I am using SQL Bulk Insert to insert data into a temporary table.
My table has a column XYZ which is defined as varchar NOT NULL and I want if the XYZ column data in the delimited file is empty, it should be written to error file. Currently SQL BI treats it as a 0 length string and inserts into the table.
The delimited file looks like this:
Col1|XYZ|Col2
abc||abc
abc||abc
abc|abc|abc
I tried using CHECK_CONSTRAINTS in SQL BI query and created a Check constraint on XYZ column in table as XYZ <> '', but rather then writing particular row to error file, it causes the entire SQL BI to fail.
Please help.

I am running a daily full load to fill a table in my db. I have discovered that using
insert into targettable
select * from sourcetable
store some values in my target table that are possibly entered at source with wrong encoding. For example, one value looks like this:
ΞΏΞΉΞΊΞΏΞ½ΞΏΞΌΞΏΟΞΉΟΞ±Ξ½Ξ½Ξ·Ο
But when i execute :
select * from targettable where name = 'ΞΏΞΉΞΊΞΏΞ½ΞΏΞΌΞΏΟΞΉΟΞ±Ξ½Ξ½Ξ·Ο'
it returns no rows.
DB,table and column collation is set to Greek_CI_AI
Is there a way to locate and fix these values in my target table?
If not how would i make sure that these values will not be inserted in my target table. (can use sql statement or SSIS task )
I am using SQL Server 2008 and I have a table that has two columns. One column is for a row of text and the second is for the name of the text file. I am using the command below. This works fine to insert the rows of text but is there any way to also insert the file name test.txt with all the rows?
BULK INSERT viewFile FROM 'C:\test.txt' WITH (ROWTERMINATOR ='\n')
I am new to SQL and SSIS work. I'd like to dynamically export SQL datatable to a CSV file everysec using SSIS. one of column name RECIPE STATUS, value is 1 OR 2 (int) (1 is new Recipe, 2 is old recipe which is existed), Another column name is RECIPE NAME, value is AAABBB (varchar) some more columns with values In Database table, only one row data avaialble, it will be changed ev sec. So we are trying to export it to csv file to log different/unique RECIPENAMES and data for analysis.
Table Schema is
SELECT TOP 5 [RowID]
,[RowInsertTime]
,[TransId]
,[RecipeStatus]
,[RecipeName]
,[RecipeTagName]
,[Value]
,[ReadStatus]
,[sData1]
,[sData2]
,[sData3]
,[nData1]
,[nData2]
,[nData3]
FROM [MES].[dbo].[MESWrite_RecipeData]
While exporting, based on RECIPE STATUS value if 1, then Insert/create a new row in CSV and export. (Its a simple insert TSQL statement, insert into csvfile (values from databsetable)
if value 2 means RECIPENAME value is AAABBB existed in CSV already. so find and update other columns values. so in this case don't create a new row in csv. (i can say update all othercolumns with values from database table to csv where RECIPENAME="AAABBB") like Update Query in T-SQL
. finally if we have to send this SSIS package to a customer, it can be executable file. or how to make secured? Please help me ..
I have a a table with the structure:
I also have a csv containing all the coupon codes only.
I want to use the same values for the other fields (except id of course).
What would be the be the sql required to insert these rows?
Using phpMyAdmin You can insert data from CSV only if it contains all of the required (NOT NULL column) values - the other (when missing) will be filled with defaults, NULL or auto_incremeneted. But Using this tool it is not possible to insert only codes from CSV and use some same values for the other fields. So here You have two options: either set the default values of that columns not being updated from CSV to the desired ones or create a PHP import script, that will do that for You (if You do not want to change the DB table schema).
When extracting data from a table (schema and data) I can do this by right clicking on the database and by going to tasks->Generate Scripts and it gives me all the data from the table including the create script, which is good.
This though gives me all the data from the table - can this be changed to give me only some of the data from the table? e.g only data on the table after a certain dtmTimeStamp?
Thanks,
I would recommend extracting your data into a separate table using a query and then using generate scripts on this table. Alternatively you can extract the data separately into a flatfile using the export data wizard (include your column headers and use comma seperators with double quote field delimiters).
To make a copy of your table:
SELECT Col1 ,Col2
INTO CloneTable
FROM MyTable
WHERE Col3 = #Condition
(Thanks to #MarkD for adding that)
