BULK INSERT - Does It Lock The File While Reading?
Jul 23, 2005
Howdy, all. We have a (log-type) file that's constantly being written
to. We need to grab the latest rows out of this file, insert them into
a table, and then process them. We've found out the hard way that BCP
locks the file while it's inserting, so rows can't be written to the
file while the BCP is running.
Our current workaround is to make a copy of the file (using ftp), but
we're running into other problems.
I'm trying to find a better way to do this. We've narrowed down a
couple.
1) use TAIL or something similar to grab the records since we last ran.
2) use BULK INSERT, provided it doesn't lock the file.
3) get suggestions off of USENET. :)
Any suggestions or comments?
Thanks,
Michael

Hi all,Hope there is a quick fix for this:I am inserting data from one table to another on the same DB. Theinsert is pretty simple as in:insert into datatable(field1, field2, field3)select a1, a2, a3 from temptable...This inserts about 4 millions rows in one go. And since I had the'cannot obtain lock resources' problem, several methods were suggestedby some web sites:1) one to split the insert into smaller chunks (I have no idea how Ican spit a insert to insert only n records at a time..)2)to use waitfor - which I did but did not fix the error.3)use bulk insert (in t-sql) - I dont know how to do this?As I see I am simply trying to move data from one table to another(ofcourse lots of data) in SQL Server 2000 and I dont see one simplesolution to the locking problem.any ideas on how best I can do this will save my day!thanks all.

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?
Msg 4863, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Bulk load data conversion error (truncation) for row 1, column 1 (ASXCode).
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.

Hey All,
Similar to a previous post (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=244646&SiteID=1), I am trying to import data into a SQL Table.
I am trying to program a small application that will import product data obtained through suppliers via CD-ROM. One supplier in particular uses Fixed width colums, and data looks like this:
Example of Data
0124015Apple Crate 32.12
0124016Bananna Box 12.56
0124017Mango Carton 15.98
0124018Seedless Watermelon 42.98
My Table would then have:
ProductID as int
Name as text
Cost as money
How would I go about extracting the data with an XML Format file? I am stumbling over how to tell it where to start picking up data for a specific column.
Is there any way that I could trim the Name column (i.e.: "Mango Carton " --> "Mango Carton")?
I don't know if it makes any difference, but I've been calling SQL from my code by doing this:
Code in C# Form
SqlConnection SqlConnection = new SqlConnection(global::SQLClients.Properties.Settings.Default.ClientPhonebookConnectionString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO PhonebookTable(Name, PhoneNumber) VALUES('" + txtName.Text.ToString() + "', '" + txtPhoneNumber.Text.ToString() + "')";
cmd.Connection = SqlConnection;
SqlConnection.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
SqlConnection.Close();
RefreshData();
I am running Visual Studio C# Express 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005.
Thanks for your time,
Hayden.

Hi folks,
I have a small problem - I am unable to load data from a .csv file into a table in SQL Server. Here is the command I am running:
BULK INSERT CCSProgramParticipation FROM 'c: est.csv'
WITH (
DATAFILETYPE = 'char',
FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
ROWTERMINATOR = ''
)
Data in test.csv is the following format: (date fields can be blank)
NY580232,0,6/30/2006,3567,396,7/1/2005,9/9/2005
NY580232,0,6/30/2006,14850,462,12/12/2005,
....
....
What I see is the data does get loaded; however, data from the following row is getting inserted in the last field of a particular row (previous row) - it seems like the rowterminator is being ignored.
Has anyone encountered this issue? Please let me know your thoughts on this.
Thanks so much!

I am bulk inserting from a csv file using
BULK INSERT testTable
FROM 'C:UsersRobsDocumentsSoccer2011-2012SC1.csv'
WITH
(
FIRSTROW=2,
FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
ROWTERMINATOR = '
',
)
Works fine. Most of my csv files have the same number of columns, but some have 4 less. The files contain the same column headings as the full size ones(only 4 less). Is there a way when bulk inserting for sql to either skip these, or ignore the error.

Hi there,I have some text files saved using a UTF-8 encoding. The "BULK INSERT"statment in Sql Server 2000 is failing with a column length error. Savingthe file as ASCII removes the problem. However, I would like to import filesin UTF-8 format. I understand that the BCP tool, when used from the commandline, can take an "-F UTF8" argument, which allows it to work. Can this bedone from the SQL> prompt with the BULK INSERT statement?Cheers,Tobin

Hi ,
I have imported an event log file from an NT server in a test database . The table has been created automatically with some 10 columns as Col001...Col002 ...and so on till Col0010 .
Now i want to copy the data of the event logs to specific columns . So i created a table with name such as Evnt , date , time , server and evntdescription so that whenever i can execute a simple query like
Select * from tablename where type = 'app' , Server = 'test1 ' .
so that i get all the results for that server 'test1 with type 'application' .
The problem is how do i insert that event log file into the table which i have created with different columns names . So that the data with 'App' should go to column 'type , data with server name should go to the column name server and so on ..
I tried all the was but could not succeed . Can i get some help in this regard please through some stored procedures or through DTS , if its possible .
The server is SQL Server 2000 with SP 1.
Many thanks
Anita .

I want to use the bulk insert statement to insert data from a text file that contains more columns than the target sql table does. I am using SQL 7.0.
I am using a format file, but I can't work out how to achieve the above. SQL books online (and the msdn website) do not describe how to do this, but it is intimated that it can be done.
Any suggestions ?
Regards,
Stuart.

