I have an SSIS to import a CSV file to SQL table in the source connection using quotation(")as Text Qualifier . In some of the files two columns have extra quotation mark(eg: "Col1"",Col2""") . it is importing to table as one column(Col1",Col2"). Is there any way to escape these quotation and insert the data correctly in two columns?

I am creating a pipeline in google data fusion that should read records from a source database and write them to a target csv file in Cloud Storage.
The problem is that in the resulting file the separator character is a comma ",", and some fields are of type string and contains phrases with commas, so when I try to load the resulting file in wrangler as a csv, I get an error, because the number of fields in the csv does not match the number of fields in the schema (because of fields containing comma strings).
How can I escape these special characters in the pipeline?
Thanks and regards
Try writing the data as TSV instead of CSV (set the format of the sink plugin to tsv). Then load the data as tsv in Wrangler.
i wrote sql server table data to .csv file by using SSIS package. In flat file conncetion i've mentioned semi-colon as delimiter. Some of the values in my table are having commas(for example : CODE A,B,C) in .csv file CODE A is coming into 1st column and B is in 2nd vice-versa. now how can i keep all these values in a first column of .csv file with delimiter as ;
Probably you are opening your flat file in Excel, and opening it as a comma-separated file.
You need to specify to Excel when you open it that your file is delimited by semi-colons. Then it will display correctly.
I have a rather large csv file (half a billion rows) in which one field is a string. However, the format that this file is provided in does not include '' around the string. Is there a way to import this into a MySQL database without writing a concatenation program to break the data down add the quotes and recombine the data for a line by line insert statement?
If you only import data at one time. You can use the MYSQL Workbanch to import a csv file.
You'd better do NOT insert data line by line. This way is inefficient.
You can perform sql statement like this:
INSERT INTO MyTable(ID,NAME) VALUES(7,'003'),(8,'004'),(9,'005');
I have a file of 700 000 rows and 90 columns and I had converted it to csv to upload it (using qualifier: "). The import worked but when I look at the table in SQL I see few text has moved to the next column.
In the actual file there is column called Comments and it has all type of characters(like *,|,| etc). Can this be the reason?
I tried doing the same import from .xlsb but it throws an error:
Failed to start
project(Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration)
If your fields have the same characters s the separator then of course the whole thing will break.
If you create the CSV with , as the separator and quotes (") around the fields, you should be able to handle it in SSIS using these instructions by adding " as the text qualifier.
I haven't tested this myself, but I would assume it works just fine.
I was trying to load a .csv file into my database. It was a comma delimited file and for one of the columns there is a comma(,) in between the data just like Texas,Houston can some one help me how to get rid of the comma in between. the package which i have created recognizing the value after the comma as a new column but it should not be like that. Can any of the guys help me in this. I was getting error in the Flat file source itself. I thought of using Derived column but the package is failing at the source point itself.
Well some "comma" delimited files have ,"something or other", when there is a string and only use ,numeric_value, when its a number type. If your file is like this then you can preprocess your file changing ," for some (other) rare character, and similarly ", then replace the , if it occurs between the two rare characters. Or you can count the comma in any line and if its greater than the number pf delimited columns, manually frocess the exceptions
