Link Text File To Server
Dec 4, 2013How to link a text file in sql server and how to save/reuse the import specifications.
View 7 RepliesHow to link a text file in sql server and how to save/reuse the import specifications.
View 7 RepliesI have a report that returns a field with the location of a .csv file on the network. The value of the field looks like this:
\ServerNamedatafile.csv
I need to let the user click a link to open the file. Simply making the Jump To Url under navigation the field value doesn't work; it's not clickable. I've tried a javascript new window command, but I'm no good at javascript.
All my google results turn up unrelated items because I'm searching "ssrs open file" or "ssrs open file in windows explorer".
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi, not sure if this is the correct forum to post in?
I am trying to connect to a csv file to import into a table to process thru my vb.net coded application.
I see from BOL that I should not allow ad ho distributed queries and should create a linked server to the data I require.
I am trying to create a linked server to the csv file selected by the user but am coming unstuck as I do not know the correct info to put in the connection settings etc.
Code Snippet
Dim srvAdminServer As Server = Nothing
Dim cnSQLConnection As SqlClient.SqlConnection = New SqlClient.SqlConnection(My.Settings.MMConnectionString)
Dim scnServerConnection As ServerConnection = Nothing
Dim lsrv As LinkedServer
cnSQLConnection.Open()
scnServerConnection = New Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ServerConnection(cnSQLConnection)
srvAdminServer = New Server(scnServerConnection)
lsrv = New LinkedServer(srvAdminServer, "CSV-IMPORT")
lsrv.ProductName = "MSDASQL"
lsrv.Create()
The code above does not error until I call the create method when I get an unknown product or provider error?
This is all new to and I have searched and searched without success!
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Hi all.
I need to create a Linked Server in SQL 2000 to a text file. Importing the file is not an option. It has to be linked. I tried creating a ODBC link to it but I must be doing something wrong because it didn't work.
Please help.
Thanks,

I have a text file and moved the data to sql server using import and export data. These are step I am doing.
1. Open Microsoft Sql Server and select DTS Import Export Wizard
2. Using the wizard , I am selecting the Data Source as Text File and provided the file name.
3. In the next option, I am choosing Delimited , followed by Tab option.
4. Then, I am selecting the required Destination and the required Database also.
5. I am choosing the files specified and Run the file.
This method works perfectly.
However, I want a method, where I could avoid steps 1 thru 5 and provide the user a singe step. I mean just an execute of a stored procedure should do the steps 1 thru 5. Is that possible.
Thanks.
Hi
I need to generate a text file from SQL Server. The task automatically runs daily.
The format of the text file use "/" to separate the field and the row. At the end of the file, it adds number of char and uses "". The number of char includes the data parts and excludes a few word of "the number of char".
For example,
The underline fonts mean the first row record. The Bold fonts mean the second row record. The Italic fonts mean the third row record. The red fonts mean the number of char and the end of file.

Hello folks!
I have written a query that I need to save results of. Is there some statement that I can place at the top of my query (like we can do in Oracle through spool command) to specify the directoryfilename to save query results to? Eventually I need to schedule this to run daily via a DTS package.
Please let me know if you've come across this before?
Thanks so much!

Hi there folks,
was just wondering if there was an easy way to include a files contents into a web page via a database field. A bit confusing i know.
Here goes:
I got a field called ContentPage stored in a database. (e.g Index.htm)
I want to retrieve this page and then include its contents in my middle div of the webpage like so: <!--#include file="<%=ContentPage%>"-->. Not allowing me to do this as you may have guessed. These pages will either be htm or aspx pages. This would make my life so much easier.
Is there any way of doing this or am i kidding myself.
Would appreciate any help.
Paul

Hello,
Is there a way to import data from a text file with DELPHI toward a SQL Server table.
I heard about BCP ...?
Does someone know?
THANKS.
I have a text file I am trying to import into SQL Server using OLEDB connection.
It's a fixed field text file, ragged right format. One of my columns maps to a numeric column in the DB. In some spots in the file, it is blank, in others there is actual numeric data.
I can't get it to import. If I set the text file column to numeric, I get an error "That value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data." If I set the text file column to string, I get a similar error from the OLE DB provider, "Invalid character value for cast specification"
I have tried telling it to retain nulls in the data flow and the other way as well. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
