HiI am currently trying to import a flat file (.csv file) into SQL Server Management Studio via the Import Wizard and am encountering a few problems. Although all the columns in my table are set to "Allow Nulls" (except the Primary Key) it won't import a chunk of rows at the end of my csv file for no obvious reason except that they have alot of empty column values. The only way I seem to be able to import all of the rows successfully is to set nearly all of the columns in the table to be data type nvarchar - which is not efficient. Is there any potential reasons why the wizard is refusing to import these rows with many empty columns in them? Also, a Unicode definition would be very useful to help fully understand the need for nvarchar data type.Many Thanks |
