Question About Data Import In MS-SQL Server

Jul 20, 2005

Dear All,

I am performing a data import on the SQL server. Due to fact
that I use the excel file as a source. Some of cells in excel are
actually empty, they become NULL fields after importing into the SQL
server. Actually I want these fields are empty string instead of NULL.
Does SQL server has any approach to make these fields to be empty
string instead of NULL when importing?? Or is there any store
procedure exist for converting the fields to empty string?

Thanks for your kind attention.

How To Optimize Data Import With Huge Volumes And Joins Across Data Sources Not All SQL Server Based?

Jun 7, 2006

I need to periodically import a (HUGE) table of data from an external data source (not SQL Server) into SQL Server, with the following scenarios:
Some of the records in the external data source may not exist in SQL.Some of the records in the external data source may have a different value at different imports, but this records are identified univocally by the same primary key in the external datasource and in SQL Server.Some of the records in the external data source may be the same in SQL.

Due to the massive volume of the import, I would like to import only the records which are different from what I have in SQL Server (cases 1 and 2 above). In fact case 2 is the most critical.

I thought of making a query with a left outer join between the data in the external data source table (SOURCE) and the data in the SQL Server table (DESTIN). The join is done on the respective primary keys (composed keys of up to 10 columns) and one of the WHERE conditions will be that the value in SOURCE is different from the value in DESTIN.

The result of this query would be exactly what I need to import.
How to do this in SSIS??? I couldn't figure out how to join tables in different data sources yet.

In fact I cannot write a stored procedure to do that, since one of the sources is in a datasources not SQL Server.
I have seen the Lookup transformation in this article http://www.sqlis.com/default.aspx?311 but this is not exacltly what I want to do.
Another possibility is to use the merge join, but due to the sorting I believe its performances would be terrible!

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Can you please help how I can import data from excel or where can I download the SQL Server Management Studio?

Import CSV Data To SQL Server Database

Sep 21, 2004

Hello everyone,

I need help with a situation that iam facing right now.

Here is the problem:

I have a tab limited or comma delimited CSV file. I want to read the contents of that CSV file and import it in one of the tables in the database.

id firstname lastname
-- ---------- ----------
"1" "John" "Smith"
"2" "Louis" "Garcia"


I assume that the columns in the CSV files and the table in the database match the datatype.

What would be a good approach to do it ? If anyone have a code that does the job, please post it.

I'm Looking To Import Data From SQL Server Into MySQL ...

Mar 28, 2008

problem is I don't have unfettered access to the MS SQL Server(7), so I need to send instructions on how to do it to a client.

After reading up a little, I figured "select view into ##tmp_table", and then dump the table, which, if I'm right, means I'll have an SQL dump that I can quite easily import into MySQL.

Problem,: What's the syntax to dump that temp table, or is there a better way to import the data into MySQL

TIA

Import Some Data From Access To SQL Server

Aug 17, 2004

I have created some DB tables on SQL Server. Now I want to import some data from Access using Data Transformation Services.

The APPLICATION table I have created has the following columns:

AppID, AppName, AppMnem, GripsID, Decommissioned, Last Modified, Modified By

AppID is the primary key and is an identity column with an autoincrement on insert.

The query I used to import the data from Access is:


select `T>Application>General`.`Application Name`, `T>Application>General`.`Application Mnem`, `T>Application>General`.`GripsID`, `T>Application>General`.`Decommissioned`, `T>Application>General`.`Last Modified`, `T>Application>General`.`Modified By`
from `T>Application>General`
where `T>Application>General`.`Application Mnem`='TMS'
order by `T>Application>General`.`Application Mnem`


The transformation I used is:


'************************************************* *********************
' Visual Basic Transformation Script
' Copy each source column to the
' destination column
'************************************************* ***********************

Function Main()
DTSDestination("AppName") = DTSSource("Application Name")
DTSDestination("AppMnem") = DTSSource("Application Mnem")
DTSDestination("GripsID") = DTSSource("GripsID")
DTSDestination("Decommissioned") = DTSSource("Decommissioned")
DTSDestination("Last Modified") = DTSSource("Last Modified")
DTSDestination("Modified By") = DTSSource("Modified By")
Main = DTSTransformStat_OK
End Function


However, I keep gettting the following error:


Error at destination for row number 1. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1.
Instert error, column 1 ('AppID', DBTYPE_I4), status 10: Integrity violation; attempt to insert null data or data which violates constraints.
Unspecified Error


Any ideas as to what the problem is?

