Bulk Copy Error: Received Invalid Row Length X From Bcp Client. Minimum Row Size Is Y

Jul 23, 2005

Hi,

I am attempting a bulk copy from a c program into SQL Server 2000 using
DBLib in freeTDS 0.63 RC11 (gcc 3.4.3, RH 9). I am getting an error message
that I cannot find any documentation on.

The server is sending back the following: "Received invalid row length 2
from bcp client. Minimum row size is 4."

I know the row is longer 2 bytes (see below). Once this happened I created a
test table and C program. See below. Anyone with any ideas?

Thanks

Program output ---------------->

Error: 17805, Severity: 20, State: 3 Invalid Buffer Received From Client.

Oct 11, 2004

Howdy Folks,
Our site has been experiencing this issue for a couple of months now.. Hopefully someone else can assist, as I’ve got to a point where I think issue lies within the application or a Microsoft bug. Web searches have reveled a number installations that have also had this error but its has not revealed an actual fix.

I understand this error code basically means data being returned to the client is getting either corrupted or the data is too large to fit into the buffer on the client side. Client in our case is the terminal server, here after called a application server

As the user base has increased form 5 to 20, I have noticed that the issue is occurring more frequently in comparison to when the company first started using the application /database. Its just about daily now...

The db server also has 8 other db's residing on it - but they are all less than 300 meg.

The attached PowerPoint doc has the trace info & the surrounding code for each process that has suffered a buffer error over a period of a week.

DB Server Environment: Win2000 SP4, SQL2000 SP3a, MDAC 2.7 SP1 refresh.
Application Environment: Written In house in VB.NET Framework 1.1 – setup as a published app on a terminal server – running windows 2000 SP4

Common features of the issue, that have been omitted from trace output for visibility reasons are:
-Involves 1 particular DB (thats accessed by VB app) & its developement db
-All connections are coming from 1 application server
-Issue does not relate to any particular site connecting to the application server using this application

I have reviewed & fixed several potential server side causes but this error still is occuring with in the environment:

MDAC versions must be common on application & server:
- Removed from equation by updating MDAC version on App server to be the same as DB Server: 2.7 SP1 Refresh

Network related
- Considered unlikely; we are also not experiencing network card errors on either server; also all db's would be experiencing connectivity errors.

Which leaves us with Application related options to review:
- Compilation error of application
- App parameter definitions to stored procedures are the correct data type
- Ensure values being passed do not exceed 4000 characters as that has also been known to create this error message
- I've asked the developer to review MS KB 827366 article, as it may be a valid test
- In regard to MSKB 832977 - I am not using pssdiag & have a later version of the MS Analyzer. But what I thought was interesting, is the statement that this problem occurs more frequently when an application submits a large remote procedure call (RPC) input buffer, especially when the RPC input buffer is greater than or equal to 8 KB. However, this problem may occur even if the input buffer is less than 4 KB
- A is using datatypes varchar & char - not nvarchar & nhar

Any assistance with this issue would be appreicated as server performance is being effected - these processes hang around for 1 - 5 mins before terminating (refer duration times in the powerpoint traces)

Thanks In advance

Suze.

Error - Output Param - SP - Size Property Has An Invalid Size Of 0

Nov 14, 2007

Using C#, SQL Server 2005, ASP.NET 2, in a web app, I've tried removing the size from parameters of type NCHAR, NVARCHAR, and VARCHAR.  I'd rather just send a string and let the size of the parameter in the SP truncate any extra chars if need be. I began getting the error below, and eventually realized it happened only with output parameters, as in the code snippet below.String[3]: the Size property has an invalid size of 0.   par = new SqlParameter("@BusinessEntity", SqlDbType.NVarChar);  par.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;  cmd.Parameters.Add(par);  cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();What's the logic behind this? Is there any way around it other than either finding out what the size should be, or assigning a size larger than would ever be needed? ThanksMike Thomas

Error: Invalid Length Parameter Passed To The SUBSTRING Function.

Sep 28, 2007

Hi,

I am using a simple procedure to pivot results (found in another forum and adapted it). It is done on SQL Server 2005 server with all service packs. Procedure:
**************
ALTER Procedure [dbo].[EthnicityPivot] @StDate as Datetime, @EndDate as Datetime
as
begin
DECLARE @Teams varchar(2000)

truncate table ForEthnicPivot

INSERT INTO ForEthnicPivot
SELECT DISTINCT COUNT(ID), Team, Ethnicity
FROM dbo._EthnicityByTeamEpisode
where Startdate between @StDate and @EndDate
GROUP BY Ethnicity, Team

SET @Teams = ''
--// Get a list of the pivot columns that are important to you.

