Automatic Data Import
Oct 17, 2006
I just got sql 2005. Can someone point me in the right direction on getting started importing data. I need to be able to load ascii data into SQL 2005 on a weekly basis. This ascii file will have the same data structure but data will change weekly.
I have heard to do this automatically (basically with a click of a button) you should use a DTS package. I also see this SSIS. I am trying to understand what to use for this import process. I would really appreciate any help on this. Thanks.

Dear all,
I'm new to SQL server. I would like to ask how to do the following. Now I have many CSV files in a directory, which are uploaded through ftp from my client computers daily. How can I automatically import those CSV files to the SQL server? Can I do it by a script or a stored procedure or something else?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Roland Lee

Is there a way to automatically import incoming emails into a SQLServer Database?I know it is inefficient, but we have to run a number of rules on theemail after it is received. Store it in a database and be able toconnect other things, meetings, contacts, etc. Moving it back andforth in chunks can be difficult and the overhead could spiral out ofcontrol.So we were thinking of moving it to the DB as it was retrieved.What do you think would be a better solution to retrieve it?Does my email make sense?

Hello guys! I am relavtively new to ASP.NET programming ang was just starting out on my first project. I am using ASP.NET2.0 technology by using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition and of course with SQL 2005 Express Edition. I would like to develop a database for our IP addresses, so one field of my table in a SQL data is the field for IP addresses.I would like to write a program wherein after clicking the button, that field will be automatically filled up with IP addresses (e.g, from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255).How do I accomplish this kind of dynamic filling up of fields? Thanks a lot!

Hello,
I have a database that I am setting up in SQL Server 2005. Initially, I am doing very large imports of data. Every time I run an import, I am having the increase the size of my transaction logs, and now they are approaching 2 GB. Should these be purging themselves? I have to keep increasing the max size of the log so that I can get my data in. While this will work for now, it is not a long term solution, because I can see the log size growing quite large and the amount of space on the server obviously isn't infinite. Is there a setting that I can change so they will automatically purge? If not, how do I purge this information myself?
Thanks so much!

I have two tables. When my user completes an insert of data in table (1), I would like the second "related" table (2) to be automatically populated with defaults. Is this possible?
My logical approach to this is:
1. Build a handler for the OnInsert event of the first table
2. In the handler, call the Insert Command on the SQLDataSource for the second table with the defaults specified in the DataSource.
What I'm not sure how to do is Step 2 or whats the best way. How do I call the Insertcommand programmatically for a DataSource? Or, is there a better way such as some kind of traditional hardwired SQL insert statement like in classical ASP? Or is there a way to programmatically call a stored procedure and if so is the 3rd approach the best way?
How exactly would someone do this best? It seems this would be a rather common thing someone might need to do.

Hello,
I've got a question about failover with the database mirroring.
I have 3 servers, 2 with SQL 2005 and 1 with SQL Express as witness.
After getting some problems to install database mirroring with Windows authentification, i had to create an authentification by certificate.
All goes well but my problem is about my primary instance SQL alias.
The alias on the primary doesn't follow on the secondary when the primary is down.
I've searched on forums and in the internet SQL web sites, but i didn't find anything.
I create another alias on the secondary but i don't know how to modify it in T-SQL...
I would like to know if there's any solution to modify an SQL instance alias by transact-SQL? or if anyone has already install on its servers, a fail over automatic with one instance alias with data mirroring in T-SQL?
Thank you all for your help...

