Bulk Import Errors - Dbl Quotes Maybe Problem
Mar 18, 2008
Hi Guys,I’m trying to do a Bulk Insert but I am receiving the following error:
conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 2, column 8 (Phone).Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 1, column 8 (Phone).".
Task failed: dbo.tblNoName
The data is comma delimited which I stipulated in my Import Connection section. But the data also has quotes around it (ie. The field Lname nvarchar (17) = “Brown� and the field phone nvarchar (10) = “12345678921�. Is there a way to ignore the quotes or do I have to remove them before I import?
Or is my problem something else all together?
The connection is solid;
Format = “Specify�
RowDelimiter = {CR}{LF}
columnDelimiter = Comma {,}
No other options are set.
The data looks like:
"tstLName","tstFname","000 N Tst DR","IDAHO sp","ID","00000000",
Thank you,

Hi,
I want to import in a table a file like this one, with a comma separator:
France, 1 , 1
"Congo,Démocratique", 1,2
Is there any options for Bulk Insert like this in Sybase :
LOAD [ INTO ] TABLE [ owner ].table-name [( column-name , ... )]
FROM 'filename -string '
[ load-option ... ]
Parameters
load-option :
CHECK CONSTRAINTS { ON | OFF }
| DEFAULTS { ON | OFF }
| DELIMITED BY string
| ESCAPE CHARACTER character
| ESCAPES { ON | OFF }
| FORMAT ASCII
| QUOTES { ON | OFF }
| STRIP { ON | OFF }
| WITH CHECKPOINT { ON | OFF }
or should we change the pre processing of our log files ??
Thanks to your answers
Axel

Hi,
I have a csv file with 1.8 million records. Few of the text columns in each row has commas(,) in them and hence those columns are enclosed by " ".
An example record would look like:
123,abc,"abc, city, state",222,...
Now, the 3rd column should be read as: abc, city, state
But, it is reading ("abc) into 3rd column, and (city) into 4th column and (state") into 4th column resulting in data errors.
Is there a way to specify that fields are optionally enclosed by " as we do in Oracle?
Thanks,
Anil

Hello!
I have a CSV file that encloses all the data fields with quotation marks. Here is a sample:
"08/01/2007","3","021200012","123","0.03"
Is there any way in SSIS that I can tell the Flat File wizard to ignore the quotation marks? I don't want to import the quotes in the database since that will really mess up other applications that need to use the data.
Thanks in advance,
Harry

I've got a flat file data source, that is to large to edit with most Windows apps on my server that contains both single and double quote characters that I need to load in a varchar column.
So I attempted to do it with a Replace in data transformation, but I can't get SSIS to allow me to use a variable or pair of single or double quotes within the replace.
If I don't replace the single quote characters with a pair then the records containing these characters all end up in my failed records output file.
Here are 5 example property legal descriptions from my FLAT FILE data source:
COM 441'6" N OF SW/C OF NW4 OF SEC 22-29-20 ELY1340' N200' CROSSING THE CNTR OF TR AT 100 WLY1240' S200' TO POB CONTAINING 6 3/10 ACRE MOL

Hi all!!
I have a stored procedure that dynamically bulk loads several tables from several text files. If I encounter an error bulk loading a table in the stored procedure, all I get is the last error code produced, but if I run the actual bulk load commands through SQL Management Studio, it gives much more usable errors, which can include the column that failed to load. We have tables that exceed 150 columns (don't ask), and having this information cuts troubleshooting load errors from hours down to minutes. Onto my question..., is there any way to capture all of the errors produced by the bulk load from within a stored procedure (see examples below)?
Running this...
BULK INSERT Customers
FROM 'c: estcustomers.txt'
WITH (TabLock, MaxErrors = 0, ErrorFile = 'c: estcustomers.txt.err')
Produces this (notice column name at the end of the first error)...
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 1 (CustId).
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)".
Running this (similar to code in my stored procedure)...
BEGIN TRY
BULK INSERT Customers
FROM 'c: estcustomers.txt'
WITH (TabLock, MaxErrors = 0, ErrorFile = 'c: estcustomers.txt.err')
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
SELECT
ERROR_NUMBER() AS ErrorNumber,
ERROR_SEVERITY() AS ErrorSeverity,
ERROR_STATE() AS ErrorState,
ERROR_PROCEDURE() AS ErrorProcedure,
ERROR_LINE() AS ErrorLine,
ERROR_MESSAGE() AS ErrorMessage;
END CATCH
Produces something similar to this (which is useless)...
...Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".

