I'm trying to import a text file into a table. The table has a nullable bit field. The corresponding field in the file has Y/N rather than 1/0. I'm getting an error on that column "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.". So I'm assuming I need to convert the Y/N to a 1/0 under the "derived columns" step. Is that correct and can someone tell me how to do that exactly?
Thanks

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem importing a table using DTS from DB2. It seems that SQL Server can't recognize the DB2 "Date" format (eg 07/25/2001), which includes no time element. I assumed that SQL Server would simply throw a 12:00 AM time on each date it encountered, but instead I get errors, and the fields aren't imported at all. Any ideas on how I can get SQL Server and DB2 to play nice while importing the date fields? Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I'm importing data from an Access table and, of course, one field is a primary key. This field needs to be an autonumber. The problem is the data I'm importing isn't sequential.
Can I import the data, then alter the table to make the column increment or is there a way to create the table and make the field increment, but import non-sequential data?
HELP!
Thanks,

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm importing a csv file into sql server and everything is working fine however here are my problems.
The csv file fields contain some money fields and even though my db column type is money the dts package console complains that my data type from the csv is of type string 'for the money value' and cannot be inserted into the db field because they don't match. I changed the db field to nvarchar and hey presto it works fine. Problem is that this is no good because the data in the db is no longer a money value and therefore I cannot query the way I should.
So basically how do i map my csv to pass its values as the right types instead of just string values. If this was in c# i could just assign the parameter types accordingly but I'm not sure how to with sqlservers dts package.
Any help!!!!!

Problem importing data from flat file into decimal(9,2) field. The data in the flat file is 000001453 and I am copying it to a decimal(10,2) field and instead of showing up in the 0000014.53 it comes across as 0001453.00. I tried defining the input columns a few different ways but none seemed to work. How do I do this with SSIS or do I need to write a SP and use convert? Thanks.

Hi guys
I need help, I am building an Intranet for my company, and we have a system here that we use to clock in and clock out, and the data is stored in an Access database. Now the HR manager needs to run a report weekly for all the temps to see what time they clocked in and out. I have designed a web form where he puts in the date from and date to and select the employee, BUT the problem is I'm using SQL Server, I import the Access database to SQL every morning. Now I need to know How can I have Job in SQL that will import the data automatically without me having to do it manually every morning.
How do I do this using SSIS and DTS I'm using SQL Server 2005.
Thanx guys, plz help

Hi am trying to import data from a excel file into my 2005 DB using a SSIS package.
This first thing i've done is create a Excel source and then a derived column task as i need to format my date, so am using substring to format the date but the expression am using will not work am geting a error on it
the data in the excel file is like 8122007
here is my expression
substring(date,1,1) +"/"+ substring(date,2,2) +"/"+ substring(date,4,7)
Any idea i think it's something got to do with the data type
I can use MS Access to import an XML file and it builds the columns and loads the data. I am trying to use SQL Server 2005 to do the same thing and there doesn't seen to be a way to easily accomplish the same task that works so well in Access.
Has anyone tried this? If so and you were successful, what were the steps to set up the package?
Thanks.
Dear friends,
I am trying to import dbf files (which were located in one directory) to SQL Server 2005. All are same structure. So I have to import all files into one single table of SQL Server 2005.
ISSUE 1: dBASE is not supporting directly by 2005 .
DETAILS: 2005 is not allowing directly dBASE files to import but one way I found i.e changing extendend properties in connection manager. But this is for single file only. I have to import all files located in directory.
ISSUE2: Same destination table is not allowing by 2005
DETAILS: All dbf files are having same structure. I have to import them into single table of SQL Server 2005. But it is giving the error while I am using SSIS wizard like "same destination is not allowed and destination table must be unique"
So, plz help me to resolve this issue.

I can't import a package from the SSIS to the file system of my SQL Server Management Studio. Every time i've tried the following message appears. What should i do to correct this problem? Any ideas?
===================================
Invalid access to memory location. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800703E6) (Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS)

