I have to create a script to install a database, and one of the tables
has about 200 rows of static data... I dont want to have to manually
type in 200 insert statements, so is there a better way to do this? I
thought about maybe exporting the data into a CSV file and using some
sort of procedure to insert the records that way... Any advise? 6 10410
I did some research and discovered the lovely BCP utility. With this
utility i was able to export the data into a basic txt file using this
as a template:
bcp "SELECT * FROM pubs..authors" queryout authors.txt -U garth -P pw -
c
However I can find any resources on how I would go about putting the
data into the table...
If anyone could please use the above example, as the export and
provide me with a proper import that would be absolutely wonderful.
I figured out that I can just include a bulk insert statement in my
script to do this::
BULK INSERT tmpStList FROM 'c:\TxtFile2.txt' WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR =
',')
however I can't figure out how to use a tab as the field terminator as
opposed to ,
Well, all I did was change the bcp utility to create a CSV file
instead of the tab seperated file...
But when I try to run the bulk insert statement I get this error:
The BULK INSERT SQL construct or statement is not supported.
Error Message:
Cannont bulk load because the file "C:\scripts\attributes.txt" could
not be opened. Operating system error code 123(The filename,
directory name, or volume lable syntax is incorrect.)
Perhaps you ran the BCP utility locally, then ran BULK INSERT on the
server?
Have you noticed yet that BCP works in both directions, IN as well as
OUT?

My problem was that I was using the wrong instance of sql server...I
was trying to use sql server express, which doesn't support the bulk
insert. After I changed the instance I had no problem getting it to
work. Thanks for your response though.
SQL Script Builder is a multiple platform database migration tool, it
create a database sql script (or dump file) from any ODBC data source.
Scripts are available in 5 output formats ; MySql, MS SQL, Oracle,
Pervasive and PostgreSQL. The script produced will migrate the
database (multiple tables selection) or only one table. SQL Script
Builder can be used for example to migrate your Access database to
MySql database, or MySql database to MS SQL database and vice
versa.There's no limits, all you need is the ODBC driver for the
database you wish to import from.
