Importing Data From XLS File to SQL Server

Dear All,
I want to import the data from Excel(.xls) file to SQL Server (2008 R2). But due to some problem (may be data), an error is occurring when I am going to import using Import Data Wizard. I want the rows to ignore those are creating issues and to keep track
of those records. That's why I need to process rows one by one. How can I do it? Any idea?
Thanks & Regards,

Whats the error? Have you mapped the source-destination data types in column mappings?

Extra column to be added while importing data from flat file to SQL Server

I have 3 flat files with only one column in a table.
The file names are bars, mounds & mini-bars.
Table 'prd_type' has columns 'typeid' & 'typename' where typeid is auto-incremented and typename is bars, mounds & mini-bars.
I Import data from 3 files to prd_details table. This table has columns 'pid', 'typeid' & 'pname' where pid is auto-incremented and pname is mapped to flat files and get info from them, now i wanted the typeid info to be received from prd_type table.
Can someone please suggest me on this?

You can get it as follows
Assuming you've three separate data flow tasks for three files you can do this
1. Add a new column to pipeline using derived column transformation and hardcode it to bars, mounds or mini-bars depending on the source
2. Add a look task based on prd_type table. use query as
SELECT typeid,typename
FROM prd_type
Use full cache option
Add lookup based on derived column. new column -> prd_type.typename relationship. Select typeid as output column
3. In the final OLEDB destination task map the typeid column to tables typeid column.
In case you use single data flow task you need to include a logic based on filename or something to get the hardcoded type value as bars, mounds or mini-bars in the data pipeline

Ssis - import data from flat file to table (sql server 2012)

i have create a ssis for importing data from flat file to table in sql server 2012.
but i got the below error for some column in data flow task.
error: cannot processed because than one code page (950 and 1252)
anyone helps~

Hi,
The issue occurs because the source flat file uses ANSI/OEM – Tranditional Chinese Big5 encoding. When processing the source file, the flat file connection manager uses code page 950 for the columns. Because SQL Server uses code page to perform conversions
between non-Unicode data and Unicode data, the data in the code page 950 based input columns cannot be loaded to code page 1252 based destination columns. To resolve the issue, you need to load the data into a SQL Server destination table that includes Unicode
columns (nchar or nvarchar), and convert the input columns to Unicode columns via Data Conversion or the Advanced Editor for the Flat File Source at the same time.
Another option that may not be that practical is to create a new database based on the Chinese_Taiwan_Stroke_BIN collation, and load the data to non-Unicode columns directly.

What is the easiest way to export all tables data from Oracle to MS SQL Server?

Hello MS,
I would like to export all tables from Oracle 11.2 to MS SQL Server 2012 R1.
Using the tool "Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant v6.0 for Oracle" did not work for me because there are too many warnings and errors regarding the schema creation (MS cannot know it because they are not the schema designer). My idea is
to leave/skip the schema creation to the application designer/supplier and instead concentrate on the Oracle data export and MS SQL data import.
What is the easiest way to export all tables data from Oracle to MS SQL Server quickly?
Is it:
- the „MS SQL Import and Export Data“ Tool
- the “MS SQL Integration Services” Tool
- not Oracle dump *.dmp format because it is a propritery binary format
- flat file *.csv (delimited format)
Thanks!

Hi lingodingo,
If you want to directly export all tables from Oracle database to SQL Server, I suggest you use SQL Server Import and Export Wizard. Because you just need to follow the wizard with GUI, this is the easiest way.
If you want to make some modification for the tables‘ data before loading to SQL Server, I suggest you use SQL Server Integration Services package. For more details, please refer to the following similar thread:

Import a CSV text file into SQL Server using DTS

Hi,
This may be a silly question but im gonna ask it anyway!
What i need to do is execute a DTS package from a CF page to read a text file and import its content to a table. I have 100's of txt files with 10,000's of rows.
The reason i think this is a silly question is because when setting the DTS package in SQL Ent, you have to specify the file name of the file you wish to import data from, therefore, its possible that you cannot change the file name. Ive done lots of research and not found one example that will allow me to do dynamically change the file name making the DTS pick up a different file. The only code ive found is as below, that executes the DTS and imports the data obtained from the file name that was set when the DTS package was created.
<cfobject
type="COM" name="objDTS" class="DTS.Package" action="CREATE">
<CFSET
r = objDTS.LoadfromSQLServer("[SERVERNAME]","[PASSWORD]","",0,"","","","[DTSPACKAGE]","")>
<cfset
p = objDTS.Execute()>
I found the following suggestion in a forum somewhere, but ive not had much luck with it
<cfset
objDTS.GlobalVariables.Item("filename").Value = "[statsFileName]">
I know an alternative to this is to read the file using CFfile or using Java and insert one by one, i dont dont like that method as it could cause performance issues with my server.
Hope someone can help me out.
regards
d

Questions:
1. What version of SQL Server are you using?
2. Are you required to use a specific DTS package or do you simply need to import data from a file to a table? You might also consider using the bcp utility or, if you are using 2005 or newer, integration services.
3. Is the uploading of files and the import of data a manual process or is it automated? Is there a user uploading one file at a time to your server or do you receive files in batches. Can you describe the work flow?
You might try the following if you are required to use DTS:
1. Upload your text file with CFFILE, putting in the directory expected by your DTS package.
2. Rename the file to the name required by your DTS package
3. Use CFEXECUTE to run the DTS package by calling dtsrun at the command line.

Is there any way of importing stuffs from Microsoft Access to SQL Server?

I have quite a big store of information Microsoft Access DB, but now i am required to switch to SQL Server?
Is there any way of importing to SQL Server, either by Java programming or manually?
Thank you in advance.

I like to give some tips on how to fulfil the requirement.. I haven't tried this. If you succeeded, it is well and good.
1) Using Java:
If you like to Java to import the data from MS Access to SQL Server, you have to write a JDBC Program in such a way that it has to retrieve the data from each MSAccess tables and store it in temperory java varaible.After writng into the temp. varaibles, the same thing will be written into SQL Server. The whole process is repeated for all the tables in MS Access.
2) Manual Process:
Try to get the data scripts from MS-Access for all the tables and Load the same into SQL Server
I hope that Manual Process consumes less time compared in writing the codes for transformation..
I hope that you got some idea on reading this. If you have any doubts, try to get back to me..

You can check a working example package [1] (use your Adobe ID to log in)
After installing it, go to [2] for immediate example.
Unfortunately it only supports the old OLE-2 Excel format (.xls and not .xlsx)

Import data from excel file

Hello.
Is anybody can help how to import data from excel file to the form created with designer 7.0. Originally there is a script inside the form to populate drop down list and depending from data selected in the ID number drop down list, there will be filled out the description and the prices text fields. But now I have to modify this form with data from excel file, which has more than 30000 lines and put all this data to script is too much.
So, can somebody know how can I after filling the ID number field , populate the description and price text fields with data from excel file corresponding to this ID number ?
This form is used in Adobe reader.
Any comments are welcome.
Regards,
Aivar

Hi
That's what i said in my prev. Post to clear cache... :)
disable your cache from nqsconfig.ini
In cache section of NQSConfig file,
you find
ENABLE = YES;
set to NO
OR
if you are using data ware house as the source for OBIEE,
you know that when ETL is done, so just create iBot to purge cache automatically at that particular intervals,
So that report runs freshly at that time
And what happened to your View Selector question?

