I am not very experienced so please bear with me.
I have been attempting to import a 2500 MB and 3800 MB CSV into SQL Server 2016. Unfortunately I keep getting the System.OutOfMemoryException error. My computer has 8.00 GB RAM so I figured I would just increase the max server memory from the default up to 4000 MB. For some reason though each time I try to change the max server memory to make it higher it changes back to default the moment I press OK. How do I fix this problem?
I am using BULK INSERT
to import the data. The BATCHSIZE
, KILOBYTES_PER_BATCH
, and ROW_PER_BATCH
arguments are not set.
UPDATE
I have decided to split up my CSV document so that I can import less of it at a time. Unfortunately by the time I try to import the last piece of my CSV the error shows up again.
UPDATE
I have managed to substantially increase the max server memory to 4 GB. However this has not fixed the problem.
