I have been trying to load a delimited data file to SQL Server. I
have tried both of the options that are available: each time, I get
different errors. This is on an eval version of SQL Server 2K, with
SP 3a on a Windows XP box.
First, I tried to load the data with Bulk Insert. This didn't go
through as it requires sysadmin/bulkadmin privileges. I am the only
person using the SQL Server, and I wanted to grant myself those
privileges. But I cannot find them using the Enterprise Manager. All
I see is privileges like datareader, datawriter, etc.
Then I tried to use bcp. This doesn't seem to work either as it gives
the following error:
ERROR: DB Code: (CR001): SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 17
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does
not exist or access denied.
SQLState = 01000, NativeError = 53
Warning = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen
(Connect()).
child process exited abnormally
Anybody with a solution to make this work? For reference, I am using
the following bcp command. I can login to the database using the
server/user/password combination with no problem:
C:/Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/80/Tools/Binn/bcp.exe
testUser.products
IN
"C:/Documents and Settings/testUser/products.txt"
-f "C:/Documents and Settings/testUser/prodformat.txt"
-t "-" -r "
"
-S"sqlserver_eval" -U"testUser" -P"password" -R -k -h TABLOCK
I have a situation. The userID running the Stored Proc is assigned Bulk-Admin privileges . Program creates a temp# table and bulk inserts a text file. The process runs fine running as Sysadmin . However , it fails if run with that UserID with following error
"The current user is not the database or object owner of table '#Temp'. Cannot perform SET operation."
Hi, I am tryin to run the store procedure which has bulk insert command.when i run the code,it says you don't have permission to use bulk insert command. This query/storeprocedure is running succesfully in the backend(sqlserver2000). solution is only user in Bulkadmin role has permission for bulk insert .But i don't know how to create one and use it in asp.net. Can anyone help me in this. ..Here is the code. string conn_string1 =@"Data Source=SENTHILTEST;Initial Catalog=EMPLOYEE;Integrated Security=SSPI"; SqlConnection objconn1= new SqlConnection(conn_string1); objconn1.Open(); SqlCommand command1=new SqlCommand("bulkinsert",objconn1); command1.CommandType=CommandType.StoredProcedure; command1.ExecuteNonQuery(); Response.Write("Stored procedure excecuted"); objconn1.Close(); thanks, kar
Hi guys, I am importing a file using the Bulk Insert command, but the fieldterminator is not working for me. My data: “lname�, “fname�, “addr�, “phone�, “lang�
My command: BULK INSERT dbo.zGE_RCF_POS_IMPORT FROM 'E:operationsdatafilesGEFTPINGE_RCF_POS_EXPORT.txt' WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = '","') The quote are removed from every field except the first quote in front of lname and the trailing quote behind lang. I tried changing the command to: BULK INSERT dbo.zGE_RCF_POS_IMPORT FROM 'E:operationsdatafilesGEFTPINGE_RCF_POS_EXPORT.txt' WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = '"') But ran into field conversion problems, I also tried defining two fieldterminators got a syntax error. How can I get the desired results of removing all dbl quotes? Or do I have to write something to follow the Bulk Insert to remove the leading and trailing quotes?
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.
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!
I 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
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. Paul
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. Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".
BULK INSERTtbl_ASX_Data_temp FROM 'M:DataASXImportTest.txt' WITH (FORMATFILE='M:DataASXSQLFormatImport.Fmt')
bcp "viewname" queryout filename.txt -c -T (filename and viewname changed for security purposes) errors with Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1Incorrect syntax near 'queryout'. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Maybe there's a better way to export data from a view to a .csv file? TIA,Krista
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
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.
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
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.
hi friends i am trying for bulk insert using SQL server 2000using this codebulk insert xyzfrom 'D:authors.txt'WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = ',') but it gve me error saying thatCould not bulk insert because file 'D:authors.txt' could not be opened. Operating system error code 21(error not found). i check file securityit has given full control to the file can any one give me idea about Operating System error code 21(error not found) thanks
Hi,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??
hi friends i am using bulk insert cmd using my table name but i am facing error.....SO IS IT POSSIBLE TO USE BULK INSERT WITH TEMPRARY TABLE VARIABLE PLZ HELP ME
I want to move data from a text file to a SQL table. After DTS creates the table, does it use Bulk Insert to copy the data from the file to the table, or BCP?
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.
We'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.
