sql server - Bulk insert fmt text qualifier -

-

i've bulk insert task takes data csv , imports table. problem 1 of columns can contain comma, import doesn't work expected.

i've tried fix creating format (fmt) file, contents of i've detailed below:-

9.0 6 1       sqlchar       0       50      ","       1     "identifier"                                 latin1_general_ci_as 2       sqlchar       0       50      ","       2     "name"                                             latin1_general_ci_as 3       sqlchar       0       50      ","       3     "date of birth"                                            latin1_general_ci_as 4       sqlchar       0       50      ","       4     "admission"                                                latin1_general_ci_as 5       sqlchar       0       50      ","       5     "code"                               latin1_general_ci_as 6       sqlchar       0       50      "\r\n"   6     "length"                                                      latin1_general_ci_as

the column causing me pain column 2 "name".

i've tried couple of things identify column being text qualified , containing comma i'm not getting result want.

if change following:-

"\"," - -- "richardson, mat

this isn't correct, tried instead, suggested on other forums / sites:-

"\",\""

this doesn't work @ , gives me error 

cannot obtain required interface ("iid_icolumnsinfo") ole db provider "bulk" linked server "(null)".bulk load: unexpected end of file encountered in data file.

i've tried few other combinations , can't right. or guidance massively appreciated.

not answering question regarding format files possible working solution.

format files incomprehensible arcana 1980s me, bulk insert uber fussy , unforgiving. therefore tend clean data few lines of powershell instead. here's example used convert csv pipe separated, remove random quoting on output , allow commas in records:

import-csv -path  $dirtycsv |  convertto-csv  -notype -delimiter '|' |  %{ $_.replace('"','') } |  out-file $cleancsv

you idea...

this imported:

bulk insert sometable 'clean.csv' ( firstrow = 2, fieldterminator = '|', rowterminator = '\n' )

hope helps.
