Dts

Hi All,

I am trying to populate an Oracle table with the data from an Excel spreadsheet using DTS. The Excel spreadsheet has three date fields. When I run DTS one of these three fields is populated correctly and the other two just come over as blank. Any idea?

Any help is appreciated.Whenever importing data, especially from unreliable formats such as Excel, it is wise to load the records into a staging table first, and then use a stored procedure to verify, cleanse, and transfer the data to your production table.
Make the columns in your staging table NVARCHAR2, so you can see what is actually coming into them, and that will help you debug the situation.|||excel? DTS? SQL Server? oracle?
