Please help!

Hi,
for testing purposes I'm inserting a flat file into a sql-server table using BULK INSERT unsig the following code:
BULK INSERT rsk_staging
FROM 'c: empulk
sk.txt'
WITH (
FIELDTERMINATOR = '',
ROWTERMINATOR = '
',
CODEPAGE = 'RAW',
DATAFILETYPE = 'char',
BATCHSIZE = 100000,
ROWS_PER_BATCH = 1925604,
TABLOCK
)
I have two versions of "rsk.txt" one with 1.9mill rows and one with the first 2000 rows only. The files have one column only with 115 characters that I'll split in to several columns later using SUBSTRING. The one with 2000 rows fires in to the database with no problems whatsoever using this exact code, the other one throws the following error:
Server: Msg 4866, Level 17, State 66, Line 1
Bulk Insert fails. Column is too long in the data file for row 1, column 1. Make sure the field terminator and row terminator are specified correctly.
How can I resolve this problem?
EDIT: I tried several different row- and fieldterminators but this exact one works for the small data-file so I assume it should also work for the large one...the large one is however copyed directly using binary ftp from a unix-filesystem and the small one is manually copied into a new txt-file using UltraEdit.
I am using SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2012. I have a very simple SSIS package with a Data Flow task that exports from an OLE DB Source to a tab-delimited unicode Flat File Destination and a Bulk Insert task that loads from the file. Both the Flat File Destination and Bulk Import are using the same code page. The Bulk Insert task is using the wide char format to read from the file. The process works fine with nvarchar and int columns, but when I add a unique identifier column it fails with "type mismatch or invalid character for the specified code page".
View 5 Replies View RelatedHello,to accelerate loading xml data from many files into a table using openrowset (bulk...) I want to use a variable in the file specification and increment it within a loop similar to this:
declare @datnam varchar(100);
DECLARE @MyCounter int;
SET @MyCounter = 1;
set @datnam = 'c:XML_DatenPOS_LOG_200608_'+ltrim(str(@MyCounter))+'.xml';

AS MSG_CONTENT) AS R(MSG_CONTENT)
But I got the following error:

Incorrect syntax near '@datnam'.
Is there a way to this in that manner?
Or is the bcp utility an alternative?

I am trying to import some data from csv files. When I try it using bulk insert I get a conversion error. When I use the exact same format file and data file with an openrowset it works fine. I would prefer to use the BULK insert as I can make some generic stored procedures to handle all my imports and not have to code the column names in the SQL. Any suggestions?
BULK Insert stuff
From 'c:projects estdatalist.txt'
with
(FORMATFILE='c:projects estdatamyformat.xml')
insert into stuff (ExternalId, Description, ScheduledDate, SentDate, Name)
select *
from OPENROWSET (BULK 'c:projects estdatalist.txt',
FORMATFILE='c:projects estdatamyformat.xml')
as t1
The destination table has more columns than the data file. The Field IDs represent the ordinal position of the columns in the destination table. Column 1 in the destination table is an int identity. The conversion failure is from trying to convert column 5 to int which makes me think bulk insert is ignoring the name attributes in the XML and just trying to insert the columns into the table in order without skipping.

The problem is as follows:
When I execute queries that utilize the OPENROWSET command they fail on both our Production and Test servers (they are identical installs of OS and SQL server 2005 sp2). Checked permissions, file is on local drive, connection string is correct, etc. If I restart the SQL service it works OK for acouple of weeks, then fails agin until I restart the service.
I have searched and posted this issue to couple of Newsgroups without any luck. The response I am seeing is restart the service. The issue seems to be limited to the the Jet and MDASQL providers. Below are some examples of queries that are failing until the service is restarted. Any information would be helpful.
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'D:Test_MailLogData.mdb'; 'admin'; '', tblMailLog)
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('MSDASQL', 'Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)};DefaultDir= D:;',
'select * from book1.csv')
I have a Windows 2003 64-bit server running SQL 2005. I am trying to run an OpenRowSet query, but I am getting ""cannot create instance of linked server" (null)" The OpenRowSet I am trying to run was running perfectly fine on the same machine before we moved to SQL 2005 and runs fine on many other machines - so I do not think it is an issue with the openrowset itself.
When I've had his issue on other machines, I have run the following:
sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO
sp_configure €˜Ad Hoc Distributed Queries€™, 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO
And I could then run the Ad Hoc queries fine. But, when I try on this machine, I get the SQL error message:
"The configuration option does not exist, or it may be an advanced option."
I looked at the settings in SQL Server Surface Area Configuration and Ad Hoc was selected; so it should be working. I am logged in as Administrator and have sysAdmin permissions in the SQL database. I'm not sure where else to look or what I am missing.
I've looked many places on the web and have tried many 'solutions' without effect.
Any thoughts??
I'm experiencing issues importing XML data using a distributed query with the following statement which is run from an XP client named WorkstationA connecting to SQL2005 SP2 ServerB, the XML data is located on ServerC.
AdHoc Queries using OpenRowSet has been enabled and verified.
The SQL Server service is running using a domain user account with permissions to read the remote files. I have logged in locally to the SQL server and verified this. It still fails even if the SQL services are running using LocalSystem.
User on Workstation A is authenticated with Integrated security (SQL Admin) and has rights to read the XML files on ServerC.
WorkStationA = SQL2005 Mgt Studio running the query
ServerB = SQL2005 SP2
ServerC = XML data files
DECLARE @xml XML
SELECT @xml =CONVERT(XML, bulkcolumn, 2)
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK '\SERVERCSHAREPATHDATAFILE.XML', SINGLE_BLOB) AS x
SELECT @xml
Results: Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Cannot bulk load because the file "\SERVERCSHAREPATHDATAFILE.XML" could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access Denied).
The query fails when it is run from Workstation A connected to SQL ServerB querying data on ServerC via a UNC.
The query is succesful when it is run from the local SQL ServerB. The problem is with distributed queries.
The query is succesful when the XML files are local to the SQL server including referencing them via a local UNC
Thank you for any responses.

