I have a text file with 10 columns that need to be imported into a table with 15 columns. The first 10 columns of the table correspond to the 10 columns of the text file.
When I run bcp, it fails. If I remove the last 5 columns from the table, it works fine. Any ideas on how I can leave the 5 columns in place?
I know that I can bcp, and then copy the data to another table, or use a DTS package to copy the data, but with the amount of data, I prefer bcp.
I have a client who we moved to our new web server and sql 2005 server from a sql 2000 server. I detached the database from sql 2000 and attached it to 2005. I also just set the compatibility to 2005 also.
My client used enterprise manager to import data into the tables on the sql 2000 just fine. Now using the SQL Management Studio, importing the same table produces all kinds of error, truncation errors, etc.
I have played with a bunch of the settings, did the "Suggest Types" options, but I still just get a bunch of errors. It seem to get it to work I have to go in on the columns of the flat file i am importing and change EVERY COLUMN field to match the table i'm importing too. That is just too much work.
I basically have a 2 record text file i easily imported to sql 2000. but importing into sql 2005 proves to be a *** load of work! Aren't products supposed to get better with future releases? What am I doing wrong?
I've tried the sql native client and the oledb sqlserver client and get the same results.
Hello - the very nature of this question seems to make no sense I know - but we received a huge volume of data (29 tables) in flat file format. I first imported them into MS Access because of its portability and it seemed to be more forgiving on imports. Now I have a complete MS Access DB with all tables, so I figured importing to SQL server should be a snap. However, on the import, I had 14 tables import successfully, and 15 failed!
Here is an example of one of the error messages I received: Insert Error, Column 3 - status 6; Data Overflow...this was on a date/time field in access, and here is the data contained in the referenced row/column: "8/19/4999"
the year "4999" is obviously the problem (at least i think), and I have no idea why this successfully imported to MS Access, but not to SQL Server....
what i'd like to be able to do (not the best practice, i know) for now is ignore these types of errors - and just force SQL server to take the data straight from MS Access and replicate it. We received this data from a 3rd party, and there's no telling how many data entry errors like this could be in each table - many of the tables have over 500,000 rows, and i don't want to have to go through fixing each of these errors by hand...anyone have any ideas?
Hi Guys,I’m trying to do a Bulk Insert but I am receiving the following error: conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 2, column 8 (Phone).Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 1, column 8 (Phone).". Task failed: dbo.tblNoName
The data is comma delimited which I stipulated in my Import Connection section. But the data also has quotes around it (ie. The field Lname nvarchar (17) = “Brown� and the field phone nvarchar (10) = “12345678921�. Is there a way to ignore the quotes or do I have to remove them before I import?
Or is my problem something else all together?
The connection is solid; Format = “Specify� RowDelimiter = {CR}{LF} columnDelimiter = Comma {,}
No other options are set.
The data looks like: "tstLName","tstFname","000 N Tst DR","IDAHO sp","ID","00000000",
Hi, I am trying to import from Excel file. So In between Excel file source and OLEDB destination I am using One Data Transformations to convert excel unicode characters to Sqlserver varchar.
Iam getting this following errors: 1)
Error: 0xC020901C at Data Flow Task, OLE DB Destination [382]: There was an error with input column "Copy of Zip" (615) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (395). The column status returned was: "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
Copy of zip is the Data Transformation column mapped Sqlserver Varcahr(200) column of Zipcode. In excel file the Zip codes are like this: 78712-2344 78123 12345 87651-1234
2)
The column "State" needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection. This is warning. This type of warnings are for all columns in excel file.
3) Intially I declared the Sqlserver table columns like this Varchar(100), then SSIS showing some warning like truncation of column State 255 characters to .. So I changed columns datatype from Varchar(100) to Varchar(500)? Why we need to change like this.
I€™m trying to copy data from production to my local machine using the SQL Server 2005 import and export wizard. It works fine if I select a small number of tables but throws errors When there€™s a lot of tables. Have you ever experienced problems using it? Is there a better way to transfer the data?
the data source is SQL Server 2000 and the target is 2005. I have the optimize for many tables and transaction options selected
Here€™s the errors I get

