Hi, I've a question about importing Oracle data and some fields are null. I get an error 'Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type'. When i look in preview query result, via OLE db Source editor > Preview, this field contains '<value too big to display>'.
What do i do wrong? Can somebody help me?
Thanks in advance

I am using Import and Export wizard and seeing a very weird behaviour.
I am able to choose 'Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oralce' and provide server name, username/ password. The test connection results in a success. However when I try to move to next window/page by clicking next I get invalid oracle error ora-01017 - invalid username/ password.
what is going on here?
I have a column in an Oracle source system with data type NUMBER(38,2). The value "-0.01" is causing problems when trying to import into a SSIS data-flow.
The only way I can import this into my data-flow is by using a Datareader connection manager using the ODBC Data Provider. My DSN is using the Oracle ODBC driver.
If I try and use the "Native OLE DBMicrosoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle" I get an error: "The data value cannot be converted for reasons other than sign mismatch or data overflow"
Judging by this post: http://microsoftdw.blogspot.com/2005/11/final-storyhow-to-get-data-out-of.html there aren't really any other combinations to try that will bring my data in as I want it.
I don't want to use ODBC though as:
Its an old technology
Its slow
I have to deploy an additional DSN.
Can anyone tell me why the other options don't work? Why does Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle have a problem with "-0.01"?

Does anyone know how to import data from an Oracle view (on Unix machine) to the tables in NT/SQL server 7.0? At least point me to the right docoment resource, if available. Thanks a lot.

We will need to routinely import only changed data from an Oracle data base into a SQL database.
So we need an agent that will
1) Compare data in both databases (From disparate tables)
2) Import only that which is changes or new.
I am new to SQL server administration and am looking for a best practice method that we can be run on a weekly basis.
I am open to using third party software solutions, but would prefer a native MS SQL 2000 solution.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
Hello friends,
I am working for a project. At my college I used to work with oracle. Now as requirement changes I have to change my database to SQL Server.
Is there any simple way one can suggest me?
I'm using - Destination - Oracle driver - oraOLEDB.Oracle.1 (native ole dboracle provider for ole db)
Source - SQL driver - microsoft ole db prover for sql server. I want to import data from sql server to oracle. Challenge is, I have 1 million records on oracle. I have 100 records on sql server (these 100 records count will change daily). So, I thought of using 'lookup' task looking taking record from ms sql and fetch corresponding record from oracle. But when I use lookup, all records from oracle are loading into cache, which is taking approx 3 hrs.
I am getting this error when connecting to Oracle db. I tried using Microsoft OLEDB provider for Oracle it give me error and tells me the error could not be retrieved from Oracle. When I try the Native OLDDB provider for Oracle I get
Warning at {0F67F2FA-E3F8-4F44-93EC-47D513A34FD4} [Orcale Database WPHP2 [1]]: Cannot retrieve the column code page info from the OLE DB provider. If the component supports the "DefaultCodePage" property, the code page from that property will be used. Change the value of the property if the current string code page values are incorrect. If the component does not support the property, the code page from the component's locale ID will be used.
Error at Copy DSS_SJV_Volume_History [DTS.Pipeline]: The "output column "COMP_UNIQUE_ID" (2007)" has a precision that is not valid. The precision must be between 1 and 38.
What do I do !!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
I am new here, and looking for some help with SQL import.
I am using SQL Server 2000.
Problem: I have a table called 'People', with a field that I wish to populate inside of it (Town).
I already have 500 records in the table.
I have a seperate csv file containing the primary key record (ID) information, and the information that I wish to put into the field (Town).
How can I import the information into the field 'Town' by inserting the correct information next to the ID in the CSV file (There are some that I do not have to import, so I cannot just insert straight in).
Best Regards
I have a excel sheet with some data and blank columns. I have a ssis package using to import data from excel to sql table. For blank excel columns it is importing as null instead i want to show them as '0'. If data comes in it should update the data.
View 8 Replies View RelatedWe have a custom web C#/SQL2K8R2 workflow application that I need to pull Oracle data into a varchar(max) field as an XML DOM document. I have no problem pulling the Oracle data using OLEDB, but I'm not sure how to create the XML DOM doc. Once I get it into the DOM doc, I then need to assign metadata about the XML DOM doc and insert it all into a staging table:
CREATE TABLE [stg].[EtlImports](
[EtlImportId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,

) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]
I will have a separate SSIS package to pull the [XML/File] field and process the data into the workflow tables. Is there a wasy I can use the ADO Record-set Destination task to accomplish this, or do I have to create a custom C# script to create the XML DOM Doc?
Hi,
I am having issues importing data from a text file into a SQL database table using the import wizard in SQL Server 2005.
The text file contains polygon coordinates and a polygon name and looks like this:
"42.2342342,-121.1351398|42.3467984752,-122.2349234, ... ..., 42.1897498174,-122.131983","Polygon Name 1"
"42.2342342,-121.1351398|42.3467984752,-122.2349234, ... ..., 42.1897498174,-122.131983","Polygon Name 2"
and the SQL table looks like this:
polycoordinates varbinary(MAX)
polygonname varchar(50)
The length of the longest polygon coordinates record is about 115,000 characters. I believe the varbinary(MAX) type should hold that data, but SQL throws a truncation error every time I try to import the data.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

I have a datatable : Data_Table and a look up table: Lk_table. Myfield that I
use in Inner Join is defined in both the
data and look table.
So I build my query like this:
SELECT * FROM dbo. Data_Table INNER JOIN
dbo. Lk_table ON dbo.Data_Table.MyField = dbo.Lk_table.Myfield
The pb, sometimes I
have myfield still with its default null value in the datatable: Data_Table.
So, I end up getting 0 record when I execute the query shown above.
How do I turn that around so that even if myfield in Data_Table
is Null, I still get the records from Data_Table. (I don t want a set of
records including all possible values from the look up table: Lk_Table)
I have a checkbox on my webform that is bound to a bit field in my SQL table. I'm fine as long as I've got the bit field set to 0 or 1, but if the field is NULL, the checkbox throws an exception during the databind.
Is there any way to handle this without removing the data binding and manually setting the value (ie: some way to intercept it before the exception gets thrown and then setting the field value in the dataset)?
Thanks!
I have used DTS in SQL Server 2000 to import an MDB filed (MS ACCESS) of a table. When the table is imported the primary key is lost and the memo field data is completely gone.
I use the tranformation option in the DTS wizard to add the primary key and make sure the data type for the memo field is varchar and has a size of 8000. I need that large size since I am storing lots of html code.
When I preview the data I see the html code that is supposed to get imported. However, when I return all rows from the table in Enterprise Manager the field is empty.
So I tried to manually copy the data from the MS Access Database into SQL Server. Could not figure out if SQL Server has an interface like MS Access to simply copy data into a table. So I linked to the tables from MS Access to the SQL Server table.
When I opened the linked table I see the data in the description field. However, if I return the rows from within SQL Server no data is present.
I have some ASP code trying to read the data in the SQL Server table. However, nothing is returned and when I run the SQL Statement, nothing gets returned. The SQL statement returns all rows. All the other data is present but nothing in the description field.
What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions anyone, please!
TIA
I need to pass in null/blank value in the date field or declare the field as string and convert date back to string.
I tried the 2nd option but I am having trouble converting the two digits of the recordset (rs_get_msp_info(2), 1, 2))) into a four digit yr. But it will only the yr in two digits.
The mfg_start_date is delcared as a string variable
mfg_start_date = CStr(CDate(Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 3, 2) & "/" & Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 5, 2) & "/" & Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 1, 2)))
option 1
I will have to declare the mfg_start_date as date but I need to send in a blank value for this variable in the stored procedure. It won't accept a null or blank value.
With refresh_shipping_sched
.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
.CommandText = "spRefresh_shipping_sched"
.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("ret_val", adInteger, adParamReturnValue)
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@option", adInteger, adParamInput, 4, update_option)
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@mfg_ord_num", adChar, adParamInput, mfg_ord_num_length, "")
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@mfg_start_date", adChar, adParamInput, 10, "")
Set rs_refresh_shipping_sched = .Execute
End
Please help
Hi All,
I have become frustrated and I am not finding the answers I expect.
Here's the gist, we support both Oracle and SQL for our product and we would like to migrate our Clients who are willing/requesting to go from Oracle to SQL. Seems easy enough.
So, I create a Database in SQL 2005, right click and select "Import Data", Source is Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle and I setup my connection. so far so good.
I create my Destination for SQL Native Client to the Database that I plan on importing into. Still good
Next, I select "Copy data from one or more tables or views". I move on to the next screen and select all of the Objects from a Schema. These are Tables that only relate to our application or in other words, nothing Oracle System wise.
When I get to the end it progresses to about 20% and then throws this error about 300 or so times:
Could not connect source component.
Warning 0x80202066: Source - AM_ALERTS [1]: Cannot retrieve the column code page info from the OLE DB provider. If the component supports the "DefaultCodePage" property, the code page from that property will be used. Change the value of the property if the current string code page values are incorrect. If the component does not support the property, the code page from the component's locale ID will be used.
So, I'm thinking "Alright, we can search on this error and I'm sure there's an easy fix." I do some checking and indeed find out that there is a property setting called "AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage" in the OLEDB Data Source Properties. Great! I go back and look at the connection in the Import and .... there's nothing with that property!
Back to the drawing board. I Create a new SSIS package and figure out quickly that the AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage is in there. I can transfter information from the Oracle Source Table to the SQL Server 2005 Destination Table, but it appears to be a one to one thing. Programming this, if I get it to work at all, will take me about 150 hours or so.
This make perfect sense if all you are doing is copying a few columns or maybe one or two objects, but I am talking about 600 + objects with upwards of 2 million rows of data in each!!
This generates 2 questions:
1. If the Import Data Wizard cannot handle this operation on the fly, then why can't the AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage property be shown as part of the connection
2. How do I create and SSIS Package that will copy all of the data from Oracle to SQL Server? The source tables have been created and have the same Schema and Object Names as the Source. I don't want to create a Data Flow Task 600 times.
Help!!!
i am using sql server express edition.
i need to import (or make copies) on a weekly/daily basis, of several oracle tables into a new adp database.
what is the fastest option? some of these tables hold over 1m records.
so ideally i would like to schedule a refresh or update job outside busy hours.
I have heard of "linked servers" and "dts", but would like some experts advice before starting looking into this.
many thanks

