im trying to do a bulk insert & am getting the following 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.Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 1, column 3 (calling_natr_addr_ind).".
i have set the connectn timeout to 0, but the error persists.
I have am having some issues bulk inserting from a flat file (CSV) to the database. I have also tried this by using the import and export wizard and get the following error:
I dont understand what the issue. The table that i have created looks like this:
CREATE TABLE IderaPatchAnalyzer ( IP_Adresse varchar(64) NOT NULL, Release_ varchar(50) NOT NULL, Level_ varchar(50)NOT NULL, Edition_ varchar(50) NOT NULL,
[Code] .....
I have in the changed the outputcolumnwidth in Ip_Adresse to 64. The length of the cells are not near 50 however i want it to be sure that its not the case. When I try to do the same in my SSIS project, i also get an error. I do get a warning: Truncation may occur due to inserting data from data flow column """"KB Available""" with a length o..... in that column there are max 5 varchar: "yes" and "no". The """"KB Available""" is the column name in the flat file (CSV), I have made checkmark in Column names in the first data row.
I have used the following guide for my SSIS project:
My colleague is working on bulk insert task from SSIS and since the data file does not contain any valid delimeter one of the suggestion he got is to use a file format to address the issue. Thus a bcp command is used to generate the format file, as per below.
The file file format was generated, from the data flow we added the BULK INSERT task and set the properties accordingly including the File Format and location of the file. Upon running the task itself we encountered the error as per below.
[Bulk Insert Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Cannot bulk load. The file "C:HFISTAT.fmt" does not exist.".
Progress: The Bulk Insert task is completed. - 100 percent complete
Task Bulk Insert Task failed
Have checked the file and it is in C: drive and it is not protected or read-only. Validated the output file and it is as per expected. Any help would be appreciated very much.
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. Paul
Having searched the forum, this one clearly has form... However beyond assisting those who have fallen at the first hurdle (i.e. forgetting/not knowing that they cannot execute the package remotely to the instance of SQL Server into which they are inserting), the issues raised by others have not been addressed. Thus I am bringing nothing new to the table here - just providing an executive summary of problems which others have run into, written about, but not received answers for.
First the complete error: Description: Unable to prepare the SSIS bulk insert for data insertion. End Error Error: 2008-01-15 04:55:27.58 Code: 0xC004701A Source: <xxx> DTS.Pipeline Description: component "<xxx> failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202071. End Error DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_FAILURE (1). Started: 4:53:34 AM Finished: 5:00:00 AM Elapsed: 385.384 seconds. The package execution failed. The step failed.
Important points
It mostly works - It produces no error more than 9 times out of 10.
It fails on random dataflows - My package has several dataflows, (mostly) executing concurrently. Where the error occurs it does not do so on the same dataflow each time: on one run it'll fail on dataflow A whilst B,C,D and E succeed, then A-E will all succeed (and continue doing so for the next ten runs thereafter), and then the error recurs for dataflow D, with A,B,C and E all succeeding. Hope someone has something interesting to say,
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 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".
BULK INSERTtbl_ASX_Data_temp FROM 'M:DataASXImportTest.txt' WITH (FORMATFILE='M:DataASXSQLFormatImport.Fmt')
I am using 'OLE DB Destination' task in a data flow. When I select 'Table or view - fast load', check 'Table lock' and 'Check constraints' and run the flow, I get only one row inserted. The data flow edge shows hundreds of thousands of rows flowing to destination and the task completes (turns green).
The problem goes away if I uncheck bulk load (e.g., select 'Table or view').
Is fast load using bulk insert or some internal code?
I am using SSIS (2005) to insert records into a sql2k database and getting error:
The selected connection manager uses an earlier version of a SQL Server provider. Bulk insert operations require a connection that uses a SQL Server 2005 Provider.
Using the Bulk Insert Control Flow object is not an option because it requires the file be on the 2000 server and I am not able to create temporary tables on the 2005 server (some nutty security lockdown).
I would like to get the rowcount from a bulk insert task to validate that all the data is being inserted correctly. So far the only way that I can see this being done is through a trigger on the target tables. I would like to have this information inside the DTS package. Can anyone help me?
I have a confusion with Bulk Insert task for several days. Here is what Books Online say, which i totally understand--- "The source file that the Bulk Insert task loads can be on the same server as the SQL Server database into which data is inserted, or on a remote server. If the file is on a remote server, you must specify the file name using the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) name in the path."
Now, If my Bulk Insert task (within a package) is on one server, say ETL ( so when i run the package, it will run from ETL server); but, My destination table where data will be inserted, is in another server, say PROD. So, My OLEDB connection will be pointing to a remote server .Now, If my text file is on ETL server, do i have to give UNC path?..Or If i have text file on the same server as my destination ( here PROD) do i Have to Give UNC naming?. I found in several places that Bulk insert Task runs on that server where its connections points to. My scnerio: I have multiple SSIS packages. Now These packages will be on ETL server, but all the databases will be hosted on PROD server. Now for my Bulk Insert , I asked them to keep all flat file on ETL server(where packages will be ). Looks like this will give me a problem later, since all my Destination will be on PROD server, during bulk insert , sql server will go and look for those files on PROD server rather than ETL server? Or i AM confused here?...... Say package.dtsx is On SER1which useses bulk insert tasks.. My OLEDB connection is SERV2 database B and Table T Now my flat file connection is D:myfilefile.txt
Now when i run this task where does these txt file will be pulled from. Does it pulls from local server (SER1) or does it goes to SERV2 looking for txt file.
I tried several combinations of moving files to different servers, yet i have no conclusions.
I ran my package and it was successfu. I tried running it again, but this time it throws me this error:
Dim_T_Account [56575]: Unable to prepare the SSIS bulk insert for data insertion.
Error: 0xC004701A at CallerType, CallerChannel, Dealer, DODealer, HotlineType, Model, Reg'l Signal Code, Account, Contact, DTS.Pipeline: component "Dim_T_Account" (56575) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202071.

