My DTS Package In Via Enterprise Manager Will Not Export Entire Column To A Text File
Nov 28, 2007
I have created a DTS package that pulls data from one column (varchar,600) in a table and exports it to a text file. The max length in this field is only 285 characters long, however, the end of one of the records is being truncated in the text file. Data is tab delimited in the table and is being exported that way.
How do I export an sql table from a server db using SQL Enterprise Manager? I have tried using Microsoft Web Data Administrator but it can't connect to the db. The db that is live has all the data, but I don't have a copy locally (I accidently deleted it)...which is why i need to export it to an sql file. Can someone please help me as I have exhausted my own knowledge. Cheers
I'm trying to use enterprise manager (v 8.0) to generate a sql script. I know I can select the tables I want to script and then select "Generate SQL Script".
My problem is that I can't seem to figure out a way to get the INSERT statements for all the data in the tables into that same script. I can get the table CREATES, ALTERS, etc.
Is there a way to include the INSERTs for data as well???
Hi,When I copy tables in a database from one server to another usingenterprise manager, everything copies ok, except for field defaults.Has anyone seen this, and what is the solution?--http://www.dbForumz.com/ This article was posted by author's requestArticles individually checked for conformance to usenet standardsTopic URL: http://www.dbForumz.com/General-Dis...pict174830.htmlVisit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

I created a simple SSIS package that downloads a file from an FTP server and does some processing on it. I scheduled it as a job step with the Sql Job Agent. The problem is that this file is not always available for pick up, but when it is I need it very quickly. I'm setting the schedule to look for it every minute. Anytime the file is not there, the package fails and shows up in the job history in red.
Is there any way to prevent an error in this task from registering a package failure?
I've been trying to create a full-text index using Enterprise Manager. If I right-click on the table, "Full-Text Index Table" is grayed-out. If I right-click on Full-Text Catalogs, "New Full-Text Catalog" is grayed-out. If I try to start the Full-Text Indexing Wizard it tells me that the "Full-Text Server service needs to be running." The SQL database is on a remote server, and the host assures me that everything on their end is working properly. Does anybody know what I have to do??

