group:Bcp error with format file
sql server programming:
I am trying to import 2 columns from a 3 column file, but I get:
C:\temp\>bcp soar.dbo.remarks_temp in remarks.txt -f bcp.fmt SQLState = S1000, NativeError = 0 Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]I/O error while reading BCP format file Here is the template file: 8.0 3 1 SQLCHAR 0 20 "|" 1 SLN SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS 2 SQLCHAR 0 0 "|" 0 dontwant SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS 3 SQLCHAR 0 7000 "\r\n" 2 Remarks SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS Txt import file sample: 12344556|2|Whole lot of text here 12344557|1|Whole lot of text here 2 Destination table: CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Remarks_Temp] ( [SLN] [varchar] (20) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL , [Remarks] [varchar] (7000) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] GO The second column in the text file is what I want to ignore. I have looked at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/adminsql/ad_impt_bcp_57qd.asp many many times, but there example is too convenient, I don't have ability to modify the source text file to move the uneeded columns at the end of the row. Thanks, Chuck
Hi
THis is working for me!!! 8.0 3 1 SQLCHAR 0 20 "|" 1 SLN SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS 2 SQLCHAR 0 1 "|" 0 Dummy SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS 3 SQLCHAR 0 7000 "\r\n" 2 Remarks SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS The only difference seems that the second column needs a length.

Hi Chuck,
I remember encountering this error message when there was a missing <CR><LF> at the end of the format file. Just open the format file with any text editor and add <enter> at the end of the last line.

This did the trick. Now how am I going to automate this? Any ideas?

HI chuck,
You can create a SQL Server Agent job with a Command Shell step (or use a T-SQL step with BULK Insert) to run the import on schedule / on demand.
