I am using SSIS to load raw files into database. In my files I have columns Date which has format
1/1/2010 12:00:00 PM.
I want to load this column in format 1/1/2010 24:00:00. I mean in 24 hour format.
Is there a way of converting a datetime data type in the form [DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS] to an integer containing just the time in the form [HHMMSS].

Currently we are trying to load the xml files into sqlserver tables by using ssis 2012,We are getting xml files as a column in source table ,so we have to push these xml files into destination tables.
I'm following the below way to perform this activity
[URL]
But We have standard XSD structure for all the xml files ,and if xml file matches the XSD structure then only we have to load ,else it should skip to next xml file.
When you converting varchar to date time
SELECT convert(varchar,getdate())
What is the getdate here
i.e. we are converting any value to today's date

Hello,
Here's my need :
In one directory there's several excels file. Theses file have the same structure :
col : LOOKID, LOOKNAME, ASMPID, ASMPNAME, LOOKTYPE, LTYP_NAME, PAR_TYPE, PTYP_NAME, PARAMETER, VALUE.
The problem is that the cell format of the PARAMETER col. is different bewteen excel files. It could be date, numeric, ... The col destination in sqlservr database is Varchar(10).
I've created the ssis package with a ForEach Loop, and in the ForEach loop I've created a Data Flow Task.
In the data Flow Task I've created an excell source file (using excel file with col PARAMETER in date format) with an OLE DB destination.
When I launch the package on the same excel file as the one using to create Excel Source object it's OK, no errors, and data in the sql table are OK.
But when I launch the package on Excel file with col. PARAMETER in numeric format, there's no execution errors, but in the destination table the value of the PARAMETER col. is transform in date format.
I tried to change in Excel source object the datatype of the input PARAMETER col, but I've got some compilations errors. It seems that SSIS recognize automaticaly excel source data type col. But may be I did something wrong in the excel source settings ?
Is there a way to force the excel source datatype with varchar(10) ?
I've also tried to do the treatment with an script task but my vb.net knowledge isn't enought to do that.
If you have some suggestions, I'm listening.
Thanks

I used Import Data task in SQL server management studio which created a package in file system.
Task failed but I decided to debug it in Visual Studio.
In foxpro I have table dumpreg with field hcode char(6) in SQL server table au_dumping2 with respective field refno varchar(15)
Why I get this warning ?
[Destination - AU_DUMPING2 [43]] Warning: Truncation may occur due to inserting data from data flow column "refno" with a length of 15 to database column "hcode" with a length of 6.
direction of flow from char(6) to varchar(15) which seems to be safe ?
When I modified column in SQL Server to char(6) and all respective lengths in external and input columns to match exactly warning went away , but I want all foxpro char to be varchar in SQL server .
After that I got
[Destination - AU_DUMPING2 [43]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".
Search in forum showed that it may be mismatch of metadata. But I used initially wizard for package generation.
Is there example of package which loads from existing Foxpo ( Access ) table to SQL server , where column names are different but mapped , also safe type conversions occur ( especially I am interested in char(n) => varchar(n) ) ?
e.g.
1st March 2005 12:00:00
is showing as
01/03/2005 00:00:00
instead of
01/03/2005
Why does this happen?

Hi,
I am trying to access a date column up to millisecond precession. So I cast date to as follows:
Code BlockCONVERT(varchar(23),CREATE_DATE,121)
I get millisecond part as a result of query but its 000?.
When I try to test the format by using getDate instead of DateTime column I get right milliseconds.
CONVERT(varchar(23),GetDate(),121) --Gives right milliseconds in return
It seems I can do the type conversion in two place:
1. The advanced editor for flat file source => Input and output roperties. And I can set the output columns data type properties there.
2. Using a Data conversion box in Data flow transformation.
Any difference between these two? Which one should be used?