Recently installed Sql Server 2005 client and am now attempting to import data from a spreadsheet into an existing table. This works fine with Sql Server 2000 but I am getting data conversion truncation errors that stop the process when this runs using import utility in Sql Server 2005.
I recently updated the datatype of a sproc parameter from bit to tinyint. When I executed the sproc with the updated parameters the sproc appeared to succeed and returned "1 row(s) affected" in the console. However, the update triggered by the sproc did not actually work.
The table column was a bit which only allows 0 or 1 and the sproc was passing a value of 2 so the table was rejecting this value. However, the sproc did not return an error and appeared to return success. So is there a way to configure the database or sproc to return an error message when this type of error occurs?
I have a parent package that calls child packages inside a For Each container. When I debug/run the parent package (from VS), I get the following error message: Warning: The Execution method succeeded, but the number of errors raised (3) reached the maximum allowed (1); resulting in failure. This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number specified in MaximumErrorCount. Change the MaximumErrorCount or fix the errors.
It appears to be failing while executing the child package. However, the logs (via the "progress" tab) for both the parent package and the child package show no errors other than the one listed above (and that shows in the parent package log). The child package appears to validate completely without error (all components are green and no error messages in the log). I turned on SSIS logging to a text file and see nothing in there either.
If I bump up the MaximumErrorCount in the parent package and in the Execute Package Task that calls the child package to 4 (to go one above the error count indicated in the message above), the whole thing executes sucessfully. I don't want to leave the Max Error Count set like this. Is there something I am missing? For example are there errors that do not get logged by default? I get some warnings, do a certain number of warnings equal an error?

I am trying to import an xlsx spreadsheet into a sql 2008 r2 database using the SSMS Import Wizard. When pointed to the spreadsheet ("choose a data source")  the Import Wizard returns this error:

How can I address that issue? (e.g. Where is this provider and how do I install it?)

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.

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?
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?
when trying to Ãmport files to our database server from a client, I keep getting an error:
- Validating (Error) Messages Error 0xc00470fe: Data Flow Task: The product level is insufficient for component "Source_txt" (1). (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc00470fe: Data Flow Task: The product level is insufficient for component "Data Conversion 1" (175). (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
... doing the same import when logged on the server, hasn't been giving me any errors, how come. I can from my client without trouble import tables from other DB servers but when ever it is files it won't do it.
I tried as mentioned in other threads rerun setup to re-install SSIS, but as it was already installed it wouldn't re-install. My next move would be to make a clean install, but not sure it would help, as I think this is a buck.
Hi,I am having trouble importing data from an excel spreadsheet into MSSQL Server 2000 using DTS Wizard. The DTS import process issuccessfull, no errors, but only 50 rows of approx. 1500 rows of dataare imported. I tried to remove 20 rows in the excel spreadsheet inthe interval row 0-50. When i later ran the import, only 30 rows wereimported. I deleted almost every row in the interval 0-50, with theresult of the import having 0 rows imported (but job ransuccessfully). I decided to delete rows 0-100 in the spreadsheet inorder to see if the resolved the problem, but it didn't. As Isuspected something in the excel file to be the cause, I exported theexcel spreadsheeet to a tab delimited textfile, with only one row. ADTS import resulted in importing approx 100 rows, double the amount ofthe textfile, but the other 1400 rows were not imported. The data inthe column is containing numeric values only.Please help me! What could possibly be the cause of DTS skipping rowslike that. DTS doesn't feel reliable at all :/Regards,Björn
I have been receiving 644 errors on an index for one of my tables. We have dropped and rebuilt the index. Even BCP out, drop the table, create the table and BCP in everything and still have problems.
Has anyone else experienced problems with 644 errors? Did you ever determine the cause and are they any preventative ideas?
Ok, whenever I try to connect, I get the following Error messages:
"SQL Server Registration failed because of the connection failure displayed below. SQL Server does not exist or access denied. ConnectionOpen (Connect())"
"An Error 1069 occured while performing this service operation on the MSSQLServer Service"
I even went as far as uninstalling and reinstalling, but to no avail. Does anyone have an idea what's causing this? It was working fine and then all the sudden one day I start getting these messages and it won't work.
I have a dynamics db that is used for archival purposes and it is not used very often. Now that someone decided to get some info out of it it wont let them. when I run dbcc I get the following message:

