THE DEFINITIVE ANSWER: Import CSV Into SQL Server
Mar 15, 2004
Guys
Hunting high and low for the definitive answer to this query.
I need a system to enable the import of a csv file (trypically contacts exported from Outlook) into a SQL Server table unique to that user through a .aspx page.
At the first and most basic level I need to simply get the data into a table.
The ultimate goal though is to have a fully functioning system whereby the user can sync between the csv file and the database enabling them to upload the data for the first time then only update changes subsequently (new records/changes to existing records) etc.
1. Does anyone have code that does such a thing?
2. Does anyone know of a component/utility that can be purchased off the shelf.
3. Is there someone with the capacity to write such a module?
regards in anticipation
Andy.

I've searched the forum and saw that this question has been asked several times. However, none of the responses point to any documentation about this limit. We've got different groups bickering over this ("There is no limit!" "Yes there is!" "No there isn't!") and it would help to have a link on the MSDN or a response from Microsoft to this question to put this to rest once and for all. Also, if there is a limit, is that per Sql Server instance or per physical server?
Secondly, we currently have over 400 catalogs. We've noticed it takes 4-5 minutes for new data to show up in search results. Does the number of catalogs affect performance, or is it the amount of data, irrespective of catalog count?
Thanks

Hi, I've read conflicting articles on updating an ntext field in acolumn.My ntext field will exceed 8,000 characters (typically twice that size-- but just a text string).One article (I think from MicroSoft) said you could NOT use ntext inan UPDATE statement, but I've seen examples from other people usingit...but don't know if it's related to the size/characters issue.Is this true or not?Thanks very much...Kathy

(Isn't this fun? Type MAPI and SQL into Google and it almost tilts!)
Here is the situation:
1- When SQL Agent starts, it establishes a MAPI session. For some bizarre design reason, it keeps that session open as long as it is running, rather than re-opening the session when it has mail to send. (this can be days, weeks, or months)
2- Frequently, Exchange servers are clustered. When the virtual server moves to a different physical server in the cluster, - or the Exchange server is restarted for whatever reason - the (above) MAPI session of the SQL Agent gets jammed.
3- SQL Agent tries, and fails to send an E-mail saying (for instance) that a database dump has completed (etc.)
4- User posts a question to some forum, asking for help again.
My solution: I created a job to run on a daily basis to restart the SQL Agent, and re-establish the MAPI session. Voila!
The problem: Now we (sometimes) get the message:
[241] Startup error: Unable to initialize error reporting system (reason: The EventLog service has not been started)
This is incorrect - the service was never stopped!
*sigh* No hits in Microsoft or Google - Back to the drawing board.
SO: Can anyone think of a way to *test* the MAPI connection in a job step (without actually sending a message), so that the agent restart job is only executed if the MAPI connection is failing?

For several weeks I have been wrestling with this common problem! I could not connect to my SQL Server 2005 (express edition) server remotely.
I read all the documentation. I did days of research and found no solution! Many seem to have the problem, but none seem to have the answer! I followed every suggestion, including Microsoft's own instructions and NOTHING!
So, just on a whim, I tried something... and it worked.
In my connection string, I added the instance name... (DATA SOURCE=127.0.0.1SQLEXPRESS)
Crazy, but true.
I hope this helps anyone struggling with the same issue!

I'm wondering if there is any way for me to execute any type of command (delete, insert, create, alter, etc) on management studio without having to wait the server answer.
On Oracle, I use DBMS_JOB. On SQL Server, do I have to create a SQL SERVER Agent Job? What if I don't have permission to create that kind of jobs?

Hi all,
I apologize in advance for the lack of homework before posting, but I am just looking for a quick answer, or a quick point in the right direction to figure this out.
I have a developer from an adjacent team that wants to use Reporting Services in a SQL Server 2005 installation.
From what I found online during what I thought was a definitive search yesterday, I gave him the MSDN SQL Server 2005 DVD and told him that Reporting Services is now part of the standard installation. Which is what my brief search yesterday indicated to me.
He did the installation (full, according to him) and said he could not find Reporting Services.
So, the quick question is...
Where is Reporting Services in SQL Server 2005? I don't have a separate MSDN DVD that contains it as was the case on SQL Server 2000. This further supports my (wavering) position that it is part of the standard installation.
Thoughts? Direction? Collective kicks in the posterior?
Thanks!

