Hi

When trying to import a large amount of data from a flatfile (.csv) I get the following error message:-

Attempting to grow LOB beyond maximum allowed size of 2,147,483,647 bytes.

The size of the file I am attempting to import is 7310069 KB


I am using the 'Bulk Insert' statement at present to import inside a SP, this then allows me to automate the import, is there a way I can import the file in smaller chunks, or is there a workaround for this?
