Qualifier In URL Access Not Working
Aug 3, 2005Hi,
View 5 RepliesHi,
View 5 RepliesI have installed Standard SQL 2005. I have a problem to import text file in db because of text qualifier {"} not working.
Does anyone have the same problem? Is it a problem in my installation?
Thanks for ant comments.

I have this query:
SELECT Tabelle1.Feld1 AS a1, [Feld2]+1 AS a2, [a1]+[a2] AS Ausdr1
FROM Tabelle1;
It runs perfectly on a Access database but not on a SQL 7.0 server. Can anyone give me a idea on how to convert this?

hi guys, my prblem is that I cannot update sql query against MS ACCESS using C#. Everytime wen i do so, i got an exception (at runtime) as 'UPDATE syntax not correct'. I don find any error in my 'update' syntax.
I can successfully run other dbase operations like insertion, deletion & all.; except Updation.
But, i can successfully run the same update query in the 'sql query tab' of MS ACCESS, and is executed successfully.
I'm using VS.NET 2005 & MS ACCESS 2003.
please help me...its urgent.
i'm including the code below :
*****************************************************************
string provider = "Provider = Microsoft.Jet.OleDb.4.0; Data Source = db1.mdb;";
string sql = "update Table1 set Password = 'modify' where ID = 'abhi'";
try
{
OleDbConnection oc = new OleDbConnection(provider);
OleDbCommand od = new OleDbCommand(sql, oc);
oc.Open();
od.ExecuteNonQuery();
oc.Close();
}
catch (Exception exp)
{
return exp.Message;
}
*****************************************************************
My table contains two field : "ID" & "Password", both are of String type.
*****************************************************************
thanks in advance
Hi,
Using SSIS, I am importing the data of a text file into a sql server table.
After the import, I Can not figure out why the texts inside the sql server have double quotes around them. This is similar to the data inside the text file. For example, the value "Simpsons" appears with the "" as you can see whereas I want it to appear without the "" inside the sql server table.
In the connection manager, the file connection has a text qualifier of <None>
Thanks
okay so i have query which sure does run fine if i drop it into a SQL server's console. however i try and put this into ACCESS so the accounting department can use it and it returns no values.
not sure if i should drop in the vb forum or what but im about to build a page in c# and have them get it that way.
Any one have any suggestions
Code:
select Doc.Dat, Doc.DocNo, Doc.IdPers, Pos.ItemNo, Pos.[Description], Pos.Quantity, Pos.SinglePrice, Pos.Discount from Pos, Doc where Doc.Dat like '%2005%' AND IdPers = (select IdPers from Pers where match = 'Aec One Stop Group, Inc.') AND Pos.IdDoc in ( select idDoc from Doc where Type = 8 ) ORDER by Dat, DocNo DESC
Hi
How can I import txt files, in which data sometimes can contain
the letter that is used as text qualifier
Example txt file: 'abc',123, 'john's',12
Here the word -john's- contains the same letter as the text qualifier I have to use.
Can it be true, that this can't be done i MS SQL, when it can be done in MS Excel, Paradox etc..

Hi all,
I'm trying to use DTS to import a space delimited file. One column uses " as a text qualifier so I set this in the options. The problem arises when a " shows up between the 2 text qualifiers. It's seen as a set of qualifiers with a 2nd qualifier with no end. I obviously get an error at this point. Anyone have any good advice on how to squash this one?
We have purchased an ERP system from a vendor which uses system DSN for all the reports. The system automatically creates DSN with Sa with SQL Server. The problem is the DSN is not working with AD users.
Active Directory server: Windows Server 2008 32 Bit.
SQL Server: Windows Server 2012 64 Bit. This server is already member of my Domain. e.g. CompDomain.com
What should I need to do in client PCs or Server to avail ODBC to AD users.
