Hi,
I would like to know how to import in the custom delimited text file by using SSIS.
For example, instead by using tab or comma delimited, I use this character : '¶'
The reason is the delimited format that SSIS provided is too common such as colon, semi colon, tab, comma and pipeline.
I have the data that the user also key in the pipeline there. So I am thinking to separate the field by using this special character, but cannot see if there is anyway to import in by using SSIS.
Please help to share the solution on this :
A¶B¶C
1¶2¶3
thanks

Hi,
I have a tab delimited file I need to transfer to a table using SSIS. Columns can have NULL value and there might be extra tabs in each row also. How can I do this? Maybe fuzzy lookup?
Thanks
I have a pipe delimited flat file having column headers with varying length which needs to be inserted into tables:

in SSIS 2012 HUHDCJ JNJNFCDNCD JCDJCNDJNCDJNCJDNCJNDCN.
The data in second row contains multiple lines of data. which failed to map in SSIS 2012 flat file connection manager. but in SSIS 2005 its working fine.
Hi,
I need to write a reporting app that process daily IIS logs that are averaging about 299MB a day!
I am considering using SSIS to put the log data into a sql server 2005 database.
Has anyone done this? Or does anyone know if it is possible? And without using the MS LogParser?
Thanks in advance and any help greatly appreciated!

Hi,
I want to export data/records coming from the database and save it as a
.txt file but tab-delimited. The flow of my project is something this.
Web Form->SQL Database->Web Report->Tab-Delimited file.
I will explain more..What we want to do is an online application form.
We have a form and will save all the data to sql server database. We
also want to save all those information in a tab-delimited file. I
would like to save this first in the database(no problem in this part).
Then later on export this in tab-delimited file.
If you can give me a little bit tutorial of this i really
appreciated..Even 3 records can do as long i can see how to do
this..Ooops btw, i also want to name the .txt file as
(userid+transactionid).
Thank you very much!
So we have a field called forenames, and it needs to be split into fields forename_1, forename_2, forename_3, forename_4 (don't ask).
Ok, I've come up with this so far, which works, but is pretty nacky in my opinion. Has any one got a better way of achieving this?
SELECT forenames
, Replace(forenames, ' ', '.')
, Reverse(ParseName(Replace(Reverse(forenames), ' ', '.'), 1)) As [f1]
, Reverse(ParseName(Replace(Reverse(forenames), ' ', '.'), 2)) As [f2]
, Reverse(ParseName(Replace(Reverse(forenames), ' ', '.'), 3)) As [f3]
, Reverse(ParseName(Replace(Reverse(forenames), ' ', '.'), 4)) As [f4]
FROM ( SELECT 'John' As [forenames]
UNION SELECT 'John Paul'
UNION SELECT 'John Paul George'
UNION SELECT 'John Paul George Ringo'
) As [x]
Results
forenames (no column name) f1 f2 f3 f4
---------------------- ---------------------- ---- ---- ------ -----
John John John NULLNULL NULL
John Paul John.Paul John PaulNULL NULL
John Paul George John.Paul.George John PaulGeorgeNULL
John Paul George Ringo John.Paul.George.Ringo John PaulGeorgeRingo
Hi all

The log file for database 'Home_alone' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space.
Hi All,
One of the drives that stores the database file is close to running out of space. The chance of me getting more space added to this drive any time soon are really low. What are other options I have?
Thanks.

I executed the below query and getting the capacity values only for master database.All other DB shows NULL values for spaceused. I'm actually looking for a query to get all the capacity information other than using temp table and the procedures. Is there any way using SQL query ONLY.
select
db.[dbid] as 'DB ID',
db.[name] as 'Database Name',
af.[name] as 'Logical Name',
convert(decimal(12,2),round(size/128.000,2)) as FileSizeMB,Â
convert(decimal(12,2),round(fileproperty(db.name,'SpaceUsed')/128.000,2)) as SpaceUsedMB
from sys.sysdatabases db
inner join sys.sysaltfiles af
on db.dbid = af.dbid
Below is the output
DB ID Database Name
Logical Name FileSizeMB
SpaceUsedMB
1 master
master 4.00
3.44
1 master

hi all,
While importing a tab delimited file..
it seems ssis interprets the incoming col as 50 chars in length even
though it is far smaller.
any ideas how this could be??
any help would be appreciated.
used bcp utility to send data to output file in tab-delimited format (-t ), but headerfile is separate entity in this query.
when I set FILEheader = firstname,lastname...what must I use to change the comma to tab in the header string. I have tried various ways , {t}, [-t], and others. what am I missing?
Is there a faster way to create my pipe delimited BCP file, besides from creating a format file? Actually, my problem is that I am having issue with the file. It looks perfect, like:
Code Snippet
Marie|32|brown|single
Gay|33|black|married
But when I load it to DataStage it puts the entire row as one column. I already specified the | as the delimiter in DataStage. I think the issue is from the column collation. If my data is as simple as my example above, what column collation should i use for the format file? Currentyl, i have something like:
Code Snippet8.0
4
1 SYBCHAR 0 4 "|" 1 emp_id ""
2 SYBCHAR 0 4 "|" 2 emp_cand_id ""
3 SYBCHAR 0 4 "|" 3 emp_statusid ""
4 SYBCHAR 0 4 "
" 4 emp_type SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
I generated this through prompts given by BCP for each column. Then I changed the 2nd column values all to SYBCHAR and 0 prefix length..
I have a tab delimited file with 122 columns. Can any one let me know if there is a better way of parsing/extracting few columns (say about 15) from the file and loading it into a table using SSIS.
In my environment, there is maintenance plan configured on one of the server and while running DBCC checkdb on a database of size around 200GB, log file usage of tempdb is increasing and causing the maintenance job to fail.
What can I do to make the maintenance job run successfully, size of the tempdb database is only 50GB and recovery model is set to simple. It cannot be increased as the mount point on which it is residing is 50GB.
I created a table with 4 columns. I have a file on disk generated from an Excel spreadsheet. It is a comma-delimited CSV file. It has 4 columns corresponding to the ones I set up in the new table. How do I populate the table with data from the CSV file?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to upload a small Web application with a one table database. The hosting company, GoDaddy requires that I upload the database as a comma delimited file.
I created the database in Visual Web Developer Express but also have Visual Studio and SQL Server Management Studio Express.

