Using Bulk Insert With SQL Server 2005
Aug 29, 2006
I have a web page that prompts a user to select a csv file. Using a Bulk Insert the data is loaded into a SQL Server 2005 table.
I have been using the Bulk Insert with SQL Server 200 with no problems, but with 2005 I am getting the error "You do not have permission to use the bulk load statement".
My web.config file has the following connection string:
[code]
<add key="connectionString" value="Server=(local);Database=BroadCastOne;trusted_connection=true" />
[/code]
I've given bulkAdmin role to the ASPNET user. It's still not working. What am I doing wrong?
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Ninel

I'm trying to import data from flat file in table and have fewproblems.1.Field Delimiter is ',' (comma). If ',' occurs in quotedstring it is still treated as field delimiter. This is BUG or ?2.In table I have datetime field that can be null, but bulkinsert reports error if in flat file is null or ''. It's OK only whenreal date is specified.Table:create table AttachmentList (Code integer not null,ClassID integer null,Description varchar(200) null,ValidUntil datetime null,constraint PK_ATTACHMENTLIST primary key (Code))flat file.1,13,'Naputak, CU 261098', ''Thanks in advanceDavor

I'm trying to set up a BULK INSERT Format File for some data that I've been sent, which, according to the data documentation, comes in fixed-width format fields (no delimiters except for end-of-row 0D0A) in SQL-Server 2005 Express.
The following is the first line...
"7999163 09182003 56586 56477 3601942 1278 22139 1102 113 118 51450 1 1 63535647 10000
7999162 09182003 56586 56477 3601942 1279 22139 1102 113 118 51450 1 1 63535647 10000 "
Looking with a hex editor, all the above whitespace are 20's.
From the documentation, I've constructed the following table...
CREATE TABLE MQIC.DBO.ORDER_F
(
TRACER_ID NUMERIC (10,0),
DB_CREATE_DATE CHAR (8),
DB_UPDATED_DATE CHAR (8),
CREATE_DATE_KEY NUMERIC (10,0),
ORDER_DATE_KEY NUMERIC (10,0),
PATIENT_KEY NUMERIC (10,0),
ORDER_KEY NUMERIC (10,0),
PROVIDER_KEY NUMERIC (10,0),

DURATION NUMERIC (4,0),
NUMBER_OF_VISITS NUMERIC (3,0),
ACTIVITY_TRACER_ID NUMERIC (10,0),
AGE_KEY NUMERIC (10,0)
)
To Bulk Insert this, I've written the following...
BULK INSERT MQIC.DBO.ORDER_F
FROM 'E:MDataOrder_F.txt'
WITH
(
FORMATFILE = 'E:MDataOrder_F_format.txt'
)
and written the following format file...
9.0

However... actually running this gives the following error...
Msg 4863, Level 16, State 4, Line 1
Bulk load data conversion error (truncation) for row 1, column 13 (EXISTENCE).
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1

Since this is my first time with this, I read the BOL items on Bulk Insert, Format Files, and each of the formatting attibutes, and made up two line "toy" examples for SQLCHAR and SQLINT, including two columns - all worked as expected.
It seemed that only SQLNUMERIC/SQLDECIMAL fell apart.
Even the following trivial example doesn't work for this field of data...
"7999163 "
CREATE TABLE MQIC.DBO.ORDER_F
(
TRACER_ID NUMERIC (10,0)
)
and
9.0

which give this error...

Invalid data for type "numeric".
The statement has been terminated.
or

Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1

Also - there was the DB_CREATE_DATE and DB_UPDATED_DATE CHAR (8) were supposed to be dates in the format of mmddyyy but clearly there is no Date datatype in SQL-Server. I would suppose these need to be converted, but am unsure how. What is clear is that the data was dumped from Oracle in text form,
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks!

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.

Ok being really new at using SQL server, I have a simple question.
I am trying to use the "Bulk Insert" command to dump a zip code list into my database. Here is my problem.
I found details on the command at http://sqlserver2000.databases.aspfaq.com/how-do-i-load-text-or-csv-file-data-into-sql-server.html but when I create a procedure in the stored procedures section of my database, I cant figure out how to get it to run it.
I created the table, created the stored procedure, and tried to write some code in my web page to run it. But it is not executing.
Any thoughts? Please help I am absolutely LOST!

We use BULK INSERT to load client data into our program. One of our clients uses the character '²' (0xB2) as a field delimiter in their input files. This worked fine in SS2000 but is failing in SS2005. After some testing, it appears that any high-ASCII value has the same problem; if I set the delimiter to anything below 0x80, it works and with any value of 0x80 or higher it fails.
I've verified that the format file we're using is correct for all of the tested delimiter values. (|, , ², ~, and €). The database collation sequence is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS if that matters.
Is there a way I can force acceptance of high-ASCII values as delimiters in SS2005? Do I need to play with the system code pages or the collation sequence?
Any assistance gratefully received.

