My company designs our own banking software written in Progress. Currently twice a year (during our releases) we require our bank customers to run a program on their system that pulls certain data and dumps it to a .dat file. This .dat file was then imported (using another progress program) into a Progress database that our development team created (called stats.db) so we could have access to certain information regarding the customer's software/hardware set-up and utilization of programs,etc. This stats.db is now going away as we have a centralized SQL database for all customer information. The new process will be for our customers to send in their .dat files, they would be forwarded onto me, then I will need to import them into our SQL database. I am struggling in finding a way to do this. Our .dat files contain one field that holds the information, therefore the data is not delimited in such a way that I can just pull it into Excel, Access, CSV, etc. How can I go about pulling data out of these .dat files into a view/table in SQL for importing?
I am at a total loss and have spent hours researching this issue. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks...
I have several hundred .csv files that have a specific cell that I need to get into a SQL table.
These files are named after the date on which they were created...ie 8252005 would be todays date.
Im looking for a way to import this cell to SQL... the same cell in each file....
Thanks for any help
Hello,I am trying to import a data from a DB called Reference Manager. Itwas sent as an XML file.How do I import it? I only have the client tools.Thanks,Tmuld.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to migrate some tables from 2000 to 2005. I used the wizard in SSIS to create a package bringing them in.
The first database I did this on it worked great, in no time.
However, I tried this on another database and I get a LOT of these:
Information: 0x4004800C at {0417E15E-7306-4DAD-BEDD-1FDB17390EB0}, DTS.Pipeline: The buffer manager detected that the system was low on virtual memory, but was unable to swap out any buffers. 2 buffers were considered and 2 were locked. Either not enough memory is available to the pipeline because not enough is installed, other processes are using it, or too many buffers are locked.
Now, some things to note:
1. I'm trying to do about 170 tables at once - although none of them are bigger than a MB
2. Copying files between these 2 servers is also taking a long time
Is it too many tables at once? Is it the actual pipeline between the servers? The message above seems to indicate that it is a problem local to the machine, and maybe our file-copying problem is just another issue entirely.
Im trying to import tables, stored procedures and data form another sql

Help needed!
I am a final year uni student and as part of my project I've developed a .Net site with a SQL Server 2000 backend.
This week a virus hit our house and my PC got infected (despite anitvirus and firewall!). Anyway, I have had to format my hard disk and reinstall everything.
My site is back in the wwwroot folder and looks fine, trouble is I need to get the database back up and running.
Before I wiped the disk I took the .mdf and .ldf files from the data file in the SQL Server folder in Program Files.
How can I get my database backup and running.
Ive tried creating a new database (with the same name as the .mdf and .ldf files) and replacing the default created files with the copies I saved but this didnt work.
Any help would really be appreciated as I have to demo this to my lecturers soon and my whole grade is riding on it! (no pressure)

Hi,
I'm trying to import a Paradox 8 db into SQL Server 2000 using DTS but the list of data sources in the connections dialog only caters for version 5.x or older. Does anybody know how to get the data source for v8?
If not, is there any other quick and efficient way to import a paradox 8 db as I have to import around 15 of them to do.

Hi all,I have a file with an extension of .sdf. I "believe" it is a text fileof some sort but I am uncertain. The source agency hasn't returned anyof my calls so I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with this extension?I'd like to import the file into my database - when I use DTS and chosea text format, regardless of what delimiter I choose, the format isstill really ugly. when I pull it up in a huge text editor, it is hardfor me to tell what it is there.I saw in one of my searches that it could be a comma delimited (it'snot) .. could be a unisys file? I know it's not much information to goon - but where should I start in trying to get this into my databasewithout knowing the format? Any suggestions would be greatlyappreciated.Thanks!Bethany*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

Hi,One of my clients has the following situation. They use Access DB fordata update etc. some business functions while they also want to viewthe Access data quickly and more efficiently in SQL Server 2000. HugeAccess db with over 100 user tables, over 60 MB data.The DTS package that comes with SQL Server 2000 seems pretty "messy"in the sense that it assumes that one needs to do one time import onlyor accurately it does not seem to address periodical import well, likein this case, we need to fresh the Access data in the SQL Serverimport daily. And I don't see DTS package (saved or new) has anoption, that would allow one to delete existing destination datafirst, that is what we want for all freshes. For the saved package,the design screen is too busy, maybe, here one of the icon(function)provides what we need, however, I don't it's globaly applicable, Imean, the whole database vs. a particular table.So, what do you think of the following strategy?1) Create/save the Access import DTS process;2) Create a sql script that would check and drop the destinationdatabase, andrecreate the same new destionation database;The schedule the sql script a minute or two before the scheduledruntime ofthe saved DTS package.Does this approach make some sense or do you have a better idea? Now,a newquestion arises here, would this task of frequent drop and creation ofa reasonably large database contribute to disk fragmentation, whichwould slow down data retrieval among others.Thanks.

Hi All,
I am trying to import data via DTS from a CSV file. I have the "empty" tables already created with proper column names. Now, I have a subset data of each of these tables, which I am trying to import. I am facing problem in that, there is a datatype conflict between the source (CSV file) and destination (table already in the DB). All the data in the CSV file appears to be of DBTYPE_WSTR, where as in the table it is different (some are DBTYPE_WSTR, some are DBTYPE_DATE, and so on). Is there a way that I can import data successfully? This has become a work stoppage issue now. I had to actually go for this approach of creating the empty tables first and then importing data because, the backup file was very very large and could not be copied to our domain. Please help me out in this.
Thanks a lot.
Mannu.

I am unsure if this is the correct forum to send this question, but I can't seem to find any information regarding this problem. If this is the wrong place, please direct me to the correct spot.
I am attempting to import data from a free tables FoxPro database to SQL 2000 using a DTS Package which has worked correctly every day for the past 2 years. Yesterday, I got an error.
The package has around 10 tables that it deletes, re-creates, and populates with data from the Foxpro. All of the tables except one work correctly.
When I try to do an explicit import using the ODBC connection to populate that one table, I get the following error: Context: Error calling Openrowset on the provider.
I created an access database on my local computer and setup an ODBC connection and link tables to the database to see if it would work, and it did. So I thought there might be something wrong with the ODBC data source on the SQL Server, so I deleted it and created a new one, used it and I receive the same error.
I thank you in advance for any assistance or direction you can provide me for finding an answer.

Hi,
I would like to transfer data from an oracle database to SQL server database 2000. I am using DTS Export/ Import Wizard for this purpose.
My queries are:
1. How can I write the write the Start time, End time, data records that failed to a log file with minimal amount of coding. (I found that Active X scripts can be written although the coding is quite complex).
Can I get some kind of pointers to simple coding that can ensure I log time of run of DTS and errors if they occurred.
2. There is an error log written by DTS, but this is written only if an error occurs and the details of error are not written. I am looking to log successful transfers too. Can the DTS package be modified, with minimal code to achieve this objective?
3. I tried scheduling the DTS through the Edit window that SQL Server 2000 provides but am not able to change the time of schedule.
How do I schedule it?
Thanks,
Karthik
