IMPORT and EXPORT option in SSMS

Here is an example how to import the data which is in Flat File to SQL Server database.

In my example, I kept the Flat file by the name source.txt on C:\Documents and Settings\Dhinakaran\Desktop\texting

Source.txt is comma seperated value (CSV).

Now i want to load this value into SAMPLE Database of SQL Server (Local system).
to achieve this, Open SSMS.

Select SAMPLE database.

Right click, Select Task, then Import option under task and Give NEXT.

New Import and Export Wizard window will open

You will be guided to next window Screen and here you are asked to select the data Source type. In this case we are using Flat file and So select flat file from Drop down button under Data Source Option.

After selecting, Source type, Browse for the Flat file and in my case Flat file is at C:\Documents and Settings\Dhinakaran\Desktop\texting and Next check Column Names in first row data option if u r first row of flat file indicates column name. In my example i'm check marking that option.

Next we can Select Advanced option and There we can Rename the column in the way we want to use in database.

After renaming, Give Next and it will be guided to new screen.

Here, select destination server and prompt it with user name and password and give Next.
And continue giving next as shown in following Pictures.

and after success, Give close and Run SELECT * FROM SOURCE in SSMS and check whether files have Populated to local server or not.

BIG Data, Hadoop – Chapter 2 - Data Life Cycle

Data Life Cycle The data life cycle is pictorial defined as show below: As we see, in our current system, we capture/ Extract our data, then we store it and later we process for reporting and analytics. But in case of big data, the problem lies in storing and then processing it faster. Hence Hadoop takes this portion, where it stores the data in effective format (Hadoop distributed File System) and also process using its engine (Map Reduce Engine). Since Map Reduce engine or Hadoop engine need data on HDFS format to process, We have favorable tools available in market to do this operation. As an example, Scoop is a tool which converts RDBMS to HDFS. Likewise we have SAP BOD to convert sap system data to HDFS.

Hello all, In this Post, I will explain how to move Multiple Files from One Folder (Say Source) to Other folder (Say Destination).

How to move multiple files in ssis and also rename simultaneously

There are two ways to achieve this. 1) We can move the flat files and then rename it. 2) While moving files itself, automatic rename should be done. We will do the second type. The criteria is to rename the files while moving from source to destination. So for that, we need FILE SYSTEM TASK to be included. Secondly since we need to move many files, we will use FOR EACH LOOP CONTAINER. To fetch all the files, we can use FOR EACH LOOP task in SSIS. In collection tab, we can select FOREACH FILE enumerator option for fetching files and we can change enumerator configuration Folder option: Points to source where we need to fetch files. Files: will give us idea whether we need to fetch all the files (*.*) or if we give extension like *.txt, it is going to fetch only .txt files . Once I give Source name in FOR EACH LOOP container, It is going to fetch all the files corresponding to that path. Retrieve file name: This option is used to let the variables mentioned in V...
