| 1)I am trying to Bulk Insert data from a text file into a table based on the Format File. In the data file, how can I successfully begin BULK INSERT only from the second row; the first row is just a heading.2)The colums of data that exist in the text file are separated by uneven spaces. What delimiter should I use in order to make this feasible. Thanks |

| 1) see FIRSTROW in the bulk insert command.2) Think you might be stuck unless there is a delimitter of fixed width fields.have a look athttp://www.nigelrivett.net/SQLTsql/BCP_quoted_CSV_Format_file.html==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
