Conditional Bulk Insert
Sep 19, 2007
Hi
I am doing bulk insert as follows. The @lastUpdate, @filePath, @formatFile comes as a parametes to stored proc
INSERT INTO Categories
SELECT CategoryId, @LastUpdate FROM OPENROWSET
(
BULK @filePath ,
FORMATFILE = @formatFile,
FIRSTROW =2
)
AS a
This works fine for me.
But my new requirement is that i shouldn't insert the CategoryId if it exists
How can we have conditional bulk insert? i am using Bulk insert as the file might have millions of category Ids.
Please provide your inputs that executes much faster
Best Regards,
~Mohan Babu

Hello all,
I just wanted to know whether is it possible to use Bulk Insert and Conditional Split together for one transformation.

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.

Does anyone know how to do a bulk insert using just the script task? I've been searching everyehere but can't seem to find a sample.

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.

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 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
Any comments are appreciated,
-Marc

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.

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).

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

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.

Hi,
Originally had 2 tables, fullsource and ssotarget. I did the following extract on fullsource due to its irregular schema and inserted into ssotarget:
INSERT SSOTARGET (pin, address1, address2, address3, MemberNo, Tel1, Tel2, Tel3, Tel4, DOB, Email, IDNumber, Title, Initials, Firstname, Surname, STATUS)
SELECT
PIN,
MAX(CASE WHEN HEADER = 'ADDRESS DETAILS' AND PROPERTY = 'LINE 1' THEN VALUE ELSE NULL END) AS address1,
MAX(CASE WHEN HEADER = 'ADDRESS DETAILS' AND PROPERTY = 'LINE 2' THEN VALUE ELSE NULL END) AS address2,
MAX(CASE WHEN HEADER = 'ADDRESS DETAILS' AND PROPERTY = 'LINE 3' THEN VALUE ELSE NULL END) AS address3,
MAX(CASE WHEN HEADER = 'ACOMPANY' AND PROPERTY = 'Membership Number' THEN VALUE ELSE NULL END) AS MemberNo,
MAX(CASE WHEN HEADER = 'CONTACT DETAILS' AND PROPERTY = 'Preferred method of contact*' THEN VALUE ELSE NULL END) AS Tel1,
MAX(CASE WHEN HEADER = 'CONTACT DETAILS' AND PROPERTY = 'Tel number (o/h) e.g. 011 2690000' THEN VALUE ELSE NULL END) AS Tel2,
MAX(CASE WHEN HEADER = 'CONTACT DETAILS' AND PROPERTY = 'Mobile number e.g. 0821234567' THEN VALUE ELSE NULL END) AS Tel3,
MAX(CASE WHEN HEADER = 'CONTACT DETAILS' AND PROPERTY = 'Fax number e.g. 011 2691000' THEN VALUE ELSE NULL END) AS Tel4,
MAX(CASE WHEN HEADER = 'Date Of Birth' AND PROPERTY = 'eg. 04 Jan 1965' THEN VALUE ELSE NULL END) AS DOB,
MAX(CASE WHEN HEADER = 'Email address' AND PROPERTY = 'Email Address' THEN VALUE ELSE NULL END) AS Email,
MAX(CASE WHEN HEADER = 'ID Number' AND PROPERTY = 'ID Number' THEN VALUE ELSE NULL END) AS IDNumber,
MAX(CASE WHEN HEADER = 'Member Information' AND PROPERTY = 'Title' THEN VALUE ELSE NULL END) AS Title,
MAX(CASE WHEN HEADER = 'Member Information' AND PROPERTY = 'Initials' THEN VALUE ELSE NULL END) AS Initials,
MAX(CASE WHEN HEADER = 'Member Information' AND PROPERTY = 'Firstname' THEN VALUE ELSE NULL END) AS Firstname,
MAX(CASE WHEN HEADER = 'Member Information' AND PROPERTY = 'Surname' THEN VALUE ELSE NULL END) AS Surname,
MAX(CASE WHEN HEADER = 'ACOMPANY' AND PROPERTY = 'Membership Number' THEN STATUS ELSE NULL END) AS STATUS
FROM
FULLSOURCE
GROUP BY PIN
Now how can I reverse this to insert all the values back to tbl FULLSOURCE from maybe an updated SSOTARGET Tbl. FULLSOURCE looks like this:
SELECT [PIN]
,[SYSTEM]
,[Header]
,[Property]
,[Value]
,[Status]
,[ID_Header]
,[ID_Property]
FROM [fullsource]

I need to do a conditional insert. This is what I have tried, it does not work.
What am I doing incorrectly?
IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM TBL1 INNER JOIN
TBL2 ON TBL1.MODEL_ID = TBL2.MODEL_ID INNER JOIN
TBL3 ON TBL1.PRO_TYPE = TBL3.TYPE INNER JOIN
TBL4 ON TBL1.PRO_SITE = TBL4.WHDESC) > 0
INSERT INTO TBL5
SELECT TBL1.PRO_SITE, TBL1.MODEL_ID,
TBL1.NUM_SLOTS, TBL1.TARGET_DAYS, GETDATE() AS Expr1,
TBL3.TYPE_ID, NULL AS Expr2, TBL1.NUM_SLOTS AS Expr3, NULL AS Expr4, NULL
AS Expr5, 0 AS RAMP
FROM TBL1 INNER JOIN
TBL2 ON TBL1.MODEL_ID = TBL2.MODEL_ID INNER JOIN
TBL3 ON TBL1.PRO_TYPE = TBL3.TYPE INNER JOIN
TBL4 ON TBL1.PRO_SITE = TBL4.WHDESC
UPDATE TBL5
SET TEAMS=0
GO
UPDATE TBL5
SET TEAMS = (SELECT NUM_SLOTS
FROM TBL6 R1
WHERE (R1.TEAM_ID = TBL5.TEAM_ID)
)
WHERE (TEAM_ID =
(SELECT TEAM_ID
FROM TBL6 R3
WHERE (R3.TEAM_ID = TBL5.TEAM_ID)))
GO
UPDATE TBL5
SET TOTALTEAMS = TEAMS + RAMP
GO
I need to do a conditional because sometimes the select that returns data contains no records.
Thanks...

