SQL can't insert large set of Data

Question

I'm getting a lot of errors trying to populate my tables. I have no clue how to fix this. I generated the insert into script but im pretty sure the way i put the values in is incorrect. How do I insert many rows without having to write INSERT INTO on every line?

I have written inc code for one of your table. Please modify your code accordingly for rest of the tables. I strongly recommend you to use SQL+ to avoid this stackoverflow.

INC code:-

INSERT ALL INTO [dbo].INVOICEVALUES (5655,8,1,,3,'7/5/2000',75880) INTO [dbo].INVOICEVALUES (9749,1,1,,1,'11/26/2002',58881) INTO [dbo].INVOICEVALUES (9909,3,1,187,3,'12/27/2012',64859) INTO [dbo].INVOICEVALUES (4188,8,3,,2,'4/20/2009',16670) INTO [dbo].INVOICEVALUES (1265,6,2,155,2,'4/13/2007',20130) INTO [dbo].INVOICEVALUES (3874,7,2,,1,'3/25/2012',17809) INTO [dbo].INVOICEVALUES (9866,9,3,130,3,'2/27/2003',70183) INTO [dbo].INVOICEVALUES (7998,3,2,194,3,'4/11/2002',27622) INTO [dbo].INVOICEVALUES (5146,1,1,,1,'6/27/2002',58779) INTO [dbo].INVOICEVALUES (5283,4,3,,4,'1/24/2004',55112) INTO [dbo].INVOICEVALUES (9216,3,1,,1,'5/15/2003',59439) INTO [dbo].INVOICEVALUES (5881,9,2,,4,'7/8/2012',88095) INTO [dbo].INVOICEVALUES (8495,5,1,157,4,'8/20/2008',75160) INTO [dbo].INVOICEVALUES (8176,1,3,,2,'1/5/2006',19650) INTO [dbo].INVOICEVALUES (9723,4,1,124,4,'10/21/2006',59060) INTO [dbo].INVOICEVALUES (7132,2,3,192,2,'11/11/2008',26460) INTO [dbo].INVOICEVALUES (7947,2,2,150,1,'3/3/2006',55317) INTO [dbo].INVOICEVALUES (7458,8,2,,3,'4/27/2007',64009) INTO [dbo].INVOICEVALUES (8893,9,3,,4,'7/24/2012',40292) INTO [dbo].INVOICEVALUES (6683,7,1,,2,'7/24/2008',86020) SELECT * FROM dual;

Answer 2

You need commas and not semicolons after each row.

Also, there is a limit of 1000 values for the table value constructor syntax you are using (reference here).

Simply generate your inserts such that there are no more than 1000 rows in each INSERT INTO statement, and you use commas, and you should be fine. However, it would help if you said what the errors actually were.

Try this ::

INSERT INTO [dbo].[INVOICE]
           ([INV_ID]
           ,[EMP_ID]
           ,[WAR_ID]
           ,[REP_ID]
           ,[FIN_ID]
           ,[INV_DATE]
           ,[INV_PRICE])
     VALUES
(5655,8,1,,3,'7/5/2000',75880),
(9749,1,1,,1,'11/26/2002',58881),
(9909,3,1,187,3,'12/27/2012',64859);
