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....
Still really new at all this, but learning lots thanks to this forum.
I was wondering - is there a way to import Access tables into my SQL Server 2005 ?
(The Data and the Table Design?)
I would like to know:
How can I import tables from the Enterprise Manager to Excel (copy and paste)?
Is it possible?
thanks
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 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 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">

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 have problems importing tables from db2 using the import wizard using IBM OLE DB Provider for DB2
The tables and data ('Preview...') can be viewed but when trying to map the columns ('Edit...' next to the tables) or import the data an error is recieved
[DB2/NT] SQL0443N Routine "SYSIBM.SQLCOLUMNS" (specific name "COLUMNS") has returned an error SQLSTATE with diagnostic text "SYSIBM:CLI:-727". SQLSTATE=38553
Schemas is used in both DB2 and Sql 2005
There is no problem importing to Sql 2000
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.
Hi all,
I've just installed the Sql Server 2005 Express Ed + Management Studio Express and I can't get how to import data from a MS Access 2003 file. From what I've read is not possible to do through the Management Studio Express so is there any other tool to do that?
Thanks in advance,

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?

I have 1 Excel spreadsheet. It has about 50 fields. I need to import this into my Database.The problem is; there are 2 tables that I need to import this into. These 2 tables are related with [ID].So, I need to split the data from 1 spreadsheet between 2 SQL server table. and keep the records related.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
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.

We are trying to use SSIS Import export wizrd to import the flat files (CSV format) that we have into MS SQL Server 2005 database tables. We have huge number of CSV files. Is there a way by which we can import these flat (CSV) files in to corresponding SQL server tables in a single shot. I would really appreciate this help as it is painful to convert each and every file using the Import Export wizard.
Thank you very much,

I have a text file which contains the data that has to be inserted into multiple tables.The columnames of table 1 form the H1 follwed by Details D1,D1,D1...
The column names of table two form the H2 followed by details D2,D2,D2 so on and similarly for Table 3.
Am using a link server to the file directory and schema.ini which defines the column names fofr the text file
Is there any way of defining column names for more than one table through the schema.ini? or is there any other way through I can parse the text file contents to multiple tables?
Sample text file:
H1,JobDate,JobNumber,FileName,
D1,13/02/2008,asdf123,text1.txt
D1,13/02/2008,asdf123,text2.txt
D1,13/02/2008,asdf123,text3.txt
H2,PagesUsed,PagesPrinted,Pages emailed
D2,10,10,9
D2,1000,100,99
D2,50,22,93
Schema.Ini - defined for the first table
[LogConfig.txt]
Format=CSVDelimited
CharacterSet=ANSI
ColNameHeaders=true
Col1=JobDateText Width 20
Col2=JobNumberText Width 20
Col3=FileName Text Width 100
Hoe do i define the column names for the second table. All these contents are in a single text file and need to be parsed only thru sql.
Any help/suggestions are welcome..
Thanks a lot for taking time to read this.
