Sql Server Bulk Insert Example
Posted-07/16/2014: 08:56:13 Hi. So far i can capture the overall error of a bulk insert. Truncate table [dbo].[dbfile]; Begin Try begin BULK INSERT [dbo].[dbfile] FROM 'C:\works\databasebulks\test.txt' WITH (MAXERRORS = 500000,LASTROW = 100, --CODEPAGE ='ACP', --CODEPAGE = '65001', --CODEPAGE ='1252', --CODEPAGE ='RAW', FORMATFILE='C:\work\databasebulks\dbxmlformatfiletests.xml'); end End Try Begin CATCH begin INSERT INTO [dbo].DBInsertErrors (ErrorNumber, ErrorSeverity, ErrorState, ErrorProcedure, ErrorLine, ErrorMessage, DateTimeStamp) SELECT ERROR_NUMBER() AS ErrorNumber, ERROR_SEVERITY() AS ErrorSeverity, ERROR_STATE() sql server bulk insert permission as ErrorState, ERROR_PROCEDURE() as ErrorProcedure, ERROR_LINE() as ErrorLine, 'CSV File Bulk_Insert: ' + ERROR_MESSAGE() as ErrorMessage, GetDate() as DateTimeStamp; Print('** Bulk Insert Process error: see table dbo.ProcessCSV_Error for details.**') end end catch This will give an overall error on only one row.I was wondering if it is possible to capture the row errors. What i mean is that if only run this portion: BULK INSERT [dbo].[dbfile] FROM 'C:\works\databasebulks\test.txt' WITH (MAXERRORS = 500000,LASTROW = 100, FORMATFILE='C:\work\databasebulks\dbxmlformatfiletests.xml'); It will start, for example, complaining that line 3 is not well formatted, line 8 codepage is wrong,etc. HOWEVER, it will continue the validation and insert lines since the MAXERRORS i set, let it slide. I would like though to be able to record these exceptions, even though they will not affect the final bulk insert.Thanks.

> Import and Export Problem The following tip addresses some of the questions I get asked about using bulk insert as an ETL tool. Microsoft provides bulk insert sql server bulk insert excel with SQL Server and it is one of the most reliable ETL tools sql server bulk insert performance I've used. Combined with PowerShell, it can significantly reduce ETL development time, and unlike some alternatives, allows for easy automation sql server bulk insert format file and application, such as building an AI that can read a file's format, then create a bulk insert based on the structure by detecting new rows, delimiters, problematic lines, etc. At the http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=195236 time of this tip, bulk insert is available in SQL Server versions 2005, 2008, 2008R2, 2012, and 2014 and there's no evidence Microsoft intends to deprecate it (I've been asked about this last one). Solution One popular misconception about bulk insert involves inserting a document, such as a full text file. People will specify a new line character as the row separator, yet that's inaccurate if https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3587/troubleshooting-common-sql-server-bulk-insert-errors/ you want the document in one row, or if there is a different separator. For instance, see the below code and images for an example inserting an HTML document: CREATE TABLE tb_HTMLDocuments( HTMLData VARCHAR(MAX) ) BULK INSERT tb_HTMLDocuments FROM 'C:\files\htmlfile.html' WITH ( ---- Note the below space only exists to prevent the HTML reader from removing it ROWTERMINATOR = '< !--END-->' ) SELECT * FROM tb_HTMLDocuments DROP TABLE tb_HTMLDocuments If I specified a new line character as the row separator, I would have seen more rows than one. Suppose that I have several HTML documents in one text file and I want multiple rows: CREATE TABLE tb_HTMLDocuments( HTMLData VARCHAR(MAX) ) BULK INSERT tb_HTMLDocuments FROM 'C:\files\htmlfile.html' WITH ( ---- Note the below space only exists to prevent the HTML reader from removing it ROWTERMINATOR = '< !--END-->' ) SELECT * FROM tb_HTMLDocuments DROP TABLE tb_HTMLDocuments A VARCHAR(MAX) field can hold up to 2GB, so a large document will fit into one column provided it doesn't exceed that size. This leads to a related error I get asked about a lot: Bulk load data conversion error (truncation) for row [number], column [number]. Let's generate this err

I don't mean just keeping those rows inserted prior to the error; I mean inserting all rows that aren't errored. sql-server error-handling bulkinsert share|improve this question edited Mar 16 '12 at 15:23 skaffman 276k62614652 asked Jul 17 '09 at 16:20 Will 95.8k41233337 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote accepted If you use SSIS, you can redirect the Error Output of the Destination to a garbage Script Component or a flat file. I often do that so I can then examine the rows that went awry. Additionally, if you're using BULK INSERT, then you can use the MAX_ERRORS (setting it to a very high value) and ERROR_FILE parameters to specify how to handle errors effectively. share|improve this answer answered Jul 17 '09 at 16:35 Eric 53.4k88296 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email Post as a guest Name Email discard By posting your answer, you agree to the privacy policy and terms of service.
