Bulk Insert - Bulk Load Data Conversion Error
Jan 17, 2008
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'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).
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

hello,
I am working on an application that will import data from ascii tab-delimited files into corresponding tables in a sql server 2005 express db.
The problem I am facing is that i get errors when running bulk insert.
The tables all have one extra column which is a primary key identity value.
Additionaly, the column data types include:
int, bigint, nchar, nvarchar, datetime and bit
an example table looks like this:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[counties](
[id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[InternalID] [int] NULL,
[Active] [bit] NULL,
[Code] [nchar](10) COLLATE Greek_CI_AS NULL,
[Description] [nvarchar](50) COLLATE Greek_CI_AS NULL,
[StartDate] [datetime] NULL
)
An example data file looks like this:
InternalIDActiveCodeDescriptionDate
1 101Αι�„�‰Î»Î¿Î±ÎºÎ±��ν16/11/1909
2 102Α��γολίδο�‚29/04/1949
3 103Α��καδία�‚16/11/1909
4 104Ά���„η�‚ 16/11/1909
5 105Α�„�„ική�‚ 26/07/1943
So, what I do is:
1. for each table I generate a character format file with the following command:
bcp mydb..table format nul -f tableformat.fmt -c -T -S hostsqlexpress
2. I modify the format file to exclude the first identity column by zeroing the field length, the column order and terminator. The resulting format file looks like this:
9.0
6
1 SQLCHAR 0 0 "" 0 id ""
2 SQLCHAR 0 12 " " 2 InternalID ""
3 SQLCHAR 0 3 " " 3 Active ""
4 SQLCHAR 0 20 " " 4 Code Greek_CI_AS
5 SQLCHAR 0 100 " " 5 Description Greek_CI_AS
6 SQLCHAR 0 24 " " 6 StartDate ""
3. I run BULK INSERT
BULK INSERT tablename
FROM dataFile
WITH (
FIRSTROW=2,
FORMATFILE = formatFile
DATAFILETYPE = 'char'
FIELDTERMINATOR=' '
ROWTERMINATOR='
'
KEEPNULLS
)
As a result of the above configuration 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 2, column 5 (StartDate).

What am I doing wrong here? With previous configurations I got errors about the BIT fields. In general, I only receive errors... The only thing that worked was with a table that only had nvarchar. Is there a fundamental mistake in what i do? I have read many posts, but nothing specific about handling different data types with bcp and bulk insert.
I would appreciate any help, as I am running out of time
Thank you.

Is there a switch I can use to force a bulk insert and if data is truncated, I'm good with that. The truncated data, in this case, is not data I can use anyway if it is long enough to be truncated.
I need to keep the field at VARCHAR(23) and if I expand it, I won't be able to join on it after the file load completes. I'd like the data to be inserted (truncated if need be) and then I'll deal with the records that are truncated after I load the file.

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?

Hi,
Iam trying to import data from a csv file into my table in SQL Server 2000. My table is called as temp_table and consists of 3 fields.
column datatype
-------- -----------
program nvarchar(20)
description nvarchar(50)
pId int
pId has been set to primary key with auto_increment.
My csv file has 2 columns of data and it looks like follows:
program, description
"prog1", "this is program1"
"prog2", "this is program2"
"prog3", "this is program3"
Now i use BULK INSERT like this
"BULK INSERT ord_programs FROM 'C:datafile.csv' WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR=',', ROWTERMINATOR='', FIRSTROW=2)"
to import data into my table in SQL server and it gives me this error
"Bulk insert data conversion error (type mismatch) for row 2, column 3 (pId)"
I guess i have to use fileformat or something since i dont have anything for pId field in the csv file to make it work...
Please help me out guys and please post a snippet of code if you have.
Thank You.

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.

I am trying to use the Bulk Insert Task to load from a csv file. My final column is a bit that is nullable. My file is an ID column that is int, a date column that is mm/dd/yyy, then 20 columns that are real, and a final column that is bit. I've tried various combinations of codepage and datafiletype on my task component. When I have RAW with Char, I get the error included below. If I change to RAW/Native or codepage 1252, I don't have an issue with the bit; however, errors start generating on the ID and date columns.
I have tried various data type settings on my flat file connection, too. I have tried DT_BOOL and the integer datatypes. Nothing seems to work.
I hope someone can help me work through this.
Thanks in advance,

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 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!

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

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,
Tamim.

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 want to import the contents of a remote database every morning via a Web service to populate a data mart. I am looking for the most efficient way to do this. Step 1 is to use the Web Service Task in SSIS to grab the data and save to an XML file (since the content is far too large to store in the String data type).
For step 2, I can either use the SQLXMLBulkLoad object in VB Script to read in the file and populate the tables. Or I can using the XML Source object in Integration Services. It is clear that SQLXMLBulkLoad is the most efficient way to load data, but is the XML Source object in SSIS just a graphical representation of the SQLXMLBulkLoad object, or is it something else entirely that is inefficient because it requires loading of the XML content entirely into RAM before it can process the XML?
Any other suggestions are welcome.
SQL Server 2005 SP2.
Thank you,

I 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?

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

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.
Any suggestion? I'm new to SQL7
Thanks
Jason

Hello SQLTEAM

Columns in destination table are nvarchar (5) and nvarchar (8). I have tried using "

Any help appreciated.

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

My server updated from SQL2000 to SQL2005, SP2.
I found error in bulk insert: -
"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 1. Verify that the field terminator and row terminator are specified correctly.".
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'
)
Please advice, Thank you

I've got the following SP to automatically insert all files in a directory into the database:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE Imp_Header_PO_sp
@FilePath varchar(1000) = 'D:EBTOutbound',
@WIPPath varchar(1000) = 'D:EBTOutboundWIP',
@ArchivePath varchar(1000) = 'D:EBTOutboundArchive',
@FileNameMask varchar(1000) = '*Header.txt'
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
declare @Filename varchar(1000),
@File varchar(1000)
declare @cmd varchar(2000)
create table #Dir (s varchar(8000))
-- Move Header files to WIP
select @cmd = 'move ' + @FilePath + @FileNameMask + ' ' + @WIPPath
select @cmd = 'dir /B ' + @WIPPath + @FileNameMask
delete #Dir
insert #Dir exec master..xp_cmdshell @cmd
delete #Dir where s is null or s like '%not found%'
-- Import file
while exists (select * from #Dir)
begin
select @FileName = min(s) from #Dir
select @File = @WIPPath + @FileName
select @cmd = 'bulk insert'
select @cmd = @cmd + ' POWebOutHeader'
select @cmd = @cmd + ' from'
select @cmd = @cmd + ' ''' + replace(@File,'"','') + ''''
select @cmd = @cmd + ' with (Fieldterminator = ',')'
-- Import the data
exec (@cmd)
-- remove filename just imported
delete #Dir where s = @FileName
-- Archive the file
select @cmd = 'move ' + @WIPPath + @FileName + ' ' + @ArchivePath + @FileName
exec master..xp_cmdshell @cmd
end
drop table #Dir
END
GO
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?
Thanks,
Laura

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?
