I'm using a DTS package to copy data from a comma delimited text file into a datatable. The text file has close to 160,000 records. The transfer fails at record 120,000. The error message says "Column Delimiter not found". The particular row in the .csv file seems to have nothing wrong with it as far closed quotes and missing commas are concerned. Even if I delete the row, the error is thrown at the same row.
Microsoft has acknowledged this as a bug in SQL Server 2000 and has a service pack to fix it. But installing SP4 is not an option for me at this time. The workaround on Microsoft websire about adding a character or a line didn't work for me.
Is it possible that there's some character or a marker in the text file that stays even if I delete the row? I don't know how to fix this problem. Does anyone here knows a workaround?
Reading through the forums, I found some great imformation for importing/exporting an excel spreadsheet via a stored procedure, however, the amount of data I have won't fit in excel. Can someone help me Import a CSV file via a stored procedure? and Export a CSV file via a stored procedure? I don't know if XML is the answer or if there is another way. For many reasons, I don't want to use DTS or Bulk. We are currently using SQL Server 2000.
Firstly, I hope this question isn't asked too frequently but I found no existing reference to this situation....
I had a bunch of stored procedures in SQL 2k which imported and exported data to and from flat files using TEXTPTR, READTEXT, UPDATETEXT etc... The flat files were continuously changing so the filepath was a parameter for the sp.
The reason I used the pointer to flat files is because I didn't want to load the files in memory before commiting them ie. with TEXTPTR and UPDATETEXT I can import a 1Gb binary file 80000 bytes at a time and keep (precious) memory usage down.
I was accessing this procs from a C# application.
Since these methods are going to be phased out by the guys at MS what is the best way of importing/exporting very large binary files in SQL 2005?
As far as I can tell SSIS requires a Flat File Source Manager object which needs a static filepath - not good.
I need to export some data from SQL 2005 to a flat file, The data and flat file names will be dynamic and will be be fired programaticaly so I can't use DTS or SSIS.
In SQL2000 I did it using bcp, but that's quite a security hole so I don't want to use external utilities. I'll need to do something similar on another machine to import the data as well.
i am handling a project where user can choose the excel file and the field in the excel file to export into sql server 2005. which mean there will be dropdownlist where the user can choose the field and so on. anyone know how to do this?
I'm trying to import text file (generated by UNIX - collation ISO LATIN 2) into the database using SQL SERVER 2005 Import and Export Wizard. I have got a problem with importing a decimal number, because in that column are not only decimal numbers (that's OK), but there are also spaces (not null, the column is filled by spaces and it looks like | |). When I'm trying import that file, then will occur the problem of truncation and import stops.
I can import that data by BULK INSERT, but I would like to import it by Import and Export Wizard at once without using subsequent conversions.
I have a requirement to create many SSIS packages and no datatransform is required so the BCP task looks a good contender providing it can do both import & export
is it possible to parse the values in bold as package variables into the BCP task. If so how?
BULK INSERT ipcs_wvg.dbo.extract FROM 'D:IPCSextract.csv' WITH (FORMATFILE = 'D:ipcsqueryextract.xml');
Thanks in advance

I have a global database called ETL Configuration for all my SSIS packages that uses a single table. So I can create three global variables
USE [ETLConfiguration] CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SSIS Configurations]( [ConfigurationFilter] [nvarchar](255) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL, [ConfiguredValue] [nvarchar](255) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL, [PackagePath] [nvarchar](255) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL, [ConfiguredValueType] [nvarchar](20) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ) ON [PRIMARY]
I have looked at lots of options to automaticly create SSIS packages and have a hunch that that simple can be better: All these solutions look way to complex to what I want to achieve--
Just attempting to import a simple tab delimited text file into my SQL Server 2005 database using the SQL Server Import and Export wizard. Column names are specified within the first line of the file. The Header Rows to Skip field value is listed as 0, but the wizard indicates that "The field, Header rows to skip, does not contain a valid numeric value".
Why isn't zero (0) a valid numeric value? I don't want to skip any rows. PLUS, I get the same error when trying to export to a text file although the header rows to skip field does not exist. I can increase the number to 1 or more, but the wizard will skip part of my data .. unacceptable.
What am I missing here? I installed SP1 of SQL server 2005, but that did not help.
I want to import a txt file data to a sql server database table, to do this i used sql server import and export wizard. In this when we choose a Data Source, the option Flat file source is not coming up in the combo box in the wizard.

steps 1. right click on the database --> all tasks --> import data --> sql server import export wizard --> choose data source dialog box....
A view named "Viw_Labour_Cost_By_Service_Order_No" has been created and can be run successfully on the server.

