Hi,
Is there any .NET package/module/assembly for BCPing the data into SQL
Server.
The BULK INSERT utility works fine, but we are kind of worried on
placing the data.
If there is any utility to build the data into a data structure and BCP
in into the SQL Server, please let know. It would be of great use.
Let know if I should post this elsewhere
Regards,

Hello,
I'm just learning SSIS and I've hit my first bump. I am doing a bulk import from a tab delimited text file to an empty sql table that has a Idendity column defined. How do I tell the bulk insert task to skip that column when inserting from the text file. If I remove the identity column it imports the data fine, but I want to create the indentity column in the table too.
Thanks.
Does anyone know how to do a bulk insert using just the script task? I've been searching everyehere but can't seem to find a sample.
Im having some issues with bulk insert.
This is the table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tmp_GA_status](
[GA_recno] [int] NOT NULL,
[GA_desc] [varchar](40) NULL
)
This is the file (unicode):
1|"test1"
2|"test2"
3|"test3"
4|"test4"
5|"test5"
6|"test6"
7|"test7"
8|"test8"
and this is the sql:
bulk insert tmp_GA_status from 'C: empTextDumpGA_status.dta'
with (CODEPAGE='RAW', FIELDTERMINATOR='|', ROWTERMINATOR='
', DATAFILETYPE='widechar')
so yeah, pretty simple. But whatever I do I get this;
Msg 4864, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 1, column 2 (GA_desc).
So what am I doing wrong ?
I have to update a field within a table of 60 records or so. Each record has a different field value. it's type varchar. i was given an excel file with the field values and was thinking of a bulk update like bulk insert, but i don't recall that it's possible that way.
Is the only way to create a table, bulk insert, then merge the two tables together with UPDATE?
Just wanted to see if there was an easier way to do it, otherwise i'll take the latter route. Thanks!
Hi, folks:
View 18 Replies View RelatedI have a table containing 8 million records.
I need to replace 2 million of these records with
a scaled down query that goes something like:
SELECT 1, ShareholderID, Assets1
FROM MyTable (Yields appx. 200,000 recods)
SELECT 2, ShareholderID, Assets2
FROM MyTable (Yields appx. 200,000 recods)
.
.
.
SELECT 10, ShareholderID, Assets1 + Assest2 + Assets3 + ... + Assets9
FROM MyTable (Yields appx. 200,000 recods)
Updates and cursors just seem to be too slow.
So far I have done the following, but was wondering if anyone could think of a better way.
SELECT 6 million records that don't need to be deleted into a #TempTable
Use statements above to select into same #TempTable
DROP and recreate Original Table
SELECT 6 + 2 million records INTO original table.
This seems rather convoluted. Is there a better approach? Would it be worth while to dump data to a file and use bcp / Bulk Insert
Any comments are appreciated,

I receive the following error message when I try to use the Bulk Insert Task to load BCP data into a table:
Error: 0xC002F304 at Bulk Insert Task, Bulk Insert Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.The bulk load failed. The column is too long in the data file for row 1, column 4. Verify that the field terminator and row terminator are specified correctly.Bulk load data conversion error (overflow) for row 1, column 1 (rowno).".
Task failed: Bulk Insert Task
In SSMS I am able to issue the following command and the data loads into a TableName table with no error messages:
BULK INSERT TableName
FROM 'C:DataDbTableName.bcp'
WITH (DATAFILETYPE='widenative');
What configuration is required for the Bulk Insert Task in SSIS to make the data load? BTW - the TableName.bcp file is bulk copy file as bcp widenative data type. The properties of the Bulk Insert Task are the following:
DataFileType: DTSBulkInsert_DataFileType_WideNative
RowTerminator: {CR}{LF}
Any help getting the bcp file to load would be appreciated. Let me know if you require any other information, thanks for all your help.

