in sqlserver 2008, under edit/insert file as text, the default path
is my documents/management studio/projects. Can that path be changed?
I've looked under tools/options but don't see where or how.
Thanks for any response!
I have populated an SQLdata table from an XML datasource usinmg the bulk command. In my SQL table is a new column that is not in the XML table which I would like to set to a default value. Would anyone know the best way to do this. So far I can's see how to add this value in the Bulk command. I am happy to create a new command that updates all the null values of this field to a default value but can't seem to do this either as a SQLdatasource or a APP Code/ Dataset. Any suggestions or examples where I can do this.Many thanks in advance

I want to merge in a Datawarehouse, data of "source databases"
I need to insert on destination inserted rows a default value, acording to the datasource of the rows.
Something like in the field <SOURCE> fill on correspondent ROW the value <DATASOURCE1>
the row data is filled with default DATASOURCE value.
in nowdays i can extract and load the data of sources but i know how i can do this inserts,
thx.
I'm trying to run the query given below but iFile.Pathname is underlined in red.
Query: SELECT top 1 iFile.Pathname AS 'PathName' FROM Videos
Error: Cannot find either column "iFile" or the user-defined function or aggregate "iFile.Pathname", or the name is ambiguous.
Do I need to run a procedure?
I have a data load process that reads data from flat file into a Stage table in sql server. The order of the records in the stage table is exactly same as the order in the flat file. The identity column on the Stage table (which is also the clustered index) represents the exact line/row number of the data in the filat file. I perform some transformations on the data in the stage table and then insert it into a cumulative table which has a clustered index on an identity column again. When I do this, does the order of the data in the cumulative table be in the same order as the data in the stage table? Anyone, please let me know if I can rely on SQL server to maintain the same order or I will be forcing a sort order on the Identity column (clustered index) of the stage table when I insert the data into a cumulative table.
Thanks in advance!!

Hello friends....
I am looking for 2 things(using c#.net or vb.net and sql svr 2000)
1.convert data from sql server 2000 database (say customers table from northwinds database) to a text file(separated by commas or just plain space)
2.Insert the data from text file back to database.
Can someone pls give me the detailed code to achieve this....really need this on urgent basis.......Thank You.
I am using a Foreach loop container to go thru all the files downloaded from the ftp site and I am assigning the file name of each file to a variable at the foreach loop level called filename. In the dataflow task inside the foreach loop container, I have a source script component that uses a flat file connection. The connection string of the flat file connection is set to the filename variable declared at the foreach loop level. However the script component has a error System.ArgumentException: Empty pathname is not legal.
Please let me know how to correct this? The connectionString property of the flat file connection is set to the complete filename including the path. Does a script component need to have a flat file name specified in the flat file connection that it is using? I need to have a script source component as the flat file I am reading from is not in any of the standard formats.
The flat file connection manager's connection string property is blanked out the moment I specify an Expression for the connection string. Is this a defect or is it expected behavior.
Any inputs appreciated.

this
"want to hest this out.

Hi SQL Gurus,
I have an XML question to which I am kind of new.
I have an XML string that I get by using a query similar to the following....
SELECT 1 AS Tag,
NULL AS Parent,
NULL AS [Zip_ROOT!1!],
NULL AS [Zip!2!Value!element],
NULL AS [Zip!2!State!element]
FROM ZipCodes
UNION
SELECT 2,
1,
NULL,
Zip,
State
FROM ZipCodes where id < 3
FOR XML EXPLICIT
This returns an XML string, which is very long. I need to take this string and INSERT/UPDATE to a Text column in a table.
Any kind of help in this regard will be grately appreciated.

I have an odd issue with a stored procedure using output parameters and a database text field.
I am using custom VB6 COM+ objects in the middle tier and SQL Server 2000 on the back end. The stored procedure has an int as it's first parameter; it is an output parameter which gets set to @@IDENTITY after the data is written to the tables. The last parameter is a text.
The COM+ object executes the proc; ADO 2.7 incorrectly identifies the text parameter as an adVarChar, so I explicitely convert it to an adLongVarChar when I detect that the incoming data is > 8000 characters.
The proc writes the data correctly to the database in all cases. However, when the data is > 8000 characters, SQL doesn't appear to correctly set the output variable. No errors are generated, I simply don't get any value written to the variable. I've searched through MS's documentation, but can't seem to find anything on this issue.
Any help or thoughts are appreciated.

View 9 Replies View RelatedHello all,
I have a question regarding importing text file data into SQL Server. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction, as my searches haven't turned up anything specific enough.
I'm trying to parse a large (24MB) text file. It's a fixed-width file, with multiple columns. I need to parse this file, check if a record already exists, and then import the data into the database. But I don't need to insert every column. There's only a few columns from the file I need to insert. This parsing also needs to occur at regular intervals (daily).
I looked at BULK INSERT, but I can't find an example that uses only some of the columns. Every example uses all columns, and the file is delimited, not fixed-width.
Is there anything within SQL Server that can accomplish this? I haven't turned up anything that will solve my problem. The only other solution I can think of is an application that parses the file for me and inserts the data into the database. But can I schedule that application to run every night at midnight (for example) through SQL Server?
I'm not too familiar with SQL Server, so I appreciate any help offered.
Thanks,Jay

If this is the wrong place for this question, would someone please tell me so. I am new to SQL Server and still feeling out resources. I have a few books on SQL Server but none cover this question.
I have a text file of dates and numbers that I want to insert into a table. There are way too many rows of data in the file to do this by hand.

I am running into a problem inserting large amounts of text into my table. Everything works well when I test with a few simple words but when I try to do a test with larger amounts of text (ie 35,000 characters) the appropriate field is left blank. The Insert still performs (all the other fields recieve their data, but the "Description" field is blank. I have tried this with both "text" and "ntext" datatypes. I am using a stored procedure with input parameters. As I mentioned, the query goes off flawlessly with small amounts of data (eg "Hi there!") but not with the larger amount.I check and the ntext field claims to be able to accept 1073741823 bytes of data. Is there some other thing I should consider with large amounts of text?

I have written up a grid consisting of properties and units.The way it works is we have properties, and within properties there are units. They are two seperate tables.Some properties do not have any units so in the unit reference (UN_UREF) column for those records which do not have units and are NULL I would like to insert the text 'NO UNIT'.Please see below for my SQL for the grid which works fine.
create or replace view VWC_PROPMKUNIT_TEST AS ( SELECT
PR_SNAM, PR_NAME, PR_ADD1, PR_ADD2, PR_ADD3, PR_ADD4, PR_ADD5, PR_ADD6,
PR_POST, PR_OWN, UN_UREF, UN_NAME, UN_GFA
FROM PROP
LEFT JOIN UNIT
ON PR_SNAM=UN_BREF);
All I need to do now is insert 'NO UNIT' within the Unit Reference column where it is NULL.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have an application taht requires the use of a table. The device that this application works on, has a local memory that does not allow me to insert the 800,000 records that I need. Therefore I have two approaches:
1. To insert less records into my local memory database e.g 40,000 but not row by row, bulk insert is better. How do I do the bulk insert?
2. This is the most prefferable way: To find a way to insert all 800,000 records into a table on the storage card which is 1GB. What do you suggest? Will using threads be helpfull? Any ideas?
I use C# from VS 2005, SQL ME, compact framework 2.0 and windows 4.2.

I have a Detailsview with Insert and Update options connected to a SQL 2005 table with templated textboxes for input. The textboxes have maxlength set to the number of characters in each respective field in the SQL 2005 table. When text is inserted it gets padded with spaces if all the field length is not used. When you try to edit the field the cursor does not move because of the padded spaces. The End key must be pressed to find the end of the string and the padded space removed before adding edited text. I am working in VB.net. If I check the field in SQL Studio Express is shows the text I typed plus blank space for the remainder of the field.
My question is how can I add text to the textboxes without the padded spaces being added when the maxlength of the field is not used?
See attached image...
The columns are of type text
I made this insert stmt using a stored proc...
I mean the [text] field values from another table is converted to varchar(max) and then to VARBINARY(max) and then to HEX value.
Why this error only when I try to insert to this particular column [[Conclusions]] ?
Other columns ( of type text ) did not have this issue
GETDATE() works alone as default in a DateTime column, but:
1) How do you include current Date concatenated with text like:
- Column default Value = 'Submitted 2007-07-30 13:15:54.953'
2) is it possible to truncate that DateTime value (deleting the seconds 54.953)
- Final Column default Value = 'Submitted 2007-07-30 13:15'
Thinking Cast or convert but unsuccessful to date:
- 'Submitted ' + Cast(CHAR(16),GETDATE()) ???
Here is the error message that I'm getting
Error string: Error opening datafile: The system cannot find the path specified.
The file it's bombing out on is the text file that Im importing into one of my tables through a dts package (which is getting called by the dtsrun statement -- that is giving off this message.) If anyone would know what may be sending this message off to me let me know.
Thanks in advance.

I am trying to insert an NTEXT value from one table T1 to another table T2 within a database. Table structures are as below;
Create table T1 (T1ID INT NOT NUll, SourceColumn Ntext null)
Create table T2 (T2ID INT NOT NUll, TargetColumn NVARCHAR(MAX) null)
Every time when long text value is getting inserted into T2.TargetColumn , it is appending with an unwanted character '?' either at the beginning or at the ending of the text string. Same problem happens even when I am trying to update T2.TargetColumn = T1.TextColumn. Because of this, the same column never matches to the source column and gets updated every time even there is no change...
I am also converting NTEXT column to NVARCHAR(MAX) and replacing CHAR(10) to '' .
I am using SQL Server 2012. How can I avoid inserting '?' in T2.TargetColumn . Is there any setting which I need to set in the target table?
