Bulk Insert Fails. Column Is Too Long In The Data File
Jun 27, 2006
Hi,
for testing purposes I'm inserting a flat file into a sql-server table using BULK INSERT unsig the following code:
BULK INSERT rsk_staging
FROM 'c: empulk
sk.txt'
WITH (
FIELDTERMINATOR = '
',
ROWTERMINATOR = '
',
CODEPAGE = 'RAW',
DATAFILETYPE = 'char',
BATCHSIZE = 100000,
ROWS_PER_BATCH = 1925604,
TABLOCK
)
I have two versions of "rsk.txt" one with 1.9mill rows and one with the first 2000 rows only. The files have one column only with 115 characters that I'll split in to several columns later using SUBSTRING. The one with 2000 rows fires in to the database with no problems whatsoever using this exact code, the other one throws the following 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.
How can I resolve this problem?
EDIT: I tried several different row- and fieldterminators but this exact one works for the small data-file so I assume it should also work for the large one...the large one is however copyed directly using binary ftp from a unix-filesystem and the small one is manually copied into a new txt-file using UltraEdit.

Hello All,
I'm having a problem doing a bulk insert on a tab delimited text file into mssql 2005 using either bulk insert or bcp.
When using the following bulk insert command I get the "The column is too long in the data file for row 1, column 2" error.
I have tried
Code Snippet
BULK
INSERT
test.dbo.customerdefinition
FROM
'data_file.txt'
WITH
(
FORMATFILE = 'format_file.txt',
FIELDTERMINATOR = ' ',
ROWTERMINATOR = 'n',
KEEPIDENTITY
)
The data file only has data for the first 10 columns of a table with over 100 columns.
First 10 table columns have the format of
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[CustomerDefinition](
[Rowid] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT FOR REPLICATION NOT NULL,
[CustomerId] [varchar](15) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL,
[Name] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[Addr1] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[Addr2] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[Addr3] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,

[Country] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL
CONSTRAINT [PK_CustomerDefinition] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
The data-file looks like this (it is tab delimited):
1 1 BEN ONE BENVENUTO 1 BENVENUTO ST. CLAIR & AVENUE ROAD TORONTO ON
2 1 BIGGIN DDP PARTNERSHIP 1 BIGGIN LTD. 1 BIGGIN COURT NORTH YORK ON

10 100 GOWAN KANCO - 100 GOWAN LTD. 100 GOWAN AVENUE PAPE & DANFORTH EAST YORK ON
The format-file looks like this:

2 SQLCHAR 2 15 " " 2 CustomerId SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

10 SQLCHAR 2 50 " " 10 Country SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
I can't for the life of me understand what I'm doing wrong but if someone can help me out here it would be greatly appreciated.

I am using SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2012. I have a very simple SSIS package with a Data Flow task that exports from an OLE DB Source to a tab-delimited unicode Flat File Destination and a Bulk Insert task that loads from the file. Both the Flat File Destination and Bulk Import are using the same code page. The Bulk Insert task is using the wide char format to read from the file. The process works fine with nvarchar and int columns, but when I add a unique identifier column it fails with "type mismatch or invalid character for the specified code page".

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,
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 have a problem with BULK INSERT. I created the following table:
Code Snippetcreate table Test
(id char(4), name nvarchar(16), last char(1))
I am trying to bulk insert data from ASCII (not unicode) file with only two rows:
0011First name
0018Second name
Since it is a fixed length file, I am using the following format file:
Code Snippet
8.0
3
1 SQLCHAR 0 4 "" 1 ID HEBREW_CI_AS
2 SQLCHAR 0 16 "" 2 NAME HEBREW_CI_AS
3 SQLCHAR 0 0 "
" 3 Last HEBREW_CI_AS
With bcp utility everything works just fine!
Code Snippet
bcp Demo.dbo.test in c: est -T -f c: est.fmt
But when I use BULK INSERT in the following form:
Code Snippet
BULK INSERT Test FROM 'c:Test'
WITH
(
FORMATFILE='c:Test.fmt',
CODEPAGE='OEM'
);
I am getting error
Server: Msg 4863, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Bulk insert data conversion error (truncation) for row 1, column 2 (name).
Now, one interesting thing: if I change the name field from nvarchar to varchar, it is working with BULK INSERT as well.
Can anybody explain what is going on here?
I am using MS SQL 2000 and MSDE
Thanks in advance,
Eugene.

