Import Data From PostgreSQL Into SQL Server 2005
Oct 17, 2007
I am trying to import one table from postgreSQL to SQL Server 2005 using sql server import and export wizard. When i test the connection after providing data source, location, username, password in the Data Link Properties section I get the message "Test Connection Succeeded". As soon as i press next to go onto next step i get the following error.
TITLE: SQL Server Import and Export Wizard
------------------------------
Cannot get string literals from the database connection "Provider=PostgreSQL.1;User ID=sa;Data Source=localhost;Location=TestMasterMap;Extended Properties=".
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object. (DTSWizard)
------------------------------
BUTTONS:
OK
------------------------------
I have tried all sorts of different combinations for these properties but it always fails on this step. Can anybody help me with this?

Hi,
I´m building an aplication with VB.net and SQL Server 9, but in the future it will be compatible with PostgreSQL (by another developer), so my question is, if anyone knows what "data types" in SQL Server 9 i must use to maintain compatibility with PostgreSQL, so that when the time come for the conversion i don t have to chage the "Data Types" on each table.
Any help would be apreciated.

I am faced with the following dilemma: I have a Windows desktop application developed in Visual Basic .NET, it's a fairly large size, about 100,000 lines of code. I developed it in Visual Studio .NET 2003 and I recently converted it to Visual Studio 2005. My database is PostgreSQL 7.4. I have roughly 500 database objects, i.e. tables, views, sequences, and functions, in it. My biggest table probably has a few hundred thousand records in it.
Another developer in my company will soon be starting work on a Web application that will be pulling its data from the same database as the above mentioned Windows application. So basically we have a situation where two different applications, a Windows and a Web one, have to access the same database.
Currently the plan is to develop the Web application in ColdFusion. However, since I already have a large-scale application in VB.NET that will be accessing the same database I was thinking it might be a better idea to develop the Web application in ASP.NET, seeing as how ASP.NET is VB.NET. That would present more opportunities for the two applications to interact with each other.
And in that vain, my dilemma is this, should I switch my database to SQL Server 2005 or should I stay with PostgreSQL? I am happy with PostgreSQL so far but if I have one VB.NET and one ASP.NET application, doesn't it make more sense to have SQL Server database?
I know that PostgreSQL is free and SQL Sever costs money, but what about SQL Server Express 2005? That's free too, but how much of the functionality of SQL Server 2005 does it support? The organization I work for is small and it would be hard to convince management to spend money on a commercial database like SQL Server 2005 when what we have works just fine.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I have one column in SQL Server 2005 of data type VARCHAR(4000).
I have imported sql Server 2005 database data into one mdb file.After importing a data into the mdb file, above column
data type converted into the memo type in the Access database.
now when I am trying to import a data from this MS Access File(db1.mdb) into the another SQL Server 2005 database, got the error of Unicode Converting a memo data type conversion in Export/Import data wizard.
Could you please let me know what is the reason?
I know that memo data type does not supported into the SQl Server 2005.
I am with SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition with SP2.
Please help me to understans this issue correctly?

Subject: SQL Server 2005 - How do I import data from an Oracle Data Pump file?
Tried looking in the SQL help for this and it's not very forthcoming on how
you do this.
How do I achieve this? Can someone send me an example SSIS package OR tell
me the steps OR point me towards a resource that could help me?
Look forward to your replies.
Many thanks,

I'm using SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express, and trying to import data from an Excel spreadsheet into a new table. I'm used to doing this through Enterprise Manager in SQL Server 2000, but I'm not sure how to do it in the new interface. Is there a way to do a simple data import without also installing Business Intelligence Development Studio?

