    and i store this text file to C:\Users\mypc\Desktop\test.txt

    in sql server management studio i ran this query

    create table #PersonalData

    (Addressid varchar(50),

    Name varchar(50)

    )

    go

    USE tempdb;

    GO

    BULK INSERT #PersonalData

    FROM 'C:\Users\Unnati\Desktop\test.txt'

    WITH (

    FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',

    rowterminator ='',

    KEEPNULLS

    );

    GO

    but it gave me Below Error Message

    I think the problem is with the line that specifies the rowterminator. After I duplicated the error you got, I simply removed the rowterminator specification. The BULK INSERT then used the default row terminator of a newline '\r', and worked fine.

    Here's the documentation for BULK INSERT

    Ok... so what was the answer? Two way street here. 😉

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
