I'm having trouble importing a CSV file into SQL using SSIS. The trouble seems to stem from truncation and from quote encapsulated fields.
Firstly it's worth noting that some of the data within the quotes contains the separator. E.g.
12,"some text, and a comma",34
Thankfully SSIS seems to cope with that by specifying " as the Text Qualifier. My next problem was that the SSIS Import and Export Wizard gave an error: "failed because truncation occurred". But I fixed this by specifying the OutputColumnWidth for the NCHAR and NVARCHAR type columns to be the width from the table definition.
But now I have another problem with the length of fields. Consider the following where the center column is NCHAR (22)
101,"some text, and a comma",303 102,"some ""quoted text"" bye",303
The first row has the correct width (once the encapsulating quotes are stripped out), but the second row does not, because it seems that when I exported the table the export wizard escaped the quote characters within encapsulated strings using quote characters. So I am back to getting the "truncation occurred" error. How can I get around this within SSIS?
I ran a large query and exported it to xls. In Excel, I noticed a value of '2.00E+01'. I formatted the Excel cell and then got a value of '20'. I searched for the record in SQL Server 2008, ya I know, ancient. The value is '2E1' which excel is seeing as scientific notation.
Can I use a case statement that when an 'E' is present to add a single prefix quote like '2E1? Or perhaps do it for the whole column? Or put put double quotes around the whole field?
I have a stored proc that creates a view so I can pass parameters. I need to replace the 120 with the variable @MEA. I can't get my quotes right to make this work. ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.spi_CallList (@strAgent nchar(4), @MEA int)
IF EXISTS (SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEWS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'qs_CallList1') DROP VIEW qs_CallList1
SET @SQL = 'Create view qs_CallList1 as SELECT top 100 percent tsd_Claim.clinsnum AS [Ins#], Sum(tsd_Claim.cloutstandingamt) AS OutstndByIns FROM (tsd_Claim LEFT JOIN [qs_SQLClaimStatusLastEntryCL] ON (tsd_Claim.clnum = [qs_SQLClaimStatusLastEntryCL].Claim) AND (tsd_Claim.clpid = [qs_SQLClaimStatusLastEntryCL].Pat)) LEFT JOIN tsd_Patient ON tsd_Claim.clpid = tsd_Patient.PID WHERE (((tsd_Patient.PAGENT)=''' + ltrim(rtrim(@strAgent)) + ''') AND (([qs_SQLClaimStatusLastEntryCL].Pat) Is Null) AND ((tsd_Claim.clfromdos)<GetDate()-120)) GROUP BY tsd_Claim.clinsnum ORDER BY Sum(tsd_Claim.cloutstandingamt) DESC' EXECUTE(@sql)
How do I insert a single quote ' into a table? For example:Insert mytable values (1,''')I get an error message.Any ideas? The server does not recognize double quote (why? is thistsql, ansi?), otherwise I could have written it as:Insert mytable values (1,"'")Thanks.
I am using SQL Server 2005, I have a NVarChar parameter called @Text that I use to build a dynamic Where clause for my SELECT Statement. SET @l_Where = @l_Where + N' AND (StatusDesc LIKE ''' + Replace(@Text, "'", "''") + N'%'')' This gives me an invalid column error. How do I replace the single quotes in @Text with 2 Single Quotes? TIA,Jason
I have 2 SQL 6.5 databases on separate servers. Server A replicates a text field into a table on server B.
On server A the field contains text similar to THIS IS FRED'S HOUSE. After replication to Server B it looks like THIS IS FRED''S HOUSE. The distribution database also has it as THIS IS FRED''S HOUSE. Using ODBC trace I cannot see the value being passed in the text field as it is displayed as a question mark e.g. ?.
only difference is the machine name has a single quote (apostrophy) in the name... xyz's
Now - a portion of the application is failing - the starting of the application runs ok, and the system is indeed seeing the database (it allowed the user to log in) so the connection string seems to be ok - just in that one part...
does anyone know if the machine name with an embedded apostrophy will cause the ADO connection string to puke???
i am trying to add a single quote to a string. This is a must because i am making a full select statement in which i need the single quote to compare values. Obviously this breaks my string invalidating my query.
ej:
SELECT avg(tabla.ip_trend_value) as valor, FLOOR(Cast(tabla.ip_trend_time AS FLOAT)) as tiempo FROM TESTLAB5.dbo.CE02_L21_916AI31_43 tabla, TESTLAB5.dbo.CE02_L21_916XI31_4 t2 WHERE t2.ip_trend_value = 'Alimentacion Digestores' and t2.ip_trend_time = tabla.ip_trend_time group by FLOOR(Cast(tabla.ip_trend_time AS FLOAT))
and this will become something like this.