This should be simple like it is in Access but that doesn't seem to be the case. This is holding up deploying my Web Application.

Hi,On SQLServer 2000, I have a table with a following structure:MYTABLEcol1 char,col2 date,col3 numberMy Objective:------------Externally (from a command line), to select all columns and write theoutput into a file delimited by a comma.My method:---------1. Probably will use OSQL or BCP to do this.2. Use the following syntax:select RTRIM(col1) +','+ RTRIM(col2) +','+ RTRIM(col3)from MYTABLE;My 3 Problems:-------------1) If there is a NULL column, the result of concatenating any value withNULL, is NULL. How can I work around this? I still want to record thiscolumn as null. Something like say from the example above, if col2 isnull, would result to: APPLE,,52) The time format when querying the database is: 2003-06-24 15:10:20.However, on the file, the data becomes: 24 JUN 2003 3:10PM. How can Ipreserve the YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format? Notice that I also lost theSS.3) Which utility is better? BCP or OSQL?For OSQL, it has a "-s" flag which gives me the option of putting acolumn separator. But the result is:"APPLE ,14 JUN 2003 , 5"I don't need the extra space.While for BCP, there is no column separator flag.You will notice from my inquiry above that my background in SQLServer isnot very good.Thanks in Advance!!RegardsRicky*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

I'm trying, through the SQL 2005 Mgt Studio, to export a simple table in a delimited format. I'm selecting a double quote as the text qualifier. My expectations were that only text type fields would be exported with the double quotes an numerical fields would not have any quotes around them. SQL 2000 does this just fine, but 2005 is exporting all my text type and numeric fields with double quotes. Is this a change to SQL 2005 or am I doing something wrong.
Thanks for the help,

Hello...
I have a problem... When I insert data from a comma delimited
file using this mehod a flat file connection sorting, merge join and
inserting into the database I get "" around all the data!! The
quotes end up around the column names and everything! I had to go
in and manually remove the quotes in the text file to get some of my
data conversions to work. I know there is a better way. How
do I get SSIS to load the data without the quotes? This is an
example of the data in the file:
"1007","1","A","","Congratulations - No Health Violations Found","11/02/2005","1007"
When I remove the quotes I do not have any problems. How do I
do this without modifying the underlying data? Any ideas would be
greatly appreciated!!
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
I am trying to export as a tab delimited text file. For that I have changed my config file as :
<Extension Name="TXT" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.CsvRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.CsvRendering">
<OverrideNames>
<Name Language="en-US">TXT (Tab Delimited Text File)</Name>
</OverrideNames>
<Configuration>
<DeviceInfo>
<FieldDelimiter>	</FieldDelimiter>
<Extension>TXT</Extension>
<Encoding>ASCII</Encoding>
<NoHeader>true</NoHeader>
</DeviceInfo>
</Configuration>
</Extension>
I got this code from another one of the MSDN forms. When I run the report and try to export using this format, it still gives me a csv file instead of tab delimited file.
Can someone please help me fix this code so I can get tab delimited text files.
Thanks a lot,

We'll be using 2014 enterprise to populate some excel spreadsheets. We may not have the option of using ssrs so here is the question.
The excel spreadsheets have some pretty fancy heading structures, multiple tabs and in a few cases graphs that i'm sure are dependent on data sitting somewhere in the spreadsheet. The heading have variable info in them (eg FYxx where xx is a parameterized fiscal year, month names etc). Sometimes those headings have sub headings (with variable info) and so on.
Generally speaking how (if at all) do folks deal with this kind of excel challenge when limited to using ssis? I don't know if templates are going to be a good idea. I don't know if i'll be looking at a fair amount of c# etc code behind the scenes. I can be more specific depending on the feedback.
This is part of a conversion from 2 of the larger BI and statistical tools out there to the MS sql stack. Obviously with some shortcuts that we may wish we didn't take. Â
Hello
I have this newbie question regarding SSIS:
I have a table named People(#Code, Name, eMailList), where the column eMailList has a list of email addresses separated by commas, like "someone@hotmail.com,someone@gmail.com,someone@yaho o.com".
I would like that for each Person, extract the email address info in such a way that I can insert into the following table: EMail(#Code, #ID, Address), where Address has a single email address.
How can I accomplish that?
Thanks a lot.
Hi,
I'm trying to deploy my Web site to GoDaddy. They told me I have to export the SQL Server Express database to a comma delimited file and then upload that file. The export procedure is simple in Access but I don't see any way to do it in SQL Server or from Visual Web Developer or Visual Studio.
Also, I can ask them, but I assume I have to export each table separately and also export the ASPNETDB as well.
Thanks for the help
