Transfering Text File Of Records In To SQl Server Table

Dec 15, 2000

Jitender Singh at 12/15/00 3:41:02 PM

Hello

I am writing program in VC++ through SQl-DMO calls.My problem is when i when i tranfer(import) a text file(comma seperated) into SQl server through a SQl-DMO method called ImportData which is a method of Bulk copy object.Its is not able to convert the data field in the text file to corresponding value datetime in SQl server whereas other data types are working perfectly.


This is the record i need to convert:

90,MichaelB,Wintriss,Inspection,Paper,11,Job101,1, {ts '2000-12-10 15:54:56.000'},D:public233 and 247233.mcs,

There are about 1000 records like this .the text file is generated by SQl when i export data from Sql server tables.This file has lot of records.Now i need to put the record in the text file into SQl server tables.During which when i pass the text file it gives problem in converting date and time value.I cannot remove the bracket and ts as ,{ts '2000-12-10 15:54:56.000'} it generated by SQl server tables

and this is the date field
{ts '2000-12-10 15:54:56.000'}

Whereas if i export a table in SQl server in Binary mode and then import the file back it works but when do it as text it gives the above error

Pls help me in this i would be very thankful to you.

Note: I am using SQL Server 7.0 version

SSIS Excel Into Table Or Text File (dont Ask)

Jan 30, 2008

I have an excel file source, that has a column that is a date column, although the group puts in more that just a date sometimes: example (11/1/2007) or (Sold), the problem is I cant get SSIS to ever see anything but the date, for the cells that have Sold shows me null, or blank when doing a view. Any thoughts??? I am starting to hate excel more and more.

Read Text File From Flat File Connection Manager SSIS

May 13, 2008

Hello Experts,
I am createing one task (user control) in SSIS. I have property grid in my GUI and 2 buttons (OK & Cancle).
PropertyGrid has Properties like SourceConnection, OutputConnection etc....right now I am able to populate Connections in list box next to Source and Output Property.

Now my question to you guys is depending on Source Connection it should read that text file associated with connection manager. After validation it should pick header (first line of text file bases on record type) and write it into new file when task is executed. I have following code for your reference. Please let me know I am going in right direction or not..
What should go here ?
->Under Class A

public override DTSExecResult Execute(Connections connections, VariableDispenser variableDispenser, IDTSComponentEvents componentEvents, IDTSLogging log, object transaction)

{

//Some code to read file and write it into new file

return DTSExecResult.Success;

}


public const string Property_Task = "CustomErrorControl";

public const string Property_SourceConnection = "SourceConnection";



public void LoadFromXML(XmlElement node, IDTSInfoEvents infoEvents)

{

if (node.Name != Property_Task)

{

throw new Exception(String.Format("Invalid task element '{0}' in LoadFromXML.", node.Name));

}

else

{

try

{



_sourceConnectionId = node.Attributes.GetNamedItem(Property_SourceConnection).Value;



}

catch (Exception ex)

{

infoEvents.FireError(0, "LoadFromXML", ex.Message, "", 0);

}

}

}

public void SaveToXML(XmlDocument doc, IDTSInfoEvents infoEvents)

{

try

{

// // Create Task Element

XmlElement taskElement = doc.CreateElement("", Property_Task, "");

doc.AppendChild(taskElement);

// // Save source FileConnection

XmlAttribute sourcefileAttribute = doc.CreateAttribute(Property_SourceConnection);

sourcefileAttribute.Value = _sourceConnectionId;

taskElement.Attributes.Append(sourcefileAttribute);

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

infoEvents.FireError(0, "SaveXML", ex.Message, "", 0);

}

}

In UI Class there is OK Click event.

private void btnOK_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

try

{



_taskHost.Properties[CustomErrorControl.Property_SourceConnection].SetValue(_taskHost, propertyGrid1.Text);

btnOK.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK;

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

Console.WriteLine(ex);

}

#endregion

SSIS And UTF 16 Big Endian Text File

Mar 6, 2008



Hi,

I'm attempting to import a UTF-16 BE (Big Endian) encoded text file via SSIS. The column delimiter is comma, and the row delimiter is a {LF}.

When I select the file in the "Flat file connection manager editor", the Unicode checkbox is automatically checked, the Format option is "Delimited"; I change the header row delimiter to {LF}, and check the box 'column names in first data row.

I then click on the "Columns" tab, change the row delimter to {LF}, and hit refresh, however the error comes up that the delimiter could not be found in the file.

The file does contain the UTF-16 BE Byte Order Mark.

If I convert the file to UTF-16 LE (Little Endian), the file is read successfully, with {LF} being detected as the row delimiter.

Two questions:
- Does SSIS support import of text files that are UTF-16 BE encoded?
- If yes, how can I get this to work.

I found an error message in the Books Online, when I searched for Endian
"HResults.DTS_E_UTF16BIGENDIANFORMATNOTSUPPORTED Field - The file format of UTF-16 big endian is not supported. Only UTF-16 little endian format is supported."
Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS (in microsoft.sqlserver.manageddts.dll)


However, I'm not sure as to what the above error applies to.



Thanks,
RS

SSIS Import Text File To SQL Server With Nulls?

Jan 23, 2007

I have a text file I am trying to import into SQL Server using OLEDB connection.

It's a fixed field text file, ragged right format. One of my columns maps to a numeric column in the DB. In some spots in the file, it is blank, in others there is actual numeric data.

I can't get it to import. If I set the text file column to numeric, I get an error "That value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data." If I set the text file column to string, I get a similar error from the OLE DB provider, "Invalid character value for cast specification"

I have tried telling it to retain nulls in the data flow and the other way as well. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Dynamically Configure Text File Destination In SSIS

Feb 7, 2008

Good Afternoon,

So this one has been bugging me for a while and I am ready to punt...

