Hi ,

I am trying to pump a 60 MB data into a database through a job which is being executed manually . After some time I am getting an error message that :

DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1: The number of failing rows exceeds the maximum specified. Error source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Data Pump Help file: sqldts80.hlp Help context: 0 Error Detail Records: . The step failed.

The source file a falt file and through DTS it uploads it into DB .
Can someone on this error message ?

Thank you very much .

It just means that it has exceeded the specified max errors.
Probably some entries in the file are incorrect.


(You would probably find bulk insert simpler and faster).

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

Hello nr,

Yes i guessed that the source file received could be incorrect .
I asked for another copy and executed the DTS again. This time it was successful .

Thanks for your reply .
