Would it be possible to have a windows path example? No matter what combination I try I still get "failed to import table" or "filename must have absolute path". copy into staging_simple_results from ('D:\junk\simple_import.csv') delimiters ',', '\r\n'; copy into staging_simple_results from ('D:/junk/simple_import.csv') delimiters ',', '\r\n'; copy into staging_simple_results from ('D:\\junk\\simple_import.csv') delimiters ',', '\r\n'; copy into staging_simple_results from ('\junk\simple_import.csv') delimiters ',', '\r\n'; copy into staging_simple_results from ('\\junk\\simple_import.csv') delimiters ',', '\r\n'; copy into staging_simple_results from ('/junk/simple_import.csv') delimiters ',', '\r\n'; I have been away from MonetDB for about six years and wanted to reevaluate it for a new idea I have. I remember doing bulk inserts back then but cannot remember the syntax for windows drive paths. in mssql, the bcp utility has the ability to put errors into a separate file making it a lot easier to troubleshoot problems. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162802(v=sql.90).aspx ________________________________ From: Stefan Manegold <Stefan.Manegold@cwi.nl> To: Communication channel for MonetDB users <users-list@monetdb.org> Sent: Wednesday, November 27, 2013 8:26 AM Subject: Re: copy into failed to import table Please use correct(ly quoted) delimiters: sql>CREATE TABLE staging_simple_results( more>lookup varchar(20) NULL, more>extra_symbol varchar(20) NULL, more>measure1 tinyint NULL, more>base_temp float NULL more>) more>; operation successful (2.293ms) sql> sql>copy into staging_simple_results from ('/tmp/simple_import.csv') delimiters ',', '\\r\\n'; failed to import table sql>copy into staging_simple_results from '/tmp/simple_import.csv' delimiters ',', '\\r\\n'; failed to import table sql>copy into staging_simple_results from ('/tmp/simple_import.csv') delimiters ',', '\r\n'; 2 affected rows (72.238ms) sql>copy into staging_simple_results from '/tmp/simple_import.csv' delimiters ',', '\r\n'; 2 affected rows (71.465ms) sql> Best, Stefan ----- Original Message -----
I am using the latest version. MonetDB 5 server v11.15.17 "Feb2013-SP5". The server and client are running under my account. The files and folders were also created with my account.
Here is a simpler version which also encounters the "failed to import table" message.
CREATE TABLE staging_simple_results( lookup varchar(20) NULL, extra_symbol varchar(20) NULL, measure1 tinyint NULL, base_temp float NULL ) ;
Here are the contents of the same input, in a file called D:\junk\simple_import.csv. The file is also attached. one,two,3,4.023456787 green,brown,2,8.3456837
This is the statement I issued for the bulk load. copy into staging_simple_results from ('D:\junk\simple_import.csv') delimiters ',', '\\r\\n' ;

I created a table with 43 columns. The table contains char, varchar, and tinyint datatypes. I am running on Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit. The file contains two rows and is comma separated. The file is BCP output from MSSQL. When I tried to bulk load into the table from a file with a COPY INTO command I got an unhelpful message.
"failed to import table"
How can I find out why the import failed?
Which version of MonetDB are you using? I seem to remember fixing a problem where the actual failure message wasn't propagated to the level where the error was reported.