I was trying to migrate an ASP application from Access to SQL Server 2005 express, and found surprisingly that some code stops working which would seem to be independent of the data source. For example:
qtext = "SELECT MainText, TextType FROM MessageText WHERE [etc. etc. -- the query is OK]"
rsMain.open qtext, dbcon, , , adCmdText
if not (rsMain.BOF and rsMain.EOF) then
rsMain.MoveFirst
do while not rsMain.EOF
select case rsMain.fields(1).value
case 1
session("headline") = rsMain.fields(0).value
case 2
introtext = rsMain.fields(0).value
case 6
helptext = rsMain.fields(0).value
end select
rsMain.MoveNext
loop
end if
rsMain.Close
"rsMain" is an ADO recorset which defaults to a forward-only cursor as opened above; dbcon is an ADO database connection. Nothing fancy; and it has been working for years as expected with Access. But the recordset seems to behave differently when SQL Server is the data source (even though the whole point of ADO is to provide a level of abstraction, and I expected it not to change.) In the code above, checking the value of "rsMain.Fields(1).value" causes "rsMain.Fields(0).value" to disappear or become inaccessible. As a simple debug exercise, I tried response.writing "rsMain.Fields(0).value", a block of text, prior to the select case block, and it works fine once (as long as rsMain.Fields(1).value has not been accessed), but then a second write comes up empty.
Is it reasonable to expect that ADO recordsets and cursors function differently if SQL server is the data source vs. Access? Is this documented anywhere?
I have just run an MDX query which returns a result set within Excel 2013. The column names are in the following format; -
[Dimension Name].[Hierarchy Name].[Attribute Name].[MEMBER CAPTION].
Where I just simply want the attribute name on it's own and simply the measure name for the measures.
Hello there,
I have created a package which will copy rows from csv file to SQL database. I have a field into the csv file which contains numeric data. and I am keeping this into the database as numeric too. for example, a column into the csv named "amount" needs to be transfer into the data table where the corresponding column name is "amount" and its data type is numeric and the field can contain null values. I am using the double quote(") text qualifier on to the csv file. Now my problem is, some rows into the csv file contains null values for amount column. for example..lets take a look on my csv file content...
"Name", "Salary"
"Jhon Stuart", "35.66"
"Maria Gree", ""
Notice the second row of the csv where the Salary value has left as an empty string. Now my intention is to import these data into the database and the salary value for Maria should be remain as null. But the package is generating an error for this row. it says..
There was an error with input column "Salary" (61) on input "OleDB Destination Input (47)" . The column status returned was : The value could not be converted because of potential loss of data.
Can any body help me on this? What would be the solution for this? if I modify the row into csv file as following
"Maria Gree", "0.00"
then it works. But I dont want to fill the field with zero into the DB. I want it would be set with NULL value..which make sense.
Any Idea?
Thanks in advance.
I have created an SSIS package, in my VS2005 solution, that Bulk Inserts a CSV file (see example below)
"100",2006-10-03 00:00:00,"HEX012",1"101",2006-10-03 00:00:00,"DS00130",1
I have a Bulk Insert Task that uses a Flat File Connection Manager to import my CSV file into my SQL2005 database.
My source CSV file (see example above), has double quatation marks surrounding any text fileds.
I have set the Flat File Connection Manager's 'Text Qualifier' to double quatation marks.
The Bulk Insert works ok, but ignores the Text Qualifier.
My database table is left with the original quatation marks in any text field.
Any help appreciated.
Regards,
Paul.
I'm exporting using a query to a flat .txt file. The problem I'm encountering is when I export the data and then open the .txt file into excel some columns cause line breaks to the next row. The columns that are breaking to a new row are varchar fields where the user has entered text into the field with double quotes ".
When I export, I'm using row delimiter {CR}{LF} column delimiter Comma and text qualifier Double Quote (")
Is there a way to prevent this from happening when I export and open the flat file into Excel?
I tried using replace, but I was getting a syntax error in my query. Here is the query without using replace:
SELECT e.session_date, l.lab_no, i.first_name + ' ' + i.last_name AS Teacher,
tt.name, d.district_name, s.school_name, t.title, a.q1 AS Question1, a.q2 AS Question2,
a.q3 AS Question3, a.q4 AS Question4, a.q5 AS Question5, a.q6 AS Question6, a.q7 AS Question7,
a.q8 AS Question8, a.q9 AS Question9, a.q10 AS Question10
FROM evaluation e
LEFT OUTER JOIN training t ON t.id = e.training
LEFT OUTER JOIN lab l ON l.id = e.lab_no
LEFT OUTER JOIN instructor i ON i.id = e.instructor
LEFT OUTER JOIN trainee tt ON tt.id = e.trainee
LEFT OUTER JOIN district d ON d.id = e.district
LEFT OUTER JOIN school s ON s.id = e.school
LEFT OUTER JOIN answers a ON a.id = e.answers
WHERE session_date >= '20070401' AND session_date < '20070501'
I would need to use the replace on columns a.q7, a.q8, a.q9, and a.q10
I tried using another delimiter...pipes (|) and that didn't work? Maybe I was attempting it incorrectly?
