ForEach File Enumeration With Bulk Insert Problem

Jul 14, 2007

OK, a new package, with a Foreach container enumerating CSV files in a directory.

I create the container pointing it at the directory and retrieving the fully qualified name, and create a variable (called 'CSVFiles') with a package scope, but no value.

Inside the container is a bulk insert task. The destination db/table is set, and the input flat file connection manager for the CSV files is defined with the connection string set to the variable created above.

As it iterates through the files, the variable is correctly set to the next file in the directory (I put a message box in the stream to display the file name/variable). It resembles 'C: empLocation1.csv'.

But when it gets to the bulk insert, I get this error message:

[Bulk Insert Task] Error: The specified connection "CSVFiles" is either not valid, or points to an invalid object. To continue, specify a valid connection.

What's going on here? Can I not use a bulk insert task in the container? Or some other parameter needs to be set?

SQL Server 9.00.3159

Problem With Bulk Insert Task In Foreach Loop

Dec 18, 2007

Hi Guys
The problem is...
When i try to bulk insert a single file its working fine. When i want to loop a set of files in a folder and use Foreach Loop and BulkInsert Task...its failing..

In the flat file connection When i specify usage type as existing file...its loading the same file "n" number of times where n is the number of files in the folder.

When i select usage type as existing folder i get error " Cannot bulk load because the file "....folder" could not be opened. Can someone help me out with this?
I have sql 2005 as as separate instance...beside my 2000 which is default

Thanks!

Bulk Insert In Foreach Loop Not Setting Source ConnectionString

Feb 22, 2008

Hello all,

I am running into an issue that seems to be collaborated here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=188886&SiteID=1.

To summarize, I have a Foreach Loop that uses a Foreach File Enumerator. The loop writes the file names to a variable which is used in the Expressions property for a flat file's ConnectionString. The flat file is used as a source destination in a Bulk Insert Task that is inside the Foreach Loop. The flat file's connection string is not picking up the file name, resulting in this error: "The specified connection "test.txt" is either not valid, or points to an invalid object. To continue, specify a valid connection."

It doesn't work for a file connection manager or a flat file connection manager.

It does work if I replace the Bulk Insert Task with a Data Flow (flat file source -> ole db destination). It also works if I set the file's connection string manually in a script task.

It looks to me as though the Bulk Insert isn't calling whatever method in the connection manager that reevaluates the property expression. Am I missing something or is this a bug? I looked at the connect site, but couldn't find this particular scenario.

Thanks for any insight you might provide!
Jessica

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?

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

XML Format File For Bulk Insert Of Text File With Fixed Length Columns

Jan 2, 2008

Hey All,

Similar to a previous post (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=244646&SiteID=1), I am trying to import data into a SQL Table.

I am trying to program a small application that will import product data obtained through suppliers via CD-ROM. One supplier in particular uses Fixed width colums, and data looks like this:

Example of Data

0124015Apple Crate 32.12

0124016Bananna Box 12.56

0124017Mango Carton 15.98

0124018Seedless Watermelon 42.98
My Table would then have:
ProductID as int
Name as text
Cost as money

How would I go about extracting the data with an XML Format file? I am stumbling over how to tell it where to start picking up data for a specific column.
Is there any way that I could trim the Name column (i.e.: "Mango Carton " --> "Mango Carton")?

I don't know if it makes any difference, but I've been calling SQL from my code by doing this:

Code in C# Form

SqlConnection SqlConnection = new SqlConnection(global::SQLClients.Properties.Settings.Default.ClientPhonebookConnectionString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();

cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO PhonebookTable(Name, PhoneNumber) VALUES('" + txtName.Text.ToString() + "', '" + txtPhoneNumber.Text.ToString() + "')";
cmd.Connection = SqlConnection;

SqlConnection.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
SqlConnection.Close();
RefreshData();
I am running Visual Studio C# Express 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005.

Thanks for your time,

Hayden.

For Each Loop Container File Enumeration

Feb 27, 2008

I am trying to move files from one directory to anonther using the For Each Loop Container and a File System Task. However, on the FIRST iteration of the ForEach Loop the variable that I am setting to the 0 index of the For Each Loop is returning me a valid directory with no file ( path only ) from who knows where ????

On the second iteration of the For Each Loop everything works as expected and I get the full path and file name and it iterates through all the files in the directory o.k.

So I have had to put a Hack to skip the fist iteration of the loop and then execute the File Task on the second iteration but I dont see anyone else doing this.

Where in the heck is it getting this odd directory from on the fist iteration ( its not my User varible because I am initializing it to \nowhereofile ). What am I doing wrong?

Foreach Loop Container Foreach File Enumerator Sort Files

How do you sort files from the Foreach loop container?

I love this component, except I can't get it to sort by filename.

Nice to know how to sort by timestamps also.

Foreach File Enumerator - Is Absent In Foreach Loop Component

Apr 11, 2007

Hi,

I have no "Foreach File Enumerator" oprtion in the Enumerator Property of the Foreach Loop Component.

I have this enumerator in the c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSForEachEnumerators folder.

Also I check it in the GAC - it does not here. I try to execute gacutil.exe -iF ForEachFileEnumerator.dll, but it is failed with "Failure adding assembly to the cache: The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest." Seems it is not managed enumerator.

Please help me.

Also information on how to regeister unmanaged enumerators are welcome!

