Bulk Insert but the Primary Key is Null
So I know that PK's can't be null, but I've been tasked with bulk inserting data from a .txt file(s) but the PK's in the files are NULL. I'm stumped and I don't actually know how to get around this.
The table creation:
CREATE TABLE BILLING (
FolioBillingID smallint NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
FolioID smallint NOT NULL FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES
FOLIO(FolioID),
BillingCategoryID smallint NOT NULL FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES
BILLINGCATEGORY(BillingCategoryID),
BillingDescription char(30) NOT NULL,
BillingAmount smallmoney NOT NULL,
BillingItemQty tinyint NOT NULL,
BillingItemDate date NOT NULL)
Here's an example from the .txt file I need to insert:
|1|1|Room|99|1|5/2/2018
|1|2|Lodging Tax|11.14|1|5/2/2018
|1|1|Room|99|1|5/3/2018
And this is how I'm trying to bulk insert:
BULK INSERT BILLING FROM 'c:stagefarms1-1Billing.txt'
WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR='|', FIRSTROW=1)
Is there a way around this? And if so, how would I go about it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)