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

Can we bulk insert only the desired column from a flat file to a table?
I am using SSIS to bulk insert from a file with more than 200 columns. I am trying to find a way I can bulk insert them to multiples table through SSIS.
The one way I can think is pre map the columns from the file to the destination tables. Build numerous Bulk Insert tasks to achieve that. But not sure if SSIS will let me do that.

Get error:
Msg 4823, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Cannot bulk load. Invalid column number in the format file "R:cfgexample.fmt".
I changed some things as:
used ";" and "," as column delimiter

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.

Here is the situation, please let me know if you have any tips:..TXT files in a share at \fooSPROCS run daily parses of many things, including data on that share. Theother day, we encountered rows in the TXT files which looked like:column1Row1data,column2Row1datacolumn1Row2data,column2Row2data...etc..However, column2 was about 6000 bytes of unicode. We are bulk insertinginto a table specifying nvarchar(4000). When it encounters high unicoderows, it throws a truncation error (16).We really need information contained in the first 200 bytes of the string incolumn2. However, the errors are causing the calling SPROC to abort.Please let me know if you have any suggestions on workarounds for thissituation. Ideally, we would only Bulk Insert a sub-section of column2 ifpossible.Thanks!/Ty

The process is as follow,
The destination table is truncated and indexes are dropped before loading and after data being inserted we re-create the indexes.
Before this, a view extracts data from more than 22 tables from a staging database and tries to insert this data in the destination table.
it used to take 12-15 mins, but since yesterday loading one particular table never completes. While loading, the database is set to Simple recovery. There are no blocking. It's part of a daily batch thats loads 6 GB of data everyday. But while loading on particular table it's just keep running for hours. I tried rebuilding the indexes and re-starting the SQL Server but of no use.
Any help is much appreciated as this production batch job.
Thanks in advance.

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

Hey all
I have a bulk insert situation that would be nice to be able to pull off. I have a flat file with 46 columns that are to go into a table. The table, I want to have a 47th column to be updated later on by means of a stored proc saying if the import into the system was sucessful or not. I have the rowterminator set as '"' thinking that would tell SQL to begin on the next row, leaving the importstatus column null but i still receive an error.
First of all, is this idea possible within this insert statement. Secondly, if so, what would be the syntax to tell the insert statement to skip that particular column. It is the last column listed in the table so it just needs to start on the next row after it inserts the last bit of data in the flatfile.
If this is not possible, is it possible to bulk insert into a temp table?
Thanks

I am running a set of SQL statements on a SQL server, to insert flat file data into a SQL table. The flat file is already FTP'ed to the SQL server. I seem to be getting an error, which is possibly pointing to a permissions issue
The statements:
BULK INSERT [Jedox_prod].[dbo].[B_BP_Customer]
FROM 'c:jedox_dailyjdcom4401.txt'
WITH
(
FIRSTROW = 2,
MAXERRORS = 0,
FIELDTERMINATOR = '|',

Cannot bulk load because the file "c:jedox_dailyjdcom4401.txt" could not be opened. Operating system error code 3(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 1815)

Now, I want to make my own data file just like made by bcp above. Although I could make file of 'char' type, 'native' type file is needed for performance and other reasons. And the format file should not be used.

Hi,
I have a data file and the contents of it are as follows
2 -- This is the header indicating the no of records in my files
1001|s1
1006|s2
The content of format file is as follows. This is to skip first column of the all the rows and get only Subs (i.e s1 and s2 )
9.0
2
1 SQLCHAR 0 100 "|" 0 ID ""
2 SQLCHAR 0 100 "
" 1 Subs ""
Here is my query to get all the Subs from my data file
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET( BULK 'datafile.txt',
FORMATFILE = 'FormatFile.fmt',
FIRSTROW = 2 ) AS a
But this query retuns only s2 where i was expeting s1 and s2. The reason being is that the firts row i.e header doesn't follow the format
Can any one please let me know how to skip the first line in the data file and get the result as required