Hi
I have a page that bulkinsert data to my sql server, I build up the bulk insert part like this....
1 sb.Append("Exec p_BulkInsertPDI '<ROOT><PROT>")
2
3 sb.Append("<PDI NID=""" & HiddenField1.Value & """ AID=""" & HiddenField1a.Value & """ MID="" GID="" UID=""" & UserID & """/>")
4
5 sb.Append("</PROT></ROOT>'")The problem I have here is that sometimes the AID value doesn't have any value beacuse on the previous page haven't sent any value to that hiddenfield. So when I try to run this, I get a error message like this... "Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value 'AID=' to data type int".It would be the best if I could insert Null values if no value have been provided. Is this possible to do? Regards
I'm setting up a new 2005 server and bulk insert from a client workstation (using windows authentication) is failing with:
Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot bulk load because the file "\FILESERVERNAMEsharedfolderfilename.txt" could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.).
Here's my BULK INSERT statement (though I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with it):
BULK INSERT #FIRSTROW FROM '\FILESERVERNAMEsharedfolderfilename.txt'
WITH (
DATAFILETYPE = 'char',
ROWTERMINATOR = '',
LASTROW = 1
)
If I run the same transact SQL when remote desktopped into the new server (under the same login as that used in the client workstation), it imports the file without errors.
If I use the sa client login from the client workstation (sql server authentication) the bulk insert succeeds.
My old SQL 2000 server lets me bulk insert the file without errors even from my client workstations using windows authentication.
I have followed the instructions on this site: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=928173&SiteID=1
, but still no luck and same error.
I'm pretty sure it is being caused by the increased constraints on bulk insert in 2005. Hoping someone can help. The more specific the better. If you need more info, let me know.
Oh and I've also made sure that the SQL service uses a domain logon account rather than the local system account (this would work on the 2000 server, but not 2005).
Note that the file server (source file resides there) is a DIFFERENT machine than the 2005 SQL server. If I move the source file to the sql server machine the error goes away (not a preferred solution though).
I'm almost positive that what I need to do is make sure that the SQL server is setup for delegation when a windows authenticated user attempts to bulk load a file from a second server.
Can someone provide instructions?
Thanks!
Has anyone had any experience using the openrowset function to access a dbase IV file? I can access the file using ADO from within VB but not getting anywhere using openrowset. If anyone knows the syntax or has an example it would be greatly appreciated.

Can I use OPENROWSET in Query Analyzer to connect to a text file in a SELECT statement and/or an INSERT statement? I need to move data from a text file to a SQL Server db. But, I can't figure out the right parameters for the OPENROWSET method. Thanks for any help.

Hi everyone,
I am currently using the OPENROWSET command to read a XML file.
-- Use OPENROWSET to read an XML file from the file system
SELECT @xml = BulkColumn
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'c:file.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) TempXML
However, the file I wish to process is being generated externally and published through a web server. The file is constantly being updated, and I need to have the latest data frequently. Is it possible to do something along the lines of:
-- Use OPENROWSET to read an XML file from the file system
SELECT @xml = BulkColumn
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'http://webserver/file.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) TempXML
If it is not possible, can someone recommend the best method to copy/download the file? I have considered standalone Windows Services and utilizing SQL Server. Are there significant pros or cons to either approach? Are there other methods I am not awere of? Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt K.
Hi There
I am using OPENROWSET to import a file from disk to a varbinary(max) column in sql server.
However as far as i can see OPENROWSET is only to import into Sql Server. However i need to reverse this as well, by that i mean export a varbinary(max) column data to a file on disk. How can i do this ? (The file is a compress text file).
How does this work for file types, i mean you can import any file as binary but when you export it back to disk will the file typr still work, will a .xls or a.exe imprted and exported like this still function 100%.
Thanx?