Why suddenly without changing anything, i encountered this error? What does it mean it cannot prepare the SSIS bulk insert. My connection to server is working ok.
I have created an SSIS package, in my VS2005 solution, that Bulk Inserts a CSV file (see example below) "100",2006-10-03 00:00:00,"HEX012",1"101",2006-10-03 00:00:00,"DS00130",1
I have a Bulk Insert Task that uses a Flat File Connection Manager to import my CSV file into my SQL2005 database. My source CSV file (see example above), has double quatation marks surrounding any text fileds. I have set the Flat File Connection Manager's 'Text Qualifier' to double quatation marks. The Bulk Insert works ok, but ignores the Text Qualifier. My database table is left with the original quatation marks in any text field. Any help appreciated. Regards, Paul.
I am looking high and low for some assistance with developing a VB .NET solution that I programmatically create a package and add tasks. I am adding a BULK INSERT task to load large FLAT TEXT files into SQL Server 2005 tables. When I execute the application I execute a package validation and it always returns FAILURE. I have been reading and searching like crazy and I have bought 2 microsoft books, TO NO AVAIL! Can anyone PLEASE help me with this. Thank you!
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.
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.
I have an SSIS Package which is designed to import log files. Basically, it loops through a directory, parses text from the log files, and dumps it to the database. The issue I'm having is not with the package reading the files, but when it attempts to write the information to the db. What I'm seeing is that it will hit a file, read 3000 some lines, convert them (using the Data Conversion component), and then "hang" when it tries to write it to the db.
I've run the SQL Server Profiler, and had originally thought that the issue had to do with the collation. I was seeing every char column with the word "collate" next to it. On the other hand, while looking at the Windows performance monitor, I see that the disk queue is maxed at 100% for about a minute after importing just one log file.
I'm not sure if this is due to the size of the db, and having to update a clustered index, or not.
The machine where this is all taking place has 2 arrays- both RAID 10. Each array is 600 GB, and consists of 8 disks. The SSIS package is being executed locally using BIDS.
I am using SQL Server Destinations in my data flow tasks. I'm running this package in the server until i encountered this error:

What could be the reason for this? I don't usually have an error.
I'm doing a bulk insert from a text file to sql server 7 I'm getting an error:
Server: Msg 4867, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Bulk insert data conversion error (overflow) for row 1, column 169 (LOT_WIDTH). Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 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.
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)
Please take a look and let me know what I am missing?
Thanks, Matt

I do read a few article saying that after apply SP2 and hotfixes, this error should be fix, but unfortunately, it is not in my case, what should i do to fix it?
This is my script: - BULK INSERT wng01_work..nw_business_person FROM 'g:SQLFTPCDIS_Extractew_worker.dat' WITH ( MAXERRORS = 1, FORMATFILE ='g:sqlftpcdis_extractew_work.fmt' )
When I try to execute the code, I get the following error, on this line: select @cmd = @cmd + ' with (Fieldterminator = ',')'
Msg 141, Level 15, State 1, Procedure Imp_Header_PO_sp, Line 46
A SELECT statement that assigns a value to a variable must not be combined with data-retrieval operations.
I've tried to find a fix for this error, but it seams to only relate to a select statement and not a Bulk Insert. Can someone please help me figure out how to fix this error?
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.
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?
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.
Hi, 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. Thanks, Nodbek
I use code below to upload a csv file to SQL but got an error said that
Msg 4860, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot bulk load. The file "C:Test.csv" does not exist. BULK INSERT Test FROM 'C:Test.csv' WITH ( FIELDTERMINATOR = ',', ROWTERMINATOR = '' ) GO
I have a query for bulk insert. It works fine. But when I use it today and run into following error message. error 7301:Cannot obtain the required interface ("IID_IColumnsInfo") from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".
SET @Sql = 'BULK INSERT #FVF_Tmp FROM ''' + @FilePath +'''' + ' WITH (BATCHSIZE = 100000,FIRSTROW = 2,TABLOCK, DATAFILETYPE = '''+ 'widechar' + ''')' EXECUTE (@Sql)
The @FilePath points to a .csv file
then use data in temp table inser into a permanent table.
