Import Failed With BCP And XML-Format-File
Jan 21, 2008
I have a table with 2 row:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[EABL](
[DSID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[ABLBELNR] [nvarchar](255) NULL)
If I make a XML formatfile which look like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<BCPFORMAT ...>
<RECORD>
<FIELD ID="1" xsi:type="CharTerm" TERMINATOR=" " MAX_LENGTH="20"/>
</RECORD>
<ROW>
<COLUMN SOURCE="1" NAME="ABLBELNR" xsi:type="SQLNVARCHAR"/>
</ROW>
</BCPFORMAT>
then the import failed with the following error message:
[Microsoft][SQL Native Client]All bound columns are not read-only
If I delete the identity column then the import works correct.
What can I do, so that I can import with the identity column ?
Thanks for you help

I have several bcp output files I need to import into tables. I do not have format files for them. As far as I know they are in native format. I do not know the layout of the destination table they would populate.
1) how can I determine from the bcp file itself the schema of the destination table? Once I know that I should be able to import the data into the table.
Thanks

Hi All,
I am stuck at one place, where I have to convert CSV format file data into SAP IDOC format file. In SSIS we don't have any such SAP adapter (though we have .NET Data Provider for mySAP suite [SSIS SAP Adapter] but this is still not fully supported by Microsoft, plus it doesn't have feature to convert data into IDOC format) that can do this. Can someone here please provide me some pointers on any third party adapters available in market to do this job or if anyone has already developed some custom approach to achieve this task?
Your quick response on this is highly appreciated.

Kuldeep Chauhan

Hi all,
when trying to ímport files to our database server from a client, I keep getting an error:
- Validating (Error)
Messages
Error 0xc00470fe: Data Flow Task: The product level is insufficient for component "Source_txt" (1).
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc00470fe: Data Flow Task: The product level is insufficient for component "Data Conversion 1" (175).
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
... doing the same import when logged on the server, hasn't been giving me any errors, how come. I can from my client without trouble import tables from other DB servers but when ever it is files it won't do it.
I tried as mentioned in other threads rerun setup to re-install SSIS, but as it was already installed it wouldn't re-install. My next move would be to make a clean install, but not sure it would help, as I think this is a buck.
best regards

Hello Folks,
Im trying to use Integrations services to import a file on a daily basis.
My flatfile has to different type of rows that comes from an transaction system, it looks like this:
132,1/1/2008,00,123654,text,1,123.00
132,1/1/2008,00,123652,text,1,23.00
132,1/1/2008,00,123655,text,1,3.00
123,1/1/1/2008,01,149.00
1125,1/1/2008,00,123654,text,1,123.00
1125,1/1/2008,00,123652,text,1,23.00
1125,1/1/2008,00,123655,text,1,3.00
1125,1/1/1/2008,01,149.00;Cash;EUR;01;12
After the date you can see that there is two digits number either 00 or 01. The rows also have a different lengthts.
When ever that columns contains 00 the line should be inserted to a special text file, if the columns contains 01 it should to another file.
How can I solve this in a good way?
One of the problems I have is that when I try to import the rows the flat file connections indicates(erros message) that I have partial row in the file which is true since the the rows with the columns content 01 have more fields then the other.
Thanks for you help.

Hello,
I have the following scenario, and my main question is why Excel Formatted file errors out while TXT formatted file does not? Any workaround would be helpful, but I do want to avoid dtexec, and still want to manage it as SSIS.
MAIN ISSUES - permission issue & excel connection issue
SSIS Package Run Directly (not SQL Job, not automated)
* Every format and and folder location works!
Package Run under SQL JOB
TXT Format
A. Project Folder - GOOD
B. Client Folder - FAILS!
Conclusion - TXT Format works, but Client Folder does not have sufficient permission for PRODsvcSQLDMS
EXCEL Format
A. Project Folder - FAILS!
B. Client Folder - FAILS!
Conclusion - EXCEL Format DOES NOT work. Maybe SSIS Excel Connection Bug.

I need to import few tables from MS Access to MS SQL but the table structure in Access is always different, as I would like the destination table in SQL to be.
Therefore I would like that a table would be created in SQL at runtime, according to the structure the Access table accessed has.