I am trying to simplify a query given to me by one of my collegues written using the query designer of Access. Looking at the query there seem to be some syntax differences, so to see if this was the case I thought I would import the database to my SQL Server Developer edition.
I tried to start the wizard from within SQL Server Management Studio Express as shown in one of the articles on MSDN which did not work, but the manual method also suggested did work.
Trouble is that it gets most of the way through the import until it spews forth the following error messages:
- Prepare for Execute (Error)
Messages
Error 0xc0202009: {332B4EB1-AF51-4FFF-A3C9-3AEE594FCB11}: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft JET Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Could not start session. Too many sessions already active.".
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc020801c: Data Flow Task: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "SourceConnectionOLEDB" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc004701a: Data Flow Task: component "Source 33 - ATable" (2065) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020801C.
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard).
There does not seem to be any method of specifying a number of sessions, so I don't see how to get round the problem.
Does anyone know how I can get the import to work?

Unbelieveible!
I can not seem to find any source for questions database related that don't include using 2.0 controls just as the come out of the box!
HELP!!!!
Simple issue (or so it seems) but I can't get an anwer:
Example:
TextBox.Text has information that I want placed in a table in a sql database. So I build a SQLDataSource control, and the triggers to fire the insert method. I modify the InsertCommand of the SQLDataSource so that it will write my record to the table. Something like...
InsertCommand="INSERT INTO MyTable(Description, Status) VALUES ('TextBox.Text', 'Default New Record Status)"
Now... the problem is with 'TextBox.Text' . When formated as is. the text string TextBox.Text is inserted into a record in the target table. My problem, the simple one remember, is refering to the text string stored inside of TextBox.Text and have that value stored in the new row under the Description column.
I can't believe that no one can help with this simple problem. Once resolved then my page is done... this is ALL that holds it up and I can't find a reference to how to go about it.
Thanks,Ken....

"Falling back on cursors because they remind you of datasets will result in poor performance "
Hi, The above quote was from an article which advice to use store procedure and avoid T-sql in the body of a webpage.
Anyway, To me, I always use cursor when I want to process one row at a time. Is there an alternative to cursor in MS sql server to have similar results.?

Please suggest correct answer (A,B,C,D) for the following Question
You are developing an application for a worldwide furniture wholesaler. You need to create an inventory table on each of the databases located in New York, Chicago, Paris, London, San Francisco, and Tokyo. In order to accommodate a distributed environment, you must ensure that each row entered into the inventory table is unique across all location. How can you create the inventory table?
A.Use the identity function. At first location use IDENTITY(1,4), at second location use IDENTITY(2,4), and so on.
B.Use the identity function. At first location use IDENTITY(1,1), at second location use IDENTITY(100000,1), and so on.
C.CREATE TABLE inventory ( Id Uniqueidentifier NOT NULL DEFAULT NEWID(), ItemName Varchar(100) NOT NULL, ItemDescription Varchar(255) NULL, Quantity Int NOT NULL, EntryDate Datetime NOT NULL).
D.Use TIMESTAMP data type.

Give the suitable answer for the below question and explain the answer.
1.You have designed the database for a Web site (or online ticketing agency) that is used to purchase concert tickets. During a ticket purchase, a buyer view a list of available tickets, decides whether to buy the tickets, and then attempts to purchase the tickets. This list of available tickets is retrieved in a cursor.
For popular concerts, thousands of buyers might attempt to purchase tickets at the same time. Because of the potentially high number of buyers at any one time, you must allow the highest possible level of concurrent access to the data. How should you design the cursor?
(A). Create a cursor within an explicit transaction, and set the transaction isolation level to REPEATABLE READ.
(B). Create a cursor that uses optimistic concurrency and positioned updates. In the cursor, place the positioned UPDATE statements within an explicit transaction.
(C). Create a cursor that uses optimistic concurrency. In the cursor, use UPDATE statements that specify the key value of the row to be updated in the WHERE clause, and place the UPDATE statements within an implicit transaction.
(D). Create a cursor that uses positioned updates. Include the SCROLL_LOCKS argument in the cursor definition to enforce pessimistic concurrency. In the cursor, place the positioned UPDATE statements within an implicit transaction.

