Import/Export wizard auto-generates all columns as DATE

Hi
I'm trying to use the Import/Export Wizard as I used to, as a handy tool to figure out what a series of T-SQL statements (in an SSIS package) is doing - or, if I'm lucky, what on earth the original dev
intended them to do.
Version: SQL 2014 64-bit running on Win 7 64-bit
The code is pretty dreadful:
SELECT DISTINCT on one set of column names,
join this set to another table but not on exactly the same set of column names,
embedded (SELECT MAX(bla) FROM SameTable WHERE [match to outer set on another set of columns] GROUP BY [hey, yet another set of columns!]) inside the SELECT column list...
and it all goes to a nasty #Tmp, which is then abused with further bad code further down.
Imp/Exp is always handy to quickly get the intermediate results into an auto-created real table, so I can figure out exactly what the effect of this is. I use it to export from the database back to the same database, but to a persisted table.
This time (first time with SQL2014) it's not working. The source is "write a query" (paste the actual query). The destination I set to a new table. The auto-generation of the new table creates every column as type
date. Not surprisingly, this doesn't work, as the original data is mostly not of
date time.
Looks like a bug. Any idea of a workaround or fix?
thanks!

Sorry, but I think you're still not getting what I'm saying.
This is not a production SSIS package design, but a quick'n'nasty diagnosis technique I'm used to using:
- Find some SQL in an existing query/script that I'm trying to debug
- Paste it into Import/Export wizard as a source
- Wizard creates a new table for the result - I then have the results persisted for examination, comparison with the results from refactored code, etc.
And I can't even put suitable CAST/CONVERT statements in, because the wizard is mis-identifying the
input column data types, with no way to change them. It's somehow thinking that every column in the input (the SQL query) is of type
date(500), when the columns are obviously not of this type.

Attunity connectors for Oracle in Import Export Wizard in SQL Server 2008 R2

Is there a way we can see the Attunity connectors drivers in the Import/Export Wizard (64 bit) for SQL Server 2008 R2?
Although I made it work for SSIS, I would need these drivers in the Import/Export wizard so as to automate it for numerous number of tables which I want to migrate.
Can the Attunity connectors for Oracle be used in the Import/Export wizard? If so please let me know.
Regards,
Ashutosh.
Ashutosh.

I have 100 tables to migrate. Creating a data flow for each table is tedious and that's why I was looking out for a way to do it through import export wizard so that I don't have to create a separate data source and destination for each table in the Data
flow Task.
Is there a way to loop through all tables and transfer data in SSIS without having multiple sources and destinations created for each table? This also involves a bit of transformation as well.

SQL Exoress 2008 import export Wizard wont import Access 2003 mdb to SQL 2008 DB

Just installed SQL Express with Tools, including SSME and Import Export Wizard.
Attempted to transfer Access 2003 DB tables from an mdb file to a SQL 2008 Express DB.
I can view the data in the tables in Access, however, when I tell it to do the deed, it begins the process and then errors out with a Error 0xc020801c:
"TITLE: SQL Server Import and Export Wizard

3. Specify Tabloe Copy or Query: I select Table copy
4. Select Table or Views: I check the tables I want to copy and successfully preview the data in each table that I checked. I click on "Edit Mappings ..." and verify that I want to create a new table for each checked table.
5. Run package: I accept the pre-checked "Run Immediately" and click the NEXT button

I had this similar problem - 32-bit SQL Server 2005 trying to import tables from Access 2000 .mdb file, same error:

I know you said you clicked "Advanced..." and Test Connection when you chose your Access database - but that is what resolved the error for me. I chose my .mdb file, username is admin, password is blank, but if I don't click the Advanced button and test the connection before continuing on, the import fails with above error message. Go figure, since the username/blank password is correct.
FWIW, sorry if that doesn't help you though.

Hi Chennie,
Thank you for the post.
Does the issue persists after you use the "Write a query to specify the data to transfer" option instead of “Copy data from one or more tables or views” option? If so, the issue may occur due to incorrect data type matching between the FastObjects database
data types and SSIS data types. In this condition, I don’t think it is necessary to upgrade the SQL Server version. Since you can open the Column Mappings dialog box, please try to modify the data type mapping manually.
In addition, the issue seems to be the same as the issue described in the following blog:

Import Metadata Wizard won't remove columns from repository table

Hello everybody!
We are facing the following problem with an imported object in OWB:
I have imported successfully a table into OWB. I can see in the OWB's "Data Object Editor" that the repository object is identical to the physical object.
If I remove a column from the physical table in db and re-Import the table in OWB, the OWB "Import Metadata Wizard" understands that a column is removed and in the "Import Results" shows that column as "Preserved". However, in OWB's "Data Object Editor" the column is not removed!! Is there a step we are missing?
Thanks in advance!!
ps: we are using OWB 10gR2

Yes you missed one step
While Importing on
Step 3 of 3 Summary and Import
Click on Advance Import OPtion
De select all the preserve option.