I am trying to import data from our as/400 to SQL server. We have a new server with SQL 2005, data is restored so now I am trying to convert our DTS over to SSIS but I can's seem to get a connection set up that will talk with our as/400. One note on our current sql 2000 I have no issues. Our sql 2005 is 64 bit, not sure if it makes a difference but thought I would mention it.
I am trying to set up connections so I can copy data from as/400 to sql 2005. I have a DNS set up on server called IPTSFIL which point to library iptsfil. I then need to create my source. There is no longer an ODBC option so I am trying ole db source. I created a connection but it€™s not working. In the connection there is a data link if I click on that I can point it to my DSN (IPTSFIL). But when I try to test it then thinks server name is IPTSFIL which is not the case and so it comes back with a port error due to that not being the system name. What am i doing wrong?
I read some people use data reader but I don't understand how to config that. Any input on how to help me get this working either using ole db or datareader would be appreciated.
I did test a client access session on server and I connect just fine. Also if I do a cwbping everything comes back sucessful.
Thanks in Advance,
Stacy

Hi there
I am importing data from a database on one server to the same database (exactly the same table structure etc) on another server. I am specifying the data from certain tables on the source database which are completely empty on the destination database. The tables on the destination database each have a primary key column (Identity Specification = YES, Is Identity = YES, Identity Increment = 1, Identity Seed = 1, Not for Replication = YES). The import fails on the first table (YvGroup) whose primary key, "GroupID", is the foreign key within other tables (Relationship is set).
The error i'm getting is as follows:
Error 0xc0202049: Data Flow Task: Failure inserting into the read-only column "GroupID". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc0202045: Data Flow Task: Column metadata validation failed. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc004706b: Data Flow Task: "component "Destination - YvGroup" (40)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_ISBROKEN". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc004700c: Data Flow Task: One or more component failed validation. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc0024107: Data Flow Task: There were errors during task validation. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
I'm sure the most important error is the first one, "Data Flow Task: Failure inserting into the read-only column". Is this happening because i'm trying to import data into primary key columns that are usually populated by an auto incremented integer and is seeing it as read only? Or is it due to the relationship with other tables? In which case if you have a table structure set up with relationships how would you ever be able to import data?
How can I get round this?Cheers

I have a customer using a web app where the data is drawn from a database in SQL Server 2005.
In addition to its normal tables, the database has two lookup tables which are deleted, recreated, and repopulated once a week. The data for these two tables comes from two queries in an Access database which essentially turn many related tables into two flat tables.
I know this can be done with SSIS, I've done it, I suppose it could be done witth SSMA for Access, but could this operation be done with a stored prodecure ? Most steps would not be a problems. They would be:
- Drop the two tables in SQL Server (no problem)
- Recreate them (no problem, maybe better to just delete all existing records, either way)
- Connect to the query in the Access database (here is where I have questions)
- Simply do an INSERT from the Access query to the SQL table.
So my question is whether we can connect to an Acess query from a stored proc, I suppose using ODBC.
Can this be done? If so how? Are there any papers on this topic?
Msny thanks,
Mike Thomas

I am still a bit of a noob with SQL, but, when I use Enterprise Manager with my SQL 2000 server at the office, it is pretty simple to import data from pretty much any data source. I have not been able to locate the Transform facility in the 2005 express software that I downloaded onto my home pc (to help me learn SQL). Did I not install something that I need? or am I just missing what I am looking for? The net question is, how do I import data?
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm a new user of SQL Server 2005. I have the full version installed. I also have SQL Server Business Integration Dev Studio installed. My OS is Windows XP.
I'm importing a series of 5 flat files into a database on one of the SQL Servers we have. My goal is to get 5 different tables (though perhaps I should do one and add an extra field to distinguish each import) into the database for further analysis.
I tried doing an import via DTS Wizard. There are no column names in the flat file so I defined them during the import process (all 58 of them). When I got to the end, I had an option to save the import process as a SSIS (SQL Server Integration Service) Package on:
SQL SERVER (I don't have permission for this)
or
FILE SYSTEM (did this one)
I saved the Package locally in hopes of being able to go back in, change the source file and destination table of the package and quickly get the other 4 flat files imported.
My problems are:
1) I couldn't find how to run the *.DTSX Package file to run in SQL Server Studio (basically reuse the Package with minor changes and saving me having to redefine the same 58 columns on each flat file import)
2) Tried but didn't understand how to run it in SQL Server Bus Intel Dev Studio (i.e. understanding the mapping and getting the data types right so it wouldn't error out)
3) Don't know how to make the necessary changes so that the Package handles the next source file and puts in a new destination table (do I need to do 5 CREATE TABLES so this Package has a place to run to?)
4) Does the Package need to be part of a Project to run (I haven't found how to take an existing Package and make it part of a Project/Solution)?
5) Is there a good book or online resource for just getting the basics of using SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio?
I'm really at a loss after spending a day fruitlessly on it scouring the help files, forums and experimenting around.
Hope somebody can point me in the right direction.
Regards,
Patrick Briggs,