I 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

To the Forum,
Hello, i wanted to give the forum my current process flow to see if i am close or have some more work to do. The object is to import the data as fast as possible without loosing query responsiveness of the search on the web side. Any type of response will be greatly appreciated.
Current Process
I receive multiple product inventory lists form multiple vendors. These inventory lists are in many different formats like .xls format, .txt format, .csv format and .dbf format. My server converts the file format to raw .csv. The table is very large and will consist of millions of rows. Inventory comes in alphanumeric format.
Each of the inventory lists are NOT in the same format. What i mean by this is that there are different header names for the users inventory list than what matches our database table. For Example, a user may have an excel document with the header name "Amt" but our database table field name is "Amount". In order to make this import process automated I make a single mapping file for each user. This mapping file relates the users field header in their inventory file to that of the database table.
Currently I have a process converting all files to .csv format. Every 15 minutes a routine runs that converts the .csv to XML and then performs the import Bulk Insert routine. The process deletes the users entire inventory then imports to a "tempinventory" table, which then updates the inventory table. During this 15 minutes we may get 20 inventory lists to import which could be a half a million records. I have this inventory table indexed using the primary key which is the inventory number. This is the search criteria used (Inventory Number) on the web side. The import routine to SQL works quickly ONLY if Full-Text Index is turned OFF. I assume i need the Full Text Indexing on so the queries of the full inventory lists a fast response on the web side.
Assumed Issues
Right now if I were to turn off the Indexing for each import then we would have slow queries against the database on the web side.
To have one table with millions of rows that is constantly updated as well as queried at the same time is not efficient.
Assumed Corrections
Right now it seems that partitioning the table into 10 numeric partitions, one for each number would leverage the import routine as well as the web side search routine. I would then partition the alpha partition in 1 letter increments so we would have 26 partitions, one for each letter for a total of 36 partitions.
If I have the partitions seperated then it will be easier to update the seperate index as well as perform maintenance on the index, i assume this is correct.
Future Plans
I am upgrading the web side application to .NET 3.5 so we can take advantage of XLINQ and LINQ so our searches from the web side are faster and more efficient.
I am also looking into building a SilverLight application that will allow the user to install the application locally that will take their live database file and send updates to my server so they do not need to send in their inventory file at all and the inventory lists are live. This will alleviate the need to delete the users full listing in order to make a complete update. As stated above sometimes an update may just include updating the amount of only 2 of 40,000 rows.
I was also looking into db4o to see if it would be beneficial as well, http://www.db4o.com/, has anyone worked with this before in a similar manner?
Questions
I would like to make this process much more efficient from the import routine to the search routine. Is setting up the partitions as discussed a stable plan for both routines?
Is the BULK INSERT using XML to SQL the most efficient way of importing the data to SQL?
How would i handle the full text indexing to allow fast import routines without slowing down the web side searches?
After import of new data do i need to "update" the index as well?
What is a good set of "preventative maintenance" standards should i follow when dealing with this many table updates as well as the catalogs and table data?
I know there are benefits of using LINQ when querying the database from the web side but are there any other benefits that would fit into this current process?
As for the SilverLight application would it be beneficial for the user as well as me to have the application poll their database file to find changes and send only the updated values of the list to the server via XML, which is then updated by SQL?
I am unsure what is the best way to make this process as easy and automated as possible giving the user the fastest experience possible when searching from the web side.
Is this a smarter idea so i can track just the changes made by the user on their inventory list instead of importing the same redundant data they have?
Would implementing something like db4o be beneficial for this process, http://www.db4o.com/?
Please let me know if i am way off on this process or if there are some benefits that i am not using in this process. I have been doing a lot of research and this is what i have come up with so i wanted to ask the community what they thought about it as many heads are better than one. Please feel free to rip the process apart to, i take constructive criticism.
Thanks again.

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!

Hello,
I need help regarding bulk insert into sql server. basically i m making a customized webapplication to save all the file and directories saving it in an arraylist and then want to save the contents of that array list into sql server table. now my questions are:
1) should i use arraylist for this purpose(i mean is it fast as my data is too big)
2) how to save all the data from arraylist into sql server table with bulkinsert or smthing like that. i dont want to use insert query with looping through the arraylist, as it will take lot of time and resources.
hope you get my query.

I 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,
-Marc

I'm building a web application. I need to read data from a text or excel file and process the data and then store the result records into database. The record number is big. I can store the data record into database (SQL Server 2005) one at a time. I think it's slow. Is there any way to insert the data in bulk.
Thanks!