Import/Export Wizard is a bulk operation?

If I use import/export wizard to load data from a file to a table will it do it as a bulk operation and will be minimally logged when using bulk logged recovery mode?
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191244(v=sql.105).aspx

Yes. The Import Export wizard creates a SSIS package on the backend which will have default transfer option as below
This is same as BULK INSERT and so it would be minimally logged in case of BULK recovery mode.

Auto Size All Columns

_Auto Size All Columns_ no longer auto sizes the Name column in the Windows version of iTunes. Furthermore, _Auto Size All Columns_ ought to be a configurable option that works automatically whenever you select different music in the library to appear in the browser. Let the software do the work of resizing the columns. That's what computers are for!
Yeah, I know that I'm supposed to report this via the Apple feedback mechanism. I've done that twice now with no results. I'd appreciate it if you reported it too. I'm tired of having to readjust column widths every time I choose a new selection to appear in the browser. You should be too. Report it. Complain about it. Do something!

I tried that and it doesn't work. I make the shortcut in SP, but when I select "Auto Size All Columns" in iTunes, the shortcut isn't to the right of it.

Auto created FK columns in data modeler

Newbie to sql data modeler and have this question.
When created a relational model, it automatically generated many extra columns for Foreign Keys with notion of (1,2,..) Is there a setting to disable it. I like to have the generated DDL not to include these extra columns . Thanks.

Hi,
you can create foreign keys in two ways:
1) using table dialog - no new FK columns are generated
2) using "New FK Relation" tool - new FK columns are created automatically; However you can tune the process to your preferences:
- "General Options>General" page - select "Show properties dialog on new object" - as result FK dialog will appear when new FK is created;
- "General Options>Model>Relational" - select "Delete generated FK columns" - auto generated FK columns are here to help - you always have to define FK columns as part of FK definition (no functional FKs in current release) - you can replace these columns with existing columns and auto generated FK columns will be removed automatically (this cause only auto generated columns).
At the end you can find that auto generated columns are not that bad.

Import/Export problems- Auto Resizing?

Among other things, I use Aperture to manage my iPhone wallpapers (It's convenient since I also have albums of vacation photos that sync to my phone through aperture.) When I download them, they are the correct size for the iPhone (320x480). When I import them, either by dragging and dropping or with the import tool, the metadata says the image is 320x480. Everything seems fine.
However, when looking at the wallpapers on my iPhone, everything is extremely pixelated. I wondered why, and then tried dragging one of the wallpapers from it's home in Aperture to my desktop, and it's somehow now 160x240. It's doing the same thing to my iPhone, making all the wallpapers pixelated.
So essentially, 320x480 picture goes into Aperture, Aperture registers it as being 320x480 in metadata, but then spits out a 160x240 version into Finder and on my iPhone.
Why is it doing this?

Because you're not using the actual photos:
and then tried dragging one of the wallpapers from it's home in Aperture to my desktop, and it's somehow now 160x240. It's doing the same thing to my iPhone, making all the wallpapers pixelated.
When you drag a photo to the desktop from the Aperture WIndow what you get is the Preview of the file, not the file.
It's doing the same thing to my iPhone, making all the wallpapers pixelated.
Are you syncing them via iTunes? That also only uses the Preview.
To get the actual file you'll need to export it (File -> Export) or use better quality Previews.

Survey Export to Excel - Not all columns are exported

I have Survey in SharePoint 2013 with questions expecting different answers - radio button options / Ratings / Multi line text, etc. Settings choosen - Read thier own responses, create and edit their own responses
I have full control over the site where the Survey runs.
When I choose to export the results to excel (Office 2010), I notice only ratings questions and answers are exported.
1. Question with Choice answers are not exported
2. Questions with multi line answers are not exported
Do anyone face this issue?
Thanks!

I found the problem area. I had marked "All Response" as the default view. In this view, for some reason does not export response for all questions.
Once I changed the default to Overview, I am able to export all the responses for all questions.

I accidentally clicked "Auto Size All Columns" HOW DO I UNDO THIS?! It isn't letting me resize the columns.

It's really getting on my nerves! Is there any way I can go back to manually changing it?!

Wow that was really quick, thank you so much. Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it. I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names. isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,
