Import Oracle DataBase dump file Into Sql Server With out connection oracle using c# code.

Hi All,
I would like to ask how can imports my dump oracle database file data and struct into sql server 2005
with out make connection oracle.
best regards.
Hakim.

Hi Hakim.
Based on your title, what I understood there is a issue regarding transfer oracle db dump to sql database using C# code. Am I right? If so, I am afraid there is no build-in method which meet your requrements in .NET framework. You must provides
OraDump Export API to allow developers integrate corresponding capabilities into their applications. These capabilities are about export data from Oracle dump files into popular databases like Microsoft SQL server. Every developer
having OraDump Export API can write just few lines of code on C# or Visual Basic to implement the appropriate export process.
I am search a third-party link, but it's a paid service.

Importing English Wikipedia dump (large .xml file) into SQL server 2012

Hi there,
I've downloaded the latest English Wikipedia dump (enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml),
and I'm trying to import it to SQL server 2012 by using XML Bulk Load. This is the VBScript
code I've used:
Dim objBL
Set objBL = CreateObject("SQLXMLBulkLoad.SQLXMLBulkload.4.0")
objBL.ConnectionString = "provider=SQLOLEDB;data source=localhost;database=tempdb;integrated security=SSPI"
objBL.ErrorLogFile = "error.log"
objBL.CheckConstraints=true
objBL.XMLFragment = True
objBL.SchemaGen = True
objBL.SGDropTables = True
objBL.Execute "export-0.8.xml", "enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml"
Set objBL = Nothing
This VBScript should generate the tables and load the Wikipedia XML file into them. The VBScript code also uses the wikimedia
XSD schema. However, I'm getting this error:
Any help with this problem would be appropriate!

Error importing text file into SQL Server when last column is null

Hello all. Happy holidays!
I'm trying to import a text file into a SQL Server table, and I get the error below when it gets to a row (row 264) that has null in the last column. I'm guessing the null jumbles up the delimiters somehow. The nulls are not errors, and I need to import
them into the table with the rest of the rows. Any idea how I can do that?
Thanks!

[Flat File Source [1]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR. The "output column "XYZ" (178)" failed because error code 0xC0209084 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "XYZ"

Hi WeeLass,
The error that” Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "XYZ" returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".” is generally error message, and the error indicates
that there is data type mismatch issue between the input columns and the output columns.
Based on your description, the issue is that you trying to convert a column contains empty value from string to integer data type for the output column "XYZ" in Flat File Source [1]. Please note that we cannot type an empty value as integer data
type column value, so the error occurs.
To fix this issue, just as you did, we should convert the data type for the output column "XYZ" in Flat File Source [1] back to DT_WSTR or DT_STR, then use a derived column task to replace the current column (UBPKE542). But the expression should
be like below:
LEN(TRIM(UBPKE542)) > 0 ? (DT_I8)UBPKE542 : NULL(DT_I8)
In this way, the data type of the column in SQL table would be int, and the empty value would be replaced with NULL.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Issue importing flat files into SQL server 2008R2

I have csv files that the last column may not have data. SSIS (version 2008R2) will insert the next row's data into the empty cells, which causes my package to fail.
I know this is resolved in 2012 but we are using 2008R2 still. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi sqlBI2014,
After testing the issue that Flat File Connection Manager cannot handle file with uneven number of columns in each row in my SQL Server 2008 R2 environment, I can reproduce it.
Based on my research, the issue is caused by the Column Delimiter gets first preference and then Row delimiter. So the next row data would be inserted in the empty column cell. This is by design in SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2008 R2.
Good news is that the issue is fixed in SQL Server Data Tools which comes with SQL Server 2012. In SQL Server 2012, by default, the Flat File Connection Manager always checks for a row delimiter in unquoted data, and starts a new row when a row delimiter
is found. This enables the connection manager to correctly parse files with rows that are missing column fields.
If you still want to fix the issue in SQL Server 2008 R2, there is a sample component posted to the CodePlex that might help you with this:

Can't import office 2010/13 files into SQL Server. I'm out of ideas!

Hi
I have SQL Server 2012 installed on my Windows 8.1 Instance. I want to be able to import and export data to Access 2013 files *accdb. I have Office 64 bit installed on my machine. I have searched a lot and can't find exactly what to do
to fix this. I have even done a clean install of SQL, but still no bananas.
I have downloaded and installed Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 but that didn't help.
Any ideas?

OK, now I know why I have never solved this problem. When I try to install Microsoft Access
Database Engine 2010 32 bit version, I get an error saying I cannot install the 32 bit version while running Office 2013 64 bit.
I found this blog http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-civil-3d/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-install-64-bit-Microsoft-Database-Drivers-alongside-32-bit-Microsoft-Office.html
which talks about the opposite problem, but not my problem. Does anyone know of a work around to install the 32bit version of ADE with 64 bit Office?

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.

