Hi
I need suggestions on how to insert a lot of data into a sql 2005 db.
Scenario is following:
I have a semicolon separated textfile and want to upadte a db-table.
i have two different methods that i use, but i dont like any of them:
1.
* Connect to db and execute a truncate table
* Make a .fmt file and then insert the textfile using dos command sql - bcp
2. Make a vb.net prog that connects to db, truncate table, read textfile and for each line execute a insert or a storedproc that inserts.
Anyone have a better method for this?
