How To Transfer Data From Multiple Text File In To A Database Using SSIS
Mar 20, 2008
Hi All,
i have mutiple text file. let us say,
a1.txt
b1.txt
c1.txt
i have to port this text file data into the table (SqlServer Database) which have the same file structure.
(i.e)
x1 (SqlServer table)
y2 (SqlServer table)
z3 (SqlServer table)
now i have to transfer
a1.txt file data ----to--- x1
b1.txt file data ----to--- y2
c1.txt file data ----to--- z3
using SSIS. like that, i have to transfer more than 250 files at a time.
manually binding 250 files into the package is very cumbersome and time consuming process.
so, can any one give ur valuable sugession to solve this issue.
I'm having problems designing a package to attempt to execute a fast load data transfer but failback to regular speed with error redirection in the event of an error.
The way I designed this was to add one data flow task to my package called "DFT FASTLOAD". The data flow copies a table SRC to another table DEST in the same SQL Server database. In the error handler for the data flow task I copied the original data flow task and changed the name to "DFT REGULARLOAD with Error redirection". In this data flow task I did not use fast load and addtionally redirected errors to a text file.
In the Data Flow Task "DFT FASTLOAD". I am copying from a varchar source field(with non-date strings) to a datetime destination field to force errors. However the Data Flow Task "DFT REGULARLOAD with Error redirection" never seems to start transferring data from source to destination. The data Flow Task "DFT REGULARLOAD with Error redirection" turns yellow (after the error occurs in "DFT FASTLOAD"), but no data is being transferred). It seems like it hangs.
Do I need to increase the MaximumError Count or something? The data flow task "DFT FASTLOAD" does not turn red when the error occurs it just remains yellow, so i assume I'm on the right track since it seems the error is caught.
I have added screenshots ... hopefully these screenshots will clarify my problem.
i have a old database in foxpro and it has to be converted to sql server 6.5 database . the table in the foxpro has been broken into more than 1 tables in the sql server . so how can i transfer the data from 1 foxpro table to different tables in sql server 6.5. vineet
I have a text file which contains the data that has to be inserted into multiple tables.The columnames of table 1 form the H1 follwed by Details D1,D1,D1... The column names of table two form the H2 followed by details D2,D2,D2 so on and similarly for Table 3. Am using a link server to the file directory and schema.ini which defines the column names fofr the text file
Is there any way of defining column names for more than one table through the schema.ini? or is there any other way through I can parse the text file contents to multiple tables?
Sample text file: H1,JobDate,JobNumber,FileName, D1,13/02/2008,asdf123,text1.txt D1,13/02/2008,asdf123,text2.txt D1,13/02/2008,asdf123,text3.txt
Hello friends.... I am looking for 2 things(using c#.net or vb.net and sql svr 2000) 1.convert data from sql server 2000 database (say customers table from northwinds database) to a text file(separated by commas or just plain space) 2.Insert the data from text file back to database. Can someone pls give me the detailed code to achieve this....really need this on urgent basis.......Thank You.
In the full recovery model, if i run a transaction that inserts 10MB of data into a table, then 10 MB of data is moved in the data file. Does this mean then that the log file will grow by exactly 10MB as well?
I understand that all transactions are logged to the log file to enable rollback and point in time recovery, but what is actually physically stored in the log file for this transactions record? Is it the text of the command from the transaction or the actual physical data from that transaction?
I ask because say if I have two drives, one with 5MB/s write speed for the log file and one with 10MB/s write speed for the data file, if I start trying to insert 10 MB of data per second into the table, am I going to be limited to 5MB/s by the log file drive, or is SQL server not going to try and log all 10 MB each second to the log file?
I have a flat file which is loaded into the database on a daily basis. The file contains rows of strings which I load into a table, specifically to a column of length 8000.
The string has a length of 690, but the format is like 'xxxxxx xx xx..' and so on, where 'xxxx' represents data. So there are spaces, etc present in the middle.
Previously I used SQL 2000 DTS to load the files in, and it was just a Column Transformation with the Col001 from the text file loading straight to my table column. After the load, if I select len(col) it gives me 750 for all rows.
