| Hi,A SQL procedure is doing a bulk insert from a file to a table and it fails.Usually it fails due to date format issues. I checked the file and the date formats were fine. Im not able to figure out any other format issue in the file.While doing bulk insert, is there any way to trap which row identified by primary key is erroring out.This is possible in oracle. Is there a way in SQL Server.Thanks!!! |

| You can find errored rows if you use ssis by adding OnError action to redirect row.Otherwise you might have to do it it two stepsfirst get file data onto staging table, then do required validations to find offending rows and insert the correct ones.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs |

Still if you want row wise tracking of errors you obviously need a row by row parsing mechanism. That can only be possible using SSIS file source or using staging table approachAlternatively you could use a language like .NET to create a file system object and load and parse the file but again that can cause performance issues especially for large files.My preferred method is using Staging table approach if in T-sql or using SSIS otherwise.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs |
