Load Some Old CVS Files Created In The Year 2005?
Jun 2, 2012I'm having an issue trying to load some old CVS files created in the year 2005. I'm using SQL server 2008 express edition for now. I've never seen files in this format. For reason, i can't go into, i can't user SSIS and need to load them using the bulkinsert comand. the files contain about 20 fields with a mix of numerics and text. the text fields are delimited by 2 sets of quotes, and a , and the numeric fields by just a , with each line contained in double quotes.
ex """abc"",12,198504,""tom"",""Smith"",49,3322,""mai n st."""
how to define the format file so that i can remove the "" quotes before and after each text field and how to remove the set of quotes that each record is enclosed with.

Linked Server To Text Files: Is Possible To Detect Changes Made To Those Files? (SQL Server 2005)
Sep 3, 2007Hi gurus,
I've created a linked server (and set up the corresponding schema.ini file) in order to perform bulk-inserts from some CSV text files into SQL tables (from my standpoint the text files are just for reading purposes). The linked server works fine (I can select the data in the files without a problem).
Now the question: is possible to automatically detect when one or more of those files change in order to start the import process automatically? Something like having a trigger created on the CSV files Or there's no easy way to do that so I have, to say something, to create a Job that periodically checks if the files have changed programatically (say, recording each file's timestamp everytime is imported and comparing the recorded value with the current one, or whatever)?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Load Pdf Into SQL Server 2005
Feb 15, 2008Hi, I've read from a topic in this forum saying that we could store PDF files in a hard drive location and import the link into a table of database in SQL server 2005, but i don't know how. So I really appreciate if someone could show me how to write a store procedure or a scripto to do this?
And by the way, i have another question. From that PDF files link, is there any way that we could call that pdf files and print that files from SQL script or SQL store procedure. Thanks a lot

Load Images Into Sql Server 2005
Jun 5, 2006Hi There
I have not had much luck finding info in BOL for tsql or SSIS that tells one how to load images on the file system into sql server 2005.
All i have really been able to find is that IMAGE data type will not be used in future and that one should use a varbinary(max) data type.
I am thinking of using a for each file loop in SSIS, but then how do i load the images (.tif) into a sql server database table ? Perhaps i need to use a sql task with the filepath , or an active x script.
Anyway if anyone knows how i can load images from the file system into sql server 2005, please let me know.
Thanx
Best Way To Load Data From Text Files
Jan 22, 2006Hi,
I have problem I'm hoping someone can give me some pointers with.
I need to load data from several text files into one table. The format of the files are simple - each line is comma separated, with double quotes around each element e.g.
"parameter 1","value 1","parameter 2","value 2"....
"parameter 12","value 12","parameter 13","value 13"...
However, the files themselves will have different numbers of columns e.g file 1 may have 8 columns, file 2 may have 16 columns.
I'm going to load the data into a table that has at least as many columns as the longest file. The table columns are all varchar, and are named simply as [Col001] [Col002] [Col003] etc...
The first two columns of this table must be left empty during the load (I use these later on), so the data entry will start at [Col003].
My question is what is the best way to do this? I thought perhaps using a BULK INSERT in a stored procedure might do the trick, but I haven't used it before and haven't got very far. I gather another approach might be to use bcp utility. Someone has also suggested a DTS package, but the filenames will be suffixed with current date/time stamp, so i don't think that will work.
My preferred appraoch would be the BULK INSERT..but i'm open to any pointers.
Many Thanks

