I have an excel file that I want to bulk insert into temp table:
create table #tmptable
(
Date varchar(10),
Receipt varchar(50),
Description varchar(100),
[Card Member] varchar(50),
[Account #] varchar(17),
Amount varchar(20)
)
bulk insert #tmptable
from 'C:\Transactions\example.xls'
with (FieldTerminator='\t', RowTerminator = '\n')
go
This is my excel file:
When executing bulk statement, getting the following error:
Msg 4863, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Bulk load data conversion error
(truncation) for row 1, column 1 (Date). Msg 4864, Level 16, State 1,
Line 1 Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid
character for the specified codepage) for row 2, column 1 (Date).
Do not know why it happens.
Well, you are actually reading your headers, meaning the the data on the first few rows of your xls are images that's why you are getting a type mismatch error
get the row number of that first row where the data actually is.
then you use this:
create table #tmptable
(
Date date,
Receipt varchar(50),
Description varchar(100),
[Card Member] varchar(50),
[Account #] varchar(17),
Amount varchar(20)
)
bulk insert #tmptable
from 'C:\Transactions\example.xls'
with (FieldTerminator='\t', RowTerminator = '\n', FirstRow = X)
go
where X is the row number where the data actually starts and not the headers

BULK INSERT with identity (auto-increment) column
(9 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I defined a table with an unique objected (generated)
CREATE TABLE Table1(
Id bigint IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY
,Version VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL
,Date DATE NOT NULL
,Code VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL);
INSERT INTO Table1(Version,Date,Code) VALUES ('1.0','2018-04-16','8615');
INSERT INTO Table1(Version,Date,Code) VALUES ('1.0','2018-04-16','2285');
INSERT INTO Table1(Version,Date,Code) VALUES ('1.0','2018-04-16','11625');
Now I have a .csv. file with more information to insert. I suppose to use BULK INSERT like
BULK INSERT Table1
FROM 'C:\test.csv'
WITH (
FIELDTERMINATOR = ','
,ROWTERMINATOR = '\n'
)
the input file contains:
1.0,2018-04-16,240061
1.0,2018-04-17,3435
1.0,2018-04-18,2143
1.0,2018-04-19,44
1.0,2018-04-20,2453
1.0,2018-04-01,2012
1.0,2018-04-22,123
1.0,2018-04-23,9887
1.0,2018-04-30,57
1.0,2018-05-1,576
1.0,2018-05-8,35
1.0,2018-05-9,867
1.0,2018-05-10,555
....
running the BULK INSERT statement results in errors
Msg 4864, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 1, column 1 (Id).
Msg 4864, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 2, column 1 (Id).
What is the best way to insert a lot of data from the csv into de table? (more then 10000 rows)
try specifying column name like
BULK INSERT Table1 (Version,Date,Code)
FROM 'C:\test.csv'
WITH (
FIELDTERMINATOR = ','
,ROWTERMINATOR = '\n'
)
I'm trying to load a CSV file into a table in order to sort the data. However, the smallmoney column BillingRate (e.g. $203.75) will not convert, with SQL Server producing the following message:
Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 2, column 4 (BillingRate).
Msg 4864, Level 16, State 1, Line 10
Here is the code I am using in order to do this:
--CREATE TABLE SubData2
--(
--RecordID int,
--SubscriberID int,
--BillingMonth int,
--BillingRate smallmoney,
--Region varchar(255)
--);
BULK INSERT Subdata2
FROM 'C:\Folder\1-caseint.csv'
WITH
(FIRSTROW = 2,
FIELDTERMINATOR = '|', --CSV field delimiter
ROWTERMINATOR = '\n', --Use to shift the control to next row
ERRORFILE = 'C:\Folder\CaseErrorRows4.csv',
TABLOCK);
A typical line of code in the CSV files looks like:
1|0000000001|1|$233.94|"West"
Apologies if there are any glaring errors here - I'm new to SQL Server :)
Many thanks in advance,
Tom.
This is odd. On a direct insert only the last fails.
declare #t table (sm smallmoney);
insert into #t
values ('$256.6')
insert into #t
values (244.8);
insert into #t
values ('12.8');
insert into #t
values ('$256.5'), ('244.7');
insert into #t
values ($256.5);
insert into #t
values ('$256.5'), (244.7), ('12.12');
select * from #t;
Give it a try removing the $ from the data.
I need to read data from .csv file which contains many records, but in last row
there is string "the_end" and after that there is no LF sign.
Here is my csv file:
1,James,Smith,19750101
2,Meggie,Smith,19790122
3,Robert,Smith,20071101
4,Alex,Smith,20040202
the_end
Below my sql script which reads data into temporary table:
create table #Data
(
id int,
first_name varchar(50),
last_name varchar(50),
birthdate smalldatetime
)
bulk insert #Data
from 'C:\Users\Michał\Desktop\csvtest.csv'
with
(
FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
ROWTERMINATOR = '\n'
)
select * from #Data
drop table #Data
Error is:
Msg 4832, Level 16, State 1, Line 13
Bulk load: An unexpected end of file was encountered in the data file.
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 13
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 13
Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".
I want to read all data into my table without this last line label "the_end", that's obvious. How can i manage that? I cannot modify this file, because it's given from outside and I cannot do that.
Use the lastrow option
bulk insert #Data
from 'C:\Users\Michał\Desktop\csvtest.csv'
with
(
FIELDTERMINATOR = ','
, ROWTERMINATOR = '\n'
, lastrow = 4
)
dynamic sql example using a variable for lastline:
create table #Data (
id int
, first_name varchar(50)
, last_name varchar(50)
, birthdate smalldatetime
);
declare #lastline int = 4;
declare #sql nvarchar(max)= '
bulk insert #Data
from ''C:\Users\Michał\Desktop\csvtest.csv''
with (
FIELDTERMINATOR = '',''
, ROWTERMINATOR = ''\n''
, lastrow = '+convert(nvarchar(11),#lastline)+'
);';
exec sp_executesql #sql;
select * from #Data
drop table #Data
If the lastrow option doesn't work for you, manually delete the last row and try to re-run your BulkLoad process. If everything works fine, crate a VB.NET executable to open the file, strip out the last row, and re-save the file. can schedule the delete-last-row process and the BulkLoad process using the Windows Task Scheduler.

I'm trying to execute this code:
DECLARE #temp TABLE (Start dateTime, Name nvarchar)
INSERT INTO #temp (Start, Name)
VALUES (GETDATE(), 'Callum')
SELECT * FROM #temp
and I get this error:
Msg 8152, Level 16, State 4, Line 3 String or binary data would be
truncated. The statement has been terminated.
(0 row(s) affected)
I found out that I'm trying to fit too much data in the column, but I'm not sure how....
You need to specify the size in nvarchar. For Eg nvarchar(50)
I need to insert csv file into sql server db. The problem is I keep getting a
Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for
the specified codepage) error. this is repeated 10 times and
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error.
The provider did not give any information about the error.
Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".
The specific column that errors is a bigint,primary key,no null field. I have made sure all 5000 records have a 4 digit number and there are no nulls. I am tired of fighting this and simply want to insert the date and datavalue fields into this table --CSResult. The problem is sql server simply errors out and I am thinking it wants values for ALL the fields.
IS there a way to insert data into the columns I want?
Any ideas.
BULK INSERT [DB].[CsSchema].[CsResult] (
FROM 'c:\june132012.csv'
WITH
(
FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
ROWTERMINATOR = '\n'
)
this is what the data looks like:
