将CSV从Linux导入Azure SQL Server

Question

I have an Azure SQL Server database and a linux box. I have a csv file on the linux machine that I want to import into SQL Server. I have a table already created where I am going to import this file.

Why does this command return an Unknown argument: -U ?

bcp table in ~/test.csv -U myUsername -S databaseServerName -d dbName -q -c -t

When I rearrange the arguments passed to bcp like below, it returns an Unknown argument: -S

bcp table in ~/test.csv -S databaseServerName -d dbName -U myUsername -q -c -t

Answer 1

So contrary to the documentation:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/tools/bcp-utility?redirectedfrom=MSDN&view=sql-server-2017#U

I hit issues where bcp does not like spaces after the argument names.

quote from the article above:

//

The other syntax sugar is that there is no space after the -S argument. As seen below

-SMyServerName\\MyInstanceName

bcp.exe "SELECT cast(LastName as char(50)) , cast(FirstName as char(50)) , cast(MiddleName as char(50)) , cast(Suffix as char(50)) FROM MyAdventureWorksDB.Person.Person ORDER BY NEWID()" queryout PeopleRock.txt -c -t -T -SMyServerName\\MyInstanceName

check your syntax sugar in linux (below example is from above easysoft link)

./bcp AdventureWorks.HumanResources.myTeam in ~/myTeam.csv \\ -f ~/myTeam.Fmt -U mydomain\\myuser -S mymachine\\sqlexpress

Note the above has the dbname.schemaname.tablename (before the "in" word above)
