Import Prs

Hey guys,

I was curious how other people create several 100 SQL objects on a
new database. Example: I have each procedure in its own text file (IE
100 .sql files), so I just check them out of source control, then run
a perl script that just dumps them into one txt file. Then I paste
that mess into Query Analyzer.

So to reiterate my question, how do other people get sql objects
into a database. Obviously I'd do an object copy if they resided in
some other database.

While my solution works, there is always a better way. Thanks for
your suggestions.

- CptI don't know Perl but I assume you could execute OSQL from your script.
Another method is to invoke a Windows FOR command in a command prompt
window to execute OSQL. For example:

CD C:\SQLScripts
FOR %v in (*.sql) DO OSQL -i "%v" -o "%v.out" -E

Hope this helps.

You could start by looking at using OSQL.EXE to run your .sql scripts
from the command line - it should be straightforward to wrap that in a
script of some sort which gets the list of scripts, then executes them
one by one. You can trap the output from OSQL and use it for error
handling as well.

The suggestion from Dan and Simon to use OSQL is a good one. I'll
add that you can invoke OSQL for each file. This could be help to
track any errors.

For a faster execution you could look into to connect to the database
from Perl using some interface. (There is a short overview on my
web site at: http://www.algonet.se/~sommar/mssql...ternatives.html.

And if you want a ton of bells and whistles, you can look at
http://www.abaris.se/abaperls/. This is the load tool that we use
in our shop, and as the name indicates it's all Perl. You could
say that I started where you are now, and this is what I have seven
years later. :-)

what is the name of the Excel sheet?
usually it defaults to Sheet1$, so the correct syntax is
SET @.SQLString1 = 'SELECT * FROM ExcelSource...[Sheet1$]'

|||the name is correct , I am only testing at this time.
I did remove the extra GO statements and that seems to have resolved the
error messages.
I now have to find an ASP file to dynamically generate the sql statements
for each spreadsheet table and pass them into the stored procedure because
the live database tables have primary keys. That unfortunately requires
using column lists...
I can't believe somebody hasn't already done all this ?

Imporint CSV file using store procedure

I would like to create DTS for Importing from CSV using store procedure, in
which I would like to update fields conditionally.
Anyone can help in this matter or let me know url/tutorial on this.

there are various ways of doing this. My preference is to import the data to a staging
area in SQL Server then use Execute SQL tasks (TSQL) to clean/transform it, before impo
rting it to the production system. Alternatively you can do row by row iteration and fo
r each row decide what to do using VBScript. It sounds like this is the route you're in

Implicit Transaction mode in SQL Server 2000

Hi all:

I know i can use the sentence SET IMPLICIT_TRANSACTIONS ON in a Stored Procedure to force SQL Server to set the connection into implicit transaction mode.

Have i a sentence or configuration to force all SQL Server connections to implicit transaction mode?

Thanks in advance.

Nope, there is no way to change the default isolation level.

I have requested that this be added into the next release of SQL Server. Here is a link to the feature request https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=263746