Parse XML To Load Files Inside Them
Apr 3, 2007Hi all,
is there a way we can parse a XML(file name lister) file that has a structure say,
<Node>
<Root>
<FullName>/My Documents/Documents/Feature/17470_652</FullName>
<ShortName>17470</ShortName>
<XMLFileName>17470_652.xml</XMLFileName>
<LastModifiedOn>12 December 2006</LastModifiedOn>
</Root>
...
...
...
</Node>
and get the values of all the <XMLFileName> attribute and load them into some variables,say here the filename is "17470_652.xml", I have to look for this file in a specified location, open the XML file and load the contents to a table ? It can be presumed that all the XML files will be stored in a same location
Load XML Files Into Tables Via SSIS
Jul 19, 2007Hi
I am new to SSIS and am looking to load XML files (with a DTD definition) into tables via a SSIS package. I have created a XML task and am able to load the XML and output it to file. I have also stripped out the DTD definition and am able through a dataflow using XML source an OLE db Destination load and map the XML to table sin my DB. But have no idea how to get the data in when it has a DTD definition included. I either want to put each file into a row in a table then query it. Or from the SSIS package input the relevant info into a set of staging tables or the real tables.
Any help/pointers would be appreciated.
How To Load And UnZip Files From FTP Directory
Mar 5, 2008
HI All,
I have Uzip Files to be loaded From ftp.companyname.com, the zip files get updated everyday thus i have to load the newly added files, the Zip file has got 13 text Files within it, the issue is:
1. how do i load it for the new zip file only, the zip files are shown below, i am trying using FTP Task, but need more info.
2. How do i UnZip it and and take the text files and then load them to sql server 2005, each text file has to be loaded to sql server tables.
3. How do i automate it, i mean every time i run the package (on Job based) it has to look the new file only, see the zip file below to understand what i am saying about.

03/04/2008 04:49PM 3,238,121 CompanyName_2008-03-03.zip
As you can see the Zip file names are the blues color, they are added at different time, thus what i need is only the current Zip file (i mean i have to Load only the newly added Zip file (recent one)). Thus the SSIS Task has to go to this FTP server and look the newly added zip file. After that i have Unzip it b/se i have 13 text files there, and then Load them to Sql Server 2005.
Please get help on this, the deadline is near by time, if possible try as soon as possible, I would like to say Thank you for every help you do and try.
Thanks,

Script Files Failed To Load Error
Feb 24, 2006Hi all,
I have a package with a number of script components. All are set "PreCompile=True".
Within a Sequence Container I have a set of five script tasks each followed by an Execute Process Task. Each pair is linked but the five pairs are independent (hope this makes sense).
The first pair executed successfully but the other four all failed with the "Script files failed to load" error.
Anyone have a clue why this might happen or what I might change to solve the problem?
The package is scheduled under SS Agent so I'm currently thinking of taking these steps out of SSIS and putting them into the job. Not ideal but at least I can have some confidence that it will work.
Any suggestions would be very welcome.
Cheers,
Andrew
SSIS Packages That Load Different Text Files Into Tables
Jan 25, 2013So i have about 80 different SSIS PAckages that load different text files into tables. each package has a config file that contains password, server name and user id. I want to forward these packages to a use who will execute them. So instead of giving the user 80 packages to execute manually, how do i put these packages into one parent package so that the user has to only execute this parent package instead of executing 80 different packages NB. package exec is manually. (we will automate later) so this is a temp measure.

SQL 2012 :: SSIS To Load Files From Two SFTP Location
May 18, 2015How to load files with similar format , from two different locations into same database with same ssis.
Lets say
Location 1: C:LoadFilesCust1APP_123445.txt
Location 2: D:LoadFilescust2VDD_543121.txt
Currently we have one ssis which loads and process files from C:LoadFilesCust1 only. we have to modify the existing package it to load files from Location 2 (D:LoadFilescust2) as well. Also while loading, the ssis should assign a value to existing column CustID depending upon the file name. File names always start with APP_ in first location. VDD_ in second location
Assign CUSTID as 100 if file name starts with APP_
Assign CUSTID as 200if file name starts with VDD_

