How to Create text file and ammend that file in SQL Server 2005

HI All,
I want to upload some Sql query ouput to .txt file. I have tried using the BCP command. I am not able to create the .txt file dynamically by running this query.
First create the bcptest.txt in File System and run the query, then its copying the data.
But I want to create .txt dynamically and wants to append the .txt data instead of overwriting.
EXEC
xp_cmdshell
'bcp "SELECT * FROM sysfiles" queryout "C:\bcptest.txt" -T -c -t,'

How to create a file in the server?

Hi,
I'm making a webservice that has to generate a XML file, sign it using another webservice and return this XML. The problem is that i don't know how to create the file in the server throught webservice.
I use this code in the webservice to generate the XML and after I return the XML to client in a byte[]
     static void outputDocumentToFile(Document myDocument, String path) {
        //setup this like outputDocument
          try {
               // XMLOutputter outputter = new XMLOutputter(" ", true);
               XMLOutputter outputter = new XMLOutputter();
               //output to a file
               FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(path);
               outputter.output(myDocument, writer);
               writer.close();
          } catch(java.io.IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
    }But the file is generated in the client-side, how can I generate the file in the server-side?
Thanks very much.

Well the File object doesn't create a file it's simply an abstract representation of file and directory pathnames.
You can try something like this:
<%
try
// get the path to the web server root
// I read somewhere not to use 'getRealPath' for some reason which I
// can't seem to remember :S Hopefull someone can enlighten us :)
String path = application.getRealPath("/project/jsp/demo.txt");
File file = new File(path);
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file)));
writer.println("Hello World!");
writer.close();
catch (Exception e)
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
%>
Hope this helps :)

I don't think it's hard if understood the question properly you can try this I do it most of the time and this might be the solution for you, sometimes minor simple click is a life saver:)
1.
Open SQL Server Management Studio, or if it's running select File -> Connect Object Explorer... and click the
connect drop down arrow
2.
In the Connect to Server dialog you will see Database Enghine, Analaysis Servie on so on and you go head change Server type to
SQL Server Compact Edition
3.
From the Database file drop-down as shown below click the drop down arrow and select <
Browse for more...>
4.
And you will see C:\, D:\, G:\
drive and so on and open, your SDF file where it is located
I hope this has been informative for you and good luck

Error in adding PRIMARY Data file of SQL Server 2005

Hi Experts,
I am using SQL 2005 as back end database for SAP ECC6. Due to Space problem in PRD data volume, i have added PRDDATA4.ndf file in SSMS ( SQL Server Management Studio) and saved. But, suddenly i got one more idea and extended the file size of exisiting PRDDATA1.mdf, PRDDATA2.ndf & PRDDATA3.ndf immediately i removed the PRDDATA4.ndf file before starting the service. But, while seeing in SAP using ST04 it showing the PRDDATA4.ndf with error message of file missing. What i have to do now? How can i delete the information showing in ST04. But it is not showing in SSMS.
Please help how to solve this.
Regards,
B.Sudharsan

Hi,
Following solution might help you to resolve the issue.
Solution1:
Issue happens because universe connection to the Database is not responding and the Data Source Name is not configured to write SQL Server 2005 database.
Resolution
Created new DSN connection under SYSTEM DSN to SQL Server 2005 Database.
Import the universe from the designer.
Go to File->Parameters.
Edit Connection.
On the Database Middleware Page expand SQl Server 2005->Select SQL Server 2005 driver.
Change the DSN to new DSN connection
Test the connection.
Save the Universe and Export it to the repository.
Solution2:
I am taking Oracle as an example over here.
This can be caused when the SQLNET.ora is located in a remote location using mapped drives.
Resolution
To resolve,
check the registry [HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE] you should see a folder called HOME0
look for any paths that contain a mapped drive partition
Change the mapped drive letter to a UNC path (
server\folder)
Open a command prompt and do a tnsping using the tnsname and verify the location of the SQLNET.ora or TNSNAMES.ora
If the path is not updated to the new path
Reboot the server

How to create text file like this?

I want to create text file like attached file. I thought to create 2 text file: First text file make the headers ( Position, value 0,value 1....) , Second file make the table of data. Then combine them to be third text file. Someone can post other solutions?
Attachments:
testdf.txt ‏1 KB
try_textfile.vi ‏18 KB

Hi ha noi,
you don't need 2 intermediate textfiles!
Just write the header line first, then attach lines containing values...

