Cannot bulk load. Operating system error code 5 (Access is denied.)

Question

For some weird reason I\'m having problems executing a bulk insert.

BULK INSERT customer_stg
FROM \'C:\\Users\\Michael\\workspace\\pydb\\data\\andrew.out.txt\         


        

Answer 1

This is quite simple the way I resolved this problem:

1. open SQL Server
2. right click on database (you want to be backup)
3. select properties
4. select permissions
5. select your database role (local or cloud)
6. in the you bottom you will see explicit permissions table
7. find " backup database " permission and click Grant permission .

your problem is resolved .