Once I started to migrate this to SSIS, I allocated the Control Flow Task and specified the flat file source and the oledb destination, and gave the output column a type of String and output column width of 8000. But when I run the data flow task it copies only 181 or 231 characters out of the 750 required. I feel it stops where it finds the SPACES and skips the rest.
I specified row delimiters or CR, and LF. I checked the file under UltraEdit and there were no special characters in the file that would cause the problem.
Any suggestions how I can get it to load the full data?
I am trying to load a file using SSIS that contains records with two different layouts in one data file but in the flat file connection I can only specify one layout and this is causing the records with the second layout to be loaded incorrectly.
The different record layouts can be identified by the first character of the record. Example: If Field begins with "A" then assign one layout; "B" assign second layout.
Has anybody come accross this issue, if so some guidence would be appreciated.
Happy 2008!!!! I am inserting data into a tab delimted text file using SSIS package. After data insetion some extra tabs get added between columns in some rows in the text file. Can we programmatically delete the extra tabs from the text file, if so how to use/implement the code inside the SSIS package? Any pointer/suggestions are welcome.
I am new to SQL Server 2005 SSIS Packages. I want to transfer data from multiple tables from sql server to oracle database. I cannot use export wizard as it creates new tables in the destination (oracle) DB. I already have tables created in the destination DB. When I created an SSIS package, it allowed me create package to tranfer data for only for one table from source to destination. I have created DTS packages in 2000, where you have source db and destination db and just add links for multiple tables. Is there a way I can do it in SSIS. Please let me know.
Hi everyone I have a directory that contains a lot of text files that have data I need to draw from. I want to know if it is possible to write a program that will read all of the text files in the directory and pull out data and save it to a new textfile. For example: Each text file is formatted this wayColumn1, Column2, Column3"1","xxxx","yyyy""2", "xxxx", "yyyy""3", "XXXX", "yyyy" I want to put all lines that begin with 1 in one text file, all the lines that begin with two in another text file, and the same with all lines that begin with 3. my problem is I want to be able to point at the folder that contains those files and have it read every text file in the folder and perform the operation. If this is possible can someone point me in the right direction on how to get started.Thank you for any help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have created SSIS package to load a text file into a table. Source system shares 10 text files and recently they stopped generating data for one of the text file (comping empty), after few months they will start generating the data for the empty file batch processing.
The Issue here is Data Flow task is getting failed while loading empty text file into table. How to handle this empty file load issue in SSIS package.
I'm trying to export data from one of the table in my SQL 7.0 database into text file. Can someone tell me how can i do this using SQL Query instead of using BCP (command line) ?? Thank you in advance.
I have a delimited text file with 650+ columns. The sum of the column lengths of a single row, if fully populated, exceeds 30K bytes. The "killer" fields lengthwise are the "Description" fields. If they were removed from the input file, the remainig columns would occupy about 5000 bytes, which is within SQL max row length.
Can SSIS be used to created these two tables? (one without description fields, the other with those field but arranged vertically in the table rows).
The fundamental issue is I can not import a single file row into a sql table because that row length could exceed the max byte count for a row.
I'm having (what seems like) a common problem, but I haven't found a working solution
I simply want to copy a database, and it's logins, stored procedures etc to a different server. I have tried the copy database wizard, and that works fine UNLESS there are any logins associated with the database. When there are logins associated, I run the wizard and the error logs show:
"'myLogin' is not a valid login or you do not have permission."
(I do have permissions, I'm admin on both machines)
I tried creating an SSIS package and use the 'Transfer Database" task, and I get the same error. Are my admin credentials getting lost on the way somewhere?
I don't want to import/export data. I don't want to backup/copy/restore. I want to make a copy and plonk it somewhere else!
any ideas?
oh, and the two machines are running sql2005 sp2, although one of the machines is 64 bit.I have also tried both methods of copying ('detach and attach' and 'SQL Management Object') without success
Hello Experts, I am createing one task (user control) in SSIS. I have property grid in my GUI and 2 buttons (OK & Cancle). PropertyGrid has Properties like SourceConnection, OutputConnection etc....right now I am able to populate Connections in list box next to Source and Output Property.
