Hello everyone!
I'm having a problem with inserting the content of a text file into a Sql Server 2005 database.
I'm reading the text file into a dataset, and works fine. What I can't do is what I suspect is the simple part: Insert all the data into a table that has exactly the same configuration that the file. I've never worked with dataset's before, and I can't seem to find the answer to this!
This is what I have done so far:
Dim i2 As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim File As String = Server.MapPath("..DocsFactsFORM_MAN_V3_1.txt")
Dim TableName As String = "Facts"
Dim delimiter As String = "9"
Dim result As DataSet = New DataSet()
Dim s As StreamReader = New StreamReader(File)
Dim columns As String() = s.ReadLine().Split(Chr(9))
result.Tables.Add(TableName)
Dim strs1 As String() = columns
For i2 = 0 To CInt(strs1.Length) - 1
Dim col As String = strs1(i2)
Dim added As Boolean = False
Dim [next] As String = ""
Dim i As Integer = 0
While Not added
Dim columnname As String = String.Concat(col, [next])
columnname = columnname.Replace(Chr(9), "")
If Not result.Tables(TableName).Columns.Contains(columnname) Then
result.Tables(TableName).Columns.Add(columnname)
added = True
Else
i += 1
[next] = String.Concat("_", i.ToString())
End If
End While
Next i2
Dim strs2 As String() = s.ReadToEnd().Split(Chr(13) & Chr(10).ToString())
For j = 0 To CInt(strs2.Length) - 1
Dim items As String() = strs2(j).Split(Chr(9))
result.Tables(TableName).Rows.Add(items)
Next j
So now I have my dataset populated with all the information, but how can I insert it into the database?
If anyone can help I would appreciate very, very much!
Thank you

Hi. I am currently building a blog application, and I need some advice... I have the post title, post date, post by, etc stored in a database table, however I was wondering whether I should store the actual post content in the database as well or in a text file. For example, if the posts get really long would it slow down database performance or would there not be much of a difference? Furthermore, if I wanted to keep the posts private, a text file would not be ideal as it can be accessed easily by surfers... What do you recommend?Thanks a lot
I have a table with a column [FileData] of type TEXT or XML. I need to write the content of the column to a file, using sp_OAWrite for example, but the stored procedure who needs to read the content and write it to the file does not work because the limitation is no local variable for those types. What use is that datatype if i can not use it in procedures like this?
Anyone out there who could give me a tip on how to solve that?
I get error reports in simple text files like the one below in relatively the same format. The only thing that varies is the number error reasons as there can be any number of error reasons for a file. Usually there is only one but there can be a handful. What is the best way to capture the error description and count of errors no matter how many there are? I want to take these items and update a table I have in sql server 2008r.

Hello there! I installed and configured SQL Server 2005 reporting services. When I try to connect to it using SQL Server Management Studio, I get the following error: Client found response content type of "text/html", but expected "text/xml". What should be done to overcome this? Does anyone have any idea about this? Thanks in advance Hemant
Hi, In my VB .Net application , when I am trying to fire a SSRS report on my local machine . Its giving the error ".Client found response content type of 'text/html', but expected 'text/xml'." The request failed with the error message: -- <html><head><title>Error</title></head><body>The Local Security Authority cannot be contacted </body></html> --. the error is being thrown at the code line...
I am getting these errors from Report Manager. It seems that every time after the server has been idling for about 15 minutes, I would get this error message. I can click on other links and I am able to continue to use Report Manager.
Is there a timeout setting to help me resolve this or is this a bug with Report Manager? I just insitalled SP2 on the SQL Server and the Reporting Service.

Hi,I have setup a report model and am ready to deploy it for the first time. I have had no issues deploying my report definitions so presumably this should be alright.However, trying to deploy it gives this error:

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();
SqlConnection.Open(); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); SqlConnection.Close(); RefreshData(); I am running Visual Studio C# Express 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005.
I have a SQL SERVER database which has Articles Table. This table contains "Description" field which is of type "text". I am trying to insert 800- 1000 words of data into this field. This data also contains code snippets. I dont know for some reason it only inserts one or two lines and thats it. No error is being thrown. I am using multiline textbox to enter the data into the database. any ideas
It displays something like this:
test 1

