Importing An Oracle .dmp File Into SQL
Sep 4, 2001
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 am trying to import a variety of data from an Oracle 10g
database. When I import the data using the OLE DB it takes a long
time (100K records an hour).
How can I improve the throughput of my import?
Is there a better driver I could be using?
Any input will be appreciated.

hi,
this is my current set up:
sql server 2005 express edition,
sql server management studio express,
oracle tables (original source data currently linked through odbc)
adp database file (new db where i'm trying to import the above oracle tables)
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.
i have also heard of "linked servers" and "dts", but would like some experts advice before starting looking into this.
many thanks

Hello all, I hoping to get some input on how to get around this odd problem. I use the SSIS Import Wizard to create a package that imports data from an Oracle 9 database into SQL 2005. One of the 'columns' selected from Oracle is actually two floating point columns multiplied together.
ie: SELECT one * two FROM table
In the SSIS wizard the data preview for this shows up as it should, with the column data in floating point form. However after actually importing the data, all the numbers get imported as integers even though they are going into a floating point column.
Any ideas how to get around this?
Thanks

I have SQL Server 2000 and am using DTS to simply import some data located on a remote Oracle DB.
If I have the following information:
TNS Name:
ThisApp.world
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS =
(COMMUNITY = tcpxxx.world)
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = SomeHost)
(Port = 1234)
)
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = App)
(GLOBAL_NAME = ThisApp.world)
)
)
And I also have the name of the Table.
Using the DTS Wizard, on the Choose a Data Source screen, I pick the following:
Data Source: Microsoft ODBC Drive for Oracle
Server:
Username:
Password:
I don't know what I should put into the other fields, given what I have above, i.e. what to put in for Server, Username, and Password! Or should I use a different procedure to import this Oracle data? I am almost positive I was not supplied the username/password. I was told I could connect given the above TNS information. What do you all recommned?
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to import application tables from oracle but they do not show up in the list of tables. I suspect that this is because the tables are owned by System. Is there any way other than changing the owner to get these tables to appear in the import list?
Thanks,

Hi,
I created SQL Server package and schedule the job. SQL Server allows us to connected different database for e.g. for oracle using "Oracle Provide for OLD DB" to retrieve our database. A link is create between this database which move the data to SQL Server. I'm sure there is no issues in the link, as I'm using it to retrieve several oracle database which contains both Arabic and English data.
But after Importation it is showing Junk values. Please advise me what step I should take next.
Regards
Azeem

I have created a simple package that uses a sql command to pull data from an oracle database and inserts the data into a sql 2005 table. Some of the data fields that i am pulling from contain two digits after the decimal point, however this data is lost when it gets into sql. I have even tried putting the data into a flat file, and still the data is lost.
In the package I have a ole db source connection which is the oracle database and when i do the preview i see all the data I need. I am very confused and tried a number of things to get the data into sql, but none work. Any ideas would be very helpful.
thanks

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?

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!

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??