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?

I am using similiar query to above to create a excel file, however for this to work, I need to create a template file which has the same columns as the authors table.

Hi, recently I encountered the following problem:
I tried to execute a stored procedure on the newly installed SQL 2005 Server (now on x64 Win Server 2003) which imports an Excel-File into a DB table.
We use OPENROWSET to access the Excel data. But I recognized this is dependent on Jet OLE DB which seems is not available for x64 windows.
Is there another way to import excel data using a stored procedure.
thank you in advance, rene
Hi,
I have to write a query that queries a database table and a text file wich is delimited using fixed width values. I have seen some examples using access or another databse but not much about a text file. Is this the best way? Idon't want to set up a linked server. I want everything to be within the query.
My understanding is that I should be able to do it since a text file can be a valed OLE DB datasource, but I am having trouble finding example syntax. Can all my connection info be passed with the OPENROWSET function? Can I do it by just writing a query? Or do I have to set up and configure other things?
Any guidence, tips, advice, examples, or links of syntax appreciated.
Mike
It seems to me that files created on Unix machines with line terminator , or chr(10), cannot be imported using the Bulk Insert statement. Is this a bug, or an oversight by Microsoft? Does this mean that unless one replaces all with
, there is no way to use Bulk Insert to import Unix files? This is a very strange behavior by MSSQL. Even lessor programs such as Excel and Word automatically recognize chr(10) as a line termination character. Am I missing something, or is this just the way MSSQL is?
Hi
i want to access a CSV file using OpenRowSet function in SQL Server 2005.
Anyone having any idea; would be of great help.
Regards,
Salman Shehbaz.
I have a directory with images and a table in my DB with the path of each file. The main application allow me to create reports where I can display an image, so I was thinking to use a query like:
SELECT [ID]
,[PT_CODE]
,[FILE_PATH],
CASE WHEN [FILE_PATH] IS NOT NULL THEN
(SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK [FILE_PATH], SINGLE_BLOB) TT)
END
AS IMAGE_LOADED
FROM [DB].[dbo].[TABLE_MR_FILES]But I keep getting the error:
Incorrect syntax near 'FILE_PATH'.I have try multiple combinations without luck to make the OPENROWSET read the path stored in the column [FILE_PATH]. What am I missing?
Note: I am using MSSQL 2012. I don't want to import the images into the DB just load them in the fly as needed by the report runned from the application. I have full access to the DB so if a store procedure is the solution I can go with it.
I have a test server (TEST1) running SQL 2012 and Windows 2012R2. One of the developers wants to use OPENROWSET to read in data from an Excel 2010 file (an xlsx file).
I have loaded the Microsoft Drivers in "AccessDatabaseEngine_64.exe" and enabled the Ad Hoc Distributed Queries option in SQL.
This is the sample code we are working with:
SELECT
X.MEMBID
FROM OPENROWSET(
'MSDASQL',
'Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)};DBQ=etworkserverFolder1Folder2MEMBIDs.xlsx',
'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]'
) AS X
I can run the sample query from my laptop with SSMS (I have admin rights) and I can also run it as SA from my laptop. So all is good, right?
But if I RDC into TEST1, I cannot run the query. I get this error:
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Your network access was interrupted. To continue, close the database, and then open it again.".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver]General error Unable to open registry key Temporary (volatile) Ace DSN for process 0x574 Thread 0xb74 DBC 0x1d07f08 Excel'.".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver]General error Unable to open registry key Temporary (volatile) Ace DSN for process 0x574 Thread 0xb74 DBC 0x1d07f08 Excel'.".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)".But wait! It gets better.
I can run the query as SA from TEST1.
And of course, the developer can't run it either.
And it works fine in the production server.
I'm thinking the basics are there but something isn't right in some permission somewhere.
Maybe it worked once, but in most time it doesn't work, query like below
select top 10 *
from OpenRowSet('microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0','Excel 8.0;hdr=yes;database=\ws8webablefilessitefiles4000010
eibcactive.xls',
'select * from [crap2$]')
I got error
OLE DB provider "microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "Unspecified error".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
but the same query can run without any problem on a SQL 2000 server run on a server in the same network.
Any idea?
Hey 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();
