Hi, I have been having fun and games for well over a week now trying to get an xml file copied into an sql file, but still have no joy. I and using the bulk copy to do this and think I am close to solving it but just need a final push in the write direction.
In green below is the full source code, I think that the trouble is with the try statement part here:
Try
bulk.WriteToServer(xd)
This comes up with the error :
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Xml.XmlDocument' to type 'System.Data.IDataReader'
Basically how do I get the XML data into a reader (or IDataReader) format so that the writetoserver command can interpret it
I would be so greatful if someone could help resolve this it is becoming increasingly more frustrating

Hi,
I have a VB project which uses SQL Server 2005 Express. When the project first runs, it copies its DB files from the data directory to a directory created on the C: drive. This works fine.
In a later part of the application, it is necessary to copy the DB file to another location e.g. memory stick so that it can be used to merge data onto another PC running the same application.
The data merging works too.
My problem is, despite the fact that it worked okay this morning, I am now unable to copy the DB into a second location (memory stick or location on local disc). I get an exception stating that the file is in use.
I have no other applications running (I shut down Visual Studio and was running the installed version).
What is more, the form that implements the file copying, first closes down all other forms in the application to ensure that nothing is connected to the DB.
Furthermore, the form that performs this task has no DB connections whatsoever - it simply allows the user to select a location, then creates a directory and copies the DB files to it.
If I copy/paste the code plus the FolderBrowserDialog into the first form that copies the original database out of the data directory - it works!
The code for the whole form is below - I would be hugely grateful for any ideas ...
Public Class Export
Private Sub Export_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
End Sub
Private Sub NextBtn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NextBtn.Click
'Close all other windows to ensure that the databases are not in use.
Dim Counter As Integer = My.Application.OpenForms.Count
Do While Counter > 1
For Each f As Form In My.Application.OpenForms
If Not (f.GetType Is GetType(Export)) Then
f.Close()
Exit For
End If
Next
Counter -= 1
Loop
' Set the Help text description for the FolderBrowserDialog.
Me.FolderBrowserDialog.Description = _
"Select a location to export the data to e.g. a memory stick. Or, you can export to a local directory and then burn to CD or e-mail to another user."
' Do not allow the user to create New files via the FolderBrowserDialog.
Me.FolderBrowserDialog.ShowNewFolderButton = False
' Default to the My Documents folder.
Me.FolderBrowserDialog.RootFolder = Environment.SpecialFolder.MyComputer
Dim result As DialogResult = FolderBrowserDialog.ShowDialog()
Dim foldername As String
If result = DialogResult.OK Then
foldername = FolderBrowserDialog.SelectedPath
Try
If Not My.Computer.FileSystem.DirectoryExists(foldername & "ClubSecExportMerge") Then
My.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory(foldername & "ClubSecExportMerge")
MsgBox("Merge Directory created.")
End If
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile("C:ClubsecClubSecDB.mdf", foldername & "ClubsecExportMergeMergeDB.mdf", True)
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile("C:ClubsecClubSecDB_log.ldf", foldername & "ClubsecExportMergeMergeDB_log.ldf", True)
MsgBox("Database merge files successfully copied to " & foldername & " ClubSecExportMerge.", MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "Operation successful")
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("There was an error." & Chr(13) & "Export of database was not achieved." & Chr(13) & ex.ToString, MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "Operation failed.")
Exit Sub
End Try
Else ' Cancel button pressed
MsgBox("No path selected. Data not exported", MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "Operation cancelled.")
End If
Dim home As New HomeScreen
home.Show()
Me.Close()
End Sub

This is a pretty basic question, but I've generated a backup file for one of my SQL 2000 databases, and I need to copy the backup file to another computer so I can burn it on CD. Whenever I try to copy the file, I get an error message saying that the file is in use by another process and can't be copied. I have tried detaching the database, shutting down Enterprise Manager, stopping the MSSQL service, but all to no avail. There must be a way to do this, but I can't get it to work. Does anyone have any ideas?

I am developing a .NET 2.0 application that uses Sql Express as its backend.
I use OleDb Provider to connect to Sql express.
One of the options in the app allows the Admin to create a Backup of the database. As part of this process, I write a log entry to one of the tables in the database, commit & close the connection, and then copy the physical database(.mdf) file to some pre-determined location using the following instruction (in VB):
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile("Path to Database File", "Destination Path")
It throws an exception saying that the file is in use. Upon checking, I found that the file has been locked-up by the Sql process.
I ensured that my app closes all connections to the database, that there is none other trying to connect to it, and then again tried to execute the above instruction in my app, again raising the same error.
However, when the app terminates, then I can easily copy the databse using explorer. I also used the OleDb method ReleaseObjectPool(), but the problem persisted.
So, how can I copy the database in such a situation from within my app??

I am experiencing unexpected behaviour when copying an Excel file.
An Excel file from TemplateDir to WorkingDir.
Excel file is then populated in WorkingDir, ok Copy File task copies Excel File from WorkingDir to FinalDir, however non populated version of file is copied.
However, if I stop SSIS and and execute Copy Task only, the populated version of file is copied.
It seems SSIS has a kind of lock on Excel file in WorkingDir.
how lock can be released to enable Copy of populated file.

