  • Looking at what Frederico has done in code, I'd probably do it the same way IF the Promise Number and Location are unique within a row set group and that row set group is unique in the file.  If it's not, post back... I have a fix for that.

    The only other thing I might add to it is to use CONVERT to convert things like 8 digit dates to the actual DATE datatype.

    The next question is, are you having any difficulty in importing the rows into a single column (1 line per row)?

  • Do I just replace the part he has the select and from with a bulk insert?

  • smattiko83 wrote:

    yes that would be a way - where I do "insert into #data .... " you could do this from a bulk insert.

    or if you prefer using SSIS you can create a perm table and use it instead - but layout of table could remain as is

    as Jeff mentioned you would also do further converts of datatypes so final table has dates, chars and numerics set as they should instead of all chars - that can be done as part of the selects + sub-strings I've shown

     

  • I get the following error:

     

    Msg 4866, Level 16, State 1, Line 8

    The bulk load failed. The column is too long in the data file for row 1, column 1. Verify that the field terminator and row terminator are specified correctly.

    Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 8

    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 8

    Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".

  • can you post here the bulk command you used please.

  • create table de_identified.dbo.test

    (recordtype varchar(3)

    ,record varchar(500)

    )

    BULK INSERT de_identified.dbo.test FROM 'C:\dident\PRV414WSW\PRV414SW.txt'

  • apologies.

    Bulk insert (done this way) requires a slightly different setup

    working example below - note that i have removed the record type from the temp table as bulk would fail because of it

    and I also added the terminator that the sample file you supplied contains (0x0A)

    and just as an example I've converted one of the fields to a date

    if object_id('tempdb..#data') is not null
    drop table #data

    create table #data
    (record varchar(500)
    )

    bulk insert #data

  • If you're going to split the data on the way in, even if it's just two columns, you're going to need a "Format File" to do it.  If no one beats me to it, I'll try to pump out an example for you tonight after work.

     

    --Jeff Moden


    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.

    no need for a format file if it is a single column - and unless the file is very big (few million rows) using a temp table will work fine for most cases.(see example above)

  • Cool, it seems to work well. Two questions.

    1. How do you know to use ROWTERMINATOR = '0x0a'? I've been thrown into creating tables, dba role and have seen others but I'm not sure how to tell what to use.
    2. I've created below to join the different record types, is there a way to have the results inserted into a new table?
