Normally, whenever I've wanted to export data to a file (which is very rare that I do), I have used SSMS. Yes, I'm sure there's a way to do it in T-SQL, but I've just done an export using the SSMS wizard.
But that appears to me to no longer be available in SSMS 2012. So, how is it done from SSMS 2012? Or is it only done using T-SQL/DDL?
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?

Can someone assist me with the following....
1. I am attempting to export data from a SQL DB (single table using a query) to a "flat file".
2. I would then like to take this "flat file" and import the data into a different SQL DB (same schema structure as first DB).
Unfortunately this has to be done in two steps.
Thank you for your help.

I am trying to find a convenient way to export parts of tables to text
files.
One way I see is BCP: Is there a way to avoid writing the command and
options into the command prompt by hand? I.e. a way to write the
commands into a text file and then to execute them?
Are there other ways? I`d like to find a way that a user who uses a web
interface can use.
Is there a way to send the text files via mail to a remote user?

I'm using SSIS package to export some data to a comma delimited CSV file. The problem is that some of the fields have commas in them. Is there a way to deal with this other to changing the delimiter?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi guys,
Would any of you be able to provide some guide on how am I going to export the selected data (multiple rows and columns) into Excel or CSV file?
Or at least export into Text file, which I can later on save the file name as .CSV, so it become a CSV file after saving.
Thanks.

I need to export some data from sql server 2012 to a excel file(.xlsx). Truncation error happened when executing the exporting task, error happened in conversion from a column of type nvarchar(max) to a column of type LongText. Max length of the source column data is 4303, and documented length limit of LongText, which is a alias of type Memo, is 64,000. why this error happen?
Below is detailed error message:

I am looking a way to export SQL Server 2005 DB tables to Access file dynamically. Like if i have added or removed any tables from SQL DB then when i run SSIS package it should export that table with data to Access file. is there any easy way to do this. if it is not them please someone please tell me which controls should i look at and which technique i should use to do this.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am curious what the "best practice" is for exporting data programmaticly from SQL Server to Excel. Is it best to do it straight from SQL Server, or should I do it with in my C# code? My program is going to pull the data, put in the excel file, then email the file. So I could write an SP that gets the data and puts it in the file, then have the C# code run the SP and email the file; Or I could have the code do everything, pull the data, export it & email it.
If it is considered better to have the SP do it, why and what is the best way? ROWSET functions?
I am using Office 2007 beta. I have a SSIS package that exports the records from sql server to excel file, when number of records is less than 24000 then it exports well, but if number of records is greater than 24000 than it does not export anything to excel file.
But when I give administrative privilages to the service account under which the SSIS package is running, it export even more than 24000.
On prod server giving administrative privilages to service account is not a good option. I don't know what are the minimum permissions it needs while exporting more data into excel 2007 file.
I thought this is the problem in office 2007 beta, but same behaviour is with RTM also.
Thanks in advance.