Hi
I have an excel file with 2 rows that I am importing into a staging table. The format on the excel sheet is a custom one which is DD-MMM-YY so in the actual cell the data appears as 01-NOV-07 and 30-OCT-07. The format of the data in the input window above the spreadsheet is 01/11/2007 and 30/10/2007.
The format in the Excel source of the data flow task is Unicode String [DT_WSTR] length 255. I then have a data conversion step that changes this to a string [DT_STR] length 255 as the staging table is non unicode. I then have a derived column function that simply does a ISNULL replace on NULL values to blank. Finally there is an OLE DB destination which is the staging table.
This is where the problem occurs. If I breakpoint the package here and look at the staging table the dates now read as 11/1/2007 and 10/30/2007. The data type in the staging table is varchar 255. I am not doing any other transformations or T-SQL stuff on the data - it is being flipped to MM/DD/YYYY during the import.
By the way I am english hence I need the english variation on the date. I know i could put some T-SQL in to flip it around to english again but wondered why it was happening like this
thanks in advance

I have an Excel file(.xls) that I need to import to SQL Server database. I am trying to use the Import wizard. However, when I select the file and click next I get the warning "External table is not in the expected format.(Microsoft JET Database Engine)" . I opened the .xls file using a text editor. It looks like some html document.
<html xmlns="urnchemas-microsoft-comfficeffice"
xmlns:x="urnchemas-microsoft-comffice:excel"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
<head>.................
I also used OPENQUERY to see if it works.
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
'Excel 12.0 xml;HDR=Yes;Database=C:myexcelfile.xls', 'SELECT * FROM [Table1$]');
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;Database=C:datamyexcelfile.xls', 'SELECT * FROM [Table1$]')
I get the following errors.
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "External table is not in the expected format.".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)".
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
When I open the file and save it to overwrite the existing .xls file it works fine.
Is there a way to import such files using SSIS without having to open and save it?
Thanks in advance!

Hey All,
Similar to a previous post (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=244646&SiteID=1), I am trying to import data into a SQL Table.
I am trying to program a small application that will import product data obtained through suppliers via CD-ROM. One supplier in particular uses Fixed width colums, and data looks like this:
Example of Data
0124015Apple Crate 32.12
0124016Bananna Box 12.56
0124017Mango Carton 15.98
0124018Seedless Watermelon 42.98
My Table would then have:
ProductID as int
Name as text
Cost as money
How would I go about extracting the data with an XML Format file? I am stumbling over how to tell it where to start picking up data for a specific column.
Is there any way that I could trim the Name column (i.e.: "Mango Carton " --> "Mango Carton")?
I don't know if it makes any difference, but I've been calling SQL from my code by doing this:
Code in C# Form
SqlConnection SqlConnection = new SqlConnection(global::SQLClients.Properties.Settings.Default.ClientPhonebookConnectionString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO PhonebookTable(Name, PhoneNumber) VALUES('" + txtName.Text.ToString() + "', '" + txtPhoneNumber.Text.ToString() + "')";
cmd.Connection = SqlConnection;
SqlConnection.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
SqlConnection.Close();
RefreshData();
I am running Visual Studio C# Express 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005.
Thanks for your time,
Hayden.

Hi,
can anyone help on this? I have the created to read in excel file data. I used the Excel source task and configured it. I configured the task to read in a file call transaction.xls and there is only 1 sheet in the workbook called transaction as well. When I configured the connection manager, I can see the data preview. And I saved it. When I execute it, it gave me the error below. Really have no idea what caused the problem. for additional info, we do not have the microsoft office installed in this server, only ms sql. Do I need to install the ms office in the server in order to have this work?

Greetings, I have just arrived back into the country (NZ) and back into ASP.NET.
I am having trouble with the following:An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file (file location).../Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
It has only begun since i decided i wanted to use IIS, I realise VWD comes with its own localhost, but since it is only temporary, i wanted a permanent shortcut on my desktop to link to my intranet page.
Anyone have any ideas why i am getting the above error? have searched many places on the internet and not getting any closer.

Guys.
This has been an issue for me. It happens once in a while.
I am importing a File from a shared folder thru DTS package. Once in a while the DTS package fails due to the following error.
"Error Opening Data File: Process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process"
Is there anyway I can specify that the file is going to be opened in read only, so that the DTS will not fail?
Any other solution/suggestion?

RESOLVED RESOLVED RESOLVED
DOH! When I rebuilt the OS, I changed the data partition ID's, and didn't remember to change them in the connetion strings
Not great, but better than continuing to bang head against wall.
Would like to say to MS appreciators that the VS2005 reinstall actually went quite well, considering.
===========================================================================
I built an app, works fine. Had the development environment working fine (VS2005 (SP0) and SQL Server Express). It had been stable for months, no problem.
Then I had to reinstall XP Pro...(finally threw too many conflicting programs into it, I guess...)
I managed to get VS2005 reinstalled ok. However, when I opened and compiled my existing app in VS2005, using Cassini, I got the dreaded error:
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file <file string> failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
I also get this error for the compiled copy of the app on the same machine, running on IIS. (Where it also previously worked fine).
The Connection strings are all of the form
connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=(specific file string).MDF;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
I appreciate that there are zillions of posts on this issue. I'm hoping that someone might know why this should happen in this particular case.
The thing that's different about this case is that the app was working fine; I have the app deployed on a demo machine and also on a remote server as well as on the development machine.
The only thing that changed is that there was this fresh install of SQL Server Express.
I tried using >> sp_configure user instances enabled','1';RECONFIGURE <<< in SSMSEE, which took, but didn't help.
So something is different in SSE. Since the app is stable everywhere else, I REALLY don't want to go through and adjust the connection strings...MUCH better to figure out what SSE needs to be happy with the existing connection strings...as it was before.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
EDIT----TRIED SOME THINGS:
Changed folder and file permissions to allow ASPNET full access to the .mdf's and log files (though never had to do this before on the development machine.) No change...
Can see the table contents within the .mdf through SSMSE, and also through Server Explorer in VS2005.
So because the problem happens with both IIS and Cassini, I'm assuming it's got to be an issue between ASPNET and SSE.
EDIT --- TRIED SOME MORE THINGS:
I dimly remember that when I had this problem before, it was that the error message was too "dumb". It wasn't my file that had the permissions problems, it was that the SSE System Databases had to have permissions with respect to ASPNET.
I tried to set that up but I'm a complete newb on this area, so I don't know if I did it right. In SSMSE I created a Login for MyComputer/ASPNET, and gave it all permissions and roles, and then made it an owner for the four system databases...but no joy.
Any pointers on this last piece would be helpful.
EDIT - MORE INFO
The error details
[SqlException (0x80131904): An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file <filestring>.MDF failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.]

Backend: MSSQL 65
My datafiles are bcp out from Syabse 11.
Because the order of fields are different, I need to use format file with BCP.
I generated my fmt files by using MSSQL's bcp utility with the instructions from SQL Server books onLIne
(section: Using a Format File to Selectively Copy data)
I cannot bcp in with format file. I got
Starting copy...
DB-LIBRARY error:
Unexpected EOF encountered in BCP data-file.
DB-LIBRARY error:
Unexpected EOF encountered in BCP data-file.
0 rows copied.
Network packet size (bytes): 4096
Clock Time (ms.): total = 50
Since the datafile is small, I manually shift the order.
Then, I bcp it in without format file and it worked fine.
Now I got data in my SQL Server
I thought it may be the datafile. Though it's text file, it's generated by Sybase bcp utility. :-)
So, I bcp out the data to a new ASCII file. I change the ID to make those records different.
Then, I re-generate the format file.
Now, I have everything generated by MSSQL. I tried again and I got the same error.
This table contains 1 Blob field and 4 varchar(255) fields. Will this be a problem?
We have to solve this problem. When our applications go live, the datafiles will be huge and we cannot edit it manually.
Please advise
Thanks in advance.

What are format files and how do they help us in Bulk Load????
I referred to many issues send to the forum but could not get sufficient information on this.
My main issue is to bulk insert from a .CSV file in hte following format
12,23,"blrnnr","Address",45677,"bangalore".............68 columns
After bulk insert I am getting the double qoutes also into the table.
Now my problem is, How do I remove these double qoutes?
I don't want to use replace() to remove these quotes!!!!!!
I have attached a Screen Shot to describe this issue with this mail
Any information is appretiated regarding this issue.
Thanking you
Naveen

Hi.I was wondering if anybody could piont me to a reference for the .bakfile format.I need to upload a huge amount of data from a unix machine into an MSSQLServer database and have tried lots of different things with mixedresults.I occurs to me that if I can generate a .bak file on the unix side,move it over to the MS side and 'restore' the database, that wouldprobably be the fastest possible method.Thanks,-jim