I work with February CTP of SqlServer 2008.
I have an Assembly with several UDTs inside. Version of assembly is 1.0.*
I use CREATE ASSEMBLY statement to register this assembly, and it runs without any errors. Then I rebuild CLR solution without doing any changes in source code. In that case the only difference between new and old assemblies is version (difference in fourth part of version).
Then I try to update assembly in SqlServer. I use
ALTER ASSEMBLY <name>
FROM <path>
WITH PERMISSION_SET = UNSAFE, UNCHECKED DATA
statement for this. Statement runs with error:
Msg 6509An error occurred while gathering metadata from assembly €˜<Assembly name>€™ with HRESULT 0x1.
I found the list of condition for ALTER ASSEMBLY in MSDN:
ALTER ASSEMBLY statement cannot be used to change the following:
· The signatures of CLR functions, aggregate functions, stored procedures, and triggers in an instance of SQL Server that reference the assembly. ALTER ASSEMBLY fails when SQL Server cannot rebind .NET Framework database objects in SQL Server with the new version of the assembly.
· The signatures of methods in the assembly that are called from other assemblies.
· The list of assemblies that depend on the assembly, as referenced in the DependentList property of the assembly.
· The indexability of a method, unless there are no indexes or persisted computed columns depending on that method, either directly or indirectly.
· The FillRow method name attribute for CLR table-valued functions.
· The Accumulate and Terminate method signature for user-defined aggregates.
· System assemblies.
· Assembly ownership. Use ALTER AUTHORIZATION (Transact-SQL) instead.
Additionally, for assemblies that implement user-defined types, ALTER ASSEMBLY can be used for making only the following changes:
· Modifying public methods of the user-defined type class, as long as signatures or attributes are not changed.
· Adding new public methods.
· Modifying private methods in any way.
But I haven€™t done any changes in source code, so new version of assembly satisfies all this conditions.
What could be the reason for such behavior?
P.S. I€™ve got the same error, if I add or change any method in assembly before rebuilding.
I'm trying to use Bulk insert for the first time and getting the following error. I think it might have something to do with my Format File and from the error msg there's a conversion error for the first column. In my database the Field is nvarchar(6) so my best guess is to use SQLNChar for the first column. I've checked the end of each line is CR LF therefore the is correct for line 7 right?

Hi~,
Before implementing memory based bulk copy insert with IRowsetFastLoad interface of SQL Server 2005 OLE DB provider, I want to know some considerations.
- performance : compared with T-SQL's "BULK INSERT ..." and bcp utility
- SQL Server's resource usage : when running memory based bulk copy, server resource's influence
- server side action(behavior) : when server is busy, delayed-update means IRowsetFastLoad::Commit(true) method can insert right after?
- row-count : The rowcount limitation can be inserted by IRowsetFastLoad::InsertRow() method before IRowsetFastLoad::Commit
- any other guide lines
I have a web form with a text field that needs to take in as much as the user decides to type and insert it into an nvarchar(max) field in the database behind. I've tried using the new .write() method in my update statement, but it cuts off the text after a while. Is there a way to insert/update in SQL 2005 this without resorting to Bulk Insert? It bloats the transaction log and turning the logging off requires a call to sp_dboptions (or a straight-up ALTER DATABASE), which I'd like to avoid if I can.

Iam reading file using bulk insert and iam inserting these phone numbers into table having one column as below.
BULK INSERT TABLE_NAME FROM 'FILE_PATH'

but i want to insert the data into table having two columns. if iam trying to insert the data into table having two columns its not inserting.
can anyone help me how to do this?

In case of a bulk insert, the “FOR INSERT� trigger fires for each recod or only once?
Thanks,
Hello,
I am wondering is the Transaction Log logged differently between BULK INSERT vs INSERT? Performance speaking, which operations is generally faster given the same amout of data inserted.

Hi~, I have 3 questions about memory based bulk copy.
1. What is the limitation count of IRowsetFastLoad::InsertRow() method before IRowsetFastLoad::Commit(true)?
For example, how much insert row at below sample?(the max value of nCount)
for(i=0 ; i<nCount ; i++)
{
pIFastLoad->InsertRow(hAccessor, (void*)(&BulkData));
}
2. In above code sample, isn't there method of inserting prepared array at once directly(BulkData array, not for loop)
3. In OLE DB memory based bulk copy, what is the equivalent of below's T-SQL bulk copy option ?
BULK INSERT database_name.schema_name.table_name FROM 'data_file' WITH (ROWS_PER_BATCH = rows_per_batch, TABLOCK);
-------------------------------------------------------
My solution is like this. Is it correct?
// CoCreateInstance(...);
// Data source
// Create session
m_TableID.uName.pwszName = m_wszTableName;
m_TableID.eKind = DBKIND_NAME;
DBPROP rgProps[1];
DBPROPSET PropSet[1];
rgProps[0].dwOptions = DBPROPOPTIONS_REQUIRED;
rgProps[0].colid = DB_NULLID;
rgProps[0].vValue.vt = VT_BSTR;
rgProps[0].dwPropertyID = SSPROP_FASTLOADOPTIONS;
rgProps[0].vValue.bstrVal = L"ROWS_PER_BATCH = 10000,TABLOCK";
PropSet[0].rgProperties = rgProps;
PropSet[0].cProperties = 1;
PropSet[0].guidPropertySet = DBPROPSET_SQLSERVERROWSET;
if(m_pIOpenRowset)
{
if(FAILED(m_pIOpenRowset->OpenRowset(NULL,&m_TableID,NULL,IID_IRowsetFastLoad,1,PropSet,(LPUNKNOWN*)&m_pIRowsetFastLoad)))

