Running An SSIS Package After Using Import/Export Wizard
Dec 17, 2007
Hello All,
I am a newbe at MS SQL 2005, so if this has already been answered elsewhere, please just point me in the right direction.
I have successfully used the Import/Export wizard in "execute immediate" mode to import a table from Oracle 10g to MS SQL 2005. Works like a charm, but when I take the saved pacakge (saved as a *.dtsx server side file) - with no changes to the package and execute it from the either the "dos" prompt or from Windows explorer it fails at the login to Oracle step. Yet when I check the package's "Connection Managers" source connection, all the settings, user-ids and passwords look fine. The package does indeed execute, but I receive an ORA-01017:invalid username/password within the trace file of the package, but nothing has been changed from the Import/Export wizard which ran beatifully, thus verifying the appropriate acccess rights to Oracle.
Where is a package visible when running the Data Import/Export wizard, choosing to save a package, and choosing "SQL Server" as the location? When I make an SSIS connection in Management Studio I do not see the package under the "MSDB" node.
I have Sql Server 2005 Developer Edition and Sql Server Management Studio.I'm trying to import data but there are no options available under "Projects" in SSMS.Do I need to download an update or anything to use this functionality? Thanks
Its my first time trying to set up a SSIS job using the import/export wizard to export the results of a query into an excel file.
i am using sql server 2005, windows XP SP2.
In the last step in the excel destination editor, in the connection manager when i am trying to select the excel file to write into i am getting this error.
'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 ' provider is not registered on the local machine.
I have set up the excel connection manager. i have changed the properties of the project to set
the Run64BitRuntime to false.
please let me know if there is anything else i need to do to fix this.
I'm just beginning to use SSIS (bracing for a steep learning curve due to lack of helpful documentation) and am starting out trying use the Import and Export Wizard. On the "Choose a Data Source" page there is a dropdown for the Data Source. I see a list of possible data providers, but not one of "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC drivers," which is the one I wanted to use because I'm trying to connect to an obscure database. So I figured that I need to use ".Net Framework Data Provider for Odbc." Unfortunately, regardless of what I enter for the Connection string or the Dsn or the Driver I invariably get an error, although it's somewhat dependent on that I have entered for those three items.
Either this (when I type in a DSN)
Cannot get the supported data types from the database connection "Dsn=Terrascan_Okanogan_WA".
or this (if I enter a full connection string and a driver)
So I have a couple questions. First, why doesn't "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC drivers" appear in the list of data sources, and secondly, when using the ".Net Framework Data Provider for Odbc" data source what inputs are expected because whatever I'm doing doesn't seem to work?
Running SQL 2008. Trying to copy data from one table into another table using SSIS Import/Export Wizard. Now, when I do a straight "Copy data from one or more tables or views", no problems. But when I use the "Write a query to specify the data to transfer", it will not let me get anywhere.
My source table has a field that is setup as "time". It has data, and no problems with the field. I even replicated my destination table structure exactly. But when I try to use the Import & Export wizard, for that one field I get an error stating the source field is unknown and it is labeled as "-1" instead of "time".
I found a couple of of workarounds. One is to cast the source field "time" as "datetime", and then end up with a "datetime2" field in the destination table. Works, but not what I want to store in that field. Second workaround is to use TSQL and use a "INSERT INTO...SELECT...FROM..WHERE.." statement. This works, and gives me the desired results with all data types being same in source and destination, but is a slight pain in the rear end.
I just want the Import & Export wizard to work. It should work. Why doesn't it know what "time" is? I even checked the MSSQLToSSIS10.XML mapping file the wizard is using. This is what it has for "time":
I built a packaage in SSIS with the import/export utility. It created a Package.dtsx and Package1.dtsx. Both of these files seem to be XML files. I want to understand how these files work. For example, in the package I built I had about 80 tables exporting and importing data. Some of them I want to allow the identiy insert and delete the rows first. Others I want to append the data. How can I find the code or settings that does this? Or where can I find the options on the gui interface to change these settings. When I search the code I can't even find a some of the tables that are being transferred.
I saw this post by dterrie in the Wishlist thread and I just wanted to second it:
"How about bringing back a simple dBase import. The SSIS guys are clearly FAR out of touch with reality if they think people who handle data no longer need to work with dbf files. I've seen alot of dumb stuff in my day, bit this is just sheer brilliance. I just love the advice of first importing into Access and then importing the Access table. Gee, why didn't I think of such a convenient solution. I could have had a V-8."
I've been struggling with this the last couple days and finally decided to import the dBase III file into Access and then import that into SQL Server 2005. Imagine my surprise when I discovered this was the current recommended method.
