I have to import a flat file with commas and double quotes as the text qualifier in a SSIS package. However, when I try to import the data into a table, the data moves the information to right, therefore, the last field will capture mulitple fields worth of data. When I create the Connection Manager for the flat file, I have the format as [Delimited] and Text qualifier as ["]. I do not check the unicode button, but under Advanced, make each field a Unicode string [DT-WSTR]. I have included a sample of my data below.
I had a procdure in SQL 7.0 in which I am using both single quote and double quotes for string values. This proceudreused to work fine in SQL 7.0 but when I upgraded SQL 7.0 to SQL 2000, this proceudre stopped working. When I changed the double quotes to single quotes, it worked fine.

Hi, I am creating a flat file connection to a .csv file In the columns section of the flatt file connection manager editor, I am not sure why the texts in the .csv file are shown with double quotes arouond them. They do not have "" in the .csv file. Thanks
I have to use bcp to import two text files everyday for database update. The problem is that some of the character fields that are being imported have double-quotes and/or commas in them. When these are imported into the SQL Server tables additional double quotes are being added into these strings.

Hi i am importing data from table to flat file(csv). i have two problems 1. if a column has commas(,) it should not create a new column i.e the column in csv file can have commas 2.if a column has double quotes then csv file column should have double quotes. please help me.I am using derived column I dont know how to search double quotes in string.
I have written a little bit of VB.NET code that basically takes three strings, transforms them, and returns a single string to be stored in my table.
I am running into a strange problem, however... for some reason, a number of my processed rows are missing a pair of double quotes (").
The vast majority of the records are formatted properly, and have the double quotes in the expected locations.
The most frustrating thing about it is that I have included the offensive input strings in my Test.sql test script, and when I step through the entire routine, the return value is perfect...
i apologize for being the worst ever at posting questions here, please let me know if i can add anything
I have a lot of data coming in from CSV files. I have many CSV files (~20), with varying amounts of data- but some are quite large (largest file is ~230mb)
I'm trying to import it into a SQL database via SSIS, but the data is a little bit frustrating.
Many things to notice here - as well you can imagine some of the difficulties here.
After parsing, this data should have 4 columns-
Column1 Column2 Column3 Column4
Text From Vendor "Vendor Name, Inc." blah blah Next string <blank> 1234
The biggest problems stem from the double quotes mixed in with the comma because it is a comma delimited file with quotes as the text qualifier. The other problem is the double quotes with blank text ... which prevents me from doing a replace on the double quotes ... I think ...
What would be your suggestions to help me parse this out? (don't forget, some of these are large files with about 260,000 records- )
From Access97 I need to execute a SQL 7.0 stored procedure that accepts several input parameters. A few of these are strings that can have imbedded single and/or double quotes (used as feet and inch identifiers). I've tried extra double quotes around the string, square brackets etc. in every combination that I can think of, with minimul success.
I have a problem when trying to display an error message from sql server 2005 on a web page with an alert (javascript command).
The Sql server 2005 returns a message like:
Insert statement conflicted with foreign key constraint "bla bla". The conflict occured indatabase "databasename", table "tablename", column 'columnname'.
In sql server 2000 the error message is the same except all names (constraint, database, table) is in single quotation marks; just like the columnname in the above example.
Is it a configurable issue on the sql server. I would prefer not to solve this issue on a number of different web pages!
I've an issue with double-quotes in CSV file. One of the columns may contain this kind of value: "STATUS ""H"" "
I've got quote set to "
The file source fails on such records.
I found this thread and Scott tells us there that the file can't contain " in data.
Is this 100% correct?
I've got mutliple text columns and the pain is that I don't know which column might have these cases in future. To create a script means to write my own file parser for all files I use.
Hi All, I am facing quotes problem. Without using the quotes my query is running fine, but I need to use IIF condition so for that I need quotes adjustment.

