Data for Source Column 15 'Notes' is too large for the specified buffer size. How do I get around this, I can see some of the notes entries are beyond 255 chars so I changed the destination datatype to textI have never seen this error when importing before. What do I do?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to import a tab separated text file into sql server 2005 using the import guide. But when running the job I get the error message
Error 0xc02020c5: Data Flow Task: Data conversion failed while converting column "Column 19" (67) to column "Column 19" (404). The conversion returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
The column 19 which reported a problem contains this information:
?searchroot=/_gen_/txt/&template=std.htm&use=prospect&intref=1_26067
However what is mysterious is that if I open the file in notepad or Excel and resave it again the job runs perfectly. This is not a way we could make it work later on since it's an automatic job that will run each night on a new text file.
The text file is sent from Norway to Sweden - and I use ANSI latin 1 when importing.
The column has datatype DT_STR with a width of 500.
I use Locale Swedish and when I save in Notepad it is saved in ANSI,
I use Windows XP Swedish version.
Hi all--Given a table called "buyers" with the following column definitions in a SQL Server 2005 database:
[BUYER] [nvarchar](40) NULL,
[DIVISION] [nvarchar](3) NULL,
[MOD_DATE] [datetime] NULL
This table is laden with Unicode data and the MOD_DATE contains no data--not even NULL values, and is giving me a headache as a result. I can export this data fine to a text file, but when I create an SSIS package to attempt import to another table defined exactly the same as above in another place, I get the following messages:

Among the customizations in this package is the flag "ValidateExternalMetadata" set to False. The data itself is surrounded by " and delimited by semicolons for each field, with the header row set as the name of each column. It looks like this:
"BUYER";"DIVISION";"MOD_DATE"
"108 Joon-Hyn Kim";"TAD";""
"109 Kang-Soo Do";"TAD";""
"FS07 John Smith";"TAD";""
...
Can anyone suggest a course of action on how to handle the error when the MOD_DATE field is completely empty?
Thanks in advance,
Jonathan

Happy Thursday all,
I am importing a text file to sql and most of my fields look like this:

Can anyone help me understand a better way of making this happen?
Thanks in advance
HI Guys,
I am doing the following to read the data in a text file and inserting it into SQL.
1) Open db connection
2) Open Text File
3) loop through text file all along inserting each row into the db
4) close the text file
5) close the db connection
However, the text file has over 400 rows/lines of data that need to be inserted into the db. Each line in the text file is a row in the db. At anyrate, the above script times out. Is there a better, faster way to do this? I can't use Bulk Insert due to permissions previlages.
Thanks in Advance!

Hello Everyone,
I would like to import a text file which contains one string (a large integer) per line not separated by commas or anything else except a carriage return. Does anyone know of an easy way to store this in a database file? I'm open to suggestions if there is more than one way to save this kind of information within a database. I have SQL server 2005 developer edition if that helps in any way. I'm also starting to learn about Linq so if there is some other way you would store this information for that purpose I would love to hear about that as well. C# code is preferable, but I can use the automatic translators if that's all you have. By the way, I'm a newbie to this subject (if you couldn't tell). Thanks in advance.

I have a directory where I have text file with date as a file name, thus all the files have different file names.
But I want to do is import all the text files into sql server 2000 ,right now i have a DTS package which i have up upload all the text files manually , I do not know how to loap it so that it DTS funcation check all the files in a directory and import it into database.
I will appreciate if anyone can help me out of this .
When a DTS fails on a Text Source input with an error like "DTS_Transformation encountered an invalid data value for 'Column1' destination"
Is there a way to get the line number of the textfile where the import failed? It is hard to determine where in my 40,000-line file it found the invalid value for my column.
Thanks,

I am struggling on using bcp to import data. Here is my steps:
1. I created a Test database on my localhost
2. In the Test database, I created a Test table, the query is here for your convenience:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Test](
[id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[network_group_name] [varchar](128) NULL,
[IP] [varchar](15) NULL,
[OS] [varchar](128) NULL,
[Code] ....
I then create the format file used in bcp:
bcp Test.dbo.Test format nul -c -t, -f C:RXieSQLTest.fmt –T
Here is the format file:
9.0
8
1 SQLCHAR 0 12 "," 1 id ""
2 SQLCHAR 0 128 "," 2 network_group_name SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
3 SQLCHAR 0 15 "," 3 IP SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
[Code] ...
The data file is called 20150902FullTest.rpt and the first couple lines (first line is the header and followed by two rows) are posted here:
network_group_name,IP,OS,App_Name,vuln_name,host_score,recordswritten
Domestic,10.216.56.88,Windows XP SP3,Adobe / Macromedia Flash Player,APSB14-17: Adobe Flash Player CVE-2014-0537 Vulnerability,4350,2015-09-01 09:55:07.720

With the format file and the data file, I use the following bcp command:
bcp Test.dbo.Test in C:RxieSQL20150902FullTest.rpt -f C:RxieSQLTest.fmt -T
I got the following error messages:
Starting copy...

Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Invalid character value for cast specification
SQLState = 22005, NativeError = 0

I do want to mention here is the rpt file contains three BOM characters EF BB BF at the beginning of the file.
I have a text file I am trying to import to a table. This text file is in a tab delimited format. I am using DTS to import the data to a new table I made. The fields are varchar and are set to allow nulls & allow 8,000 characters per field.
The error I am getting is that the data exceeds the allowed amount (or something like that) in col4.
Now I have checked everything in column 4 and nothing exceeds 5,000 spaces/characters combined. I have checked the entire sheet (in excel) for that fact, and there is not one single column/row/cell that exceeds 5,000 spaces/characters combined.
What the heck could be causing SQL to tell me I am trying to import too much data in one column when there is nothing that even comes close to 8,000 characters & spaces combined?
Hi,
I have a dts package that imports a number of text files into a SQL Server 2000 database table. The package has been set up to accept a text file with a row delimiter of carriage return and line feed ({CR}{LF}). Some of the text files I receive only have a line feed ({LF}) as the row delimiter and the dts package fails the file. Is there an activex script i can use that will scan the file and change the row delimiter as required?
i was going to use the filesystemobject which allows me to read a line at a time, however the Readline method doesn't read the new line character. The text files are too big to read into one variable and then do a replace.
Any help would be appreciated

Hi,
I'm trying to import a semi-comma separated text file into a SQL db. I have a field in the text file that contains decimal number. As a decimal separator it's used a comma (15,35). When i use a DTS package to create a destination table and import all rows, the field is created as a float field. In this field the decimal comma is removed so the number in SQL becomes 1535. If I change the decimal separator to (.) i works OK. But I need to get it work with comma as decimal separator. In the DTS package the field form the text file is recognised as varchar (8000). Any ideas?

Hi, how are you?
I generated a Data Flow Task where a OLE DB Source connects to a SQL Server and gets data from a table. The next step, writes a txt file with the information (Flat File destination).
All data is imported to txt fiel if this one is configured as Code Page: 1252 (ANSI - Latin I) in the connection manager for the flat file. But if I change Code Page: 500 (IBM EBCDIC - International) which is the one I need beacuse I have to imported in a mainframe, it doesn't work.
This is the error that I receive:

Hi,
Can anyone please help me on how to export data from SQL server 2000 to text file using C#. I could use bcp command to directly import data, but there are some changes need to be made to some codes from other tables in database and the data to be downloaded is also very huge. probably 10 million records.
Hi,
I'm trying to import text file (generated by UNIX - collation ISO LATIN 2) into the database using SQL SERVER 2005 Import and Export Wizard. I have got a problem with importing a decimal number, because in that column are not only decimal numbers (that's OK), but there are also spaces (not null, the column is filled by spaces and it looks like | |). When I'm trying import that file, then will occur the problem of truncation and import stops.
I can import that data by BULK INSERT, but I would like to import it by Import and Export Wizard at once without using subsequent conversions.
Hello,I am receiving a text file that is produced from a mainframe that isout of my control. I am attempting to find a (hopefully clean) way toimport it into a SQL Server database in an automated fashion. I amnot really concerned about how many tables it requires or what theschema looks like as long as the data remains related and ends up inits respective fields (I will probably use scratch tables for this).The data is given to me in a format that is meant to be printed outand read by human eyes (in a text file). The format looks somethinglike this:Begin File:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------1234 1234 1234 1234 XYZ Company 01/01/2003.......More stuff related to XYZ company for a couple of lines ..............(this stuff can easily be parsed by position).......MCARD VISA AMEX DISC-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TOTAL 11111.11 4444.44 5555.55 30.01TRANS FEE .20 .20 .15 .15TRANS AMOUNT 2222.22 888.89 833.33 4.50DISC .0165 .0165 .0365 .0355-------------------------------------------------------------------------------ANOTHER HEADER............More stuff related to XYZ Company................End File:Well, this isn't the exact format, but just an example. The point isthat all of the data in each column is related and should end up inthe same record which is related to the parent record of XYZ Company(or all in a single record in a single table if that is the closest Ican get).Also, the rows are not always present. For example, if TRANS FEEdoesn't apply to anything in the row, then the entire row willcollapse and TRANS AMOUNT would be the next line after TOTAL.I was looking at the bcp utility and dts, but dts doesn't seem to havethe performance capabilities (or reliability for that matter) I amlooking for. Bcp seems like it might work if there is some advancedformatting commands that I can't find in the documentation - Anyone?The best I can come up with is to use a high level language such as C#or VB.NET to parse the text file into another text file that is commadelimited, and then use the bcp utility (or bulk insert) to import itinto SQL Server where I can then use TSQL to manipulate it how I want.I am trying to eliminate the high level language parse and just gostraight from file to database. Does anybody know an easier route?TIA

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm importing comma-delimited text files into a SQL table. The data imports in a seemingly random order. One time I import and the lines appear one way and the next time I import they import another way.
Is there a way to force the text files to import in the same order the data is found in the file?
Hi There,I am looking for information on how to import the txt or csv file tothe multiple table in sql 2000.

Thanks,
i have an excel sheet
in it there is a column that holds values of item numbers
some of these values are preceeded with zeros E.G "00123" (with out the ")
when i view the data in excel i get this little green corner whice states (when pressed) that these values are numbers stoerd as text.
no inside the excel sheet i have no problem with that
but when i try to import the excel sheet into ssis using an excel source task
all these values are imported as nulls!!!
i am lost
i tried converting the format of these cells to numbers but then i loose the leading zeros
what i done temporarly to solve this problem is to accept excel's suggestion and turn these values into numbers
i then import them and convert them to strings in ssis and then ad dthe zeros.
now althouge this works, this isnt realy a solution.
i canot manualy correct each excel file each time i get a new copy
and in the future i will not have the luxuery of having fixed lenght values (so i wont be able to know how many zeroe i"d need to add)
there must be a better way
please help
thanks in advance
Daniel
