Telling SSIS how to interpret a date from a file

Hi Everyone.
I'm using SSIS to read a delimited file. The file I'm reading has dates in different formats in different columns. Unfortunately, some columns have the dates with only 2 digits for the year, and this, in some columns, makes SSIS take a bad guess at the date
format so that on some values, the year is interpreted as the dd rather than yy and vice versa.
Is it possible in SSIS to specify, per column of the source text file, the format of expected date, similar to the "104" in a TSQL command like CONVERT(datetime, '24.04.2012', 104)?
It seems like all I can do is say that it's a "db_date" or "date" without any qualifier.
Thanks in advance

You showed a conversin, but even the T-SQL CONVERT will fail if "2 digits for the year" provided e.g. 10-10-10
E.g.
SELECT CONVERT(datetime, '10-10-12', 104)
Will not work.
My take on this - do not try to clean the data else you will be responsible for mistakes.
The source needs to be sterile. It is impossible in what format a date was given. Unless you have a lookup table provided by those who know.

    Hello Sachin,
    You can use the following metalink note:How to Read Data from an EXCEL Spreadsheet into a Form Using Webutil Client_OLE2 (Doc ID 813535.1) and modify it a little bit.
    Instead of copy values into forms you can save them in your temporary table.

  • How to load spatial data from .shp file

    Could anyone suggest an easy to use, free tool to upload spatial data from .shp file (or/and other open source spatial file sources) into an Oracle Locator database?
    We have licensing for ArcGIS10, but nobody (including ArcGIS) have been able to successfully create a direct connection from their software to our Oracle 10.2 database.
    Client desktops here are Windows 7 64bit, which further complicates matters (tend to find neither ArcGIS nor Oracle support 64bit OS in a cogent fashion)

    790951,
    . . . .You can also try Oracle's ShapeFile Converter (shp2sdo). It's a command line utility so there's automation potential.
    . . . .Note that ESRI's tools may (depending on how they're used) store spatial content in Oracle Spatial as BLOBs containing their ST_GEOMETRY data-type (rather than Oracle's SDO_GEOMETRY type).

    When you get an error with external tables (or sql*loader) look in the same folder as the data file and you should get a .log file and maybe a .bad file too.
    The log file should indicate the nature of the error it has trying to load the data.

  • How to read the data from excel file and store into the table?

    Hi All,
    I have table with BLOB datatype contains a excel file. I have to read that data from excel and store into one table with all the fields in excel.
    All the excel fields and my table columns are same.
    Can you share with me how can acheive this using LOB's?
    Thanks

    Hi OraSuirya,
    you can try with external tables .
    syntax as follows
    create table ext_table_csv (
    i Number,
    n Varchar2(20),
    m Varchar2(20)
    organization external (
    type oracle_loader
    default directory ext_dir
    access parameters (
    records delimited by newline
    fields terminated by ','
    missing field values are null
    location ('file.csv')
    reject limit unlimited;
    For this you need to create directory
    Directory Creation syntax:
    create or replace directory ext_dir as 'D:\oracle\user_dir\ext_dir';
    grant read, write on directory ext_dir to <User>;
    please paste the excel file in the particular directory .
    I hope this will help you.
    Please correct me if I am wrong anywhere .
    Thanks,
    Tippu.

    Hello,
    many thanks for the reply. Your examples are very usefull for me.
    To answer your questions.
    An XML structure:
    /etd
        /header - repeat in each row in output
        /account_group/account
            /invoice
                /da - repeat for each details under "selected "invoice
                /detaildc/dc - the lowest level 
                /detaildn/dn - the lowest level 
                /dt - repeat for each details under "selected "invoice
        /footer - repeat in each row in outputI would like to to have a 1 row for each "record" in /detaildc section and include related nodes at higher levels.
    Please see below XML file, which is simplified file of example in first post, but includes a complete xml structure which needs to be queried in db.

  • How to load the data from flat file ( ex excel ) to Planning area directly

    Hi all ,
    How can i load thedata fro m flat file directly to Planning area .
    PLease help me in this.
    Regards,
    Chandu .

    download one key figure data from planning book ( interactive damand plan) and made some changes and need to upload the data back to same planning book
    But, may I know why you are thinking of downloading, changing and uploading for just changing the figures for a particular key figure. You can do it in the planning book itself.
    However, not all the key-figures can be changed. But, what type of key-figure  you are speaking here? Is it like 'Forecast' for which the value is based on other key-figures, or is like a key-figure where some manual adjustments are to be done--so that it can be manually edited? However,  in both the cases, the data can be changed in the planning book only. In first case, you can change the values of dependant key-figures and in the second case, you can change the key-figures directly.
    And please note that you can change the values of the key-figures only at the detailed level. So, after loading the data in the book, use drill-down option, maintain the data at the detailed level, change the figures, and automatically, this gets reflected at the higher level.
    In case you are unable to change the values, go to the 'Design' mode of the book, right-click your key-figure, under "Selected Rows", uncheck "Output Only" option. In case you are unable to see that option, then you are not authorised to change that. See if you can change the authorisations by going to the "Data View" tab in planning book configuration (/n/sapapo/sdp8b), and change the value of Status to 3.
    Hope your query is answered with different solutions offered by many of the sdn colleagues here.
    Regards,
    Guru Charan.

  • How to regularly load data from .csv file to database (using apex)

    Hi,
    i am using apex3 , I need to load data from a csv file to apex . I need to perform this automatically through code at regular time interval of 5-10 seconds.
    Is it possible .If yes how ?. Please reply as early as possible. This will decide whether to use apex or not for this application.
    this is question for Application Express. Dont know why in forum for BPEL
    Edited by: TEJU on Oct 24, 2008 2:57 PM

    Hello,
    You really need to load the data every 5-10 seconds? Presumably it's read only?
    I would look at using an Oracle external table instead, that way you just drop your CSV in a location the DB can read it and then you build a table that essentially references the underlying CSV (that way when you query the table you view the data in the CSV file).
    Take a look at this link for a quick example on usage -
    http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/9i/SQLNewFeatures9i.php#ExternalTables
    Hope this helps,
    John.
