How To Import Tables From Other Database
Apr 13, 2007
Hi there,
I am having difficulties in importing table from one sql server database file to another sql server database file.
A few months ago, I converted access file to ms sql express file. I had made many changes on the ms sql express file, however, the data in this file isn't the latest as the old system is still being used. Now, I want to deploy my new system, I need to import in necessary tables from the old system database, as well as, I want to retain the tables and data I created on the ms sql express file that I have been using so far for development and testing.
May I know how to import tables from other database? Just as in ms access where we can import tables from other access file. I'm using sql express 2005 and sql server management tool. Any advice/help is very much appreciated.
Thanks....

I am new to SSIS. I have been struggling with this for the past one week. I have a weird task. I need to import several tables from one database to a different server with a new database name. We need to do this at the end of every year. The main problem here is that the number of tables varies every year. You may not have all the tables as last year or may have more tables. So I need to create a dynamic task that takes care of this every year without changing the package.
I have performed the following tasks **
1. Create a new dynamic database. ( I have used Execute SQL Task to do this) 2. Copy all the table structures ( I have used Execute SQL Task to do this)
3. Import Data. This is the main problem. I was trying to create a dynamic connection string with variables as suggested in several forums but I finally came to know that this cannot be done if the table structures are different as the metadata cannot be refreshed at runtime.
4. The final step to create a process to validate the data (the count from each table for both source and destination. I think this can be done with Sql task.
What is the best method to do this? My DBA does not like “Transfer SQL Objects Task” or “transfer Database Task”. I would like to create this as a dynamic process.

We just upgraded from SQL Server 2000 to 2005. In the past, when I ran the import/export wizard to copy multiple tables from one database to another with SQL Server 2000, I had no problem. Now when I used the import/export wizard to copy multiple tables with SQL Server 2005, I kept getting an error. For example, when copied three tables, the first table might be copied fine and I got an error with the second table and the whole thing stop. Sometimes I could copy two tables. However, when I ran the import/export wizard to copy each table one at a time, it worked.
The error that I got was "Cannot insert duplicate key in object..." I selected the options to "Delete rows in existing destination tables", and "Enable identity insert". What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to simplify a query given to me by one of my collegues written using the query designer of Access. Looking at the query there seem to be some syntax differences, so to see if this was the case I thought I would import the database to my SQL Server Developer edition.
I tried to start the wizard from within SQL Server Management Studio Express as shown in one of the articles on MSDN which did not work, but the manual method also suggested did work.
Trouble is that it gets most of the way through the import until it spews forth the following error messages:
- Prepare for Execute (Error)
Messages
Error 0xc0202009: {332B4EB1-AF51-4FFF-A3C9-3AEE594FCB11}: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft JET Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Could not start session. Too many sessions already active.".

Error 0xc004701a: Data Flow Task: component "Source 33 - ATable" (2065) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020801C.
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard).
There does not seem to be any method of specifying a number of sessions, so I don't see how to get round the problem.
Does anyone know how I can get the import to work?

I am really new to SQL Server so be patient i guess. I have installed sql server 2005 on my home computer but at first i wasnt able to connect to the server at school where i had started creating tables already. Instead of going up to the school i opted to do it from home and start over. Well I am wondering if there is a way to copy all the tables that i have created on my home computer and just import them into the database on the server at school. Hope this isnt confusing. Anyways, this forum always has helped me in the past, so i am confident someone will be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

i am using sql server express edition.
i need to import (or make copies) on a weekly/daily basis, of several oracle tables into a new adp database.
what is the fastest option? some of these tables hold over 1m records.
so ideally i would like to schedule a refresh or update job outside busy hours.
I have heard of "linked servers" and "dts", but would like some experts advice before starting looking into this.
many thanks

I have some Access tables that I want to import into SQL. I can do this using the AllTasks/ImportData. However if my Access table has a zero length string in a field this is imported into the SQL table as <NULL>. How can I make it import it as a zero length string ?

I am an SQL newbie and despite 3 hours on the Internet this morning I am still confused!
I have some XML tables that I want to import into my SQLExpress database.
I have followed the example at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316005 How to import XML into SQL Server with the XML Bulk Load component.
I understand the example but when I run the vb code:
Set objBL = CreateObject("SQLXMLBulkLoad.SQLXMLBulkLoad")
objBL.ConnectionString = "provider=SQLOLEDB.1;data source=MySQLServer;database=MyDatabase;uid=MyAccount;pwd=MyPassword"
objBL.ErrorLogFile = "c:error.log"
objBL.Execute "c:customermapping.xml", "c:customers.xml"
Set objBL = Nothing
I get an error message saying that ActiveX cannot create object 'SQLXMLBulkLoad.SQLXMLBulkLoad'.
I have SSMSE and the databse on my PC harddrive.
What am I missing here?
Thanks in antcipation.

