MS SQL Server :: BCP And Bulk Insert To Linked Servers

Why Does Bulk Insert Task Not Work From Remote Servers With Windows Authentication?

Jun 10, 2007

Using Bulk Insert Task extensively in our solution. Everything was working great till we deployed it in stage columns. The database server is different from application servers. We have ASP.NET web services driving SSIS packages on application server. After struggling thru several security issues to get this working (ended up creating an application pool with a domain account) we are now stuck with this problem. On a different note still don't understand what specific security permission is available to domain account that makes it work.

Read in some blog that SQL Server 2005 SP2 Beta had this (Bulk Insert) fixed but not in final production version. Is there a specific reason why this is so?

SSIS and the API is quite easy to work with but associated security and deployment issues are not always clear. A lot of answers seem to be coming from end users - thanks a lot to all for sharing your experiences - sadly not presented clearly in SSIS documentation.

Problem With Linked Servers And INSERT

May 6, 2004

Hello

I have 2 linked SQL servers, trying to communicate with each other. An SP on the one server calls a function on the other to insert the data into a temporary table, but this makes the whole SP freeze. If I just call the function to view the data, it works the fine.

Here's the code:

---------------------

create table #b (type int,label varchar(100),x int,y int,so int)

declare @arg nvarchar(100)
set @arg = 'BLANKET.MaalGrupper.ID38'

declare @tsql varchar(1000)
select @tsql = 'select * from openquery( [erinyes.resultmaker.com], ''select * from blanketter.dbo.fnSelect1( ''''' + @arg + ''''' )'' )'
insert #b exec (@tsql)

drop table #b

-------------------------

I use the openquery function so I can provide the fnSelect1 function with a dynamically generated argument (@arg). If I remove the 'insert #b' part of the next to last line, it works fine. I get the same behaviour if I use an SP instead of the fnSelect1 function.

Can anybody help with this very irritating problem?

Thanks
MNJ

How Do You Use An Identity Column When Doing A Bulk Insert Using The Bulk Insert Task Editor

Apr 18, 2008

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.

Bulk Insert - Bulk Load Data Conversion Error

Jan 17, 2008

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 Don't Suppose BULK UPDATE Exists?... Like BULK INSERT?

Sep 27, 2007

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!