There's a lot of information on importing data from text files, but not a lot on exporting data to text files... I've checked but found no info on this.
I'm trying to export data from SQL Server to a fixed-width flat file and wondering if I'm doing it the right way.
I use a view as source (using a OLEDB connection manager) and I can see the data without problem.
I defined a Flat File Destination (using a flat file connection manager). When setting up the flat file connection manager, I am asked for a file... Does this mean one should create manually a template file with the desired output format? So I used a production file as template since we're replacing an existing process.
After having set up everything, I run the SSIS only to see all the data on the same row. There are no CRLF...
When I create the file connection manager, there's no way to mention the row delimiter. In the properties I see a "Row Delimiter" field and when I try with "{CR}{LF}" it makes no difference. Interesting to note that, contrary to the HeaderRowDelimiter field, the RowDelimiter field has no drop-down control to give choices.
So I had to return the CRLF as the last field of the source view (SELECT .... ,'CRLF' = CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) FROM ...) to make it work.
Seems odd... Is it the way to go?
Thanks
I have problems when exporting data into Excel file from SSIS. It all works fine with numeric columns but an apostrophe is attached at the beginning of each text cell. I tried using derived columns and data conversions but it didn't work. It seems to me that problem is in 'excel destination' task... I saw many people had this kind of problems too... Is there any solution possible?
Thanks.
I have a table that I am exporting via a SQL server table to a csv file, via the flat file connection manager within SSIS. My issue is that one of the fields in my table contains "," (commas), so when the file is created it creates new columns in the csv file because the field is "," comma delimited on the column. Is there anyway to get round this without having to get rid of commas in my table (which I've tried and works)?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have several users with an unusual problem with SSMS 2012. When they attempt to connect to a database using the "Connect to Server" dialog box, the connection just hangs. Sometimes after about 15 minutes the connection will be successful. Other attempts simply spin seemingly endlessly. Users experiencing this issue are both running SSMS 2012 on Win 7 Pro (64 bit). The following troubleshooting steps have been tried:
1. When the user runs SSMS "As Administrator" the connections work almost instantly. (Elevating privileges is not a solution in our environment)
2. Wireshark shows that SSMS does not try to hit the SQL server when the user experiencing this issue clicks connect.
3. I can create a new virgin user on the PC and that login experiences the same problem.
4. A complete rip and re-install of SSMS 2012 does not resolve the issue.
Hi. Im new to SQL and I need to export a SQL table as a comma delimited text file which is straight forward. However two of the fields are integers and I need these to be right justified with zero's.
In Access I would use something like format(columnname, "00000000") to get it to work, but SQL Server doesn't like this.
How can I do this?
Hi,
Question pls. I have an MS SQL local package where it exports data from SQL table to Excel file. My question is, how can erase all the records in my excel file before i export the new data from SQL table?
What i want is to delete the rows in the destination file before inserting new records.
Thanks a lot.
I writing the data from sql table to flat file destination. I want to insert the record count in the first line of the destination file.
Record count must preceed 00.EX . Writing 4500 records from database should show 004500 in the first line of flat file.
I have an execute task to store the count in a variable now.
I need to be able to export a data file as flat file (.txt) with fixed columns for use by Mainframe.
I will be uploaded this file using the Windows File Share Option
Render Format does not have .txt, but does have a data feed option. So I will try that.
But, I do not see an option for fixed column width.
I installed Red Gate's SQL Search and now I have an Add-ins icon. From the Icon I got to a list of tools, one of which is SSC's script library.
When I downloaded it I got this file "SQLScripts.utmcsr&__utmv=-&__utmk=243779397" which did not trigger an installer when clicking on it. How do I add it.
Why shrinkfile empty file does not redistribute data evenly in the primary file group with multiple files:
Please run the script attached to see what the end result is.
This is what I set up last night on my test machine.
1) Create database [FGTest] size 200MB
2) Create table called TEST on primary
3) Insert 40MB of data into test
4) Create another file group called temp in primary size 200MB
5) Shrinkfile('FGTest',emptyfile) so that all data is transfered from FGTest into temp file group.
6) Add another 2 files called DATA2 and DATA3. Both are 200MB.
7) We now have 3 empty files that I want data distributed evenly on. FGTest, DATA2 & DATA3
8) Shrinkfile('temp',emptyfile) to move all the data from temp over the 3 file groups evenly
I would expect at this stage to have the following:
FGTest = 13MB,
DATA2 = 13MB,
DATA3 = 13MB
(40MB of data over 3 files should be about 13 MBish in each file)
What I actually end up with is this:
FGTest = 20MB
DATA1 = 10MB
DATA2 = 10MB
It looks as though SQL Server is allocating 50% of all data to the original file and then 50% evenly over
the remaining files in PRIMARY.
We have a large 'History' database that is currently about 4.5TB, with most of that in a datafile that is 4.2TB. We wanted to stop growth on the one large data file and have SQL Server allocate new data to the other data files, but this throws an error when we attempt to change the MAXSIZE settings:
ALTER failed for Database 'History'
MODIFY FILE failed. Specified size is less than or equal to current size.
The SQL Server is saying we can have a max size of 2TB, and anything over that is blocked. Since this is being blocked, the file continues to grow.
Is there any way to cap the growth of the 4.2TB file and not allow any more data to be written to it?
Granted there are nearly 8000 tables in this particular database. What needs to be installed or what bit needs to be flipped so the user can see all tables in SSMS?

Every time I start SSMS 2012 the "Connect to Server" box is partially obscured in that the top of it, the move bar can't be accessed. I've manually moved it using "alt+space" then "M" followed by the arrow keys, but it's getting annoying. Is there any way to change the initial start position of this box?

Already have SQL2008 installed, and it works fine and great.Needed to install 2012 alongside for another project. Heard it should be fine to have both running. So I did. Installed MDS, DQS, SSIS, Service, and management tools. Launching SSMS 2012, when I click the "new query" button... I get the following error: library not registered. (exception from hresult:0x8002801D (type_e_libnotregistered))
If I connect object explorer to a server (local or otherwise), and try to script an object, it gives me the same error and then crashes the application. If I launch SSMS 2008, I can use it to connect to 2012 instance. So I know the instance and service are running correctly. It looks like its just the SSMS that is a problem.
I liked the default appearance of SSMS in 2005 and 2008. 2012 is lousy by default.
My quesion is whether it can be made to approximate the way it behaved in 2008.
What I liked: Registered Servers and Object Explorer resided on nested vertical tabs on the left-hand side of the screen. Queries stacked up on the right-hand side of the screen.
I managed to get the Registered Servers and Object explorer to display with nested vertical tabs (tabs at the top, rather than the bottom - that's ok). But if there aren't any other vertical tabbed displays, then the tab on top fills the screen. There's no point to that. Both Registered Servers and Object explorer are narrow trees. The rest of the screen is white nothingness.
If a query is opened, it then fills the screen - empty. If I want that in a vertical tab I have to manually make it one (right click, choose New Vertical Tab Group).
s there a way to make the doggone thing behave?
The way I got the Registered Servers and Object explorer to behave this way was to right click on a tab and play with the vertical tabbing options.