Convert Existing MDB database files to SQL Server Express

Hi All,
Can some one please help me on this:
1) What is the current version of SQL Server Express?
2) HOw much SQL Server Express costs (figure about 500 branch servers)
3)Are there any Tools from Microsoft to convert Access 97 directly to SQL Server express, and how much do they cost?
4)Server Hardware requirements to run SQL Server Express - disk size, memory size, security settings, pre-requisite, service needed.
5)Maximum capacity / capabilities of SQL Server Express-max # of simultaneous users,tables,rows,database size.
6)Any installation instruction for SQL Server Express.
Thanks in Advance, Pls help
Thanks
Tony

Hi Tony,
Besides Bruce’s post, firstly, SQL Server Express is a free SQL Server edition,
you can download SQL Server 2014 Express directly from
this link and install it on your computer. For how to install SQL Server 2014 Express, please follow the steps in this similar
blog.
Secondly, for more information about hardware and software requirements for Installing SQL Server 2014 Express, please review this article:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx .
Thirdly, SQL Server Express has the following limitations:
• 1 physical processor
• 1 GB of RAM
• 4 GB database size per database in SQL Server 2005 Express and SQL Server 2008 Express , 10 GB database size per database in SQL Server 2008 R2 Express and higher versions of SQL Server Express.
However, there is no limit to the numbers of databases in SQL Server Express. And there is no technical limit to the number of connection that SQL Express can handle.
In addition, there are several methods to convert an Access database to SQL Server, such as using
SQL Server Import and Export Wizard and
SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access, they are both free tools. For more information about convert an Access database to SQL Server, please review this
KB article.

Take offline and then detach Database. Won't let me attach Database back into SQL Server...

Hi, Read some other posts, but couldn't get it to work. Thanks in advance, Here is the error notice:

Make sure to run SSMS as Admin if you're using SQL Server 2012.
It is indeed the known issue and running SSMS as Admin should solve it.
BTW, this solution I found in www.universalthread.com forum. I re-checked these threads if they contain any supporting links, but no. In any case, that solution helped that person and myself as well.

Importing excel file to SQL Server

I have an application that needs to import an excel file with
10 columns of data into an SQL Server database table with 13
columns of data. Two of the 3 extra database columns are manditory,
and I need to manipulate the values going in.
I've determined the best method to do this using coldfusion
is to import the excel file into a cvs file then use SQL to import
the cvs file into SQL server. Does anyone know how to import an
excel document into a cvs file using ColdFusion?
Thanks!

A couple of things come to mind. You might consider using DTS
to import your data directly into SQL Server from Excel, rather
than putting ColdFusion in the middle. Or, you might consider
creating a ColdFusion ODBC datasource out of your Excel file, use a
cfquery to select the applicable data, then insert the data into
SQL Server in a loop. Not very efficient, but it can be done.

Does SSIS guarantee that it loads the data into SQL Server in the same order as it is in Excel

Hi,
We are trying to load several Excel files into SQL Server SSIS and we need to save the data in the database in the same order as it is in Excel..
My question is, Does SSIS guarantee that it loads the data into SQL Server in the same order as it is in Excel. If so, we will add a sequence to ensure we have the order.
Please advise.
Thanks & Regards,
Dhanumjay

Thanks for your response.
If it is one file then we can add an index column, but we have to load hundreds of files.
How adding an index/key column to the table works unless SSIS picks and loads the data in the table in the same order as it is in Excel?
Just to explain my question better,
If excel has three rows {a,b},{c,d},{e,f}, does SSIS ensure it loads the data in the same order in a table.
Thanks.

Loading a CSV file to Sql Server

Hi,
How can i load a csv file, which is in a shared location itn osql using bods.
Where can i create the data source pointing to csv file

Hi,
Use fileformat to load CSV file into SQL server, below the details
A file format defines a connection to a file. Therefore, you use a file format to connect to source or target data when the data is stored in a file rather than a database table. The object library stores file format templates that you use to define specific file formats as sources and targets in data flows.
To work with file formats, perform the following tasks:
• Create a file format template that defines the structure for a file.
• Create a specific source or target file format in a data flow. The source or target file format is based on a template and specifies connection information such as the file name.
File format objects can describe files of the following types:
• Delimited: Characters such as commas or tabs separate each field.
• Fixed width: You specify the column width.
• SAP transport: Use to define data transport objects in SAP application data flows.
• Unstructured text: Use to read one or more files of unstructured text from a directory.
• Unstructured binary: Use to read one or more binary documents from a directory.

Skip bad row during importing large dump into sql server

Hello,
I have an issue during importing very large (more than 3 GB) dump file into sql server express. I have used command line for this purpose. Unfortunately this file was exported in UTF-8 so I had to convert it unicode. The unicode columns contain N' prefix.
Unfortunately the file contains apostrophes in other fields as well.
My question is: Is there an opportunity to skip bad rows during importing? (Force import e.g.)
Sincerely, Laszlo Toth

>>>Unfortunately the file contains apostrophes in other fields as well.
You can concatenate the single quote using the CHAR function to build the string:
SELECT N'Brian O'+CHAR(39)+'Brien'