That's just ridiculous. Can someone tell me why they would reduce some of the functionality of SQL Server from 2000 to 2005? This was a very easy process in SQL Server 2000...
Should I be able to use a SQL Server Compact Edition sdf file as the data source for the SSIS Import and Export Wizard?
When I select the .net Framework Provider for compact Edition from the data source drop down, I get a message box with "An error occured which the SSIS Wizard was not prepared to handle. Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. (mscorlib) Specified method is not supported. (System.Data.SqlServerCe)"
We have a user with a sdf file that will no longer sync, so we wanted to get her data from sdf file tables into SQL Server tables quickly and easily. Since the SSIS wizard wouldn't work with the sdf data source, we copied SQL Server Mgmt Studio query results into an Excel spreadsheet via the Clipboard, them imported those records with SSIS. But we need a repeatable process in case this happens in the future.
We tried to reinitialize her merge replication subscription with SQL Server Mgmt studio, and with C# code, but none of that would work.
How many MS data provider options are available for SQL Server compact edition? I see ".Net Framework Data Provider for Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition" in the SSIS data source drop down, but shouldn't I also see an OLE-DB Provider for SQL Server Compact Edition?
This is all on my XP workstation where I can successfully write C# code for SQL Server Compact data access with Assembly = System.Data.SqlServerCe = C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEPublicAssembliesSystem.Data.SqlServerCe.dll. So I think I have the proper tools installed.
A view named "Viw_Labour_Cost_By_Service_Order_No" has been created and can be run successfully on the server. I want to import the data which draws from the view to a table using SQL Server Import and Export Wizard. However, when I run the wizard on the server, it gives me the following error message and stop on the step Setting Source Connection
Operation stopped...

Does anyone encounter this problem before and know what is happening?
I am trying to simplify a query given to me by one of my collegues written using the query designer of Access. Looking at the query there seem to be some syntax differences, so to see if this was the case I thought I would import the database to my SQL Server Developer edition.
I tried to start the wizard from within SQL Server Management Studio Express as shown in one of the articles on MSDN which did not work, but the manual method also suggested did work.
Trouble is that it gets most of the way through the import until it spews forth the following error messages:
- Prepare for Execute (Error) Messages Error 0xc0202009: {332B4EB1-AF51-4FFF-A3C9-3AEE594FCB11}: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available.

Error 0xc004701a: Data Flow Task: component "Source 33 - ATable" (2065) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020801C. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard).
There does not seem to be any method of specifying a number of sessions, so I don't see how to get round the problem.
Does anyone know how I can get the import to work?
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.
Can anyone tell me how I can use the DTS Wizard to import over 100 excel files from my hard drive, over to my server called(MARKETING_DB)and loop back through to grab the next excel file until all the files have been imported?
I'm using the DTS Import/Export Wizard for the first time. Does anyone have a "canned" script I can run instead of going through the step by step wizard process. I have a number of tables I have to copy from a prod to test environment.
I am having alot of problems with the import export wizard. I am trying to copy over around 315 tables to a new database. When the tables are copied over to the new database they are copied without any of the original constraints. Does anyone know why this could be happening? What I am trying to accomplish is a simple database transfer with the exception of about 10 to 15 tables from the original database. I do not understand why this is such a problem. I did not create a package, as this is going to be a one time shot.
I'm trying to export data from a SQL Server 2005 database to a DB2 database through SSIS. However, I keep getting an error that says "Could not retrieve table list" with Invalid Conversion. SQLSTATE=07006. Does anybody have any ideas or what the problem could be? -Kyle
SQL Server 7.0 has an Import/Export Wizard for insert/outputs to delimitefd files. I was wondering if someone could point me to an undelying SP or fuction which is being run and if it can be modified/customised, or any other alternative within SQL-Server. TIA, Mustafa
I have read your articles and I got one question about the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard in MS SQL 2005.
It seems that in some cases, the Wizard do not copy ID’s even if I select the “Enable identity insert”
One of these cases is when I have already run a script to create the database schema before I start the wizard.
If I don’t run a script to create database schema before I start the wizard, then I will not get the keys transferred to the new database.
Do you know why this can happen and if this is meant to be a feature in the MS SQL 2005 or is Microsoft using another way to copy databases with identities and keys in this version?
Hi everyone, Plese help me out. I import one database from one server to another. This process able to copy all the tables and functions but it copied only few stored procedures.
so tell me how to copy or import remaining stored procedures?
I'm trying to export data from a SQL Server 2005 database to a DB2 database through SSIS. However, I keep getting an error that says "Could not retrieve table list" with Invalid Conversion. SQLSTATE=07006. Does anybody have any ideas or what the problem could be? The replies so far that I have gotten have been... -Kyle
-------------------------------
Where exactly do you get this error?
