In my SSIS package I am trying to import a .csv flat file with about 170,000 rows of data with 75 columns (I know this is rather large). I would like to create a SSIS package that loads ALL of the rows of data into a table. This table has it's fields defined (such as money, float, varchar, datetime, etc). I want the data to load to this table even if there is a conversion error converting any field. When the data is loaded to this table, any fields that couldn't be converted should be set to null. Of the 75 columns of data, there are MANY columns that could be invalid.
For example, if the flat file contains the value "00/00/00" for my "PaidDate" field, I would want all of the other fields to be populated and the value for this particular record's "PaidDate" field to be null.
It would also be nice if I could trap any of the fields that caused a problem and log them along with the row.
I know that SSIS supports the "Redirect Row" method for handling data, but in my case, I don't want to redirect it. I want to continue to load it, just with a null value.
Is there an easy way of doing this (i.e. perhaps by using the Advanced Editor for the Flat File Source and setting something in the Input/Output columns)? I really don't want to create a Derived Column or Data Conversion transformation for every field that needs to be converted (b/c there are 75 columns to maintain this for).
I know if I import this file to an Access 2003 database, it imports the data fine and logs any conversion errors to an "_ConversionErrors" table. I am basically looking for this same behavior in SSIS, without having to maintain 75 columns.
Do you have to set the Error Output on DF components to "Fail Component" in order to get the errors?
What I would LIKE to do is a combination of "Ignore Failure" and "Fail Component". You see, I am using the Logging feature in my package that creates the sysdtslog90 table in the SQL database. The errors that I am logging make sense and have enough information for my purposes.
The problem is that I would like to continue processing the data and not have it stop when a data error occurs. I REALLY do not want to Redirect Rows unless it is necessary for me to do what I am asking.
Using Ignore Failure on both the source text file and destination SQL table allows the "good" data to be inserted, but I cannot get any info on the columns in error. Conversely, if I choose to Fail component, I get the info on the columns in error, but only the data that was inserted before the error was encountered is inserted into the table.
I get the message when loading the bcp. I check the path variable and the sqlserver BINN directory is there, but twice. If I try opening the command window and write bcp, I get the error, if I enter the whole path c:...80 oolinncp there is no problem. I wonder what could it be?
I've manually reinstalled many times but still having trouble.
Thanx in advance
SQL SERVER 2000 or SQL SERVER 7 (I've tried with both) WINDOWS XP
Please help. We have no idea what is wrong. Error message occurs at the end of the load. "Error at Destination for Row number 6218607. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1. SqlDumpExecptionHandler: Preocess 11 generated fatal exception c0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process."
I installed Sql Server Express Advanced today, and decided to install the toolkit as well. When I open Business Intelligence Development Studio, I get the "Package Load Failure" for the 'ReportDesignerPackage' and 'DataWarehouse VSIntegration layer' packages. I can't seem to find any recent clogs or forum responses that address this issue, and the older ones (most are from 2005) haven't solved the problem. Do I have to reinstall everything???
I am using SQL Server report 2008/2012 (SSRS) and my report viewer contains body content with 3 Row groups. While printing the report, data print with blank space and move to continue data to next page.
Departure flight : 70 rows First Page : 42 rows printed Second Page : 23 rows printed [ Supposed to be print 28 , if the total count of records more than 23 and less than 42 then the page print only 23 records ] Third Page : 5 rows printed
Departure flight : 42 rows First Page : 42 rows printed [Report max. record allowed to print 42 rows so if total record is 42 then print perfectly ]

Here I will describe my problem. 1. We are loading large amount of data from database on background thread which is starting on Application_start event in global.aspx.cs file.The data is later cached for subsquent request to improve the performance. 2. Now when we put the application on web farm garden, it is not able to load the application. 3. We are sending the request the servers through Router kind of application. 4 This application is working fine on single server enviornment.
I just have done the SSIS example in the tutorial document included when install SQL 2005 ENT. I have a problem that whenever I test to run, the service load all data from source with out noticing about the data (I mean it load all the data to the destination), I do it several time and it continue to load all without checking. That mean the data is dublicated when the schedule run???
