SQL Server 2012 Bulk Insert from CSV into temp table - sql

Question

As the title says, I am attempting to insert a CSV into a temporary table. I am unfortunately encountering errors.
Here is the query:
USE DATABASE5000
CREATE TABLE #tempTable1
(
ID INT,
CD VARCHAR(50),
ESD DATETIME,
EED DATETIME,
MiscDate DATETIME,
SQ SMALLINT
)
BULK INSERT #tempTable1
FROM 'C:\Dir\Folder\BestFile.csv';
And here are the errors I get:
Msg 4832, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Bulk load: An unexpected end of file was encountered in the data file.
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".
Any ideas? Thanks yall.

You didn't specified any FIELDTERMINATOR. The default value is actually tab. Please refer to BULK INSERT documentation.
BULK INSERT #tempTable1
FROM 'C:\Dir\Folder\BestFile.csv'
WITH
(
FIELDTERMINATOR = ',' -- add this
);
According to documentation, there is a FORMAT = CSV
WITH (FORMAT = 'CSV')
You may try that. I did a quick test, there are some limitations it seems like does not support string with double quote in it
