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.

Verify that the field terminator and row terminator are specified correctly.Bulk load data conversion error (overflow) for row 1, column 1 (rowno).".

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?

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 ?

SQL Server 2012 running under a domain Managed Service Account. (Server A)
File located on a Windows 2012 server in a directory which has been shared to user A. (Server B).
User A is a domain account and is using his laptop, (laptop C) which is using SSMS to run a bulk insert command.
User A (Bulk Insert from laptop SSMS Client) --- > SQL Server (server A) --- > File Server (Server B)
The command fails and is returning Access denied to the file/folder share on Server B.
Running the same command on the SQL Server (Server A), the command works fine, so this is a double hop kerberos issue.
If I use a SQL Login from Laptop C, then the command works fine as the SQL Server will use the SQL's Managed service account to connect to the file share, which is set up for delegation and impersonation.
I am struggling to work out why a domain user cannot bulk insert a file from a remote location. I have checked that the user is connected with Kerberos authentication and they are. All articles seem to talk about setting up SPN's for the SQL Server so that SQL Login authentication can work over remote bulk insert, and just say to set up the file share properties properly if using a domain account.
What I am missing to allow domain accounts to bulk insert remotely, from a remote file share?
Overall goal: Write a Bulk Insert statement using the UNC path of a filetable directory.

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.
I'm doing a bulk insert from a text file to sql server 7
I'm getting an error:

Bulk insert data conversion error (overflow) for row 1, column 169 (LOT_WIDTH).

OLE DB provider 'STREAM' reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
The statement has been terminated.
Now my lot-width field coming in is defined as a numeric 9(5).
My table is defined as an INT.
Any suggestion? I'm new to SQL7

I am attempting to bulk insert a comma delimited text file with double quotes as the text qualifier but I keep getting an error message(EOF) on the bulk insert.
I think the problem lies in my format file (see below)

Simple test project. Created Flat File connection, database connection (both local), and Bulk Insert Task. When running the package I get the following error:
[Bulk Insert Task] Error: 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.Bulk load: An unexpected end of file was encountered in the data file.".
I've tried different settings for the Flat File config, and the database connection, but still get the error. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Tks.
Hi,
I am using bulk insert to insert a lot of information from file to memory. In many cases it do the work but in one place it gives me the exception.
My code:
BULK INSERT tblCompVSNet1 FROM 'E:EasySeriesWindowsApplication1inDebug blCompVSNet1.tbl' WITH ( FIELDTERMINATOR = '|',ROWTERMINATOR = '|',LASTROW = 0,ROWS_PER_BATCH = 10000,CODEPAGE = 'RAW',TABLOCK)
The error:
Invalid object name 'tblCompVSNet1'
The table exists and the query works fine in query analyzer but in code through OLEDB it doesn't work sometimes.
How can I solve my problem?
Thank's
Alexei

Help! I am importing a large comma delimited text file into an existing table useing the BULK INSERT command. The table is 4 colums (char16, char16, varchar50, char1). The first 100 or so lines go in without an error. then, I recieve an error stateing that an entry is too long for the field in the database, and kicks me out. The entry is 50 characters, which is allowed. Any ideas why this would happen?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using the following bulk insert statement:
bulk insert DB_Kash.dbo.tb_category
from 'C:cpdataSUPPLIER_5305OUTPUTTb_Category.txt'
with (formatfile = 'C:b_category.txt')
This works on one sql server and the same code does not work on another server.I have taken care to see that the path is appropriate.
Are there any server settings involved?
The table structure is the same in both cases and the select into nulk copy option has been selected.
The table has full text indexing set on it but I don't think that this would make any difference.
The only error it gives is "ILE DB Stream reported an error.The stream does not provide any expalanation regarding this error." Something like this.
Infact the same format file and datafile work fine when I am doing BCP.
I have tried with select into bulk copy option on and off too.
Any info on this is greatly appreciated.

Can someone help me out with capturing the bulk insert error.I have a job which calls a procedure in which I used the bulk insert command .If the bulk insert is failing due to some reason as wrong delimitor,wrong path etc then the job fails.I need to track that error and see that the job doesnt stop and goes onto the next cursor record.

The @FilePath points to a .csv file
then use data in temp table inser into a permanent table.
The input excel file is .csv file with 5 columns.
Thanks in advance.
I do not understand the error handling of SQL Server here. Any error inbulk insert seems to halt the current T-SQL statement entirely, renderingit impossible to log an error. The first statement below executes asexpected, and were I to replace "print" with something meaningful I coulddo some useful error handling. The second statement just seems to totallybail out after the error, preventing me from doing any useful errorhandling. This is a problem b/c I would like to schedule bulk inserts andneed to be notified if there is a problem.The following can be run in QA to demonstrate:print 'BEFORE TYPICAL ERROR'raiserror('Some Error', 16, 10)if (@@ERROR <> 0) print 'I can catch and log this error - good!' elseprint 'I can not catch and log this error - bad!'print 'AFTER TYPICAL ERROR'goprint 'BEFORE BULK INSERT'Bulk insert Northwind.dbo.ordersfrom 'ThisFileDoesNotExist'if (@@ERROR <> 0) print 'I can catch and log this error - good!' elseprint 'I can not catch and log this error - bad!'print 'AFTER BULK INSERT'goTIA,Dave

I am still looking through archives and on the web, but have not seen anything specific to my issue yet...and cannot believe that I am the first to BULK INSERT this kind of data.
Help is appreciated!

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,

Cannot bulk load because the file "c:DATABATCHBCPFormat.fmt" could not be read. Operating system error code (null).
Above is the error I get. The problem is I do not know what is causing this error. It occurs when I attempt to use SQLCMD with bulk insert.
I am using SQLserver 2005 and I have a similar set up in a test database that works, why this format file does not is beyond me, but my experience is when the format file has an error in it, such as a mispelled datatype or a incorrect column number, the error will zero in on that, rather then declare the entire file unreadable. Furthermore if I go into the file, change something so where it is incorrect (like a column number) it will zero in on that error. So I know that the format file can be read. If I knew what this error was all about I would at least know where to begin in fixing it. I have also tried using a very small sample file for the data being inserted. Same error.
Please help
Hello
I am trying to bulk insert a text file into SQL 2005 table. When I execute the bulk insert I get the error
"Msg 4860, Level 16, State 1, Line 1. Cannot bulk load. The file "\ENDUSER-SQLEnduserTextB1020063.txt" does not exist."
The text file that it is saying does not exist I recently created thru my code. I can open the file but only when I rename the file will the Bulk Insert work. After creating the text file I am moving it to the server that SQL server is running on. Also if I run sp_FileExists it also says the file does not exist unless again I rename the file then this stored procedure recognizes the file. I dont' know if I have a permission issue or what is the problem. Any help would be appreiated.
Thanks

hi
"Bulk insert data conversion error (truncation) for row 1, column 1 (id)."
when you get the error above or similar in sql server 2000 does it continue inserting the data by truncating it or does it stop beacause looking at the data that i have got it seems to continue inserting the data but just truncates the colunm. i have tried it several time its seeems to be consistent.
I have data that has white spaces after the actual data e.g. '00093 ' hence i am happy aslong as i can be sure that it does always continue as i will be loading alot of data using a similar process.
hence my question is that will it load all the data all the time and just truncate it to fit the column size?
