[[DataDirect][ODBC SQL Server Wire Protocol driver][Microsoft SQL Server]Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.]

Question

Hii ..
need help on this ..
This what I am doing ..
I am using a DATAEXPORT function to export level0 data from my essbase 11.1.2.2 to Microsoft SQL 2008 tables.
So what I did first I exported the level0 data to a flat file using DATAEXPORT and the created the SQL columns by the same  in that order only in my SQL table.
When I run it fails with this error:
ODBC Layer Error: [21S01] ==> [[DataDirect][ODBC SQL Server Wire Protocol driver][Microsoft SQL Server]Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.]

Total Calc Elapsed Time for [test.csc] : [1.44] seconds
=============================================================
I did a simple test on my Sample.basic application then ..
loaded the calc data to it and then used the below script to export to a flat file
//ESS_LOCALE English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary
SET DATAEXPORTOPTIONS
                DataExportLevel "Level0";
                DataExportOverwriteFile ON;
                DataExportColFormat OFF;
                DataExportDimHeader OFF;
FIX(
            "Jan",
            "Sales",
            "Actual"
/*DATAEXPORT "File" "," "/home/hypadmin/samtest.txt";*/
DATAEXPORT "DSN" "Abhitest" "sample" "sa" "welcome1";
ENDFIX
out put as below:
"Sales"
"100-30","California"
"Jan","Actual",145
Now In sql I created only 3 columns with name Jan/Sales/Actual and when I run this script again with comments removed .. I get the same error as what I have got in my first test case with other application ..
but when I create the columns with same name as what its in export
Sales/100-30/Califirnia/Jan/Actual
It created the new rows successfully ..
So with this I think the error which I am getting with my other application might be because of the same column issue  .. but then I have created all the columns by looking at the export file only as I did in sample ..
Any idea would be helpful ..
Thanks

First make sure you add
DataExportRelationalFile ON;
to your set commands it is missing
I alwats like to also add
DataExportColHeader dimensionName;
so I am sure what dimension is getting put into the columns.
Then count the number of dimensions in your outline (exclude attribute dimensions). You need at least that many columns in your table  -1 + the number of  members you will be returning as columns in the export
Taking your example Sample basic has 5 dimensions
Measures
Years
Scenario
Product
Market
Since you did not specify a dataexportcolheader it took the dense dimension Scenario as the columns. Your fix statement is limiting that to one member. Doing the math
5 -1 + 1 = 5 columns in your table which is what you found works.  Suppose you fixed on bothe Actual and budget in scenario then you would need 6 columns 5 -1 +2
