Bulk Insert Skips Rows

Dec 6, 2007

Hi Guys,

My little bulk insert is only bringing every second row of a CSV file. this is not good as i need every row.

My SQLcommand is thus.

InsertCommand="BULK INSERT TBL_Unitel_services FROM 'C:/webroot/servicedesk/csvs_Services/csv.csv' WITH (FIRSTROW = 1, FIELDTERMINATOR = ',', ROWTERMINATOR = '
', MAXERRORS = 0) "

BULK INSERT Inserts 2 Rows

May 15, 2008

Greetings

Got bulk insert thing going real nice thanks to your feedback! But now I notice that the BULK INSERT creates 2 identical rows while the flat file has the column headers and then corresponding row, just one row.
Why would it do that. Interestingly if the data file and format file are residing on a shared folder on SQL 2005, and I ran the BULK INSERT from studio it only inserts one row. But when I do BULK INSERT via user interface it creates 2 rows. What is going here.

BULK INSERT - MISSING ROWS

Aug 7, 2006

Hello


Iam using:

Microsoft SQL Server  2000 - 8.00.2039 (Intel X86)   May  3 2005 23:18:38  
Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation 
Desktop Engine on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)

I am using BULK INSERT to import some pipe-delimited flat files into a database.

I am firstly converting the file using VB.NET, to ensure each line of the file has a carriage return (by using streamwriter.writeline), and I am also ensuring there is no blank line at the end of the file (by using streamwriter.write).

Once I have done this, my BULK INSERT command appears to work OK. This is how I am using the statement:

 BULK INSERT
  tempHISTORY
  FROM 'C:TEMPHISTORY.TXT'
    WITH
       (
       FIRSTROW = 2,
       FIELDTERMINATOR = '|',
       ROWTERMINATOR = '
'
       )

NB: The first row in the file is a header row.

This appears to work OK, however, I have found that certain files seem to miss the final line of the file! I have analysed these files incase they have an inconsistant number of columns but they don't.

I have also found that if I knock off the last column of the tempHISTORY table, the correct number of rows are imported. However, of course, I can't just discard one of the columns from the file, I need to import the entire file.

I cannot understand why BULK INSERT is choosing to miss the final line in the file, when the schema of the destination table matches the structure of the file.

Transact SQL :: Bulk Insert 0 Rows Affected

May 15, 2015

I have a file which has some wind data that i am trying to import into a sql data base through bulk insert. if the script works as it supposed i should see 144 rows impacted but i see 0 rows affected. 

BULK INSERT TOWER.RAWINTERFACE_1058 FROM 'C:Temp900020150427583.txt' 
WITH(CHECK_CONSTRAINTS,CODEPAGE='RAW',DATAFILETYPE='char',FIELDTERMINATOR=' ',ROWTERMINATOR='
',FIRSTROW=172)

The code works if the file is large but if its small 0 rows are affected. and also if i remove the header rows then the file works again. want to understand what is going on here. i am including the screen shot of the file in notepad++. I have tried changing the row terminator to ' ' , ' ' and also tried to change the codepage but nothing seems to work. No error file is being generated either, if i give a error file option.

Count Rows Imported By Bulk Insert

Jul 13, 2006

I have a stored procedure which will run automatically. I've got try...catch code in the procedure, but I found a bug with the code where if there are any import errors, it doesn't recognize that that there was an error and it runs through the try code as through there was no problems. (I reported the bug).
I added some code using @@rowcount to check if there were rows imported, and if not, it moves the data file to a error folder so I know there was a problem with the import. But this only checks if at least one row was imported, not if all the rows in the datafile have been imported. (i.e. if the first row imported correctly, and the second did not, it still sees it as successful).
The problem is some of the data files have only one row to import and some have multiple rows. Is there a way to count the number of rows in the datafile, then count the number of rows imported, to verify they are the same number imported?
Thanks,
Laura

SQL Server 2008 :: BULK INSERT Inserting No Rows

Aug 7, 2015

I am trying to BULK INSERT csv files using a stored procedure in SQL SERVER 2008R2 SP3. Although the files contain several thousand lines and BULK INSERT returns no errors, no data is actually imported into the table. Every field in the table is a NVARCHAR(50) datatype.

