I'm trying to import Text file for cities name into SQL server 2012. The file is 1.45 GB, I'm using SQL Server Import and Export Wizard to do the job but each time I get this error:

I changed the Table fields size to the text type to avoid data length problem but this did not help,please advise.
Thanks
I strongly recommend that you use a staging table. Import the table into a staging table with wide nvarchar() text fields.
If you cannot do this successfully, then the data file itself is probably corrupted.
After you have loaded into the staging table, insert the data (with appropriate conversions) into the final form (and then build indexes). It is much easier to find such problems when the data is already in a table than when trying to import it frustratingly over and over again.

I have downloaded files from the website below:
https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/nfl-big-data-bowl-2022/data
I've imported games.csv, players.csv, and PFFScoutingData.csv.
However, when I go to import plays.csv using SQL Server's Import & Export Wizard I'm getting errors that I have been trying to resolve by changing data types and I cannot figure it out.
Data Source: Flat File Source
File Name: plays.csv
Locale: English
Unicode: Not Checked
Code Page: 1252 (ANSI - Latin I)
Format: Delimited
Text Qualifier: none
Header row delimiter: CR/LF
Header rows to skip: 0
Column Names in first data row is checked
I then click next and leave everything as default on the new screen.
Destination: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
I then click next, and then next again on the next page.
I click finish twice and then I get this error.

How do I import a local flat tab file into a database using SQL Server 2012 without truncation errors?
What I have tried: To import the local flat tab file into my database. I'm using Microsoft Sql Server Management System (MS SMS). I receive errors that the FULL_DESCRIPTION column is truncated. I changed the data type for that column to max and tried VARCHAR(max) & NVARCAR(max) & NTEXT(max) but I receive the same errors. I right click on the database > Tasks > Import Data.
Then the SQL server Import and Export Wizard appears.[Choose From Data Source.] > [Choose Data Destination to copy to.] > [Table Preview] > [Review Data Mapping] > Finish. It starts executing and I receive the following error screen.
Error 0xc02020a1: Data Flow Task 1: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "FULL_DESCRIPTION" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page."

I ended up transferring the flat file into an Excel file and importing it into the SSIS 2008 R2 database without loosing data.
I transferred the flat file into excel as Microsoft Excel 97-2003 Worksheet.
How to import an Excel file into SQL Server?
I use SQL Server Import and Export Wizard for import data from an excel sheet.
And these are the errors:

What can I do?
That means there are unicode characters in your Excel source data that cannot be converted to the the target column(s) in SQL Server [varchar() or char()]. In SQL Server you need to use nvarchar() or char() columns to store unicode data you want to import from Excel.
The import wizard is throwing an error and letting you know (albeit mystically) that is the problem.
UPDATE: Disregard this, Panagotis is correct, you have need to widen your target, not change the data type. Sorry for the confusion.
I'm hoping someone can help me. I have a big query, like 2 million records. It has some exotic characters, and I think some of the values have commas which is making it difficult to export the query results to a flat file and then import them into another table in a different server and database.
I've been trying to use the export wizard so I can change the column delimiter to tab, but I'm getting the errors below I think because of the exotic characters and merged values.
Any tips are greatly appreciated.

The truncation error essentially means there is something wrong with your metadata either in your source or destination. You can set the column to "ignore truncation error" and test to see if your data is still accurate...if not then you will need to check your metadata and make the relevant change.
In Import Export wizard, while configuring Destination, try using Code Page to UTF-8, Text qualifier as " and choose column delimiter as of your choice. Also try with and without checking Unicode option. While editing mappings, select data type and size accordingly source. Most of time DT_TEXT or DT_NTEXT will work for all columns.

Please help me out. Sorry if it's vague.
Thanks in Anticipation.

Your data's size exceeds the field size. Extend the size of your address field in the target table. If you still get the error, check the "Advanced" Option in the Import and Export Wizard. You can set the OutputColumnWidth for each column there.