Integration Services :: Load OR Import Files From Amazon S3
Jun 18, 2015Client uses an Amazon S3 bucket which they load flats files to .  They also expect files to be delivered there to.So at the minute I have an SSIS package (SQL2012 )  which I use to generate some files but then have to manually import the files to the S3 bucket as well as export others.Now Mike Yin ( For SQL2008R2 ) mentioned that you need to obtain PostgreSQL ODBC driver so that you can use the .Net ProvidersOdbc Data Provider for ADO.NET Source component to connect to the Amazon cloud storage. After that, you can use a OLE DB Destination to load the data to SQL Server database.Â
Installed both 32 and 64bit 9.03. New connection Manager ADO.NET  - New then drop the provider down to ODBC.Dataprovider.Then what ?  Do I put the S3 bucket address within the use connection string ?  Is there and example ? Why do I need the PostgreSQL ODBC as Im not connecting to a database just a S3 Bucket? Â

View 5 Replies View RelatedHow To Load/Unload Non-Graphical Files Into/From IMAGE Field?
Dec 13, 2007I want to be able to load and unload, byte-for-byte, a file to and from a field of data type IMAGE in a SQL Server CE database. The files are larger than 8000 bytes so IMAGE appears to be the way to go data type wise.
I'm using VB 2008 but pseudocode for any VS language would be awesome.
I was able to do this without much effort using ADODB and its stream object, fetching a recordset object and updating the appropriate data field one "chunk" of bytes at a time. I cannot for the life of me find a way of doing this using, for example, a SqlCeResultSet.
I've tried using ADODB to connect to a SqlCe SDF database file, using a connection string that I found online, and am able to write action and select queries successfully against the database... but when I try and return a recordset that is updatable, it returns an error. So no help there.
I've searched other threads in the forums, and online in general, and I've found information on loading/unloading graphic files using a memoryStream and the toArray method thereof, but this will not work as many of the files I want to load and unload as BLOBs are not graphical in nature. FileStreams do not implement the toArray method, so I can't just stream an arbitrary file's worth of bytes that way. I also do not want to change the original file in any fashion--e.g., a hash of the source file should be identical to the file after it has been loaded into the data field and then unloaded into a new file.
Any thoughts? Your help is MUCH appreciated!

Integration Services :: SSIS - How To Load 2 Different Excel Files To 2 Different Tables
Jul 29, 2015I have 2 different excel files file1 and file2. file1 should be loaded to table1 and file2 should be loaded to table2. Both of the files will have 1 sheet inside. Do I need to create separate excel source for file1 and file2? I mean file1 in one excel source and that will be connecting to 1 execute sql task. file2 in other excel source and that will be connecting to another execute sql task. Is this the way I should proceed or is there any looping should be done? I need to schedule this activity to run every week. So, I'll get new files every week with the same file names and sheet names. Do I need to consider anything for this requirement also?
I'm planning to do truncate and reload not an incremental load.
How To Load Several Excel Files In The Same Database (same Structure, But Column Format Different)
May 30, 2008Hello,
Here's my need :
In one directory there's several excels file. Theses file have the same structure :
col : LOOKID, LOOKNAME, ASMPID, ASMPNAME, LOOKTYPE, LTYP_NAME, PAR_TYPE, PTYP_NAME, PARAMETER, VALUE.
The problem is that the cell format of the PARAMETER col. is different bewteen excel files. It could be date, numeric, ... The col destination in sqlservr database is Varchar(10).
I've created the ssis package with a ForEach Loop, and in the ForEach loop I've created a Data Flow Task.
In the data Flow Task I've created an excell source file (using excel file with col PARAMETER in date format) with an OLE DB destination.
When I launch the package on the same excel file as the one using to create Excel Source object it's OK, no errors, and data in the sql table are OK.
But when I launch the package on Excel file with col. PARAMETER in numeric format, there's no execution errors, but in the destination table the value of the PARAMETER col. is transform in date format.
I tried to change in Excel source object the datatype of the input PARAMETER col, but I've got some compilations errors. It seems that SSIS recognize automaticaly excel source data type col. But may be I did something wrong in the excel source settings ?
Is there a way to force the excel source datatype with varchar(10) ?
I've also tried to do the treatment with an script task but my vb.net knowledge isn't enought to do that.
If you have some suggestions, I'm listening.
Thanks