Hi, I am trying to import an XML file to SQL tables using SSIS, Data Flow Task --> XML Source --> OLEDB destination.
I have both the XML file and its xsd file.
The extraction of the XML file output 5 tables (mc, r, i, bc and c, have relationship among them). My problem is that one of the tables is empty (table mc). I tried to add a "root" node to the XML file (the xsd file was modified too), and all 5 tables were populated correctly. Is there any other way to fix this problem without manually changing the XML file?
The XML file looks like this:
<mc MajCmd="Atlantic">
<r Region="East">
<i Installation_UIC="M00146" Installation_Name="Cherry Point">
<bc BC="111" BC_Title="Airways">
<c Restoration_Cost_C3="0.0000" Comment_Type="" Override_C_Rating="" Comment="" />
</bc>
</i>
</r>
</mc>
The xsd file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xschema id="NewDataSet" xmlns="" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:msdata="urnchemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata">
<xs:element name="mc">
<xs:complexType>
<xsequence>
<xs:element name="r" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:complexType>
<xsequence>
<xs:element name="i" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:complexType>
<xsequence>
<xs:element name="bc" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:complexType>
<xsequence>
<xs:element name="c" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">

</xsequence>
<xs:attribute name="Region" type="xstring" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xsequence>
<xs:attribute name="MajCmd" type="xstring" />
</xs:complexType>

Is there a way in SQL 2005 Express Edition to import/export data from another MSSQL Server? Something similar to the right click/ import table functionality of MSSQL2000.
I've read similar threads which all recommend using MS Access but there has to be a better way, right?

I'm trying to migrate some tables from 2000 to 2005. I used the wizard in SSIS to create a package bringing them in.
The first database I did this on it worked great, in no time.
However, I tried this on another database and I get a LOT of these:
Information: 0x4004800C at {0417E15E-7306-4DAD-BEDD-1FDB17390EB0}, DTS.Pipeline: The buffer manager detected that the system was low on virtual memory, but was unable to swap out any buffers. 2 buffers were considered and 2 were locked. Either not enough memory is available to the pipeline because not enough is installed, other processes are using it, or too many buffers are locked.
Now, some things to note:
1. I'm trying to do about 170 tables at once - although none of them are bigger than a MB
2. Copying files between these 2 servers is also taking a long time
Is it too many tables at once? Is it the actual pipeline between the servers? The message above seems to indicate that it is a problem local to the machine, and maybe our file-copying problem is just another issue entirely.

Quick Question!
If you have both invoice header lines and invoice detail lines in a comma delimited file, how can I get the data in the file to be imported into two different tables. I can produce a text file eg:
1,20,10/03/2002,39 High Street Any Town,,
2,20,Fluffy Slippers,2,Red,10.99
2,20,Pyjamas,3,Black,15.99
2,20,Trousers,1,Lilac,24.99
1,21,10/03/2002,11 Gibson Close,
2,21,Sandles,1,Black,12.99
2,21,Shoes,4,Blue,23.99
1,22,13/03/2002,45 Mill Street,
2,22,Womble Feet,4,White,16.99
2,22,Glass Slipper,1,Transparent,23.99
Lines with 1 in the first column should go in the InvoiceHeader table
Lines with 2 in the first column should go in the InvoiceDetails table.
I have tried with DTS but to no avial - ActiveX scrips in the Transform Data Task can only seem to access one data destination - it one table not two.
Any Ideas?

