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.
Iam trying to load a RR Flat File(Ragged Right) into SQL Server DB Destination.
The file feeds the data into two tables and the logic looks like this..
If Position 30 = ''
Record Set goes into Table 1
Else
Record Set goes into Table 2
I have no clue where to start with my limited SSIS Exposure.. Any Ideas as to what i shud be starting with (Transformations)??
Thanks in Advance.
For some reason, when I try to use the Flat File Source and set the record type to Ragged Right it does not seem to recognize 'short' records. It seems to be confused by the CRLF set delimiters and not recognize these in 'some' records. The input does not seem consistent. What am I missing?

how do I make the output columns padded with extra space ? I intentionally set my output width larger than the input width, but the generated file is still jamming all the columns next to each other

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'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?

Hi,
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'm trying to create an import package using BIDS. I'm using SQL Server 2008. The data is saved as a .csv file so that I can use the flat file option for data source. The issue I am having is that when I preview the flat file after selecting it as the datasource, some of the data that have the numeric file format are showing up as non numeric, for instance the value -1,809,575,682,700 is being viewed as ""1 and the package is giving a conversion error.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.

Hi all,
In a foreachloop, I am inserting records into a flat file which is working fine. But the thing is that as the file grows, it takes longer for it to locate the EOF(End of File) of the flat file so as to insert the records.
I have around 70-100 lines written to the file at each loop and there are more than 20k records to be looped. wihich means that at the end I should be having 1400k - 20000k line in the text file.
One solution would be to insert the records at the start of the file itself so that it does not has to lookup the EOF each time before writting.
Another would be to generate separate files and then merge it.
Any idea how can this can be done?
Beside this I have to zip the file and then SFTP to a given address.
Any suggestion or help would be welcome.

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 want to extract data from a table (based on a query) to a flat file.
So I have an OLE DB Source (data access mode SQL command) and then a flat file destination. The extract works finem except it extracts all table rows as one line in the file - whereas i want a separate line per DB record - what am I missing?
Thanks for any help!

I am trying to setup ssis data flow package to export a smalldatetime field to just date only. I have changed the dattype to datbase date [DT_DBDATE] AND ALSO [DT_DATE] but it still exports datetime format. What is the best and easiest way to setup flat file connection manager to only export date and not the time. Do I have to add another setup to convert to date only?

Hi,
I am trying to impliment a SSIS package where data source is a Flat file(.csv) file and destination is a sql server database.
The problem is my data source a flat file which consists of thousands of rows which are manually entered, so there is always a chance that in some rows they may miss a column value while entering data which results in an error.
Example: My flat file has headers like Sln, Name, Age, Designation. While entering data they may miss age and type it as 1,aaa,Consultant,,
Using SSIS package i want to track all row number in the flat file where data is entered wrongly so that i can correct only that row instead of checking all rows each time when my SSIS package throughs an error. I want to get all the row numbers in a sql server database which are wrongly entered.
Any suggestions are sincerly apriciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi there,
To put in context, we are using BizTalk to get the result from a stored proc and export it to a text file using a XML schema (XSD). The XSD includes formatting info such as the justification, padding, etc. We are moving this process to SSIS and we want to reuse the BizTalk schemas.
Is it possible?
Thanks

[Flat File Destination [46500]] Error: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "Column 0" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page." What does this error mean exactly?
I am taking columns from a flat file source. Then I am adding some new columns then rewriting the file to a ragged file format with fixed column values. I've taken the Destination component off and it works fine. So I know it could be the destination component but what could it be? Any ideas?
Each day I receive a file with a different name. For example, the name is filename_mmddyyyy.txt where filename_ stays constant and mmddyyyy is the date of the file. The file is always in the same format.
I want to build an SSIS where I pass it this file name. I can write a script to generate the correct file name. How do I build the SSIS so it can accept the input parameter and find the correct file to process?
Thanks
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?
Can we bulk insert only the desired column from a flat file to a table?
I am using SSIS to bulk insert from a file with more than 200 columns. I am trying to find a way I can bulk insert them to multiples table through SSIS.
The one way I can think is pre map the columns from the file to the destination tables. Build numerous Bulk Insert tasks to achieve that. But not sure if SSIS will let me do that.
I'm in the process of importing a series of flat files into SQL Server. I'm using a ~ to separate the columns and the row delimiter is {CR}{LF}. One of the files has a field that contains the CRLF combination in a few places so that field is split over several rows. This is readily visible when I look at the flat file. However, when I'm importing the file, the Import and Export wizard seems to ignore them and import the files as they should with one row per record.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem using the Flat File Source while using the underlying .Net classes to execute SSIS Packages. The issue is that for some reason when I load a flat file it Empty's out columns randomly. Its happening in the Flat File Source Task. By random I mean that most of the times all the data gets loaded but sometimes it doesnt and it empty's out column data. Interestingly enough this is random and even the emptying out of columns isnt a complete empty, its more like a 90% emtpying. Now you'll ask that is the file different everytime and the answer is NO. Its the same file everytime. If I run the same file everytime for 10 times it would empty out various columns maybe 1 of those times. This doesnt seem to be a problem while working with dtexec or the Package Executor utility. Need Help!!

I know i got to use for each loop task ADO.Net schema row set enumerator, with OLEDB connection manager, select table name or view name variable from access mode list, but the problem comes, as table name is dynamic then flat file connection is also dynamic, i am using visual studio 2013...
I am working to archive some old data from a data warehouse using SQL server and SSIS. The data will be read and denormalized, then shipped out to a delimited text file.
The rowcount of the incoming data is significant, call it 10M+ rows per unit of work (one text file).
There are development advantages of using a stored proc for the data source - mainly ease of changing the denormalization logic as required. Wondering if there are performance advantages of an embeded query for the data source instead?
It was mentioned by one developer that when using a stored procedure, the output stream from the proc and subsequent SSIS steps cannot start until the full procedure processing is complete; i.e. the proc churns out its' result set in one big chunk.Â
He hinted that an embedded query does not have this same effect, but I am not sure that is accurate.
