SQL 2005 / DBF Importing And Exporting
Jul 24, 2007
dBase importing was handled by the import/export tool provide with SQL 2000. I see no way to import .dbf files in sql 2005 except to load the sql 2000 tools. I realize that the dbf format is old, but there is still a lot of stuff that comes in dbf and sql2005 needs to support this.
Where can I find an importer for dbf to sql2005?
I keep hearing lots of work arounds but nothing to explain why a common data format can't be easily imported/exported in sql2005 tools. Whats the deal?

also i was wondering, that i have been reading that with this sp2 for sql server 2005 express you are able to use the dts wizard, is this true? i have a few databases in access that i would like to import into sql, would i have to create the tables first in sql then import or will the import also bring the tables & structure in?
thank you to all

I'm really new to the whole database deal (as well as VB.net) - specifically with the capabilities surrounding VB and SQL Server 2005. My question is open to any recommendations...
What I have is an application that a user uses to create 'new' products. They are presented a form to enter the information regarding the product they wish to create. They enter the details of the product and also locate an image that represents the product, too. Currently, this application saves the product information (including binary image data) into a SQL Server 2005 Express Edition database. This application and database reside on a client pc. What I need to do is to be able save updated and newly created product data into a file of some sort. That file will make its way to a memory stick (USB) and then be transported to a 'field' machine. Quite simply, what is the best way to do this? Are there walk-throughs on this sort of thing? The target database is also SQL Server 2005. I thought I'd post this question on here to get the best design ideas... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Everybody,
Not sure if this is the correct Forum, anyway lemme me know your views. I
have SQL Server running in two remote machines (in different geographical
locations). I need to import a database from one SQL Server
installation to another installation. What is best possible solution:
1) Transfering the .mdf and .ldf file from one installation to another installation
2) Generating the records of all the tables in the database to a common
file format CSV and then loading it in destination database. If this is
ok then how to generate import and export data using CSV format
3) Any other options?

I have installed ssms, and the toolkit.
When I right click on a database I don't have Import/Export under tasks. However I do have C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSBinnDTSWizard.exe installed and can invoke it manually.
What do I need to do to get it to show up in tasks?

This may be a simple question with an obvious answer, but I'm fairly new to databases and I can't seem to find the right procedure.
I created a database on my machine. If I want to copy the information from this database (columns, tables, and entries specifically) from my machine to another SQL server on a different machine, what is the best way to do this without manually re-entering all of the information?
Is there a simple export/import of a database for transferring it from one server to another?
Thanks,

I have a web application I created in asp.net + sql2005 and am deploying a genercized version of it to multiple clients. I have created a script which dynamically generates a database to a server and creates all of the tables, procs, and views. I now need data from the old database, which will be imported into the new database. It's basically default users, lookup values, etc. What are some methods of getting this data out of the old server and into the new server? I was thinking about generating flat files with the data, then writing code to loop through and insert the data, but it seems very tedious. Do I have any other options? I cannot use Backup and Restore because I have no access to the new sql server's filesystem.Thanks.

Hello,
I'm fairly new to MS SQL & I have a problem copying tables from one d/b to another. When I do an import or export select Copy tables, the tables & the data get transferred, but all the Identities are set to NO. My D/Bs have 188 tables & it's a pain to reset all of them manually.
Is there a setting I don't know about that will transfer the tables & maintain the Identity?
(I'm using SQL Server Management Studio 9.0)
Thanks for your help - Breck Cogdill

I am currently redirecting lookup failures into error tables with ErrorCode and ErrorColumn. It works fine until I want to transfer data into the archived database. The SSIS pacakage generate by SQL Exporting tool is throwing an "duplicate name of 'output column ErrorCode and ErrorColumn" error. This is caused by oledb source error output. The error output automatically add ErrorCode and ErrorColumn to the error output selection and not happy with it.
I think the question is down to "How to importing/exporting data when table contains ErrorCode or ErrorColumn column?"

