Csv destination column

Good day, I have some simple SQL as my source.
select '00' B
union all
select '00' B
union all
select '00' B
union all
select '00' B
union all
select '00' B
union all
select '00' B
I want to have a .csv destination file with column B having values 00 throughout
But I get a single 0 value in the csv.
Please assist

Hi Zimiso,
After texting the issue in my local environment, I can reproduce it when use Microsoft Excel to open the csv file. As per my understanding, excel always format data based on the data appearance. By default, when we directly type “00” in a excel cell, it
would be automatically displayed as “0”. Because it is acted as a number data. But the actual value is “00”.
So if we want to see “00” value in the csv file, please open it with Notepad program.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Import CSV file: column count mismatch by always 1

Hello,
I am trying to import data from a CSV file into a HANA db table with an .hdbti file.
I have a large structure of 332 fields in the table. When I activate the files to start the import, I always get the following message:
CSV table column count mismatch. The CSV-file: Test.data:data.csv does not match to target table: Test.data::test. The number of columns (333) in csv record 1 is higher than the number of columns (332) in the table.
But even if I delete the last column in the CSV file, the message stays the same. I also tried adding an additional field in the table on HANA, but then the column numbers in the error message just increase by 1. Then the message is: The number of columns (334) in csv record 1 is higher than the number of columns (333) in the table.
So, it seems, whatever I do, the system thinks always that the csv file has one column too much.
With another smaller structure of 5 fields, the import worked that way.
Do you have an idea what the problem could be?
Regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
It may be coz of delimiter problem or something. Can you paste the control file content here. So that i can check it out. Issue may be in your control file.
Also if you can show the contents of the your *.err error log file, we can have a broader picture.

TRY CAST and setting the type according to destination column

Hi,
I am loading data from different sources. I have to do data quality checks for data I am loading into destination. For Decimal Values I have destination data types Decimal(28,2) and Decimal(28,6)
I would like to check the source data and covert the type according to destination column. How can I use the try cast in this scenario?
SELECT TRY_CAST(REPLACE('100,500.000',',','') AS DECIMAL(28,2))
this statement will convert every thing to two decimal places. but if destination column is decimal(28,6) i would like to convert it to 100500.657899
What is the best way of doing it?
MH

Hi MH,
According to your description, you need to CAST and setting the type according to destination column which data types is Decimal(28,2) and Decimal(28,6), right?
"this statement will convert every thing to two decimal places. but if destination column is decimal(28,6) i would like to convert it to 100500.657899" If in this case, then there are different data types on the same column which is not
supported in current version. So as per my understanding, there is no such a functionality to achieve your requirement. What we can do is convert to corresponding datatype (Decimal(28,2) or Decimal(28,6)), and then convert it to nvarchar datatype.
CREATE TABLE #TEMP(A NVARCHAR(50))
INSERT INTO #TEMP VALUES('1538.21'),('1635.326541'),('136.235')
SELECT
A,
CASE
WHEN (LEN(RIGHT(A,LEN(A)-PATINDEX('%.%',A))))>2
THEN
CAST(A AS DECIMAL(28,6))
WHEN (LEN(RIGHT(A,LEN(A)-PATINDEX('%.%',A))))<=2
THEN
CAST(A AS DECIMAL(28,2))
END AS B,
CASE
WHEN (LEN(RIGHT(A,LEN(A)-PATINDEX('%.%',A))))>2
THEN
CAST(CAST(A AS DECIMAL(28,6)) AS VARCHAR(99))
WHEN (LEN(RIGHT(A,LEN(A)-PATINDEX('%.%',A))))<=2
THEN
CAST(CAST(A AS DECIMAL(28,2)) AS VARCHAR(99) )
END AS B2
FROM #TEMP
DROP TABLE #TEMP

Data set created out of csv file: columns not recognized, too many rows

After uploading a csv file I got out of the OPP the columns don't get recognized in the dataset viewer. Perhaps this happens because the delimiter is a semicolon instead of a comma? Unfortunately, I have no influence how the data gets exported out of the OPP. Is there any option to configure which delimiter to recognize, like it's possible in excel?
Further, is it possible to configure from which row on the data should be taken into account, similar to excel? With the csv file I get out of the OPP, the data only starts with row 7, while row 6 has the headings.

The delimiter cannot be configured. Comma is the delimiter. I would suggest that you open this file in text editor then replace semicolon with comma. After that you can reupload your dataset.
Further, is it possible to configure from which row on the data should be taken into account, similar to excel? With the csv file I get out of the OPP, the data only starts with row 7, while row 6 has the headings.
This is not configurable as well.

Hi,
I am using APEX 3.1.2.00.02 and was wondering why you can select which columns to output on the Print Attributes tab, but not select which columns are outputted to the CSV download on the Report Attributes tab.

