I'm running SQL Server 2008 R2 and trying to test out bcp in one of our databases. For almost all the tables, the bcp and bulk insert work fine using similar commands below. However on a few tables I am experiencing an issue when trying to Bulk Insert in.
Here are the details:
This is the bcp command to export out the data (via simple batch file):
1.)
SET OUTPUT=K:\BCP_FIN_Test
SET ERRORLOG=C:\Temp\BCP_Error_Log
SET TIMINGS=C:\Temp\BCP_Timings
bcp "SELECT * FROM FS84RPT.dbo.PS_PO_LINE Inner Join FS84RPT.[dbo].[PS_RECV_LN_ACCTG] on PS_PO_LINE.BUSINESS_UNIT = PS_RECV_LN_ACCTG.BUSINESS_UNIT_PO and PS_PO_LINE.PO_ID= PS_RECV_LN_ACCTG.PO_ID and PS_PO_LINE.LINE_NBR= PS_RECV_LN_ACCTG.LINE_NBR WHERE PS_RECV_LN_ACCTG.FISCAL_YEAR = '2014' and PS_RECV_LN_ACCTG.ACCOUNTING_PERIOD BETWEEN '9' AND '11' " queryout %OUTPUT%\PS_PO_LINE.txt -e %ERRORLOG%\PS_PO_LINE.err -o %TIMINGS%\PS_PO_LINE.txt -T -N
2.)
BULK INSERT PS_PO_LINE FROM 'K:\BCP_FIN_Test\PS_PO_LINE.txt' WITH (DATAFILETYPE = 'widenative')
Msg 4869, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The bulk load failed. Unexpected NULL value in data file row 2, column 22. The destination column (CNTRCT_RATE_MULT) is defined as NOT NULL.
Msg 4866, Level 16, State 4, Line 1
The bulk load failed. The column is too long in the data file for row 3, column 22. Verify that the field terminator and row terminator are specified correctly.
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.
Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".
I've tried a few different things including trying to export as character and import as BULK INSERT PS_PO_LINE FROM 'K:\BCP_FIN_Test\PS_PO_LINE.txt' WITH (DATAFILETYPE = 'char')
But no luck
Appreciate help
