Importing Textfile Data To Existing Table (append?)
Jul 25, 2005I have an existing table I need to add data to. The data is in a text file, and the existing table already has data in it (I don't want to delete this I want to add to it).
I used Microsoft's import utility but this created a seperate table with generic fieldnames (column01, column02, ect). Is there a step in this wizard I missed?
Constant In SQL For DTS To Textfile
Jul 15, 2005In an effort to automate a process, I am trying to populate a csv textfile with data from a SQL Server 2000 database that will be imported by a proprietary database; however, not all of the data required to go into the textfile is available in the source db. Fortunately, the data I'm needing has constant values for the fields that I want to populate, i.e Lab Name. Whereas, the Destination database will receive data from other labs but not via this source.
Is it possible to use a constant rather than a db field within the SQL query to populate one of the textfile fields. (I placed "LABNAME" in where I would like it to go) A portion of my present SQL statement is:
Select LEFT([SAMPNAME], 4) AS IUNUM, RIGHT(LEFT([SAMPNAME], 8), 3) AS SITENUM, convert(varchar,[SAMPDATE], 112) as SAMPDATE, [BDL] AS "SAMPNUM", [ANALYTE], (CASE [STARTDATE]-[SAMPDATE] WHEN 0 THEN '2' ELSE '1' END) AS METHOD, convert(varchar,[STARTDATE], 112) as STARTDATE, [FINAL], [BDL], "LABNAME", [NOTES1], [SAMPLER], [ORDNO], [UNITS]
From [CUSTOMER]
As you can see, I have already done a lot of formatting within the statement but would appreciate someone's SQL expertise to tell me if using a constant is possible or not.
Thanks,

Bulk Insert From Textfile
Nov 17, 2006Hello,
I'm having the following situation. To exchange data between software-programs we have to use textfiles. These files are like: "2100880000095500400600000329000 00000329000 WNOW0121102B 1121". I have to cut the textfiles into lines of 256 characters. Next thing i have to do is cutting that line in chunks (by a defined structure) and use these chunks to insert them into colums in SQL Server. Example, the line above will become something like: "INSERT INTO table (21, 008800000955, '004006', etc, etc) ".
The code now is: i've opened a connection, and then I'm doing an INSERT per row, but when i have to insert 800.000 rows like this, it's a real bottleneck. Is there any way to perform the INSERTS quicker ?? By a bulk or something ?? Can anyone help me ??
Dumping Incremental Changes To Textfile
Jul 20, 2005I was wondering if there is a way to schedule a tast that will dump afixed width text file of all the new entries in a table. So if I hada table with likeusername - varchar(20)created - smalldatetimeI could get a weekly feed each week of all the new users in a textfile. I know I could write a script that would go through and do thisby looking at the time stamp, and the last time that the filepreviously ran and get the new dates but I was hoping there was abuilt way to do this. Or perhaps a more elegant solution.Thanks,Charlie
View 2 Replies View RelatedError In Transferring Data Textfile By DTS
Mar 25, 1999I ask for your help for problem of SQL Server 7 DTS .
I got 6 text data files extracted from a SQL server database Sale1 in Company A. I also got a script produced from Sale1 and run it in my company to build a SQL server database A_Sale which structure is the same as Sale1. Then, I transferred these files into my database A_Sale. I have successfully transferred three files (vlet, vlrl, and vlcv), without any trouble. But I met trouble for transferring other three files (vlcl, vlco, and vlpo). For example, the error messages are as:
"Error during Transformation 'DirectCopyXform' for Row number1. …Conversion invalid for datatype on column pair 12 (source column 'Col012'(DBTYPE_STR), destination column 'cl_dob' (DBTYPE_14))."
"Error during Transformation 'DirectCopyXform' for Row number 10825. …Conversion invalid for datatype on column pair 17 (source column 'Col017'(DBTYPE_STR), destination column 'c0_stchdt" (DBTYPE_14))."
- I don't understand why the datatype is not matched? The datatype is 'int' in both source column and destination column and the data for the source column is like 2533222. And, why the error caused for Row 1 for file vlcl and for Row 10825 for file vlco? How to correct the error?
Other errors I met like:
"Error at Source for Row number 24391. …Column Delimiter not found."
- I don't know how to avoid the error at source? My partner in companyA also cannot control to avoid the error, since the file extracted by SQL server.
"Error at Destination for Row number 531377. …Could not allocate space for object '(SYSTEM
table id:-269896619)' in database 'TEMPDB' because the 'DEFAULT' filegroup is full."
- Why the error caused for row 531377 and how to correct it?
Your help is greatly appreciated!