SELECT @Teams = @Teams + '[' + Team + '],'
FROM (SELECT Distinct Team FROM ForEthnicPivot) Team
--// Remove the trailing comma

SET @Teams = LEFT(@Teams, LEN(@Teams)-1)
--// Now execute the Select with the PIVOT and dynamically add the list
--// of dates for the columns
EXEC( 'SELECT * FROM ForEthnicPivot PIVOT (SUM(countID) FOR Team IN (' + @Teams + ')) AS X' )
end
************

I can call the function:
exec EthnicityPivot '01/01/2007','09/09/2007'

and it works fine in SQL analyzer, but when I want to use it in Visual Studio in a new report I am getting this error
message:

There is an error in the query. Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function. Incorrect syntax near ')'.

Anyone had similar error and sorted it?

Cheers

Questions About Bulk Copy Insert Using 'Memory Based Bulk Copy Operations'

Feb 1, 2007

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

Odd Error Upon SqlDataReader.Read() Invalid Length Parameter Passed To The Substring Function.

Nov 12, 2003

An application I developed normally works great, but it seems that when processing a certian record (and none of the others so far), SQL Server throws this error:
"Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function."

Here's the code in question:

orderConnection.Open()
orderReader = orderCommand.ExecuteReader()
setControls(orderReader)

...

Private Sub setControls(ByVal dr As SqlDataReader)
If (dr.Read()) Then '<--*******problem line*******

The SqlDataReader (orderReader) doesn't blow up or anything until I call .Read() (and, as mentioned, this problem only occurs for one order). What could be happening here?

Varchar Minimum Length Check

Oct 7, 2007

Hi,

I have a column set to varchar(12) so I can ensure that the length of the string entered will never be more than 12 characters but I want to limit the string to a minimum of 8 characters, so I end up with a string that is from 8-12 characters long. How do I ensure the minimum length of 8 characters? I'm using SQL Server 2005 if that helps. I tried adding a check constraint like so:

DATALENGTH(UserName) >= 8

But I keep getting an error when I save the table, so any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Transact SQL :: Using Bulk Insert - Invalid Column Number In Format File Error

I try to import data with bulk insert. Here is my table:

CREATE TABLE [data].[example](

1  SQLCHAR 0  10 "@|@" 3 Col3 ""
2  SQLCHAR 0  6 "@|@" 4 Col4 Latin1_General_CI_AS

[Code] .....

The first column should store double (in col2 and col3) in my table

My file:

Get error:

Cannot bulk load. Invalid column number in the format file "R:cfgexample.fmt".

I changed some things as:
used ";" and "," as column delimiter
changed file type from UNIX to DOS and adjusted the format file with "

Removed this line from format file
1  SQLCHAR 0  10 "@|@" 2 Col2 ""
Nothing works ....

Questions About Memory Based Bulk Copy Operation(InsertRow Count,array Insert Directly,set Memory Based Bulk Copy Option)

Feb 15, 2007

Hi~, I have 3 questions about memory based bulk copy.

1. What is the limitation count of IRowsetFastLoad::InsertRow() method before IRowsetFastLoad::Commit(true)?
For example, how much insert row at below sample?(the max value of nCount)
for(i=0 ; i<nCount ; i++)
{
pIFastLoad->InsertRow(hAccessor, (void*)(&BulkData));
}

2. In above code sample, isn't there method of inserting prepared array at once directly(BulkData array, not for loop)

3. In OLE DB memory based bulk copy, what is the equivalent of below's T-SQL bulk copy option ?
BULK INSERT database_name.schema_name.table_name FROM 'data_file' WITH (ROWS_PER_BATCH = rows_per_batch, TABLOCK);

-------------------------------------------------------
My solution is like this. Is it correct?

// CoCreateInstance(...);
// Data source
// Create session

m_TableID.uName.pwszName = m_wszTableName;
m_TableID.eKind = DBKIND_NAME;

DBPROP rgProps[1];
DBPROPSET PropSet[1];

rgProps[0].dwOptions = DBPROPOPTIONS_REQUIRED;
rgProps[0].colid = DB_NULLID;
rgProps[0].vValue.vt = VT_BSTR;
rgProps[0].dwPropertyID = SSPROP_FASTLOADOPTIONS;
rgProps[0].vValue.bstrVal = L"ROWS_PER_BATCH = 10000,TABLOCK";

PropSet[0].rgProperties = rgProps;
PropSet[0].cProperties = 1;
PropSet[0].guidPropertySet = DBPROPSET_SQLSERVERROWSET;

if(m_pIOpenRowset)
{
if(FAILED(m_pIOpenRowset->OpenRowset(NULL,&m_TableID,NULL,IID_IRowsetFastLoad,1,PropSet,(LPUNKNOWN*)&m_pIRowsetFastLoad)))
{
return FALSE;
}
}
else
{
return FALSE;

Invalid Error Msg - 511 - Cannot Create A Row Of Size <rowlength> Which Is Greater Than The Allowabl

Nov 7, 2000

I was getting the follow error message when trying to update a
table from another table within a stored procedure:

Server: Msg 511, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot create a row of size 8455 which is greater than the allowable maximum of 8060.
The statement has been terminated.

