Hi Folks,
Starting down a new path for me, trying to figure out how to automate importing a standard csv file into an existing db and the kicker is the flat file will not have unique id's so that will have to be sorted too. The digging that I've done so far has pointed me towards a flat file import wizard and ssis which hasn't really worked for me... either failed imports, imports not able to be processed into an existing db or table (I forget which), and no appended id's when a test import has been successful. I've not worked much with sql server in the past so I'm looking towards the more experienced here in hopes of cutting my research time down from banging my head against the screen, to a more tolerable level. I'm using sqlexpress 2016 with 2017 Management Studio on a 2016 Server VM.