Now my question to you guys is depending on Source Connection it should read that text file associated with connection manager. After validation it should pick header (first line of text file bases on record type) and write it into new file when task is executed. I have following code for your reference. Please let me know I am going in right direction or not.. What should go here ? ->Under Class A

I need to do data transfer from three tables in SQL server 2005 to the single Excel sheet as a report. Even If I create a Lists or named range, I couldn't able to transfer the data into the Lists. The idea is, whenever the data is transfered into the Lists, the three Lists (or Range) having data should grow separately.
Currently the data is transfered out of the Lists.

I set up a basic Transfer Database task (online, copy) to copy a DB. It works great except for the fact that it isn't transferring the PK's and FK's. It also looks like it did not transfer the views. Any idea why? Anything else the Transfer Database task doesn't actually transfer?
Hi All,1. i want to transfer the .csv file data into sql server table, itried with the DTS but while creating DSN it not prompt to attechthe .csv file. give me the proper steps to perform the datatransfer...2. i want result of my query into excel or text file by using the sqlquery( like Select * from employee where emp_salary>10000 to 'c:emp.xls).i know the other way right click into query analyzer windowand select option result to file, but want the result by using SQLquery.....
I am a complete newbie to SSIS. I can create a simple package to transfer data between SQL instances and thats about it.
I have tableA (source data) and tableB (Destination data). TableA has 4 column and tableB has 5. I want to transfer all of the columns from tableA into TableB, but the 5th column in tableB needs to be populated with the ServerInstance name of the server TableA sits on. Do I need to have multiple data sources to achieve this? I have tried but no matter how I set it up, the Column in the destination is set to ignore.
Hello, I'm Designing sql server 2005 SSIS Packages. According to my requirment i have a sequence container. It has few data flow task, on success of one next one is running. If any one of them get failed then it should roll backed all the transaction. Each Data flow task transfering a data from one server to another server in similar table.
And i want to use SSIS package dynamically load data from database into three separate flat file, each table into each file.
I know i got to use for each loop task ADO.Net schema row set enumerator, with OLEDB connection manager, select table name or view name variable from access mode list, but the problem comes, as table name is dynamic then flat file connection is also dynamic, i am using visual studio 2013...
Currently, my (small) intranet site is storing it's data on a remote SQL server. The danger with this, as has happened several times now, is that the application is twice as vulnerable; if either the webserver or the dataserver malfunctions or is unreachable, the application won't work.
I only recently discovered the possibility to use local database files (MDF files), and this seems like a much better solution for my site. But now I want to transfer the tables that are residing on the dataserver, to the MDF file. The database only contains tables. How do I handle this? I do not have access to the dataserver, only to a few databases that are residing on it. Is this possible using Visual Studio 2008? I have read about a "Bulk Copy Program" (bcp) which is included with SQL Server, but I cannot find a download for just that application.
Or is this totally not the way to go? I've discovered MDF files are a bit more problematic with concurrent connections; having tables open in Visual Studio results in "Site offline" or "Cannot open database" error messages on the website. Problems I've never had to deal with using SQL Server, but they are only minor problems.
The Database Trasnfer Task has failed with the following error......failed with the following error: "Invalid object name 'dbo.exampleViewName.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
I set up a task to do a transfer of a SQL 2000 db to SQL 2005 in Integration Services (selected my servers, dbs, and chose DatabaseOnline method). In debug mode it processes for a little while and finally errors with:
[2] Progress: Starting database transfer.. Step 1 out of 2 complete
Error: The Execute method on the task returned error code 0x80131500 (An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement.). The Execute method must succeed, and indicate the result using an "out" parameter.
Hi All, I have created fact tables and dimension tables in datawarehouse database, and i created a olap cube from those tables. I want to run SSIS Package which populates these fact and dimension tables from datasources.