Msg 8921, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Check terminated. A failure was detected while collecting facts. Possibly tempdb out of space or a system table is inconsistent. Check previous errors.
I was just wondering if this meant anything to any of you? and since all of my backtapes have the same issue, is there any way to fix it?

what a want to know is if there s a way to log sql server errors on a log file, table, these errors are not sql server logs which already exists, i want to log dead locks, sql server timeout errors vs on sql server or somewhere.
Hi Expert, I have a datagrid which is filtering by a dropdownlist and a search textbox.
The dropdownlist allows to select the column they want to search. The search textbox allows to enter the item they want based on the selection from dropdown. Now I use a StoreProcedure to select the data they need, so I pass-in @DropDownListValue int and some others parameters, such as @ID int, @OrderType varchar(50) ... When I search for ID = 163 Input string was not in a correct format. Then when I check with the SQL Server Profiler, I found out that: exec usp_SelectOrder@DropDownListValue=N'1',@ID=N'163',@OrderType=N'163',@OrderSeries=N'163' ... I already set every parameter's default value to NULL. How can I solve for this? Thanks!!
Why on earth is this not working, It WILL insert if there are NO apostheres (" ' "), but if I say like, "Cedric's Group" It will error out. I thought this approach was suppose to handle this character?

Over the last few weeks we've been having problems with a particular table in our live OLTP database - dbcc checkdb has been reporting consistency errors.
Initially i took the db offline and fixed the errors using checkdb and replacing the deleted records from a backup of the table. After some investigation it appeared that the errors were being caused when the unique clustered index on the table was rebuilt during weekend maintenance. After a lot of testing i was sure this was the case - so i just deleted the index (the table is small and was over-indexed anyway) and the errors stopped occurring. I didn't understand why the errors had occurred in the first place, and i wasn't convinced that the index was the real problem, but the errors had gone - so that was ok for the short term.
A few things still bugged me:
1. For audit purposes we maintain a copy of the table in question (populated via triggers on the live table) and this showed up consistency errors too. This led me to suspect the problem was with the data itself or the structure of the table - unfortunately there's nothing remarkable about this small, rarely updated table at all (apart from the fact that it's vital for our business!).
2. Any database built from backups of the live db consistently report errors now despite the fact that the backups were made after the problem was resolved and when dbcc checkdb reported NO errors (I maintain a number of test and olap databases in this way). What's happening here? (My guess is that the backup and restore process involves rebuilding indexes, rearranging data, etc. and this is resurrecting the problem) I couldn't help feeling that despite having apparently fixed the errors they were still lurking out there somewhere....
3. At no point did the data in the table appear to be corrupt in any way from the user perspective. This provokes two questions - is dbcc checkdb reliable at both reporting and fixing errors, and how serious are consistency errors?
After removing the suspect index everything was fine for a few weeks until this morning - when errors were again reported on the same table. After hours spent testing and playing around with this (dropping indexes, dropping or truncating the table and re-populating from ascii files, etc.) i've now hit a brick wall. I still suspect the problem is related to the data itself or the structure of the table but can't get any further.....so..
Has anyone come up against a similar problem? Any suggestions for the next course of action? Can anyone point me to documentation on checkdb or consistency errors (other than what's in BOL or the MS knowledge base)?
I am getting the error: The Procedure entry point snmpsvcgetenterpriseoid could not be located in the dynamic link library snmpapi.dll at start up of my nt4 sql server box. The only thought to that is that I need to reinstall SNMP. But I cant find the SNMP Agent anyware for me to reinstall. If you have ever seen this and have a better idea of how to fix it or if you know were i can find the agent it would be gretly apreciated.
