I have a CSV file that need "parsed" into rows.
See this:
test,test1,test2,test3,test4,test5
value,value1,value2,value3,value4,value5

Needs to go into SQL like this:
col001 col002
==================
test value
test1 value1
test2 value2
test3 value3

etc etc.

I need this to work though any means, it does not necessarily have to be during the dts.

I had already seen that, but I'm not so sure I know how to make that solution work for my needs.

Imagine table1 looks like:
Col001 Col002 Col003 Col004
=============================
test test1 test2 test3
value Value1 Value2 Value3

I need to make table2 look like:

Col001 Col002
===============
test Value
test1 Value1
test2 Value2
test3 Value3

See the many columns I have (about a thousand) need to pivot to rows in a set of two coulmns.
