Bulk Insert - Incorrect syntax near ' '. in SQL Server 2008

Question

I am using Java code to insert a data in SQL Server 2008. I am getting below error.

    Statement st = null;
    Connection con = null;
    String loadQuery = "";
    Class.forName(com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver);
    con =              DriverManager.getConnection(jdbc:sqlserver://11.11.112.123:1433;DatabaseName=test123, test, test);
   st = con.createStatement();
 loadQuery = "BULK INSERT testres FROM  'D:\RTTM\NTB\Data\GDW\Files\ACCif.csv' WITH ( FIRSTROW=2, FIELDTERMINATOR = ',', ROWTERMINATOR = '\n')";
 System.out.println(loadQuery);
st.executeUpdate(loadQuery);

Query

BULK INSERT testres FROM  'D:\RTTM\NTB\Data\GDW\Files\ACCif.csv' WITH ( FIRSTROW=2, FIELDTERMINATOR = ',', ROWTERMINATOR = '\n')

Error

Incorrect syntax near ' '.

Answer 1

您可以在D:\\RTTM\\NTB\\Data\\GDW\\Files\\ACCif.csv吗？

Answer 2

loadQuery = "BULK INSERT testres FROM  'D:\RTTM\NTB\Data\GDW\Files\ACCif.csv' WITH ( FIRSTROW=2, FIELDTERMINATOR = ',', ROWTERMINATOR = '\n')";

The above statements has a lot of backslashes and as you would know the '\\' in a java string is used to indicate start of an escape sequence. When the loadQuery variable is used internally it will result in a broken sql being fired. So your can do below

loadQuery = "BULK INSERT testres FROM  'D:\\RTTM\\NTB\\Data\\GDW\\Files\\ACCif.csv' WITH ( FIRSTROW=2, FIELDTERMINATOR = ',', ROWTERMINATOR = '\\n')";

From the syntax error suggested in stack trace i suspect that most likely the query breaks at the '\\n' character being presented to the SQL interpreter as a SQL string ' ' spread over two lines rather than your original intent of sending it as '\\n'