Hello dbforums,
I are using a BULK INSERT to insert the data from a ascii file to a sql table. The table has a ProductInstanceId column that exists in the tables but does not exist in the ascii DICast data. I am setting the ProductInstanceId to a Guid that will be used for Metrics. I would like to create the Guid in C++ and then set it somehow during the BULK INSERT DICastRaw1hr and DICastRaw6hr. I am calling the BULK INSERT from C++/ADO. I do not see how you can set a static data in the BULK INSERT for a column that exists in the table but does not the source data ... seems there should be a way to do this with the format file?
The other way to do this is with a TRIGGER. I have the TRIGGER below. Prior to the calling the BULK INSERT using ADO I will use ADO to ALTER the TRIGGER with the new Guid. When the BULK INSERT runs the ProductInstanceId will be populated with the new Guid.
ALTER TRIGGER DICastRaw1hrInsertGuid
ON Alphanumericdata.dbo.DICastRaw1hr
FOR INSERT AS UPDATE dbo.DICastRaw1hr SET ProductInstanceId = '4f9a44eb-092b-445b-a224-cc7cdd207092'
WHERE modelrundatetime = (select max(modelrundatetime) from Alphanumericdata.dbo.DICastraw1hr(NOLOCK))
More Questions:
- The Trigger is slow. The Bulk Insert without the Trigger runs in about 10 sec ... with the Trigger in about 40 sec. I tried to use the sql code below in the TRigger but it was only doing the UPDATE on the last row. The TRIGGER must run after the BULK INSERT is complete. Now I am using the select (bad). Any comments ...
ALTER TRIGGER DICastRaw1hrInsertDate
ON Alphanumericdata.dbo.DICastRaw1hr
FOR INSERT
AS
DECLARE @ID as integer
SELECT @ID = i.recordid from inserted i
UPDATE dbo.DICastRaw1hr SET ProductInstanceId = '4f9a44eb-092b-445b-a224-cc7cdd207092'
WHERE recordid = @ID
- I understand that I could set the Guid in the Default Value part of the table definition using the NEWID() function. I need the Guid to be the same for all the rows that are inserted during the BULK INSERT (all have the same modelrundatetime) ... how would I do this?
Thanks,
Chris

I am running Microsoft SQL Server 2012 SP on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1 box. The SQL Server service is running as a simple windows domain user (nothing special, no admin rights, etc.) I am having some issues with using Bulk Insert when the data file is on a network share when using Windows Authentication. What is known is that the SQL Server service account has access to the network resource, which is shown by logging into SQL Server with a SQL account and doing the Bulk Insert. I also have rights to the files on the share, as shown by the fact that I put the files there. My SQL is in the form of:
Bulk Insert [table name] From '[server][share][filename]' With (FirstRow = 2, FormatFile='FormatFile.xml')
Now, when connecting to SQL Server with Windows Authentication and running the Bulk Insert I get the following error:
Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 Cannot bulk load because the file "[server][share][filename]" could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.).
I found this snip at
BULK INSERT (Transact-SQL)Security Account Delegation (Impersonation), which says, in part (emphasis mine):
To resolve this error [4861], use SQL Server Authentication and specify a SQL Server login that uses the security profile of the SQL Server process account, or configure Windows to enable security account delegation. For information about how to enable a user account to be trusted for delegation.
How to Configure the Server to be Trusted for Delegation, and we tried the unconstrained delegation and I rebooted the SQL server, but it still does not work. Later we tried constrained delegation and it still does not work.
I have verified the SPNs:
C:>setspn adsvc_sqlRegistered ServicePrincipalNames for CN=SVC_SQL,OU=Service Accounts,OU=Users,OU=ad domain,DC=ad,DC=local: MSSQLSvc/SQLQA.ad.local:1433 MSSQLSvc/SQLDev.ad.local:1433 MSSQLSvc/SQLQA.ad.local MSSQLSvc/SQLDev.ad.local
I have verified that my SQL connection is TCP and I am getting/using a Kerberos security token.
C:>sqlcmd -S tcp:SQLQA.ad.local,1433 -E1> Select dec.net_transport, dec.auth_scheme From sys.dm_exec_connections As dec Where session_id = @@Spid;2>
gonet_transport auth_scheme------------- -----------TCP KERBEROS(1 rows affected)1>
If I move the source file to a local drive (on the SQL server), all works fine, but I must be able to read from a file share?

Hi
I have a page that bulkinsert data to my sql server, I build up the bulk insert part like this....
1 sb.Append("Exec p_BulkInsertPDI '<ROOT><PROT>")
2
3 sb.Append("<PDI NID=""" & HiddenField1.Value & """ AID=""" & HiddenField1a.Value & """ MID="" GID="" UID=""" & UserID & """/>")
4
5 sb.Append("</PROT></ROOT>'")The problem I have here is that sometimes the AID value doesn't have any value beacuse on the previous page haven't sent any value to that hiddenfield. So when I try to run this, I get a error message like this... "Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value 'AID=' to data type int".It would be the best if I could insert Null values if no value have been provided. Is this possible to do? Regards

