I would like to know if it is possible to Transfer Data into SQL Server from a multi value database file using SSIS.
The only thing that I could find online was using a bluefinity tool to achieve this.
Thanks

I have done this from Universe, but Universe has an ODBC driver that allows the datavase to be viewed as if they were tables. Almost like SQL views.
SSIS can import from almost anything that you can get either a .Net, ODBC, or OLE DB driver for. There has to be someway to talk to the DB from an extrnal program, though.
I suspect that you has no driver (ODBC,OLEDB,.NET). So you can use C# script (even from SSIS) and extract data to flat file and then to SQL Server or do it directly to SQL Server.

I have access to a .db file that I would like to query somehow to pull data from it for my other database. So far I have been unable to do this through an ODBC or SQL server directly. I would think that this is possible but I can't seem to find any ideas how.
.db files are standalone files, so cannot be Opened through SSMS.
Use SQLITE DB BROWSER to work on those files. Thanks :)
.db files are standalone files, which means they don't need server to work, which also means you can't open it with SQL Server 2008.

If this is a one time load, the easiest option would be using the SQL Server Import and Export wizard from SSMS. You'll need a Sqlite ODBC driver. The one here should work.
Another option is to create a linked server to SQLite database from SQL Server. See this article for instructions.
Here are a couple of StackOverflow posts on loading data from Sqlite to SQL Server which might be helpful.

I want to migrate a Btrieve Database to Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2. I already have done the step of migration to Pervasive PSQL 10 Workstation (x86), which offers an ODBC / OLE DB driver. (It seems Microsof doesn't offer any solution to import Btrieve.)
Ok, so far so good, but how can I transfer the whole database (schema and data) into Microsoft SQL Server? The Import Wizard of SQL Server crashes every time and is useless, because it doesn't map Date- and Memo-Datatypes correctly. I also tried to map these datatypes manually, but the wizard always crashes, caused by ODBC-Errors.
So, I'm looking for a tool which offers a native driver to Btrieve or PSQL 10. It would be nice if it is free, because I only need it for this single migration.
TIA! ^^
There is a tool with a Btrieve driver but you still need the DDFs (just like in ODBC) available from Pervasive called Data Integrator. It is not free but you can find more information at http://integration.pervasive.com/.
Another more manual option would be to export the data from PSQL to CSV, then import the CSV to the MS SQL server. You would have to manually create the tables in the MS SQL database but it could be done with the tools you have.
Also, you say it's crashing with ODBC errors. Are the ODBC errors from PSQL or MS SQL? What are they?
I'm getting data as an Access file.
My application uses MySQL/Java. I'd like to parse the Access data, and stick it in MySQL.
Is there a Java tool that will help me do this?
MDB Tools is a set of open source libraries and utilities to facilitate exporting data from MS Access databases (mdb files) without using the Microsoft DLLs. Thus non Windows OSs can read the data.
If this is a one time conversion just use MS-Access, link to your MySQL database tables and use update queries to transfer the data.
If your app needs to import Access data into MySQL on a continuing basis you could connect to Access via ODBC and then have your app write the data to MySQL.
Similar to this question only the other way of flow.
Insert Picture into SQL Server 2005 Image Field using only SQL
I need to be able to save a image field out into the file system and be able to name the file with only using SQL. I don't want to use TEXTCOPY either because I need to use the connection to the database that is running the query itself.
I'd like this to work in SQL 2005 to support older database clients but if it's available in only 2008 that's fine.
Any ideas?
With SQL 2k8 there is the new FILESTREAM type that covers such cases. Filestreams can be opened via the Win32 file access handle like any other file, but hey are integrated into the database from transaction and backup/restore point of view.
I had a similar issue in SQL 2k5 and my solution was to use a CLR stored procedure with EXTERNAL_ACCESS that was writing into the file system using C# file operations.
I don't believe there is a way to save out using only sql, but there is a command-line utility, bcp.
I want to import data from MS SQL Server, run it through some sort of regexp to filter out stuff, and import it into MySQL. I then, for each query, wish to display a relevant image from a third database. What would be the easiest way to do this, importing and linking wise?
Thank you.
Clarification: It is a php application to filter data from another database, and then for each record show an associated image from a 3rd database. It is from scratch...
You can try the MySQL Migration Toolkit.
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html
Now archived at http://downloads.mysql.com/archives.php?p=mysql-migration-toolkit
use SQL Management Studio (or Enterprise Manager depending on version) with the SQL Server import wizerd to get it into MS SQL.
From there you can export it to Mysql using the MySQL connector drivers.
As for as displaying an image from a third database, that is completely up to the code you have written in your application.
I would use the Microsoft SQL Server Data Publishing Wizard (free). You can use it to script your entire database (including insert statements.) You'll have to edit this script a little bit probably to get it to run in MySQL. Now you just have a regex problem. You can try:
Manipulating the data in MS SQL via a query, or from code (using regex) the transfer.
Running your regexes on the script file itself, maybe try some macros, find and replace, etc.
Manipulating the data in MySQL via a query, or from code (using regex) after the transfer.