We are on SQL Server 2000 SP2 version. I have 3 DTS packages that are running successfully every day. We need to change them as the source side tables are going to be changed pretty soon. When I go into the designer view Enterprise Manager hangs when I do any of the following:
1. click on Properties for the transformation task 2. Click on Disconnected Edit 3. Click on Properties of connection 1(IBM DB2/400 Source), properties window pops up, now change the userid/pwd and click ok.
Hi Everybody,I use MS SQL server 2000 enterprise manager on a windows server 2003.I created a new database in enterprise manager, and try to restore the new database from a .bak file. I went to ---->restore database. I checked "from device" and select the right path to the .bak file.Then I click ok, but there is an error pop up." tend to override existing database", so I went to --->option, and checked "force override existing database". then I click ok, but get an error look like this http://ewwa.lo7.net/error.JPGI thought it was a problem with my .bak file. So I try to use another .bak file which I am sure it is 100% good. It prompt the restore is sucessfully. But when I checked the db, there nothing there(No tables).I think there must be something wrong with my enterprise manager's configuration.Do you know what happen with my enterprise manager? Thank you a lot in advance:)!!
I have several clients who are reporting a negative file size on their database devices in Enterprise Manager. The sp_helpdevice procedure reports the size correctly. Any suggestions?
Hello Experts, I am createing one task (user control) in SSIS. I have property grid in my GUI and 2 buttons (OK & Cancle). PropertyGrid has Properties like SourceConnection, OutputConnection etc....right now I am able to populate Connections in list box next to Source and Output Property.
Now my question to you guys is depending on Source Connection it should read that text file associated with connection manager. After validation it should pick header (first line of text file bases on record type) and write it into new file when task is executed. I have following code for your reference. Please let me know I am going in right direction or not.. What should go here ? ->Under Class A
What is the easiest way to accomplish this task with SSIS?
Basically I have a stored procedure that unions multiple queries between databases. I need to be able to export this to a text file on a daily basis and add a total records: row to the end of the text file.
Using SQL 2005. Need to create fixed lenght text file from table. Was able to create the file, but all the data was in one big line. Selected fixed length with field names. How can I get my text file to have field names, fixed lenght with each record on it's only line. Thank you. David
Until SSMS 2012 I copy and paste grid view with header directly to Excel. Problem starts when I try to copy results from SSMS 2012 because text column copy with some format and spreads around sheet and not in only one cell. What do I have to do how to select text columns and how to copy them to excel. IN SSMS 2008 it all works OK.
Anbody please help I am trying to export a text file to a table using enterprise manager and all tasks But the process keeps adding strange charater like squares at the end of each line and also replaces each empty line in the text file with a record in the table with that square type character. I used the following code to delete all rows with that character (as a work around) but no joy. I am losing hope.
I am new to ssis. I try to create a package completely by vb.net to export a table in sql server to text file. i got the following error while i run the package,
An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified". The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "OLEDBSrc" failed with error code 0xC0202009. component "OLE DB Source" (1) failed validation and returned error code 0xC020801C. One or more component failed validation. There were errors during task validation.
i have posted my code below,
Dim pkg As New Package
Dim OLEDBConMgr As ConnectionManager
Dim FileConMgr As ConnectionManager
Dim SrcComponent As IDTSComponentMetaData90
Dim SrcInstance As CManagedComponentWrapper
Dim DesComponent As IDTSComponentMetaData90
Dim DesInstance As CManagedComponentWrapper
pkg.PackageType = DTSPackageType.DTSDesigner90
Dim e As Executable = pkg.Executables.Add("DTS.Pipeline.1")
Dim thMainPipe As TaskHost = e 'as Task Host
Dim DataFlowTask As MainPipe = thMainPipe.InnerObject 'as MainPipe
I got this code from another one of the MSDN forms. When I run the report and try to export using this format, it still gives me a csv file instead of tab delimited file.
Can someone please help me fix this code so I can get tab delimited text files. Thanks a lot, -Rohit
I have a DTS package scheduled to run every day creates a text file on Server A and then moves the text file from Server A to Server B. But recently, the package is moving incomplete text file from Server A to Server B. Not every day. There is no problem in generating the text file.
So far, I verified the memory on Server B - No Probelms. Changed the package so it copies the text file from Server A to Sever B instead of moving, then delete the text file on Server B. - Didn't work out.
Export to Fixed width text file I am trying to export a table to a fixed lenght text file, there is only flat file option and that does not put LF/CR at the end of row, is there any solution?
When using DTS (in SQL 7) to export via OLE DB a large varchar to a text file, it clips it at 255 chars. No other data access drivers seem to work, either. This is lame! I cannot use bcp as a work around, because i want to use quoted comma-delimited, which it doesn't support, and I am using query-based export, where the query calls a stored proc, which bcp also doesn't support.
Are there any new versions of MDAC that fix this? Anyone know a workaround? My current hack fix is to split my field into 2, but this is a grubby fix that hassles my reciptients.
This is a pretty fundamental limitation to a major product!
Hi, I need to export data from SQL server 2000 database into text file uisng ç Delimited. Because my destination database will be teradata. Could you let me know if you have any method for this. Thanks
I need to export data from a table to a text file, where the data in the table is deleted after written to the file. It is simple using DTS, but I want to do the export in "chunks" of data, committing the delete say after every 1000 rows.
My thought was a stored procedure would be easy enough to do this (done these in Oracle many times), but I don't know the quickest way to export a row of data from a stored procedure to a text file. Isn't using a command-line shell too slow? What are my options?
Hello, I'm beginner in SQL and I would like to do a simple thing : Extract data from different table to a text file.

Dear MSSQL- experts,I have a strange problem with SQLSERVER 2000.I tried to export a table of about 40000 lines into a text file usingthe Enterprise managerexport assitant. I was astonished to get an exported text file of about400 MB instead 16 MB which is the normal size of that data.By examining this file with a text editor I found that the fileincluded alongside the data of my table MANY zeros which caused the bigfile size.Does someone of you have an idea what could cause the export oftrillions zeros into my textfile and how to only export the significantdata of my table ?Best regards,Daniel
Hello,We have a query which returns ~2.8 million rows. This same query isused in a DTS package, which exports to a text file. The number ofrows in this text file, however, is ~2.7 million rows (I'm rounding ofcourse.) So a good chunk of data vanished in the export it appears.Using SQL Server 7.0 on Windows 2000.Anyone see bugs w/ DTS text exports for very large amounts of data?Thanks,DF"Never eat more than you can lift."
