I have data in excel files I want to import it to existing SQL Server database. I can use SQL Server built in import tool but before Importing, the data needs to be validated. What is the best way to do this?
Thanks
Hi,
Using SSIS, I am successfully importing data from excel files into a table in sql server 2005.
These excel files are ALWAYS open and are being updated from external sources i.e. third party tools.
After doing alot of investigations, I have reached the conclusions as follows:
When the excel files are NOT being updated, then the ssis package works
BUT when the excel files are being updated, then the ssis package does not work. The error is:
[Excel Source [749]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
Please note that the excel files MUST be open so that they get updated by the third party tool.
AND, every few minutes i.e. 5 mins, my ssis package should import these excel files.
Question:
How is it possible to load the excel data while it is being updated by external third party.
Thanks
It's very simple import, without any data modifications; from severalexcel files to one table.I tried the wisard and it gives me selection for only one file.I am not used to create DTS packages and schedule jobs, so I would needsome help.Thank youInna

Various excel files with the same structure will reside in a folder. These excel files should be exported daily in a Sql server table. If the data within the excel file according to an id is new then all data should be appended to the table, otherwise if the id exists in the sql server table then it must update the remaining corresponding fields.
I know how to export an excel file to a sql server table, i need some help in comparing the excel file data with the sql table so to make the appropriate updates.
Can anyone please help me get started?

p/s : The excel header is at the row 7.
While importing data from Excel source , some column is getting null value even though excel column has value.To Resolve the issue we tried with
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftOffice14.0Access Connectivity EngineEnginesExcel
1.Change the Value of the Row TypeGuessRows from 8 (Default value) to 0 and ImportMixedType = text
• xls
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftJet4.0EnginesExcel
1.Change the Value of the Row TypeGuessRows from 8 (Default value) to 0 and ImportMixedType = text
the connection string of the excel
UPPER(REVERSE(SUBSTRING( REVERSE(@[User::VarInputExcelFile]), 1, 5) ) ) == ".XLSX" ? "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + @[User::VarInputExcelFile] + ";Extended Properties="Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";":"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=" + @[User::VarInputExcelFile] + ";Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";"
by doing the above setting also , the column is coming as null from excel source even though there is data in excel.
Hi
I want to import excel in SSIS via sql command and change the data types. can anyone guide me on this or give me some sample command on how to change datatypes explicitly.
I'm importing a multi tab spreadsheet using Import wizard, which I understand to use the same internals as SSIS. The total number of columns in the spread sheet will be over 500. The import wizard defaults everything to varchar 255. I understand there is an XML file I can manipulate to change this and they are located
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server100DTSMappingFiles
Assuming one of these will control Excel defaults, which one is it? None of the names lend themselves to the Excel as a source. SqlClientToMSSql10?

I have created a stored procedure to handle xml data.
One of the inputs to this procedure is xmldata which is basically the contents of the xml in a file.
Now I would like to create a SSIS package that takes the xml files from the network and uses this SP.
Should I have a file system task inside a for loop container?
How do I get started on this please?
Thanks

The text file is fixed length and end with a carriage return and linefeed. Fields aren’t delimited.

I need some Help here!!!
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...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a script which imports the contents of a csv file from our CRM system and updates a table in my database. This works OK but the problems I have are that a) sometimes there is more than one file in the folder, and b) that I wish to move any csv files that have been imported into an archive folder. The csv files arrive with a time/datestamp and I currently rename them manually to FREXPORT before importing (the name is in the format FREXPORT_20141101_1217.csv).How do I:
1) get it to process the file without me having to manually rename the file(s) each time,
2) if there is more than 1 file in the folder process all the files and 3)move the correctly processed files to an archive folder which is: importarchive?
Ultimately, I would like the script to be run as a scheduled job, so it also has to deal with the fact that sometimes there will be no files to import too.

Hello
i'm trying to find out if SSIS is a right toolbox for importing of many SPSS-files into the large market research data warehouse.
A simplified version of SPSS-datasheet looks like this:
- many columns (up to 3000). some of them are interview attributes (InterviewID, Date, etc.) and variables, representing survey questions
- relative few rows with "cases" or "interviews"
- in cells there are answers to the questions (in columns) by respondent (in rows)
As first step i would like to unpivot the dataset in the following way:
- Pass-Through: all interview attributes, that shouldn't be unpivoted
- Input Columns: rest 2990 columns
- Destination Column: Question
- Pivot Key Value Column Name: Answer
It works allright, except that i has to manually define destination column for all 2990 input columns, which takes a lot of time (multiplied by the number of SPSS-files i want to import). Is there a way to automate this (default value for destination column and/or scripting?)
Many thanks for your help!
Does anyone have a completed script that will import Perfmon logs from csv format into an existing database that follows the SQL Log File Schema EG; CounterData, CounterDetails, DisplayToID tables accurately. I don't know enough T-SQL to get it right. Thanks for any input you may have.

Hello
I'm just starting with SQL and BIDS. I have created a xml-Import to SQL Server which works without any problem.
Now I like to import (daily) all xml-files of an appropriate Folder at once to the DB. The files will have different names each day.
I could not find any help in the internet to solve this problem.
Can someone give me an Idea how to import many xml-files out of the same folder to SQL?
Thanks & regards