I just spent some time working out how to do a seemingly simple task. I€™m sharing the steps I took to do this in hopes it saves other SQL Server 2005 users (especially newbies like myself) time.
My original question posed on several SQL newsgroups was based on this goal:
I'm importing a series of 5 flat files (all with same file layout) into a database on one of the SQL Servers we have using SQL Server 2005 (SQL Server Management Studio) . My goal is to get 5 different tables. I want to do this without having to redo all the layout criteria 4 additional times.
Below are the steps I followed to get a solution (all done in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio):
Create the Package (data import)
1) Use the SQL Server Import Export Wizard (equivalent to SQL Server 2000 Data Transfer Wizard) to import your first flat file. At the CHOOSE DATA SOURCE window browse for your file.
2) Under the Advanced tab, you can set your Column attributes (€œoutput column width€? or €œdata type€? to name a few). I highlighted all the columns and selected €œstring [DT_STR]€? for data type. To avoid truncation errors, I selected 255 for output column width. You can name the columns whose data you are most concerned with (I did import all the available fields).
3) After choosing a server destination you will have a €œSELECT SOURCE TABLES AND VIEWS€? window pop up. Under the €œMapping€? column you can choose to tweak your mapping further editing in SQL (see Edit SQL button). I didn€™t.
4) The €œSAVE AND EXECUTE PACKAGE€? will pop up. The €œExecute Immediately€? box should be checked and you should check the €œSave SSIS Package€? (SQL Server Integration Services). When you do, select €œFile System€? for where to save this import-file-package to.
5) Click OKAY for the Package Protection Level and the €œSAVE SSIS PACKAGE€? window will appear. Browse for a path on your local computer to save to.
Modify Package (data import) for Next Use
6) In SQL Server Management Studio, browse for the Package and open it.
Preparation for SQL Task €“ box
7) You should see a screen that shows two boxes (€œPreparation for SQL Task€?) and (€œData Flow Task€?).
8) Right click on the former and select €œEdit€?.
9) On the €œSQL Statement€? row, click into the right column and select the €œ€¦€? box
10) Change the destination table (the table you will create with this package) to a meaningful name and click OK.
11) Click OK for the €œSQL Task Editor€?
Data Flow Task - box
12) Right click on the €œData Flow Task€? box and select €œEdit€?.
13) Three boxes will appear €œSourceConnectionFlatFile€?, €œData Conversion 1€?, and €œDestination - <whatever table name your original data import went to>€?. Below them is a section that displays €œConnection Managers€?
SourceConnectionFlatFile - editing
14) The first thing you will want to do is change the import source to a new flat file. You do this by going below the boxes under the €œConnection Managers€? window and right clicking on €œSourceConnectionFlatFile€? and then selecting €œEdit€?
15) Browse for the new €œFile Name€? and select it.
16) A €œMicrosoft SQL Server Management Studio€? window will pop up asking you if you want to €œkeep or reset the existing metadata€?. The metadata is just your column definitions and choosing €œYES€? to keep this makes sense if you are doing data imports on files with the same file layout.
17) Still in the €œFlat File Connection Manager Editor€? window, change the €œConnection Manager Name€? to something meaningful (I add <_> at the end and then the name of the table the flat file is going to) and click OK.
SourceConnectionFlatFile €“ box (editing)
18) Right click on the €œSourceConnectionFlatFile€? box and select €œEdit€?.