As part of a c# program, utilizing .Net 2.0, I am calling a sproc via a SqlCommand to bulk load data from flat files to a various tables in a SQL Server 2005 database. We are using format files to do this, as all of the incoming flat files are fixed length. The sproc simply calls a T-SQL BULK INSERT statement, accepting the file name, format file name and the database table as input paramaters. As expected, this works most of the time, but periodically (to often for a production environment), the insert fails. The particular file to fail is essentially random and when I rerun the process, the insert completes successfully.
A sample of the error messages returned is as follows (@sql is the string executed):
Cannot bulk load. Invalid destination table column number for source column 1 in the format file "\RASDMNTTRAS_ROOTBCP_Format_FilesEMODT3.fmt".
Starting spRAS_BulkInsertData.
@sql = BULK INSERT Raser.dbo.EMODT3_Work FROM '\RASDMNTTRAS_ROOTAmeriHealthworkpdclmsemodt3.20060511.0915.txt.DATA' WITH (FORMATFILE = '\RASDMNTTRAS_ROOTBCP_Format_FilesEMODT3.fmt');
The format file for this particular example is as follows (I apologize for the length):

I have a text file with 10 columns that need to be imported into a table with 15 columns. The first 10 columns of the table correspond to the 10 columns of the text file.
When I run bcp, it fails. If I remove the last 5 columns from the table, it works fine. Any ideas on how I can leave the 5 columns in place?
I know that I can bcp, and then copy the data to another table, or use a DTS package to copy the data, but with the amount of data, I prefer bcp.
any help is appreciated.

Hi, don't know how to do this,
i've got 100+ .CSV text files (50mb in total, not each) i need to import into a SQL server database but don't know how.
i've tried hunting the web for some file concatenation program but just came against pay-for-me software, which didn't help.
any ideas?, would the BCP command do it?

I am trying to import a data file, which is tab delimited, using BULKINSERT. I have used BCP to create a format file, since the destinationtable has around 20 columns, but the data file has only three.Here's the problem: The columns I am trying to import comprise ID (anint identity column), Name (a varchar(255) column and Status (a smallint column). The data file contains identity values for the firstcolumn, so I am using the KEEPIDENTITY modifier. The Status column ismandatory, so I have set all rows in the data file to zero for thatcolumn. All of the other columns in the destination table either allowNULL or have default values. When I BULK INSERT the file using theformat file the identity columns are NOT imported and the Status columngets value 3376. The Name column is the only one that gets importedcorrectly. Here's the format file:8.031 SQLINT 0 4 " " 1 ID""2 SQLCHAR 0 0 " " 2 NameSQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS3 SQLSMALLINT 0 2 "" 4 Status""Sorry it's a bit messy.Where is 3376 coming from, and why are my identity values for column IDnot being imported?

Hi folks,
We are trying to import a flat file from a remote machine using the BULK INSERT command.
We have mapped the remote directory on the server.
we have used the following command.
Bulk insert table_name from my_servermy_sharefilename.txt
The error it gives is operating system Error number 5.( Access denied)
We are able to access the same file from the Windows explorer. We also refered the books online and as suggested,
have set the System Path to the same share name.
But it does not work.
Could you help us in this regard.
Thanks.

