Getting this error when trying to import data from txt to my Db
17 values were expected, but found 13. (near "(" at position 20627)
The line of data where the problem appears is this:
('35','835','835','32','57804','Ex sit at id et.','Fanopoiia','14660.36347','10','Funk','Mixanikos','835','Duchess; 'and most of 'em do.' 'I don't see any.','1982-07-02 141548','7','Nai','1973-01-25 060239'),
You may escape the apostrophes with double qoutes: ''
Check How to insert a value that contains an apostrophe (single quote)?

I am trying to load some csv data to a Snowflake table. However, I am facing some issues with double double quotes in some rows of the file.
This is the file format I was using inside COPY INTO command:
file_format=(TYPE=CSV,
FIELD_DELIMITER = '|',
FIELD_OPTIONALLY_ENCLOSED_BY='"',
SKIP_HEADER =1);
As you can see in the example below, I have double double quotes around ID, which is a data quality problem, but I have to deal with it because
Column1|Column2|Column3|Column4|Column5|Column6|Column7|""ID""|Column9
I cannot change it in its source. I tried to replace the double double quotes ("") by a single double quote ("), as the below example depicts:
However, Snowflake is still returning the same error:
Found character 'I' instead of field delimiter '|' File 'XXXX', line 709, character 75 Row 708, column "Column8"["$8":8] If you would like to continue loading when an error is encountered, use other values such as 'SKIP_FILE' or 'CONTINUE' for the ON_ERROR option. For more information on loading options, please run 'info loading_data' in a SQL client.
Do you know how can I deal with this, allowing the file content to be properly loaded into Snowflake table?
I was trying to load the data from the csv file into the Oracle sql developer, when inserting the data I encountered the error which says:
Line contains invalid enclosed character data or delimiter at position
I am not sure how to tackle this problem!
For Example:
INSERT INTO PROJECT_LIST (Project_Number, Name, Manager, Projects_M,
Project_Type, In_progress, at_deck, Start_Date, release_date, For_work, nbr,
List, Expenses) VALUES ('5770','"Program Cardinal
(Agile)','','','','','',to_date('', 'YYYY-MM-DD'),'','','','','');
The Error shown were:
--Insert failed for row 4
--Line contains invalid enclosed character data or delimiter at position 79.
--Row 4
I've had success when I've converted the csv file to excel by "save as", then changing the format to .xlsx. I then load in SQL developer the .xlsx version. I think the conversion forces some of the bad formatting out. It worked at least on my last 2 files.
I fixed it by using the concatenate function in my CSV file first and then uploaded it on sql, which worked.
My guess is that it doesn't like to_date('', 'YYYY-MM-DD'). It's missing a date to format. Is that an actual input of your data?
But it could also possibly be the double quote in "Program Cardinal (Agile). Though I don't see why that would get picked up as an invalid character.
I am a beginner to database management. Currently,I am trying to import a csv file using HeidiSQL from MS Access. I was able to import 5 of 6 tables properly. On the last one, I am constantly getting
Incorrect string value: '\xE1' to ...' for column 'Desc' at row 1248856 *
For numerous rows. From my research, I've tried numerous permutations of chinging the data type of "desc" to text, longblob,
changing the "default collation" to: utf8mb4-unicode_ci, changing "encoding" to UTF-8 Unicode (utf8mb4).
But nothing has worked thus far. Can someone tell me how to correct this?
I figured it out by changing encoding to "Western European" and removing backslashes that were escaping " characters that surrounded my fields.
I have a string that is read from an excel file. String is ¬©K!n?8)©}gH"$.F!r'&(®
I keep getting the following error. When running the insert statement
ERROR [42601] [IBM][CLI Driver][DB2/NT] SQL0007N The character "\" following " K!n?8) }gH""$.F!r'" is not valid. SQLSTATE=42601
How do I do this insert with the \ character in the string? The Character causing the problem might also be the &.
Its a DB2 Database
Thanks
It depends on which interface you are sending the insert statement.
In my experience, it is most probably the typewriter single quote character (') which makes the problem.
INSERT INTO TEMP.CHAR_TEST
VALUES ('¬©K!n?8)©}gH"$.F!r''&(®');
works fine for me, but notice that I have changed ' to '' (insert another single quote after the existing one).
My bulk insert in SSIS is failing when a field contains a comma character. My flat file source is tab delimited and there are many instances in which a text field will contain commas. For example, a UserComment may have a comma. This causes the bulk insert to fail.
How can I tell SSIS to ignore the commas? I thought it would happen automatically since the row delimiter is {CR}{LF} and the column delimiter is "Tab". Why does it bark at the comma? Also please note that I am NOT currently using a format file.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE:
Here is the error I get in SSIS:
Error: 0xC002F304 at Bulk Insert Task, Bulk Insert Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 183, column 5 (EmailAddress).Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 182, column 5 (EmailAddress).Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 181, column 5 (EmailAddress).".

It seems to fail on record 131988 which is why I think it's because of the "something,something" email with no space. Many records before 131988 come across fine.
131988 01 MEMPHIS, TN someone#somewhere.com
131988 02 NORTH LITTLE ROCK, AR someone#somewhere.com,someone1#somewhere1.com
131988 03 HOUSTON, TX someone#somewhere.com,someone1#somewhere1.com
I doubt the comma or the # sign is being called an "invalid character".
I see there are two tabs in the input record just before the field that contains the email addresses, so that email address column would be the fifth column. But when the error message refers to "column 5" it's presumably using zero-based indexing, so the email column is only index 4. Is there tab and another column? Maybe the invalid character is there.
I suspect there is a invisible bad character embedded in whatever column is causing the error. I often pick up bad characters when cutting and pasting out of email address lines, so that's a likely suspect.
Run the failing line by itself to make sure it still fails.
Then copy it into, say, Notepad, and do a "Save As" with the Encoding set to ANSI. (It may complain at that point if there's a bad character.) Use the "Save As" file as the new import file. At this point you should be able to be reasonably confident that "what you see is what you get", and that there are no invisible characters embedded in the import file.
If this turns out to be the problem, you'll need some way to verify that future import files are clean, or else handle them somehow during the import process.
(I presume you've checked the destination column length is okay. That would definitely be a showstopper.)
"Type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage" is a misleading error message. The source table's field length exceeded the destination table's specified length and thus the error. After adjusting lengths, everything worked properly.
