Now if i want to get list of tables in each datafile how can i get it ?

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
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm moving data between identical tables and have to use a flat file as an intermediary. I thought: "No problem, SSIS can do a quick export to a file, then move the file to another server, then use SSIS to import the data to the new server."
Seems simple, right?
I'm hitting all sorts of surprising data conversion errors. I used the export wizard to create the export package. This works fine. However using the same flat file definition, the import package fails -- even when I have no destination. That is I have just one data flow task that contains only one control: the Flat File source. When I run the package the flat file definition fails with data type conversion and truncation errors. One of the obvious errors is for boolean types. The SQL field is a bit, SSIS defined the column as DT_BOOL, the output of the data are literal text values "TRUE" and "FALSE". So SSIS converts a sql datatype of bit to "TRUE" and "FALSE" on export, but can't make the reverse conversion on import?
Does anyone else find this surprising? I would expect that what SSIS exports, it can import given all the same table and flat file definitions. Is SSIS the wrong tool to do such simple bulk copies? I'd like to avoid using BCP because this process will need to run automatically within SQL Agent so we can leverage all the error tracking and system monitoring.
Hello all,
Please help....
I have a text file which needs to be created into a table (let's call it DataFile table). For now I'm just doing the manual DTS to import the txt into SQL server to create the table, which works. But here's my problem....
I need to extract data from DataFile table, here's my query:
select * from dbo.DataFile
where DF_SC_Case_Nbr not like '0000%';
Then I need to create a new table for the extracted data, let's call it ExtractedDataFile. But I don't know how to create a new table and insert the data I selected above into the new one.
Also, can the extraction and the creation of new table be done in just one stored procedure? or is there any other way of doing all this (including the importation of the text file)?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
How to make the diffrent data files for different table in a database (SQL SERVER 2K)? By default it is the single data file and log file for the data base. But I wnat the separate data files for all my table in the database. So, any one can help me out in this regard......................???
Rookie qustion here quys,
Using SQL Sever 2005 Express and Visual Web Devoloper Express.
I'm trying to get data from my local SQL sever database to my shared hosting database. SImple enough but...
1.) GoDaddy does not allow remote connections to the DB server
2.) With GoDaddy you can't just upload an .MDF file to your remote directory and script a connection string. You have to reference the DB server. Can't upload DB file to DB server.
As a work around, I've seen several .sql files that have all the T-SQL that will create a database and tables then insert the data. I've google'd extensively and searched several forums with no luck as to how to export my local data to file. I could then copy and paste into an online utility GoDaddys has to insert the data.
Is there a relatively easy way to export table data to a .sql file??? When I try using SQL Server Management Studio Express and "Scipt Table As> Insert To> File", It just gives me something like the following...
INSERT INTO [pubs].[dbo].[authors] ([au_id] ,[au_lname] ,[au_fname] ,[phone] ,[address] ,[city] ,[state] ,[zip] ,[contract]) VALUES (<au_id, id,> ,<au_lname, varchar(40),> ,<au_fname, varchar(20),> ,<phone, char(12),> ,<address, varchar(40),> ,<city, varchar(20),> ,<state, char(2),> ,<zip, char(5),> ,<contract, bit,>)
Plenty of data in this table, no data in script ???
Can SQL Server Management Studio Express do what I wanting to do? If not, any suggestions? Know of a better hosing company?
Hi, I am working on SQL Server 2005 Express and what i want to do is to created a CSV file from a database Table or a View......I search around and find that I Can use BCP for that purpose..Ne other good idea if you people suggest....as BCP is not working on my PC while i am connected to database server...So plz suggest me the right way to do so... thanx

Hi all-
I am in need of some help importing a .CSV file into a SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition.
The problem is I already implemented Bulk Insert task in SSIS but it is not importing any data. My detailed layout is as follows :
In SSIS package1 -
In Control Flow Bulk Insert Task has been inserted
Properties of Bulk Insert Task:
Connection adtc009d.ganny
Destination Table ganny.dbo.t4
Format
Format Specify
Row Delimiter {CR}
Column Delimiter Comma{,}
Source Connection
File r.csv
Options
Options Check Constraints
Maxerrors 20
This bulk insert task is connected to Data flow task, if we click edit to data flow task, data flow section will come, here Flat file source & OLE DB Destination is there. Flat file source is connected to OLE DB Destination.
Properties of Flat File
Connection Manager
Flat file connection Manager
here by clicking new link flat file properties to this.