I have imported data in my table using the bulk insert command. I was supposed to fill specific columns of my table with that data so I used a view to put them in the column I wanted.
The table looks like this now:
id | id_param | val_param
+-----------+--------------+
1 | no_tel | 742062141
2 | sex | 1
3 | age | 23
4 | no_tel | 765234157
5 | sex | 1
6 | age | 34
When I want to select only the val_param that is=1 for the id_param=sex using this interogation:
select * from bd_rox where id_param='sex' and val_param='1'
it returns no value and I don`t know why.The wanted result should look like this:
id | id_param | val_param
+-----------+--------------+-
2 | sex | 1
5 | sex | 1

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 !

Let me preface this request with the info that I am relatively new to sql server so I may be asking something that is rally basic, and/or is not a best practice but here goes....I need to import data from an excel spreadsheet - one of the columns may be null or may have an integer value. I'd like to replace any null values with a 1 during import so that calculations can be done with the field once the data are imported. Can someone give me an example of how to do this? I had planned to use the bulk insert option but if there's a better way please let me know. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi!.
Is there something like BCP utility in SQL CE?
I need to import (pereodicaly) large ammount of data to my CE database. When tested import on network this take a lot of time. That's why decided to send raw data in ASCII files (because of small size) and to import files to CE database.
Certainly, it's not a problem to write those cli by myself, but it's interesting if someone already did this...
Thanks, Sandr

I have a client who we moved to our new web server and sql 2005 server from a sql 2000 server. I detached the database from sql 2000 and attached it to 2005. I also just set the compatibility to 2005 also.
My client used enterprise manager to import data into the tables on the sql 2000 just fine. Now using the SQL Management Studio, importing the same table produces all kinds of error, truncation errors, etc.
I have played with a bunch of the settings, did the "Suggest Types" options, but I still just get a bunch of errors. It seem to get it to work I have to go in on the columns of the flat file i am importing and change EVERY COLUMN field to match the table i'm importing too. That is just too much work.
I basically have a 2 record text file i easily imported to sql 2000. but importing into sql 2005 proves to be a *** load of work! Aren't products supposed to get better with future releases? What am I doing wrong?
I've tried the sql native client and the oledb sqlserver client and get the same results.
Any ideas?

The issue Ihave is the file contains a header - '1AMC_TO_Axiz' and a footer'1AMC_TO_Axiz2". Using a format file, I can get the import to work byediting the file and removing these two entries. Is there a way tosetup the format file to skip these two entries?

Hello - the very nature of this question seems to make no sense I know - but we received a huge volume of data (29 tables) in flat file format. I first imported them into MS Access because of its portability and it seemed to be more forgiving on imports. Now I have a complete MS Access DB with all tables, so I figured importing to SQL server should be a snap. However, on the import, I had 14 tables import successfully, and 15 failed!
Here is an example of one of the error messages I received:
Insert Error, Column 3 - status 6; Data Overflow...this was on a date/time field in access, and here is the data contained in the referenced row/column: "8/19/4999"
the year "4999" is obviously the problem (at least i think), and I have no idea why this successfully imported to MS Access, but not to SQL Server....
what i'd like to be able to do (not the best practice, i know) for now is ignore these types of errors - and just force SQL server to take the data straight from MS Access and replicate it. We received this data from a 3rd party, and there's no telling how many data entry errors like this could be in each table - many of the tables have over 500,000 rows, and i don't want to have to go through fixing each of these errors by hand...anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
I am trying to import from Excel file. So In between Excel file source and OLEDB destination I am using One Data Transformations to convert excel unicode characters to Sqlserver varchar.
Iam getting this following errors:
1)
Error: 0xC020901C at Data Flow Task, OLE DB Destination [382]: There was an error with input column "Copy of Zip" (615) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (395). The column status returned was: "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
Copy of zip is the Data Transformation column mapped Sqlserver Varcahr(200) column of Zipcode.
In excel file the Zip codes are like this:
78712-2344
78123
12345
87651-1234
2)
The column "State" needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection.
This is warning. This type of warnings are for all columns in excel file.
3) Intially I declared the Sqlserver table columns like this Varchar(100), then SSIS showing some warning like truncation of column State 255 characters to .. So I changed columns datatype from Varchar(100) to Varchar(500)? Why we need to change like this.
Thanks in advance

