Symptoms

In Microsoft SQL Server 2005 with Service Pack 1 (SP1), when you use the BULK INSERT statement to bulk import a data file into a table, the bulk import operation fails. Additionally, you receive the following error message:
Location: lockbyte.cpp:445
Expression: colid > 0
SPID: [spidvalue]
Process ID: [processIDvalue]
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 3
Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".
Msg 3624, Level 20, State 1, Line 3
A system assertion check has failed. Check the SQL Server error log for details
This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:
  • You apply the hotfix that is described in Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) article 935446 on the computer that is running Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP1.
  • You have a table that has a column of large object (LOB) data.
  • You want to bulk import a particular data file into the table.
  • The data file contains a column of data. You want to import this column of data into the column of LOB data in the table.
  • The data file contains another column of LOB data that has no corresponding column in the table. You skip this column during the import process.

↑ Back to the top

Cause

SQL Server 2005 uses an interface to set up the bulk load provider. The interface creates orphan LOB values for bulk operations. SQL Server 2005 sets up the bulk load provider for the following columns of LOB data:
  • The column that exists in the table.
  • The column that does not have the corresponding column in the table.
When SQL Server 2005 tries to create an orphan LOB value for the column that does not have the corresponding column in the table, an error occurs.