I am running the following:
BULK INSERT DB.dbo.[stblCLIENT]
FROM 'SERVER1downloadClient.txt'
WITH
(
FIELDTERMINATOR = 'Ø',
ROWTERMINATOR = ''
)
DB.dbo.[stblCLIENT] is on SERVER2. I receive the following error:
"Could not bulk insert because file 'SERVER1downloadClient.txt' could not be opened. Operating system error code 53(The network path was not found.)."
I am able to run a DTS package that imports the same text file from SERVER1 with no error.
Is BULK INSERT limited to importing text files from the server on which SQL Server is running or should I be able to BULK INSERT from another server on my LAN?

Hey There,
Here, is the example of Bulk Insert into SQL Server Table.
From Application you have to pass a XML string to a Stored Procedure and it will insert all data into table using that XML.
Example SP.
CREATE PROCEDURE StoredProcName
(
@strXML varchar(8000)
)
AS
Declare @intPointer int
exec sp_xml_preparedocument @intPointer output, @strXML
INSERT into tbl_plnd_insertion
SELECT Column1, Column2, Column3, Column4, Column5
FROM OpenXml(@intPointer,'/root/tbl_plnd_insertion',2)
WITH (Column1 varchar(20) '@Column1' , Column2 varchar(20) '@Column2', Column3 varchar(20) '@Column3' , Column4 varchar(50) '@Column4', Column5 varchar(50) '@Column5')
exec sp_xml_removedocument @intPointer
Thanks !!!!!

SQL Server 2012
I want to be able to run the following command from SSMS (as an ad-hoc query).
BULK INSERT Database_Name.dbo.Table_Name FROM 'serverfile.txt' WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = '|', ROWTERMINATOR = '0x0a', MAXERRORS = 0);
When I do I get:
Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot bulk load because the file "serverfile.txt" could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.).
I have full access to the file.I can do the same command successfully if the file is stored on a local drive on the server.
According to my DBA I can not run it with a remote file location because I don't have the SA permission. His solution is for me to create a job that runs the command. I have done so and the job works correctly.
Is he correct that there is no way for me to be able to run it from SSMS without SA permissions?

I'm able to successfully import data in a tab-delimited .txt file using the following statement.
BULK INSERT ImportProjectDates FROM "C: mpImportProjectDates.txt"
WITH (FIRSTROW=2,FIELDTERMINATOR = ' ', ROWTERMINATOR = '')
However, in order to import the text file, I had to add columns to the text file to match the columns that exist in the table. The original file is an export out of another database and contains all but 5 columns from my db.
How would I control which column BULK INSERT actually imports when working with a .txt file? I've tried using a FORMAT FILE, however I kept getting errors which I tracked down to being a case of not using it with a .txt file.
Yes, I could have the DBA add in the missing columns to the query from the other DB to create the columns, however I'd like to know a little bit more about this overall.

I need to load the following data into a SQL table. This is how the vendor is able to provide it to us.

I have attempted to bulk insert it into this table with no luck.
CREATE TABLE POMaster

It does not like the double quotes. How to make this format work? Do I need a format file?

I have to perform a bulk Import on a regular Basis and have created a script to do this. The Problem is that the .csv file has 12 Columns and the table to Import into has 14. To Workaround this discrepancy I have decided to use a Format file. The Problem is that how to create one.

I want to bulk insert data into a table named scd_event_tab inside a database named rdb.
When I do select * from rdb.dbo.scd_event_tab, i get :
JOB_ID RUN_ONPRIORITYPAYLOADTIMEOUT_INTERVALSTATUSPICKUP_TIMESCD_TYPESCHEDULE_IDDB_ADMIN_LOGIN_REQUIRED_YN
I saved the result into a csv file and then truncated the table. Now, I am trying to bulk insert the data into the table. So I used:
bulk insert
rdb.dbo.scd_event_tab from 'C:userssluintel.ctrdesktopeventtab.csv'
with
(
codepage = 'RAW',
datafiletype = 'native',
fieldterminator = ' ',
keepidentity,
keepnulls
);
go
However, I get this error:
Msg 4867, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Bulk load data conversion error (overflow) for row 1, column 1 (JOB_ID).
Msg 4866, Level 16, State 5, Line 1
The bulk load failed. The column is too long in the data file for row 1, column 3. Verify that the field terminator and row terminator are specified correctly.
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)".

