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,

Hi,
I am using an MDB file to talk to a SQL Server. I would like to use pass-through queries to keep as much of the processing on the server as possible. However, I have been told that the results of such queries will be read-only. How do I keep the processing on the server but generate read-write answers to my queries?
Thanks

I want to link a file in the table, and want to open in the particuler programme, but the basic problem is by executing the T-SQL command this file open. Like creating the Hyperlink because I want to implement this command in my ASP project page.
Is the procedure is helpful for inserting, linking or opening the file in appropriate programme?

How to link a text file in sql server and how to save/reuse the import specifications.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI 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.

and this is the date field
{ts '2000-12-10 15:54:56.000'}
Whereas if i export a table in SQl server in Binary mode and then import the file back it works but when do it as text it gives the above error
Pls help me in this i would be very thankful to you.

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.

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?
Hi! I am moving this from the Transact SQL forum as I am not getting a reply. Hope it's OK!
Hello: I have successfully enabled SQL Server 2005 Full Text (MSFTESQL) on my database, created the FT Catalog in Storage, and defined a FT Index for a table ( 1 table for testing).
I have also created an expansion and replacement entry in the Thesaurus (tsENU.xml) and removed the comments. I have restarted the server and the FTS Service, In addition, (per your comments to another user) I have used sqlcmd to confirm my default language of 1033.
I am unable to get any results from the Thesaurus file. I am able to run queries against the index using CONTAINS and FREETEXT. I get results - however I only get the same thing I would get from the CONTAINS portion of the query.
Also ..SQLSERVER2995MSFTEUser$.. has permission on the FTData folder.
// This query //
SELECT name, description FROM table
WHERE CONTAINS(description, ' FORMSOF(THESAURUS, blender) ')
// on this Thesaurus located in this C: folder MSSQL.1MSSQLFTData sENU.xml //
<XML ID="Microsoft Search Thesaurus">
<thesaurus xmlns="x-schema:tsSchema.xml">
<diacritics = false/>
<case caseflag="false"></case>
<expansion>
<sub>blender</sub>
<sub>chopper</sub>
<sub>grinder</sub>
<sub>food processor</sub>
</expansion>
</thesaurus>
</XML>
// returns this //
A search for blender returns all strings with the exact word blender in them - not even any plural forms. A search for blend or grind returns nothing. FREETEXT does a little better returning blender, blenders, blending. Still no grind,chop, or food process.
Appreciate your help, Thank you.
I would like to extract SQL server (event) log information into text file or DB tables so that we can read it with a script everyday.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI am trying to load 14+ million rows from a text file into local Sql Server. I tried using Sql Server destination because it seemed to be faster, but after about 5 million rows it would always fail. See various errors below which I received while trying different variations of FirstRow/LastRow, Timeout, Table lock etc. After spending two days trying to get it to work, I switched to OLE DB Destination and it worked fine. I would like to get the Sql Server Destination working because it seems much faster, but the error messages aren't much help. Any ideas on how to fix?
Also, when I wanted to try just loading a small sample by specifying first row/last row, it would get to the upper limit and then picked up speed and looked like it kept on reading rows of the source file until it failed. I expected it to just reach the limit I set and then stop processing.

Hi,
I want to create a text file and write to text it by calling its assembly from Stored Procedure. Full Detail is given below
I write a code in class to create a text file and write text in it.
1) I creat a class in Visual Basic.Net 2005, whose code is given below:
Imports System
Imports System.IO
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.Diagnostics
Public Class WLog
Public Shared Sub LogToTextFile(ByVal LogName As String, ByVal newMessage As String)
Dim w As StreamWriter = File.AppendText(LogName)
LogIt(newMessage, w)
w.Close()
End Sub
Public Shared Sub LogIt(ByVal logMessage As String, ByVal wr As StreamWriter)
wr.Write(ControlChars.CrLf & "Log Entry:")
wr.WriteLine("(0) {1}", DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString(), DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString())
wr.WriteLine(" :")
wr.WriteLine(" :{0}", logMessage)
wr.WriteLine("---------------------------")
wr.Flush()
End Sub
Public Shared Sub LotToEventLog(ByVal errorMessage As String)
Dim log As System.Diagnostics.EventLog = New System.Diagnostics.EventLog
log.Source = "My Application"
log.WriteEntry(errorMessage)
End Sub
End Class
2) Make & register its assembly, in SQL Server 2005.
3)Create Stored Procedure as given below:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.SP_LogTextFile
(
@LogName nvarchar(255), @NewMessage nvarchar(255)
)
AS EXTERNAL NAME
[asmLog].[WriteLog.WLog].[LogToTextFile]
4) When i execute this stored procedure as
Execute SP_LogTextFile 'C:Test.txt','Message1'
5) Then i got the following error
Msg 6522, Level 16, State 1, Procedure SP_LogTextFile, Line 0
A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user defined routine or aggregate 'SP_LogTextFile':
