OK, I tried this:
USE Alert_db;
BULK INSERT funds FROM 'C:\\data\\myDa ta.dat'
WITH (FIELDTERMINATO R='\t',
KEEPNULLS,
ROWTERMINATOR=' \r\n');
And I got the following errors.
Msg 4864, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for
the specified codepage) for row 1, column 4 (f_asset_classe s_id).
Msg 4866, Level 16, State 8, Line 3
The bulk load failed. The column is too long in the data file for row
1, column 6. Verify that the field terminator and row terminator are
specified correctly.
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
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 3
Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server
"(null)".
One limitation I encountered is that there doesn't seem to be a way to
tell MS SQL Server that the fields are optionally enclosed by quotes.
That is, text fields are enclosed by quotes while, e.g., numeric
fields, are not, and that these optional quotes are NOT to be included
in the data in the fields.
I do not know what "State 1" vs "State 8" is supposed to mean.
The table in question in this example allows nulls in several columns,
and in the flat file, nulls are represented by consecutive tabs. Might
this be causing trouble for the Bulk Insert statement?
In other cases, where I have to use something like bulk insert,
involves several columns containing dates. I know MS SQL supports the
format used in the file (by reading the documentation for cast
operations), but is there an easy way to tell MS SQL which of the
supported date formats to use when reading this data. I've read bcp
should be useful for this, but I have yet to figure that out.
In about half of the cases where I load data from a file, the data is
loaded once when the database is first created, and in the rest, there
is new data to be loaded every business day; so I need to be able to
submit the required command from the command line, and thus invoke it
using a perl script.
BTW: I have ordered a couple books on T-SQL, but they have yet to
arrive.
Thanks
Ted

Yeah, I know about those. What I meant to say is that if you want to

Actually, I have been experimenting with BULK INSERT, bcp, and the
import wizard simultaneously. I find some inconsistency in how they
work. With bulk insert, it seems I can tell it to preserve my nulls,
and I haven't found out how to do that with the wizard (which is
accessable in SQL Server Management Studio by selecting the database
and then, from the popup menu selecting either import data or export
data).
I tried to use the wizard and import a file which did not have all values
for an int column, but I got the same error as you. Overall, the wizard
strained my patience, so I gave up after a while. It's certainly more
efficient with format files.

Hello,
I am trying to load a simple tab-delimited data file to SQL Server. I
created a format file to go with it, since the data file differs from

When I execute the query, I get an error saying that only sysadmin or
bulkadmin roles are allowed to use the BULK INSERT statement. So, I
proceeded with the Enterprise Manager to grant myself those roles.
However, I could not find sysadmin or...

We have an application through which we are bulk inserting rows into a

Right now I develop an application to retrieve over 30,000 records from a binary file and then load them into a SQL Server DB. So far I load those records one by one, but the performance is very poor: it takes more than 6 hours to finish the loading.
So could I make use of the bulk-insert mechanism of SQL Server to reduce the loading time in C# codes? or other performance improvement solutions?

Hi All,
I am using a combination of LINQ to SQL and bulk insert. In the
process of performing 'one unit of work' I will be doing things like
reading, and deleting records using LINQ to SQL and then inserting new
records using bulk insert.
One problem I am having is trying to use a 'transaction' to wrap
around the whole thing.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
