I'm trying to take a CSV flat file as a source, and load it into a SQL database.
The problem is the CSV file contains name data that is separated by commas as well.
For example a record could be:
12334, "Male", 154, "Doe, John", 09071980
so it should be split into 5 columns, but the flat file editor in SSIS reads the comma within quoted "Doe, John" and splits that into columns as well, so the SQL insert fails as there are 6 columns instead of 5. How do I get it to treat data within quotes as a single field?
I want to use DTS to load from a flat file. But I can't be sure whenthe flat file will arrive. I would like the job to check every 10minutes or so for a couple of hours. If the file is present, then loadthe file and rename it so that it doesn't get overwritten. Anysuggestions?TIA,amorphous999
I am familiar with the MySQL Load Data command to load an external ascii file into a database table, but am having trouble finding a T-Sql command that is equivalent without creating an executable...any help would be appreciated...
While loading the flat file into sql server2005 using SSIS , i am getting error like:
[Source - 20070801PensionPayments_dat [1]] Error: The "output column "Status" (246)" failed because truncation occurred, and the truncation row disposition on "output column "Status" (246)" specifies failure on truncation. A truncation error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
In the EM import wizard, i can see last column [][](blank space similar box type). because of that i unable to load data into table. The delimiter is fixed width.
We did the development of SSIS packges on 32 bit machine. We have few excel files which is loaded using SSIS. Now the same was deployed to anothe rmachine(64 bit). This 64-bit machine does not have Microsoft office installed. And all packages(which loads excel files) failed. Hence can someone answer my following questions:-
1) In order to load excel files using SSIS, is it necessary that Microsoft excel software should be installed on that machine?
2) If answer to above is yes, Can Microsoft excel viewer be used instead of Microsoft office(excel)?
I am so new to SQL Server 2005 and just studying. Saying that... We use SQL Server 2005 Express edition. Some one sent me a file (info.mdb) and asked me to load the data in this file in to a table called Products and also asked me to load in another table (ProdCat) where id = 'X05'. So being not knowing anyting regarding data loading etc, how should I do this and proceed? The .mdb means its a Access database file? If that is the case, I dont have Access in my machine and what should I do?
Help! Surely this has happened to others before me. A new customer wants to send updates in a fixed-width txt file in which master and detail rows alternate.
How do you do this?
Do you: 1) Painfully muck around with 100,000 rows in the .txt file first--split it into 2 files, one for master records and one for detail records and then process? If so, what do you use? I'd probably hack at it with a VB Script module in a DTS package.
or
2) Is there a way to feed it into 2 tables where rows starting with x go to one table and rows starting with y go to another?
The plan was to use a fast and dirty DTS package to shove this stuff into a table (probably 2 but we might just toss the stuff we don't need and put in in one) but I'd like some advice on how to proceed.
I have number of csv files in a folder, all of them with same columns, need to be merged into one table and imported to sql server.
-The first row of the csv file is a header. -The csv files are updated everyday -The destination table is replace by new table with new info in the csv. -The new csv files can be created and old csv files may no longer exist, but we are only interested in information contain in current csv files in the folder. -I need SSIS to combine all the csv files in the folder and merge into one table. -Other issue is that the field names may change in csv, so can the SSIS package recognize the change in field name and made necessary change in destination table as well.
Any insight on this issues will be greatly appreciated?
I am facing a peculier problem. Problem definition goes like this,
I have one staging DB in which all the tables resides in Primary file and one production DB in which tables resides in 2 secondary files.
Now when iam trying to load the data from the table A in staging which is on primary file to the table A1 in production DB which in secondary file, all the data are going to error log instead of table A1.
Dynamically load a flat file from a dynamic source table-
The source table metadata is known via the SYSOBJECTS and SYSCOLUMNS tables- I can pull the column names, type and lengths from these tables based on the table name. (my goal is pretty simple- pull data from a table in our database, and save it down to a flat file)
Would this be enough to dynamically create the destination flat file? If so, how do I do it?
Hello, I deployed an SSIS project to my SQL Server. The project I deployed contained two packages. One called the other. After deployment I notice that both packages are indeed in the SQL Server. However when I try to run it I get the error below. This error happens during the "Execute Package Task" and the path the error is pointing at is my local development path, not the one it was deployed to. Is there any way to fix the path? And how can I get it to deploy both packages so it knows where they are when I run it from the server?

