"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 2 Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)". Unfortunately, I cannot provide the contents of StudyTable.csv, to protect the privacy of the company we're working for. EDIT I can vouch for the validity of the csv file though. It was exported from OpenOffice's version of Excel, and I went through and made sure it was valid.

The below is the code I use with a comma deliminated file where the new rows are indicated by new line characters: BULK INSERT MyTable FROM 'C:\myflatfile.txt' WITH ( FIELDTERMINATOR = ',' http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15161088/bulk-insert-failed-bulk-load-data-conversion-error-truncation ,ROWTERMINATOR = '/n') GO It consistently works, yet now on a simple file with a date and rate, it's failing with the error of "Msg 4863, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Bulk load data conversion error (truncation) for row 1, column 2 (ColumnTwo)." When I look at the file, I don't see why this would fail (usually the Google troubleshooting indicates that the delimiters may exist multiple times in a line, which would raise this error). From the file, here are the first ten lines (note that it fails on the FIRST line): 1961-01-01,8.2 1961-02-01,8.2 1961-03-01,7.4 1961-04-01,7.6 1961-05-01,7.8 1961-06-01,8.5 1961-07-01,9.1 1961-08-01,8.8 1961-09-01,8.4 1961-10-01,8.8 The table I'm inserting these data into has two fields thare are VARCHAR(50), even though when I initially saw the truncation I expanded the data fields to VARCHAR(2000) and it didn't affect it. CREATE TABLE MyTable ( ColumnOne VARCHAR(50), ColumnTwo VARCHAR(50) ) I also tried removing all the dashes to see if that was messing up things (even though I've done plenty of data imports with dashes using this same code and it works without error), and it still received the same error message. A direct import works (through Tasks) as does SSIS, but what about this code is failing,

SQL Server (bug id: 592960) You are trying to bulk insert directly from a data file to a data table? From the article, there is a mismatch in data types or truncation. The SQL engine has a bug that does not report this as an error. Quote from first person reporting the bug - "Inspite of the severity level being 16 I don't see the error being caught by TRY / CATCH construct. The code doesn't break and proceeds smoothly as if no error has occurred." Have you investigated what fields that may

Bulk insert data conversion error (truncation) for row 1 P: 8 girl Hi i have a problem with MS SQL server 2000 and hope to seek for some advise. i have the following samples aa|0|abcdefg| b|0|abcdefg| i used the bulk insert in the query analyser.. BULK INSERT adl_ntid from 'C:/abc.unl with ( FIELDTERMINATOR = '|', ROWTERMINATOR = '|\n' ) but they prompt me Bulk insert data conversion error (truncation) for row 1, column 3 (NAME). when i open in notepad, there is a square icon seperating my data. and i think this is the reason for the unsucessful insertion into my database. i had looked into UNICODE DATA. but could not solve the problem hope i can get some help Jun 5 '07 #1 Post Reply Share this Question 7 Replies Expert 2.5K+ P: 3,235 Motoma My first piece of advice would be to analyze the text file using a hex editor to try to determine what character is getting put there. My first thought is that the file was saved on a Unix system and that you may have incompatibilities with the different style line breaks. Jun 5 '07 #2 reply P: 8 girl hI thnx for your help. i had tried my textfile using the hex editor and it shows that my rows terminator is a linefeed. i can insert the data using DTS import export file but when i tried implmenting in query analyser it still prompt me the same error BULK INSERT abc FROM 'C:/abc.unl' WITH ( FIELDTERMINATOR='|', ROWTERMINATOR =' "+CHAR(10)+" ' ) BULK INSERT abc FROM 'C:/abc.unl' WITH ( FIELDTERMINATOR='|', ROWTERMINATOR =' {LF}' ) once again thnx for your help Jun 6 '07 #3 reply Expert 2.5K+ P: 3,235 Motoma I overlooked the error message...What is the data type for the field that is giving the problem?

What size? This is a truncation error. That typically means that the data you are trying to insert will not fit in the field you are putting it in: you may have a varchar(4) and be inserting 8 characters. Jun 6 '07 #6 reply
