The bcp utility can be used to import large numbers of new rows into SQL Server tables or to export data out of tables into data files. Except when used with the queryout option, the utility requires no knowledge of Transact-SQL. To import data into a table, you must either use a format file created for that table or understand the structure of the table and the types of data that are valid for it

If you're sure the file is ANSI but still getting this error check the first line of the format file (the version number). The version number must match your SQL version number (or be an older version number). MSDN reference: The version of the bcp utility (Bcp.exe) used to read a format file must be the same as, or a later version than was used to create the format file. For example, SQL Server 2008 bcp can read a version 9.0 format file, which is generated by SQL Server 2005 bcp, but SQL Server 2005 bcp cannot read a version 10.0 format file, which is generated by SQL Server 2008 bcp. share|improve this answer answered Feb 22 '10 at 19:29 ecko 7114 add a comment| up vote 5 down vote A good way to ensure that the MS SQL server is not faili
| 2 | 3 | 4 | More > XML ProblemOne very common process that occurs in most SQL Server environments https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1060/bcp-xml-format-files-with-sql-server-2005/ is the need to import and export data. With SQL Server 7.0 and 2000 we had DTS (Data Transformation Services) and now with SQL Server 2005 we have SSIS http://luke.breuer.com/time/item/bcp_utility_gotchas/46.aspx (SQL Server Integration Services). These are great GUI environments and give you a lot of flexibility to move data in and out of SQL Server. In addition to these GUI syntax error tools there is the tried and true BCP (Bulk Copy Program) that has been around for a lot longer then DTS or SSIS. Even though this tool has been around quite some time, there are always enhancements and with SQL Server 2005 additional enhancements have been added as well. One of the features of BCP is to create a format xml syntax error file that defines the data that is coming into SQL Server and where it should go during the import process. With SQL Server 2005 an enhancement has been made so this format file can either be the standard format or in an XML format. SolutionCreating a format file for bcp is not new to SQL Server 2005 and these files can be created using older versions as well as with SQL Server 2005. This can be done by using a command similar to the following, which creates a format file based on the structure of the Categories table in the Northwind database. bcp Northwind.dbo.Categories format nul -c -f categories.fmt -T -S servername This creates a standard format file that can then be edited to handle differences in your source and destination formats. When you run this command, this is the output you get.

about any incorrect or missing information, so that this page can be a most excellent reference for bcp error messages and whatnot. NotesNote: this information is for SQL Server 2000 bcp.exe unless otherwise noted. Newer versions may not exhibit some of the below behavior. Warning: bcp does not warn you if you export data as tab-delimited when the data being pulled has tabs embedded (in character-type fields). This means data exported cannot automatically be imported. Note: bcp may silently succeed in importing data from a file with more columns than the destination table, if the last column in the table (or format file) can contain the extra fields in the file, delimiters included. References Understanding Non-XML Format Files (for SQL2008, but useful as a reference) Understanding XML Format Files While Microsoft claims that XML format files are better, I see no indication of this: once one knows which columns specify which data, the Non-XML format files are perfectly easy to parse. I suppose if the error messages were better, this could be a reason to switch... Format FilesIn v8.0 format files, there are two sets of ordinal positions: one for the data file field order and one for the table column order. There are two ways to retrieve the latter's ordinal positions: INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS.ORDINAL_POSITION and sp_columns. COLUMNS retrieves its ORDINAL_POSITION from syscolumns.colid, while sp_columns retrieves its ORDINAL_POSITION via count(*) where < colid. Because colid values are not required to be consecutive, these two ORDINAL_POSITION values can be different. bcp appears to use the sp_columns method. Modifying the table by rearranging columns or adding and removing a new column seems to fix the problem. To get the sp_columns version of ORDINAL_POSITION from COLUMNS, use SQL like select COLUMN_NAME, (select count(*) + 1 from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS tx where tx.TABLE_NAME = t1.TABLE_NAME and tx.ORDINAL_POSITION < t1.ORDINAL_POSITION) ORDINAL_POSITION from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS t1 where TABLE_NAME = 'your_table' Error MessagesGetting table ordinal positions wrong in the format file, whether it be because of the above ordinal position discrepancy or other error, can result in a multitude of error messages: string right truncation restricted data type invalid cast invalid descriptor index unexpected EOF String Right Trunca
