ErrorFilePath Property

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The ErrorFilePath property specifies the full path and full file name of a bulk-copy operation error log file.

Syntax

object.ErrorFilePath [=value]

Parts

  • object
    An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

  • value
    A string that specifies an operating system file

Data Type

String

Modifiable

Read/write

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetErrorFilePath(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetErrorFilePath(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);

Note

SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference using SysFreeString.

Remarks

Microsoft SQL Server bulk copying logs errors to a file when an error file is provided on bulk copy initialization. When errors occur, the bulk copy operation continues to process rows until a maximum number of allowed errors is reached. If that maximum is reached, the error logging file is closed and the bulk copy operation stops.

Set the MaximumErrorsBeforeAbort property to set the limiting number of allowed errors in a bulk-copy operation.