Hi All,
I'm trying to import from Oracle Rdb database into SQL server 2005 via ODBC without much success.
I've installed the correct Oracle Rdb driver and verified it all works ok by importing in to Access.
Using the import wizard within SQL mgt studio and the following connection strings I get a password error
Dsn=XRS;Driver={Oracle RDB Driver};sid=system
TITLE: SQL Server Import and Export Wizard
------------------------------
The operation could not be completed.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
ERROR [HY000] [Oracle][ODBC][Rdb]%SQLSRV-F-GETACCINF, Oracle SQL/Services authorization failed
ERROR [HY000] [Oracle][ODBC][Rdb]%SQLSRV-F-GETACCINF, Oracle SQL/Services authorization failed
------------------------------
BUTTONS:
OK
------------------------------
I know the username/password combination to be correct.
Is SSIS the way to go. I've had a quick look at this and setup the ODBC connection but the column
mappings box reports the following...
error at data flow task [datareader source[1]; cannot aquire a managed connection
from the run-time connection manager.
Anyone point me towards any examples of reading in data via ODBC and storing in a SQL server database.
Should point out that the source is not Oracle RDBMS (7,8 or 9) but Oracle Rdb which is a
completely seperate product.
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I recently encountered what will appear to me as a very strange problem with my packages involving data import from an Oracle 10g database. The packages are simple data imports which select and insert data from Oracle to SQLServer 2005 tables.
Till recently, the packages ran without any problems but a day ago, these packages starts to fail when nothing was changed in them. They will run for about 8 minutes, at which approximately 400,000 records will be selected and processed. After that these packages will fail. The failure rate is inconsistent in the sense that some of these packages will fail while some will pass, depending on the 'mood' of SSIS.
These packages are using Oracle's supplied OLE DB drivers and have been running well since day 1. Should I be concerned with Oracle terminating connection after 'x' minutes something like that?
I'm absolutely puzzled with these behavior and will appreciate it if someone can point me to the right direction. This server is a 64 bit server and SQL Server is installed as 64 bit as well.
Thanks in advance!

we recently got a scenario that we need to get the data from oracle tables which is installed on third party servers. we have sqlserver installed on ourservers. so they have created a DBLINK in oracle server to our sqlserver and published the DBLINK name.
what are the next steps that i need to follow on my sqlserver in order to access the oracle tables ?
Looking for a faster method of moving data from SQL to Oracle.
I'm attempting to push a sql table into an oracle table (sql server 2000 oracle 7, 8, and 9). I have no problem doing this with either 'Oracle Provider for OLE DB' or the 'Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle'. None of my data is being transformed so its a straight import. With the hardware I'm using it takes nearly 3 seconds to import 1000 rows. While this isn't too bad, I need to import upwards of 4 million rows and this results in unacceptable time results.
I do have an oracle script that imports the csv files of the tables, but I'm looking for an all inclusive sql solution.
Does anyone know of another method in SQL that I can use to push the data faster?
Now this is the first time i have tried this with SQL 05 I am trying to Import data from an Oracle DB. I have the connection info:
Xtx20xxx = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =urlpart1.part2.part3.com)(PORT = 1521)))(CONNECT_DATA =(SID = Xtx20xxx ))
)
I used the Microsoft OLEDB provider for oracle from the dropdown,
The username and password I have also. I tried to enter in the Xtx20xxx as the server name, clicked "Properties"
put in the username and password I can given and clicked "Test Connection". No matter what I get the infamous ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name error message. I am sure I am missing something obvious here but I have absolutely no clue and all the googling in the world has not given me any help. I do have the Oracle 10g client tools installed on this workstation (running Windows XP Prof SP2 and SQL 2005 STD).
Hi,
I am running SQL Server 2005 and have built a simple SSIS package to import data from an oracle database to my SQL Server 2005 database. When I run it in SSIS, it works and it imports just fine. When I schedule it, it gives me problems. Help!
It might be a problem with Oracle Provider client I installed. Is there a client version I can download and install? the one I downloaded from oracle doesn't work. I bet i did something wrong though.

