STOCK with columns ITEM_ID, ITEM & PRICE. Most of the stock is my own produce but i do buy-in some items. What i want to do is add some extra columns to STOCK for the supplier details on those items i buy in. The problem is that a lot of the fields in the supplier details columns will be empty. Would this be a problem or would it be better to have a seperate table for supplier details?
