Hi.
Is there anyway to export the table structures : data type,length,NULLABLE,Description into an Excel file using MS SQL Server?
Or I need to do it manually?
Thank you in advanced.

Dear all,,
I need your help,,I'm work in website project using ASP.NET,,I have to register the users of this site,, the users are over 200,,so,,I'm thinking in away to save my time,,All the information of these users are stored in Excel file,,What I want to do is to imports these data from the excel file into a table in my database(SQLserver database),,Could you help in coding by VB.NETThanks in advance,,
Hi there,
I use Asp.Net Application to upload a Excel file and then a DTS to import data from the file to the SQL2000 and finally to display the read data on the screen.
The DTS starts with setting some variables with the help of Dynamic properties.
On Succes.
DTS rum 2 simultaneous Transform Data task importing data from excel to SQL2000.
This works fine for "most" of the time, but then there are the other times.
One of the TDT(Transform Data task) reads nothing from the excel file. but it can read the data if i upload the same file again right after.
Any kind of input is welcome
Thanx

hours wasted what else is new with Micro --- crap try to import an excel into a table, longest field (via vba macro report) is 278 receiving DB field is 4000 get "Truncation error, I must stop I am a piece of s*** program " the only thing you can find on the web is make sure you have SQL server 2005 SP2 install it same thing and g** only knows what other problems I have just created by installing another piece of Microsoft magic generated in India or China by the best technologists making at least $5 and hour
so MVPs when is this rediculous situation going to be fixed ?? oh that's right your answer will be "go to VISTA" which won't fix my problem but will probably help your stock situation
MS owes me (conservatively) 100K ... my current plan is to install Linux get up on MySQL and NEVER deal with SHoddy half built pieces of garbage again
so where is the fix ???
when will we see it (short of buying another bloated piece of ... oh i mean Vista)
an addendum
i am trying to import 25,000 rows with approx 20 columns from Excel
i added a first column with an ID .... if I import whole table it dies on row 1852 for truncation problems
if I empty that column all goes in make other exel get rid of all rows except ID and bad row (contains web addresses eg http://www. blah blah)
import that excel it dies on row 2395 in other words the first offending cell was no problem if it was the 2cnd row instead of the 15th row
try to tell me this is not a random bug .... long live MYSQL
Hello,
I have a problem with the Import of an Excel file and hope one of you can help me out.
There is a column with mixed data (format is TEXT) in an excel file and I want to import it as Text (DT_WSTR (255)).
So far everything works fine but some fields like "9760020" imports "9.76002e+006".
My settings so far are:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=<FileName>;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=NO;IMEX=1"
In addition I altered the registry entry
TypeGuessRows to 0 (ImportMixedType = Text)
Has someone got a solution?
Thankx

Hi,
Our company wants to allow our customers the ability to import employee data. Each customer's employee data changes depending on things like organisation structure etc. so the format of the data to be imported needs to change. We can do a lot of this with dynamic SQL, but are looking at moving it to SSIS as we think it will save us a lot of pain later on and for other features in SSIS.
We're stuck at a fairly early part of the process as we don't know how to dynamically import our spreadsheet. So far our best idea is to connect to the excel connection as the only step in the data task and then to use a script task on the control task, write code to connect to the excel source (set the excel source to not treat the first row as headers so we can do a 'select top 1 *...' ) then create a dynamic sql command to create the table.
Once this is done we would then have another data task that actually puts the data into the newly created table. This all sounds very difficult though. What are the options for doing what we want to do... have a feeling that we're missing something basic.
Any help appreciated,
TIA, Anthony.
I have created a package that will insert new rows into destination1 if the AnID does not exist in Source1.
This uses a data flow task which contains a oledb source, lookup and oledb destination.
Source1
Field Name AnID Acol1 Acol2 Destination1 Field Name AnID Acol1 Acol2
I want to be able to update the destination1. Acol1 and destination1. Acol2 if the Source1.Acol1 or Source1.Acol2 have changed.
To do this, would I need to create separate data flow task that includes a source, lookup and destination.
Or is this possible to build into my insert new records data flow task...

We have databases with large numbers of tables. We have a separate database for each year. For various reasons, we need to export about 100 of the tables (Structure only, not their data) from last years database into this year's database. What is the best method for doing this? The import/export wizard creates the tables but does not bring in important things like keys.