Here is the code for the operation (only the parameters for the insert itself):

set @open = 'bulk insert [DWHStaging].[dbo].[Abverkaufsquote] from '''
set @path = 'G:DataStagingDWHStagingSourceAbverkaufsquote'
set @params = ''' with (firstrow = 2
, datafiletype = ''widechar''
, fieldterminator = '';''
, rowterminator = ''
''
, codepage = ''1252''
, keepnulls);'

The csv file originates from a DB2 database. Using exactly the same code base I can import several other types of CSV files without problem.

The files are stored on the local server with as UCS2 Little Endian and one difference is that the files that do not import do not include a BOM. The other difference is that the failed files are non-UNICODE files.

Bulk Insert, Skip Rows With Duplicate Key Error?

May 21, 2007

Does sql server have a way to handle errors in a sproc which would allowone to insert rows, ignoring rows which would create a duplicate keyviolation? I know if one loops one can handle the error on a row by rowbasis. But is there a way to skip the loop and do it as a bulk insert?It's easy to do in Access, but I'm curious to know if SQL Server propercan handle like this. I am guessing that a looping operation would beslower to execute?

Transact SQL :: How To Bulk Insert Rows From Text File Into A Wide Table Which Has 1400 Columns

Feb 3, 2010

we can easily load a file into db tables. However, my main concern here is the number of columns in the file. A text file TEXT_1400.txt has 1400 columns. I am unable to load data to my db table using BCP or BULK INSERT commands, as maximum of 1024 columns are allowed per table in SQL Server 2008. 

We can still go ahead and create ‘Wide Table’ (a special table that holds up to 30,000 columns.  The maximum size of a wide table row is 8,019 bytes.). But when operating on wide table, BCP/BULK INSERT commands still fail. After few hours of scratching my head over BCP and BULK INSERT, I observed that while inserting BCP/BULK INSERT commands are unable to identify SPARSE columns and skip these columns, which disturbs column mapping and results in data conversion and trancation errors.
 
Is there any proper way to load this kind of files into the db table?

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!

Pros: How To Bulk Delete And Bulk Insert?

Oct 11, 2000

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


Any comments are appreciated,

-Marc

Error: 0xC002F304 At Bulk Insert Task, Bulk Insert Task: An Error Occurred With The Following Error Message: Cannot Fetch A Row

Apr 8, 2008


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.

BULK INSERT ERROR Using Format File - Bulk Load Data Conversion Error

Jun 29, 2015

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?

Bulk load data conversion error (truncation) for row 1, column 1 (ASXCode).
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

Questions About Bulk Copy Insert Using 'Memory Based Bulk Copy Operations'

Feb 1, 2007

Hi~,

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

- any other guide lines

Can I Insert/Update Large Text Field To Database Without Bulk Insert?

Nov 14, 2007

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.

SP Skips Execution Of Child SP When Called From C#

Sep 14, 2005

Hello all. I have a stored procedure that seems to skip the execution of an entire line of code (which happens to be a call to execute another stored procedure), but ONLY if it is being used from C# (using the System.Data.SqlClient namespace... object: SqlCommand, etc).

Basic structure:

Event SP: top-most parent
-->Calls UpdateXs SP: This is the SP that will not call his child SP
----->Calls UpdateX: This is the SP that is being ignored when called from .NET (In a loop, each iteration, max iterations 10).

(1) I can call the top-most stored procedure (Event SP) with the same arguments in Query Analyzer and all SP's will execute.
(2) I can call UpdateXs SP with the same arguments that are being passed to it from Event SP in the Query Analyzer, and again, it's child sp executes (UpdateX).
(3) I can also call the last child (UpdateX) directly in Query Analyzer with the same arguments that are passed in production (from executing the top-most parent in C#), and it executes correctly.

