I need to import few tables from MS Access to MS SQL but the table structure in Access is always different, as I would like the destination table in SQL to be.
Therefore I would like that a table would be created in SQL at runtime, according to the structure the Access table accessed has.
Access Connection
create a new Connection Manager by right-clicking in the Connection Managers section of the design area of the screen. Select New OLE DB Connection to bring up the Configure OLE DB Connection Manager dialog box. Click New to open the Connection Manager. In the Provider drop-down list, choose the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider and click OK.
Browse to the Access database file and connection set up---all good!!!
Dataflow task
Add an OLE DB Source component
Double-click the icon to open the OLE DB Source Editor. Set the OLE DB Connection Manager property to the Connection Manager that I created . Select Table from the Data Access Mode drop-down list.
I cannot see the tables set up as set up as pass-through table types to a Oracle 9i db
Any ideas please help
thanks in advance

I have several bcp output files I need to import into tables. I do not have format files for them. As far as I know they are in native format. I do not know the layout of the destination table they would populate.
1) how can I determine from the bcp file itself the schema of the destination table? Once I know that I should be able to import the data into the table.
Thanks
I want to import an Access table into a SQL table. Some of the integer Access fields have a null value, but when they are imported I want them to be 0 or zero in my SQL table. How can I do this please ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen importing a Microsoft Access97 database table, I noticed it imported Text fields as datatype NVARCHAR instead of VARCHAR. Why is this, and will this cause me any problems in the future (i.e. related fields in other tables may be VARCHAR,etc)? If so, what can I do about it?

Question: Why would I not be able to import an Access 97 table inwhich some records have null values in fields that allow null values?Wouldn't the table's design be imported first, bringing the columns'"allow nulls" attribute with it?I'm dealing with both text and numeric columns. Not all columnscontaining nulls cause an error.Thanks,Bob C.

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)

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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHello Folks,
Im trying to use Integrations services to import a file on a daily basis.
My flatfile has to different type of rows that comes from an transaction system, it looks like this:
132,1/1/2008,00,123654,text,1,123.00
132,1/1/2008,00,123652,text,1,23.00

1125,1/1/1/2008,01,149.00;Cash;EUR;01;12
After the date you can see that there is two digits number either 00 or 01. The rows also have a different lengthts.
When ever that columns contains 00 the line should be inserted to a special text file, if the columns contains 01 it should to another file.
How can I solve this in a good way?
One of the problems I have is that when I try to import the rows the flat file connections indicates(erros message) that I have partial row in the file which is true since the the rows with the columns content 01 have more fields then the other.
Thanks for you help.

View 7 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have the following scenario, and my main question is why Excel Formatted file errors out while TXT formatted file does not? Any workaround would be helpful, but I do want to avoid dtexec, and still want to manage it as SSIS.
MAIN ISSUES - permission issue & excel connection issue
SSIS Package Run Directly (not SQL Job, not automated)
* Every format and and folder location works!
Package Run under SQL JOB
TXT Format
A. Project Folder - GOOD
B. Client Folder - FAILS!
Conclusion - TXT Format works, but Client Folder does not have sufficient permission for PRODsvcSQLDMS
EXCEL Format
A. Project Folder - FAILS!
B. Client Folder - FAILS!
Conclusion - EXCEL Format DOES NOT work. Maybe SSIS Excel Connection Bug.

