I'm trying to populate a temp table, and I'm getting this error
Msg 8152, Level 16, State 14, Line 1
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.
Hmmmm ... here's what I'm trying.
I created two temp tables and populated #emails from a spreadsheet (text cvs)
CREATE TABLE #emails(
email VARCHAR(40) PRIMARY KEY
)
CREATE TABLE #contacts(
email VARCHAR(40) PRIMARY KEY,
company VARCHAR(40),
name VARCHAR(40),
phone VARCHAR(40)
)
BULK INSERT #emails
FROM 'E:DatabasesAndStorage\tempDBStorage\download.csv'
WITH
(
FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
ROWTERMINATOR = '\n'
)
GO
Now I want to insert a bunch of records into #contacts from a query.
I started off testing my SELECT query by running it alone.
SELECT cont.primaryemailaddress AS email, cont.companyname AS company, cont.contactname AS name, cont.primaryphone AS phone
FROM companycontact AS cont, #emails
WHERE #emails.email = cont.primaryemailaddress
It runs great. 306 results, no errors.
But, when I try adding the INSERT part like this:
INSERT INTO #contacts (email, company, name, phone)
SELECT cont.primaryemailaddress AS email, cont.companyname AS company, cont.contactname AS name, cont.primaryphone AS phone
FROM companycontact AS cont, #emails
WHERE #emails.email = cont.primaryemailaddress
I get an error:
Msg 8152, Level 16, State 14, Line 1
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.
error.
Any thoughts??
What am I missing??