Hi All,
I have a file that has fixed row size of 148 and fixed column size, but the file has no end of line character. I know it is wierd but a client has made the file and refuses to change the format. So I am stuck with reading it the way it is.
In Enterprise Manager, I used the Import/Export wizard and I specified fixed length and it let me specify 148 as the lenght of each line. Then it recognized the file and I was able to read it in.
I saved the DTS package and I can run it over and over again using dtsrun. However I want to do the same thing using Bulk Insert. How do you specify fixed row length for Bulk insert and how do you give it individual column lengths?
Thanks,
Shab

SQL Server 2K
OK, I'm probably being a bone-head here and am clearly in over my head but how do you (or can you?) set up a Bulk Insert to take a dynamic path/file name?
What I want to do is pass in the path and file name from an external process to a stored procedure that bulk inserts the content of the file and then does some other routines on it. I haven't had any luck getting Bulk Insert to run if the path/file name is not hard-coded in the sproc as a string.
The point is to have a master routine that can exercise the process for several different customers and use meta data in a table to inform what file to bulk insert.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

i have a log file, i am trying to import data from it to SQL in order to analyze the data (able to query on the data), however that task seems impossible.
In fact the log file contains a varying number of column fields (error logged, various types of data logged demand varying number of columns). More than that the fields themself are hard to extract.
An example of data in my log is:xxxxxxxx is some alphanumeric chars2008-01-09 20:16:05,4784E36F.req,10.1.1.26,xxxxxxxxx,OK -- SMPP - xxxxxxx:xxxxx,Sender=xxxx;SMSCMsgId=2028eecc;Binary=1;DCS=8;Data=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx...2008-01-09 20:16:05,4784E338.req,10.1.1.26,xxxxxxxx,Retry Pending - ERROR: Timeout waiting for response from server or lost connection -- SMPP - xxxxxxxxxxx:xxxxx,Sender=xxxxx........
I may use regular expressions to extract the data, and maybe use a regular INSERT to put in the right table. Thus it seems like making a manual Bulk Insert(yeah and it may take much more time), it seems strange, can i use somehow some additional tool (in SQL package or external), to assist somehow.
Thanks and sorry if this is double posted !

Hello, I am doing a bulk insert using a XML Format file from a csv file. Most everything works just fine, but my delimiter is a , the problem is one of the column sets sometimes contains a , within "" like this:
value1,"value,2",value3
So when I do my insert it is distorting the column values because unlike excel it is not ignoring the comma within the quotes. Is there any way to set an attribute within the format file to prevent this from happening?

Hi,
I have a text file with a single column that i need to bulk insert into a table with 2 colums - an ID (with identity turned on) and col2
my text file looks like:
row1
row2
row3
...
row10
so my bulk insert i have like this:
BULK INSERT test FROM 'd: estBig.txt'
WITH (
DATAFILETYPE = 'char',
FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
ROWTERMINATOR = '
'
)
but i get the error:
Server: Msg 4866, Level 17, State 66, Line 1
Bulk Insert fails. Column is too long in the data file for row 1, column 1. Make sure the field terminator and row terminator are specified correctly.
However, as you can see from the text file, there is only one column, so i dont have any field terminators.
Any ideas how to make this work?
Thanks.

Hi, I´m trying to bulk insert files that looks like this:
aaaa,bbb,dddd,
ccc,dfd,tghj,
each file can have up to 10 data fileds per line, and each file will have same number of data fileds in particular file, let´s say 3 like above. Second file could have let´s say 10 and that is maximum.
I read the file and insert data with fieldterminator in temp table from witch I insert data to other tables regarding some parameters inside.
Now problem is:
Msg 4832, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Bulk load: An unexpected end of file was encountered in the data file.
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".
That is because I´m trying to insert 3 fields of data in temporary table which is made of 10 columns (It have to be 10 because next file could have 10 fileds of data). If the temp table has same number of columns like text file has data fields than it works.
What is solution for this problem?
Can I bulk insert NULL in columns for which I don't have data?
I can also import each line of text file to one column (with delimiter inside) but than I don´t know how to insert that data to correct tables or even to one table but to seperate data fields to columns with fieldterminator which is , in this case.
I'm new to SQL and I would apriciate any help.
Thank you

Using BCP or BULK INSERT you can specify an Error File (-e and ERRORFILE). However this does not seem to be exposed in SSIS via the Bulk Insert Task.
Does anyone know if I'm missing something and the Property is called something else or if can be accessed via script?
Cheers,

hi
with my ssis-package i have to read several flatfiles. this files are stored in different folders on a unix machine. in my loop-task i have first a script, that checks whether the file exists. it does, so i set the path to a variable. in the connection-manager for the flat-file i have set source for the file to that variable. the bulk-insert-task starts, read the file and everithing is cool. but, sometimes, the package fails with this message:
[Bulk Insert Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message:
"Cannot bulk load because the file "\Owpu0kas 0 0 5
eceivedw000005.090"
could not be opened. Operating system error code 53(error not found)."
i stop the degugging-mode, restart debuging and what happens? it runs ... maybe for the next one, two or three files and the error comes again, but never on the same file. i'm going crazy, what can i do?
thanks for your help.

Msg 4862, Level 16, State 1, Server PATH-SQLDEV, Line 2
Cannot bulk load because the file "c:DATABATCHBCPFormat.fmt" could not be read. Operating system error code (null).
Above is the error I get. The problem is I do not know what is causing this error. It occurs when I attempt to use SQLCMD with bulk insert.
I am using SQLserver 2005 and I have a similar set up in a test database that works, why this format file does not is beyond me, but my experience is when the format file has an error in it, such as a mispelled datatype or a incorrect column number, the error will zero in on that, rather then declare the entire file unreadable. Furthermore if I go into the file, change something so where it is incorrect (like a column number) it will zero in on that error. So I know that the format file can be read. If I knew what this error was all about I would at least know where to begin in fixing it. I have also tried using a very small sample file for the data being inserted. Same error.
Please help