I think there should be a paramete or something like that to help the engine just load the new data to the destination. Could you help please?
Setup is a common VB.NET application, SQL back, with 5-10 users. Occassionaly from another VB.NET app, I'll need to run a process to upload and insert a handful of records. The records are somewhat large with 100+ fields that require a handful of SELECT and UPDATE statements making the server 'busy' for several minutes.
Independently, the Main application and the Upload application work just fine. It's only when users are active in the main application during the time of the 'upload' process. It's almost as if they 'bump' into each other and the server throws up errors on either app even simple SQL statements. The same tables are being queried, but it doesn't feel like a concurrency issue.
Are these problems expected when running somewhat of a high load? Any ideas on how to make these guys work together without them fighting? Shouldn't SQL be able to handle the statements even during the barrage of update queries and requests? What happens in situations with hundreds or even thousands of users simultaneously accessing?
I'm getting this error on expanding the Databases node in SQL Server Management Studio Express Object Explorer:
Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.SmoEnum) An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.ConnectionInfo) Could not continue scan with NOLOCK due to data movement. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 601)
A similar error message also appeared when I tried opening an existing data connection within Database Explorer in Visual Web Developer Express. (However, the web application ran fine and it managed to access the database normally.)
These errors only appeared recently. Any ideas how to go about solving this issue?
These are couple of simple questions. When I set the data viewers and start the package, data viewer windows pop up but data download process stops. How do you resume the process? Also if I press "hide" for a data viewer window it disappears. How can I get it shown again?
We have a stored procedure that failed with: Could not continue scan with NOLOCK due to data movement
We are running with ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED. There are other jobs running, some of which might be hitting these tables (all using the ROWLOCK hint - though I know that's not guaranteed), however, this stored proc would not be going near the same rows. But even if they were, we'd be happy with either the before-look or after-look. This needs to be a low-impact job and should have minimal impact on ther other jobs, so we can't take out locks. Is there any hint we can use to do this? e.g. can we tell the query to just wait until the data has stopped moving then try again?
how I can load the CSV file data into the sql server table. I know there are ways like bulk insert and other to load the csv file data into the table. But in my case the table doesn't exist and has to be created at the run time. With simple insert in temp table we do like select * into #temp from tablename and that creates the temp table. So. I need something like that which create the temp table and load the data into it. because the CSV file would have different number of columns and names so I can not create the table structure in advance. I have to create the table at run time.
I've question about how to handle structural datamodel changes in a datasource of PowerPivot. Suppose I'm developing a starmodel in SQL Server and sometimes a datatype changes or a name of a field changes in a table. It seems to me that PowerPivot handle this not gracefully as Analysis MD does (mostly). I received an error because of a wrong fieldname or even no error when a dattype changes in PowerPivot. Is this common or do I something wrong here. Does this mean that every time the datamodel changes the PowerPivot should be recreated? Or am I missing the clue here?
Hi! We make complete data load once a week. Now we need to make additional steps to append data on daily basis. We have primary key on the table and it doesn't allow appending duplicate rows. What steps should we create to append data?

I'm needing to load data on the client side to load into a DataGrid. I decided to use excel to load the data, but it doesn't need to be. My problem is that it only loads from the server not the client. I browse to find the file and get the path with a control named ctlFindFile. A button labeled ctlLoadData will when pressed display the pathway in label1 and also place the pathway in the function GetDataFromExcel which returns a dataset from the spreadsheet and displays the data in a dataset. Data is returned fine if I’m on the server, but when I'm on a remote machine I receive an error. That is unless I've place a spreadsheet with the same name and pathway on the server as on the client machine, then I’m able to load the file. Now how do I get it to load from on the client machine?
Code below:

I have a user that is loading data via an Access load procedure to a table that actually is a SQL Server 2005 table but is linked to the Access database. He is saying the load is extremly slow. How can I monitor what it is doing on the SQL Server side?
Hi,I'm extracting data from a mainframe application with a view to loadingit into a MS SQL database. I'm trying to determine the most efficientway to format the mainframe extract file to make loading into thedatabase easier.The problem I have is that the existing record structure includes anarray that can vary between 1 to 50.

