"Invalid column type from bcp client for colid" - How to use sql.UniqueIdentifier column type?

[MinsknBoo]

Hey there,

i am trying to do a bulk insert with 15-20 columns, one of which is a UniqueIdentifier.

My MSSQL table column is a UniqueIdentifier.
I am using the node-uuid module to generate a v4 uuid and am trying to get it persisted (unsuccessfully).

  var table = new sql.Table('mytable'); 


    table.create = true;

    table.columns.add('item_type', sql.VarChar(50), {nullable: false});

    table.columns.add('total_events', sql.Int, {nullable: false});

    table.columns.add('guid', sql.UniqueIdentifier, {nullable: false});

    table.rows.add('aa',5,uuid.v4());

The above code will always throw "Invalid column type from bcp client for colid" Error. What type do i have to use to be able to do the insert?

Greetings, I hate to ask such a simple question, but were you sure to mind your nullable: true/false? That will throw the "Invalid column type from bcp client for colid ___"

Am I correct, Patrik?

Aaron

@aaronwilliams97 Had the same issue and setting the nullable option fixed it for me.