I'm positive that at no point the last child (UpdateX) is being passed NULL values. I made debug tables and before execution of an SP from within another SP, I store all the arguments in a debug table--none are null. Also, to figure out what was wrong with the last child (UpdateX) , the first statement in inserts into another debug table, just to show that that execution has made it into the sp--when the top parent is called from C#, it doesn't insert into my table (doesn't execute).

There are statements inside Event SP that execute after the sp call to UpdateXs SP. These statement always execute. Also, there are statements inside UpdateXs SP that execute after the sp call to the last child. These statement always execute too.

I am now clueless. I had developed & debugged all sp's in Query Analyzer before trying to use it live (with the C#). It's always fine in Query Analyzer, but ALWAYS skips the last sp in production.

Is there some fundamental principle I am missing here in MS SQL stored procedures? I am only 3 levels deep in SP calls, so I didn't think that would be an issue (I have made SP's that went a LOT deeper in calls than that in the past with no issues).

Any insight much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Upsizing Wizard Skips Tables

Sep 1, 2006

I am in the process of porting all of my Access 2003 databases to SQL Server. I started with my smallest database, which has only two tables. I have run the wizard five times, with different settings, but every time it only imports the table structure without the data.

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing here? Also, I have created several databases which I can't use, named InstructorsSQL, InstructorsSQL1, InstructorsSQL2, etc. I deleted the database files, but the names are apparently still in the system, since SQL Server won't allow me to use the same name again. How can I get rid of these old names.

Thanks,

Questions About Memory Based Bulk Copy Operation(InsertRow Count,array Insert Directly,set Memory Based Bulk Copy Option)

Feb 15, 2007

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

m_TableID.uName.pwszName = m_wszTableName;
m_TableID.eKind = DBKIND_NAME;

DBPROP rgProps[1];
DBPROPSET PropSet[1];

rgProps[0].dwOptions = DBPROPOPTIONS_REQUIRED;
rgProps[0].colid = DB_NULLID;
rgProps[0].vValue.vt = VT_BSTR;
rgProps[0].dwPropertyID = SSPROP_FASTLOADOPTIONS;
rgProps[0].vValue.bstrVal = L"ROWS_PER_BATCH = 10000,TABLOCK";

PropSet[0].rgProperties = rgProps;
PropSet[0].cProperties = 1;
PropSet[0].guidPropertySet = DBPROPSET_SQLSERVERROWSET;

if(m_pIOpenRowset)

Using SSIS 2005 To Strip Out Bad Rows In Excel And Then Insert Detailed Rows Into OLE DB Data Source

Apr 6, 2006

Environment:
 
Running this code on my PC via VS 2005
.Net version 2.0.50727 on the server (shown in IIS)
Code is in ASP.NET 2.0 and is a VB.NET Console application
SSIS 2005
 
Problem & Info:
 
I am bringing in an Excel file.  I need to first strip out any non-detail rows such as the breaks you see with totals and what not.  I should in the end have only detail rows left before I start moving them into my SQL Table.  I'm not sure how to first strip this information out in SSIS specfically how down to the right component and how to actually code the component to do this based on my Excel file here: http://www.webfound.net/excelfile.xls

Then, I assume I just use a Flat File Source coponent or something to actually take the columns in the Excel and split into an OLE DB Datasource to shove each column into a corresponding column in my SQL Server Table.  I have used a Flat File Source in the past to do so with a comma delimited txt file but never tried with an Excel.
 
Desired Help:

 
How to perform
 
1)       stripping out all undesired rows
2)       importing each column into sql table

Do Not Keep NULLS Using SSIS Bulk Insert Task - Insert Empty Strings Instead Of NULLS

May 15, 2008

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.

Something Like A Bulk Insert...

Aug 28, 2007

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??