SELECT @TableName = 'TESTLAB5.dbo.'+@TableName SELECT @SQL = 'SELECT avg(tabla.ip_trend_value), FLOOR(Cast(tabla.ip_trend_time AS FLOAT)) FROM ' SELECT @SQL = @SQL + @TableName SELECT @SQL = @SQL + ' tabla, TESTLAB5.dbo.CE02_L21_916XI31_4 t2' SELECT @SQL = @SQL + ' WHERE t2.ip_trend_value = '@NombreVar'and t2.ip_trend_time = tabla.ip_trend_time' SELECT @SQL = @SQL + ' group by FLOOR(Cast(ip_trend_time AS FLOAT))'
the @NombreVar is the equivalence of 'Alimentacion Digestores'.
is there something i can add or change to make it work ?
I have a problem with one of my apps. The apps was written long long time ago in C++ and uses SQL server 7
The problem is that when the users key in some data with single quote in it the query failed, obviously. Is there any way that SQL Server automaticaly manages this kind of Insert/Update statements ?
I'm inserting a row of people's names and addresses to a table. This seems to work great, unless the person has ' in their name, for example O' Riordan. When the address has single quote (such as Wilder's Path), I'd get the same error, unclosed quote when inserting the row.
What would be the best way to work around this, other than read the line and replace it with a space.
Hi I have a table with a few hundred emailadresses. How can I delete all quotes (') from the addresses, so that 'email@email.com' is replaced as email@email.com. Thank you zipfeli

Hi, I am beginer to ASP.NET. I want to insert ' ( single quote ) which is entered by the user in a textbox of the ASP.NET web page. As you all know in the insert command the column is ending at that single quote.
In my asp.net page when I run a query against the database the datagrid get populated with only the records that starts with the first letter for example A good day. But none of the records that starts like this "A fine day" or "A nice day" displays in the datagrid. I tried to replace the Double Quote but it still returns only the records without " quotes. My query looks like this: Dim queryString As String = "SELECT [Articles].[AN], [Articles].[Department], [Articles].[ArticleHeading], [Articles].[AccessLevel], [Articles].[Status] FROM [Articles] WHERE (([Articles].[AccessLevel] <> 'SysAdmin') AND ([Articles].[Status] = 'Enable') AND (REPLACE([Articles].[ArticleHeading], 'chr(34)', '')) like @ArticleHeading) ORDER BY [Articles].[ArticleHeading]"
Some of my records starts with a double quote, when I do a search for all records starting with A I can get all except the ones that start "A fine day ...
How do I get a single quote (') in a NVARCHAR string in MS SQL Server?e.g. SELECT @strsql = "SELECT * FROM tblTest WHERE Field1 Like 'blah''Obviously this is invalid as the single quote before "blah" would end thevarchar string.How do I get round this?
I'm cleaning up a column in my table and getting rid of special characters.The only think I can't get rid of with the REPLACE function is single quotes.I'm doing aUPDATE TableSET Column = REPLACE(Column,'''','') --that's four single quotes then two single quotesBut the single quotes in my column wouldn't go away.I know that

i am running sql server 2000 on windows 2000. i have a need to export a view and delimit the columns with double quotes as it has imbedded commas in the columns, how do i do this??
Using a language that using A4GL to connect to the database. From within the language(COBOL) we have the ability to add a simple query. All is fine with one exception. Some of the fields might have a quote mark in it. we have a field in particular that a lot of our clients like to put an apostrophe in. such as 0001A'06, 2'11" and so on. Now from inside our programs and using the simple query we add something like 'where ap_id = '0001A'06' which i know is an error but is there a way around this or a way to make it work?
I'm exporting from a View using the bcp utility. I have the -t switch set for comma delimited. My first 3 columns are integers, but the rest of my columns need to be wrapped in double quotes because some of the string data contains commas. I can't find a simple way to do this, although I keep coming across notes about format files without any good examples.
is there some way to avoid single quote for all fields (including text) in excel when we export data from sql server? i dont want to have any single quote in excel when i export data.
I know this issue has been raised here before, but I have a different angle/question on it.
Flat File source, SQL Destination. No column from the source file has a consistent real width, just consistent to be less that the SQL column.
Issue:
CHAR(12), SMALLINT, CHAR(78), BIGINT
"100012",0,"This is the ""Memo"" of the record, it needs to be imported.",12
This row errors out due to the double quotes around the word MEMO. Additionally, the entire package stops processing due to there being a comma in the memo after the quote encapsulation is escaped.
Has this issue been addressed in any of the SP's? If not, how about this thinking:
1.) Character index the pattern ," and take the value of the first instance of the pattern.
2.) Character index the pattern ", and take the LAST instance of the pattern (ignoring the pattern match after the first column).
3.) Replace all double qoutes between the values of the indexes with single quotes.
4.) Proceed with the Comma separated, quote encapsulated import.
Any thoughts? Additionally, if this seems like it may work, does anyone have a clue how to program this in SSIS, or would I be better to run my files through a VBScript parser to accomplish this first?