You are trying to attach SQL Server 2012 database files to SQL Server 2008 R2 which is not allowed, you either need to upgrade your SQL Server 2008 to 2012 or alternatively you can generate all scripts from SQL Server 2012 and execute it in SQL Server
2008 R2.
You can refer below link to how to generate script.

Problem in bulk import of text files in SQL Server

Hi,
I am using sql server 2012 x 64 and trying to import some text files (tab/ comma separated) and ms access files in sql server tempdb
I am trying bulkinsert on text file but it is inserting all data in a single line in sql while in text file I have 1000K lines,
Then I tried importing other data using openrowset from access file but I am getting following error
Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "MSDASC" for linked server "(null)".
can any one please provide some assistance . If I am able to upload the data from flat text file then it will be enough as I am getting data in tsv or csv format
Nitin

If this is a one-off, I think you should try the import/export wizard in SQL Server Management Studio instead. This may be easier to get working.
If you want to this import on a regular basis with BULK INSERT, we need to see the CREATE TABLE statement for your table and a sample file. Best if you can upload the file on Skydrive, Dropbox or similar, as the exact bytes matters.
To connect to an Access database, you use the ACE provider. Never heard of MSDASC before.

How to save landscape print layout for report designed in SQL Server 2005

How to save page setup for a report wich was designed in SQL Server 2005 RS? Each time report is previewed, I have to change portrate to landscape orientation and left and right marging from 0,5 to 0,25, to be able to see all fieldas on the report.
Thanks!

Hi, Marina;
Which version of Crystal Reports are you using? Once you set a report to Landscape, and save the report, it should stay that way, unless you change to a different printer.

How to find the list of unused stored procedures in SQL Server 2005?

Hi,
I need to find out the list of stored procedures which are not in use.
I found there is something called "sys.dm_exec_procedure_stats " for SQL server 2008.
Can you please suggest your ides here to do the same job for SQL server 2005.
Many Thanks.

In SQL 2005 there is, sort of. This is query lists the last execution
time for all SQL modules in a database:
SELECT object_name(m.object_id), MAX(qs.last_execution_time)
FROM sys.sql_modules m
LEFT JOIN (sys.dm_exec_query_stats qs
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text (qs.sql_handle) st)
ON m.object_id = st.objectid
AND st.dbid = db_id()
GROUP BY object_name(m.object_id)
But there are tons of caveats. The starting point of this query is
the dynamic management view dm_exec_query_stats, and the contents is
per *query plan*. If a stored procedure contains several queries,
there are more than one entry for the procedure in dm_exec_query_stats.

How to create Text Tables and Value Tables ?

Hi all,
How we can create the Text Table ? Step by Step
How we can create the Value Table ? Step by Step
Note : I am not asking about the creation of simple transparant table ...
Thanks In advance.
How to use Text tables ?
With Example Please..
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Raj

Hi Raj,
Table A is a text table of table B if the key of A comprises the key of B and an additional language key field (field of data type LANG). Table A may therefore contain explanatory text in several languages for each key entry of B.
To link the key entries with the text, text table A must be linked with table B using a foreign key. Key fields of a text table must be selected here for the type of foreign key fields
If table B is the check table of a field, the existing key entries of table B are displayed as possible input values when the input help (F4) is pressed. The explanatory text (contents of the first character-like non-key-field of text table A) is also displayed in the user's logon language for each key value in table B.
Only one text table can be created for table B! The system checks this when you attempt to activate a table with text foreign keys for B.

Aneesh.

Creating text file from SQL with adding counter in Filename.

Hi,
I have a requirement for creating the Tesxt files from Oracle DB which i can achieve by ODISQLUNLOAD.
But tricky part is that i want have a file name+ counter such that Counter should start with 1 for the first file of the day, then 2,... and reset to 1 for every new date.
e.g. file0001, file0002,file0003,file0004,.... file0100 and so on for one day.
But when i will create a file on next day it should be created as again file0001, file0002,file0003,file0004,.... file0100 and so on.
I may be able to achieve this using some variables but unable to think how could i achieve this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Mahesh

Hi Mahesh,
If the files are loaded as one batch process, for instance, by executing a single package, you could perform a looping function and store the counter as a variable. It would be very similar to the blog post here: https://blogs.oracle.com/dataintegration/entry/using_variables_in_odi_creatin - but you would be using the #counter variable in your filename. Each day that the package is run, the counter starts at 1.
Hope this will fit your needs.
Enjoy!