Thanks, Bob
--------------------------------
I am getting the error on the SELECT source tables and views screen. -Kyle
--------------------------------
What type of provider are you using for your sql sql server connection manager? Does a 'test connection' succeed?
--------------------------------
It loks like fetching of table metadata does not work for your provider. Is there a way you could try to see that metadata in some other tool after setting the same connection parameters (DSV wizard in BIDS perhaps). Try to double-check your schema related connection settings.
HTH, Bob
--------------------------------
The test connection does succeed. The provider I am using is the IBM OLE DB Provider for DB2
--------------------------------
Can you try using MS OLE DB for DB2 to see if you get the same error? Also, is there a blob column in the source/destination table? If there is, try to move the data without the blob column and see if you get this error.
-------------------------------- (Does anybody know what this is? I can't seem to find the MS OLE DB for DB2)
we have recently purchased a server with sql 2005. One of the things we are looking to do is pull our entire informix database over onto the sql box. I have tried using the import/export wizard however when it comes to the copying I the option to copy all tables is greyed out. I have been able to do this sql to sql but not when i select the source as odbc and destination as sql.
I need to try and resolve this quite quickly and any advice/help would be appreciated. Please bear in mind that im relatively new to this stuff. I have had a look at other posts, and am getting the impression that this cannot be done simply. My initial understanding was that this could be done using the DTS in sql 2000 quite simply, but was also told that it should be even easier in 2005..
I'm using SQL Server 2005 Workgroup edition for the first time and I'm having trouble with the Import Wizard between my Access Database source and the SQL Server Management Studio. I get through the Import Wizard successfully saying the rows were added to [database].dbo.[table]. At the final screen I'm given a Close button but never asked to "save" the import. Whenever I exit the wizard and return back to the object browser in the Management Studio my imported tables are nowhere to be found. What am I doing wrong?
I installed Sql Server Express with Advanced Services. Created a new database. When I right click the DB, and select Tasks, there is no Import/Export on the task list. The drop down Tools menu has only three items, External Tools ....., Customize ..., and Options ... (I have the client Sql Server Enterprise Manager on this machine to connect to Sql Server 2000 on another server.)
I have imported spreadsheet and text files into SQL 2000 and I have never had this much trouble. Everything is just fine when I have a table that is all varchar(50). I have a table that has money, datetime, etc. Everytime I try to import this information it says that it cannot import because the column will be truncated. The column that first errors out is completely blank. The table column allows nulls. What is the issue? It is a money column and there isn't anything in there. Next the error message says that it is a datetime field ever after it has already run bast 5 datetime fields without a problem. The format is exactly the same. Is there a patch for this or am I doing something completely wrong? PLEASE HELP!
I am currently having some issues with using the Import/Export Wizard to import (copy) data into SQL Server. Then, I need to import tables (data) from an Access Database. When I am trying to go through the "SQL Server Import and Export Wizard" I get an "Operation stopped..." message (it also says click the Back button to change the settings). I have a lot of actions that have not been successful, this would include the following:
Prepare to Execute- Stopped Pre-execute- Stopped
Executing- Error This is the message under "Executing": (Error 0xc002f210: Preparation SQL Task: Execuing the...)
Copying to [Donor].[dbo].[Donor]- Stopped Copying to [Donor].[dbo].[Fund]- Stopped Copying to [Donor].[dbo].[Pledge]- Stopped
Post-execute- Stopped Cleanup- Stopped
I would appreciate any advice or help in this matter. Thank you for your time! Please let me know if there are any questions.
Where do I install the necessary files to get the import/export wizard to show up in sql express management studio? I have tried installing the SP1 Toolkit, the advanced services etc but I cannot get it so that I can right click on a database and 'import data' or 'export data' Thanks!
Hi, I have two environements: 1) Development (Full access to SQl Server 2005) 2) Hosting SQL Server 2005, ONLY accees to the database MYDatabase, NO access to master I would like to copy a table from my development to hosting. I would like to have an exact replica of the table in hosting. I DO NOT want to copy the whole database, just a table. I was able to do this without problems in SQL 2000/Enetrprise Manager. I have tried to copy the table using the new import/export data wizard. I did enabled Identity Insert option. There are few problems: 1) The drop table and recreate option (under Mappings) is disabled, I can not check it. IS THIS a BUG? I have latest SP 3 aplplied 2) When I just run it I get the following errors. Also the problem is that it runs in trunsaction, I was hoping it would skip the duplicate records and just copy the ones I need. Seems it is all or nothing, very common problem in Windows based systems (same problem in Explorer when copying files) 3) I was hoping that such a simple task as mirroring a table would be easly achieved, please help