Hi,
I am using DTS in SQL server2k
What is the best way to insert CSV records, where 1 record maps onto multiple tables with parent/child or PK/FK relationship.
eg.
CSV record
(ID, param1, param2, param3)
ParentTable(ID as PK)
Param1Table(ID as FK in ParentTable, param1)
Param2Table(ID as FK in ParentTable, param2)
Param3Table(ID as FK in ParentTable, param3)
Currently i am using multiple Transform Data tasks with ActiveX script. But it seems to work slow.
Thanks and regards,

Hi There,
I am trying to create a DTS package that will import dbf tables. My problem is that the data was created back in the pre-dos 5 days, so to save room they took the dates and convert them to 2 characters.
Now I would like to import these tables and conver the date back. I do have a Function that I can run in FoxPro to "Unpack" these dates.
CODE
Function UnPackDate( cDate )
*!*PARAMETERS: f_datestr - Character (manditory). This should be a two
**!* byte string created with PACKDATE().
*!*
*!* RETURNS: A date from 1/1/1970 and 11/29/2126
If EMPTY(cDate)
Return {//}
Endif
Local nDate
nDate = (ASC( LEFT(cDate,1) ) * 256) + ASC( RIGHT(cDate,1))
Return ( CTOD("01/01/1970") + nDate - 8225 )
*================================================= ======================
Does anyone know how to take this function and make it work while doing an import?
Thanks

Hi
I have to import some Access 2003 tables into a SQL Server 2005. Since I have to do this every 6 months (different Access db into same SQL-Server) and since I have to check every single row I can't do it with the import data wizzard. I need to import the access tables into "temporary" tables in sql server and from there I'll put the rows into the correct tables...
Does anyone know how to import Access tables into SQL-Server 2005 with C#?
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
I want to import into an MDB table a csv file.
I'm trying to use the bulk copy table.
my function is:
SQL = "SELECT * INTO [my_table] FROM [ODBC;Driver=Micrsoft text driver (*.txt; *csv) ;Dbq=c:\;Extensions=asc,csv,tab,txt;].table.csv"
db.OpenEx( "Driver=Microsoft Access Driver .mdb);DBQ=c:\access.mdb;", CDatabase::noOdbcDialog );
db.ExecuteSQL( SQL );
when i run this function i get an error : "You cannot use ODBC to import from, export to, or link an external Microsoft Jet or ISAM database table to your database"
when i try to import in the same way a dbf file (insted the csv file) with VFP it's working well.
what seems to be the problem? how can i fix it? or if some one know how can i import a large csv file into access DB in an efficient diffrent way?
thanks ishay

I followed the steps outlined in
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337084.aspx
and was successful at importing ".dbf" files from a dBase 7.0 folder.
However, this import was quite slow: approx. 2000 rows per second. Some of the tables I must import have over 8,000,000 rows, which would then take 4,000 seconds, or over one hour. This import rate seems unaffected by whether or not I put a "Copy Column" Data Flow Transformation task between the "OLE DB Source" and "OLE DB Destination" objects.
In SQL Server 2000 it was much faster to import such large tables. The 8 million row table takes only 14 minutes (800 seconds) with SQL Server 2000 -- giving a transfer rate approx. 5 times as fast.
Is there any way to speed up this process in SQL Server 2005? (In SQL Server 2000 there was a "Use fast load" option on the "Options" tab of the "Transform Data Task Properties." I have not yet found any similar option for SQL Server 2005.)
My receiving database is using the "Simple" model, so there is no need to create transaction entries for loading these large tables. There are also no indexes on these tables: the data are being loaded into new tables created in SSIS.
Thanks for your help with this issue.

I have a report that's created each day as a flat textfile.Because I came from the Access world, I created a macro that importsit with a schema that gives meaningful names to the various columns,and then uses a query to massage some of the data for me (deletes thefirst blank row and does a couple of calculations)Then I use DTS to import the Access query as a table.the textfile has a column called "File_num", and among several others,a column called "Serial_num". (the file numbers represent shipments,and sometimes there are more than one serial number in the shipment,etc., so there is a separate line for every serial number)Naturally, I would like to split this info into two tables..one thatdoes not contain the serial numbers and has a primary key on the"File_num" column, and another table that would contain just the"File_num" and "Serial_num" columns. That way I could relate themlater...but most importantly, it will give me a table where I can usethe "File_num" as my primary key.What would be the best way to import these two tables from one sourcetextfile? The other thing that gives me problems is that the textfile has no column names, and the first row is always blank.I'm very new to SQL and DTS and would appreciate any direction.Thanks,Larry- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -"Forget it, Jake.

I'm trying to import data from an Oracle database into SQL Express. Basically I have a database that's local to my machine (C# front end with a SQL express back end) but I need to tie in some data from an Oracle database. The reason I'm trying to import it instead of just using a connection in C# to hit it is that I need to be able to access the tables while I'm offline so I need a local copy. I couldn't find any references on doing it through stored procedures or anything like that. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.
