View 1 RepliesHello!! searching information about how to migrate some date from an old data base (any tipe) from SQL I´v found this:
LOAD DATA [LOW_PRIORITY | CONCURRENT] [LOCAL] INFILE 'file_name.txt'
[REPLACE | IGNORE]
INTO TABLE tbl_name
[FIELDS
[TERMINATED BY 'string']
[[OPTIONALLY] ENCLOSED BY 'char']
[ESCAPED BY 'char' ]
]
[LINES
[STARTING BY 'string']
[TERMINATED BY 'string']
]
[IGNORE number LINES]
[(col_name_or_user_var,...)]
[SET col_name = expr,...)]
Does anybody know how does it works and how to use it????I´d like to know because I have to load data from a text file to a SQL Data Base and this seems to be te fastest an easiest way to do it...Thanks!!!!bye!
I want the users of my site to be able to write a couple of paragraphs, save it to SQL Server and then have it read back and look the same. I don't want the users to be able to add any html to the text they submit. I just want them to be able to seperate or indent their paragraphs.
At one point, I had a textbox that saved text to the server and read it back the same way it was originally inputed. However, I can't figure our what I had done to make it work.
Any ideas?
Thanks

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi Dear All!
I am Crystal Reports Developer and I am new in SSIS environment. I have started to read Professional SQL Server 2005 IS book. I am really confused by many tasks to choose.
I need to develop reports from data warehouse. But before I have to send the data from operational database (SQL Server 2000) to warehouse (SQL Server 2005) monthly - I have a script for retrieving the data. For my package, I chose Data Flow Task, Execute SQL Task, and OLE DB Destination, and it does not work.
Please help me if I can look similar packages performing?
Thank you!!
Hi,
I have problem I'm hoping someone can give me some pointers with.
I need to load data from several text files into one table. The format of the files are simple - each line is comma separated, with double quotes around each element e.g.
"parameter 1","value 1","parameter 2","value 2"....
"parameter 12","value 12","parameter 13","value 13"...
However, the files themselves will have different numbers of columns e.g file 1 may have 8 columns, file 2 may have 16 columns.
I'm going to load the data into a table that has at least as many columns as the longest file. The table columns are all varchar, and are named simply as [Col001] [Col002] [Col003] etc...
The first two columns of this table must be left empty during the load (I use these later on), so the data entry will start at [Col003].
My question is what is the best way to do this? I thought perhaps using a BULK INSERT in a stored procedure might do the trick, but I haven't used it before and haven't got very far. I gather another approach might be to use bcp utility. Someone has also suggested a DTS package, but the filenames will be suffixed with current date/time stamp, so i don't think that will work.
My preferred appraoch would be the BULK INSERT..but i'm open to any pointers.
Many Thanks

In MySQL, I use "LOAD DATA INFILE 'my_path/data_file.txt'" to load datafrom a plain text file. Of course, the actual statement is a bit morecomplex once one considers the various options (e.g. comma delimited vstab delimited, record termination strings, &c.).My problem is that I have yet to find the equivalent within MS SQLserver. I did find a LOAD statement in T-SQL, but at first glance itseems to do something completely different.How does one normally load data from a plain text file into a table inMS SQL? This needs to be relatively efficient since, once inproduction, it will be used to load tens of megabytes of data into thedatabase (a feed from a data provider). Is it flexible enough to allowme to specify whether the fields are tab delimited vs comma delimited,optionally enclosed by quotes, record termination charactors, &c.?All I really need is direction to the right part of the T-SQL reference(MS SQL Server 2005). Anything else, such as examples, is icing on thecake.ThanksTed

Hi,i wanna develop an web-database application with ASP.NET,C#, SQL server 2000.i already have some data whichs been in text format(text file) and now, i want to import the same into my database.the problem is, the text file has got many line breaks and also its not well formated to import it using DTS.Can any one help me out in importing the same.thanks in advance
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 6000+ text files, average size 400 kb, that I need to load into 1 table in Sql Server 2000. Does anyone know of an easy way to do this? I thought I would just write a little VB app to loop through all the files in the directory and insert the data into an existing table but there must be an easier way.
Any help would be appreciated.
I need to extract data from text files (around 200) and import into sql server tables. I tried using SSIS foreach loop container but could not manage it. Can anyone guide me how this can be done?
All help appreciated.
Thanks,
I have this following code here...
Code Snippet
SET @SQL = 'Select * FROM IdentipassNew.dbo.CBORD_Interface_Final'
SET @BCPBody = 'bcp "' + @SQL + '" queryout "d:smartcardcbordudfcbordbody.txt" -T -fc:cpbody.fmt'
Problem is, there is over 85,000 records in that set and that is too big for the text file, so I was wondering if it would be possible to select like 30,000 records output those to a text file, then select the next 30,000 and create another file, then finally get the remaing records and put that in another text file. Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.
Hi all,
I got a situation here.....
From a source table (in SERVER1) I get ids of candidates and from another source (in SERVER2) I get their CVs (text files stored in various Folders). My destination table (in SERVER3) has two fields, CandidateId & CandidateCV.
I have to transfer the data in above fashion for nearly 1 million records.
How can I write a DTS package which picks up the text file from SERVER2 based on the CandidateId which comes from SERVER1? Probably I need some kind of looping mechanism which changes the candidate id & his CV file.
Can anyone help???
Thanks...