Thanks in advance for any help.
I've discovered an issue with the text qualifier field in the file connection manager when upgrading a SSIS 2005/2008 package from a 32 bit platform to 64 bit platform runninn SQL Server 2008 R2 10.5.1600.
The package will convert <none> in this field to _x003C_none_x003E and therefore any package using the file connection manager i.e. import/export - common tasks on SSIS! will cause problems either with output data or imported data.
Simply replacing _x003C_none_x003E with <none> fixes the issue but ofcourse there can be many packages affected as a result.
Any existing/impending cumulative update for SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard that will fix the problem?double quote delimiters are converted to _x0022_ which I am assume by replacing with a double quote will fix the problem.
I am working on SSIS Packages. I have raw files in which data is in text qualifier.
When I am trying to load files into database it's throwing me error when there is no values in text qualifier.
For Example. "Others","0","0"," "," "
If I have the value above in raw files. SSIS Package throwing me error in " " this column.
Saying Data Conversion failed.
Hi,
I am creating reports for an application, that when installed can have various different table owners/qualifiers depending on how client created the DB. How can I create standard reports across all the DB without hardcoding the tablenames qualifier/owner in the dataset query? Again the table structure remain the same just the qualifiers may be different. Any help would be great.
--DCB
Unlike SQL Server 2000 DTS, SSIS Flat File Connection Manager Editor does not provide available list of Text qualifier,
i tried
-- ""
-- double quote {"}
-- "
--{"}
but none of them worked....!
My file sample looks like this
"Col1","Col2"
"1234","3456"
"3456","1234"
what qualifier should I use then?
Many Thanks,
I have made a package that reads a text file into a table.
The data in the file is roughly as follows.
1, "a", "b,c,ddddd", 4, "ee", 0 with the column sizes int, 1, 50, int, 2, int
On all the desktop Bids environments and a SQL 2005 instance on windows server 2000 the package runs fine.
on the 2 Windows server 2003/SQL 2005 machines a truncation error occurs on col 5.
What is happening is on these machines the text qualifier is being ignored and column 5 is reading as ddddd instead of ee!
I figured this out by changing all fields to text and seeing what came out of the other end.
It is very, very strange and I've hit a brick wall.
If Anyone has any ideas throw them in the mixer please?
Cheers,
Steve
i am unable to use the Text Qualifer in SSIS package Flat file connection manager Editor, it says, "The flat file parser does not support embedding text qualifier in data",why is that?
it was supported nicely in DTS 2000. also I have no control on Source file TXT. so I can not eliminate the Text qualifer (") from the file.
any advices.
We have a flat file import proces which imports data from a series of unicode flat files.
The files have text qualifiers and are being imported to a table with the following format:
CREATE TABLE [dsa].[OBS](
[Kundenummer] [nvarchar](10) NULL,
[Navn] [nvarchar](60) NULL,
[Adresse] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[PostnrBynavn] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[Kursusdato] [datetime] NULL,
[Varighed] [decimal](18, 2) NULL,
[Kursustype] [nvarchar](100) NULL,
[Risikokoder] [nvarchar](50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
In one of our files we have two rows that looks like this:
"19298529";"THIS IS ROW 1";"ADDRESS 9 -13";"4200 SLAGELSE";"02-05-2006";8.00;"Kombikursus Førstehjælp - Brand 8 lek.";"37"
"19448242";"THIS IS ROW 2";"ADDRESS 50";"4140 BORUP";"04-05-2006";4.00;""Fra vil selv - til kan selv". Om børn 1½ - 3 Ã¥r";"22"
Both rows are OK according to the format, but the second row actually contains the text qualifier in one of the qualified fields (""Fra vil selv - til kan selv". Om børn 1½ - 3 Ã¥r"). It's the title of a course with a comment.
The proces fails on this file, and wont even redirect the row, as it does on other erroneous rows in other files we import.
We believe this is a valid text, but apparently SSIS doesn't
Is this a bug or is this record not allowed?
Is there a work around, and why wont SSIS redirect the row?
We believe the reason is that the field before is not text quaified (which is of course specified in the connection manager).