So my question is, is there any way to create a new table based on the excel file selected including the column name in SSIS? So that l can use the data reader as source to select those columns l am interested on and start the integration.
Thanks.

p/s : The excel header is at the row 7.
Looking for suggestions on this one. What I want to do have have a text file that may have any number of rows and cols (with a predefined format) that a user can update or insert into a table. The definition of the row/cols and data mapping etc, has been done, it is the mechanics of actually doing the below I would appreciate help and advice on.
As the user is an 'end-user' (and has no SQL knowledge at all) the text file to import from will be placed in a predefined location and then a small script will be executed from their PC (as it happens, it's a Mac that runs an app that can exec an SQL command on the currently open database) that will in turn run a stored proc which is then reads in (imports or updates) the appropriate tables witht he contents of the external text file.
Sorry the explanation is a bit long winded but if anyone had any practical suggestions and examples, it would be greatly appreciated.
FYI, they are running SQL 2000 on both XP Pro and W2K3 server.
Thanks

Hi guys,
I need to be able to send a text file with data seperated by tabs to a stored procedure that populates my table.
I am new to SQL and SPROCs that I am not sure how to even start. If you guys have any ideas I would really like to hear them or maybe any on-line docs and examples.
Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
I was wondering about the stability of SSIS when it comes to importing data on a real-time basis. Let's say you have a scenario where flat files, for instance, will be dropped at random intervals ranging from 1 second to 10 seconds apart and the importer has to import these files immediately.
I would imagine that this is done with a package which runs a loop sniffing the directory forever but I stand corrected on the best ways of doing it.
I'm not too sure whether SSIS is a good idea for this as lots of people have had bad comments on SSIS in real-time in my company but they cannot elaborate on why enough to convince me. I have done some pretty cool stuff and must admit that I am a fan of the technology but dont want to defend it into a corner
Please give me your thoughts on this

I got anywhere from a couple hundred to a hundred thousand records that need to be updated or inserted into their SQL Server 2005 end destination. What are some of the best ways to accomplish this? Right now we are doing it manually through line by line updates and inserts. Would I use BC or some other bulk import tool?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm pretty new to using SQL 2005 Management Studio. Generally speaking, it works pretty much the way I'm used to (using Enterprise Manager) as far as moving data around and designing databases is concerned. But I've been trying to import some data to my local SQL server from an online SQL database and I am getting the most bizarre results.
Basically, it appears to work perfectly, but when the import is finished, there is only one new row in the destination table.
I have tried this with two completely different online databases and I have tried importing using a query and just downloading the table as-is, but whatever happens, I just get one row! All of the databases I'm exporting from or importing into are SQL 2000 - I just happen to be using the SQL 2005 client software.
Have you heard of anything like this?
I'm appending the report to the end of this email. As you can see, it says "success, success" all the way down and it clearly states "71236 rows transferred", but when I get done, there's just one.
Any thoughts?
One explanation is that every new row is overwriting the last new row somehow, but I don't think so because the row that actually gets copied is always the first one in the record set, not the last. Unless they're being transferred in reverse order, I suppose.
I'm pretty stumped and I haven't found any useful blogs or help on the web.
Hope you can think of something because I don't have Enterprise Manager on my computer any more and it's going to be a pain to install it.

The problem I am having is that MainPipe is not recognized as a valid type in my Script task, even though I have the imports statements that are listed in the example. I get the message "Error 30002: Type 'MainPipe' is not defined". The other and related problem is that when I type "imports microsoft.sqlserver.dts", the intellisense offers only two choices: {}Runtime and {}Tasks. I don't see any choice for Pipeline. Can anyone tell what I am missing? It seems to be some kind of configuration/installation issue, but I have no idea how to resolve it. I have tried this on 3 different machines, with both the RTM SQL 2005 standard edition, and with SP2 installed, all with the same result. Any help is appreciated

I've been reading about the "table lock on bulk load" option and TABLOCK hint.
So my understanding is by default only row locks are taken out and other queries can read/write data while the bulk load is going on. However if you were doing parallel bulk loads with overlapping keys from a clustered index then they may block each other.
But if the option is enabled, you can do the parallel bulk loads without blocking because a table lock is taken out, however, other processes couldn't read/write the data until they're all done.
Is that the gist of it? I think I got confused by some misinformation. Don't all those row locks eventually likely escalate to a table lock anyway though?
I want to write a batch file that will do just that. The problem is bcp or bulkcopy never works with my code, it doesn't recognize it. Maybe I'm going the wrong way to do this, but I could use some help. Ideally I'll make the batch to do the importing via bulkcopy or something like it of a text file into a table and use windows scheduler to automate it. Be as specific as you can please, I'm very new to sql server.
