I am trying to import a .csv file into SQL SERVER using BULK Import. I am facing weird problem when I am importing it initially it is not considering any line feed or any ROW Terminator which causes all the data to be imported into the last column. But When I am opening the .csv file in Excel and closing it using save as .csv all goes good and I am able to import data using BULK import.
My Code is as follow
BULK INSERT TS4_UCM_0 FROM 'C:\Test\stage1_Baseline1.csv'
WITH (
FIELDTERMINATOR =',',
FIRSTROW = 2,
ROWTERMINATOR ='\n')

I receive update information for items on a daily basis via a CSV file that includes date/time information in the format YYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss
I used the Management Studio task "Import Flat File..." to create a table dbo.fullItemList and import the contents of the initial file. It identified the date/time columns as type datetime2(7) and imported the data correctly. I then copied this table to create a blank table dbo.dailyItemUpdate.
I want to create a script that imports the CSV file to dbo.dailyItemUpdate, uses a MERGE function to update dbo.fullItemList, then wipes dbo.dailyItemUpdate ready for the next day.
The bit I can't get to work is the import. As the table already exists I'm using the following
BULK INSERT dbo.dailyItemUpdate
FROM 'pathToFile\ReceivedFile.csv'
WITH
(
DATAFILETYPE = 'char',
FIELDQUOTE = '"',
FIRSTROW = 2,
FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
ROWTERMINATOR = '\n',
TABLOCK
)
But I get a "type mismatch..." error on the date/time columns. How come the BULK INSERT fails, even though the data type was picked up by the "Import Flat File" function?
I am trying to import a .CSV file into my SQL Server database. This is the script I am using:
BULK INSERT <table_name>
FROM '/data.txt'
WITH
(
FIRSTROW = 2,
FORMAT='CSV',
ERRORFILE = '/RowErrors.txt',
MAXERRORS = 100
)
The trouble is my CSV has rows like the following in it.
"1-XY-YYYY","","","",""GXXXXX","SuXXXXXXXX","1-XY-YYYY"
Note the ""GXXXXX" in column 5.
The import stops with the following error when it gets to that row
Bulk load failed due to invalid column value in CSV data file
Is there some way to get the importer to ignore data formatting error like we can with the MAXERRORS property?
So what i am trying to do is using query inset data in CSV file with headers i know this not the right way i also tried using "bcp" on sql but it spiking the headers as well putting everything in one column
bulk insert "C:\New folder\s.csv"
from [D].[user]
with (fieldterminator = ',', rowterminator = '\n')
go
Sources should be sql Query
Output result should be a .CSV file with Headers
I am using Microsoft SQL Server Management studio and I am currently importing some CSV files in a database. I am importing the CSV files using the BULK INSERT command into already existing tables, using the following query.
BULK INSERT myTable
FROM >>'D:\myfolder\file.csv'
WITH
(FIRSTROW = 2,
FIELDTERMINATOR = ';', --CSV Field Delimiter
ROWTERMINATOR = '\n', -- Used to shift to the next row
ERRORFILE = 'D:\myfolder\Error Files\myErrrorFile.csv',
TABLOCK
)
This works fine for me thus far, but I would like to automate the process of naming columns in tables. More specifically I would like to create a table and use as column names, the contents of the first row of the CSV file. Is that possible?
The easiest way I can think of is:
right-click on the database, select: Tasks -> Import Data...
After that, SQL Server Import and Export Wizard will display. There you have everything to specify and custom settings on importing data from any sources (such as getting column names from first row in a file).
In your case, your data source will be Flat file source.
I'm importing a CSV compiled using cygwin shell commands into MS SQL 2014 using:
BULK INSERT import
from 'D:\tail.csv'
WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = ',', ROWTERMINATOR = '\r', FIRSTROW = 1)
GO
I have confirmed that each row contains a \r\n. If I leave a CR/LF on the last row the bulk import fails with Msg 4832:
Bulk load: An unexpected end of file was encountered in the data file.
If I end the file at the end of the last data row then the bulk import succeeds.
For very large CSVs a kludgy way around this problem is to find the number of rows and use the LASTROW setting for the BULK INSERT. Is there a more graceful way to let MS SQL know that, yes, the last row is terminated and not to complain about it or fail on it?
Use the following :
BULK INSERT import
from 'D:\tail.csv'
WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = ',', ROWTERMINATOR = '0x0a', FIRSTROW = 1)
GO
