Generally bulk insert is used to insert bulk data from flat files or csv files into database tables. Thats good. But while inserting the data into table, if the schema of the table changes (say a column is added or removed) then are there any options for inserting the same data, with some changes, into the database table...
My work is to take backup of the tables and insert them to a new database with some changes in schema like adding a column or removing a column.
load-option : CHECK CONSTRAINTS { ON | OFF } | DEFAULTS { ON | OFF } | DELIMITED BY string | ESCAPE CHARACTER character | ESCAPES { ON | OFF } | FORMAT ASCII | QUOTES { ON | OFF } | STRIP { ON | OFF } | WITH CHECKPOINT { ON | OFF }
or should we change the pre processing of our log files ??
I am trying to use the 'Bulk Insert' command to load a data file into aMS-SQL db. The line I am using is:Bulk Insert SVC_Details From "C:XFILE.TXT" With (FieldTerminator = ',')I have tried the file name with " around it and with ' around it and boththe " and ', but every time the Query Analyzer comes back with the followingerror:---Begin Error Msg---Server: Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Could not bulk insert because file ''C:XFILE.TXT'' could not be opened.Operating system error code 123(The filename, directory name, or volumelabel syntax is incorrect.).---End Msg---I am not sure what is wrong with this line. Can any one tell me what iswrong?Mikem charney at dunlap hospital dot org

