BULK INSERT ERROR Using Format File - Bulk Load Data Conversion Error
Jun 29, 2015I'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).

[SQL 2005 Express] How Do I Load Fixed Width Per Row Flat File? Bulk Insert Possible?
May 14, 2007I can't use DTS nor DTSwizard as I need to put it in a .sql and run it through a command line via .bat file (it's more for the users).
Each row ends with an EOL character, the fields are all fixed width, but I have a little problem here, some rows are empty but just with a EOL character.
How shall I go about it?
many thanks! :D
Bulk Load A File In A Table
Oct 30, 2014I have a file which has * as the field delimiter and ~ as the record delimiter, but I don't know how much columns each row will have. Only known is the maximum which can be 15.
The file looks something like: A1*A2*A3*~B1*B2~C1*C2*C3*C4*C5~
SO I have created a table with 15 columns(since 15 can be the max) but now when I try to insert it to that table, I inserts only the entire file into 1 single column.
The command which I am using is: BULK INSERT tablename FROM filename WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = '*' , ROWTERMINATOR = '~')
but this is not giving the correct output.
The output expected is
A1 A2 A3
B1 B2
C1 C2 C3 C4 C5

Dec 13, 2007Hi,
I am new to SSIS but i have avg working knowledge in sql.
My problem is as follows ,I have a text pipe dilimited file in some folder and the number of columns and the name of the column is not consistant. It can have N number of column and it can have any column names. I need to load this text file data into a sql table. All that i want is to load this file to SQL Database with some temp name. Once i get the table in SQL Database, i can match the column names of both taget table and this temp table and only push those column which matches with the target table. For this i can frame Dynamic SQL. This part is clear to me.
Now the problem is , I developed a SSIS pacakge to push the text file to SQL Table. I am able to do this. But if i change the column names or added new column SSIS is not able to push the new columns. Is this functionality available in SSIS, is it can be dynamic like this?
I hope i am clear with my prob... if need any clarification please let me know
thanks in advance

Bulk Insert - Bulk Load Data Conversion Error
Jan 17, 2008Im 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"

and this is the sql:
bulk insert tmp_GA_status from 'C: empTextDumpGA_status.dta'
with (CODEPAGE='RAW', FIELDTERMINATOR='|', ROWTERMINATOR='

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 ?

Bulk Insert Into Table With More Columns Than Data Within File
Jun 17, 2007Hey all
I have a bulk insert situation that would be nice to be able to pull off. I have a flat file with 46 columns that are to go into a table. The table, I want to have a 47th column to be updated later on by means of a stored proc saying if the import into the system was sucessful or not. I have the rowterminator set as '"' thinking that would tell SQL to begin on the next row, leaving the importstatus column null but i still receive an error.
First of all, is this idea possible within this insert statement. Secondly, if so, what would be the syntax to tell the insert statement to skip that particular column. It is the last column listed in the table so it just needs to start on the next row after it inserts the last bit of data in the flatfile.
If this is not possible, is it possible to bulk insert into a temp table?
Thanks
Bulk Insert - Flat File Data Into Table
Mar 12, 2015I am running a set of SQL statements on a SQL server, to insert flat file data into a SQL table. The flat file is already FTP'ed to the SQL server. I seem to be getting an error, which is possibly pointing to a permissions issue
The statements:
BULK INSERT [Jedox_prod].[dbo].[B_BP_Customer]
FROM 'c:jedox_dailyjdcom4401.txt'
WITH
(
FIRSTROW = 2,
MAXERRORS = 0,
FIELDTERMINATOR = '|',
ROWTERMINATOR = '

)

The error is :

Cannot bulk load because the file "c:jedox_dailyjdcom4401.txt" could not be opened. Operating system error code 3(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 1815)
If it is permissions issue, how do I overcome this?

SQL Server 2008 :: Can Bulk Insert Only Desired Column From A Flat File To Table
Mar 18, 2015Can we bulk insert only the desired column from a flat file to a table?
I am using SSIS to bulk insert from a file with more than 200 columns. I am trying to find a way I can bulk insert them to multiples table through SSIS.
The one way I can think is pre map the columns from the file to the destination tables. Build numerous Bulk Insert tasks to achieve that. But not sure if SSIS will let me do that.
Transact SQL :: How To Bulk Insert Rows From Text File Into A Wide Table Which Has 1400 Columns
Feb 3, 2010we can easily load a file into db tables. However, my main concern here is the number of columns in the file. A text file TEXT_1400.txt has 1400 columns. I am unable to load data to my db table using BCP or BULK INSERT commands, as maximum of 1024 columns are allowed per table in SQL Server 2008.
We can still go ahead and create ‘Wide Table’ (a special table that holds up to 30,000 columns. The maximum size of a wide table row is 8,019 bytes.). But when operating on wide table, BCP/BULK INSERT commands still fail. After few hours of scratching my head over BCP and BULK INSERT, I observed that while inserting BCP/BULK INSERT commands are unable to identify SPARSE columns and skip these columns, which disturbs column mapping and results in data conversion and trancation errors.
Is there any proper way to load this kind of files into the db table?

SQL Tools :: Cannot Bulk Load In Execute Task If File Is On Network (2014)
May 19, 2015SELECT from openrowset(BULK 'SERVERNAMEsomepathsomefile.csv'... fails while SELECT from openrowset(BULK 'c:somepathsomefile.csv' ... works.
I am running the task as a specific sql server user. If I run the same query in management studio using execute as login='batchuser', it also works for any path.
How can I make this work without an extra step moving the data to the local server? Because that would cause extra administration.
Cannot Bulk Load Because The File Could Not Be Opened. Operating System Error Code 5(Access Is Denied.).
Jan 23, 2007I am facing a issue with bulk upload on Test Server.
Issue: When running Openrowset command from SQL server other that Test Server query runs fine when trying to run the same command from Test Server it gives error.
Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot bulk load because the file "\ServerNameinputFileName.csv" could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.).
For example: If the command is run from System A connecting to SQL Server instance on Test Server Test Server it gives this error. If the same command with same rights is run from any other SQL server instance say Dev1 its running fine.
If the command is run from Test Server connecting to any SQL Server instance including Test Server it is running fine.
Tried: 1) Given the read/write rights on shared folder, to user under which the SQL server service is running on Test Server
2) Given the read/write rights on shared folder to everyone.
Query:
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM OPENROWSET
(
BULK '\ServerNameinputFileName.csv',
FORMATFILE='\ServerNameFormat.xml'
)
AS FileList
Please provide me with some solution. What can be the reason for such behaviour?
XML Format File For Bulk Insert Of Text File With Fixed Length Columns
Jan 2, 2008Hey 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.
Bulk Insert From A .csv File
May 5, 2006Hi 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

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.

Bulk Insert Of Text File . Please Help .
Jun 27, 2002Hi ,
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, 2001I 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 ?

How To Bulk Insert A File With No Row Terminator?
Jul 16, 2004Hi 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, 2005SQL 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!

Bulk Insert, Bcp For Import Log File In Sql
Mar 11, 2008i 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?