return FALSE;

I am trying to get a function I created in VB 5 for Access and Excel to work in SQL 2005. I was able to update the old VB code to work in VB 2005. I compiled and made a .dll, and I was able to register the new Assembly in SQL Server. When I try to create the Function, I get an error:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.Temperature(@FluidName char, @InpCode Char, @Units Char, @Prop1 varchar, @Prop2 varChar)
RETURNS VarChar
AS EXTERNAL NAME FluidProps.[FluidProps.FluidProperties.Fluids].Temperature
Error returned:
Msg 6573, Level 16, State 1, Procedure Temperature, Line 21
Method, property or field 'Temperature' of class 'FluidProps.FluidProperties.Fluids' in assembly 'FluidProps' is not static.
Here is the code (part of it) in the VB class:
Header:
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Server
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports System.Security
Imports System.Security.Permissions
Namespace FluidProperties
'Option Strict Off
'Option Explicit On
Public Partial Class Fluids
Function:
Function Temperature(ByRef FluidName As Object, ByRef InpCode As Object, ByRef Units As Object, ByRef Prop1 As Object, Optional ByRef Prop2 As Object = Nothing) As Object
Call CalcProp(FluidName, InpCode, Units, Prop1, Prop2)
Temperature = ConvertUnits("-T", Units, T, 0)
End Function
If I change the Function Temperature to Static, I get an error that functions cannot be Static. Its been a long time since I created the code and am having a hard time in my older age of getting the cobwebs out to make it work.
I have no problem getting the function to work if I call it from a VB form....so what do I need to do to get it to work on data in my SQL server?
Thanks

I previously had an ASP.NET 1.1 site running on my IIS 6.0 server (not the default website) with Reporting Services running in a subdirectory of that website. I recently upgraded to ASP.NET 2.0 for my website and was greeted with an error when trying to view a report. The error was very non-descript, but when I checked the server logs, it recorded the details as "It is not possible to run two different versions of ASP.NET in the same IIS process. Please use the IIS Administration Tool to reconfigure your server to run the application in a separate process."
First of all, I could not figure out where and how to do this. Secondly, I decided to try to also change the Reporting Services folders to run ASP.NET 2.0 and when I did, I was greeted with the following message when attempting to view a report:
"Failed to load expression host assembly. Details: StrongName cannot have an empty string for the assembly name."
Please help.
Hi
I am a bit paranoid about what I just did to my SQL Server 2005 with this CLR experiment.
I created a Class Lib in C# called inLineLib that has a class Queue which represents an object with an ID field.
in another separate namespace called inLineCLRsql, I created a class called test which will hold the function to be accessed from DB, I referenced and created an instances of the Queue class, and retrieve it's ID in a function called PrintMessage.
namespace inlineCLRsql{
public static class test{
public static void PrintMessage(){
inLineLib.Queue q = new inLineLib.Queue();
int i = q.queueId ;
Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlContext.Pipe.Send(i.ToString());
}
}
}
to access this from the db, I attempted to create an assembley referencing inLineCLRsql.dll. This didn't work as it complained about inLineLib assembly not existing in the db. I then attempted to create an assembley for inLineLib but it barfed saying System.Management assembly not created.
so what I did is (and this is where I need to know if I just ruined sql server or not):
1- ALTER DATABASE myDB SET TRUSTWORTHY ON;.
2- CREATE ASSEMBLY SystemManagement
FROM 'C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727System.Management.dll'
WITH PERMISSION_SET = UNSAFE
3- CREATE ASSEMBLY inLineLibMaster
FROM 'D:inLineServerinLineLibinDebuginLineLib.dll'
WITH PERMISSION_SET = unsafe
4- and finally
CREATE ASSEMBLY inLineLib
FROM 'D:inLineServerCLRSQLinlineCLRsqlinDebuginlineCLRsql.dll'
WITH PERMISSION_SET = SAFE
Everything works after those steps (which took some trial and error). I can create a sproc like:
CREATE PROC sp_test AS
EXTERNAL NAME inLineLib.[inlineCLRsql.test].PrintMessage
and it returns the Queue ID
Is there anything unadvisable about the steps above?
Thanks for your help

