I would like to do a bulk insert into SQL Server 2000 from an XML file. I've been googling, trying a few things but don't seem to be able to get it to work.
My format file ("getEventPerformersMapping.xml") looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" ?> <Schema xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data" xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml:datatypes" xmlns:sql="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-sql" > <ElementType name="EventID" dt:type="i8" /> <ElementType name="PerformerID" dt:type="int" /> <ElementType name="PerformerName" dt:type="string" /> <ElementType name="ROOT" sql:is-constant="1"> <element type="EventPerformer" /> </ElementType> <ElementType name="EventPerformer" sql:relation="EventPerformer"> <element type="EventID" sql:field="EventID" /> <element type="PerformerID" sql:field="PerformerID" /> <element type="PerformerName" sql:field="PerformerName" /> </ElementType> </Schema> My XML file ("getEventPerformers.txt") looks like this: <ROOT> <EventPerformer> <EventID>448410</EventID> <PerformerID>3160</PerformerID> <PerformerName>Lion King</PerformerName> </EventPerformer> <EventPerformer> <EventID>448412</EventID> <PerformerID>3160</PerformerID> <PerformerName>Lion King</PerformerName> </EventPerformer> </ROOT> My Query looks like this: <cfquery datasource="db_events" name="doInserts"> BULK INSERT tbl_EventPerformers FROM 'D:\Websites\globalFunctions\getEventPerformers.txt' WITH (FORMATFILE='D:\Websites\globalFunctions\getEventPerformersMapping.xml') </cfquery> The error I'm getting is this: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Could not bulk insert. Unknown version of format file 'D:\Websites\globalFunctions\getEventPerformersMapping.xml'. Any help would be appreciated. I'd love to be able to use bulk insert instead of a one hundred thousand count loop with inserts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:317027 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