Hello:
I am not sure how to implement the following, but I believe it entails using DTS, and hopefully it is fine that I post it here b/c ultimately I will need this backend data for my frontend .aspx pages:
On a weekly basis, I need to IMPORT some data located on a remote Oracle DB into SQL Server 2k. Since there is so much data to transfer, I would only like to transfer the data that is new to the table since the last IMPORT, i.e. a week ago and leave behin the OLD data.
Is DTS the correct way to go or do I have more control via DTS with STORED PROCEDURES? Does anyone have any good references for me?
On a similar note, once this Oracle data is IMPORTED into a certain table, I would like to EXPORT some of these NEWLY acquired rows matching certain criteria into another table for auditing purposes. For this scenario, should I implement a TRIGGER UPDATE event here on the first table?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

hi lads,
what i need to do for my project are as following:
a mobile user send data via GPRS to SQL server Database. then i need to have a method to detect while a particular table is being inserted. and then extract data from table construct a report dynamiclly. what should i do to achieve this goal? e.g. window application, store procedure or trigger ?
PS : client side is a mobile application developed using MCL. i don't in which way he will send all data to SQL server Database, so what i need to do is to monitor new data inserting.
2) how to auto generate and print report directly after record been inserted into the table ? Do i need to import report web service API ? if yes, which one? or i can use other methods e.g. predefine report control view in my window application, turn off pop-up menu while printing a report(I guess)
thanks

Hello,
I have a problem with the round of SQL Server 2K on the float data type.
In my application I do a SQL request for find a row in a table of SQL Server 2K.
This is the request :
SELECT DISTINCT N_ROW_ID FROM COMM WHERE N_ARTICLE_ID=79510 AND N_DATASOURCE_ID=1 AND N_SOURCE_ID=-102 AND N_PROVIDER_ID=-100
AND N_LEAD_TIME IS NULL AND N_UNIT_PRICE = 329.78 AND N_UNIT_PRICE_CURRENCY_ID=1
N_UNIT_PRICE is a float data type.
In the line need, the field N_UNIT_PRICE has 329.78 but with the round of SQL Server 2K I have 329.779999999999997.
So I never find the row
Do you have a solution for comparate a float flied with SQL Server round and a float send in a request as my 329.78?
I can't transform the column in decimal or numeric data type.
Is it possible to Disable the function?
Regards

Hello,
i want to import data from an excel sheet into a database. While reading from the excel sheet OleDb automatically guesses the Datatype of each column. My Problem is the first A Column which contains ~240 Lines. 210 Lines are Numbers, the latter 30 do contain strings. When i use this code:
Code BlockDim sConn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & conf_path_current & file_to_import & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=NO"""
Dim oConn As New OleDb.OleDbConnection(sConn)
Dim cmd1 As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand("Select * From [Table$]", oConn)
Dim rdr As OleDb.OleDbDataReader = cmd1.ExecuteReader
Do While rdr.Read()
Console.WriteLine(rdr.Item(0)) 'or rdr(0).ToString
Next
it will continue to read the stuff till the String-Lines are coming.
when using Item(0), it just crashes for trying to convert a DBNull to a String, when using rdr(0).ToString() it just gives me no value.
So my question is how to tell OleDB that i want that column to be completly read as String/Varchar?
Thanks for Reading

I'm moving data between identical tables and have to use a flat file as an intermediary. I thought: "No problem, SSIS can do a quick export to a file, then move the file to another server, then use SSIS to import the data to the new server."
Seems simple, right?
I'm hitting all sorts of surprising data conversion errors. I used the export wizard to create the export package. This works fine. However using the same flat file definition, the import package fails -- even when I have no destination. That is I have just one data flow task that contains only one control: the Flat File source. When I run the package the flat file definition fails with data type conversion and truncation errors. One of the obvious errors is for boolean types. The SQL field is a bit, SSIS defined the column as DT_BOOL, the output of the data are literal text values "TRUE" and "FALSE". So SSIS converts a sql datatype of bit to "TRUE" and "FALSE" on export, but can't make the reverse conversion on import?
Does anyone else find this surprising? I would expect that what SSIS exports, it can import given all the same table and flat file definitions. Is SSIS the wrong tool to do such simple bulk copies? I'd like to avoid using BCP because this process will need to run automatically within SQL Agent so we can leverage all the error tracking and system monitoring.

