Hi All,

I am facing issue while bulk inserting CSV files in database tables.

What I have tried:

We tried changing the collate in lower environment. But it is uploading it properly.

Please show the code where you try to assign the decimal value to the database field.

I think it depends on the computer local and not on the database collation...
You may also try using format-file on BULK INSERT...

Found this on Experts Exchange for BCP.exe (don't know if you use this or the BulkCopy command)

C#

-- You could create a view with the appropriate replacements and bcp from that

 create view v_products
 select 
 ProductID, 
 ProductName, 
 replace(convert(varchar,UnitPrice),'.',',') UnitPrice
 from Northwind.dbo.products

Another option might be to use the -R option:

Quote:
-R
Specifies that currency, date, and time data is bulk copied into SQL Server using the regional format defined for the locale setting of the client computer. By default, regional settings are ignored.