Hello Graham,
I don’t have an answer to your question, but if you’re looking for a practical solution, the following might help - Re: Condtional Export to Excel .

Split CSV output column

I need to split a exported field from CSV file generated by Export-CSV Serverlist.csv in VMWare PowerCLI.
Get-VM * | Select Name,Notes | Export-Csv Serverlist.csv -NoTypeInformation
Current CSV output:
Name
Note
Server1 Exchange Server at HQ
Group=5
*** I need to move "Group=5" to next column instead in the same field. Every Note field have Group=x.
Name
Note Group
Server1 Exchange Server at HQ
Group=5

If I understand you correctly, you want to take the csv file you just made and create a csv file with three headings: Name, Note, Group. The value for Group is currently listed in the Note field.
Import-CSV Serverlist.csv |
Select Name, @{Name="Note";Expression={($_.Note -split "Group\=")[0]}},@{Name="Group";Expression={(($_.Note -Split "(Group\=)")[1..2]) -join ""}} |
Export-CSV newServerlist.csv -NoTypeInformation

SQLLDR: Is it possible to import CSV using column defined in CVS?

Hello,
We are in 11gR1 ...and I have just practiced easy SQLLDR import ... So I feel quite new in the domain.
We receive CSV files with, at their first line, the column titles, ...
These CSV have their columns never at the same place ... and we experience difficulties to import their data...
The column titles are the same, but not their position in the file...
Here are small examples :
CSV1 :
Project;Customer;Title *;Description *;Submitted By;Submitted On
Maintenance 1 2 3;CUST_A;Analysis;Description of the Analysis;Bob Dylan;19/08/2008
Maintenance B;CUST_B;Development;Description of the project;Bob Dylan;19/08/2008
CSV2 :
Title *;Description *;Project;Customer;Submitted On;Submitted By
Admin; Description of Administration; Proj1; Cust_A; 25/12/2008; Prince
CSV3 :
Description *;Customer;Title *;Project;Submitted By;Submitted On
Desc profile;Cust_B;Analysis;Projet_A; Phil Collins; 11/03/2009
I hope that their is a solution ...
I suppose that someone got a similar issue ...
Thanks in advance for your help,
Olivier

Hello,
Yes, you are correct ...
like in the examples I provided, the column titles are giving the position of the column data .. but there can have different positions
So, at the moment, I play with the Unix script to decide with CTL I should take ....
So, it looks like, there is no other issue than duplicating the code and the CTL files ...
Any other suggestions or advices ?
Thanks in advance,
Olivier

BUG: SQL Developer 1.5.3 CSV export column order broken

There's a bug in the 1.5.3 release of SQL Developer regarding data export. This bug re-orders the column order in the data export to be alphabetically sorted. This produces mangled CSV files if used on a table or a view.
This is a critical bug to me since I need to produce lots of ad-hoc data CSV export files. I'm staying with SQL Developer 1.5.0.53 (53.38) for now as it doesn't have this problem.
This is the same bug as present in Jdeveloper 11.1 as described in my post here: BUG: Jdev 11.1.1.0.0 -- DB table data export column order is not preserved
Quoted from that post:
When I connect to Oracle database, get the table list, right click on the table and select 'Export Data'->csv. The dialog box opens with three tabs: Format, Columns, Where. The column order displayed in both tabs Columns and Where is alphabetic. Because alphabetic ordering re-arranges columns from their initial ordering in the table, this screws up CSV export because columns are not in their intended order. This same problem occurs when I try to export data from views to generate a CSV file with a particular column order.
Please open/check bug report if it's already open.
Thanks!

This happens with all of the export options for tables or views if you right click from the connections tab table list. If I pull it up in the main window and go to the data tab, I can then right click and it will keep the column id order for some of the views and tables. But not all.
I am running 1.5.3 Build Main 5783 on a Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 platform

CSV file column heading

Hi Experts,
This is File to IDOC scenario. The source file is a csv file with header and item records.
The file comes with column headings and now problem is how to remove the column headings using my content conversion.
Any help would be appericiated
Regards,
Vijay

Hi Prakash,
Yes you are right but now my problem is the file will not have the header all the time. Actually the source files are generated from different legacy systems so some may have column headings and some may not have.. but the structure remains the same.

Vijay

Powershell CSV populate columns

Hi ~~ ~ I have a exisiting CSV. I would like to use power shell to add 3 columns
and those columns values will be vlookup expressions.
can we do that in powershell ?

oh~~ i have found the solution my self~~
for ($i = 1; $i -le $rowcount; $i++) {
#$ws.cells.item($i,15).activate()
$ws.cells.item($i,15) = '=VLOOKUP(A'+$i+',''C:\[ServerDescription.xlsx]ServerDescription''!$A:$E,5,FALSE)'
   # $GoLiveDate = $ws.Cells.Item($i, 1).Value
   # $GoLiveDate
   # break

Is there a special token that I can put in a stimulus file CSV channel column that implies leave the current value?

