I want to load a table from a file. My file has a fixed length(fixed block) and have the same fields of the table. I need the right sintaxis, because The next with errors:
"load from file1 insert into table1"
ANY ADVICE will be greatly apreciatted because I'm not an expert in databases. Thank you veru much.
I have a file which has * as the field delimiter and ~ as the record delimiter, but I don't know how much columns each row will have. Only known is the maximum which can be 15.
The file looks something like: A1*A2*A3*~B1*B2~C1*C2*C3*C4*C5~
SO I have created a table with 15 columns(since 15 can be the max) but now when I try to insert it to that table, I inserts only the entire file into 1 single column.
The command which I am using is: BULK INSERT tablename FROM filename WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = '*' , ROWTERMINATOR = '~')
but this is not giving the correct output.
The output expected is A1 A2 A3 B1 B2 C1 C2 C3 C4 C5
Hi All,I have an asp.net 2.0 app that needs to bulk load data from an xml file into a Sql Server (Express) table. Is there an easy way to do this?Thanks,Claude.
I am new to SSIS but i have avg working knowledge in sql. My problem is as follows ,I have a text pipe dilimited file in some folder and the number of columns and the name of the column is not consistant. It can have N number of column and it can have any column names. I need to load this text file data into a sql table. All that i want is to load this file to SQL Database with some temp name. Once i get the table in SQL Database, i can match the column names of both taget table and this temp table and only push those column which matches with the target table. For this i can frame Dynamic SQL. This part is clear to me.
Now the problem is , I developed a SSIS pacakge to push the text file to SQL Table. I am able to do this. But if i change the column names or added new column SSIS is not able to push the new columns. Is this functionality available in SSIS, is it can be dynamic like this?
I hope i am clear with my prob... if need any clarification please let me know
We are working on a DataWarehouse app. The DW has been loaded wiith transactional data from the start of September. and we want refresh the DW with a full load from the original source. This full load wil consist largely of the same records that we loaded initially in the DW but some records will be new and others will have changed.
During the load I want to direct input records NOT already in the DW to a "mods" table and ignore those input records that alreayd exist in the DW. Can SSIS help out with this task?
I have a requirement to load bulk of csv files to sql table. some times, some columns could not come in csv file(some times 100 columns and some times 80 cloumns). That time the package is getting failed. How to create a table dynamically based on csv file structure.
I am working on an HR project and I have one final component that I am stuck on.
I have an Excel File that is loaded into a folder every month.
I have built a package that captures the data from the excel file and loads it into a staging table (transforming a few bits of data).
I then combine it with another table in a view.
I have another package that loads that view into a Master table and I have added a Slowly Changing Dimension so that it only updates what has been changed. (it’s a table of all employees, positions, hire dates, term dates etc).
Our HR wants to have this data in a report (with charts and tables) and they wanted it to be in a familiar format. So I made a data connection with Excel loading the data into a series of pivot tables.
I have one final component that i cant seem to figure out. At the end of every year I need to capture a count of all Active Employees and all Termed employees for that year. Just a count.
The data is in one table labeled [EEMaster]. To test the count I have the following.
SELECT COUNT([PersNo]) AS HistoricalHC FROM [dbo].[EEMaster] WHERE [ChangeStatus] = 'Current' AND [EmpStatusName] = 'Active'
this returns the HistoricalHC for 2013 as 418.
SELECT COUNT([PersNo]) AS NumbOfTermEE FROM [dbo].[EEMaster] WHERE [ChangeStatus] = 'Current' AND [EmpStatusName] = 'Withdrawn' AND [TermYear] = '2013'
This returns the Number of Termed employees for 2013 as 42.
I have created a table to report from called [dbo.TORateFY] that I have manually entered previous years data into.
TABLE_NAME DESC CODE tab1 table1 A tab1 table1 B tab1 table1 C tab2 table2 D tab2 table2 E tab2 table2 G...