19) Your newly named €œFlat File Connection Manager€? should appear in select box.
20) Click OK, right click again on the €œSourceConnectionFlatFile€? box and select €œShow Advanced Editor€?.
21) Under the €œConnections Manager€? tab, your newly named €œFlat File Connection€? should appear (the prior step is necessary for the advanced editor to recognize your change).
22) Under the €œComponent Properties€? tab, on the €œName€? row, click into the right column and rename to something meaningful (notice the €œIdentification String€? row description changes too once you click out of the €œName€? row)
23) Under the €œColumn Mappings€? tab, just confirm you are mapping your flat file fields (€œAvailable External Columns€?) to a destination table€™s fields (€œAvailable Output Columns€?).
24) Under the €œInput and Output Properties€? tab you can check in €œFlat File Source Output€? to make modifications to either your €œExternal Columns€? or your €œOutput Columns€? €“ you shouldn€™t need to for a simple import.
((NOTE: any changes you make here would likely need to be consistent with the column properties found under the €œConnection Manager Window€? for the €œSourceConnectionFlatFile€? as well as the €œData Conversion 1€? box under the €œData Flow Tasks€? window, so exercise caution
25) NOTE: This process has worked for me by making my source columns all €œstring [DT_STR]€? data type and the output columns all €œUnicode String [DT_WSTR]€? data type.
Data Conversion 1 €“ box (editing)
26) There is nothing you need to do here. By right clicking on the €œData Conversion 1€? box and selecting €œEdit€?, you can see and change the data type of the output columns (the ones in the table your importing the flat file to). There are probably more edits one can do but they€™re beyond what I€™ve learned.
Destination - <whatever table name your original data import went to> €“ box (editing)
27) Right click on the €œDestination - <whatever table name your original data import went to>€? box and select €œShow Advanced Editor€?.
28) Select the €œComponent Properties€? tab.
29) Select the right column at the €œName€? row and change the name to something meaningful (ie. related to the source file name or the table name you€™re importing to).
30) Select the right column at the €œIdentification String€? row and it will update to this change.
31) Select the right column at the €œOpenRowSet€? and change it to the name of the table you are importing your flat file to (this should be consistent with table name under step 10).
32) Click OK
33) Select FILE and select €œSave As€¦€? and then give your package a new name that€™s meaningful (this will be helpful if you have to rerun the import of the flat file later).
Run (execute) the Revised Package (data import)
34) Go back to SQL Server Management Studio and open the Object Explorer
35) Connect to an €œIntegration Services€? component. This should essentially be a local instance (not sure where it is on the local computer or in SQL Server Management Studio on the local computer).
36) In €œObject Explorer€? go down to your €œIntegration Services€? object and expand it.
37) Expand €œStored Packages€?
38) Right click on €œFile System€? and select €œImport Package€? and an €œIMPORT PACKAGE€? window will appear
39) For €œPackage Location€? choose €œFile System€? and then browse for the €œPackage Path€?
40) Click into the €œPackage Name€? and it defaults to your Package€™s file name.
41) Click OK and the Package is imported.
42) Right click on the newly imported Package and select €œRun Package€?
43) An €œExecute Package Utility€? window appears
44) Select €œExecute€? and the package runs.

