I am getting a dump of information from SAP into an Excel file. I would like to take this excel file and import the data into a SQL 2005 Express database.
Is this possible? Or will I need the full version of SQL to do this?
Thanks
Hello everyone,
I have exported data from few tables from my old sql server 7.0 database. Now, I need to import those data into new database which is on SQL Server 2005 Express. How do I do that in 2005 express server? Any idea?
Or, is there any better way to import data for selected tables into new database?
Thanks,

I'm a little stuck here. How can I import a flat tab delimited file into a SQL 2005 Express table? The standard DTS and import features are not there :-(Thanks,Casey
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to import a database. It seems my most likely route is via Excel, so I've moved my tables in there.
Then I tried setting up Excel as a linked server as described in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q321686
My linked server gets created apparently with no errors, but I can't see any contents when I click on it in the object explorer.
Anyone with more clues than me?
thanks
also i was wondering, that i have been reading that with this sp2 for sql server 2005 express you are able to use the dts wizard, is this true? i have a few databases in access that i would like to import into sql, would i have to create the tables first in sql then import or will the import also bring the tables & structure in?
thank you to all
I would like to import data to a sqlserver express database. The database I am interested in importing was created in MSDE. I tried backing it up and using the restore function in sqlserver express but with no success. I have not been able to find an import function in the Management Studio Express interface. Is it possible to import this information, or should I get busy with my data entry?

I am currently Using SQL Server Express for testing purposes while waiting for SQL 2008 to be issued. (Our project will take some 2-3 years to complete so concerns about using a 'new' version of SQL Server are not pertinent). We have ordered this week Visual Studio 2008 as the shrink wrap version is due out the end of this week.
I have been able to migrate all our data from the old database (Superbase) but only field names and field types.
Indexes and validation stuff is lost.
The problem I have is that:
I can only import to an empty database, therefore if I start to create Indexes and otherwise modify the structure of this database in SQL Server then I will lose all this work on the next occasion I need to import (as Superbase will still continue to be our firm's current daily data handling tool for another year or two)
My thoughts where to create a copy of the original import, develop the constraints, indexes etc. on this secondary copy. then (on the day we are ready to migrate) empty the copy of data and import the data only
Does SQL Server Express have the tools to do this?
If not then are my best options to use SQL Server Beta until the new software is realeased (but notice that Visual Studio 2008 does not like SQL2008 - is there a fix for this?)
I hope this is the right forum for these questions
Thanks in advance
Is it possible to import an MS-Access database (or table) into a new SQL Server 2005 Express database? If so, how is it done?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have software that uses SQL Server Express as it's database. I am only able to import so many records until it stops and fails to allow me to import anymore.
I'm very new at this but, is there some type of limitation on Table size that's preventing me from importing anymore data?
I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me,

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi All,
At the moment i have a piece of software that uses Access to store the data into a number of tables.
I am developing a new piece of software that has been built around SQL express and need to upgrade users that are using access. I have managed to write the installation to install etc and also the start of a script to insert all of the tables. I cant work out how to get the data into SQL express using a script.
Basically the access db (CentralDb) will be stored a a given location C:Program FilesCentralDB.mdb
The tables within the SQL version are indentical to access but i need a way of pulling out the information stored and putting it into SQL, and as there is no DTS i am becoming stuck on how to automate the process.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I'm trying to learn some VB programming with the VB 2005 Express Absolute Beginner Series video tutorials (which I think is great) and have come across a problem that I can't solve.
When I follow the instructions in Lesson 9 (Databinding Data to User Interface Controls) my application will display the data from the database correctly and I can edit it (and as long as the debugger is running the data remains changed). However, the changes won't propagate back to the database. I don't get any error messages but after I edit the data, save (with the save button on the BindingNavigator toolbar), and end debugging the data in my database remains unchanged. When I use a MessageBox to show how many rows where edited/updated in the
Me.myTableTableAdapter.Update(Me.myDatabaseDataSet.myTable)
I get the correct number back. I'm sure the problem is not due to coding errors since I've also tried running the accompanying Lesson 9 project file that can be downloaded from MSDN and the problem persists.
I'm using Windows XP SP2, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and VB 2005 Express Edition. I've tried installing SQL Server 2005 Express with a number of different settings, including default settings, but it doesn't make any difference.
Would greatly appreciate any feedback on this as I'm keen to resolve this problem so I can get on with the next tutorial lesson.
Thanks,

This problem only occurs after deployment, not when debugging. In the table I am having a problem with I have an ID field designated as the primary key with the identity increment set to 1 and the identity seed set to 1. There is no data in the table when deployed. I can add records to the datagridview control but when I try updating the dataset I get this error indicating that the ID field already has a value of 1 present. If I close the application and re-start it, the exception no longer occurrs when I update the dataset. I am including the code to update the tables incase something is wrong there. Any suggestions?
Private Sub UpdateMemberTable()
Me.Validate()
Me.TblMembersBindingSource.EndEdit()
Me.TblMembersTableAdapter.Update(Me.ChurchFamilyDataSet.tblMembers)
Me.TblMemberDependentsBindingSource.EndEdit()
Me.TblMemberDependentsTableAdapter.Update(Me.ChurchFamilyDataSet.tblMemberDependents)

