What is more interesting here is SQL Server R service is installed with an enhanced and tailored for SQL Server 2016 R package RevoScaleR package, which contains some handy functions. However, since any data analysis work naturally needs to deal with external data sources, among which is CSV file, we can use this capability to our advantage. The main purpose of R language is for data analysis, especially, in statistics way. T-SQL integrates R via a new stored procedure: sp_execute_external_script. For detailed installation, please see Set up SQL Server R Services (In-Database) To use R inside SQL Server 2016, we should first install the R Service in-Database. In this article, we will demonstrate how to use R embedded inside T-SQL to do import / export work.
This dilemma is changed since the release of SQL Server 2016, which has R integrated. Writing a CLR stored procedure or using PowerShellįor export, we can use the following methodsīut to do both import and export inside T-SQL, currently, the only way is via a custom CLR stored procedure. The daily csv files are in excess of 600,000 rows, and growing, so manually processing each file is a bit of an exercise.Importing and exporting CSV files is a common task to DBAs from time to time.įor import, we can use the following methods I've asked the third party vendor to send pipe delimited text files instead but they cannot accommodate that request.
WITH (FORMATFILE = 'C:\DataDumps\Bulk_Insert\TransactionsImport.fmt', My bulk insert script looks something like: BULK INSERT dbo.Transactions_Raw_TempįROM 'C:\DataDumps\FileDelivery\Transactions.csv' Even though the comma is within a set of double quotes, when attempting to bulk insert the files into SQL Server by way of a bulk insert command, everything after the comma is placed in the next field. There are times where the values contain commas (For example: "In memory of John Doe, may this donation."). Their developers wrap the values within the fields in double quotes. I receive a set number of CSV files each day from a third party vendor.