Hows does SQL server works internally:
What are his steps in the execution of a query?
Where/how does he storage the information while executing a query?
What type of Index he uses?
and so on ...
If anyone knows a website that contains this type of information about the SQL Server SGBD and could share it i would be most appreciated!

Hi,
I'm trying to write a "GetQuote" procedure with a single @Quantity parameter. The purpose of the query is to sum the total cost (price * quantity) of a given (quantity) given the available "Sale" items. The sale table has the following structure:
[SellOrderID] [uniqueidentifier] DEFAULT (newid()),
[OrderDate] [datetime] DEFAULT (getdate()),
[UserID] [nvarchar](50) ,
[SellPrice] [float] ,
[SellQuantity] [int] ,
[QuantRemaining] [nchar](10) NULL,
**QuantRemaining is the sell quantity remaining after existing partial trades on the Sell Order - intentionally denormalised.
A given quantity may be satisfied by multiple 'Sell Orders' and these should be processed from the lowest price first.
e.g. give the following:
SellOrderID QuantRemaining Price
A 100 $2.00
B 300 $3.00
C 200 $1.75
D 350 $2.50
GetQuote 400 should return:
Sum((200*$1.75)+(100*$2.00)+(100*$2.50))
I am relatively new to the DB game and am having problems creating a SQL statement to do this. If anyone has a solution for this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

For some reason I can't reply from within your message.
Make sure you have the same version of SQLserver and service pack on the SQL Server and the workstation you are trying to set up the package from, this is error due to different versions.
Your comand should look like: dtsrun /~S.... /~U ..... /~P ....

Hello
I have created a very simple DTS package to transfer data from one database to another on the same server. I am able to successfully execute the package from DTS. But if i try to schedule the package and run it from SQL agent it fails. The job that is created by the SQL agent appears as follows -
'DTSRun /~Z0x2939C85E61C391613034D42DC85BA5E18B1E12D06DC31F 242542405E07594E436B58219AC124F29B80EDEB464ACB52BA 977BF7A0E59BE9C183507AF7CDA9EB1033C1E04009EC5D4467 E1955FB83FA31BC185F4D4398F51F008BDE6677D23F9C5571A 4C3010B0ED1943C234'
and the error message i get is invalid switch .... DTS command invalid options
I have tried working with the /N and /!Y options and they dont work either. Can someone please tell me why is this problem occurring in the first place.

Hi all,
Nobody helped me on other SQL forums, I hope here people are better. Here is my problem : I'm trying to uninstall replication before to re-install it (2 servers working on Windows NT and SQL 6.5 SP5). On the publisher server, I chose Server/Replication Configuration/Uninstall Publishing, but then, I'm not able to re-install publication, as the 'Install Publishing' option is disabled. I've found somewhere on the web that I had to remove the distribution option from the system, which disables replication, with the sp_ServerOption stored procedure :
sp_ServerOption "myserver", "dist", false
then I've deleted the distribution database, but all this didn't change anything, the 'Install Publishing' option is still disabled. How can I get the option enabled ?
Thanks in advance if you can help me. Sorry for the English, it's not my native language.

I have a view based on few tables okay
I have a query that gives me document details of various revisions
Now i also get the latest rev of those if i use a MAX() in my Query
Now a case where i have say
Docu Numb - Revi - Received Date
Document1 - rev0 - 10/2004
Document1 - rev1 - 11/2004
Document1 - rev2 - 12/2004
Document1 - rev3 - 01/2005
Document1 - rev4 - 02/2005
Document1 - rev5 - 03/2005
Document1 - rev6 - 04/2005
Document1 - rev7 - 05/2005
If i query for latest it gives Document1 - rev7
And if i filter for a month of 12/2004
If i query for latest it should give Document1 - rev2
Now i need to get a filter with latest as rev2,
plus i also need as a indication of actual latest as rev 7
using a query
How do i do that ...
Coz when i use filter for a month and Max then it
does not consider rev7 for that filter and skip the record
and if i try to filter only as per month .. i get a wrong info
as latest rev2 which is not a true info as per database records.
May i possibly get both ... filtered info as per specific month and
also a rev info as what is the latest for a spec document.
Just i need to know is that possible .. in SQl using a query
Any more info needed please mail me on
