How To Export Certain Columns From A Table Out To CSV File
Aug 24, 2015
I have a requirement to export data from a SQL Server 2012 table, to a CSV file. This needs to be done either every hour, or ideally if it is possible, whenever a new record is created or an existing record is updated/deleted.
The data to be extracted from SQL is:
Mxmservsite.siteid as Marker_ID, mxmservsite.name as Name, 'SITE' as Group, '3' as Status, '' as Notes, mxmservsite.zipcode as Post_Code, 'GB' as Country, '' as Latitude, '' as Longitude, '' as Delete
Where dataareaid='ansa'
I€™m using the ImportExport wizard to export the top 5 lines from a MS Sql table into a fixed format (€œragged€?) file. But I want the first record to contain the column names of the exported fields so I selected the €œColumn names in the first data row€? option of the €œChoose a Destination€? box. When I run the Package I get:
>>> · Information 0x402090dc: Data Flow Task: The processing of file "C:arkingdogExportWithheader.txt" has started (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
· Error 0xc0202095: Data Flow Task: Failed to write out column name for column "CustomerID". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc004701a: Data Flow Task: component "Destination - ExportWithheader_txt" (49) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202095. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard) >>>
When I de-select the €œColumn names€? option, the package works fine. Other than manually, how can I et the column names in output file?

Rookie qustion here quys, Using SQL Sever 2005 Express and Visual Web Devoloper Express. I'm trying to get data from my local SQL sever database to my shared hosting database. SImple enough but... 1.) GoDaddy does not allow remote connections to the DB server 2.) With GoDaddy you can't just upload an .MDF file to your remote directory and script a connection string. You have to reference the DB server. Can't upload DB file to DB server. As a work around, I've seen several .sql files that have all the T-SQL that will create a database and tables then insert the data. I've google'd extensively and searched several forums with no luck as to how to export my local data to file. I could then copy and paste into an online utility GoDaddys has to insert the data. Is there a relatively easy way to export table data to a .sql file??? When I try using SQL Server Management Studio Express and "Scipt Table As> Insert To> File", It just gives me something like the following... INSERT INTO [pubs].[dbo].[authors] ([au_id] ,[au_lname] ,[au_fname] ,[phone] ,[address] ,[city] ,[state] ,[zip] ,[contract]) VALUES (<au_id, id,> ,<au_lname, varchar(40),> ,<au_fname, varchar(20),> ,<phone, char(12),> ,<address, varchar(40),> ,<city, varchar(20),> ,<state, char(2),> ,<zip, char(5),> ,<contract, bit,>) Plenty of data in this table, no data in script ??? Can SQL Server Management Studio Express do what I wanting to do? If not, any suggestions? Know of a better hosing company?
Anbody please help I am trying to export a text file to a table using enterprise manager and all tasks But the process keeps adding strange charater like squares at the end of each line and also replaces each empty line in the text file with a record in the table with that square type character. I used the following code to delete all rows with that character (as a work around) but no joy. I am losing hope.
I 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?
Dear MSSQL- experts,I have a strange problem with SQLSERVER 2000.I tried to export a table of about 40000 lines into a text file usingthe Enterprise managerexport assitant. I was astonished to get an exported text file of about400 MB instead 16 MB which is the normal size of that data.By examining this file with a text editor I found that the fileincluded alongside the data of my table MANY zeros which caused the bigfile size.Does someone of you have an idea what could cause the export oftrillions zeros into my textfile and how to only export the significantdata of my table ?Best regards,Daniel
I have to export about 50 excel files from different tables. Some tables contain leading 0s in the columns. If I use bcp to export to xls file, the leading 0s will be missing. If bcp to csv or txt file, there will be no issue at all. But I have to export to xls file in order to let client update that xls file and reload to tables again.
I'm trying to export data from one of the table in my SQL 7.0 database into text file. Can someone tell me how can i do this using SQL Query instead of using BCP (command line) ?? Thank you in advance.
How to move one table or a ResultSet to a separate database .sdf file in compact edition?
