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'

Import Excel 2007 into SQL Server 2005

Hi
When importing Excel 2007 data into sql via Import wizard:
choose "Microsoft Office 12.0 Access Database Engine OLE DB
Provider" as the data source in SQL Server Import and Export Wizard, then click Properties, switch to the All tab, input your excel file path to the Data source field and input "Excel 12.0" to the Extended Properties field and then click OK to follow the wizard.
I get the following error:
Error 0xc0202009: Source An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005
Error 0xc02020e8: Source Opening a rowset for failed
Exception from HRRESULT: 0xc02020e8 (Microsoft.sqlserver.dtspipelinewrap)
I have recently upgraded to Vista and did not have this problem in XP, does anybody know how to fix this, as I really need to get the data into SQL server 2005 (without using SSIS)
Thanks!

Hi Jin
This is not a problem in SSIS, this is a problem occuring when I try to import data via the Import/Export wizard in Management studio.
This is the exact error I get:
Error 0xc0202009: Source
- <table_name>[1]: An OLE DB error has occurred.
Error code:
0x80004005
Error 0xc02020e8: Source

Check that the object exists in the database.

Many thanks!!

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!

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:

Hi IndigoMontoya,
As a workaroud, how about merge mutiple excel files into one file, then import this excel file to sql table?
To merge excel files, please refer to this script:

#Launch Excel, and make it do as its told (supress confirmations)
$Excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$Excel.Visible = $True
$Excel.DisplayAlerts = $False
#Open up a new workbook
$Dest = $Excel.Workbooks.Add()
#Loop through files, opening each, selecting the Used range, and only grabbing the first 6 columns of it. Then find next available row on the destination worksheet and paste the data
ForEach($File in $Files[0..4]){
$Source = $Excel.Workbooks.Open($File,$true,$true)
If(($Dest.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Count -eq 1) -and ([String]::IsNullOrEmpty($Dest.ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Value2))){ #If there is only 1 used cell and it is blank select A1
[void]$source.ActiveSheet.Range("A1","F$(($Source.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows|Select -Last 1).Row)").Copy()
[void]$Dest.Activate()
[void]$Dest.ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select()
}Else{ #If there is data go to the next empty row and select Column A
[void]$source.ActiveSheet.Range("A1","F$(($Source.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows|Select -Last 1).Row)").Copy()
[void]$Dest.Activate()
[void]$Dest.ActiveSheet.Range("A$(($Dest.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows|Select -last 1).row+1)").Select()

$Source.Close()
$Dest.SaveAs("d:\merge3.xlsx",51)
$Dest.close()
$Excel.Quit()

Import Access Table into SQL Server 2005

I am using BIDS and have created a OLEDB connection to my mdb file, and a DataFlowTask for the Control Flow, but lost on what to set-up on the Data Flow tab. What do I do to set-up the data flow to import the mdb table to sql server?

Why Execute SQL Task is needed?
Typically the SQL is embedded into the OLEDB Source.
I guess when you were working on the destination you chose to create the table. Then you mapped to it. Why you cannot find it in
options I am not sure. Can you post a picture? The table would be now in the drop down list of tables available, but you supposed not to repeat this step.

Maybe I am just not fully understanding the link posted - but am trying. Attached are my screenshots 1 of Control Flow Tab and 2 of Data Flow Tab. My process is to take an access table and link it into SQL Server

Unable to check large model into SQL Server repository via Proxy

I have a model that has over 1000 changes (probably) and I am unable to check the model into a repository on SQL Server 2008R2. We have a proxy service running, and in general the check-in process is much better via the proxy than direct connect. But for a model with "a lot" of changes, the check-in process never completes. I have let it run overnight and it still does not complete. The SQL Server DBA also reports a large "blocking" query running from the PROXY service to the database server when this process seems to "hang".
Has anyone else encountered this behavior? I have had a support ticket open for over a year on this one, with no solution, so I was curious if anyone else found a way to resolve it. (other than avoid "making a lot of changes".

Hi,
First if you want good performance you must use the Proxy. When you use the Proxy PowerDesigner sending large packet of data to the Proxy under a proprietary format (more efficient) and the Proxy run long transactions - many atomic SQL transactions - to the DBMS (SQL Server).
In "PowerDesigner World" the primary use of a direct connection to the DBMS is to create the repository.
For adequate performance the Proxy and the repository (RDBMS) must be installed on the same server. (Also the PD Portal). Thus the thousands of transactions are executed in memory and not over the network (latency problem)
Because you use the SQL Server DBMS you must set ''max server memory'' variable to an appropriate value, by example for 40 users you must set to 8 MB minimum.
You must also activate these two settings - See the PowerDesigner installation Guide
• ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION
• READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT
Physical Server memory usage
a) OS Operating System has need minimum 2 Gb
b) SQL Server runtime 1 Gb
c) SQL Server memory space for PowerAMC 8Gb
d) Proxy memory 6-8Gb
e) I/O memory space 1 Gb minimum
Total 20Gb
Also : Under 'C:\Program Files\Sybase\PowerDesigner 16\ you have "readme.html" file. In this document SAP give information to optimize the referential. Aka modify attribute length TDAT of table PMTEXT
Good luck
Note : SAP know well this problem. SAP would have reduced the number of atomic transactions to the DBMS. Programming techniques exist on this subject. To see.

Step By Step To Import Excel Spreadsheet Into SQL Server & Save Package

Can someone provide a link or detail how to do this for me? There are several options some of which I have no clue what do that I would like to understand so thought I would ask someone with more experience for a step by step. Dumb it down
for a dumby.

SSIS is certianly one option, but you don't NEED to use SSIS for this. please see these links.

There are many options available to you as well. Let me know if you need some more ideas of how to do what you are proposing to do.
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

Data Import from Oracle Dump to SQL Server(2000/2005)

Hi Friends,
I'm using Oracle 10g.
I've a scenario.
I've Oracle Dump file. Now i would like import in SQL Server(2000/2005).
Can any one suggest me how to do this?
Any idea,clue will be highly appreciated.

I think you will need to import the data into SQL Server from an ASCII flat file using SQL Server DTS if avialable. You can use SQL Plus to extract the data outof Oracle into comma delimited flat files and then use SQL Server DTS load into the SQL Server database.

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.

No, if you want to use an 11g export dump and import it using 10g utilities to a 10g database.
Yes, if you use 10g export utility to extract 11g database data, and use 10g import utility to import in 10g database.

Are you attempting to import into a newly made table or into an existing table? It looks like it's trying to insert data where it cannot be inserted (invalid column or lack of data size in your column).
Try the following:
1). In your excel sheet, highlight the whole sheet and make sure the cells are in 'text' form and try re-importing
2). save the document as ms dos TEXT and import as a text document.
3). double check your columns are correct for the data, for example if you have a column that has a string of 100 characters and your column is 'NvarChar(90)' - that might cause the error? Or just correct data type in your column
3). If that doesn't work and you're inserting into a new table, try importing it as string first and writing a query to insert columns that should be float/integer or whatever. You may want to convert float texts to a 'bigint' first rather than string
> float as that can cause problems if I remember correctly.
