My flat file I import to the table is set up as 2004/06/16 09:40:07.994 comma delimited, and i import this using DTS into a datetime field. but when I run a query on the table, the only thing I see is 2004/06/16 showing up, how come I can't see the time?
Thx for your help!
After testing out the application i write on the local pc. I deploy it to the webserver to test it out. I get this error.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The conversion of a char data type to a
datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
Notes: all pages that have this error either has a repeater or datagrid which load data when page loading.
At first I thought the problem is with the date, but then I can see
that some other pages that has datagrid ( that has a date field) work
just fine.
anyone having this problem before?? hopefully you guys can help.
Thanks,
I have a flat file with a datetime field as follows
12419,1,'T','P',229.72,2,'N',2004/may/05 19:47:42.546001
12419,1,'T','R',605.38,76,'N',2004/may/05 19:47:42.546000

12419,3,'T','R',696,38,'N',2004/may/05 19:47:42.546004
I can NOT get last field i.e. the date time field to import into SQL werver 2005 using import wizard.
I can manually enter the value in the table so I know it can handle data in the format it is in.. (table field is date time) but I cant get import wizard to read the file and bring in the data.. It bombs at coloumn 7... which is the date field.. It works fine if I delete the milisecond portion i.e. anything after the dot but I need to keep that information.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a column of type datetime in sqlserver 2000. Whenever I try to insert the date
'31/08/2006 23:28:59'
I get the error "...datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value"
I've looked everywhere and I can't solve the problem. Please note, I first got this error from an asp.net page and in order to ensure that it wasn't some problem with culture settings I decided to run the query straight in Sql Query Anaylser. The results were the same. What else could it be?

I setup this package to import data from a Sharepoint list to a SQL Server data table. The primary key of my SQL table is mapped to the Title column of my Sharepoint list. There is a possibility that duplicate values will be entered in the Title field of the Sharepoint list. So when importing data into my table via SSIS, my package always error-out when there it comes across duplicate values. how you others have managed data integrity when importing from a Sharepoint list with the Title column being mapped to the primary key of a table.

ALABAMA
STATE
but i m getting imported
as :
ARIZONA ALABAMA STATE
How to Format a single column while importing?

Hi all :)
I'm wondering if SSIS will be the solution to the problem I'm working on.
Some of our customers give us an Excel sheet with data they want to insert or update in the database.
I've created a package that will take an Excel sheet, do some data conversion so the data types match up and after that I use a Slowly Changing Data component to create the insert/update commands.
This works great. If a customer adds a new row to the Excel sheet or updates an existing row changes are nicely reflected in the database.
But now I€™ve got the following problem. The column names and the order of the columns in the Excel sheet are not standard and in the future it could happen a customer doesn't even use an Excel sheet but something totally different.
Can I use SSIS for this? Is it possible to let the user set the mappings trough some sort of user interface? I€™ve looked at programmatically creating the package but I€™ve got to say that€™s quit hard to do€¦ It would be easier to write the whole thing myself than to create the package trough code ;)
If not I thought about transforming the data in code before I pass it on to the SSIS package in something like XML. That way I can use standard column names and data types.
So how should I solve this problem? Use SSIS or not?
Thnx :)

I'm new to SQL and DTS packages. I am trying to import data from an excel spreadsheet to an SQL server table via DTS package. It seems that the excel task looks at the first few records in a column to determine the datatype for that column. If the first few records are text, the entire column is imported as text. If numeric, the entire column is imported as numeric.
There are about 25,000 records. In one field, the most important one, about half of the records begin with letters and the rest are all numbers. It is the subscriber ID field, and some subscriber IDs are all numbers, some are letters and numbers. The entire column should be imported as text. However, when I run the transform data task from the excel connection, none of the records that are all numbers are imported. I end up correctly importing only 13,000 of the 25,000 records. The rest are imported with the subscriberID field as <NULL>.
I tried using the CAST or CONVERT function in the SQL query, but get the error message "Undefined Function."
Can anyone give me some help? Thanks,
Jim
hello,
I create a txt file with a bash script, and i need to use it in a DTS package. But, i don't know how i can specify the type of my column. So in the transformations task, i have an error due to an incompatible type. what can i do to fix this error ?
thanks,
I am creating a DTS package that is combining several tables, converting one column of data to a new column removing all special characters, then exporting the unique data based on this column and another column, and the max of other duplicates to a new table.
Now that I have the data in this table, I want to import any data that is not in my main table.
This "CLEANED" table does not have a designated "key" column, but the table I want to import the unique items does have an ID column that is also a primary key column.
DTS seems to want me to have a Key column to reference when importing from the CLEANED table to the MAIN table.
How would I go about checking the MAIN table against the CLEANED table, having DTS import only the unique items from the CLEANED table that are not present in the MAIN table based on three columns? The rest of the columns I want to just extract the MAX data from the duplicates.
Now here is the query I use to extract the unique values from the "CLEANING" table to get the data to the "CLEANED" table, but do not know how to use this to import into the MAIN table using something similar.
Code:
select
partno2,
MAX (partno) as partno,
alt,
MAX (C_alt) as C_alt,
Max (cmpycd) as cmpycd,
MAX (type) as type,
compFN,
MAX (pndesc) as pndesc,
MAX (equipment) as equipment
into tbl_CLEANED
from tbl_CLEANING
group by partno2, alt, compFN
ORDER BY partno, compFN
The three main columns I need to check against are:
partno2
alt
compFN
I have named the columns the same in both tables.
partno2 is the column that has been copied from partno with all special characters & spaces removed. This is the main column I am using as a reference for unique values, then if no match, I have it check against the alt column, then the comFN column. If there are no matches in any of these columns, then I want to extract the data to the MAIN table.
How can I compare these tables and import only unique info to the MAIN table?
In addition, how can I also check items that are the same in both tables and update the MAX info for the other columns (not the three I use for reference - these I need to leave alone) and update those if there is more data in the CLEANED table then in the MAIN table?
I have created a DTS package for SQL Server, saved this as a VB file and upgraded this to the .NET framework.
It is now saved in a file called Shortages.vb.
What I want to do now is add this to an existing ASP.NET project and be able to call this DTS function by the click of a button.
Is this possible and how can I go about it? Can I just add it to the Click event of a button?
Hallo every one,
I', working for a school project.
The setuation is an old database that has to be repaird.
All the data from each table of the old data base are stored in different tabdelimited text files.
I designed a new database, but the tables are a little different.
When I try to import the data I get some errors, because of the changed tables.
An example of my new setuation is a new table thas as colums from 2 different tabdelimited text files.
My question is, how do I solve thos problem!
Do I have to use DTS?
What do I have to do.
tnx