Hello, I am trying to bind a sqldatasource control to the gridview. I have selected the sqldatasource control and specified the connection string, on configure Select statement page under advanced options both the check marks Generate INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE Statements Use Optimistic Concurrency are disabled for me.I have a proper SQL Server database not an express data base, how do i get to generate the InserCommand, EditCommand etc Any help would be great .. relatively new here thanks
Advanced SQL generations options: generate INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements is all greyed out? in my sql data source control.? I have made a brand new instance with sql server management express....have I missed something?
Why did Microsoft release a replacement for MSDE called SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Options without the SQL Agent? I bought into the MSDE and got rid of the other databases we supported now we have to go a create an equivilent to the SQL Agent for a) scheduled jobs b) backup automation. c) etc.
Does anybody really want a database that does not have these built in? I understand I can do these myself but this seems to defy logic to me?
I would like redistribute SQL 05 EPRX in a small application; trying something other than Access database. I have the program written and I have query that requires the advanced ad hoc queries setting to be one. I am wondering if anyone can point me to an article that explains how I can adjust these settings so they will install through my setup file properly.
I have added several SqlDataSource controls to my C# project, but when I try to configure them, there seems to be a lot of greyed out buttons. Either the WHERE, ORDER BY, and ADVANCED buttons are greyed out, or when they are active, the ADVANCED button always displays the advabced options which are always greyed out. I doesn't make any sense to me. Please explain (in baby language please)
In SQL 2000, the following message is logged to the NT event log every time the sp_configure 'show advanced options' command is executed. This did NOT occurr in SQL 7.
"Error: 15457, Severity: 0, State: 1 Configuration option 'show advanced options' changed from 1 to 1. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install."
Does anyone know if I can turn OFF the event logging of this message. It is confusing to the end users of our product that uses SQL 2000 as a back-end. Some of our product's code issues the sp_configure command that causes this message. It shows up as an informational message, but then the first word in the text is "Error:". I think I'll be getting a lot of support calls about this if I can't figure out a way to make it stop writting this to the event log :(
Any insight or suggestions would be most appreciated.
I'm just learning SSIS and I've hit my first bump. I am doing a bulk import from a tab delimited text file to an empty sql table that has a Idendity column defined. How do I tell the bulk insert task to skip that column when inserting from the text file. If I remove the identity column it imports the data fine, but I want to create the indentity column in the table too.
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON SET ARITHABORT ON SET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL ON SET ANSI_NULLS ON SET ANSI_PADDING ON SET ANSI_WARNINGS ON SET NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT OFF
before I do a bulk load because the table I am inserting into has an indexed view created on it. Whats the best way to set these options prior to a bulk load?
Hi All, Please some one help me... I have to insert a csv into one table in sql server. But the problem is the file is in one server and SQL SERVER 2005 is in other server.. how do i insert the file.... please help me.....
Hi, I'm looking into the idea of building an enhanced version of dtexec.exe that builds in some extra logging features. My utility will execute packages using the Package.Execute() method.
Thing is, I'd still want to support all of the command-line options that dtexec supports. For example, my utility should accept "/set package.variables[myvariable].Value;myvalue" and pass it through to the executing package but I can't find a way of doing it using Package.Execute().
Am I missing something or is this just not possible?
I have to update a field within a table of 60 records or so. Each record has a different field value. it's type varchar. i was given an excel file with the field values and was thinking of a bulk update like bulk insert, but i don't recall that it's possible that way.
Is the only way to create a table, bulk insert, then merge the two tables together with UPDATE?
Just wanted to see if there was an easier way to do it, otherwise i'll take the latter route. Thanks!
It installs the SQL Server and Reporting Services. It configures (creates Virtual Directories for report server and database) but it is not initializing the Report Server.
Having done the installation when i check the Report Server Status it was running and everything seems to be OK except it wasn't initialized.
I have a table containing 8 million records. I need to replace 2 million of these records with a scaled down query that goes something like: SELECT 1, ShareholderID, Assets1 FROM MyTable (Yields appx. 200,000 recods) SELECT 2, ShareholderID, Assets2 FROM MyTable (Yields appx. 200,000 recods) . . . SELECT 10, ShareholderID, Assets1 + Assest2 + Assets3 + ... + Assets9 FROM MyTable (Yields appx. 200,000 recods)
Updates and cursors just seem to be too slow.
So far I have done the following, but was wondering if anyone could think of a better way. SELECT 6 million records that don't need to be deleted into a #TempTable Use statements above to select into same #TempTable DROP and recreate Original Table SELECT 6 + 2 million records INTO original table.
This seems rather convoluted. Is there a better approach? Would it be worth while to dump data to a file and use bcp / Bulk Insert
i am using visual web developer 2005 and SQL 2005 with VB as the code behindi am using INSERT command like this Dim test As New SqlDataSource() test.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("DatabaseConnectionString1").ToString() test.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text test.InsertCommand = "INSERT INTO try (roll,name, age, email) VALUES (@roll,@name, @age, @email) " test.InsertParameters.Add("roll", TextBox1.Text) test.InsertParameters.Add("name", TextBox2.Text) test.InsertParameters.Add("age", TextBox3.Text) test.InsertParameters.Add("email", TextBox4.Text) test.Insert() i am using UPDATE command like this Dim test As New SqlDataSource() test.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("DatabaseConnectionString").ToString() test.UpdateCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text test.UpdateCommand = "UPDATE try SET name = '" + myname + "' , age = '" + myage + "' , email = '" + myemail + "' WHERE roll 123 " test.Update()but i have to use the SELECT command like this which is completely different from INSERT and UPDATE commands Dim tblData As New Data.DataTable() Dim conn As New Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True") Dim Command As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM try WHERE age = '100' ", conn) Dim da As New Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(Command) da.Fill(tblData) conn.Close() TextBox4.Text = tblData.Rows(1).Item("name").ToString() TextBox5.Text = tblData.Rows(1).Item("age").ToString() TextBox6.Text = tblData.Rows(1).Item("email").ToString() for INSERT and UPDATE commands defining the command,commandtype and connectionstring is samebut for the SELECT command it is completely different. why ?can i define the command,commandtype and connectionstring for SELECT command similar to INSERT and UPDATE ?if its possible how to do ?please help me
I receive the following error message when I try to use the Bulk Insert Task to load BCP data into a table:
Error: 0xC002F304 at Bulk Insert Task, Bulk Insert Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error.

Verify that the field terminator and row terminator are specified correctly.Bulk load data conversion error (overflow) for row 1, column 1 (rowno).".