Is it possible to dynamically create a text file destination in SSIS and then pump the results of a query stored in a variable to this text file?

So my package looks like this
1) SQL task that pulls back a list of tables to be exported
2) For Each Loop ADO enum that passes the table name to a SQL Task that builds the select...ie select * from <DTS.Variables()>
3) Data flow task that sets the command from variable from step 2
4) Text File destinaiton that is built using a varable as the connectionstring

I am delaying validation in steps3 and 4 above without any luck...basically I am curious if i can even do what I am thinking I should be able to do here...I get as far as getting metadata errors because SSIS can't seem to handle dynamically filling the pipeline with the columns from the variable/SQL statement.

Am I missing something? Is this possible?!

Thanks in advance.
Dave

How To Import In Special Character Delimited Text File By Using SSIS ?

Sep 26, 2007

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
best regards,

SSIS Flat File Text Qualifier Only Works On Some Machines!

Jan 3, 2008

I have made a package that reads a text file into a table.

The data in the file is roughly as follows.


1, "a", "b,c,ddddd", 4, "ee", 0 with the column sizes int, 1, 50, int, 2, int

On all the desktop Bids environments and a SQL 2005 instance on windows server 2000 the package runs fine.

on the 2 Windows server 2003/SQL 2005 machines a truncation error occurs on col 5.

What is happening is on these machines the text qualifier is being ignored and column 5 is reading as ddddd instead of ee!

I figured this out by changing all fields to text and seeing what came out of the other end.

It is very, very strange and I've hit a brick wall.

If Anyone has any ideas throw them in the mixer please?

Cheers,

Steve

SSIS Newbie Question - Get Strings From Text File Into A Variable

Aug 23, 2007

HI All. I'm trying to tweak the Transfer Logins task to exclude Windows Logins that are local to the Server (e.g. servernameusername) which obviously can't be transferred off the server. Annoying that we have a couple of local Logins on this system instead of all Domain Groups, but we're stuck with them due to firewall issues, and a policy excluding SQL Logins.

My idea is to create a text file as part of my Package that lists Logins to be Excluded From the Transfer - I think I then need to create a New File Connection to the Text File as a Connection Manager, then somehow get that data into a Variable, and then use an Expression to populate the 'LoginsList' Collection from syslogins where loginame not equal to logins in my textfilevariable?

Or maybe I'm over complicating this, and there's an easier solution? Lots of info in Books Online about Expressions and Variables, but having trouble finding examples that I can use. As a DBA, this is my first foray into SSIS, and as you can possibly tell, I'm floundering....

Moving Text File Properties For Sql2k Dts To Sql25k Ssis Packages???

Jun 2, 2006

Hi everyone,

We€™ve got almost 250 old dts packages which simply loading data into Sql tables from plain files or at the reverse point. Most of them are defined with fixed fields and its fixed positions one after one. We don€™t want to migrate them using Import wizard, on the contrary we€™re producing them from the beggining taking advantatge of SSIS architecture to the full.
And now, we€™re trying to imagine how to migrate automatically that valuable info from Sql Server 2000 to Sql Server 2005 without efforts€¦ You know, any program be able to move that detailed info
to SSIS.

So we would avoid to select again all these positions per each file -very tedious and we're lazy


I don€™t see how except, of course, migrate them directly

Let me know if you need further explanations or more clarity on that.

SSIS Data Flow Task Fails To Load All Text From Flat File

Jan 2, 2007

Hi Guys,

I
have a flat file which is loaded into the database on a daily basis.
The file contains rows of strings which I load into a table,
specifically to a column of length 8000.

The string has a length of 690, but the format is like 'xxxxxx xx xx..'
and so on, where 'xxxx' represents data. So there are spaces, etc present in the middle.

Previously
I used SQL 2000 DTS to load the files in, and it was just a Column
Transformation with the Col001 from the text file loading straight to
my table column. After the load, if I select len(col) it gives me 750
for all rows.

Once I started to migrate this to SSIS, I
allocated the Control Flow Task and specified the flat file source and
the oledb destination, and gave the output column a type of String and
output column width of 8000. But when I run the data flow task it
copies only 181 or 231 characters out of the 750 required.
I feel it stops where it finds the SPACES and skips the rest.

I
specified row delimiters or CR, and LF. I checked the file under
UltraEdit and there were no special characters in the file that would
cause the problem.

Any suggestions how I can get it to load the full data?

Thanks

DTS Text File To SQL Table

Apr 6, 2004

Hello,

I have an access database (access 95 Version7)dumping a delimited text file onto my server. I am then using DTS in SQL 2000 to import the file into a table.

My issue is that each time the DTS runs, it imports the whole text file each time, this is causing duplicate records.

So I created a transformation script as follows :

Function Main()

If DTSSource("counter") <= DTSDestination("counter") Then
Main = DTSTransformStat_SkipRow
Else

DTSDestination("counter") = DTSSource("counter")
DTSDestination("serialdata") = DTSSource("serialdata")
DTSDestination("serialdata1") = DTSSource("serialdata1")
DTSDestination("date") = DTSSource("date")
DTSDestination("time") = DTSSource("time")
Main = DTSTransformStat_OK

End If
End Function


The theory behind the If statement, is if it sees that the counter field is less than or equal to what is there, it will skip the record and move forward. For some reason this is not working.

Does anyone have a workaround or another solution to this problem

Integration Services :: How To Read A Specific String From Text File As Output Variable In SSIS

Nov 5, 2015

I am downloading a webpage as a text file in order to read a specific string to assign it as a variable/parameter in order to create an output file name. I would like to know how would I be able to look for a specific string and output as another variable for the rest of the package.
