The database collation is Arabic_CS_AI while import wizard has the code page property set to 1256 with the Unicode unchecked.

Most of the time, when you receive a truncate error, it is because one of the columns you are importing your data to is not big enough.
Removing the trailing and leading spaces might help with this problem.

How to resolve error importing CSV files into SQL Server

I keep getting error messages while trying to import data into SQL Server.
What I have tried:
Used the 'suggest type' button under advanced
Changed the data type from string[DT_STR] to text stream [DT_TEXT]
Changed 'OutputColumn' of problematic columns to VARCHAR 255 and 50
Below is the error message I keep getting:

It appears the destination column start_station_name is not large enough to hold the data from source, causing a truncation to occur.
You could change the data type in the destination table to nvarchar(max) and run the import again. Assuming that is the only column with that issue it should import.

on your data flow task, the field Description is being truncated. you can increase the size of this field. go into your flat files connection mgr and increase the size of the field under the advanced tab. the default here should be 50 chars. make sure your destination table and this value are the same. I would suggest varchar(200) for testing if the max size of Description is not yet known.

Import DAT file content to SQL Server table using Import Export Wizard - Error

I have .DAT file which looks like below format[no column name or header, only data]: || is the separator; so, I have 20 fields.
worth||8000||AC8000||Tal||100||IN||O||2014-01-09 00:00:00||||N||N||N||Y||2014-01-09 00:00:00||Y||19991011||N||Internal||||N
My SQL DB table also has 20 columns.
When I'm using import export wizard, I'm getting error as below:

Note: I have all columns in DB table has 255 char.
Please let me know, how to resolve this problem? How can I successfully import it to my DB.
Configure your flat file source with the correct data type and data length. Seems that data received from the file is more than the data length you have defined leading to truncation.
Your first error shows the text you are trying to import in one of the columns is larger than the size of the column in your data base(in destination db table),
So change the column size to be larger in your DB:
ALTER your TABLE, set more characters for the column VARCHAR(255),
For the second error it seems maybe some of row in you DAT file have less or more than 20 columns which don't match with your table, may bi in row 109 as reported in one of the error.
Hope it helps

SQL Server: Data import errors

I'm trying to import a data set into SQL server and I keep on getting the errror meesages below. I'm not sure what they mean or how to resolve the issue. Its an excel/csv file so I thought there may be line feeds that were causing the issue but I ran the excel clean function on the fields and im still getting the error.

The data types are annoyingly different than those in MS SQL, instead of VARCHAR(255) it's DT_STR and the output column width can be set to 255. For VARCHAR(MAX) it's DT_TEXT.
So, on the Data Source selection, in the Advanced tab, change the data type of any offending columns from DT_STR to DT_TEXT (You can select multiple columns and change them all at once).

SQL Server Import wizard fails with incomprehensible message

I just want to import two columns from a flat file into a new table. I have set one column, 'Code', to be varchar(50), and another column, 'Description', to be nvarchar(max).
The import fails with the following messages:

The error message suggests to me that data is getting truncated as it's being placed in the 'Description' column, which is of type nvarchar(max)! Having eyeballed the input data, I would say the descriptions are never more than around 2 or 300 characters, so this is out of the question.
Can anyone suggest what is wrong here?
The default size for string columns, in the import, is 50 characters. This truncation happens before data goes to your database.
You should adjust this in the first step of the Import Wizard, in the Columns section.
The error
"Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page."
may occur EVEN when your source flat file is a Unicode file and your target column is defined as nvarchar(max).
SSIS infers data types in the source file from scanning a limited number of rows and making an educated guess. Due to endlessly repeated attempts to get it to work, it parked the metadata for the data type OutputColumnWidth to 50 characters somewhere along the way, causing truncation internal to the package.
Look into the metadata in the Data Source's "Advanced" tab to resolve the problem.
you cam also try this .
select all the nvarchar columns as Dt_NTEXT in the advance TAB and then in the data conversion ,select DT_WSTR (Unicode_String) for the Alias Column for all the Nvarchar data Fields.
It worked for me :). Try it
I got this message as well while trying to load a 275 column table. No matter what I did, I couldn't get the message to go away. Changing one column at a time was really difficult. Fix one, get an error in another. Plus some would not seem to fix.
Then I removed all ":" and "," characters from the tab delimited source file, and it loaded just fine.
