| Hi all, I have around 140 text files in a folder where all the file entries are delimited by tabs. Currently i am copying the data and then pasting it in to the tables and it is perfectly working fine. I have already created tables for those 140 files. But now i want to load those files in to the table at a single shot. How can i do it? I am using SQLServer 2005.Sarvan |

| Easiest to use bulk insert if the table structuers match the tables.Just have a table which holds the file masks and table names and loop through it.Have a look athttp://www.nigelrivett.net/SQLTsql/ImportTextFiles.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. |
