I am getting the below error while trying to do bcp from a flat delimited file into Sybase IQ table.
Could not execute statement.
Non-space text found after ending quote character for an enclosed field.
I couldn't observe any non space text in the file, but this error is stopping me from doing the bulk copy. | is column delimiter with " as text qualifier and \n is row delimiter.
Below is the sample template for the same, am using.
LOAD TABLE TABLE_NAME(a NULL('(null)'),b NULL('(null)'),c NULL('(null)'))
USING CLIENT FILE '/home/...../a.txt' //unix
QUOTES ON
FORMAT bcp
STRIP RTRIM
DELIMITED BY '|'
ROW DELIMITED BY '\n'
When i perform the same query with QUOTES OFF, the load was successful. But, the same query is getting failed with QUOTES ON. I would like to get quotes stripped off, as well.
Sample Data
12345|"abcde"|(null)
12346|"abcdf"|"zxf"
12347|(null)|(null)
12348|"abcdg"|"zyf"
Any leads would be helpful!
If IQ bcp is the same as ASE, then I think those '(null)' fields are being interpreted as strings, not fields that are NULL.
You'd need to stream edit out those (null).
You're on unix so use sed or perl -ne.
E.g. pipe the file through " | perl -pne 's/(null)//g'" to the loading command or filename.
QUOTES OFF might seem to work, but I wonder if when you look in your loaded data, you'll see double quotes inside the 2nd field, and '(null)' where you expect a field to be NULL.

I Unloaded a table from from Redshift to S3. The table is 212 columns wide. Some fields in some rows contain Arabic text.
Here's the Redshidt Unload command I used:
unload ('select * from dataw.testing')
to 's3://uarchive-live/rpt_all/rpt_all.txt'
iam_role 'arn:aws:iam::12345678988:role/service-role'
GZIP
DELIMITER '\t'
null as ''
;
When I attempt to COPY this file into Snowflake an error occurs.
End of record reached while expected to parse column '"RPT_ALL"["AUTO_TRAF_RETR_CNT":211]' File 'rpt_all_250/rpt_all.txt0000_part_113.gz', line 9684, character 1187 Row 9684, column "RPT_ALL"["AUTO_TRAF_RETR_CNT":211]
The field name referenced in the error is not the last field in the records, there are two more after that one.
I removed the Arabic text from the fields and left them blank, then I attempted the COPY again, and this time it Copied with no errors.
Here's the Snowflake File Format I'm using:
CREATE FILE FORMAT IF NOT EXISTS "DEV"."PUBLIC"."ff_noheader" TYPE = 'CSV' RECORD_DELIMITER = '\n' FIELD_DELIMITER = '\t' SKIP_HEADER = 0 COMPRESSION = 'GZIP' TIMESTAMP_FORMAT = 'AUTO' TRIM_SPACE = TRUE REPLACE_INVALID_CHARACTERS = TRUE;
Here's the Snowflake Copy command I'm using:
COPY INTO "DEV"."PUBLIC"."RPT_ALL" FROM #"stg_All"/snowflk_test.csv FILE_FORMAT="DEV"."PUBLIC"."ff_noheader";
What do I need to configure in Snowflake to accept this Arabic text so that the end of record is not corrupted?
Thanks
I'm not a Snowflake expert but I have used it and I have debug a lot issue like this.
My initial though as to why you are getting an unexpected EOR, which is \n, is that you data contains \n. If you data has \n then this will look like an EOR when the data is read. I don't believe there is a way to change the EOR in the Redshift UNLOAD command. So you need to ESCAPE in the Redshift UNLOAD command to add a backslash before characters like \n. You will also need to tell Snowflake what the escape character is - ESCAPE = '\' (I think you need double backslash in this statement). [There's a change you may need to quote your fields also but you will know that when you hit any issues hidden by this one.]
The other way would be to use a different unload format that doesn't suffer from overloaded character meaning.
There's a chance that the issue is in character encodings related to your Arabic text but I expect not since both Redshift and Snowflake are UTF-8 based systems. Possible but not likely.
I want to load a CSV file into a database.
The CSV content look like :
"AAAAA","DDDDD","ooooo"\r\n
"AAAAA","DDDDD","contennt exemple"\r\n
"AAAAA","DDDDD","file C:\hghjghj\gfhfhg\ssss\"\r\n
"AAAAA","DDDDD","mistake in Word"\r\n
I insert the content with the "Load data local infile instruction", but the last line is not included because the end of the previous field is ""\" , I don't know how i can change my code, could you help me please ?
My Code :
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'Import/file.TXT' INTO TABLE
`cree_re_import` FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n'
Thanks.

A SHOW WARNINGS after executing LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE should give you more information in case the server couldn't process the content of the file correctly.
The CSV content which you posted has incorrect format:
Backslash is the escape character within strings in SQL statements. To specify a literal backslash, you must specify two backslashes for the value to be interpreted as a single backslash:
So the 3d column in 3rd row should be
"file C:\\hghjghj\\gfhfhg\\ssss\\"
I am trying to upload a bunch of csv's to SybaseIQ using dbisql's Load command.