I can detach/attach SSAS database.But I have a software that protects(backs up) the files of the SSAS Database.
What the customer needs is to be able to take these backed up files and port it to a different server and attach it there.But the new server complains that these files have no corresponding detach-log files.
The customer doesn't want to backup and restore the SSAS databases.
I have tried to load data from .unl file into exact replica of database in SQL server 2005 but failed.
I used this syntax, but it doesn't work:
LOAD FROM 'C:something\_something.unl'
DELIMITER '#' INSERT INTO dbo.table
I am sure about the delimiter, so that's not the problem. I just get the message that syntax is incorrect near the keyword FROM and DELIMITER.
Could someone please tell me what the correct syntax would be? Or what seems to be the problem?
Thx
Short version:
The best/fastest way to load large amounts of data from a comma delimited text file into an SQL Server table. Where the text file contains date fields in ccyy/mm/dd format and the SQL Server table defines those fields as datetime data types.
Details:
When I attempt to load files (using either bcp or BULK INSERT) containing datetime data the load process errors because the datetime fields in my text file are in ccyy/mm/dd format and the default format for SQL Server is mm/dd/yy. I have been unable to change the default format by using the SET DATEFORMAT statement (apparently the SET DATEFORMAT statement will not work for bcp because bcp runs outside of the SQL Server session???).
The only alternatives that I have come up with are: 1) Change the format of date fields in the text file from ccyy/mm/dd to mm/dd/ccyy. 2) Create a temporary table that defines the date fields as a char(n) datatype. Then load the data into the temp table. Then SET the DATEFORMAT to ccyy/mm/dd. Then copy the temp table into the permanent table (the permanent table using datetime data types).
Both of these alternatives would require additional processing time. Since this is a process that loads large amounts of data on a monthly (soon to be weekly) basis, speed is of the essence.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!
I have run into something really annoying.
If I run the following SQL into SQL Server via SSMS it will load "31-DEC-49" as 2049-12-31.
INSERT
INTO Stg_StockProductCostPrice
VALUES (0,9999,0.99,'15-NOV-75','31-DEC-49')
But if I have the same data in a file and load it via SSIS it is loading into the database as 1949-12-31, instead of 2049-12-31.
I know there is a property called "Two Digit Year Cutoff" against the server. It is defaulted to 2049. Is there anything similar within SSIS?
Thanks

Hi Folks,

Can i do this without using any application like asp.net/c#. Is there any way to upload tiff files into tables using sql.The size of each image is approx 200-300kb.
I have tables with member information. The tiff file name is same as the member id. So i have to uplaod the image to the column in the member table with same id.
Can you guys please help me with this or suggest some articles/urls which use sql to upload tiff files.
Thanks in advance.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIn MySQL, I use "LOAD DATA INFILE 'my_path/data_file.txt'" to load datafrom a plain text file. Of course, the actual statement is a bit morecomplex once one considers the various options (e.g. comma delimited vstab delimited, record termination strings, &c.).My problem is that I have yet to find the equivalent within MS SQLserver. I did find a LOAD statement in T-SQL, but at first glance itseems to do something completely different.How does one normally load data from a plain text file into a table inMS SQL? This needs to be relatively efficient since, once inproduction, it will be used to load tens of megabytes of data into thedatabase (a feed from a data provider). Is it flexible enough to allowme to specify whether the fields are tab delimited vs comma delimited,optionally enclosed by quotes, record termination charactors, &c.?All I really need is direction to the right part of the T-SQL reference(MS SQL Server 2005). Anything else, such as examples, is icing on thecake.ThanksTed
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to do here is to load different flat files to different tables:
For example, if the file name starts with "enrollment", then it goes to table "enrollment" table;
if the file name starts with "student", then it goes to "student" table.
For now, I created a foreach loop container for the each different files. So it ended up using several foreach loop containers. I am wondering if there is a way just to use one foreach loop containters to process the loading.
Anyone shed some light on this?? Thank you very much for your help!
I'm using the For Each loop container to load multiple XML data files into SQL Server, and noticing some peculiar behavior and need some advice.
The pattern I'm trying to accomplish is this: Iterate over a collection of XML files in a specific folder, loading each in turn into SQL Server. If the file has already been loaded, delete the records first before the load. After the load succeeds, move the file into an Archive folder.
To accomplish this, I've set up a For Eac Loop container using the For Each File enumerator, and retrieve just the file name and extension into a variable. The first task in this is an Execute SQL task that uses a SQL DML statement to delete records based on a field in the table containing the file name (DELETE FROM table WHERE PROG_NAME = ?), and map a variable to the parameter. The next task is the data flow task that uses an XML source using the variable as the file name, and SQL Server destination. I use a derived column task in between to plug the variable holding the file name into the PROG_NAME field. So far, so good. This works.
But now comes the peculiar part. I initially had the XSD files in the same folder as the XML files, but wanted to put them in their own directory, so moved them, and made the change to the XML source adapter for the new path to the XSD file. The next time I ran my package, it failed. For some reason, as the For Each Loop tried to iterate over the directory, it was using the XSD path assigned in the XML source instead of the path for the XML files. Unusual...
My question is, why when choosing the File name & Extension retrieval type (as opposed to the fully qualified name) will the task try to use the XSD location to find the files? Is my variable getting reassigned somewhere?
