    <p>I just want to import two columns from a flat file into a new table. I have set one column, 'Code', to be <code>varchar(50)</code>, and another column, 'Description', to be <code>nvarchar(max)</code>.</p> <p>The import fails with the following messages:</p> <pre><code>- Executing (Error) Messages Error 0xc02020a1: Data Flow Task 1: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "Description" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard) Error 0xc020902a: Data Flow Task 1: The "output column "Description" (14)" failed because truncation occurred, and the truncation row disposition on "output column "Description" (14)" specifies failure on truncation. A truncation error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard) Error 0xc0202092: Data Flow Task 1: An error occurred while processing file "C:\Users\rinaldo.tempo\Desktop\ICD10_Edition4_CodesAndTitlesAndMetadata_GB_20120401.txt" on data row 3. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard) Error 0xc0047038: Data Flow Task 1: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRIMEOUTPUTFAILED. The PrimeOutput method on component "Source - ICD10_Edition4_CodesAndTitlesAndMetadata_GB_20120401_txt" (1) returned error code 0xC0202092. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard) </code></pre> <p>The error message suggests to me that data is getting truncated as it's being placed in the 'Description' column, which is of type <code>nvarchar(max)</code>! Having eyeballed the input data, I would say the descriptions are never more than around 2 or 300 characters, so this is out of the question.</p> <p>Can anyone suggest what is wrong here?</p>

    2. COYou have now been hazed. Welcome to the pain of SSIS. For an import this simple try `bcp`.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
