Importing XML File Using SSIS (DTS)
Mar 3, 2006
I can use MS Access to import an XML file and it builds the columns and loads the data. I am trying to use SQL Server 2005 to do the same thing and there doesn't seen to be a way to easily accomplish the same task that works so well in Access.
Has anyone tried this? If so and you were successful, what were the steps to set up the package?
Thanks.

Hi,
i need to import a fixed with text file into several tables in SQL 2005.
The file contains records that should go inte different tables and i would like to know the order of the design..
I also get some errors when trying to convert the text to unicode, even with the derviced column data flow task..?
flat file source -> Data conversation/Derived column -> aggregate?
I have not found the way of importing the file into several different tables in the DB.
Thanks for suggestions..

Okay... I am now about to pull my hair out: something that worked VERY EASILY in Server 2000 doesn't seem to work at all in 2005. I am trying to pump an Excel table into a 2005 database. I go into the Visual Studio Integration Services Project (this is so much easier... cynicism) and set up a project. I have my data source (Excel), I have my destination (SQL Natve Server, database). I set it up the same way that it worked (perfectly) in DTS and I run it... it grinds away and reports back that all is well... no errors. I go looking for the table... not there. I try with an SA login VS windows authentication... not there. I try with a different table... no there. I try with a different database... not there.
I am certain you can imagine the frustration... that is, if you are a user, not a programmer at Microsoft.
Okay, okay... I won't launch in to abuse here... but hey, how do I make this very complicated process now work?
Thanks...

We have a 2014 SQL Server. I have a SSIS package written in VS 2008 where I am simply importing an .xlsx into an existing table via a mapped drive. I have it working on my development machine using the 2007 Access 32 bit driver from [URL]..... Our DBA is trying to schedule the package to execute on a schedule job on the 2014 server and we received an error. He installed the 32 bit driver and still getting the error. I set the package to run in 32 bit and we are still getting the error.

I've imported an SSIS package into Management Studio (2008 R2) and I've set up a SQL Server Agent job to call the package but it fails due to error code: 0xc00160aa.
As far as I can tell this is because it is unable to read the location of the package despite it being a file system location within Management studio. Also I can run the package manually within Management Studio, but when I try to call it via the job it fails.

Hi guys
I need help, I am building an Intranet for my company, and we have a system here that we use to clock in and clock out, and the data is stored in an Access database. Now the HR manager needs to run a report weekly for all the temps to see what time they clocked in and out. I have designed a web form where he puts in the date from and date to and select the employee, BUT the problem is I'm using SQL Server, I import the Access database to SQL every morning. Now I need to know How can I have Job in SQL that will import the data automatically without me having to do it manually every morning.
How do I do this using SSIS and DTS I'm using SQL Server 2005.
Thanx guys, plz help

I'm trying to import a text file into a table. The table has a nullable bit field. The corresponding field in the file has Y/N rather than 1/0. I'm getting an error on that column "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.". So I'm assuming I need to convert the Y/N to a 1/0 under the "derived columns" step. Is that correct and can someone tell me how to do that exactly?
Thanks

Dear friends,
I am trying to import dbf files (which were located in one directory) to SQL Server 2005. All are same structure. So I have to import all files into one single table of SQL Server 2005.
ISSUE 1: dBASE is not supporting directly by 2005 .
DETAILS: 2005 is not allowing directly dBASE files to import but one way I found i.e changing extendend properties in connection manager. But this is for single file only. I have to import all files located in directory.
ISSUE2: Same destination table is not allowing by 2005
DETAILS: All dbf files are having same structure. I have to import them into single table of SQL Server 2005. But it is giving the error while I am using SSIS wizard like "same destination is not allowed and destination table must be unique"
So, plz help me to resolve this issue.
seeking for ur reply asap (very urgent need)

Hi all-
I am in need of some help importing a .CSV file into a SQL Server 2005 Express database. I can't use SSIS because it's SQL Server Express. The operation needs to run as a parameterized Stored Proc which I will call from ASP.NET.
The problem is that I need to get the only 2 columns from the text file, then "tack on" 3 more columns that will have data that changes, which will come in as parameters to the T-SQL stored proc. This prevents me from using a straight BULK INSERT.
The data in each of these columns will be the same for each record in that column - that is, every record in every field in column 3, for example, will be the same.
Some of the files will have 4 million records and up, so speed is of the essence here. I tried using BULK INSERT to dump the data into a #temporary table - which took 38 seconds and was acceptably fast - but then, my next step was to dump the additional data into the other columns using UPDATE... SET. I gave up on this after the query ran for THIRTY MINUTES! My next step was going to be to move the data from the temporary table into the target permanent table somehow, but I never got that far when I saw how long the previous step took...
It's a little odd, because I can do the same thing in MS Access in under 5 minutes by using a SQL statement like this in my ASP.NET code:
"INSERT INTO [Target_Table] (field1, field2, field3, field4)" & _
"SELECT F1, F2, '" & strSource & "', Now() AS DateTimeStamp " & _
"FROM [Text;HDR=NO;DATABASE=" & strPath & ";].[" & strFilename & "]"
strSource is a string that the User enters (properly vetted for security); strPath and strFilename are strings holding the path and filename to the .CSV file. I create a unique filename from the file the user uploads. This works in under 5 minutes for several millions of records in MS Access, as I said above. I've had no luck getting anything similar to work in SQL Server, though.
Anyway, does anyone have any ideas? This is somewhat urgent, as the project was about to go "live" when it was discovered that the actual, live data had grown to the point where Access couldn't hold it, and a move to SQL Server Express was necessary.
Thanks in advance,
-Andrew

I'm a newbie to SSIS, so there is probably an easy solution:
I'm importing from a csv file into a db table, but would like to remove the quotation marks from around the data before inserting into the table.
Are there any suggestions of how to remove the "data" marks? Would a Foreach Loop container work for this?