How can I program BCP to output text items in double quotes (")? Here is an example (please try it) that trys to output some columns from a table to csv file. However, due to the existence of commas within the fields, the comma separation gets messed up.
------------------------------------ USE [MASTER]
IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM sysobjects WHERE name = 'mcg1') DROP TABLE mcg1 go
CREATE TABLE mcg1 (pkINT IDENTITY(1,1) ,Address_1VARCHAR(100) ,CityVARCHAR(100)) go
Exec Master..xp_Cmdshell 'bcp "SELECT Address_1, City FROM mcg1" queryout "C:mcg1.csv" -c -t,"'
------------------------------------ The output I get is below. You can see how the use of commas in the text makes the comma separate list all confused 100 Road1, Suburb1,BigCity1 200 Road2, Suburb2,BigCity2
Thus what I want is "100 Road1, Suburb1","BigCity1" "200 Road2, Suburb2","BigCity2"
You can do this OK in DTS by specifying the text identifier to be double-quotes. I do NOT want to use DTS and want to be able to do via a T-SQL procedure. Note that the real table I will export from has numeric datatypes and I would prefer NOT to wrap them in double-quotes too.
Thus, how can I alter the Exec Master..xp_Cmdshell command, to wrap each text field in double quotes. I may have to use a format file in which case please provide the format file too.
I am running into an issue with the SSIS when I try to load a CSV file that contains double quotes wrapped around a field (CSV files have double quotes when field contains a comma; example: "Streams, Inc")
i need to add the double quotes in all the records from start and end.
source data col1 col2 col3 col4 1 abdul this is email it was very good ,and very relative posts. Target data col1 col2 col3 col4 "1" "abdul" "this is email" "it was very good, and very relative posts"
I am writing a query to return some production data. Basically i need to insert either 1 or 2 rows into a Table variable based on a decision as to does the production part make 1 or 2 items ( The Raw data does not allow for this it comes from a look up in my database)
I can retrieve all the source data i need easily but when i come to insert it into the table variable i need to insert 1 record if its a single part or 2 records if its a twin part. I know could use a cursor but im sure there has to be an easier way !
Below is the code i have at the moment
declare @startdate as datetime declare @enddate as datetime declare @Line as Integer DECLARE @count INT
set @startdate = '2015-01-01' set @enddate = '2015-01-31'
I have a requirement to implement CDC for 50+ tables to implement incremental data changes warehouse/reporting rather than exporting the whole table data. The largest table is having more than half a billion records.
The warehouse use a daily copy of OLTP db (daily DB refresh). How can I accomplish this. Is there a downside in implementing CDC just for the sake of taking incremental changes on the tables?
Is there any performance impact if we enable CDC on OLTP db?
Can we make use of the CDC tables on the environment we do daily db refresh so that the queries don't hit OLTP database?
What is the best way to implement CDC to take incremental changes for reporting.
Hi: Got a newbie question that's been giving me fits! Basically I'm replicating what's going on here on this board...creating a "posting" interface that takes the "message" and inserts it into a table using an ADODB connection (using INSERT INTO table name,tablecells and VALUES)
However, if someone types in a single or double quote in the body of the message, I get an error similar to this:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 's'.
/test.asp, line 29
I think I understand why it's happening (SQL is interpreting the quote mark as a string-end), but what am I supposed to do to get around it?
I've got a flat file data source, that is to large to edit with most Windows apps on my server that contains both single and double quote characters that I need to load in a varchar column.
So I attempted to do it with a Replace in data transformation, but I can't get SSIS to allow me to use a variable or pair of single or double quotes within the replace.
If I don't replace the single quote characters with a pair then the records containing these characters all end up in my failed records output file.
Here are 5 example property legal descriptions from my FLAT FILE data source:
COM 441'6" N OF SW/C OF NW4 OF SEC 22-29-20 ELY1340' N200' CROSSING THE CNTR OF TR AT 100 WLY1240' S200' TO POB CONTAINING 6 3/10 ACRE MOL
N 50' OF S 330' OF W 122' OF E 735' OF SW4 OF NE4 OF SEC 28/28/18 A/K/A LOT
All of a sudden hen I script out a Stored Procedure it encloses strings (edit) in Double Quotes?
For example ANDPromo.[Group] IN (''FL_Small'',''FL_Large'')
Also it generates this code that I do not want. I just was Create Procedure...
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[usp_IncentiveReport]') AND type in (N'P', N'PC')) BEGIN EXEC dbo.sp_executesql @statement = N'
Msg 209, Level 16, State 1, Line 8 Ambiguous column name 'PartNrFabrikant'. Msg 209, Level 16, State 1, Line 8 Ambiguous column name 'omschrijving'. Msg 209, Level 16, State 1, Line 8 Ambiguous column name 'verkoopprijs'. Msg 116, Level 16, State 1, Line 13
Only one expression can be specified in the select list when the subquery is not introduced with EXISTS.
