I 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
Hi All,I have an asp.net 2.0 app that needs to bulk load data from an xml file into a Sql Server (Express) table. Is there an easy way to do this?Thanks,Claude.
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
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).

SELECT from openrowset(BULKÂ '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.
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.
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?
I want to load a table from a file. My file has a fixed length(fixed block) and have the same fields of the table. I need the right sintaxis, because The next with errors:
"load from file1 insert into table1"
ANY ADVICE will be greatly apreciatted because I'm not an expert in databases. Thank you veru much.
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?
I 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 = ' ' ) GO
The error is : Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 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?
I am trying my first bulk update to an existing SWL table from a CSV text file,The text file naming is exacrtly the same as the SQL table, with the same attributes

We are working on a DataWarehouse app. The DW has been loaded wiith transactional data from the start of September. and we want refresh the DW with a full load from the original source. This full load wil consist largely of the same records that we loaded initially in the DW but some records will be new and others will have changed.
During the load I want to direct input records NOT already in the DW to a "mods" table and ignore those input records that alreayd exist in the DW. Can SSIS help out with this task?
I have a requirement to load bulk of csv files to sql table. some times, some columns could not come in csv file(some times 100 columns and some times 80 cloumns). That time the package is getting failed. How to create a table dynamically based on csv file structure.
How do I do a bulk insert into a temp table from a text file. Text file looks like that: Â ver_id TYPE E57AB326-803C-436E-B491-398A255C919A 58 34D2A601-6BBA-46B1-84E1-3A805FDA3812 58 986E140C-62F1-48F1-B428-3571EBF00DA0 58
My statement looks like this:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblTemp]([ver_id] Â [nvarchar](255), [TYPE] [smallint])Â GO BULK INSERT [dbo].[tblTemp] FROM 'C:v2.txt' I keep receiving errors.
The error I receive is: Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 1, column 2 (TYPE).
I have numerous jobs that use the Bulk Load object to transfer data. Once or twice a day, one of the jobs will fail with the folowing error: Error: 0xC0202009 at Data Flow Task, SQL Server Destination [73]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E14 Description: "Could not bulk load because SSIS file mapping object 'GlobalDTSQLIMPORT ' could not be opened. Operating system error code 8(Not enough storage is available to process this command.). Make sure you are accessing a local server via Windows security.". Error: 0xC0202071 at Data Flow Task, SQL Server Destination [73]: Unable to prepare the SSIS bulk insert for data insertion. After receiving this error, any job that uses the bulk load object that attempts to run will fail with the same error. After restarting the SQL Server service, all jobs will run ok. I can find virtually nothing on this particular error so if you have seen it before please let me know. This has become a maintenance nightmare!
Im bulk loading a ton of data into MSSQL SERVER 2005 Standard Edition. I used to do this process in version 2000. It seems there is some more overhead in 2005. Is there a way to drop logging to almost null to speed up insert?
Overall goal: Write a Bulk Insert statement using the UNC path of a filetable directory.
Issue: When using the UNC path of the filetable directory in a Bulk Insert Statement, receiving "Operating system error code 50(The request is not supported.)" Looking for confirmation as to whether this is truly not supported.
Environment: SQL Server 2012 Standard. Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard
I am working on an HR project and I have one final component that I am stuck on.
I have an Excel File that is loaded into a folder every month.
I have built a package that captures the data from the excel file and loads it into a staging table (transforming a few bits of data).
I then combine it with another table in a view.
I have another package that loads that view into a Master table and I have added a Slowly Changing Dimension so that it only updates what has been changed. (it’s a table of all employees, positions, hire dates, term dates etc).
Our HR wants to have this data in a report (with charts and tables) and they wanted it to be in a familiar format. So I made a data connection with Excel loading the data into a series of pivot tables.
I have one final component that i cant seem to figure out. At the end of every year I need to capture a count of all Active Employees and all Termed employees for that year. Just a count.
The data is in one table labeled [EEMaster]. To test the count I have the following.
SELECT COUNT([PersNo]) AS HistoricalHC FROM [dbo].[EEMaster] WHERE [ChangeStatus] = 'Current' AND [EmpStatusName] = 'Active'
this returns the HistoricalHC for 2013 as 418.
SELECT COUNT([PersNo]) AS NumbOfTermEE FROM [dbo].[EEMaster] WHERE [ChangeStatus] = 'Current' AND [EmpStatusName] = 'Withdrawn' AND [TermYear] = '2013'
This returns the Number of Termed employees for 2013 as 42.
I have created a table to report from called [dbo.TORateFY] that I have manually entered previous years data into.
hi all, I am getting this error when I try to insert an image or update the database image. I am the owner of the database. I am trying to insert or update using an ASP.Net form (published) from a remote computer. Recently I changed a few permissions (added a user with login name and password) to that database to allow Reporting services access to all my group employees. Earlier everything was working absolutely fine. But now it is denying permissions when I try to insert or update the data when I access it from a remote system. I am able to get the data incase I do a get using the ID. But if I start the application on the localhost (Start Debugging) then its working fine and i am able to insert the data. Can someone suggest what could be wrong? Check it out!!!! There is an exception!!!!!

Is there a way to use the script file from one database to load all the stored procedures into another database? I have used DTS to do them one at a time since the SQL task is very limited in the amount of text that it will handle. There has to be a way to use a script filel with all of the procedures in it to load a new database. Any suggestions are appreciated.
I am trying to configure a bulk table upload from a 2003 Access table to a matching table in SQL with SSIS. I can configure the source file but am unable to configure the destination. When I configure the SQL source and use SQL Native Client I get an error message of:
The selected connection manager uses an earlier version of a SQL server provider. Bulk insert requires a connection that uses a SQL server 2005 provider.
When I go through the new connection setup I don't see any available provider named like that. I believe the SQL server I am loading to is a 2003 version.
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON SET ARITHABORT ON SET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL ON SET ANSI_NULLS ON SET ANSI_PADDING ON SET ANSI_WARNINGS ON SET NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT OFF
before I do a bulk load because the table I am inserting into has an indexed view created on it. Whats the best way to set these options prior to a bulk load?
Can 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.
