DTSBulkInsert_DataFileType Enumeration

Defines the type of file that provides the source data.

Namespace:  Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.BulkInsertTask
Assembly:  Microsoft.SqlServer.BulkInsertTask (in Microsoft.SqlServer.BulkInsertTask.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Enumeration DTSBulkInsert_DataFileType
'Usage
Dim instance As DTSBulkInsert_DataFileType
public enum DTSBulkInsert_DataFileType
public enum class DTSBulkInsert_DataFileType
type DTSBulkInsert_DataFileType
public enum DTSBulkInsert_DataFileType

Members

Member name Description
DTSBulkInsert_DataFileType_Char Character format (default value).
DTSBulkInsert_DataFileType_Native Native (database) data types. Create the native data file by bulk copying data from SQL Server using the bcp utility.

The widenative value offers higher performance than the char data type.

DTSBulkInsert_DataFileType_WideChar Unicode characters.
DTSBulkInsert_DataFileType_WideNative Native (database) data types, except in char, varchar, and text columns, which store data as Unicode. Create the widenative data file by bulk copying data from SQL Server using the bcp utility.

The widenative offers higher performance than widechar. If the data file contains ANSI extended characters, specify 'widenative'.

Remarks

The Bulk Insert task provides the quickest way to copy large amounts of data into a SQL Server table or view. For more information, see Bulk Insert Task and bcp Utility.

Examples

The following example creates a BulkInsertTask, then shows the default settings of the properties, using the TaskHost. It then sets two fields, one of them being the DataFileType, which uses this enumeration, to show how to set field values.