Thanks in advance,
Lasse
I have scoured the Microsoft forums and the internet to find out how I can generate the output of a CSV report that has double quotes around each value and is comma separated as follows:
"Abcd","123456","Efghi","789012","JKLMN"
If I try to concatenate double quotes around the values in the stored procedure or in the RDL, two double quotes appear around each value as follows.Â
""Abcd"",""123456"",""Efghi"",""789012"",""JKLMN""
I understand that this is because the default qualifier is double quote.  What I see is that every time a double quote appears in a value (along with commas and line breaks), the qualifier will activate. Is there any way to turn this off for double quotes?Â
If I try to enter: <Qualifier>false</Qualifier>, the word "false" appears as the qualifier instead.
The only way I have found that produces a result similar to what I need ("Abcd","123456","Efghi","789012","JKLMN") is if I add a line break - chr(10) in the RDL in each field. However, this won't work for me because I can't have line breaks in each field in the output.Â
Note that in SSRS 2005, I was able to produce the report output as IÂ state above by setting the field delimiter and qualifier as follows:
<FieldDelimiter>@?!?@</FieldDelimiter>
<Qualifier>?#^?</Qualifier>
This essentially turned the field delimiter and qualifier off, as the values entered would never appear in the data. I then could add double quotes and commas in the RDL.  This used to work in the old version but does not anymore.

I have text data files from a third party and they use comma as field delimiters and enclose the text for each column in double-quotes. Not a problem for most of the data files until they start sending files where there is " within the column values. SSIS package fails with the error:
The column delimiter for column "Column 1" was not found.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated.Thankspcp
In SQL 2005 if i was trying to insert some data with a text qualifier inside a text qualified field, it would work, for example:
"Name","ID ","Location","","Comany",""House Name" Road",
In SQL 2012, this fails with the error message, cannot find the text qualifer for field.
To get around this, we are having to import the data into a Dirty Data column of aTEMP table, ID, Dirty Data, Clean data - perform multiple updates and change the text qualifier and ensure they are only changed in the right places so we can keep the ". In this example, we changed the text qualifier to PIPES.
After these updates, we then export the data from CLEAN data back out to CSV, then reimport it into the origional destination table with a new text qualifer.

I had a view in which I did something like this
isnull(fld,val) as 'alias'
when I assign a value to this in the client (vb 6.0) it works ok in sql2000 but fails in 2005.
When I change the query to fld as 'alias' then it works ok in sql 2005 .
why ?? I still have sql 2000 (8.0) compatability.
Also some queries which are pretty badly written run on sql 2000 but dont run at all in sql 2005 ???
any clues or answers ?? it is some configuration issue ?
Thanks in advance.
I am writing a pgm that attaches to a SQL Server database. I have an Add stored procedure and an Update stored procedure. The two are almost identical, except for a couple parameters. However, the Add function works and the Update does not. Can anyone see why? I can't seem to find what the problem is...
This was my test:
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("pContact_Update", cn)
'Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("pContact_Add", cn)
Try
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
cmd.Parameters.Add("@UserId", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = UserId
cmd.Parameters.Add("@FirstName", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = TextBox1.Text
[...etc more parameters...]
cmd.Parameters.Add("@Id", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ContactId
cn.Open()
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Label1.Text = "done"
cn.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
Label1.Text = ex.Message
End Try
When I use the Add procedure, a record is added correctly and I receive the "done" message. When I use the Update procedure, the record is not updated, but I still receive the "done" message.
I have looked at the stored procedures and the syntax is correct according to SQL Server.
Please I would appreciate any advice...

I have recently upgraded to SQL2014 on Win2012. The Access front end program works fine.
But, previously created Excel reports with built in MS Queries now fail with the above error for users with MS 2013. The queries still work for users still using MS 2007.Â
I also cannot create any new queries and get the same error message. If I log on as myself on the domain to another PC with 2007 installed it works fine, so I don't think it is anything to do with AD groups or permissions.
We need to insert data/rows from a SQL Server 2014 database into MS Access database. The problem is, there are so many columns (100+) in the table and there are so many insert transactions of this kind (from different tables) that it is not very easy to write the code in VB.NET that lists all column names.
Both the Access and SQL Server tables have the same number of columns and the equivalent data types, so inserting is not really the problem. It's just that is there a way to do an insert statement in T-SQL that does not name all the columns?