Hi,
I have an SSIS package designed to copy across a file from local machine to a location on the network.
The SSIS package works fine when I run it directly run it in the Designer, ie, it copies over the file to the network.
But when I run the package through the Job server agent, it fails giving me a validation error on the network path..
Does it have to do with the permissions of the User account used here? Could anyone please provide any information on this....
Thanks

Hi all,
I copied the following code from MSDN2 bcp Utility:
bcp AdventureWorks.Sales.Currency2 in Currency.dat -T -c
and executed it in my C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsBinn>.
I got the following errors:
SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 2
Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2].
SQLState = HYT00, NativeError = 0
Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Login timeout expired
SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 2
Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
Please help and tell me what wrong with this BCP execution or with the database, and how to make this BCP working.
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm trying to insert one value (an order) into the table Order and (via a for-loop) all the products in that order in the table Product, hence, one order can have multiple products (and must have at least one). I have an automatically increased value for the OrderID as the primary key for Order, and I have a foreign key named OrderID in the Product table. So far, I _think_ everything's logically correct.
However, I don't understand how to retrieve the OrderID to be able to insert it in the Product table upon insertion. I guess this is done all the time, but the only solution I can think of is to make a new SQL Command, asking for the just created OrderID to use it in the SQL Command for the products' for-loop. I'm sure that's a bad idea. :-)
Can I use relationships or so to make this automatically updated (that is, to have the Product table "check for" the OrderID and insert the OrderID upon insertion of the Product row(s))?
I hope this is clear to you. Thanks in advance for all help!

Hello List,
Folks, I need a help here. We are running our production database on SQL Server 7.0. We are in a process of switching the production database server to another server hardware. I was wondering, How can we copy the Logins/Passwords from my old server to the new one. Well this is very important to have all the old logins and passwords on the new server to have anybody login to it. I know, Doing Export will copy the logins. But would it allow the same old password to be on the new server?
Please help me here.

I have a SQL Table called Consumers that contains 495,037 records.
The record size is about 350 bytes and it has one field that is a varchar (255). I am using DTS to copy this file from SQL (7.0) to Access (97). Last week this file had about 216,000 records and the DTS Process worked okay. Today, it has 495,037 records and the DTS Process appears to lose some records (about 26,000) during the copy. In the DTS Package the SQL query is just a straight SELECT statement with no WHERE condition.
During the DTS Process the SQL Consumers Table is being copied to and Access Table. The error I am getting during the DTS Process is "Error at Destination for Row # 468608".
When I open the Access Table it shows 468,608 as the actual number of rows in the Access Table and shows ConsumerID 675820 (primary key, identity field) for this particular record.
When I link to the SQL Table via Access the Record # 468,608 shows ConsumerID 643852 and the last record shows Record # 495,037 and ConsumerID 675820.
This tells me that some records are not being copied over during the DTS Process. The last record on the SQL Table is on the Access Table. So there are probably 26,429 (495,037 on SQL Table minus 468,608 on Access Table) that are not on the Access Table.
The DTS Select Query does not have a Where Condition. Do you think some records are being lost because of the size of the SQL Table?
There is an Advance Tab on the DTS Properties Page; there are some
options like 'Insert Commit Size', Fetch Buffer Size', 'Use Fast Load', 'Keep NULLS', and 'Check Constraints' that I
need to take a further look at. Have you used any of these options and do you think any particular one may help
my problem?
There is also and 'Exception File Name' option. I will give this a try next week to see if it will write the problem
records to disk.
Thanks for your help, Kevin

I have an 8 GB SQL 6.5 database that I need to move to another server. I know I can create the devices and the database on the new server exactly as they were created on the old server then replace the new DAT files with the old (after shuting down SQL Server). The issue I am running into is that the sort order and character sets on the two servers are different. Will this have an effect if I copy the DAT files? Am I better off using BCP? I'd hate to use BCP because of the time that it will take to move the files.
Thanks for you help

Hi, I'm pretty new to SQL so am still learning the syntax etc.
I have 2 tables, one called Railways and another called Sheet1$ (an import from Excel).
In Railways, I have 5 Fields:
ID
First_Name
Last_Name
File
Full_Name
At the moment, all are populated with data (300 records) but Full_Name is showing values of <NULL>.
I want to populate Full_Name with the Data in Sheet1$ which has the field Full_Name (which is populated with the data I need)
What is the query I need to run to get SQL to copy the data from Sheet1$ (Full_Name) into Railways (Full_Name) - replacing all of the <NULL> values?
I've tried using the import wizard but without success.
Thanks in advance.

I was trying to find the fastest way to COPY a 50G DB from our production server to our test server. I was testing this on our test server and had a simple question.
Attach/Detach is out since I can only move not copy a DB using this method.
export/import, bcp and DTS take too long and are not indented for this anyways.
so, I was left with Backup and restore. so, I tried that on two different test servers. Took very long. so, I decided to be brave and try the following.
1. Take DB1 that's running on server1 OFFLINE
2. Manually copy all datafiles and logfiles from Server1 to server2.
3. Attach DB1 on server2.
It came up great. No complaints whatsoever. So basically, it's the same as attach/detach but instead of detaching the DB I took the Db offline and copied the files over. So my question...
Is this supported?
Any chance of corruption on either of the servers?
If a DB is offline, is copying datafiles and logfiles supported (I am bit worried if I might corrupt data in production).
Do people use this method to COPY databases or do they stick with BACKUP and RESTORE?
PS: Are there any other ways to do this?
Thanks so much.
