Insert data from csv file using BCP on linux fails with no output

Question

I am attempting to load a .csv file from ubuntu 16.04 using msobdcsql17 driver loaded via bcp. The Linux server is sitting in an active directory environment, and I am using a username/password combo to access the data.

When I run the command, it loads no files, and it gives no output.

I decided to make it as simple as possible, so here is my example. (code via this site)

The Table (SomeTable)

CREATE TABLE dbo.SomeTable
  (
    SomeTableID INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL --This is column "1"
    ColA INT --This is column "2"
    ,ColB INT --This is column "3"
    ,ColC INT --This is column "4"
  )
;

The Text File (test.csv)

Column_C,Extra,Column_A
1,2,3
4,5,6
7,8,9

The Format File (format.fmt)

14.0
3
1     SQLCHAR   0     8000     ","         4   ColC        ""
2     SQLCHAR   0     8000     ","         0   NotUsed     ""
3     SQLCHAR   0     8000     "\r\n"      2   ColA        ""

The Command

bcp SomeTable in "/full/path/to/test.csv" -d DatabaseName -U"username" -P"password" -S"SERVERNAME,1432" -f"/full/path/to/format.fmt" -e error.txt

The Result

[Tue 12  9:16AM]:~/
ॐ  bcp SomeTable in "/full/path/to/test.csv" -d DatabaseName -U"username" -P"password" -S"SERVERNAME,1234" -f"/full/path/to/format.fmt" -e error.txt

While the result shows nothing, that change in the little symbol says that it returned with an error.

NOTE: I am trying to access an instance (reason for the port number 1234). Using a named instance does not work with the linux driver, so a fixed port must be assigned and used.

What I have tried:

• Adjust credentials: It shows an error indicating it can't login with the wrong credentials
• Exporting a format file: Works fine
• Dumping from the same credentials/config: Works fine
• Uninstalling all ODBC drivers, the reinstalling msodbcsql17: Fails, no output
• Using Sql Server ODBC driver v13: Fails, no output
• Using an XML format file: Fails, no output
• Tried removing the format file and using '-c' option: Fails, no output

Possible ideas of what could be wrong:

• it is unable to access the file on the server: would I need to map a drive to the linux server on the sql box?
• ???????????

If anyone knows how to get some verbose output so I can troubleshoot, or make this happen, would love the help...
