You need to change three specific fields on this screen before clicking Next:
1. Fix the Text Column (Crucial)
- The Problem: It is currently set to
nvarchar(300). The Bible contains many verses that are longer than 300 characters, which causes the exact truncation crash you saw. - The Fix: Click the dropdown box next to Text and scroll all the way down to select nvarchar(MAX).
2. Fix the Verse_ID Column
- The Problem: It is currently set to
smallint. In SQL Server, asmallintcan only hold numbers up to 32,767. Since the Bible has 31,102 verses, you are dangerously close to maximum capacity. If your CSV includes extra blank spacing rows or unique higher numbering, it will break. - The Fix: Click the dropdown box next to Verse_ID and change it to int.
3. Check Primary Key
- Click the checkbox under the Primary Key column for Verse_ID. This tells SQL Server that every single verse has a unique identification number, which optimizes your database performance.
Once you switch Text to nvarchar(MAX), change Verse_ID to int, and check the Primary Key box, you can safely click Next and finish the import without errors!
Let me know if the data successfully imports after making those adjustments!