I have two SSIS packages that import from the same flat file into the same SQL 2005 table. I have one flat file connection (to a comma delimited file) and one OLE DB connection (to a SQL 2005 Database). Both packages use these same two Connection Managers. The SQL table allows NULL values for all fields. The flat file has "empty values" (i.e., ,"", ) for certain columns.
The first package uses the Data Flow Task with the "Keep nulls" property of the OLE DB Destination Editor unchecked. The columns in the source and destination are identically named thus the mapping is automatically assigned and is mapped based on ordinal position (which is equivalent to the mapping using Bulk Insert). When this task is executed no null values are inserted into the SQL table for the "empty values" from the flat file. Empty string values are inserted instead of NULL.
The second package uses the Bulk Insert Task with the "KeepNulls" property for the task (shown in the Properties pane when the task in selected in the Control Flow window) set to "False". When the task is executed NULL values are inserted into the SQL table for the "empty values" from the flat file.
So using the Data Flow Task " " (i.e., blank) is inserted. Using the Bulk Insert Task NULL is inserted (i.e., nothing is inserted, the field is skipped, the value for the record is omitted).
I want to have the exact same behavior on my data in the Bulk Insert Task as I do with the Data Flow Task.
Using the Bulk Insert Task, what must I do to have the Empty String values inserted into the SQL table where there is an "empty value" in the flat file? Why & how does this occur automatically in the Data Flow Task?
From a SQL Profile Trace comparison of the two methods I do not see where the syntax of the insert command nor the statements for the preceeding captured steps has dictated this change in the behavior of the inserted "" value for the recordset. Please help me understand what is going on here and how to accomplish this using the Bulk Insert Task.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,I've a SP that insert records in one table and then call another insert SP on a second table. The first table is like a master table and the second is like a child table. After inserting the right record in the master table, I've to insert some record in the child table. This records differ each other only by two of about ten field, so what I'd want is not to call the second SP X times, but only one time.. Is it possible??ExampleTable1: Id (identity), Desc;Table2: Id (identity), Id_table1, Id_TableX, Num, Field1, Field2, ... Field10.In Table2 only Id_TableX and Num change every time... the other are all the same (for one record in Table1). How can I do? Probably with a bulk insert and a bulk update?? But, can I make a bulk xxx without a file??

I am trying to do a bulk insert from a data file into a linked access database. When I run the query I get the error message:
'Server: Msg 4801, Level 16, State 81, Line 1
Bulk_main: The opentable system function on BULK INSERT table failed.
Not sure what the problem is because BOL just says to check Microsoft.com for updated error message information. However, when I went to the site there was no updated information. Has anyone else seen this error? If so, have you figured out the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

How does one perform a bulk insert?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe've been using Bulk Insert to load our tables. But, recently we encountered this error message "There is insufficient system memory to run this query. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 701). The step failed."
Then, our DBA suggested that we use BCP. It seems to work fine until the file size exceeds 30MB. This is the message I get "Starting copy... 0 rows copied. Network packet size (bytes): 4096 Clock Time (ms.): total 14984. Process Exit Code 0. The step succeeded." Is this a known problem?
Then, we decided to use DTS. DTS seems to be able to handle any file size but it's a slower process than the other 2. Any suggestions?

I often encountered to insert multiple records into a certain table, such as:
DESCRIPTION AMOUNT
SALARY 8000
ALLOWANCE 100
CASH GIFT 400
FOOD ALLOWANCE 460
SCENARIO:
I want to insert at one time the example written above into TBLcompensation table with the following fields,
ID(identity,1), DESCRIPTION ,AMOUNT
QUESTION:
Is there other ways to INSERT multiple records at one time?
MY SOLUTION:
I collected all records and concatenated it as one string with a special character separating between fields and rows. Then i do the looping on the STORE PROCEDURE. I believe this is not an effecient way.
I am trying to bulk insert every third row of a file into a table.Is there a way that I can do it?
