I am using Azure data factory to copy data to Snowflake. Data file is in Parquet format. Some of the columns contain ''. This is causing an error during the copy execution.
Microsoft.DataTransfer.Common.Shared.HybridDeliveryException,Message=ERROR [22000] Found character 'W' instead of field delimiter ','
Data sample:
Col1 Col2
WO68239\ WO68239\
\ WO12345
I tried these snowflake copy options which did not work.
ESCAPE_UNENCLOSED_FIELD = NONE
ESCAPE = \
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
Thanks,
I've got the simple table in CSV format:
999,"01/01/2001","01/01/2001","7777777","company","channel","01/01/2001"
990,"01/01/2001","01/01/2001","767676","hhh","tender","01/01/2001"
3838,"01/01/2001","01/01/2001","888","jhkh","jhkjh","01/01/2001"
08987,"01/01/2001","01/01/2001","888888","hkjhjkhv","jhgjh","01/01/2001"
8987,"01/01/2001","01/01/2001","9999","jghg","hjghg","01/01/2001"
jhkjhj,"01/01/2001","01/01/2001","9999","01.01.2001","hjhh","01/01/2001"
090009,"","","77777","","","01/01/2001"
980989,"01/01/2001","01/01/2001","888","","jhkh","01/01/2001"
0000,"01/01/2001","01/01/2001","99999","jhjh","","01/01/2001"
92929,"01/01/2001","01/01/2001","222","","","01/01/2001"
I'm trying to import that data into SQL Server using BULK INSERT (Transact-SQL)
set dateformat DMY;
BULK INSERT Oracleload
FROM '\\Mac\Home\Desktop\Test\T_DOGOVOR.csv'
WITH
(FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
ROWTERMINATOR = '\n',
KEEPNULLS);
On the output I get the next error:
Msg 4864, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 1, column 2 (date_begin)....
Something wrong with date format maybe. But what script I need to write to fix that error?
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
BULK INSERT (nor bcp) cannot (properly) handle CSV files, specially if they have (correctly) " quotes. Alternatives are SSIS or PowerShell.
I always look at the data in Notepad++ to see if there are some weird characters, or non-printable characters, like a line break or something. For this, it seems like you can open it using Notepad (if you don't have Notepad++) do a find-replace for " to nothing... Save the file, and re-do the Bulk Load.
This record:
jhkjhj,"01/01/2001","01/01/2001","9999","01.01.2001","hjhh","01/01/2001"
The first column has a numeric type of some kind. You can't put the jhkjhj value into that field.
Additionally, some records have empty values ("") in date fields. These are likely to be to interpreted as empty strings, rather than null dates, and not convert properly.
But the error refers to "row 1, column 2". That's this value:
"01/01/2001"
Again, the import is interpreting this as a string, rather than a date. I suspect it's trying to import the quotes (") instead of just using them as separators.
You might try bulk loading to a special holding table, and then re-importing from there. Alternatively, you can change how data is exported or write a program to pre-clean it — strip the quotes from fields that shouldn't have them, isolate records that have data that won't insert to an exception file and report.
I m looking to do a batch load into a table, called temp_data, where some of the columns are NULLable dates.
Here is what I have till now:
LOAD TABLE some.temp_data
(SomeIntegerColumn ',', SomeDateColumn DATE('YYYYMMDD') NULL('NULL'), FILLER(1), SomeStringColumn ',')
USING CLIENT FILE '{0}' ESCAPES OFF DELIMITED BY ',' ROW DELIMITED BY '#'
and I m trying to load the following file
500,NULL,Monthly#
500,NULL,Monthly#
500,NULL,Monthly#
Unfortunately the error I get is:
ERROR [07006] [Sybase][ODBC Driver][Sybase IQ]Cannot convert NULL,Mon
to a date (column SomeDateColumn)
Any ideas why this wouldn't work?
It appears that it's reading the 8 characters following the first delimiter and trying to interpret them as a date.
Try switching to FORMAT BCP. The following example could work on your sample file:
LOAD TABLE some.temp_data (
SomeIntegerColumn
, SomeDateColumn NULL('NULL')
, SomeStringColumn
)
USING CLIENT FILE '{0}'
ESCAPES OFF
DELIMITED BY ','
ROW DELIMITED BY '#'
FORMAT BCP
In addition,FORMAT BCP also has the advantage of not requiring trailing delimiters.
I am trying to import a csv file ('|' delimited though) using bulk insert. The problem is that some columns have text qualifier double quotes. However this is not consistent across all rows in the same column. Inside the double quotes I find the text delimiter '|' which is part of the text, For example
Col1|Col2|Col3
1|text1|101
2|"text2|text2a"|102
3|text3|103
4|"text4"|104
In this case I can't use the format file where I could specify the column delimiter because col2 does not have consistent delimiter (it is either | or |").
However, if I try to import via the import wizard and select text qualifier '"' then the wizard successfully sorts everything into columns, recognizing '"' as text qualifier and not as column delimiter ("| or |"). Is there an equivalent way using the bulk insert?
I have a log file delimited by |~ and also the values are enclosed in double quotes . I tried loading the file into hive using the following . But i didnt succeed.
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE AUDIT_DETAIL
(
EVENT_ID string
, DETAIL_ID smallint
, SERVER_CUID String
, DETAIL_TYPE_ID smallint
, DETAIL_TEXT String
, START_TIMESTAMP DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE
) row format delimited fields terminated by '|~'
location '/user/Audit_Detail';
Is there any way to accomplish this other than hive udf?
Thanks a lot
The delimiter you are using is a multicharacter delimiter which is not supported till ver 0.13 . It might be the reason for your error.