Creating XML Men // This is very long text. Actually its the whole article but it only displays three words
I have a web form with a text field that needs to take in as much as the user decides to type and insert it into an nvarchar(max) field in the database behind. I've tried using the new .write() method in my update statement, but it cuts off the text after a while. Is there a way to insert/update in SQL 2005 this without resorting to Bulk Insert? It bloats the transaction log and turning the logging off requires a call to sp_dboptions (or a straight-up ALTER DATABASE), which I'd like to avoid if I can.
I am trying to SELECT various fields from a table in SQL Server to INSERT INTO a Text file defined using a Schema.ini. I know that this can be done using BCP (not sure if I could specify which fields as not all are required), DTS (which I have done) and with a Linked Server (where I keep getting a bookmark error). The process used in Access is [Sample#csv] IN 'C:' 'TEXT;' but I can't seem to find the format to use in SQL using either a MSDASQL or ODBC connection string. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
I have imported an event log file from an NT server in a test database . The table has been created automatically with some 10 columns as Col001...Col002 ...and so on till Col0010 . Now i want to copy the data of the event logs to specific columns . So i created a table with name such as Evnt , date , time , server and evntdescription so that whenever i can execute a simple query like
Select * from tablename where type = 'app' , Server = 'test1 ' . so that i get all the results for that server 'test1 with type 'application' .
The problem is how do i insert that event log file into the table which i have created with different columns names . So that the data with 'App' should go to column 'type , data with server name should go to the column name server and so on ..
I tried all the was but could not succeed . Can i get some help in this regard please through some stored procedures or through DTS , if its possible .
I import a group of sentences INSERT from a text file .... test
Insert Into XXXXX Values('UUUUUU','3') Insert Into XXXXX Values('UUUUUU','3') Insert Into XXXXX Values('UUUUUU','3') Insert Into XXXXX Values('UUUUUU','3') Insert Into XXXXX Values('UUUUUU','3') Insert Into XXXXX Values('UUUUUU','3') Insert Into XXXXX Values('UUUUUU','3') Insert Into XXXXX Values('UUUUUU','3')
The file contains 1000 insert (Aprox); I read lines for lines the file I make the insert
In VS.NET 2003 it works correctly and the process consumes little memory but In VS.NET 2005 the pocket is without space.
How I can specify the factor of growth of the database SQL Mobile?
I am writing a .NET service, and I need to insert files in a SQL DB for temporary storage.
I have never inserted a file into a SQL database before. I am thinking about using the image field type. Has anyone done this before? How did you do it?
I have the data of ACTTAB, APTTAB and etc, how to i export this data from SQL and insert into a text file??? this is the first time i need to do. as for the 2nd thing is that after export the data from SQL into text file, i need to import this data into mongoDB. So basically how to export this following data (ACTTAB, APTTAB and etc) into text file?
Greetings,A novice needs some advice:I am able to bulk insert data from a text file into a table. Is itpossible to run a query and insert the results into a text file on thelocal or network hard drive?Thanks For Reading,Aaron
Hello I need to write a proc to load data from txt files I receive into a table. It works fine when I specify bulk insert.... from 'myfilename.txt' BUT my filename will always change and I store it into a variable @filename
When I try to run the bulk insert instruction ... from @filename it doesn't work.. do you know why?
OK, Ive read many posts on this problem but have seen no resolution.
Here's the deal. When on the actual SQL box (There's 2 in the cluster) the bulk insert works fine. No errors and the event log on the machine that is hosting the text file shows that the account that SQL runs on has accessed the file. This account is a DOmain account and is in the Local Administrator of the SQL server and the remot box hosting the text file.
Thats great if you want your developers testing and accessing your SQL box as Administrators. We don't work that way. Our developers connect via SQL Management Studio and test ther stuff that way. That's where the problem rears it's ugly head.
When anyone runs a Bulk Insert command that accesses a text file that is on a remote server, they get an "Access Denied". Now, I did a lot of testing and found that when the users executes the Bulk Insert command from the SQL Management studio on their desk top, they connect to the SQL box with their credentials (OK, that's correct right?), SQL then runs the Bulk Isert command which then reaches out to the remote file server but gets the "Access Denied". I check the logs and it shows that "Anonymous" was trying to accesss the file.
Why is Anonymouss coming over as credentials for SQL on a Bulk Insert? I'm no idiot but this sounds like a big crappy bug tha M$ will not fess to. I followed many suggestions, made sure NTFS and Share level permissions were correct (That was the first thing...), made sure the account that was running as SQL Server within the cluster on both nodes in the cluster was the same, that wasn't it, I even created a SPN for SQL to run and automatically register in AD with the credentials that SQL runs as. NOTHING!!!
Has anyone gotten their bulk insert to work when inserting from a file that is NOT local to the SQL box? Any help is appreciated, but putting the text files on the local SQL box IS NOT AN OPTION.
Hello, I'm learning about asp .net and I've created a simple application with SQLServer integration. I have 3 text boxes where I can insert text and then use them as parameters for the Select query string of a SqlDataSource which is then bound to a DataGrid.My question is: Is there any default configuration I can use with the SqlDataSource which do not add a given field as a parameter to the WHERE clause if the text box content is empty ? Sure I can sweep through all my text boxes, check if they're empty and dynamically build the WHERE clause with correct parameters, but is theres a built-in, more elegant way to solve this ?Thanks in advance.Arashikage
I am using Microsoft SQL 2005, I need to do a BULK INSERT from a .csv I just downloaded from paypal. I can't edit some of the columns that are given in the report. I am trying to load specific columns from the file.
bulk insert Orders FROM 'C:Users*******DesktopDownloadURL123.csv' WITH ( FIELDTERMINATOR = ',', FIRSTROW = 2,
ROWTERMINATOR = '' )
So where would I state what column names (from row #1 on the .csv file) would be used into what specific column in the table.
I saw this on one of the sites which seemed to guide me towards the answer, but I failed.. here you go, it might help you:
FORMATFILE [ = 'format_file_path' ]
Specifies the full path of a format file. A format file describes the data file that contains stored responses created using the bcp utility on the same table or view. The format file should be used in cases in which:
The data file contains greater or fewer columns than the table or view.
The columns are in a different order.
The column delimiters vary.
There are other changes in the data format. Format files are usually created by using the bcp utility and modified with a text editor as needed. For more information, see bcp Utility.
Hi, i have a table with a nvarchar column,i want to send this column value as unicode content to customer mail box , but when i send it a mail with '?' customer receive , how can i accomplish this? thanks
I am trying to take an entire MS SQL database and put it in an sql file. I have succesfully copied the tables into an sql file by highlighting the tables in enterprise manager and choosing 'generate sql script'.
That gives me the structure, but now I would like the data (in insert statements). I have looked in enterprise manager's export wizard and sql analyzer to no avail. There seem to be a lot of options for exporting data except this one! Please point me in the right direction.
At the end of the day, I would like to be able to put everything in a text file. Then, should I have problems, I can just copy my text into query analyzer and have a brand new database.
Hello friends....
