I ask for your help for problem of SQL Server 7 DTS .
I got 6 text data files extracted from a SQL server database Sale1 in Company A. I also got a script produced from Sale1 and run it in my company to build a SQL server database A_Sale which structure is the same as Sale1. Then, I transferred these files into my database A_Sale. I have successfully transferred three files (vlet, vlrl, and vlcv), without any trouble. But I met trouble for transferring other three files (vlcl, vlco, and vlpo). For example, the error messages are as:
"Error during Transformation 'DirectCopyXform' for Row number1. …Conversion invalid for datatype on column pair 12 (source column 'Col012'(DBTYPE_STR), destination column 'cl_dob' (DBTYPE_14))."
"Error during Transformation 'DirectCopyXform' for Row number 10825. …Conversion invalid for datatype on column pair 17 (source column 'Col017'(DBTYPE_STR), destination column 'c0_stchdt" (DBTYPE_14))."
- I don't understand why the datatype is not matched? The datatype is 'int' in both source column and destination column and the data for the source column is like 2533222. And, why the error caused for Row 1 for file vlcl and for Row 10825 for file vlco? How to correct the error?
Other errors I met like:
"Error at Source for Row number 24391. …Column Delimiter not found."
- I don't know how to avoid the error at source? My partner in companyA also cannot control to avoid the error, since the file extracted by SQL server.
"Error at Destination for Row number 531377. …Could not allocate space for object '(SYSTEM
table id:-269896619)' in database 'TEMPDB' because the 'DEFAULT' filegroup is full."
- Why the error caused for row 531377 and how to correct it?
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Can somebody please help me with the following problem.
I want to import data from a textfile called "Links.txt" into a SQL-server database called "LinkData". The data in this textfile is separated by pipelines. And this import should be done every 2 hours automatically. How can I make a proces or something in SQL server 7 that will fill the database with the data out of this textfile every 2 hours. Please help me. I really don't know.

I was planning on using DTS for this Only I really don't know how. I tried it with "Data driven query task" in combination with "Text file (source)" and "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server". But when I run it, it gives an error. What am i doing wrong??? Help me please

I have an existing table I need to add data to. The data is in a text file, and the existing table already has data in it (I don't want to delete this I want to add to it).
I used Microsoft's import utility but this created a seperate table with generic fieldnames (column01, column02, ect). Is there a step in this wizard I missed?
Hi,
I am working on a project where data is stored remotely in a Postgres database. I need to download some of the postgres data and store it in the SQL Server. The data in PG is in UTF-8. I use another application to write the data to the PG database. To talk to the PG database I am using the npgsql data provider (http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/npgsql/projdisplay.php). The data I am trying to download is arabic.
Everything seems to work fine except when I get the data from the PG DB and write it to SQL Server. I've done lots of debugging and can see that the data is correctly in arabic write until I do the update on the local dataset which saves it in SQL server. For some strange reason it makes the data into jibberish (just question marks).
I am using SQL Server express 2005. If anyone can help me with this I'd be extremely grateful as this has become a big problem and I've tried to find a solution without any success.
Thanks in advance.

I am having a problem with an ASP program that inserts data into a table on
SQL Server 2000.
No error msg is returned upon submission and the confirmation msg that
displays after the commit command is sent to the server displays, but when
we go to the DB, the data sent isn't there. This is an occassional
occurance and usually the data is there, just some times, it isn't. Other
forms function just fine, using the *exact* same file to perform the submit
function (all the forms "include" the same submit page). The only
difference we can find is a trigger on the table having problems which
executes upon update, capturing the information about who updated the record
when. From what we can see, this is the only programmatic difference. The
other thought tickling our minds was the possiblity of a simultaneous
submission, since all the users submit with the same db user name via the
form, if user 1's data gets written but not yet commited, user 2's data is
submitted, then the commit transaction is submitted by user 1 as the program
steps run in sequence, would the commit by user one cause eiither of the
records inserted but not commited to be lost? If so, why wouldn't that be causing problems on other forms ...
I have a project were I will have it so that users can sign in and change information on an SQL server. The catch is that this site will be from a different domain name and from a different hosting company then where the SQL database is located. Sorry if this is a dumb question but how can I utilize asp.net to change and view an SQL database that is located else-where.
For example: a user logs into www.something.com and he/she can view and edit SQL tables from www.somethingelse.com's database.
Thanks in advance.
Hello there guyz!ahm, i just want to ask, how can i upload a MS word text file to a SQL Dbase? I know i must use the Input File, the one in the Toolbox menu for HTML controls. but i need to know 1. How can i link the SQL dbase to the Input file Button? 2. How to put the MS word file onto the SQL dbase? 3. what should i use to declare the MS Word file on the SQL Dbase? is it variable? char? etc... THank you so much! Please i Really need this one to put up my thesis system. and if it isn't much of a task, please can anyone send me the SOURCE CODES for my questions?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am getting the following error running a data flow that splits the input data into multiple streams and writes the results of each stream to the same destination table:
"This operation conflicts with another pending operation on this transaction. The operation failed."
The flow starts with a single source table with one row per student and multiple scores for that student. It does a few lookups and then splits the stream (using Multicast) in several layers, ultimately generating 25 destinations (one for each score to be recorded), all going to the same table (like a fact table). This all is running under a transaction at the package level, which is distributed to a separate machine.
Apparently, I cannot have all of these streams inserting data into the same table at one time. I don't understand why not. In an OLTP system, many transactions are inserting records into the same table at once. Why can't I do that within the same transaction?
I suppose I can use a UnionAll to join them back together before writing to a single destination, but that seems like an unnecessary waste and clutters the flow. Can anyone offer a different solution or a reason why this fails in the first place?
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
I am trying to use a recordable CD as the storage medium for a comma delimited flat file destination in an SSIS package. I am running the developer edition of SQL Server 2005 on Windows XP SP2.
I discovered that in the file connection manager for a flat file, the path to the file can point to a directory on the CD-R. When I set the file name for the connection manager and point it to a file on the CD, the path looks something like this;
C:Documents and SettingsjuserLocal SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftCD BurningArchiveMonthlyMCTxnDetail_Archive.txt
When I run the package, the packge executes without a problem, but no 'burning' occurs. When I check the directory specified in 'file name', there is a header in the directory that states, 'Files Ready to Be Written to the CD'. The file I want to write to is listed there.
Is there some executable I can kick off in another task to complete the process of burning the file to the CD?
Thank you for your help!

