Each batch is copied to the server as one transaction. If this fails, SQL Server commits or rolls back the transaction for every batch. By default, all data in the specified data file is one batch. For information about performance considerations, see "Remarks," later in this topic. ...
BCP is faster in most cases then BULK Insert.
Bulk insert is the fastest way to load data into SQL Server, especially if it is minimally logged. The data source can only be a text file.
I am trying to insert the data from this link to my SQL server https://www.ian.com/affiliatecenter/include/V2/CityCoordinatesList.zip
I created the table
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblCityCoordinatesList](
[RegionID] [int] NOT NULL,
[RegionName] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[Coordinates] [nvarchar](4000) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
And I am running the following script to do the bulk insert
BULK INSERT tblCityCoordinatesList
FROM 'C:\data\CityCoordinatesList.txt'
WITH
(
FIRSTROW = 2,
MAXERRORS = 0,
FIELDTERMINATOR = '|',
ROWTERMINATOR = '\n'
)
But the bulk insert fails with following error
Cannot obtain the required interface ("IID_IColumnsInfo") from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".
When I google, I found several articles which says the issue may be with RowTerminator, but I tried everything like /n/r, /n etc, but nothing is working.
Could anyone please help me to insert this data into my database?