In SQL 2000, I had a working DTS package that would import a Pervasive SQL database into SQL 2000 (There is a good reason, provided on request). The column type definitions came over just fine in SQL 2000 with a few minor changes.
In SQL 2005 (SSIS), i create a Data Source via the Connection Manager (Provider: .Net ProvidersOdbc Data Provider) to the Pervasive database (System DSN, <database_odbc>). I then create a Data Destination via the Connection Manager (Provider: Native OLE DBSQL Native Client) to the SQL database. Both databases reside on the same machine.
I've created a DataSource Reader and used the sql command, "select * from ARCustomer" as an example. The issue is with "data types" for the columns. They don't come close to resembling the results that i had in SQL 2000 DTS.
Is there another method or parameter setting that will preserve the "data types" for the columns being imported from the Pervasive database.
This has been a real stumbling block and any help would be truly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your assistance ... Bernie

I want to read data from a XML into SQL Server database tables "tour" and "stop".
There is a 1:n relation between tour and stop.
(a shortened XML sample, relation Tour : Stop = 1 : n)
<Tour>
<Mandator>mein kunde</Mandator>
<TourNoPlan>TNP_1</TourNoPlan>
<TourNo>1</TourNo>
<Stop>
<StopNo>SN_1</StopNo>
<GPSGeoDec>+8.0000,+48.0000</GPSGeoDec>
</Stop>
<Stop>
<StopNo>SN_2</StopNo>
<GPSGeoDec>+8.3000,+48.5000</GPSGeoDec>
</Stop>
</Tour>
I am able to insert elements from <Tour> into the table "tour" with the data flow in the Integration Services. But I need the values from the tag <TourNoPlan> in the rows for the table stop (it is the foreign key) in the second step. How can I get the values in the SSIS from the <Tour> in the dataflow for the different <stop>? It is a hierarchicle structure - normal for a XML. Is there a sample for reading such a XML into a Database? I have tried it with [Tour::TourNoPlan] or similar, but it was wrong. Second try was setting a UserVariable in the tour dataflow to the actual value of the TourNoPlan and using it in the data flow for the stop tags - but only a setting in a script at PostExecution was possible - to late.
I think a very simple problem and the same for each XML Import. Any ideas ???
Thanks and Best regards

HI Guys,
I am doing the following to read the data in a text file and inserting it into SQL.
1) Open db connection
2) Open Text File
3) loop through text file all along inserting each row into the db
4) close the text file
5) close the db connection
However, the text file has over 400 rows/lines of data that need to be inserted into the db. Each line in the text file is a row in the db. At anyrate, the above script times out. Is there a better, faster way to do this? I can't use Bulk Insert due to permissions previlages.
Thanks in Advance!

Hi all,
Please let me know if it is possible to import an Oracle .dmp binary file into SQL using DTS. DTS has ODBC and OLE DB drivers for Oracle but both require specifying the Oracle database name, user name and password. i.e., it looks like the only way to import the .dmp file into SQL would be to first load the .dmp file into Oracle and then tranfer it from Oracle to SQL using DTS. Is there any way to load the .dmp file directly into SQL?
The .dmp file is a binary file that has been generated from Oracle using the 'Export' utility.
Thanks in advance,
-Praveena

I have large flat files that I need to import using DTS. The record counts are between 500,000 and 3000,000. Or, 16 to 116 MB. When creating the DTS package I need to use to import, the wizard is haulting at the point where I should place the fixed points for the fields. I thinks it is because, the wizard will only recognize excel or text files. I cannot save these files as either txt or xls, because of their size. does anybody have any suggestions?

I am building a aspx/c# application with SQL Server 2000 backend. Now i want to have the option for "Importing" the data into one of the tables in my database.
The source file for the import is a text file , CSV format. I want the users to click on the "Import" button placed on my webform and supply the souce file and the data should get imported into the SQL Server 2000 database table.
I want to know the various ways to implement this. Is it possible to invoke the DTS and then DTS will itself guide the users do the import? or if i need to write a SQL query , what would that be like??

I have an app written in delphi v5 with a MS SQL Database and I'm struggling with an import feature i need
The user needs a function to import Contact data from a txt/csv file into the Contact Table
Details of feature:
the user enters the different parameters into the Delphi app e.g.
File Location
Files Includes Column Headings or not
Whether the file Comma or Tab Seperated
Mapping the fields
Then i need to use those parameters and run some sort of import routine putting the data into the specific table.
The tables consists of 3 fields - First Name, Surname, Mob Number - but these fields can be in any order in the file. for example Col 1 (in file) needs to go into Field 3 in DB. this is sorted in the Mapping Fields above
How do I do this using MS SQL??
I've been looking at using the BULK INSERT command e.g
BULK INSERT Contact
FROM 'C:Import_data.csv'
WITH
{
FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
ROWTERMINATOR = ''
}
but at the minute i just get error -
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Syntax error or access violation.
Is this the correct command to use??
Do you know any websites that can point me in the right direction??