First column values are table names which are already exists in target database. Next two columns[Desc],[Code]Â data gets populate from CSV file to table.
In this scenario, how to load tab1 data into the same table in destination and so on.
Which way will be more standard to accomplish this task? If its a script task using C#, looking for clear script to identify a value changes in the first column.
After the staging_temp data gets inserted into main table.my probelm is to handle such a file where number of columns are more than the actual table.
If you see the sample rows there are 4 column separated by "¯".but actual I am having only 3 columns in my main table.so how can I get only first 3 column from the satging_temp table.
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.Â
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.
Eversince I've moved my import packages to our new dev server, I have been experiencing strange behaviour in my packages that does the archiving of the .csv files which we import.
These 'Archive' packages doesn't do anything fancy in my opinion and most of them work. To explain how the logic works:
The package consists of a For Each Loop that picks up the file, passes it to a string variable. Inside the For Each Loop container, I have 2 File system tasks. 1 Renames the file and then flows out to another that moves it (I am aware of the fact that I can do the rename and move in 1 go but prefered to keep it separate). The FST that does the renaming, gets its source from the For Each Loop and after renaming the file, the file's new fully qualified path is stored in another variable. This variable then gets to be the source of the FST that moves it to the desired location...like i said...nothing fancy
I am getting errors where it tells me there is a mistake on my Rename FST's expresssion, which is nonsense since I run it on exactly the same files on my machine without problems. Another error is even more baffling...I get the Moving FST erroring out and complaining about not finding the renamed file?? how can this be?? it works also on my local machine, I wonder if it sometimes doesn't pass the variables correctly??
I recently got to install SQL service pack 2 on the box, which improved some things but these packages have been copied over from another server which had service pack 2 on. There are also quite a bit of updates that this server should be running and I was wondering whether these might solve the instability I get?
I've been doing some further testing on SSIS and come across what I consider strange behaviour of the FileSystemTask.
This is set to delete a file, using the file name input from a variable.
If the file doesn't exists I would expect the task to fail, but instead it does not. It succeeds ! I would expect this to fail if the file it attempts to delete is not found.
Hi, I am trying to import a excel file in to my database... The improt works fine.. But some of the data is missing though it is present in the excel spread sheet.
I have some data for cusip which are 9 characters and they be a combination of numbers wiht a letter.. for eg.. 123456789 or 12345R789. And in the my spread sheet there are around 73 rows.. until the 62 row it has numbers like 123456789 and from the 62 to 73 it has 12345R789 this is an just example but the data is in that format.
I went to sqlServer 2005 and imported the data using Tasks -ImportData and selected my excel spreadsheet, the user name and password for the database and i selected the sheet i want to import.. and when i preview the data ... Until the 62 row i can see the numbers and after that i cannot see any data in that column.... and when i import the data from 62 row the value is NULL...
So can some please tell me what going on why isnt that data been recognised by the importer in sql server.

how I can load the CSV file data into the sql server table. I know there are ways like bulk insert and other to load the csv file data into the table. But in my case the table doesn't exist and has to be created at the run time. With simple insert in temp table we do like select * into #temp from tablename and that creates the temp table. So. I need something like that which create the temp table and load the data into it. because the CSV file would have different number of columns and names so I can not create the table structure in advance. I have to create the table at run time.Â
what I want to achieve is to load a text file that has email addreses from disk and using the email addresses in the text file look it up against the email addresses in the database table then once matched delete all the users in the table whose email address were in the text file.
I also want to update some users using a different text file.
I need to import data from csv-file to sdf-database (SQL CE 2.0). When I copy the csv-file to my mobile device, it thakes more than 1 hour. The sdf-File later has a size of 20MB.
If I create an sdf-File (SQL CE 3.0) on the desktop, it just thakes a few minutes.
Is it possible to create an sdf-File (SQL CE 2.0) on the desktop legally? My clients don't want to by the SQL-Server, because it should be an inexpensive solution.
Or is there another way to create the database with more performance?