Im getting the following error when I try to export from Oracle 9i and import into SQL Server 2005 using Oracle and SQL OLE DB Provider's respectively.
Cannot retrieve the column code page infor from the OLE DB Provider. If the component supports the "DefaultCodePage" property, the code page from that property value will be used. Change the value of the property if the current string code page values are incorrect. If the component does not support the property, the code page from the component's locale ID will be used.
I know there is a way to change the property settings for the OLE DB Provider in the Data flow section of the development studio BUT ...
1) Is there a way to change this outside of the development studio?
2) I can't create the package to setup in the studio because even when I uncheck execute immediately and check save package, it still fails and never creates anything.
Any help is much appreciated
Thanks

I'd like to have Oracle's empty string behavior in SQLServer 2k5. Oracle treats an empty string as NULL's.
In PL/SQL can do:
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE TABLE.FIELD IS NULL
... and it'd return rows containing NULL's as well as empty strings.
Can this be done? I couldn't find a setting for it.
Thanx
Peter
Hi All!
I'm writing a custom component in c# for SSIS and I have a problem with AcquireConnection...
I wrote this code:
public override void AcquireConnections(object transaction)
{
if (ComponentMetaData.RuntimeConnectionCollection[0].ConnectionManager != null)
{
ConnectionManager cm = DtsConvert.ToConnectionManager(ComponentMetaData.RuntimeConnectionCollection[0].ConnectionManager);
ConnectionManagerAdoNet cmAdo = cm.InnerObject as ConnectionManagerAdoNet;
if (cmAdo == null)
throw new Exception("The ConnectionManager " + cm.Name + " is not an ADO connection.");
this.conn = cmAdo.AcquireConnection(transaction) as OracleConnection;
}
but the 'conn' is ALWAYS null...
I tried
this.conn = ((IDTSConnectionManagerDatabaseParameters90)cmAdo).GetConnectionForSchema() as OracleConnection;
too, but no result: the 'conn' is null again...
If I use oledbconnection or sqlconnection instead of oracleconnection the method works fine... I really don't understand
could you help me plz?
I am using a Execute SQL Task which takes package variables and passes them to an Oracle SP as parameters:
{call oraclespname(?,?,?)}
where of course the parameters are set up as input parameters on the correct tab in the SQL Task.
Well the data that is being put into the table in Oracle has a CHR(0) or a null appended to the end of it. Of course this makes no sense. Does anyone have an idea of why this is happening or a way to fix it. The data becomes fairly useless as is without doing a RTRIM(data,CHR(0)) on it first which is a work around but kind of a hack.
I am trying to import some csv files into a table. Some of the values are left blank and are supposed to be interpret as null. However, when I try to use the import wizard (via SQL Server Management Studio), the import process errors out. The fields on the table allows null values.
How do I specify the import wizard to interpret blank fields in flat files to be null? It was mentioned somewhere that there might be a checkbox indicating that I can preserve the null values, but I can't find the option anywhere.
Hi,
I do not know if it can be done:
how to import an Oracle dump file into SQL server ?
That dump file contains the content of a table, excported from Oracle.
Is there a way or another to import it to SQLServer 2000 ?
Thanks
Hi,
Please do anyone know a VB 2005 code to export and import SQL server table to Oracle. Thanks.
I have seen this problem posted several times and not seen an applicable solution yet. No offense, the suggestions may have been good for those scenarios, but not this one.
Several (at least 4) Excel Spreadsheets come from a vendor that I need to import to a table. They are uploaded via web to a directory so they can be imported by a scheduled DTS package.
Darren Green's site gave me some good info on how to get this far, btw.
But I cannot overcome the NULL-ifying of Column Headers for Numeric fields when the spreadsheet is imported.
I've tried:
DTSDestination("Yr1") = trim(DTSSource("F7"))
DTSDestination("Yr1") = CHR(34) & trim(DTSSource("F7")) & CHR(34)
DTSDestination("Yr1") = cstr("0" & trim(DTSSource("F7)))
DTSDestination("Yr1") = clng("0" & DTSSource("F7")))
Named ranges, along with any sort of spreadsheet editing is too time consuming.
And since they come from a vendor, having them come to us with the required items in place is not possible.
Even though it seems easy enough, it's a toughy.
Any help would be rewarded with respect and admiration.
Thanks, Mike
Question: Why would I not be able to import an Access 97 table inwhich some records have null values in fields that allow null values?Wouldn't the table's design be imported first, bringing the columns'"allow nulls" attribute with it?I'm dealing with both text and numeric columns. Not all columnscontaining nulls cause an error.Thanks,Bob C.
