Hi All,
I am updating a bulk of records into the first two columns of a table using BCP-IN.

The data file is created using a java code which gets the data from the LDAP and stores in CSV format.

bcp databasename.table in "mydatafile.csv" -u "admin"- S "my host" -P "password" -w

I tired this many times only to get EOF exception.
Please tell what could be the problem with this. If somebody could help asap it would be great.

I tired storing the data from LDAP as xls, also but i get a Sting Data, Right Truncation. As this is gona be a automated process.
LDAP->CSV or XLS ->DB. I dont know what is wrong with bcp or my input data file.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Prasanna

-w?
What are your field terminators? If it is comma separated try
-w -t,
Also look at the file - excel often puts some blank lines at the end.
Try just bcping in the first line.

I prefer bulk insert to bcp, it shouldn't matter too much but it handles a few things bcp doesn't.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
