  Hi All -

  What I am looking to do is use a Bulk Insert to import a cvs file to a table. This table is for zip code rates (tax's based on zip codes). When do so using this code:

  Bulk insert ziptaxrate

  from 'C:\ziptest.csv'

  with

  (fieldterminator = ',',

  rowterminator = '')

  GO

  I then get the following error:

  Msg 4864, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

  Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 1, column 3 (TaxClassID).

  This is the table build (also attached) :

  USE [Store1]

  GO

  /****** Object: Table [dbo].[ZipTaxRate] Script Date: 06/09/2014 09:39:21 ******/

  SET ANSI_NULLS ON

  GO

  SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

  GO

  CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ZipTaxRate](

  [ZipTaxID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,

  [ZipCode] [nvarchar](10) NOT NULL,

  [TaxClassID] [int] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_ZipTaxRate_TaxClassID] DEFAULT ((1)),

  [TaxRate] [money] NULL,

  [CreatedOn] [datetime] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_ZipTaxRate_CreatedOn] DEFAULT (getdate()),

  CONSTRAINT [PK_ZipTaxRate] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED

  (

  [ZipTaxID] ASC

  )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]

  ) ON [PRIMARY]

  Attached are screen shots also and the csv test file.

  Any help would be great.

  It isn't necessary to post in more than one forum. It just duplicates effort for those helping and fragments any answers you get.