How to extract and Load Data using ADO.NET in SSIS.i hope to extract data we have DataReader source .but how to load (Insert) data with ADO.NET ?.and is ADO.Net quicker than OLEDB ?
Hello I am looking for some advise. I have a process to import flat text files. We are importing data from five vendors. These files are seperated by vendor with each vendor having their own directory. The general file layouts are different for each vendor. Each vendor may have up to five different types of files to be imported that are their one directory (sales, inventory, transactions etc). Sales file for Vendor 1 is different layout than sales file for Vendor 2. Each vendor may have multiple instances of each type (store 1 inventory, store 2 inventory, store 1 sales, store 2 sales etc.) There could be up to five hundred files (of the five different types) in a given vendors directory. I am using an import package. This package has five (.dtsx files) different data flows. Each of these data flows has connection managers that connect to the specific types of files (sales, inventory, transactions etc) for that vendor.
My current play is to have the data flow(.dtsx file) parse the store name (from the file name) for each of the file types. It would load/process each of the available file formats (sales, inventory, transactions etc) for that store in that vendor folder. We want the process to load all data files from a given store. It would then move on to the next available store (same vendor). I would like to set the process to run multithreaded so that I am loading as many of the stores for that vendor as possible (there could be over a hundred stores for each vendor) at the same time. How do I get each dataflow to run multiple instances (Instance1 for vendor(x).dtsx, instance2 for vendor(x).dtsx etc) for maximum Vendor(x) input. What is the best way/process/design to track each store name so that each process (instance1, instance2 etc) is loading a distinct store. The files will be moved to a history folder as they are processed. Should I have a different process that gets each store name initially and then saves that information to a SQL table. The dataflow would load the next available store name from the SQL table query and let SQL lock that store?
I have to Load Contacts data from different systems into a single SQL Server 2005 table, the scenario is the following :
I have three systems System 1,System 2 and System 3
Step 1 Load Data From System 1 Step 2 Load Data from System 2 and if there are matching contacts with System 1, then match their details, keep System 1 details Step 3 Load Data from System 3 and if there are matching contacts with System 2, then match their details and if different, flag them, do the same with System details.
The unique ids in the three systems are not the same so only way to match is to do a concatenation of name + address + zip code
My Input is a flat file source and it has spaces in few columns in the data . These columns are linked to another table as a foreign key and when i try loading them in a relational structure Foreigh key violation is occuring , is there a standard method to replace these spaces .
what approach should i take so that data gets loaded in a relational structure.
for example
Name Age Salary Address dsds 23 fghghgh
Salary description level 2345 nnncncn 4
here salary is used in this example , the datatype is char in real scenario
what approach should i take to load the data in with cleansing the spaces in ssis
everything is ok.. the connection is on..the page can be loaded... no error.... BUT the data from the database cannot be retrieved... as in.. it just didnt load on screen... i dont know whats wrong... i have follow all the steps show on a book.. can anyone pls help me?? thks
Hi, I have problem I'm hoping someone can give me some pointers with.
I need to load data from several text files into one table. The format of the files are simple - each line is comma separated, with double quotes around each element e.g.
However, the files themselves will have different numbers of columns e.g file 1 may have 8 columns, file 2 may have 16 columns.
I'm going to load the data into a table that has at least as many columns as the longest file. The table columns are all varchar, and are named simply as [Col001] [Col002] [Col003] etc...
The first two columns of this table must be left empty during the load (I use these later on), so the data entry will start at [Col003].
My question is what is the best way to do this? I thought perhaps using a BULK INSERT in a stored procedure might do the trick, but I haven't used it before and haven't got very far. I gather another approach might be to use bcp utility. Someone has also suggested a DTS package, but the filenames will be suffixed with current date/time stamp, so i don't think that will work.
My preferred appraoch would be the BULK INSERT..but i'm open to any pointers.
I am extracting data from an SQLServer database to load into Teradata using DTS. The performance is abysmal. The same data in a text file loads quickly via multiload. I can move the data to other DBMSs via DTS quickly as well. Is there some way for me to improve the elapsed time/performance while using DTS? If not, what is the best way to move data from SQLServer into Teradata?