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.". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc020801c: Data Flow Task: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "SourceConnectionOLEDB" failed with error code 0xC0202009. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
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'm trying to export data from a SQL Server 2005 database to a DB2 database through SSIS. However, I keep getting an error that says "Could not retrieve table list" with Invalid Conversion. SQLSTATE=07006. Does anybody have any ideas or what the problem could be? -Kyle

I need to import a database from Sybase database. Tell me the best way in solving this issue.
I had already tired using DTS package, which is not working properly, since i could not get Primary keys, foriegn keys. But i am able to get rows back. It is real pain in bud to write a script to create Primary keys and foreign keys.
Is there is any way to solve this issue.. If so, let me know ASAP.. since i have a deadline by this week end..
I am trying to design an import/export utility but keep coming up against the problem of row and column delimiters. Our data has every possible combination of delimiters in the data itself so of course this causes the import to fail.
Basically I need a way to export and import a given table to a text file. Is there any way to solve this without continually worrying about delimiters.
Q: Whenever I do import or export one database to another in SQL7, it does transfer all objects and it fails at users/permission transfer. I tried different options but the same. The odd thing when you look at the error msg every time it fails at different user.
I have a development environment and a test environment... I would like to create a batch file of sorts in which I can backup (I would export in oracle) the development environment, objects and data, and restore (import in oracle) forced restore over the test environment. The reason for this is that we are a fast paced development team and it is important for us to update the test environment on demand. This may happen two-three times a day and the dba (me) is not always available to perform this task.
Actually I am trying to transfer data and tables from production server to devlopment server. When I try it I get a error 'You cannot copy objects when the source and destination databases are same'
Database Name is same but I have source & destination server is different. Is it because I have @@servername is NUll? I don't know how it became NULL. How I can change it?
I am trying to export data from a database in MS-SQL server and import the same to a database in DB2 UDb v7.2 on AIX5. While trying to do this, I am getting some errors "table name is undefined" and "drivers are not capable."

Hi I am using CSV (comma delimeted file) for exporting data from sql server table to CSV and then import to sql server from the CSV. Now I have a problem, I could sucessfully export the data to CSV, but one of the field which has whole html for each product is giving me problem, It wouldnt save in one cell as for other data items in a record are. If I remove that field, the rest of records are exported okay, but with this one, it do export, but the data wouldnt go to one cell of the excel file and hence wouldnt work in importing to sql. I guess some tags in the string is creating problem plus also what should I do if the string already have comma as data, and we use comma as delimiting character. Any kind of help greatly appreciated
EDIT: Below is a sample of html thats already saved in one field but wouldnt come to one excel cell when exported to CSV... <P><TABLE class=content cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=2 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR vAlign=top><TD><STRONG>Product</STRONG></TD><TD>XXXX</TD></TR><TR vAlign=top><TD width="46%"><STRONG>XXXX</STRONG></TD><TD width="54%">XXXX </TD></TR><TR vAlign=top><TD><STRONG>XXXX</STRONG></TD><TD>XXXX</TD></TR><TR vAlign=top><TD><STRONG>XXXX</STRONG></TD><TD>up to 4MB/s</TD></TR><TR vAlign=top><TD><STRONG>XXXX</STRONG></TD><TD>XXXXX<TR vAlign=top><TD><STRONG>XXXX</STRONG></TD><TD>XXXX</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><TABLE class=content cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=2 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR vAlign=top><TD><STRONG>XXXXX</STRONG></TD><TD>XXXXX</TD></TR><TR vAlign=top><TD><STRONG>XXXX</STRONG></TD><TD>XXXX</TD></TR><TR vAlign=top><TD><STRONG>XXXX</STRONG></TD><TD>XXXXX</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><A href="http://www.xxx.xxx" target=_blank><BR><BR>xXXX</A><BR><BR>Â </P> Regards Mykhan