In an effort to automate a process, I am trying to populate a csv textfile with data from a SQL Server 2000 database that will be imported by a proprietary database; however, not all of the data required to go into the textfile is available in the source db. Fortunately, the data I'm needing has constant values for the fields that I want to populate, i.e Lab Name. Whereas, the Destination database will receive data from other labs but not via this source.
Is it possible to use a constant rather than a db field within the SQL query to populate one of the textfile fields. (I placed "LABNAME" in where I would like it to go) A portion of my present SQL statement is:
Select LEFT([SAMPNAME], 4) AS IUNUM, RIGHT(LEFT([SAMPNAME], 8), 3) AS SITENUM, convert(varchar,[SAMPDATE], 112) as SAMPDATE, [BDL] AS "SAMPNUM", [ANALYTE], (CASE [STARTDATE]-[SAMPDATE] WHEN 0 THEN '2' ELSE '1' END) AS METHOD, convert(varchar,[STARTDATE], 112) as STARTDATE, [FINAL], [BDL], "LABNAME", [NOTES1], [SAMPLER], [ORDNO], [UNITS]
From [CUSTOMER]
As you can see, I have already done a lot of formatting within the statement but would appreciate someone's SQL expertise to tell me if using a constant is possible or not.
Thanks,
Al
hi,
how do i do in ssis if i want to read the textfile row by row? i need to do this since every line in my flat file has different conditions to fulfill depending on the content of the row.

Hello, historically it has been frowned upon to store textual data in sqlserver. In v6.5 and before, 2k pages were allocated regardless of actual data size. Is this still the case in v7.0? I have a situation where the intranet application wants to store documents/images/etc. Currently, we need to have security granted to each user who connects to the web server to allow them to write files. However, if we write the data via sqlserver, then the application only needs permission. Is this the recommended method? What other options can I use? tia, Lee

Hello,
I'm having the following situation. To exchange data between software-programs we have to use textfiles. These files are like: "2100880000095500400600000329000 00000329000 WNOW0121102B 1121". I have to cut the textfiles into lines of 256 characters. Next thing i have to do is cutting that line in chunks (by a defined structure) and use these chunks to insert them into colums in SQL Server. Example, the line above will become something like: "INSERT INTO table (21, 008800000955, '004006', etc, etc) ".
The code now is: i've opened a connection, and then I'm doing an INSERT per row, but when i have to insert 800.000 rows like this, it's a real bottleneck. Is there any way to perform the INSERTS quicker ?? By a bulk or something ?? Can anyone help me ??
I was wondering if there is a way to schedule a tast that will dump afixed width text file of all the new entries in a table. So if I hada table with likeusername - varchar(20)created - smalldatetimeI could get a weekly feed each week of all the new users in a textfile. I know I could write a script that would go through and do thisby looking at the time stamp, and the last time that the filepreviously ran and get the new dates but I was hoping there was abuilt way to do this. Or perhaps a more elegant solution.Thanks,Charlie

