View 1 RepliesI am trying to load a text file into an Access 2007 table. I know you can read the file line by line and then create a record out of each line. i was trying to see if this could be done with an INSERT INTO rather than cyclying through all lines of text. My text file is not character delimited but rather by fixed column width. For example:[code]The data in the example has spaces for readability but in reality the data are clumped together like so [code]I cant figure out how to tell the command how the data is structured. I know you can use a schema file but there's got to be a way to do this all through code.
View 1 RepliesI am learning to use TextFieldParser to read a fixed width text data file. It works great. I copied code below. Question: How to stop at the end of each line because I need to add some code?
Using tf As New TextFieldParser(fileName)
tf.TextFieldType = FileIO.FieldType.FixedWidth
tf.SetFieldWidths(60, 30, 20) //three columns

I am trying to import a text file to an access database in VB2008 express. The text file I am testing with is a csv file with 34,000 records. The problem is this takes 2 minutes to read through all this and write it to the database. The actual text file I will be using in production has over 800,000 records and this will take a ridiculous amount of time. I think I am doing something wrong. I have posted my code below. I am reading a record, parsing out the fields to an array, then creating an SQL statement to insert the record and executing it.
reader = New IO.StreamReader(fname)
Do While reader.Peek() >= 0
linesread = linesread + 1

I am a school student and having a project on importing text to access database. The problem seems easy but the issue is the text file i am trying to import has no delimiter. .

Now how can I split the text and import it to an access database.
I have a machine which creates a new log file at the beginning of the day(12am) and updates the log file whenever there is any changes until the end of the day. How do I import the data in real time (30 sec, 1min or whenever there is any changes) to my SQL server database? Will SQL Server 2008 be able to access the active log file? If not will it be easier if I let my machine create a new log file whenever there is any updates? But if it is so, how do I import so many log files with different names in real time. (I must be able to scale the solution up to multiple machines).

For a school program, I was assigned to use a .dat file to store and edit information while using VB to be it's front end( to appear in a listbox). I was also given what field length to use per field. I never worked with .dat files, so I have a few questions (all the google-ing Ive done say the same thing: every .dat file is different so you can't play around with them):

Sources of Assistance: [URL]..Create A Fixed Text File From SQL DB Table I am using VS2005 and would like to add script to my aspx page to Output a Fixed Text File From my SQL DB Table to a location on the network. I did this in VB6 using a FREEFILE and PADSTRING off of an Access DB table. However, I can't seem to get it right in the .NET aspx environment. Can someone assist me with this? I have added the VB6 script that is working now and the .NET aspx vb script that I'm trying to move it to.

what do you think would be the best way to load a fixed length text file into ms access? this is how i would normally do it if it was comma delimitted:
sql.CommandText = "SELECT * INTO [tblMailList] FROM [Text;DATABASE=" & FilePath & ";HDR=NO].[" & FileName & "]"
sql.ExecuteNonQuery()
The file structure is fine for retrieving data from the file but when I go to write data to the elements and hit any of the fixed array elements, I get an exception error. this has got to be a sytax problem I am just not seeing.
It seems that I am not addressing the array member correctly yet the same logic pulls it properly from existing records on file.
in a Module I have the structure as follows:
Structure INVOICE
<VBFixedString(6)> Public NUM As String
<VBFixedString(2)> Public SYMBOL As String

I need to import data from a file into a Microsoft SQL Server database.
The file is roughly structured (inconsistent number of fields but the data needed is available in all rows) The file can contain up to 600'000 records The first field is identifies a record
The import of the data contains updating existing records in the database with the new values or inserting a new record if the record could not be found.
What is the best approach to accomplish that?
(Reading the file line by line, executing a SELECT and UPDATE or INSERT from my .NET Application doesn't truly satisfy me, because this way it processes around 35 records per second, which leads to several hours of processing time...)
A first option might be to combine the select and update/insert commands in a stored procedure, but this would still take a lot of time.
Is there something like MySQL INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE UPDATE?
Is it possible to pass a list/array of records (multiple columns) to a stored procedure?

I receive large pre-formatted XML files. Each XML is formatted the same way - in that they all have the same Parent Nodes and Child Nodes. Each Parent node has at least one Attribute (sometimes 3 or 4) and some fields also have attributes. In my opinion, the formatting of these xmls files is poor and very hard to work with.The Parent Nodes are Databases Tables, the Child Nodes are Fields within the tables and the Attributes are Index Fields in the Tables.My job - is to import these xml files into one database (lets say MSAccess in this example). This database already has the Tables, fields etc...the goal is to import one or more xml files into these tables to create a Consolidation of data.I am successfully doing this now using XPath to navigate through the xml files basically record by record (field by field) and creating INSERT strings which then are used to import into the database tables via OLEDBCommands. Using...

-XPath Navigator
