Database

Yes the File is totally closed. I have thought of another way to do this. well not always a good idea. The Reason why i use a format File is that there is an Identity Field. Now what i did is that i drop the field and imported the data and recreated the Field and it looks OK.

Thanks

brother it is a forum I think u dont know the meaning of forum, here people help each other without Why? and without any thing. I'd solved my problem but I want some suggestions from others.

Now if u know any idea about that then reply otherwise keep quiet

thank you very much.

People here help those who help themselves. People here do not prefer spoon feeding in general. Try out something or search google. If you face any problems, then post the query.

Then I suggest you show your solution and ask if anyone sees ways to improve on it.
That way typically leads to a more interesting thread.

leave it dear,

now first time i'm irritating with this site, code project. Every time when i post a question i received a perfect solution or at least pleasant comments not like these stupid phrases. One want 3 hr to solve it and i'd given only 2 hr to solve it and make related crystal report with complete formatting.

now just stop posting replies on this question.

Only because you used "Please" am I replying to this.

This may be a forum where people help each other, but it is NOT a place where professionals will do your work for you. Most professionals charge for professional work.

Instead, we help people who are stuck on a problem. A pre-requisite to getting help is showing that you are able to at least have a stab at doing it yourself, and therefore when you hit a specific problem, people here are more than happy to help.

But just saying "Please do x for me" will get you either the reply you've gotton above, or a quotation.

I can do this work for you at £50 + VAT per hour and I imagine with implementation and testing there is 3 hours work there.

try this,

select person , name, sum(tot_values) from
( select person,
case when name = 'a' then 'a'
else 'others'
end as name , sum(tot_values) as tot_values from test_tabb
group by person,name
) X
group by person,name
order by person desc, name

Why would I want to try that? I didnt ask how to do it in the first place!

Besides, theres a far simpler way with about half as many lines. (Hint: You can user a case statement in a group by clause Wink | ;)

Bulk Import Error

Good Day All

i have a Following Query that does the Bulk insert

BULK INSERT dbo.TBL_CMPS FROM C:\\UNISA_IMPORT\\Final_Import\\Campuses.csv  WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = ',', ROWTERMINATOR = '\n' );

i get an Error

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Incorrect syntax near 'C'.

and when i add the Quoates in the path like this

BULK INSERT dbo.TBL_CMPS FROM 'C:\\UNISA_IMPORT\\Final_Import\\Campuses.csv'  WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = ',', ROWTERMINATOR = '\n' );

i get the Following Error

Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot bulk load because the file "C:\\UNISA_IMPORT\\Final_Import\\Campuses.csv" could not be opened. Operating system error code 3(The system cannot find the path specified.).

Thank you

This might work;

BULK INSERT dbo.TBL_CMPS FROM 'C:\UNISA_IMPORT\Final_Import\Campuses.csv'  WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = ',', ROWTERMINATOR = '\n' );

The first one doesn't work because of the quotes, the second one has escape-characters in the path.

Operating system error code 3(The system cannot find the path specified.)

These things don't tend to lie, however they can be misleading.

Are you sure the user running this process has access to this file? If so, why are you sure? Are you doubly sure? If so, are you triplly sure the path is correct?

yes , this is Happening in my Development machine and i have local admin Rights, the ASP account has access to this File and Everyone has access to this File.

The Problem is that the SQL Server is in another Machine and am in my Developement Machine. So the Path is not in the Machine. the Solution is to Add the File to the Server and after that access the File after am done with the Import and Delete the File. Now i have one Question. in my database table i have an Identity Column

BULK INSERT dbo.TBL_CMPS FROM 'C:\UNISA_IMPORT\Final_Import\Campuses.csv'  WITH ( FIELDTERMINATOR = ',', ROWTERMINATOR = '\n' );

How can i make the second Column as the First one. Because it tries to add records in the identity field and i get the Following Errors

ulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 2, column 1 (ID).
Msg 4864, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 3, column 1 (ID).
Msg 4864, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 4, column 1 (ID).
Msg 4864, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 5, column 1 (ID).
Msg 4864, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
