error when passing a large table from SAS Fusion to Snowflake using bulkload

mmawwamm — Sat, 28 Sep 2024 21:50:57 GMT

We have a huge table need to be copied from SAS Server to Snowflake. If we use insert into SN.TEST table, it takes almost 3 hours to pass 80M rows with 31 columns.

I also try to use PUT command in EXECUTE () BY SN; it also give another type of error and will cause disconnection.

Then I try to add bulkload option into the libname statement, however, it still now works.

What happens if you subset your source table to a 1000 rows and load these? Does this work?

For the Proc Append:

I can’t see the Force option specified but it’s mentioned in the Log. Is this really the log from the Proc Append statement you shared?

Did you try bulk load? Do you really want to commit after every 32K rows? Or could you eventually use dbcommit=0?

Is the target table empty? Are there a lot of indexes and constraints on the table (eventually disable them prior to the load and then re-enable them once loaded)?

Instead of using PROC APPEND, upload the CLAIMS dataset to a temporary table in the database, and run the INSERT in explicit pass-through.

If you execute using debug, you <might> get some more information out:

options sastrace=',,,d' sastraceloc=saslog nostsuffix msglevel=i;

What cloud does Snowflake reside on?

And out of curiosity, what i SAS Fusion?

I stumbled upon this , not sure if it's applicable:

Multi Row Insert fails with "Failed to decrypt. Check file key and master key." · Issue #374 · snowflakedb/snowflake-connector-nodejs · GitHub

A track to SAS tech support could be a good idea.

It does work for one table. I have 3 claim tables, with the same structure. When I use the same code upload the other two tables, I got copy error again.

Kurt_Bremser — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 19:34:25 GMT

You do not upload the dataset to its own temporary database table, you try to use it directly in the INSERT. As you already noticed, this does not work.

Re: error when passing a large table from SAS Fusion to Snowflake using bulkload

mmawwamm — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 19:37:06 GMT

Would you please show me some sample code so that I could understand better?

Re: error when passing a large table from SAS Fusion to Snowflake using bulkload

Kurt_Bremser — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 19:46:24 GMT

If I interpret your previous post correctly, you upload one dataset (which works), and then try to insert a second and third dataset. Use PROC APPEND or a DATA step first on the SAS side (with no use of the database), and then upload the single resulting dataset.

mmawwamm — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 19:57:56 GMT

I did not use proc append this time. I create SNOWFLAKE TEMP Table, insert rows to temp table, and then insert rows to target table from the temp table.

It works for one claim table, but failed for the other two.

Here is my code, if I change the claim1 in red into claim2 or claim3. Then I get error.

libname SNOW sasiosnf SERVER="XXXX"

conopts="uid=&SNOWACNT.;authenticator=snowflake_jwt;

priv_key_file=/hpsasfin/users/&SYSUSERID./keys/rsa_key.p8;

database="XXXX_DB"

schema="XXXX"

READBUFF=32000

INSERTBUFF=32000

DBCOMMIT=32000

CONNECTION=GLOBAL BULKLOAD = YES BL_INTERNAL_STAGE = "SAS_LOAD";

PROC SQL;

CONNECT USING SNOW;

Execute (REMOVE @Sas_LOAD) by SNOW;

DELETE FROM SNOW.TEST;

EXECUTE (CREATE OR REPLACE TEMPORARY TABLE CLAIM (

COL1 VARCHAR(1000),

...

)

on commit preserve rows) by SNOW;

INSERT INTO SNOW.CLAIM

(

COL1,

...

)

SELECT

COL1,

...

FROM DATA.claim1;

EXECUTE(INSERT INTO TEST

(COL1,

...)

SELECT COL1,

...

FROM CLAIM) by SNOW;

DISCONNECT FROM SNOW;

QUIT;

I do think it might be the issue. Because I also try the following. I could see the .csv file had been loaded to Snowflake internal stage. However, when I try COPY INTO, I get "100109 (XX000): Failed to decrypt. Check file key and master key." in Snowflake WebUI. Or "ERROR: Error executing COPY command: Failed to decrypt. Check file key and master key." in SAS EG.

PROC SQL;
CONNECT USING SNOW;
Execute (REMOVE @Sas_LOAD) by SNOW;
DELETE FROM SNOW.TEST;
Execute (PUT file:///XXXX/data/claim1.csv @Sas_LOAD
AUTO_COMPRESS = FALSE PARALLEL=4 OVERWRITE = TRUE) by SNOW;
Execute (COPY INTO TEST from @Sas_LOAD FORCE = TRUE) by SNOW;
QUIT;

Re: error when passing a large table from SAS Fusion to Snowflake using bulkload

mmawwamm — Sat, 05 Oct 2024 21:49:50 GMT

Finally I found this solution:

(resolved auto_compress not working, and potential invalid UTF8 detected in string error)

Run following in Snowflake first (one-time creation):

CREATE OR REPLACE FILE FORMAT LOAD_FORMAT

TYPE = 'CSV'

FIELD_DELIMITER = ','

SKIP_HEADER = 1

FIELD_OPTIONALLY_ENCLOSED_BY = '"'

REPLACE_INVALID_CHARACTERS = TRUE;

CREATE OR REPLACE STAGE SAS_LOAD

FILE_FORMAT = LOAD_FORMAT;

The use following SAS code to upload:

x gzip -cf /myfolder/myfile.csv > /myfolder/myfile.csv.gz;

PROC SQL;

CONNECT USING SNOW;

Execute (REMOVE @Sas_LOAD) by SNOW;

DELETE FROM SNOW.MYTABLE;

Execute (PUT file:///myfolder/myfile.csv.gz @Sas_LOAD

AUTO_COMPRESS = FALSE PARALLEL=4 OVERWRITE = TRUE) by SNOW;

Execute (COPY INTO MYTABLE from @Sas_LOAD/myfile.csv.gz FORCE = TRUE ON_ERROR = CONTINUE) by SNOW;

QUIT;

x rm /myfolder/myfile.csv.gz;
