Bulk Insert Error

> Import and Export Problem The following tip addresses some of the questions I get asked about using bulk insert as an ETL bulk insert error code 3 tool. Microsoft provides bulk insert with SQL Server and it is one linked server bulk insert error of the most reliable ETL tools I've used. Combined with PowerShell, it can significantly reduce ETL development time, and bulk insert error handling unlike some alternatives, allows for easy automation 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 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. bulk insert error file could not be opened People will specify a new line character as the row separator, yet that's inaccurate if 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 ex

To give you an idea, it contains about 220 columns (destination being NVARCHAR(255), source is pretty much INT) and 10 000 rows. File file size is no larger than 40mb. Here is the error I am getting: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 6 The OLE DB provider "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 6 Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)". Some more info: I get the same error if I use FIRSTROW AND LASTROW. When trying to find the offending row, the file started working once I started removing rows (started working when I had about 1910 rows in my set). It it doesn't matter from where I remove the rows, If I keep the top 1910 rows or the bottom 1910 rows it works, but as soon as I add more rows (which are valid) it breaks again. I am about 99% sure there is nothing wrong with my row endings or other formatting issues. Errorfile is emptry even a

Reply to Topic Printer Friendly Author Topic sapator Constraint Violating Yak Guru Greece 462 Posts bulk insert 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() bulk insert error 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.

Each row that cannot be imported by the bulk-import operation is ignored and counted as one error. If max_errors is not specified, the default is 10.Raise your MAXERRORS and everything should work fine. --Gianluca SartoriHow to post T-SQL questionsspaghettidba.com@spaghettidba Post #1011362 « Prev Topic | Next Topic » Permissions You cannot post new topics.