For example, I have handheld installed the compact edition to do some order works. After the job done, I want move the new table Orders to our server or other place. Of course I don't want to move everything in the .sdf file. So, what is the best way to move table Orders out to a sparate .sdf file? (In my case, I can not use RDA or replication. )
I am sorry, I am posting this message again, since I did not get anyreply.I want to export a table into a "fixed width" file using SQL 2005import export wizard.This is the version I have:SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.2047.00For some reason it joins all the rows together. For EX: if the tableis like this:Create table Mytable (col1 varchar(50) null, col2 varchar(60) null,col3 varchar (100) Null)Insert into MyTable values ("abcdef", "12345", "8900")Insert into MyTable values ("xxxxxxx", "11111111", "22222222")Insert into MyTable values ("yyyyyyyyy", "5555555555555555","6666666666")Insert into MyTable values ("abcdef", "12345", "8900")Insert into MyTable values ("xxxxxxx", "11111111", "22222222")Insert into MyTable values ("yyyyyyyyy", "5555555555555555","6666666666")It is not exporting every row in a single line. Actually if I open itin "Ultra Edit", it is all in one line.I used to do this regularly with SQL 2000 import export wizard and itexported every row in one line.I looked at the setting:The header row delimiter has {CR}{LF}Code page has 1252 Ansi-Latin.In the Advanced tab:String:dt_str.I tried changing the header row delimiter to just {CR} or just {LF}.Also I tried changing the string to dt_text and nothing seems to help.Please help.Thank you
I have to find the latest file in a folder and export data to a table in sql server. The code should be something that has to be incorporated into a t-sql stored procedure.
The file name would for example abc_defYYYYMMDD.xls. would i be able to find the latest file in the folder using the the datestamp (YYYYMMDD) in the filename.
Please note i would have files in other format and names with datestamp attached to it, so the code has to pick specific file for which the file name starts with 'abc_def'
I am trying to update a SQL table using an excel file which has 2 columns FMStyle and FMHSNum.
FMStyle is my link to the SQL table.
Here is what I have for code....
-------------------------------------------------- Update DataTEST.dbo.zzxstylr SET hs_num = (select FMHSNum FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', 'Excel 12.0;Database=c: empStyleHSCodesLoad.xls;HDR=YES ', [Sheet1$])) Where FMStyle = zzxstylr.style --------------------------------------------------
Everything seems to be ok except for the "Where FMStyle" is giving me a message Invalid Column name on FMStyle. Do I need to qualify FMStyle and if so how.
I have a bulk insert situation that would be nice to be able to pull off. I have a flat file with 46 columns that are to go into a table. The table, I want to have a 47th column to be updated later on by means of a stored proc saying if the import into the system was sucessful or not. I have the rowterminator set as '"' thinking that would tell SQL to begin on the next row, leaving the importstatus column null but i still receive an error.
First of all, is this idea possible within this insert statement. Secondly, if so, what would be the syntax to tell the insert statement to skip that particular column. It is the last column listed in the table so it just needs to start on the next row after it inserts the last bit of data in the flatfile.
If this is not possible, is it possible to bulk insert into a temp table?
I am facing a problem on validating the data from a flat file while inserting the data into the destination table of sql server 2005 database. In my package, i have to validate the input data whether the values are coming as null or not, before inserting into the destination database. The flat file may not contain data for all NOT NULL columns. I have to find out that row(s) and reject the record. If the rows are coming as Null for the Not Null columns, the OLEDB Destination throws OLEDB exception for the constraint.
To resolve this, i have an script component in data flow, to check whether the input data is coming as null. I have added the output column of boolean type to the script component, it will be assigned to TRUE when there is null for the Not Null column in the script.
And in the follwing conditional split, i am checking the flag for TRUE to reject the record.
Hi,I have an Excel file with 400 rows of old values and the correspondingnew values. My table currently has 10 columns out of which 3 columnsuse the old value specified in the excel file. I need to update thoseold values in the columns with the new values from the Excel file.Please guide me as to how to proceed with this.Thanks in advance!