Versistand version is 2013 sp1.
I am using CSV stimulus expressions in my real-time sequence, and would like a channel to retain its current (last) value until a certain time step is reached. Is there a way to do this?
Example CSV stimulus file:
timestamp,chan1,chan2
0,0,<keep current value>
10,1,<keep current value>
20,1,5
30,2,10
In this example, chan2 would retain its current value until timestamp 20.
Is there any way to implement this functionality?
Regards,
Rick Howard

Thanks! This is valuable feedback. I can't think of a way to do this natively with the CSV playback functionality for real-time sequences. Some thoughts on how this might be done:
1. Create your own utility to script real-time sequences based on a CSV file. Extend the functionality to have a special marker in a cell that designates not to change the value for the channel that timestep. You don't have to start from scratch. This open source tool and this one both script real-time sequences and stimulus profiles to playback table-based data sets (though in different ways).
2. Using software fault-insertion to fault the channel value that you want to maintain the initial value for for the first X seconds of playback of the CSV file. You could, for instance, play another sequence at the same time as your CSV file to fault the channel to its current value so that the CSV playback fails to overwrite the value.

Import csv through SSIS package - format date column

Hello -
I need to import a csv file to SQL server using SSIS. The date column in excel is, for example, 7/8/2014, but it imports as 41828 in SQL Server. How can I convert this?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
According to your descrition, date column convert to string data type column when import data from a csv file to SQL Server table. While you want the column still stores as date data type in SQL Server table.
In order to achieve this goal, there are several methods:
Add a Derived Column Transformation before the OLE DB Destination. Then add a derived column to replace the date column with the expression like bewlow to convert the column to date data type:
(DT_DBDATE)column_name
Add a Data Conversion Transformation before the OLE DB Destination.Then convert the date column to date[DT_DATE] data type. Use the new column as the destination column.
In the OLE DB Destination Editor, we can change the data type from varchar(50) to date when create a table as the destination.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Getting this Error: There was an error with input column "FROM_DATE" (6356) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (6100). The column status returned was: "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".

Hi,
I have a flat file with this kind of value - " 20140713 " . To take this value in DB Table I set the data type of this column in flat file manager - string [DT_STR] 50, But in destination table It is set as date [date] NULL
while process this file, I'm getting this error, that mention in subject line.
Please confirm, how to do that as I don't want to change the destination column type.

you need to add a derived column in SSIS with expressions as below
(DT_DATE)SUBSTRING([Column],1,4) + (DT_WSTR,30) "-" + SUBSTRING([Column],5,2) + (DT_WSTR,30) "-" + SUBSTRING([Column],7,2)
ANd map this new column to your tables date column

Output a derived column to a flatfile destination

I'm a newbie. My source is a sql server table. Then I dropped a derived column icon. And finally a flatfile destination.
When I open the flatfile destination, it does show the new column as 'Derived Column 1' in the Available Input Columns, but it's not shown in the Available Destination Columns.
How do I add it to the Available Destination Columns?

I had to open the flat file connection manager window and manually add a new column.

DTS is Reading Created_Date column "2007-08-20 10:46:00.710000000" as DBTYPE_STR and causing datatype mismatch with destination (DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP)

We have internal and external load Step 1 is internal load from source sql to destination flat file and step 2 is external load from source flat file to destination sql
Step 1 :Using DTS I am extracting DateTime source Field"2007-08-20 10:46:00.710" from SQL Server
and loading into destination text file as "2007-08-20 10:46:00.710000000"
Step 2 :Using DTS when I try to load "2007-08-20 10:46:00.710000000" from text file
to SQL Server it gives the error (Source column 'CREATED_DATE(DBTYPE_STR),destination column
'CREATED_DATE(DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP),Cannot parse input data string beginning at "2007-08-20 10:46:00.710000000"
My question here DTS is extracting the DateTime source Field "2007-08-20 10:46:00.710000000" as string (DBTYPE_STR)
instead of DBTIMESTAMP

Hi shimjith,
According to the error message, it indicates that there are data type mismatch between the Source column CREATED_DATE and Destination column CREATED_DATE in the package. Since the text file is already created from the step1, the data type for the CREATED_DATE
column should be DBTIMESTAMP. It seems that the data type for the column is changed in the Flat file.
Here, to fix this issue, please refer to the following suggestions:
Change the data type for the CREATED_DATE column from DBTYPE_STR to DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP in the flat file.
Use some transformation components (like Data Conversion or Derived Column Transformation in later SSIS versions) to change the type for the Source column, then map the new column to the destination column in the SQL table.
If I understand correctly, you are using SQL Server 2000. For better support, I suggest you can upgrade the SQL Server to later versions.