I need to periodically import a (HUGE) table of data from an external data source (not SQL Server) into SQL Server, with the following scenarios:
Some of the records in the external data source may not exist in SQL.Some of the records in the external data source may have a different value at different imports, but this records are identified univocally by the same primary key in the external datasource and in SQL Server.Some of the records in the external data source may be the same in SQL.
Due to the massive volume of the import, I would like to import only the records which are different from what I have in SQL Server (cases 1 and 2 above). In fact case 2 is the most critical.
I thought of making a query with a left outer join between the data in the external data source table (SOURCE) and the data in the SQL Server table (DESTIN). The join is done on the respective primary keys (composed keys of up to 10 columns) and one of the WHERE conditions will be that the value in SOURCE is different from the value in DESTIN.
The result of this query would be exactly what I need to import.
How to do this in SSIS??? I couldn't figure out how to join tables in different data sources yet.
In fact I cannot write a stored procedure to do that, since one of the sources is in a datasources not SQL Server.
I have seen the Lookup transformation in this article http://www.sqlis.com/default.aspx?311 but this is not exacltly what I want to do.
Another possibility is to use the merge join, but due to the sorting I believe its performances would be terrible!
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Hi all,
It looks like these options are only available in the SQL Server Management Studio? I installed SQL Server Management Express Studio and I can't even find the DTSWizard.exe on my machine.
Can you please help how I can import data from excel or where can I download the SQL Server Management Studio?
Your prompt response is greatly appreciated.

I am trying to import data from an excel Sheet to SQL Database using OPENROWSET. After import I found that all the cells containing data of more than 2000 length got truncated to  255 characters only. I tried finding the solution and found that We need to have the data with length more than 255 in first 8 rows of Excel sheet. It worked for me also. But In real scenario the data that I cant do the manual work on excel. I tried out with Dot Net utility and SSIS package also but the truncation is still the issue.
INSERT into tmp_Test

I have data for online catalogue in SQL 7.0. The web grogrammer asked me to add a unique key for reference. I used int datatype with identity seed of 1 and increment of 1. This works fine BUT when I try to import new data I get an error because the csv file has no column and therefore no value for the unique field which will not allow null by definition.
How can I maintain a unique field to act as primary key in my data when
I want to add (and delete) data that doesn't have this field.
I tried adding the uniqueidentifier field but this gives error message.
The only work round is to delete the unigue field altogether and then add the new data and afterwards create a new unique field. At 600000 + lines of data, this is time and memory consuming
Any help appreciated,Thanks, Keith

Hello all, I am using the Import Wizard to pull in data from an Excel spreadsheet. One column in particular SQL Server sees as a float data type but it contains varchar data. So I change this in the wizard but some of these values are missing when I select * from Sheet1$ in SQL Server 2005. Any ideas why this would happen? I have formatted the particular column as text in Excel.

Working with SQL 7.
I wanted to upsize an Access 97 database (serves as backend of db app so contains tables only) to SQL 7. I used Import Data from Data Transformation Services from the Tools menu. The import procedure worked well except it stashed the tables in the Master db. That's probably because I didn't create a new db to import them into.
How to recover from this is my question. It is a new install of SQL 7.
Thanks

There are two tables Table1 and Table2 both of which have a column companykey

Table2 has many to one relationship with Table1 in the sense for each company in Table1 there can be more than 1 employees in Table2
Now I want to insert only the value of column CompanyKey from Table2 to Table1 and also some other columns values like employeekey from Table2 to regiskey column in Table1.
Now how do I do this???

Hi,
I do a monthly import in MSSQL 2K. The file contains 7.000.000 rows. These rows are loaded in to a special (preload) database. After the import several modifications are performed before it's uploaded to production.
The importfile is a comma-seperated file, fields are enclosed by double-quotes (seems to be an issue for BCP?)
If I'm right, there are 3 options to import:
1) data transformation
2) Bulk insert
3) BCP import
Could someone give me a more detailed explanation what the differences are between those methods? What's the fastest? disadvantages?
Thanks in advance!