Good Afternoon,
I am new to MSSQL and am trying to write a complicated SQL statement that I'm having trouble with. Any help that anyone can offer is much appreciated!
Here is the problem I am tackling:
I have a list of about 5,000 members of our organization stored in the MemberList MSSQL table. I have a separate MSSQL table (CityList) that has approximately 500,000 resident of a city.
I am trying to find matches between MemberList and CityList for the purposes of figuring out which of our members are registered voters.
The tricky part of this problem, is that there is no unique ID (such as a social security number) that is present in each list. Accordingly, I have decided to created several types of matches:
1. NameDOBMatch: Where the FirstName, LastName & DOB fields in MemberList table match the same fields in CityList table.
2. NameAddressMatch: Where the LastName, FirstName & Address fields in the MemberList table match the same fields in the CityList table.
3. DoubleMatch: A combination of the first two matches (i.e. where the LastName, FirstName, DOB, & Address fields in the MemberList table match the same fields in the CityList table).
My goal is to "loop" through the MemberList and CityList tables and to add a new row to a third MSSQL table (MemberMatch) each time one of the aforementioned matches is found. The MemberMatch table has the following fields:
1. MatchID (key)
2. MemberID (Unique ID of member from MemberList table)
3. ResidentID (Unqiue ID of matching member from CityList table).
4. MatchType (value of NameDOBMatch, NameAddressMatch or DoubleMatch, depending on match type).
If anyone could help me create an SQL statement that would accomplish that, I would very much appreciate it!
Thanks,
Bryan

Is there any way to create a "Conditional Insert Trigger"
My Scenario is this;
When a user adds an email address to the database, I want to look to see if the email address is like '%@acme-holdings%' and if it is then to change the value to 'Not allowed', otherwise to leave it alone and go ahead with inserting the original email address
TIA

I've got a case where I am bringing older data into a brand new DB. Unfortunately, there are several versions of the old DB and I won't know ahead of time which one I will be running against. The data's basicaly the same, the table names are the same, but the column schema is NOT.
Basiclly, I want to use a conditional on the Insert.
Code Block
CREATE TABLE TestTable
(Col1 int NULL,
Col2 varchar(50) NULL)
GO
IF EXISTS (SELECT *
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_CATALOG= 'TestDB'
AND TABLE_NAME ='TestTable'
AND COLUMN_NAME= 'Fred')
INSERT TestTable
(Col1, Col2, Fred)
VALUES
(1,'test', 'fredvalue')
This results in an "Unknown column" error.
What am I missing here and how can I accomplish it.
I know that I COULD build a SQL string and Exec it, but that is such a PITA and not very elegant.
Any help would be appreciated

I need to do a conditional insert, and I am afraid that if I do it in 2 steps it will create bugs...I have a table called customers and a table called lockscustomers has 3 fields CustomerID, FirstName, and LastNamelocks has fields LockID, CustomerID, UserID, SessionID, and TimeStampI need to check if there are any records in Locks for a CustomerID and if there are none, I need to insert One.This is going to tell my application that this Customer record is locked so no one else can edit it, until the Lock record is deleted.I just don't want to make 2 trips, One to check if the Lock exists, then One to insert the Lock, since this could allow 2 locks to be created if the timing is correct.Any ideas or comments?

I have several places where I need to get the id (primary key) of a resource, inserting a row if the resource does not exist (i.e. an artificial key to be used as an FK for another table). I should probably change this varchar key lookup to use a hash index, but that is beside the point.
So the table is essentially like:
CREATE TABLE MyLookup(id int identity primary key nonclustered, mykey varchar(256));
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX mylookup_cidx_mykey ON MyLookup(mykey);
I see two main approaches for how I can do my get-id-with-insert-if-needed.
(Approach 1)
DECLARE @id INT;
SELECT @id = id FROM MyLookup WHERE mykey = 'some key value';
IF (@id is null)
BEGIN
INSERT MyLookup ('some key value');
SET @id = SCOPE_IDENTITY();
END
(Approach 2)
DECLARE @id INT;
INSERT MyLookup SELECT 'some key value' WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT id FROM MyLookup WHERE mykey = 'some key value');
IF (@@ROWCOUNT = 0)
SELECT @id = id FROM MyLookup WHERE mykey = 'some key value';
ELSE
SET @id = SCOPE_IDENTITY();
From some quick tests in profiler, approach 2 seems to be a bit faster and have lower resource utilization. But I'm not sure if it maybe takes some more aggressive locks even in the unnecessary case where the mykey row value of 'some key value' already exists. Approach 2 also looks cleaner to me, but I don't mind a bit of extra code if it gives me better scalability through less lock contention.
Any tip on what is considered the best practice for a conditional insert like this, or a tip on how to get detailed lock info for a query? The lock info for profiler was all greek to me, it just had a hex value with each lock acquired/released, so I have no idea what it was telling me. Is my only solution to just run exhaustive tests and look at the perf numbers from the black box?

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)
{
if(FAILED(m_pIOpenRowset->OpenRowset(NULL,&m_TableID,NULL,IID_IRowsetFastLoad,1,PropSet,(LPUNKNOWN*)&m_pIRowsetFastLoad)))
{
return FALSE;

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,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??