Greetings.
Our company is planning to upgrade to ESRI's brand new ArcSDE Personal edition and SQL Server Express 2005 platform to do GIS work for our clients. We are not in a position at this time to migrate to the full ArcGIS Server and SQL Server 2005 platform. We currently use a Microsoft Access 2003 relational database, and have no intention to move to Access 2007.
ArcSDE Personal cannot connect to SQL Server 2005, but it is able to connect and work with SQL Server Express 2005.
In SQL Management Studio Express, we were unable to find any feature that would allow us to import and export data to/from SQL Server Express. This is rather unusual, as we need to test how SQL Server Express will handle import and export data. In Microsoft Access we simply right click and choose import or export in the database window. Easy as pie. We ran the upsize wizard in Microsoft Access to migrate our data. But after that, our GIS team was pretty much stuck.
My question is, how does one import/export data to/from SQL Server Express? Do we need to install a missing component? Is scripting required? Or should we wait until we are able to acquire the SQL Server 2005?

I'm trying to use linked server to import big amount of data(around 9 million rows) from mysql to a sql 2005 table.
I plan to create a stored procedure and use job agent to run it at off-peak time everyday. The SP is like:
.....
Truncate table sqltblA;
Insert Into sqltblA(col1, col2, col3)
Select col1, col2, col3
From OpenQuery('mysql', 'Select col1, col2, col3 From mytblB')
.....
But when I tried to CREATE the above SP from management studio, seems the sql server was trying to get all data from table mytblB and ended up with failure after several minutes hang. The error message is sth. like "running out memeory". BTW, during that several minutes hang, I can't query mytblB using mysql's tool as well. it seems to me that table got locked.
However if i try to change the returned result to 100,000 rows by changing script to
Insert Into sqltblA(col1, col2, col3)
Select col1, col2, col3
From OpenQuery('mysql', 'Select col1, col2, col3 From mytblB Limit 100000')
The SP could be created without any problem and running the SP could get the data in table sqltblA.
But that's not what I want, I need all rows instead of a certain amount of rows.
Does anyone know what's going on there when I try to CREATE that SP and any solution to it?
Plus I tried to use SSIS as well. When I'm configuring the DataReader source, which uses ADO.NET's ODBC option to connect to mysql, if its sqlcommand is "select * from mytblB" without the Limit key word, then the configuration page will hang there as well and table mytblB is not accessible by using mysql tool. I'm just sick of wasting time on that and that's why I chose to use SP istead of SSIS. But same result. :-(

After some weeks evaluating tools and platforms for developing an application, I decided to move to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. Everything was fine till last night, when after creating my tables, I needed to populate them. I tried to find the Import and Export Data Wizard that SQL Server 7.0 and 2000 used to have, but great was my surprise when I found - in this forum - a post that said that it's not available in the Express Edition.
I'll have to move back in time (what I hate) to remember the way BCP worked. Can somebody post some examples to not start from zero ? Does anybody know a third party visual tool that can import/export data from text files to a SQL Server DB via ODBC ?
What's the reason it was not included in the EE ?
THanks !

Hi all
I hope you can help me in some way.
Basically for the last 5 months i've developed a SQL 2k db for my company.
All of a sudden they quite fancy using Linux on the server, therefore i would be required to use PostgreSQL instead of SQL Server 2k.
I could do with some advice about how PostgreSQL and SQL Server compare? and how much work would be involved in migrating from one to the other.
Points i've found myself and may be an issue are:
I've used some of SQL Servers XML capabilites and as far as i can tell PostgreSQL doesn't support XML.
I've made extensive use of functions that return table variables etc... is there a similar idea i can use in PostgreSQL?
Extensive use of Stored Procedures and T-SQL etc...
DTS packages. Any equivalent or similar idea?
(ps i've also posted this in the PostgreSQL but since no one replyed i was hoping the sql server boffs could help).

hello everyone!
I'm currently dumping tables from PostgreSQL 7 to SQL Server 2K and I've been wondering if it's possible to create a trigger between the two databases.
..like if there's an insert to a PostgreSQL table, the trigger inserts the same row to the SQL Server table.
If it is possible, please do send me a sample code.
Thanks!

