    <p>EDIT: you <em>don't</em> need a format file:</p> <pre><code>IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#rawdata') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #rawdata create table #rawdata ( xyz_id VARCHAR(200) , notes text , create_date varchar(32) , modify_date varchar(32) , create_user varchar(12) , modify_user varchar(12) ) BULK INSERT #rawdata FROM 'C:\temp\file.txt' WITH ( FIELDTERMINATOR = '**|**' , ROWTERMINATOR = '**|**\n' , TABLOCK ) SELECT * FROM #rawdata </code></pre> <p>You may need to play with <code>**|**\n</code> (LF) vs <code>**|**\r\n</code> (CRLF) vs <code>**|**\r</code> (CR), depending on whether the file is Unix, DOS or MAC-like.</p> <p>/EDIT</p> <p>It can't be done without a format file. So, create a format file:</p> <pre><code>8.0 7 1 SQLCHAR 0 0 "**|**" 1 xyz_id "" 2 SQLCHAR 0 0 "**|**" 2 notes "" 3 SQLCHAR 0 0 "**|**" 3 create_date "" 4 SQLCHAR 0 0 "**|**" 4 modify_date "" 5 SQLCHAR 0 0 "**|**" 5 create_user "" 6 SQLCHAR 0 0 "**|**" 6 modify_user "" 7 SQLCHAR 0 0 "\n" 0 omitted "" </code></pre> <p>Then: </p> <pre><code>IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#rawdata') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #rawdata create table #rawdata ( xyz_id VARCHAR(200) , notes text , create_date varchar(32) , modify_date varchar(32) , create_user varchar(12) , modify_user varchar(12) ) BULK INSERT #rawdata FROM '\\folder\file.txt' WITH ( FORMATFILE = '\\folder\file.fmt' , TABLOCK ) </code></pre> <p>Or, in SQL 2005+:</p> <pre><code>SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET( BULK '\\folder\file.txt' , FORMATFILE = '\\folder\file.fmt' ) a </code></pre>

    3. COPeter, I tried the solution but I get the same error. I modified the "\n" to "|\n" in the format file. I get this error: Server: Msg 4866, Level 17, State 66, Line 1 Bulk Insert fails. Column is too long in the data file for row 1, column 1. Make sure the field terminator and row terminator are specified correctly. Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 OLE DB provider 'STREAM' reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error. OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'STREAM' IRowset::GetNextRows returned 0x80004005:

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).