Hi all,
I have a MSSQL database running on my SQL 2005 server and I want to export the entire contents to a file as SQL statements with INSERT statements. How do I do this?
I've discovered how to export the contents as a flat comma deliminiated file (although only one table at a time) and how to export the CREATE statements in SQL for each table but so far I cannot find a way to just export the entire DB as SQL.
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm developing a web app in .NET 2.0 using SSRS 2000 and 2005. Some of the reports need to be exported directly to PDF when clicked, but the problem is in the fact that the user must select the parameters from the report manager window.
Is there any way to allow the direct export to PDF when generate is clicked, or to limit the options the user has to export to in the report manager.
P.S. If it is possible, I DO NOT want to accomplish this using code.
Thanks,

I have been able to export to Excel with success. However, here is a big issue
Destination spreadsheets that contain colums. This seems to work OK but what is strange (by design???) is that appearently it reads the first seven or several rows and then determines the data types (numeric or string). Why doesn't it just use the data types from the source fields? If the last row is column headings (strings, such as Jan, Feb, etc) it treats EVERY row data element in the column as string or character data type. Why??? For my testing, I had to put a full row of 0's in my monthly buckets, so the data would be imported as numbers in the spreadsheet, otherwise it was string or charater data type.
Please tell me there is some logical reasoning behind this Excel export "feature". Or is there someting I am missing? I really want the destination Excel spreadsheet to be a template and have formated Title, Headings (different fonts), columns etc. My thinking is that it would just drop the data at the end of the spreadsheet (in this case the first row following the column headings) with the same data types as the fields in the source. I hope I am wrong and there is away to accomplish exporting to Excel as described above. A very simple approach, Microsoft could have possibly taken is have the ability to specify the starting row, column as a propert(ies) in the Excel Destination object / control.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Does SSRS 2005 have the issue fixed as to when the user exports a report to .xls format and the report contains a subreport?
In SSRS 2000, if there was a subreport in the main report, and the user exported the report to .xls, then it would just display an error message.
Thanks!

Hi, I'm getting slightly frustrated...!
I've imported a couple of DTSs from 2k to 2005, now I know that they are stored in MSDB and I know that I need to export them to a file before I can work on them in SSIS.
The problem is:
How do I export them to a flat file?? I've looked everywhere and it's driving me nuts!
Also I can't seem to find out how to delete them either?! I can see the data sotred in the dtspackages90 table but how do I edit/get rid of them.
Help!

I am getting an error: "Damage to the file was so extensive that repairs were
not possible. Excel attemted to recover your formulas and values, but
some data may have been lost or corrupted." in some instances when
exporting toexcel.
The report is no different than any othere report. This report uses rectagles and text boxes to control layout with two tables but it's pretty straight forward. This only happens for this particular report when exported only to Excel. I am using SQL2005 SP1.
Any ideas, thoughts, or references are welcome.

I have about 50 Excel files from which I have to import data with some transformations to Sql Server. My first approach was to use Excel Source component in a data flow to read the data . However, as it turned out column X in some files was being converted to a DT_NTEXT blob and in other files it was mapped to WSTR. The reason I guess is because column X contained string of varying sizes - some greater than 255 characters while others less than 255 ( max was 3000 ) . My package used a ForEach loop to iterate over all the Excel files in a directory and feed that to the data flow task. I played around with IMEX and TypeGuessRows setting but they didnt help me . In my second approach I used 2 Excel sources ; one set up for the blob type and the other for the string type . I joined them together using a precedence contraint. This worked but I then figured out that there were 2 other columns in my data that exhibited the same behavior. I couldnt continue with the mulitple Excel source approach cause I would then have 8 Excel source components. Finally, I played around with Execute SQL Task . I selected the columns X,Y and Z , initialized 3 variables of type Object , used a ForEach to enumerate over the dataset and feed that to a script component that converted the objects to Strings. This seems to work for all types of data in the mulitple columns.
My question - has anyone encountered such problem ? What was the solution ? Just thought I would share this with the rest of the community. I cant seem to recall what the exact error I was getting ..but it was something like "cant convert long data to string " or something . I also keep getting annoying error icons in my Excel Source components used in the foreach loop. Something to do with acquire connection failed even after I set DelayValidation to "true".
Thanks