Hi All,
I have become frustrated and I am not finding the answers I expect.
Here's the gist, we support both Oracle and SQL for our product and we would like to migrate our Clients who are willing/requesting to go from Oracle to SQL. Seems easy enough.
So, I create a Database in SQL 2005, right click and select "Import Data", Source is Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle and I setup my connection. so far so good.
I create my Destination for SQL Native Client to the Database that I plan on importing into. Still good
Next, I select "Copy data from one or more tables or views". I move on to the next screen and select all of the Objects from a Schema. These are Tables that only relate to our application or in other words, nothing Oracle System wise.
When I get to the end it progresses to about 20% and then throws this error about 300 or so times:
Could not connect source component.
Warning 0x80202066: Source - AM_ALERTS [1]: Cannot retrieve the column code page info from the OLE DB provider. If the component supports the "DefaultCodePage" property, the code page from that property will be used. Change the value of the property if the current string code page values are incorrect. If the component does not support the property, the code page from the component's locale ID will be used.
So, I'm thinking "Alright, we can search on this error and I'm sure there's an easy fix." I do some checking and indeed find out that there is a property setting called "AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage" in the OLEDB Data Source Properties. Great! I go back and look at the connection in the Import and .... there's nothing with that property!
Back to the drawing board. I Create a new SSIS package and figure out quickly that the AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage is in there. I can transfter information from the Oracle Source Table to the SQL Server 2005 Destination Table, but it appears to be a one to one thing. Programming this, if I get it to work at all, will take me about 150 hours or so.
This make perfect sense if all you are doing is copying a few columns or maybe one or two objects, but I am talking about 600 + objects with upwards of 2 million rows of data in each!!
This generates 2 questions:
1. If the Import Data Wizard cannot handle this operation on the fly, then why can't the AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage property be shown as part of the connection
2. How do I create and SSIS Package that will copy all of the data from Oracle to SQL Server? The source tables have been created and have the same Schema and Object Names as the Source. I don't want to create a Data Flow Task 600 times.
Help!!!

I am working on two versions of an application, one of which will be awindows forms application (which will need to be redistributable) andthe other will be a web application.I have MS Visual Studio 2005 (along with the developer's edition of MSSQL Server), but not MS Access. I also have MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sun'sapplication server, Tomcat and Apache web server. I am working onWindows XP Pro, and have installed the .NET 3 SDK and all relevantrelated products I could find (e.g. 2 extensions packages for VisualStudio).I have one MS Access database, to which my users should have read onlyaccess. I have, and have used, a tool for importing MS Accessdatabases into MySQL. I expect that SQL Server has a similar utilityhidden somewhere (where I haven't yet looked, though I HAVE beenlooking - obviously in the wrong places). I have located a similarutility for importing MS Access databases into PostgreSQL. I have notyet decided which servers to use for the web version, but that isanother story, for which I may raise another thread in due course (butI welcome suggestions which may reduce the effort required givenrequired effort for the windows forms app).My problem is for the windows form aplication (intended for use by asingle family). I expect to use ADO.NET. The question is, should Iimport the Access database into MS SQL, and redistribute it, along withMS SQL Server Express (or is that necessary), or distribute it just asan Access database and use the jet engine to access it. A relatedquestion is, "Does ADO.NET support creating new databases for a givenengine?" Imagine a recipe database. It is easy enough to create a SQLscript that creates all the required tables, indices, foreign keys,&c., but can I submit that SQL script to an ADO.NET object, along witha file name, and have it create, e.g., an Access database with thesupplied name. Or do I have to create a database file with nothing init other than the schema?I have more questions, but they'll have to wait.ThanksTed

Hello,
First of all, this is my first time using SQL SERVER 2005 express, before that i'm using POSTGRESQL database.
I would like to know how what's the equivalent command for "BEGIN","ROLLBACK","COMMIT", these are the POSTGRESQL COMMAND use to start transaction, rollback transaction and commit transaction.
Example when i use this kind of command is . I need to insert data into 3 table. before insert into table1, i issue "begin", start to insert data into table1, if table1 no error, then i proceed to table 2 and table3. if table2 and table3 no error. then issue "commit" to commit the changes. but if any error happen between table1 and table 2 or table 2 and table3, i will issue "rollback" to roll any changes that i make to table1, table2 and table3.
Maybe some one can teach me how to achieve using SQL SERVER 2005 EXPRESS.
Thanks and Regards.

I have SSMSexpress which does not include the Tasks/Import Data...Is there an easy way to do this without the full SSMS?I have SQL Server 2005 express for developement which I like alot. Can I possibly load SSMS without installing the entire SQL Server 2005 product?
PS I am almost a complete idiot with SQL Server DBs and I use Visual Basic, not C#
