Hello,
I have a one off data import that I am going to place into a newly created table.. I have tried SSIS and it became a pain so I am going to try and import the data and then use t-sql to move the data into the correct columns. I think that this will be an interersting way to do it as well as helpoing my t-sql coding. SSIS is usually great but this data is such a mess that I think coding it will be easier in the long run.
What I am trying to do first is to import the whole row into one column. For instance C:\Data.csv has lines like the following:
Mr,Jo,Bloggs,29 Acacia Road,42,Male
What is the way to import this into a SQL table (nameTable1) all in one column called ImportAll
I think after that substring will help move the parts into the other columns once I get all of the data into SQL.