we can easily load a file into db tables. However, my main concern here is the number of columns in the file. A text file TEXT_1400.txt has 1400 columns. I am unable to load data to my db table using BCP or BULK INSERT commands, as maximum of 1024 columns are allowed per table in SQL Server 2008.Â
We can still go ahead and create ‘Wide Table’ (a special table that holds up to 30,000 columns. The maximum size of a wide table row is 8,019 bytes.). But when operating on wide table, BCP/BULK INSERT commands still fail. After few hours of scratching my head over BCP and BULK INSERT, I observed that while inserting BCP/BULK INSERT commands are unable to identify SPARSE columns and skip these columns, which disturbs column mapping and results in data conversion and trancation errors.  Is there any proper way to load this kind of files into the db table?Â
So I have been trying to get mySQL query to work for a large database that I have. I have (lets say) two tables Table_One and Table_Two. Table_One has three columns: Type, Animal and TestID and Table_Two has 2 columns Test_Name and Test_ID. Example with values is below:
In Table_One all types come under one column and the values of all Types (Mammal, Fish, Bird, Reptile) come under another column (Animals). Table_One and Two can be linked by Test_ID
I am trying to create a table such as shown below:
This should be my final table. The approach I am currently using is to make multiple instances of Table_One and using joins to form this final table. So the column Bird, Reptile, Mammal and Fish all come from a different copy of Table_one.
For e.g
Select Test_Name AS 'Test_Name', Table_Bird.Animal AS 'Birds', Table_Mammal.Animal AS 'Mammal', Table_Reptile.Animal AS 'Reptile, Table_Fish.Animal AS 'Fish' From Table_One
[Code] .....
The problem with this query is it only works when all entries for Birds, Mammals, Reptiles and Fish have some value. If one field is empty as for Test_Two or Test_Three, it doesn't return that record. I used Or instead of And in the WHERE clause but that didn't work as well.
What is the easiest way to accomplish this task with SSIS?
Basically I have a stored procedure that unions multiple queries between databases. I need to be able to export this to a text file on a daily basis and add a total records: row to the end of the text file.
I have a Report I need to hide subtotals and total and include detail only when I am exporting to excel. So, is there a way to capture that it is exporting to Excel? Possibly a way to capture the rs:Format=Excel?
This is my first real exposure to using SSIS's Import Export Tool.
I am trying to create a package to move the data from a number of tables in SQL Server into a duplicate database in Oracle. I am invoking the Import/Export WIzard from within the Management Studio. I am using the SQL Server native client on the SQL Server side and the Microsoft OLE DB driver for Oracle for the Oracle database. Both of my tables have unicode data types. On the SQL Server side I have columns defined as NVARCHAR and on Oracle the same column is defined as NVARCHAR2.
When I initially select the table for export the wizard assumes that I want to create a new table. The new table has the correct column name, column order and data types (NVARCHAR2). I cannot tell it to append the data. If I add the table owner to the detination table name or use the GUI to pick it with the table owner...the data types for the NVARCHAR2 columns go away. I cannot edit the data types at this point and if I continue, SSIS barks at me that it doesn't know the data types of those columns. The problem also occurs if you use the wizard from inside of the BIDS. It seems to be OK with the data type unless the table pre-exists. This seems un-useful to me.
Is there a way to avoid this in the Import/Export Wizard? Am I doing something wrong?
I have an OLEDB source that uses a stored procedure which pivots records and returns me data with columns which are dynamic (Changing every time). How can I export this data with dynamic number of columns to excel destination?
We have a requirement to produce adhoc Excel reports with a standardized header page with a disclaimer attached. We want to be able to feed in a SQL Statement, or a table with the resultset from a SQL Statement and have SSIS populate an existing blank Excel workbook, which the disclaimer attached. The use of xp_cmdshell is not an option.I've spent a lot of time looking for solutions on the web and it seems though its not possible - although many articles are 3-5 years old. Before I throw in the towel, I just wanted to get feedback from this group if it still is not possible in the latest versions of SQLServer and SSIS, or to ask if there are any other 3rd party solutions that can do this today.
Nice topic, Hidden columns!! I read several threads about this topic. This is what I understood: when you hide a COLUMN based on an Expression when you render the report all the hidden columns takes space at the end of the report because the body doesn't rezise. It seems that there is no workaround, this is how RS works (any correction is appreciated) and I can leave with it because I don't have so much hidden columns.
My problem is that the background color of the columns of the table is RED and when I export the report to PDF, at the end of the table with the visible columns I have some columns red.. If these extra columns would be white it could be acceptable, but these red columns are really annoyng!