In SQL 2000, I had a working DTS package that would import a Pervasive SQL database into SQL 2000 (There is a good reason, provided on request). The column type definitions came over just fine in SQL 2000 with a few minor changes.
In SQL 2005 (SSIS), i create a Data Source via the Connection Manager (Provider: .Net ProvidersOdbc Data Provider) to the Pervasive database (System DSN, <database_odbc>). I then create a Data Destination via the Connection Manager (Provider: Native OLE DBSQL Native Client) to the SQL database. Both databases reside on the same machine.
I've created a DataSource Reader and used the sql command, "select * from ARCustomer" as an example. The issue is with "data types" for the columns. They don't come close to resembling the results that i had in SQL 2000 DTS.
Is there another method or parameter setting that will preserve the "data types" for the columns being imported from the Pervasive database.
This has been a real stumbling block and any help would be truly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your assistance ... Bernie
Okay... I am now about to pull my hair out: something that worked VERY EASILY in Server 2000 doesn't seem to work at all in 2005. I am trying to pump an Excel table into a 2005 database. I go into the Visual Studio Integration Services Project (this is so much easier... cynicism) and set up a project. I have my data source (Excel), I have my destination (SQL Natve Server, database). I set it up the same way that it worked (perfectly) in DTS and I run it... it grinds away and reports back that all is well... no errors. I go looking for the table... not there. I try with an SA login VS windows authentication... not there. I try with a different table... no there. I try with a different database... not there.
I am certain you can imagine the frustration... that is, if you are a user, not a programmer at Microsoft.
Okay, okay... I won't launch in to abuse here... but hey, how do I make this very complicated process now work?
Thanks...
I want to read data from a XML into SQL Server database tables "tour" and "stop".
There is a 1:n relation between tour and stop.
(a shortened XML sample, relation Tour : Stop = 1 : n)
<Tour>
<Mandator>mein kunde</Mandator>
<TourNoPlan>TNP_1</TourNoPlan>
<TourNo>1</TourNo>
<Stop>
<StopNo>SN_1</StopNo>
<GPSGeoDec>+8.0000,+48.0000</GPSGeoDec>
</Stop>
<Stop>
<StopNo>SN_2</StopNo>
<GPSGeoDec>+8.3000,+48.5000</GPSGeoDec>
</Stop>
</Tour>
I am able to insert elements from <Tour> into the table "tour" with the data flow in the Integration Services. But I need the values from the tag <TourNoPlan> in the rows for the table stop (it is the foreign key) in the second step. How can I get the values in the SSIS from the <Tour> in the dataflow for the different <stop>? It is a hierarchicle structure - normal for a XML. Is there a sample for reading such a XML into a Database? I have tried it with [Tour::TourNoPlan] or similar, but it was wrong. Second try was setting a UserVariable in the tour dataflow to the actual value of the TourNoPlan and using it in the data flow for the stop tags - but only a setting in a script at PostExecution was possible - to late.
I think a very simple problem and the same for each XML Import. Any ideas ???
Thanks and Best regards

I am going to set up a new SSIS package that will import data into 5 different tables on a SQL Server database. Â The source of the data is on another SQL Server and I will use to select the data. Â If one of the tables fail to import I do not want the SSIS package to import any of the data.What is the best way to create this package? Â Is it best to create one SSIS package, with five data flow tasks that are linked to each other. Â Within each data flow task, is a Source and Destination to transfer the data to each table. Â
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm currently trying to pull data from a ProvideX database and replicate it in a collection of SQL Server tables. However, I'm having a heck of a time trying to convert some strange decimals stored by the ProvideX database. As an example of the data I'm trying to retrieve, I'll see something like [. 1] or [. 1] ([]'s are to show the bounds of the field). After analyzing the data, it seems the decimal in the field represents a 1,000 placeholder. Thus [. 1] really means 1, and [. 1] really means 10. Something like .100 would be 100. 6.500 would be 6500.
As you can imagine, the spaces are causing errors when trying to pull the data, and I can't for the life of me figure out to just pull it as a string, run a script to convert it to a correct number, and then save the transformed data into SQL Server. When running the import wizard, it seems I'm being forced to pull these columns as decimals. Currently I'm trying to just pull the data out "as is" and throw it in a raw file, to be processed out of SSIS. Obviously doing it all within SSIS would be ideal, but if that can't be done, I'll do whatever it takes. I should also say I'm new to SSIS packages, but not necessarily new to SQL Server or SQL in general.
1) How can I pull these columns as strings? If I try to change the Export columns in the source query data flow step, it gives me an error saying that I can't do that.
2) If I have to pull as decimals, how can I capture the row on error, process it, and send it back to the export? So far, when I get an error, I lose all information in the row to the right of and including the error field.
I appreciate any responses, as I'm kind of going in circles at this point. If this sort of thing has been discussed here prior, I apologize...I didn't find it in any searches I did. Please just point me in the right direction if you've dealt with this sort of problem before. It seems to me that it should be an easy thing to do. I'm just not finding any tutorials on it.
hi,
i am importing files using SSIS but i notice that attributes that are empty are imported as ZERO lentgh character instead of NULL.
is there some option that i can choose for maintaining nulls instead of a char() type? i though this was the default setting with DTS.
many thanks,

If I have an XML without an XSD what is the best way to create and import data in SQL Server? I know I can use xsd.exe to create an XSD from my XML.
But if I want my structure to be somewhat different in SQL server how would I go about creating a reliable and repeatable import system for my data so i can easily manage the data updates?

I saw this post by dterrie in the Wishlist thread and I just wanted to second it:
"How about bringing back a simple dBase import. The SSIS guys are clearly FAR out of touch with reality if they think people who handle data no longer need to work with dbf files. I've seen alot of dumb stuff in my day, bit this is just sheer brilliance. I just love the advice of first importing into Access and then importing the Access table. Gee, why didn't I think of such a convenient solution. I could have had a V-8."
I've been struggling with this the last couple days and finally decided to import the dBase III file into Access and then import that into SQL Server 2005. Imagine my surprise when I discovered this was the current recommended method.
That's just ridiculous. Can someone tell me why they would reduce some of the functionality of SQL Server from 2000 to 2005? This was a very easy process in SQL Server 2000...