We have a sql 2005 x64 database (datawarehouse related), essentially a work area for us, that we truncate and re-populate via BCP weekly. (We don't backup the database at all) . From the perspective of data-import speed what is the best recovery model to use: Bulk-Logged or Simple? (I have read sql 2005 BOL and don't find it partcularly clear on this point.)

AdHoc Queries using OpenRowSet has been enabled and verified.
The SQL Server service is running using a domain user account with permissions to read the remote files. I have logged in locally to the SQL server and verified this. It still fails even if the SQL services are running using LocalSystem.
User on Workstation A is authenticated with Integrated security (SQL Admin) and has rights to read the XML files on ServerC.
WorkStationA = SQL2005 Mgt Studio running the query
ServerB = SQL2005 SP2
ServerC = XML data files
DECLARE @xml XML
SELECT @xml =CONVERT(XML, bulkcolumn, 2)
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK '\SERVERCSHAREPATHDATAFILE.XML', SINGLE_BLOB) AS x
SELECT @xml
Results: Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Cannot bulk load because the file "\SERVERCSHAREPATHDATAFILE.XML" could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access Denied).
The query fails when it is run from Workstation A connected to SQL ServerB querying data on ServerC via a UNC.
The query is succesful when it is run from the local SQL ServerB. The problem is with distributed queries.
The query is succesful when the XML files are local to the SQL server including referencing them via a local UNC
Thank you for any responses.

I€™m trying to copy data from production to my local machine using the SQL Server 2005 import and export wizard. It works fine if I select a small number of tables but throws errors
When there€™s a lot of tables. Have you ever experienced problems using it? Is there a better way to transfer the data?
the data source is SQL Server 2000 and the target is 2005. I have the optimize for many tables and transaction options selected
Here€™s the errors I get
Execute the transfer with the TransferProvider. (Error)

Recently installed Sql Server 2005 client and am now attempting to import data from a spreadsheet into an existing table. This works fine with Sql Server 2000 but I am getting data conversion truncation errors that stop the process when this runs using import utility in Sql Server 2005.
Any help would be appreciated.

It seems to me that files created on Unix machines with line terminator , or chr(10), cannot be imported using the Bulk Insert statement. Is this a bug, or an oversight by Microsoft? Does this mean that unless one replaces all with
, there is no way to use Bulk Insert to import Unix files? This is a very strange behavior by MSSQL. Even lessor programs such as Excel and Word automatically recognize chr(10) as a line termination character. Am I missing something, or is this just the way MSSQL is?

Hi,
Iam trying to import data from a csv file into my table in SQL Server 2000. My table is called as temp_table and consists of 3 fields.
column datatype
-------- -----------
program nvarchar(20)
description nvarchar(50)
pId int
pId has been set to primary key with auto_increment.
My csv file has 2 columns of data and it looks like follows:
program, description
"prog1", "this is program1"
"prog2", "this is program2"
"prog3", "this is program3"
Now i use BULK INSERT like this
"BULK INSERT ord_programs FROM 'C:datafile.csv' WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR=',', ROWTERMINATOR='', FIRSTROW=2)"
to import data into my table in SQL server and it gives me this error
"Bulk insert data conversion error (type mismatch) for row 2, column 3 (pId)"
I guess i have to use fileformat or something since i dont have anything for pId field in the csv file to make it work...
Please help me out guys and please post a snippet of code if you have.
Thank You.

I have a record in an Excel format (Excel 2010) and I would like to bulk import that into SQL Server 2008 and also while importing, SQL Server will automatically create a new table based on the header fields or row of the source file.
I am not sure if SQL Server 2008 has this capabilities.

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 ?