In SSMS I am able to issue the following command and the data loads into a TableName table with no error messages: BULK INSERT TableName FROM 'C:DataDbTableName.bcp' WITH (DATAFILETYPE='widenative');
What configuration is required for the Bulk Insert Task in SSIS to make the data load? BTW - the TableName.bcp file is bulk copy file as bcp widenative data type. The properties of the Bulk Insert Task are the following: DataFileType: DTSBulkInsert_DataFileType_WideNative RowTerminator: {CR}{LF}
Any help getting the bcp file to load would be appreciated. Let me know if you require any other information, thanks for all your help. Paul
I'm trying to use Bulk insert for the first time and getting the following error. I think it might have something to do with my Format File and from the error msg there's a conversion error for the first column. In my database the Field is nvarchar(6) so my best guess is to use SQLNChar for the first column. I've checked the end of each line is CR LF therefore the is correct for line 7 right?
Msg 4863, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Bulk load data conversion error (truncation) for row 1, column 1 (ASXCode).

Before implementing memory based bulk copy insert with IRowsetFastLoad interface of SQL Server 2005 OLE DB provider, I want to know some considerations.
- performance : compared with T-SQL's "BULK INSERT ..." and bcp utility
- SQL Server's resource usage : when running memory based bulk copy, server resource's influence
- server side action(behavior) : when server is busy, delayed-update means IRowsetFastLoad::Commit(true) method can insert right after?
- row-count : The rowcount limitation can be inserted by IRowsetFastLoad::InsertRow() method before IRowsetFastLoad::Commit

I have a web form with a text field that needs to take in as much as the user decides to type and insert it into an nvarchar(max) field in the database behind. I've tried using the new .write() method in my update statement, but it cuts off the text after a while. Is there a way to insert/update in SQL 2005 this without resorting to Bulk Insert? It bloats the transaction log and turning the logging off requires a call to sp_dboptions (or a straight-up ALTER DATABASE), which I'd like to avoid if I can.
Hi, i want to create a sqldatasource in VWD also with advanced (insert, delete, update) option. This works fine for 'normal' tables, but when i try to do that with e.g. aspnet_roles table (indicated as vw_aspnet_Roles in dropdownlist of VWD), or aspnet_users table, that advanced option is not available, even when i select all fields. Why, and how can i solve that? Thanks Tartuffe
I am currently running the following query from Query Analyser, I am connected to Server_A and inserting records into Server_B.Database_B.dbo.MyTable from Server_A .Database_A.dbo.TableRef
Insert into Server_B.Database_B.dbo.MyTable(Field1,Field2,Field3) Select Field1_Ref,
Field2_Ref, Field3_Ref from Server_A .Database_A.dbo.TableRef
However Server_B.Database_B.dbo.MyTable is referenced within an Indexed View and whenever I run this query I get the following error:
Msg 1934, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
INSERT failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings: 'ARITHABORT'. Verify that SET options are correct for use with indexed views and/or indexes on computed columns and/or query notifications and/or xml data type methods.
I have tried setting ARITHABORT to ON & OFF within the Query and within the database properties but still recieve the same error.
Does anyone have any ideas on why this would not work?
On my site users can register using ASP Membership Create user Wizard control. I am also using the wizard control to design a simple question and answer form that logged in users have access to. it has 2 questions including a text box for Q1 and dropdown list for Q2. I have a table in my database called "Players" which has 3 Columns UserId Primary Key of type Unique Identifyer PlayerName Type String PlayerGenre Type Sting
On completing the wizard and clicking the finish button, I want the data to be inserted into the SQl express Players table. I am having problems getting this to work and keep getting exceptions. Be very helpful if somebody could check the code and advise where the problem is??
To match the answers to the user I get the UserId and insert this into the database to.protected void Wizard1_FinishButtonClick(object sender, WizardNavigationEventArgs e) { SqlDataSource DataSource = (SqlDataSource)Wizard1.FindControl("InsertArtist1"); MembershipUser myUser = Membership.GetUser(this.User.Identity.Name); Guid UserId = (Guid)myUser.ProviderUserKey;String Gender = ((DropDownList)Wizard1.FindControl("PlayerGenre")).SelectedValue; DataSource.InsertParameters.Add("UserId", UserId.ToString());DataSource.InsertParameters.Add("PlayerGenre", Gender.ToString()); DataSource.Insert();