How can you can import results into table from system procedures.
For Ex. if you exec sp_spacesued, how do I import the results into the table.

I have a process that calls a proc that BCP's a delimited file into a table. Well the SOX police say a header and footer must be added to the file. Needless to say this screws my BCP process. Does anyone know how to strip a header and footer record from a text file using transact sql or have any other suggestions to strip the records?

we are trying to import data from a flat file using an uptick (`) as a column separator and {CR/LF} as a record terminator. There is a variable number of columns for each record. The initial record in the flat file has 3 columns. Upon processing this record, the import sets all records to 3 columns and does not read the column separators past the second column (even though there may be up to 7 columns in the record).
This method worked ok in DTS2000 and it works with Excel. Any suggestions?
Thank You
There's alot of discussion in this Forum concerning the importation of data into SSE.
I recently discovered that you can quite easily export tables directly from MSAccess to SSE. Simply 1) select the desired MSAccess table, 2) choose 'Export' from the file menu, 3) in the 'Save as Type' drop down, select ODBC databases(), 4) at this point, an 'Export' dialog with the name of the selected table appears, 5) click 'OK', 6) the Data Source Manager appears - go to 'Machine Data Source' and select a DSN that connects to SSE (you need to have set this DSN up before), 7) click 'OK' and and your table will be exported from MSAccess to SSE.
For whatever reason, the table you exported will always end up in SSEs 'Master' database tables. There is probably some work-around to correct this, but I havnt spent much time fooling with it.
Now, MSAccess has a very good parser for importing several types of external data, including Excel worksheets, CSV files, and text data. However, to get a satisfactory into MSAccess, you may need to edit your data files. Then, to import the data, from MSAccess select 'Get External Data' -> 'Import' from the File menu and just follow the instructions.
BTW, there is alot of confusing discussion concerning the ability of SSE to use DTS. Some have said that it is not supported, only in the full-blown version. Others have suggested you can download the DTS application from Microsoft and use it with SSE although it does not show up in the SSEMS directory tree.
I downloaded the file 'SQLServer2005_DTS.msi' and tried to install it. It appeared to install OK but I cannot find it anywhere on my machine. Weird, eh.
While most of this thread is in the way of a comment, I have a couple of questions:
1 - Is there some way to connect a machine DSN to a database in SSE that is other than 'Master' ?
2 - Are there better ways to import data into SSE ?
3 - Is there some way to move or copy a table from one SSE database to another ?
BTW, please do not respond to this thread by posting some link. Many of the links I have attempted to follow from this Forum are either irrelevant to the posted problem or are no longer available. If I wanted that kind of help, I could use Google or go to the library. Try to answer the question(s) directly. If you don't know the answer, say so, or at least, don't answer at all.
With SQL 2000 there was an Import/Export facility for importing data into a Sql database. Could somebody tell me how to import an old database which could be in Csv text or Paradox into my new SQL 2005 tables. Thanks

View 6 Replies View RelatedHere is the scenario: I have an excel spreadsheet that contains 182 columns, and I need to move this data into a semi-normalized database for reporting. The SQL Server database schema has 11 tables. Some of the tables are going to use identity columns for their PK, other tables are using a value that comes from this spreadsheet for their PK values.Anyway, I have never done a DTS package of any significance before, and know I most likely need to write some VBScript to handle sticking data into the proper data tables, etc.I am just hoping someone can point me at a good resource, give me an alternative means of doing this (this is a process that will need to happen whenever a new Excel spreadsheet is dropped into a folder or on a schedule, either one). I would love to write some C# code to handle these things, but a DTS package would probably be the best, I just don't know where to start.Thanks,