The row size did not exceed 8060......
Also, If I make it an 'Insert' instead of an 'Update' it works.
It will Insert the data into table.

Any ideas?

Bulk Copy Export - Error 1314

Feb 25, 2008

I am trying to export a table to .CSV file using Sql 2005 BCP utility through .Net web page.
I get the following error: " An error occurred during the execution of xp_cmdshell. A call to 'CreateProcessAsUser' failed with error code: '1314'. "
I have done following steps:
   -- Set up proxy for a windows account using  command : sp_xp_cmdshell_proxy_account '<winAccount>', '<password>'
  --  EXEC sp_grantdbaccess '<winAccount>'
   --  GRANT exec ON xp_cmdshell TO <winAccount>   -- BCP command is inside a stored proc, so I run the stored proc as :  Create Proc dbo.Export_Table with execute as '<winAccount>'
What I am I missing?  I can run the stored proc in SQL Managaement studio using that windows account.
I don't get the error when I use the Visual Studio Developement Web Server, the export file is created without any problem.
I get the error only when I run my .Net web page though IIS.
Please help.

Bulk Copy Error With Snapshot Replication

Feb 4, 2002

I'm running SQL 7.0 SP3 on two different machines (one with additional hotfixes). I'm taking a nightly snapshot of imported data on Server1 and pushing it out to another SQL 7.0 server on our network, Server2. All but one table is copied successfully. On the final table, I receive the message, "The process could not bulk copy into table '"%"'."
Error Information Category: Data Source, Source: Server2, Number 4813.

Full error message: "Expected the text length in data stream for bulk copy of text, ntext, or image data."

I've looked up 4813, but it's pretty ambiguous/generic. Also, when I SELECT from Server1 and INSERT INTO Server2 in the QA, I receive no errors. Does anyone have any insight?

Error: The Process Could Not Bulk Copy Out Of Table '[dbo].[syncobj_0x3944323636373031]'.

Jun 18, 2007

SQL Server 2000 error message:

The process could not bulk copy out of table '[dbo].[syncobj_0x3944323636373031]'.



Snapshot replication was running fine up until last week. The e drive on the system failed. The server was rebooted and the drive returned. Since then the replication has failed. (e drive is the location of the database and log files)



The database is approx. 12 gig. I googled the error message an found several references to the drive being full. So I tried to map the replication to a different drive. The replication fails with the same error.



Also tried to drop and recreate the replication process. Still the same error.



Any other ideas?



TIA

SPROC Problem - String[1]: The Size Property Has An Invalid Size Of 0.

Sql 2005 ... Invalid Length Parameter Passed To The SUBSTRING Function.

Oct 9, 2006

Hi,
I am new at sql 2000 and 2005, I have created a package in 2005 which I am trying to execute on a daily bases by creating a job. At first because of security issues the job would not execute. Hence, I had to create a credential and a proxy to run the job with sa account. Now it is giving me this error,
€œSQLServer Error: 536, Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function. €œ
Through research I have no clue as what I need to do, or where to look.
The package runs without error when I execute the package itself.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Received Error Code 0x80040e57

Mar 8, 2007

I've check out that this error code says: A literal value in the command overflowed the range of the type of the associated column.

I received the error message when inserting large block data into a image column in SQL Server 2000. As I know, image support max 2G data to store. I use the C code function below to insert the data:

DBCreateParamBinary (hStmt, "", DB_PARAM_INPUT,&(pMonitorDBData->SampDat),NUM_SAMPLES_SETDBMONITOR*sizeof(float64) );

in which, the NUM_SAMPLES_SETDBMONITOR*sizeof(float64) stands for the data length by byte. and ,&(pMonitorDBData->SampDat) stands for the pointer address of the data block. (pls note: NUM_SAMPLES_SETDBMONITOR*sizeof(float64) = 4096*8=32768 bytes)

In addation, I've tried to use certain numbers instead of "NUM_SAMPLES_SETDBMONITOR*sizeof(float64)", and I found I could only set this value up to 8003 bytes.  If 8003 above, this error message would be received.

What should I do with this issue? Any help?
Thanks a million!

How To Bulk Insert A File With Fixed Row Length And No Row Terminator?

Jul 16, 2004

Hi 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
