Bulk insert in SQL Server

Question

I have created SSIS package that imports data to my table from csv, I am trying to reproduce SSIS via sql command, more specifically, with bulk insert statement, could you help?

csv file properties:

Answer 1

You can use Bulk Insert for the purpose:

BULK INSERT table_name
FROM 'c:\test.csv'
WITH
(
   FIRSTROW= 3,
   FIELDTERMINATOR = ';',
   ROWTERMINATOR = '\n'
)

Answer 2

You can use this piece of code

StreamReader file = new StreamReader(bulk_data_filename);
CsvReader csv = new CsvReader(file, true,',');
SqlBulkCopy copy = new SqlBulkCopy(conn);
copy.DestinationTableName = tablename;
copy.WriteToServer(csv);

Answer 3

Followng is not using bulk insert command – but using SqlBulkCopy class in .Net for SSIS script task

Following is the script task for copying data from one table into it's history database (in another server) using Bulk Copy approach inside SSIS Script task. It uses ADO Connection in SSIS.

    Dim tableName As String = Dts.Variables("User::CurrentTable").Value.ToString()
    Dim sourceConnection As SqlConnection
    Dim destinationConnection As SqlConnection

    Try
        ' Retrieve the reference to the managed connection'
        Dim cmSource As ConnectionManager
        cmSource = Dts.Connections("ADOSourceConnection")
        sourceConnection = DirectCast(cmSource.AcquireConnection(Dts.Transaction), System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection)

        Dim cmDestination As ConnectionManager
        cmDestination = Dts.Connections("ADOACIConnection")
        destinationConnection = DirectCast(cmDestination.AcquireConnection(Dts.Transaction), System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection)

        Dim destinationConnectionString As String = destinationConnection.ConnectionString
        MessageBox.Show(destinationConnectionString)
        PerformBulkCopy(tableName, sourceConnection, destinationConnection)

        'Release Connection'
        cmSource.ReleaseConnection(sourceConnection)
        cmDestination.ReleaseConnection(destinationConnection)

        'Success'
        Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success


    Catch ex As Exception

        Dim exceptionVariable As Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Variables = Nothing
        Dts.VariableDispenser.LockOneForWrite("User::ScriptException", exceptionVariable)
        exceptionVariable("User::ScriptException").Value = ex.Message
        exceptionVariable.Unlock()
        Dts.Events.FireError(-1, "Task Name", ex.Message, String.Empty, 0)
        Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Failure
     End Try