Does anyone know how I can do this?
I have 2 tables in an ODBC datasource (INV HEADER) and (INV DETAILS). The relationship on these 2 tables is (INVNUM).
I want to import these tables into SQL 2005 on a nightly basis by date. The problem is the date field is on the (INV HEADER) table and not the (INV DETAILS) table.
Basically I want to import all the (INV DETAILS) rows that have the same (INVNUM) as the (INVHEADER) but don't know how to do this.
I could use a join on the source tables but how would I direct specific columns to 2 different destinations?
Any help on this would be great and appreciated.
Thanks
Hi,
I would like to import an Excel spreadsheet into SQL Server 2005. I can do this quite easily using the Import/Export wizard, and have each row in the spreadsheet transfer to a new row in the database table.
However, I want to import the first few columns of the spreadsheet row into one table (called Products), but put the remaining columns into a related, three-column table, called Product_Details. In the Product_Details table, one column would hold the spreadsheet column value, the other column would be a FK integer value linked to the PK in the Products table, and the third column the primary key as normal.
So, somehow, I would need to get hold of the primary key value when the first spreadsheet columns are inserted into the Products table and then insert the remaining columns into the Product_Details table with two values per row - one value being the spreadsheet cell value, the second being the primary key of the new product in the Products table.
TIA,
Graham.
Hi all. I want to export data from excel 2003 to sql server 2005. I am using the following script:
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE;

EXEC sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO
Insert into Pamphlet
Select * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;Database=C:Pamphlet.xls;HDR=YES', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet3$]')
But it is giving the following error:
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
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 2
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
The above script is working fine with Excel 2002 but not with 2003. Can someone please provide me exact script of importing data from excel 2003 to sql server 2005. I have also tried the Linked server option but it is still giving the same error.
Please help me.
Just installed SQL Server 2005 Eval version and Management Studio does not display any Import/Export functions to load data into tables of an existing database. I thought that this feature was turned off only in Management Studio Express.
I have a simple Integration Services project and the problem is that decimal fields are importing as real (I'm loosing the digits behind the decimal point).
The project contains a data flow task importing a flat file (.csv) to an SQL Server destination. My .csv file has two decimal type fields. Example:
Field 1: 12345.67
Field 2: .123456
My database table that I'm importing to has two fields. The only way that I can get this data to import is to define the fields as "float" in both the text file and database table. I want the database table fields to be defined as decimal or numeric, not float:
Field 1: decimal(7,2)
Field 2: decimal(6,6)
When all fields are defined as decimal (in both the flat file and database file), I get the following results:
Field 1: 12345.00
Field 2: .000000
How does one import decimal data from a flat file (.csv)?
Thank you in advance!
Hi all,
Hopefully I am posting this question in the correct forum. I am still learning about SQL 2005. Here is my issue. I have an access db that I archive weekly into and SQL server table. I have used the dst wizard to create an import job and initally that worked fine. field I have as the primary key in the access db cannot be the primary key in the sql table since I archive weekly and that primary key field will be imported several time over. I overcame this initally by not having a primary key in the sql table. This table is strictly for reference. However, now I need to setup a unique field for each of the records in the sql table. What I have done so far is create a recordID field in the sql table that is an int and set as yes to Identify (auotnumber). That worked great and created unique id for all existing records. The problem now is on the import. When I try to import the access table i am getting an error because of the extra field in the sql table, and the error is saying cannot import null value into this field. So... my final question is how can I import the access table into the sql table with one extra field which is the autonumber unique field? Thanks a bunch for any asistance.

View 3 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone have any great suggestions on how I can import an online XML file into an SQL 2005 table?
So far I tried to accomplish it with SSIS Data Flow Task where my source is XML Source (Data access mode: XML file location; XML location: URL, Use inline schema = True). This set up properly identified the columns to be imported.
I used Copy Column data flow transformation task to load data to OLE DB destination table that has same structure.
When I run the task it does execute with no errors, however the table remains empty. It looks like I am failing to read the actual data.
Do you have any suggestions? I am willing to go around this approach with stored procs/com/you name it €“ just make it work!

hello there! i have a problem importing data from a remote connection using Sybase ASE ODBC driver(the sybase odbc driver is the only way we can access the database from the remote connection, we've already tried this in crystal reports). in the sql server import export wizard i chose the .net framework data provider for odbc. then below the wizard requires the following info: the connection string, DSN and driver. i specified the correct driver and dsn. in the connection string i specified the user id and the server name but it still produces error. the error says:
the operation could not be completed.
additional information:
ERROR[01000][SYBASE][ODBC Sybase driver][Sybase]ct_connect(): user api layer: internal Client Library error: HAFAILOVER: Trying to connect to server.

I'm really new to the whole database deal (as well as VB.net) - specifically with the capabilities surrounding VB and SQL Server 2005. My question is open to any recommendations...
What I have is an application that a user uses to create 'new' products. They are presented a form to enter the information regarding the product they wish to create. They enter the details of the product and also locate an image that represents the product, too. Currently, this application saves the product information (including binary image data) into a SQL Server 2005 Express Edition database. This application and database reside on a client pc. What I need to do is to be able save updated and newly created product data into a file of some sort. That file will make its way to a memory stick (USB) and then be transported to a 'field' machine. Quite simply, what is the best way to do this? Are there walk-throughs on this sort of thing? The target database is also SQL Server 2005. I thought I'd post this question on here to get the best design ideas... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
