How To Load Dat File Which Has More Then 1024 Columns
Apr 21, 2008
Hello,
I had a dat file which has 4000 plus columns, When I tried to get imported the files through SSIS import/export wizard, I got the error that the files consists of columns more then 1024. As the base table in the Sql server 2005 can have not more then 1024.
When I tried to load the file in partial columns, I am getting different errors and not loading properly. There is any way this file can be loaded manullay script mode through SSIS.
I have a situation where I want to load the Excel file dynamically, and the excel file have different columns or even worksheet name. How I could approach this? I believe there's no way to modify the meta data (specifically the mapping) in the data flow.
Sorry for the basic question but what is the significance of 1024? Is this true in Oracle as well? Is it a Fibonacci number?(just kidding). But why is the limit 1024 as far as fields in a table or 1024 arguements in a stored procedure, etc? Thanks in advance for adding to the "nuts and bolts" of my knowledge.
Hello all,I have a field defined as VARCHAR(8000) yet it only accepts a maximum of 1024 characters. Does anyone know how I can save 8000 characters in a single field?Thanks,Bill.
Hi all, I have a strange situation. I have a field in the database that has to be a string type field of around 4000 characters.
So naturally I setup the field as type: varchar length: 4000
However when I try to put any text in this field I find that I can put no more than 1023 characters of ascii text in there.
To check if this was a max record length prob I setup a test table with only 2 fields: ID: int, PK, Identity longVarchar: varchar, 4000
and tried to put some ascii text into the field called longVarchar. Again the most I could put in was 1023 characters!
Thinking that it could just be that SQL svr box that was wacky, I tried it on another one with the same result.
I have tried using other field types (nvarchar, char) and have found that they all could only hold 1023 characters max, no matter what how high I defined the size of the field.
Try it out yourselves and see if you get the same result. Any useful suggestions would really be appreciated.
i suspect i know the answer to this already, but here goes anyway....i have a table that has field of varchar(2048), which once in a blue moon ineed to edit the data manually (until a bad character parser validates thedata before it's written ;-) )at the moment i'm doing this through enterprise manager (sql server 2000),opening the table then filtering using where clauses etc to see the recordsi'm interested in. i then edit the data direct in the results pane (purelybecause it's quicker than entering the UPDATE transact SQL). this is fineuntil i hit a record that has 1024 or more characters in the field. all ican do is delete all the data. if i try and paste the same data into thefield again, it'll truncate the record to the first 1024 chars (unconfirmed)despite the field being able to take double that.i've googled this and the result basically said "don't be lazy, do itthrough UPDATE transact SQL in the query analyser".anyone know if that's my only option or is there a patch / whatever to allowme to keep using entman as i lazily do at the mo?cheers!
About 500 images, each about 20KB, are transferred at a time. Here is the problem - when this script is run manually, all the images are inserted completely. When the script is run as part of a job (that has several other steps), the job step completes successfully and all the images are inserted, but every single one is truncated to the first 1024 bytes of the image. What this ends up looking like on the website is a a narrow strip of image instead of a complete image. Here are some other observations:
- When I changed the "Eur_RMISWebInterface_GetProductImagesForWeb" SP to only return 1 product image instead of 500 it still failed - The owner of the job is the same Windows user as the user I have been running the script manually as - I have tried changing the datatype of image_data from image to varbinary(max) but it made no difference
I want to load flat files into a single table. But the flat files can have variable number of columns upto a maximum of 10 columns. The table in my database has 10 columns in it. So in case if I load a flat file having 6 columns then rest of the columns in the table will have nulls. I don't want to use script task for this as I am not good in writing C#code.

I need to import data from csv-file to sdf-database (SQL CE 2.0). When I copy the csv-file to my mobile device, it thakes more than 1 hour. The sdf-File later has a size of 20MB.
If I create an sdf-File (SQL CE 3.0) on the desktop, it just thakes a few minutes.
Is it possible to create an sdf-File (SQL CE 2.0) on the desktop legally? My clients don't want to by the SQL-Server, because it should be an inexpensive solution.
Or is there another way to create the database with more performance?

Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to use DTS Transformation to load a test file to a view instead of a table? When I select from the DTS window, only tables are available for selections not the views.
We need to load a "master" flat file to SQL Server tables. The file is a dump from mainframe. Based on a field called "record_type", each record in the file has different columns. I would use the following as an example (the real file is much more complicated than this, but you get the idea):
If "M", the fields are "age", "gender", "birthdate", "state", "salary"
If "F", the fields are "age", "gender", "birthdate", "state", "company", "salary"
We need to load the file (only one file) into two different tables, M_table, and F_table. But I have researched and discovered in DTS the source (TEXT file) can not be queried against to filter on the gender field.
Since each record may have different number of fields, I cannot really load the flat file into a "staging" table.
Does anyone has any idea on how to achieve this? Thanks in advance!!!
I am after T-SQL code which will simply load the next T-log backup file from a network share folder to a warm standby db on a secondary server.What is needed is a Third server (server x), to participate in log shipping (MULTIPLE TARGETS).
Primary SERVER (SERVER A) Secondary SERVER (SERVER B) Log shipped to via GUI. THIRD SERVER (SERVER X) which will contain the same log shipped db from server A.
This will simply restore the logs from a network share to keep the db up to date.
as Declare @xml VARCHAR(MAX) Declare @i as int select @xml=BulkColumn from openrowset(bulk 'C:Documents and SettingsKasiDesktopote.xml', single_clob)as cse EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @i OUTPUT,@xml Select * From OpenXML(@i,'/college/cse',2) With (name varchar(50), rollno int, year int)
i got the output... but i want to give path as parameter during execution of procedure name. can anyone help me..
I have a file which has * as the field delimiter and ~ as the record delimiter, but I don't know how much columns each row will have. Only known is the maximum which can be 15.
The file looks something like: A1*A2*A3*~B1*B2~C1*C2*C3*C4*C5~
SO I have created a table with 15 columns(since 15 can be the max) but now when I try to insert it to that table, I inserts only the entire file into 1 single column.
The command which I am using is: BULK INSERT tablename FROM filename WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = '*' , ROWTERMINATOR = '~')
but this is not giving the correct output.
The output expected is A1 A2 A3 B1 B2 C1 C2 C3 C4 C5

we always get all versions of the DTS File. Could you help us to Load or Save only the last version of the file? Is there any option of this procedure sp_OAMethod (or other) that solve the problem?
I have deployed an MVC web app/SSAS database to our PROD machine and receive the following error:

The system cannot find the file specified. The OLAP database has been processed and contains data. Also, the MVC app contains a reference to Microsoft. AnalysisServices. AdomdClient.
I have also tried installing the SQL_AS_ADOMD.msi from: URL....
I'm in the process of migrating several SQL Server 2000 DTS packages to Integration Services packages. One of the old 2000 DTS packages used the SQLXML Bulk Loader component. In order to use the new SQLXML 4 COM object in my Script Task (to initiate the Bulk Loader using .NET code) I've used the tlbimp.exe tool to create a .NET wrapper DLL. I've placed the DLL in the appropriate directory (C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90SDKAssemblies), successfully added it to my project (with Intellisense working), but when I run the package it fails with the following error:
Could not load file or assembly 'SQLXMLBULKLOADLib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Note: I also tried placing the DLL in C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727 with no prevail.
I've confirm the file exists (and any dependencies) in their appropriate locations. Has anyone else run into this? Any help is much appreciated.