Thank in advance

Trying To Import Data From As/400 To Sql Server 2005

Mar 19, 2008

I am trying to import data from our as/400 to SQL server. We have a new server with SQL 2005, data is restored so now I am trying to convert our DTS over to SSIS but I can's seem to get a connection set up that will talk with our as/400. One note on our current sql 2000 I have no issues. Our sql 2005 is 64 bit, not sure if it makes a difference but thought I would mention it.

I am trying to set up connections so I can copy data from as/400 to sql 2005. I have a DNS set up on server called IPTSFIL which point to library iptsfil. I then need to create my source. There is no longer an ODBC option so I am trying ole db source. I created a connection but it€™s not working. In the connection there is a data link if I click on that I can point it to my DSN (IPTSFIL). But when I try to test it then thinks server name is IPTSFIL which is not the case and so it comes back with a port error due to that not being the system name. What am i doing wrong?

I read some people use data reader but I don't understand how to config that. Any input on how to help me get this working either using ole db or datareader would be appreciated.

I did test a client access session on server and I connect just fine. Also if I do a cwbping everything comes back sucessful.

Thanks in Advance,
Stacy

Import Data From Sql Server Or Access

May 8, 2008

Hello,

I have been looking for a way to import data from sql server 2005 or access into sql compact edition.

The short end of the story is that our product supports 3 databases, sql server, mysql, and access(for standalone deployments)

if we can use sql compact instead of access i believe it woudl simplify our support and maintenance, however i am struggling to find a way to get our existing data into compact.

This product is not a mobile application, and the .sdf files will be deployed to desktops, the only way ive seen to convert data so far is to use activesync over a mobile device.

is there any other way to get our existing sql server or access databases into compact?

Thanks

SQL Server 2014 :: How To Import Data To Server From Access Database Using Script

Sep 22, 2015

I want to import the data from specific Access Database and Table to SQL Server, using SQL Script. I am trying to implement the solution as given in this link. URL....Here is the code that I have tried -

sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO
sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1;
GO

[code]...

The access database file path is - 'C:SQL ProjectTestDB1001.mdb'.The Table from which I want to import the data is - [Table1001]. but when I run this script, I get this error -9 The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "MSAccessConnect" reported an error. Authentication failed.

Secondly I need to make 2 more changes to the code posted above.

1.If some access database .mdb, has got password protection, then how to include the password in the script, so that one does not have to manually feed in the password during data import work.

2. How to limit the data that is to be imported from the table [Table1001] by including a WHERE Clause, like for example - SELECT * FROM [Table1001] WHERE xdate = '2015-9-16 00:00:00.000')

IMPORT New Data Since Last IMPORT - DTS/Stored Procs?

Jan 7, 2004

Hello:

I am not sure how to implement the following, but I believe it entails using DTS, and hopefully it is fine that I post it here b/c ultimately I will need this backend data for my frontend .aspx pages:

On a weekly basis, I need to IMPORT some data located on a remote Oracle DB into SQL Server 2k. Since there is so much data to transfer, I would only like to transfer the data that is new to the table since the last IMPORT, i.e. a week ago and leave behin the OLD data.

Is DTS the correct way to go or do I have more control via DTS with STORED PROCEDURES? Does anyone have any good references for me?

On a similar note, once this Oracle data is IMPORTED into a certain table, I would like to EXPORT some of these NEWLY acquired rows matching certain criteria into another table for auditing purposes. For this scenario, should I implement a TRIGGER UPDATE event here on the first table?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

SQL Server 2005 Import Data Error

Aug 22, 2007

Hi there
I am importing data from a database on one server to the same database (exactly the same table structure etc) on another server. I am specifying the data from certain tables on the source database which are completely empty on the destination database. The tables on the destination database each have a primary key column (Identity Specification = YES, Is Identity = YES, Identity Increment = 1, Identity Seed = 1, Not for Replication = YES). The import fails on the first table (YvGroup) whose primary key, "GroupID", is the foreign key within other tables (Relationship is set).
The error i'm getting is as follows:
Error 0xc0202049: Data Flow Task: Failure inserting into the read-only column "GroupID". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc0202045: Data Flow Task: Column metadata validation failed. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc004706b: Data Flow Task: "component "Destination - YvGroup" (40)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_ISBROKEN". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc004700c: Data Flow Task: One or more component failed validation. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc0024107: Data Flow Task: There were errors during task validation. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
I'm sure the most important error is the first one, "Data Flow Task: Failure inserting into the read-only column". Is this happening because i'm trying to import data into primary key columns that are usually populated by an auto incremented integer and is seeing it as read only? Or is it due to the relationship with other tables? In which case if you have a table structure set up with relationships how would you ever be able to import data?
How can I get round this?Cheers