After designing all this then if I start debugging I could able to get records are imported to a table.
Please suggest me where I am going wrong.
Thanks in advance

I need to export data from a table to a text file, where the data in the table is deleted after written to the file. It is simple using DTS, but I want to do the export in "chunks" of data, committing the delete say after every 1000 rows.
My thought was a stored procedure would be easy enough to do this (done these in Oracle many times), but I don't know the quickest way to export a row of data from a stored procedure to a text file. Isn't using a command-line shell too slow? What are my options?
Hi. my websever mysql manager allows to Insert data from a text file into the table.
currently i have a table with the following fields.
email name country
so i wanto insers data from a text file into this table.
so my question is : how the text file format should be prepared.
i.e. the first record would be > xxxx@yahoo.com john us
I need to do some advanced formatting in the text file, because the data in the text file is bit complex. I have some knowledge of using BCP, BULK INSERT and bit about FORMAT FILES but I want to do some advanced formatting(using IF condition and all) to pull the data from text file.
Can anyone please tell me how can I perform bit advanced formatting using BULK INSERT?

In Access 97, I am trying to attach to a table in my SQL Server 2000db.I use File/Get Data, which displays all the SQL tables including theone I can't attach to. (I can attach to all the other SQL tables.)But, when I select that table I get a message that tells me the nameis invalid. I don't understand this because it gives me the name inthe Get Data dialog, and I don't have to enter it manually.Any ideas?Thanks,Bob C.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have an application taht requires the use of a table. The device that this application works on, has a local memory that does not allow me to insert the 800,000 records that I need. Therefore I have two approaches:
1. To insert less records into my local memory database e.g 40,000 but not row by row, bulk insert is better. How do I do the bulk insert?
2. This is the most prefferable way: To find a way to insert all 800,000 records into a table on the storage card which is 1GB. What do you suggest? Will using threads be helpfull? Any ideas?
I use C# from VS 2005, SQL ME, compact framework 2.0 and windows 4.2.

If the system not able to convert the data from one data type(string,int) to another data type then i need to move the reocord into my error_table.
How to redirect the bad data into another table, while extracting the flat file data ?
Bad Data means if the system not able to convert the data from one data type to another data type.
Say €œX2R322€? data can€™t convert as DATE data type but "070899" can be converted as DATE data type.
Thank you very much.
I am attempting to create a stored procedure that will launch at report runtime to summarize data in a table into a table that will reflect period data using an array type field.

Hey all
I have a bulk insert situation that would be nice to be able to pull off. I have a flat file with 46 columns that are to go into a table. The table, I want to have a 47th column to be updated later on by means of a stored proc saying if the import into the system was sucessful or not. I have the rowterminator set as '"' thinking that would tell SQL to begin on the next row, leaving the importstatus column null but i still receive an error.
First of all, is this idea possible within this insert statement. Secondly, if so, what would be the syntax to tell the insert statement to skip that particular column. It is the last column listed in the table so it just needs to start on the next row after it inserts the last bit of data in the flatfile.
If this is not possible, is it possible to bulk insert into a temp table?
Thanks

I am monitoring the data file growth of the databases in a table. Every week I review to see how much space is left on each database. I am thinking of writing a query where the current free space left is less than 20% of the file size, it sends out an alert to me, so that I can manually resize the file . Is it a good practice to resize the data file manually? If so I believe this need to be done at the time when the server is least busy since it can slow down the database. Also do I need to re-index the tables once the data file is resized?

hi my friends

please help me
M.O.H.I.N
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
This question is around how we can get the data types and lengths populated into the flat file source columns.
In Connection Manager, you have your flat file defined. You can choose "Suggest Types...", and the minimum lengths and correct data types will be returned from within the data in the flat file.
Is there some way to automate this data type definition, but coming from the other direction (coming from the destination table that we are loading)?
For example, you have mapped the columns that will be loaded. Can you then reverse engineer the data types and lengths for the columns in the flat file from the destination table?
TIA
Hi,
I need to export data from a table of SQL server 2000 database, into an Excel 2000 sheet. I tried following query from the sql query analyzer
Code SnippetSELECT * INTO [Excel 4.0;Database=F:ew.xls].[sheet1] FROM tab1
It gave me following error
Code SnippetServer: Msg 2760, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Specified owner name 'Excel 4.0;Database=F:ew.xls' either does not exist or you do not have permission to use it.
The F:ew.xls file is present and it has no additional security applied, hence I think it should be writable.
Please tell me where am I doing wrong.
I don't know if this is the correct news group or not. Let me know if I have to post to some other news group.