Hi,
I have a data structure called 'Quote' which contains a number of different variables and controls ranging from text boxes, check boxes and radio buttons, i need to be able to read and write this from a database.
First I think a description of my overall project is needed:
Project Description
I have been given a brief that basically says: i have to create a programmed solution in VB to solve a problem. This problem can be anything we like, and I personally have chosen to create a program that manages quotes for building Log Cabins (this is very contrived and far from anything someone would do in the real world).
My solution will allow a generic user to create a quote (using a form with controls such as text boxes, check boxes, radio buttons) , and then save this to file. These users may then wish to load/edit this quote at a later date, from another form.
Whilst completing this project, i'll only have up to about 5 records (quotes) within the system, so i dont need the ability to store hundreds of records. And each record will be relatively short, with only about 10-15 data items within the data structure.
Also the Admin (or business owner in this case) need to be able to view all saved quotes in a presentable format, and edit them if needs be, from within this same program.
This solution does not need to be absolutely perfect and 100% efficiently coded, or have all the bells and whistles a real-world program would have. This is for an A level computing project by the way.
So basically, i need to be able to read from the database (to populate a Data Grid (i imagine this is best way?)) and so Admin can access any quote and edit it (editing is not vital, but viewing/printing is. Maybe i should stop at just viewing any quote?). Also i need generic users to be able to fill in the Edit Quote form and then save this data into the database.
And is a data structure really required for me to use a database?
I've never used databases in VB before (but have used them elsewhere, mainly Access) and so am completely new to this. Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Hello,
I was using for years an application that had an MSDE database.
Recently. I've upgraded my computer to Windows Vista, so I had to upgrade MSDE to SQL Express.
I've managed to attach the old MSDE database of the application to SQL Express, and I am able to retrieve my data from within the application.
My problem is that I can not write or update data from within the application anymore. However, If I open a table in SQL Management Studio Express I can write/ update data with no problem.
The company that build the application I was using doesnt exist any more so I cant take any support from them.
The only thing I know for a fact is that the application is connecting to the database using the sa user.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Hi,
I wish to export a MS SQL table into a text file. I know that I can do this under the DTS wizard but I need the syntax so as to run in on my script. Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Hi.. anyone know wat the syntax to output the table content to a textfile? and copy back the content on the textfile back to the table?
Must use SQL command for MS SQL Server 2000 cannot use manual.. tks!
Declare @cmd varchar(255)
select @cmd = 'bcp "select * from mytable" queryout c:cptest.txt -Uasdfasdfasdf -Pasdfasdf'
when i run this it says "The command(s) completed successfully." but i don't see that file anywhere at all. why is that? is this the right way to do? please help.
Can someone show me the command string required to write data out to 2 or 3 tables at once? How about how to write 2 entries at once? Write now my solution writes 1 record to a table and then I write somewhere around 40-200 records to a second child . Write now I'm writing like this:Open --> Add 1 record in table #1 --> closeOpen --> Add 1 record in table #2 --> closeOpen --> Add 1 record in table #2 --> closeOpen --> Add 1 record in table #2 --> closeOpen --> Add 1 record in table #2 --> closeand I'm just wondering if there is a better approach, such as writing all the data at once. Something like:Open --> Add 1 record in table #1 --> Add 5 records in table #2 --> close

Can someone please tell me how to write data to a SQL table that is a Binary data type? I have a stored procedure on the SQL server that I am calling to insert data into a table. I build a parameter list and set the values. It worked just fine before I added a binary field to the SQL table. My problem is that I don't know how to set the Binay data type to pass it to the stored procedure. Here is part of the code:
GetCMD = Myconnection.CreateCommand
GetCMD.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
GetCMD.CommandText = "SCHEMANAME.InsertLineItem"
GetCMD.Parameters.Add("HEADER_ID", SqlDbType.VarChar, 150)
GetCMD.Parameters("HEADER_ID").Value = "some value"
GetCMD.Parameters.Add("@OPTIONS", SqlDbType.Binary)
GetCMD.Parameters("@OPTIONS").Value = HOW DO I SET THIS VALUE????
rowsaffected = GetCMD.ExecuteNonQuery()

Hi All,
I currently have the problem that I have to write some data into a SUN Directory Server 5.2 LDAP directory.
Does anyone know how I can do this. I already found some articles in this forum that provide solutions how to access

i am trying to write a store procedure which inserts data from flat file to table but i want to align the rows for data transformation, like which column should be transferred to which column on the existing table. can anyone help me with this..i know how to do it thru DTS or SSIS but just want it in script...

I have a report that's created each day as a flat textfile.Because I came from the Access world, I created a macro that importsit with a schema that gives meaningful names to the various columns,and then uses a query to massage some of the data for me (deletes thefirst blank row and does a couple of calculations)Then I use DTS to import the Access query as a table.the textfile has a column called "File_num", and among several others,a column called "Serial_num". (the file numbers represent shipments,and sometimes there are more than one serial number in the shipment,etc., so there is a separate line for every serial number)Naturally, I would like to split this info into two tables..one thatdoes not contain the serial numbers and has a primary key on the"File_num" column, and another table that would contain just the"File_num" and "Serial_num" columns. That way I could relate themlater...but most importantly, it will give me a table where I can usethe "File_num" as my primary key.What would be the best way to import these two tables from one sourcetextfile? The other thing that gives me problems is that the textfile has no column names, and the first row is always blank.I'm very new to SQL and DTS and would appreciate any direction.Thanks,Larry- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -"Forget it, Jake.
