Hello all! Not only a noob here, but a noob to SQL itself. I need to use SQL to help me sort/group a huge (15 gb) .txt file. Once I get it sorted, I would like to export pieces of it back to a .csv so that I can use Excel with it.

Where is a good place to get started? I have done a bit of reading, but still a bit lost. I have at least managed to install 2008! Looking for a little guidance.

Happy New Year!

you can exeport import wizard for that if its a direct transfer. If you need to do some transformations in data have a look at SSIS or OPENROWSET
