Does anyone know if there is a .NET object that does something similar to BCP? We are trying to export data in a lightweight (minimal dependancies) manner from SQL Server to a txt file. If there was a .NET component that did this it would really help us. There is a SQLBulkCopy object but I think its for importing to SQL Server.
Does anyone know of one?
bcp "viewname" queryout filename.txt -c -T (filename and viewname changed for security purposes) errors with Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1Incorrect syntax near 'queryout'. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Maybe there's a better way to export data from a view to a .csv file? TIA,Krista

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to export a table to .CSV file using Sql 2005 BCP utility through .Net web page.
I get the following error: " An error occurred during the execution of xp_cmdshell. A call to 'CreateProcessAsUser' failed with error code: '1314'. "
I have done following steps:
-- Set up proxy for a windows account using command : sp_xp_cmdshell_proxy_account '<winAccount>', '<password>'
-- EXEC sp_grantdbaccess '<winAccount>'
-- GRANT exec ON xp_cmdshell TO <winAccount> -- BCP command is inside a stored proc, so I run the stored proc as : Create Proc dbo.Export_Table with execute as '<winAccount>'
What I am I missing? I can run the stored proc in SQL Managaement studio using that windows account.
I don't get the error when I use the Visual Studio Developement Web Server, the export file is created without any problem.
I get the error only when I run my .Net web page though IIS.
Please help.
Thanks
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!
Hi, folks:
View 18 Replies View RelatedI 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,

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?

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
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.

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;
}
}
else
{
return FALSE;
}
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.
I'm trying to export data from a SQL Server 2005 database to a DB2 database through SSIS. However, I keep getting an error that says "Could not retrieve table list" with Invalid Conversion. SQLSTATE=07006. Does anybody have any ideas or what the problem could be?

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.

Hello,
I am using BCP to export a Table to a TAB delimited file. This works great, but in some fields a NULL in the Table is being exported as a character zero in the Tab file. I confirmed this by looking at the Tab file with a Hex editor.
I am using the BCP options -T c -S.
Thanks for any ideas how to eliminate the chr(0).

Hi All,
I have just one confusion which I want to clear
In logshipping if I insert records through bulk commands in primary database so those records will reflect on the secondary database or not coz as per my knowledge records which we insert through bulk commands will directly update the .mdf file of the database.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,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, ...

But, can I make a bulk xxx without a file??
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am working on an application that is to read a large number of XML files, take out specific values from each file, and store these in a SQL server so that reports can be generated from these values. There are some 15-20,000 files for each month of the year. I am OK with parsing the files and getting the fields that I need but I don't want to insert one record at a time as I parse the files. I was told that I can create a .exe file that parses the xml files and stores the required values in a csv file and use these csv files to initiate a bulk insert, using Business Intelligence Studio. I have not been able to find any info or article on how to do this. Any help on how I can accomplish this, or alternate solutions is greatly appreciated.

I am trying to do a bulk insert from a data file into a linked access database. When I run the query I get the error message:
'Server: Msg 4801, Level 16, State 81, Line 1
Bulk_main: The opentable system function on BULK INSERT table failed.
Not sure what the problem is because BOL just says to check Microsoft.com for updated error message information. However, when I went to the site there was no updated information. Has anyone else seen this error? If so, have you figured out the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
I have a question...As per my knowledge bulk copying is not possible during the backup operation. If backup starts first backup will go and bulk copy will fail or bulk copy starts first backup fails and bulk copy will continue...
Today I was testing bcp to run in dts using the EXCUTE PROCESS TASK (with this task we run any Win32 Excutable or batch file). I am trying to bcp out from one database(source) and bcp in to another database(destination). While running this package backup also running...
I have started the database (destination) backup job and it was running and I started another job to run the dts (even I ran dts manually). Both the josbs succeeded and inserted the data into the table....
Can any one shed some light on this ....
Thanks,

Hi,
Which is a faster method -- bulk insert or BCP
And I assume DTS has no problem handling either one? The input files are between 400 meg and 1 gig.

How does one perform a bulk insert?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe've been using Bulk Insert to load our tables. But, recently we encountered this error message "There is insufficient system memory to run this query. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 701). The step failed."
Then, our DBA suggested that we use BCP. It seems to work fine until the file size exceeds 30MB. This is the message I get "Starting copy... 0 rows copied. Network packet size (bytes): 4096 Clock Time (ms.): total 14984. Process Exit Code 0. The step succeeded." Is this a known problem?
Then, we decided to use DTS. DTS seems to be able to handle any file size but it's a slower process than the other 2. Any suggestions?
