I have .DAT file which looks like below format[no column name or header, only data]: || is the separator; so, I have 20 fields.

My SQL DB table also has 20 columns.
When I'm using import export wizard, I'm getting error as below:
- Executing (Error)

Note: I have all columns in DB table has 255 char.
Please let me know, how to resolve this problem? How can I successfully import it to my DB.
Configure your flat file source with the correct data type and data length. Seems that data received from the file is more than the data length you have defined leading to truncation.
Your first error shows the text you are trying to import in one of the columns is larger than the size of the column in your data base(in destination db table), So change the column size to be larger in your DB: ALTER your TABLE, set more characters for the column VARCHAR(255),
For the second error it seems maybe some of row in you DAT file have less or more than 20 columns which don't match with your table, may bi in row 109 as reported in one of the error. Hope it helps