I'm setting up a new 2005 server and bulk insert from a client workstation (using windows authentication) is failing with:
Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot bulk load because the file "\FILESERVERNAMEsharedfolderfilename.txt" could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.).
Here's my BULK INSERT statement (though I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with it):
BULK INSERT #FIRSTROW FROM '\FILESERVERNAMEsharedfolderfilename.txt'
WITH (
DATAFILETYPE = 'char',
ROWTERMINATOR = '',
LASTROW = 1
)
If I run the same transact SQL when remote desktopped into the new server (under the same login as that used in the client workstation), it imports the file without errors.
If I use the sa client login from the client workstation (sql server authentication) the bulk insert succeeds.
My old SQL 2000 server lets me bulk insert the file without errors even from my client workstations using windows authentication.
I have followed the instructions on this site: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=928173&SiteID=1
, but still no luck and same error.
I'm pretty sure it is being caused by the increased constraints on bulk insert in 2005. Hoping someone can help. The more specific the better. If you need more info, let me know.
Oh and I've also made sure that the SQL service uses a domain logon account rather than the local system account (this would work on the 2000 server, but not 2005).
Note that the file server (source file resides there) is a DIFFERENT machine than the 2005 SQL server. If I move the source file to the sql server machine the error goes away (not a preferred solution though).
I'm almost positive that what I need to do is make sure that the SQL server is setup for delegation when a windows authenticated user attempts to bulk load a file from a second server.
Can someone provide instructions?
Thanks!

"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'm importing a large csv file two different ways - one with Bulk Import Task and the other way with the Data Flow Task (flat file source -> OLE DB destination).
With the Bulk Import Task I'm putting all the csv rows in one column. With the Data Flow Task I'm mapping each csv value to it's own column in the SQL table.
I used two different flat file sources and got the following:
Flat file 1: Bulk Import Task = 12,649,499 rows; Data Flow Task = 4,215,817 rows
Flat file 2: Bulk Import Task = 3,403,254 rows; Data Flow Task = 1,134,359 rows
Anyone have any guess as to why this is happening?

Hi,
I am new to MS DTS and i am using MS SQL 2000 as my database. I am trying to do a Bulk insert using MS DTS package. The package is trying to load data from Text file to a SQL 2000 table. When runninh the package i am getting an error saying that 1 task failed during execution and the task is shown in red colour indicating that the task has failed. Now when i get the details of the error it shows the follows:
Could not bulk insert because the file D:DtsFile.txt could not be opened. Operation system error code: 21 (The device is not ready).
Please help me in solving this problem, if any one has got this error and resolved or have any idea of the error please help. :)
Regards,
Rajeev Prabhu

I need to import a CSV file to a table and the CSV has an Address field that has a carriage return in it.
Example:
123 Main St.
Anywhere, CO, 99999
I'm working in Windows with SQL Server 2008. What can I do to the CSV file or from within SQL Managment Studio to get the BULK INSERT to work?
Here's my query:
BULK INSERT Contact
From 'C:UsersBrianDownloadsImport-FilteredContact9c.csv'
WITH
(
FIELDTERMINATOR = '|',
ROWTERMINATOR = '
'
)

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 ?

We are trying to import data into SQL Server 2005 from MySQL 5.0.x using DTS Wizard via MySQLOLE DB Provider developed by Cherry City Software .
We can read BLOB data from MySQL via ADO 2.7 and ADO.NET 2.0. We can also use DTS Wizard to read the data on Preview. For the test, we defined a table as tBlob (lText VARCHAR(9000)) and inserted one record with a few characters. However, DTS Wizard always fails at the executing step with the following error messages:
Error 0xc0202009: Data Flow Task: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc0208265: Data Flow Task: Failed to retrieve long data for column "lText".
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc020901c: Data Flow Task: There was an error with output column "lText" (17) on output "OLE DB Source Output" (11). The column status returned was: "DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE".
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc0209029: Data Flow Task: The "output column "lText" (17)" failed because error code 0xC0209071 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "lText" (17)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc0047038: Data Flow Task: The PrimeOutput method on component "Source - tblob" (1) returned error code 0xC0209029. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc0047021: Data Flow Task: Thread "SourceThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0047038.
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc0047039: Data Flow Task: Thread "WorkThread0" received a shutdown signal and is terminating. The user requested a shutdown, or an error in another thread is causing the pipeline to shutdown.
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc0047021: Data Flow Task: Thread "WorkThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0047039.
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
This could be a defect in the DTS Wizard. How do we workaround this problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