My CSV's look like this
"ps,abc","jgh","kyj"
"gh",""jkl","qr,t"
and my Load command and other options are these:
set temporary option ISQL_LOG = '/path/for/log/file';
set temporary option DATE_ORDER = 'MDY';
Load table test (a, b, c)
Format bcp
Strip RTRIM
Escapes OFF
quotes ON
Delimited by ','
I create a '.ctl' file like the one above and then execute it with the following command:
dbisql -c "uid = xxx; pwd = yyyy" -host aaaa - port 1089 -nogui test.ctl
On execution I get the following error:
Non-space text found after ending quote character for an enclosed field.
--(db_RecScanner.cxx 2473)
SQLCODE=-1005014, ODBC 3 state="HY000"
HOWEVER
It works fine with the following csv format
"ps,abc","jgh",kyj
"gh",""jkl",qrt
i.e if the last column doesn't have the double quotes it works. but all my files have double quotes around each element.
Also the following .ctl file
set temporary option ISQL_LOG = '/path/for/log/file';
set temporary option DATE_ORDER = 'MDY';
Load table test (a ASCII(8), b ASCII(7), c ASCII(7))
Strip RTRIM
Escapes OFF
quotes ON
Delimited by ','
is able to insert data as in the first csv sample into the database but it also inserts the quotes and the commas and also messes up the data:
ex: first row in the db would look like
"ps,abc" ,"jgh", "kyj""g
as opposed to
ps,abc jgh kyj
I am going nuts over trying to figure out what the issue is I have read the manual for sybase and dbisql and according to that the first control file should be able to load the data properly, but it doesn't do that. Any help on this will be appreciated. Thanks in advance
Also my table structure is like this:
a(varchar(8)) b(varchar(7)) c(varchar(7))
I have data in the csv file similar to this:
Name,Age,Location,Score
"Bob, B",34,Boston,0
"Mike, M",76,Miami,678
"Rachel, R",17,Richmond,"1,234"
While trying to BULK INSERT this data into a SQL Server table, I encountered two problems.
If I use FIELDTERMINATOR=',' then it splits the first (and sometimes the last) column
The last column is an integer column but it has quotes and comma thousand separator whenever the number is greater than 1000
Is there a way to import this data (using XML Format File or whatever) without manually parsing the csv file first?
I appreciate any help. Thanks.
You can parse the file with http://filehelpers.sourceforge.net/
And with that result, use the approach here: SQL Bulkcopy YYYYMMDD problem or straight into SqlBulkCopy
Use MySQL load data:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'path-to-/filename.csv' INTO TABLE `sql_tablename`
CHARACTER SET 'utf8'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '\"'
IGNORE 1 LINES;
The part optionally enclosed by '\"', or escape character and quote, will keep the data in the first column together for the first field.
IGNORE 1 LINES will leave the field name row out.
UTF8 line is optional but good to use if names have diacritics, like in José.
I have a CSV file which I am directly importing to a SQL server table. In the CSV file each column is separated by a comma. But my problem is that I have a column "address", and the data in this column contains commas. So what is happening is that some of the data of the address column is going to the other columns will importing to SQL server.
What should I do?
For this problem the solution is very simple.
first select => flat file source => browse your file =>
then go to the "Text qualifier" by default its none write here double quote like (") and follow the instruction of wizard.
Steps are -
first select => flat file source => browse your file => Text qualifier (write only ") and follow the instruction of wizard.
Good Luck
If there is a comma in a column then that column should be surrounded by a single quote or double quote. Then if inside that column there is a single or double quote it should have an escape charter before it, usually a \
Example format of CSV
ID - address - name
1, "Some Address, Some Street, 10452", 'David O\'Brian'
New version supports the CSV format fully, including mixed use of " and , .
BULK INSERT Sales.Orders
FROM '\\SystemX\DiskZ\Sales\data\orders.csv'
WITH ( FORMAT='CSV');
I'd suggest to either use another format than CSV or try using other characters as field separator and/or text delimiter. Try looking for a character that isn't used in your data, e.g. |, #, ^ or #. The format of a single row would become
|foo|,|bar|,|baz, qux|
A well behave parser must not interpret 'baz' and 'qux' as two columns.
Alternatively, you could write your own import voodoo that fixes any problems. For the later, you might find this Groovy skeleton useful (not sure what languages you're fluent in though)
Most systems, including Excel, will allow for the column data to be enclosed in single quotes...
col1,col2,col3
'test1','my test2, with comma',test3
Another alternative is to use the Macintosh version of CSV, which uses TAB's as delimiters.
The best, quickest and easiest way to resolve the comma in data issue is to use Excel to save a comma separated file after having set Windows' list separator setting to something other than a comma (such as a pipe). This will then generate a pipe (or whatever) separated file for you that you can then import. This is described here.
I don't think adding quote could help.The best way I suggest is replacing the comma in the content with other marks like space or something.
replace(COLUMN,',',' ') as COLUMN
Appending a speech mark into the select column on both side works. You must also cast the column as a NVARCVHAR(MAX) to turn this into a string if the column is a TEXT.
SQLCMD -S DB-SERVER -E -Q "set nocount on; set ansi_warnings off; SELECT '""' + cast ([Column1] as nvarchar(max)) + '""' As TextHere, [Column2] As NormalColumn FROM [Database].[dbo].[Table]" /o output.tmp /s "," -W