View 6 Replies View RelatedDTS - Import Flat Textfile Into Two Separate Tables
Jul 20, 2005I have a report that's created each day as a flat textfile.Because I came from the Access world, I created a macro that importsit with a schema that gives meaningful names to the various columns,and then uses a query to massage some of the data for me (deletes thefirst blank row and does a couple of calculations)Then I use DTS to import the Access query as a table.the textfile has a column called "File_num", and among several others,a column called "Serial_num". (the file numbers represent shipments,and sometimes there are more than one serial number in the shipment,etc., so there is a separate line for every serial number)Naturally, I would like to split this info into two tables..one thatdoes not contain the serial numbers and has a primary key on the"File_num" column, and another table that would contain just the"File_num" and "Serial_num" columns. That way I could relate themlater...but most importantly, it will give me a table where I can usethe "File_num" as my primary key.What would be the best way to import these two tables from one sourcetextfile? The other thing that gives me problems is that the textfile has no column names, and the first row is always blank.I'm very new to SQL and DTS and would appreciate any direction.Thanks,Larry- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -"Forget it, Jake.

View 1 Replies View Related64 Bit TextFile ConnectionString Unable To Dynamically Change??
Feb 8, 2006Hello,
On a 64bit Itanium cluster, I'm having a problem dynamically setting the ConnectionString of a TextFile Source using the "EvaluateAsExpression" = True and setting the ConnectionString using an expression from a variable. I get the error message:
-1073647612,0x,The result of the expression "@[User::vFullFilePath]" on property "ConnectionString" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property.
This is not a problem at all on a 32bit machine. I can run the same package on 32bit and it runs fine.
The funny thing is, I'm able to dynamically change the ConnectionString of a Logfile that we're writing all of the errors to, which I believe is using a TextFile Destination connection under the covers somehow (I'm using the SSIS Logging, to a textfile).
Can anyone confirm if this is a problem in 64bit?

Exporting A Table To Excel
Oct 5, 2001I'm trying to export a table from SQL7 to Excel. Only thing is that I'd like to specify the Excel spreadsheet filename at run time. The name of the spreadsheet needs to contain the current date e.g. "table1_20011005.xls", "table1_20011006.xls". Is there any way I can do this ? I've looked at DTS but it seems you need to specify the spreadsheet file name and cannot alter it.

Exporting From Old Table To New Tables
Sep 17, 2014I've been tasked with the following: Export data from old table, to newly created table(s). I say tables because there's three destination tables total, and only two source tables. The two old tables are virtually the same, so the new table will be a combination of the two. More importantly I'll need to chop out some data from the old tables and create new details with them. As you can see, the old table was very "flat" in the sense that they kept adding new fields for bits of detail data (10 for one type of detail, 15 for another type of detail). I'd like to house that data in separate linkable tables. This is an example of the old and new data structure:
OldTable1 (SOURCE)
Name | Acct | Detail1Min | Detail1Max | ~~~ | Detail10Min | Detail10Max | DiffDetail1Min | DiffDetail1Max | DiffDetail1Rate | ~~~ | DiffDetail15Min | DiffDetail15Max | DiffDetail15Rate |
OldTable2 (SOURCE)
Name | Acct | Detail1Min | Detail1Max | ~~~ | Detail10Min | Detail10Max | DiffDetail1Min | DiffDetail1Max | DiffDetail1Rate | ~~~ | DiffDetail15Min | DiffDetail15Max | DiffDetail15Rate |
| | |
| | |
VVV
NewTable (Destination)
AutoID | Name | Acct | TYPE | * Newly created field so I know which table it came from (OldTable1 or OldTable2?)
NewTableDetail (Destination)
AutoID | NewTableID | DetailMin | DetailMax |
NewTableDiffDetail (Destination)
AutoID | NewTableID | DiffDetailMin | DiffDetailMax | DiffDetailMax |
In the new data structure, the AutoID from the main table (NewTable) will link to the two newly created detail tables using NewTableID.

Error Exporting FoxPro 2.5 DOS Table To SQL Server
Mar 1, 2006Using the Import/Export Data Wizard, I'm trying to export a FoxPro 2.5 DOS (as dBase III) table of 15,000 records to SQL Server 2000. I keep getting this error message:
Insert Error, Column 32 ('PROG_START',DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), Status 6: Data Overflow.
Invalid character value for cast specification.
I have SQL Server create the table each time I run the wizard. The new table allows NULLS in this column and I made sure to overwrite the empty date fields in the FoxPro table with blanks to make sure it would result in NULL. Originally SQL Server tried to put this as SMALL DATETIME, but when I got the message earlier, I changed it to DATETIME.
Any suggestions?