I have an excel file with 2 rows that I am importing into a staging table. The format on the excel sheet is a custom one which is DD-MMM-YY so in the actual cell the data appears as 01-NOV-07 and 30-OCT-07. The format of the data in the input window above the spreadsheet is 01/11/2007 and 30/10/2007.
The format in the Excel source of the data flow task is Unicode String [DT_WSTR] length 255. I then have a data conversion step that changes this to a string [DT_STR] length 255 as the staging table is non unicode. I then have a derived column function that simply does a ISNULL replace on NULL values to blank. Finally there is an OLE DB destination which is the staging table.
This is where the problem occurs. If I breakpoint the package here and look at the staging table the dates now read as 11/1/2007 and 10/30/2007. The data type in the staging table is varchar 255. I am not doing any other transformations or T-SQL stuff on the data - it is being flipped to MM/DD/YYYY during the import.
By the way I am english hence I need the english variation on the date. I know i could put some T-SQL in to flip it around to english again but wondered why it was happening like this
thanks in advance

Hi all...
I'm connected to a network with 3 Servers ( 3 sql servers on 3 different machines )
How can i know the name of the servers using SQL Code?
Thanks
How can I know how many connections are open at a given point of time while I am testing an ASP.Net application? The application uses SQL Server 2000 as its database.
In SQL Server 2005, I hava a client where I do not have access to their SQL Server. I update the database structure by giving them scripts which they run. As I update the structures I occasionally need to delete a constraint, then typically recreate it later. Usually I use this type of snippet:
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.default_constraints
WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[ConstraintName]')
AND parent_object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[tablename]'))
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[tablename] DROP CONSTRAINT [ConstraintName]
This assumes I know the constraint name. A lot of the older constraints have random type names which I assume are different on their server than mine; they were not explicitly given names when created, so they would heve been given names by SQL Server.
Is there a way to delete a constraint without knowing its name? For example, delete all constraints associated with a field, or all constraints ssociated with a table?
Management Studio is an option, but for my client that involves a higher degree of paperwork and permission seeking than just running a script.
Many thanks,
Mike Thomas
I use SCD to extract and send as output further in the data flow only modified and new records. Before I write to DB and after SCD does its work, I have to execute different controls on both modified and new records. So, I send both SCD outputs (changing attribute updates output and new output ) to a Union All transformation, I execute the needed controls and then I want to insert/update the records in DB.
Is there a way to know which records SCD identified as new/modified after I unified them with a union all transformation? I can create a derivate column for one of the scd outputs and use it in a conditional split before writing to DB but I'd like to know if SCD sends any flags down the dataflow?
Hope I made the problem clear.
Thanx

I'm working on a VB.NET project where we are intending to use MSDE as ourback-end database. The actual number of users is expected to be low and Idon't have any concerns as to whether MSDE will be up to the job (most ofthe time). I'm aware that if we end up with lots of users connecting to oursite at once (which may happen as certain times in the year when people needinformation for deadlines) then the performance governor in MSDE will kickin and slow everything down.What I don't know is how do I find out whether the performance governor haskicked in?I would like to know how to monitor this so we can make an educated decisionas to when we need to migrate to a full version of SQL Server (if at all).Can anyone point me in the right direction for finding this out?thanks,Brian Cryer.

Hi Folks,
Always sorry to have to ask what is most likely such a simple question. However I'm in no way a programmer, I'm just patching something together using scripts I've found all over the shop.
I'm reading in an excel source using a dataflow script component. I build up a SQL String in Vb.Net using the output column names and query the spreadsheet via microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 then processing it in code. I don't want to use the Excel Source task btw, more for the fact I want to learn from this as well as other less important reasons.
This all works fine. Adding new columns to the output means the query string dynamically changes without the script ever having those columns defined in code. Easy stuff so far.
The issue I have is writing back into the outputbuffer the results without explicitly mapping the result to the output column names.
An easy example to see is..
Excel Spreadsheet Looks like..
ServerName
Server1
Server2
Server3
Output Column Names..
ServerName
Code Snippet..
While Reader.Read
With OutputBuffer
.AddRow()
.ServerName = Reader.GetString(0)
End With
End While
Instead of defining what the column name (servername) is, I want to map back by matching the source column header to the output column name. By doing this I won't ever need to change any code when I add or remove output columns.
Could someone lend a hand with this, and I'll buy you a virtual beer or two. I've already spent more time searching for an answer than I have writing the code thus far, and I think my heads getting more and more muddled by it.
Many thanks,
Jode