I have a text file that loads just fine with DTS 2000, but in SSIS it does not seems to recognize the row delimiter. For example, most rows in the text file have 10 columns, but some have 8 columns. For those with 8 columns, the SSIS is adding the data from next row, not padding the columns with nulls. Please help...
I can run this example from SQL Book Online from sql query analyzer. I can build the TestDB database.
BACKUP DATABASE Northwind TO DISK = 'c:Northwind.bak' RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = 'c:Northwind.bak' RESTORE DATABASE TestDB FROM DISK = 'c:Northwind.bak' WITH MOVE 'Northwind' TO 'c: est estdb.mdf', MOVE 'Northwind_log' TO 'c: est estdb.ldf' GO
But... When I build stored procedure and call it through VB6. I've got the gray database symbol along with message TestDB (Loading/Suspecting) Why I cannot run these commands through VB6
Designing a solution for loading data into SQL destination from a single 5/10 GB flat file? If yes, what kind of performance measures you have taken while designing the solution ?
I have a csv file with 1.8 million records. Few of the text columns in each row has commas(,) in them and hence those columns are enclosed by " ".
An example record would look like: 123,abc,"abc, city, state",222,...
Now, the 3rd column should be read as: abc, city, state But, it is reading ("abc) into 3rd column, and (city) into 4th column and (state") into 4th column resulting in data errors.
Is there a way to specify that fields are optionally enclosed by " as we do in Oracle?
Hi.I need to give my customer an sql file that they can run in query analyzer.All the stuff they need to run is in a set of existing files.I'd like to just tell them to load this file (this is oracle syntax):@file1.sql@file2.sql@file3.sqlis there some way of calling these files (that are in the same dir) from amaster sql file?ThanksJeff Kish
I tried to load a fixed width flat file with around 300,000 rows. However, only the first 8xxxx rows were loaded to the destineation table and the rest row were loading blank records. There was no error message showing during package execution. I've tried to split the file in half and the result was the same. So it wasn't the data file problem.
Would there be any buffering issue I need to cater for inside the package? Thanks!
I have just loaded SQL Server 2005 SP1 and it is playing havoc with any SSIS packages that use the File System Task.
I am using the FST to copy a file to a directory after it has been loaded. This worked fine prior to SQ1 but now I am getting the following error if there are one or more files already in the target directory:
[File System Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "The directory is not empty. ".
If I remove all files from the directory it works fine.
Has anyone come across this problem and got a workaround for this? Will it involve me writing a FSO script task???
I 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.

I have SSIS package which loads excel data in SQL server. Now when I execute the package by double clicking it(GUI Utility for Dtexec) or by running it in SSIS Editor it works great. However if I run it using the command line dtexec.exe then following error arises. Note that machine on which I am executing does not have Microsoft Office installed and is 64 bit.

Each month we process 100+ text files into our ERP system. Occasionaly the Voucher Date in the text file does not contain a valid date. I would like to check to see if it is a valid Date, if it isn't replace it with the current date.
I thought I would use a Derived Column transformation, but I don't know how to check a field to see if it is a valid date.
I have a problem loading data from a flat file into a DB2 Dtabase by using the OLE DB Provider for DB2.

I dont know waht those error codes meanand I tried so many things already. The tables in the database are created correctly and also, SSIS can read the data from the database if I use the preview function, but somehow, the program never starts to write data into the database for some reason. Can anyone help me???
I am trying to load a file using SSIS that contains records with two different layouts in one data file but in the flat file connection I can only specify one layout and this is causing the records with the second layout to be loaded incorrectly.
The different record layouts can be identified by the first character of the record. Example: If Field begins with "A" then assign one layout; "B" assign second layout.
Has anybody come accross this issue, if so some guidence would be appreciated.

can anyone help me to solve this problem i have created a ssis package to load the data from excel file to the table, but we are getting the data in different language ie in french,english and in china after loading the data when we view the data it is showing as junk characters for chinese data but we are able to see other language data ie french and english. so please tell me how to solve that reply to my mail id(sandeep_shetty@mindtree.com)
I have a directory with images and a table in my DB with the path of each file. The main application allow me to create reports where I can display an image, so I was thinking to use a query like:
SELECT [ID] ,[PT_CODE] ,[FILE_PATH], CASE WHEN [FILE_PATH] IS NOT NULL THEN (SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK [FILE_PATH], SINGLE_BLOB) TT) END AS IMAGE_LOADED FROM [DB].[dbo].[TABLE_MR_FILES]But I keep getting the error:
Incorrect syntax near 'FILE_PATH'.I have try multiple combinations without luck to make the OPENROWSET read the path stored in the column [FILE_PATH]. What am I missing?
Note: I am using MSSQL 2012. I don't want to import the images into the DB just load them in the fly as needed by the report runned from the application. I have full access to the DB so if a store procedure is the solution I can go with it.