I'm testing, with SQL 2014 on the same DB, a procedure that extracts data from a table into a file and Loads data from that file into a different table which has the same columns as the initial table (I use a function to create the create table statement from the source table and change the name of the destination table)
when doing my bcp -c the record with the special character "é" doesn't make it to the file.
when doing a bcp -w the record with the special character makes it to the file but the bulk insert omits the whole record.
The result file in the case that makes it to the file is unicode. I'm not using a format file (don't see the need for it)
The bulk insert into the destination table that contains identical columns as the source (a mixture on int, varchar, char) --> didn't work
I also tried by building the columns of the destination table with nvarchars -- Still doesn't work.
I tried the bulk insert with:
codepage = 'ACP, 'RAW' --> didn't change anything. still didn't work.
It's a complicated process that takes 1 XML record that contains information + the Create Table Statement (to eventually be able to this on a different server/DB) + the title Row for each column + the Data... Each of these are created with a BCP command (all with the same options). they are then appended to each other with a copy /B c:file1.txt + c:File2.txt + c:File3.txt + c:File4.csv c:ResultFile
Once the result file is created I bulk insert the 2 first rows in one table "TableA"
create the tmp table "TABLE B" with the create table statement that is in "TableA"
and do another bulk insert of the remainder of the file into the newly created table.
What else can I try? Should I be creating a format file? what are the benefits of a format file?
It's a very long procedure that does both Extract and Load (with 12 parameters) not sure what I should put here.

I am trying to BULK INSERT csv files using a stored procedure in SQL SERVER 2008R2 SP3. Although the files contain several thousand lines and BULK INSERT returns no errors, no data is actually imported into the table. Every field in the table is a NVARCHAR(50) datatype.
Here is the code for the operation (only the parameters for the insert itself):
set @open = 'bulk insert [DWHStaging].[dbo].[Abverkaufsquote] from '''
set @path = 'G:DataStagingDWHStagingSourceAbverkaufsquote'
set @params = ''' with (firstrow = 2
, datafiletype = ''widechar''
, fieldterminator = '';''
, rowterminator = ''
''
, codepage = ''1252''
, keepnulls);'
The csv file originates from a DB2 database. Using exactly the same code base I can import several other types of CSV files without problem.
The files are stored on the local server with as UCS2 Little Endian and one difference is that the files that do not import do not include a BOM. The other difference is that the failed files are non-UNICODE files.

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

I am trying to load a fixed width text file using `Bulk Insert` and a XML format file. I have used the same process and XML file on another fixed width, except with less columns.

I wasn't sure where to put this topic so I put it here since I figured it is a question that would apply to virtually any version even though I am using SQL Server 2005.
We have a vendor that sends us a fixed width text file every day that needs to be imported to our database in 3 different tables. I am trying to import all of the data to a staging table and then plan on merging/inserting select data from the staging table to the 3 tables. The file has 77 columns of data and 20,000+ records. I created an XML format file which I sampled below:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<BCPFORMAT xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2004/bulkload/format" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<RECORD>
<FIELD ID="RetNo" xsi:type="CharFixed" LENGTH="6"/>
[Code] ....
The data file is a fixed width file with no column delimiters or row delimiters that I can tell. When I run the following insert statement I get the error below it.
BULK INSERT myStagingTable
FROM '.........myDataSource.txt'
WITH (
FORMATFILE = '.........myFormatFile.xml',
ERRORFILE = '.........errorlog.log'
);
Here is the error:
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)".

Hi all,We have an application through which we are bulk inserting rows into aview. The definition of the view is such that it selects columns froma table on a remote server. I have added the servers usingsp_addlinkedserver on both database servers.When I call the Commit API of oledb I get the following error:Error state: 1, Severity: 19, Server: TST-PROC22, Line#: 1, msg:SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process 66 generated fatal exception c0000005EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process.I would like to know if we can bulk insert rows into a view thataccesses a table on the remote server using the "bulk insert" or bcpcommand. I tried a small test through SQL Query Analyser to use "bulkinsert" on a such a view.The test that I performed was the following:On database server 1 :create table iqbal (var1 int, var2 int)On database server 2 (remote server):create view iqbal as select var1,var2 from[DBServer1].[SomeDB].[dbo].[iqbal]set xact_abort onbulk insert iqbal from '\MachineIqbaliqbaldata.txt'The bulk insert operation failed with the following error message:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionCheckForData(CheckforData()).Server: Msg 11, Level 16, State 1, Line 0General network error. Check your network documentation.Connection BrokenThe file iqbaldata.txt contents were :112233If the table that the view references is on the same server then weare able to bulk insert successfully.Is there a way by which I should be able to bulk insert rows into aview that selects from a table on a remote server. If not then couldanyone suggest a workaround. I would actually like to know someworkaround to get the code working using OLEDB. Due to unavoidablereasons I cannot output the records to the file and then use bcp tobulk insert the records in the remote table. I need to have some wayof doing it using OLEDB.Thanks in advanceIqbal