I need someone to give me a small briefieng on how a enterprise data warehouse (EDW)differs from a regular database?
Currently we have an appplication that accesses a database with about 18 tables. We also have a Data Warehouse. For some reason I was thinking that it would be possibly to migrate thedatabase into the data warehouse. The reason is that in looking at the schematic design forthe data warehouse there are some data tables that could also be used by our application that uses the DB.
I guess I am confused because I am not sure if a data warehouse is used in the same wayas a database?

Any takers,
Thanking you in advance.

I am transferring data from Oracle tables into text files, and facing these errors.
1. I have a varaible working as an expression and my query goes into that variable and onwards that variable is passed to dataflow task, which parse the query. my query is simple saying "Select * from PLS.ABC" where PLS is my schema, but the task generates error "Opening a rowset for "Select * from PLS.ABC" failed. check that the table exists in the database. and surely the table is there.
2. I have a foreach loop that iterates through all the table names and the table names are passed onwards to the varaible query, the dataflow task inside the foreach loop gets the variable query and will generate text files based on tablenames which i have supplied in another variable to the connectionstring property of the flatfile destination. Is it possible or not. all the tables have different columns and i need the output in text files.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to update a large table, about 55 million rows, without filling the transaction log, in the shortest time as possible. The goal is to alter the table and change the data type for Text column from VARCHAR(7900) to NVARCHAR(MAX).
Since I cannot do it with an ALTER TABLE statement (it would fill up the transaction log) I'm thinking to:
- rename column Text in Text_OLD
- add Text column of type NVARCHAR(MAX)
- copy values in batches from Text_OLD to Text
The table is defined like:
create table DATATEXT(
rID INTEGER NOT NULL,
sID INTEGER NOT NULL,
pID INTEGER NOT NULL,
cID INTEGER NOT NULL,
err TINYINT NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
I've thought about a stored procedure doing this but how to copy values in batch from Text_OLD to Text.
The code I would start with (doing just this part) is the following, but maybe there are more efficient ways to do it, or at least there's a better way to select @startSeq in the WHILE loop (avoiding to select a bunch of 100000 sequences and later selecting the max).
declare @startSeq timestamp
declare @lastSeq timestamp
select @lastSeq = MAX(sequence) from [DATATEXT] where [Text] is null
select @startSeq = MIN(Sequence) FROM [DATATEXT] where [Text]is null
BEGIN TRANSACTION T1
WHILE @startSeq < @lastSeq
[Code] ....

Description: An
unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web
request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the
error and where it originated in the code.
SQLExpress database file auto-creation error:The
connection string specifies a local Sql Server Express instance using a
database location within the applications App_Data directory. The
provider attempted to automatically create the application services
database because the provider determined that the database does not
exist. The following configuration requirements are necessary to
successfully check for existence of the application services database
and automatically create the application services database:
If
the applications App_Data directory does not already exist, the web
server account must have read and write access to the applications
directory. This is necessary because the web server account will
automatically create the App_Data directory if it does not already
exist.
If the applications App_Data directory already exists, the web
server account only requires read and write access to the applications
App_Data directory. This is necessary because the web server account
will attempt to verify that the Sql Server Express database already
exists within the applications App_Data directory. Revoking read access
on the App_Data directory from the web server account will prevent the
provider from correctly determining if the Sql Server Express database
already exists. This will cause an error when the provider attempts to
create a duplicate of an already existing database. Write access is
required because the web server accounts credentials are used when
creating the new database.
Sql Server Express must be installed on the machine.
The process identity for the web server account must have a local
user profile. See the readme document for details on how to create a
local user profile for both machine and domain accounts.