Can anybody tell me the steps starting from the infocubes(guess its the first step), to achieve it. Any help will be a great help for me.
Thanks in Advance,
Smita

1.to start with create infoareas, infoobjects(accoring to what u have in flat file).
2.then create a cube which will include these infoobj's and activate it.
3.create an application component and then create infosource,right click and assign ds to infosource and specify ur PC file source system(whatever system u've), 4.then u'll go to the infosource screen where u need to maintain the exact order of ur file in transfer structure tab, then maintain transfer rules, activate it.
5.create upate rules for ur cube by mentioning this infosource name.
6.create infopackages and schedule them. after data is loaded to cube, use tcode rrmx and logon to bex and find ur cube and then create queries on them.

Import data from local file: insufficient privilege

As part of a project I'm working on, I have to load data (only a few thousand records) into a HANA Development instance on HCP. Last week I did this several times with no problem using File > Import from HANA Studio and choosing Data From Local File. Yesterday and today I get this message (most of the time, but not all the time): SAP DBTech JDBC: [258]: insufficient privilege: Not authorized.
Does anybody know why this might be and what do to about it?
Are there batch alternatives? I have not found any. The INPUT INTO statement also gives authorization problems.

Thanks for Your replies.
Jochen - I can't find schema.ini file and your link doesn't work - I mean that site is under construction
Mahesh - I tried to changed cells' format in excel, but file is saved without changes (as csv).
Pandey - I read about DTW but I can't find it anywhere. Is there a site where it could be downloaded from?
Finally I solved this problem. After saving file as xls I could changed cells' format and save with changes. It helped - data '1-10-103' is imported correctly.

Import Data from DMP file

I export data and create a DMP file on daily basis
I import data from this DMP to an other computer but some data import duplicate records.
I want to aviod duplicate records
what should I do

You receive duplicate errors when some unique key in the record (probably but not necessarily the primary key) already exists with a value that duplicates a value already in the database. You have at least 3 options.
1) Ignore the errors. You will get lots of errors and the duplicates will not be imported.
2) Delete all records from the tables before you do the import. Old data will be lost, but you will get no errors.
3) Use fromuser= and touser= to put the data into a different schema then use a merge to update the table data.
By the way this is not the correct forum for this question.

Import data from text file

We are trying to import data from a text file into fields in a form using the importTextData method for the Doc object. The script we are using looks like this:
var doc = event.target;
var returnCode = doc.importTextData("datafile.txt",0);
The text file "datafile.txt" contains tab separated values in a header row (which corresonds to field names in the form) followed by tab separated datarows - all according to instructions in the API.
The returnCode will result in an integer value, which in our case represent "Error: Invalid Row". It would help us a lot if anyone could give us a hint on what may be wrong or even better post a working solution.
We have also tried using the importTextData method without any parameters (the user is then prompted to select the text file and then the specific row) but the result remains the same. The fields in the form are not populated with data and the message "Error: Invalid Row" is returned.
Annika Lindqvist

The problem you're experiencing is that importTextData is an Acrobat API call. As such, it executes on the AcroForm field equivalents to the XFA fields you've placed on the form. What's not indicated in the API for importTextData is that the names in the fields in the header of the text file must be the
full AcroForm SOM expression.
I've created a working sample to explain this.
First, I created a form with a table with one row in it containing 3 columns named FirstName, LastName and Country.
Then I created a data.txt file like this:
FirstName LastName Country
Fred Jones USA
Kyle Francis Canada
Sam Roberts UK
I then placed a button on the form which calls "event.target.importTextData();" and ran the form in Preview.
Of course, when I selected a row for import, nothing happened.
I then used the "Avanced | Forms | Export Data from Form..." menu option in Acrobat after filling-in the fields in the table with some text and looked at the generated text file (note that you have to specify text as the output format). In there, I was able to figure-out what the full AcroFrom SOM expression was for each field I wanted to import data into.
I changed my data file to look like this:
form1[0].#subform[0].Table1[0].Row1[0].FirstName[0] form1[0].#subform[0].Table1[0].Row1[0].LastName[0] form1[0].#subform[0].Table1[0].Row1[0].Country[0]
Fred Jones USA
Kyle Francis Canada
Sam Roberts UK
Afther that, importTextData worked as expected without any errors.