Bulk Insert From A .csv File

May 5, 2006

Hi folks,

I have a small problem - I am unable to load data from a .csv file into a table in SQL Server. Here is the command I am running:
BULK INSERT CCSProgramParticipation FROM 'c: est.csv'
WITH (
DATAFILETYPE = 'char',
FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
ROWTERMINATOR = ''
)

Data in test.csv is the following format: (date fields can be blank)
NY580232,0,6/30/2006,3567,396,7/1/2005,9/9/2005
NY580232,0,6/30/2006,14850,462,12/12/2005,
....
....

What I see is the data does get loaded; however, data from the following row is getting inserted in the last field of a particular row (previous row) - it seems like the rowterminator is being ignored.

Has anyone encountered this issue? Please let me know your thoughts on this.

Thanks so much!

Bulk Insert From CSV File

Oct 9, 2013

I am bulk inserting from a csv file using

BULK INSERT testTable
FROM 'C:UsersRobsDocumentsSoccer2011-2012SC1.csv'
WITH
(
FIRSTROW=2,
FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
ROWTERMINATOR = '
',
)

Works fine. Most of my csv files have the same number of columns, but some have 4 less. The files contain the same column headings as the full size ones(only 4 less). Is there a way when bulk inserting for sql to either skip these, or ignore the error.

Hi ,

I have imported an event log file from an NT server in a test database . The table has been created automatically with some 10 columns as Col001...Col002 ...and so on till Col0010 .
Now i want to copy the data of the event logs to specific columns . So i created a table with name such as Evnt , date , time , server and evntdescription so that whenever i can execute a simple query like

Select * from tablename where type = 'app' , Server = 'test1 ' .
so that i get all the results for that server 'test1 with type 'application' .

The problem is how do i insert that event log file into the table which i have created with different columns names . So that the data with 'App' should go to column 'type , data with server name should go to the column name server and so on ..

I tried all the was but could not succeed . Can i get some help in this regard please through some stored procedures or through DTS , if its possible .

The server is SQL Server 2000 with SP 1.

Many thanks

Bulk Insert Using Format File.......

Apr 8, 2001

I want to use the bulk insert statement to insert data from a text file that contains more columns than the target sql table does. I am using SQL 7.0.

I am using a format file, but I can't work out how to achieve the above. SQL books online (and the msdn website) do not describe how to do this, but it is intimated that it can be done.

Any suggestions ?

Regards,

Stuart.

How To Bulk Insert A File With No Row Terminator?

Jul 16, 2004

Hi All,

I have a file that has fixed row size of 148 and fixed column size, but the file has no end of line character. I know it is wierd but a client has made the file and refuses to change the format. So I am stuck with reading it the way it is.
In Enterprise Manager, I used the Import/Export wizard and I specified fixed length and it let me specify 148 as the lenght of each line. Then it recognized the file and I was able to read it in.
I saved the DTS package and I can run it over and over again using dtsrun. However I want to do the same thing using Bulk Insert. How do you specify fixed row length for Bulk insert and how do you give it individual column lengths?

Thanks,

Shab

Dynamic File Name For Bulk Insert

Oct 20, 2005

SQL Server 2K

OK, I'm probably being a bone-head here and am clearly in over my head but how do you (or can you?) set up a Bulk Insert to take a dynamic path/file name?

What I want to do is pass in the path and file name from an external process to a stored procedure that bulk inserts the content of the file and then does some other routines on it. I haven't had any luck getting Bulk Insert to run if the path/file name is not hard-coded in the sproc as a string.

The point is to have a master routine that can exercise the process for several different customers and use meta data in a table to inform what file to bulk insert.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

The file contains 1000 insert (Aprox); I read lines for lines the file I make the insert

In VS.NET 2003 it works correctly and the process consumes little memory but In VS.NET 2005 the pocket is without space.

How I can specify the factor of growth of the database SQL Mobile?

How another thing can be happening?

Bulk Insert, Bcp For Import Log File In Sql

Mar 11, 2008

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 !

Bulk Insert From Csv Using XML Format File

Apr 4, 2008

Hello, I am doing a bulk insert using a XML Format file from a csv file. Most everything works just fine, but my delimiter is a , the problem is one of the column sets sometimes contains a , within "" like this:

value1,"value,2",value3

So when I do my insert it is distorting the column values because unlike excel it is not ignoring the comma within the quotes. Is there any way to set an attribute within the format file to prevent this from happening?

Using BULK INSERT To Load File To Table

Apr 22, 2004

Is that possible to load files (*.bmp, *.jpg etc) to table (field type IMAGE) using BULK INSERT?
Or is it better to do it otherwise?

Thanks

BULK INSERT Flat File With Only One Column

Jan 30, 2004

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.

Bulk Insert From Txt File Less Data Than Columns

May 23, 2007

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

Bulk Insert Task - Error File

Oct 11, 2007

Using BCP or BULK INSERT you can specify an Error File (-e and ERRORFILE). However this does not seem to be exposed in SSIS via the Bulk Insert Task.

Does anyone know if I'm missing something and the Property is called something else or if can be accessed via script?

Cheers,

-Ryan

BULK INSERT - Does It Lock The File While Reading?

Jul 23, 2005

Howdy, all. We have a (log-type) file that's constantly being writtento. We need to grab the latest rows out of this file, insert them intoa table, and then process them. We've found out the hard way that BCPlocks the file while it's inserting, so rows can't be written to thefile while the BCP is running.Our current workaround is to make a copy of the file (using ftp), butwe're running into other problems.I'm trying to find a better way to do this. We've narrowed down acouple.1) use TAIL or something similar to grab the records since we last ran.2) use BULK INSERT, provided it doesn't lock the file.3) get suggestions off of USENET. :)Any suggestions or comments?Thanks,Michael
