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

1) Open SQL 2) In Task Manager, you can check which account is running the SQL - it is probably not Michael-PC\Michael as Jan wrote.

The account that runs SQL need access to the shared folder.
