Append a text file to an existing table in sql server

This link will lead you to an ASP example on how to read a sequential text file into a recordset object.  You could then loop through the recordset and put the lines into the datbase one by one...

CodeWizrd

You could use bulk insert or dts to do this probably.

Safer to bcp into a table then append from there.

The following code will add a text file delimited by comma for the fields into the table department. it will add
a char type
int type
and a char type values in the fields...

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<!--#include file="adovbs.inc"-->

<%

set con=server.createobject("adodb.connection")
con.Open "Driver={SQL Server};Server=servername;UID=UID;PWD=;Database=Dept"
Set FSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

strfile = "department.txt"
strpath = server.MapPath(strfile)
set file = FSO.OpenTextFile(strpath)

dim i
i=0
while not file.AtEndOfStream
    dat = file.ReadLine
     i=i+1
    datcols=split(dat,",")
   
       
    mySQL ="INSERT into department(department,value,code)"
    mySQL=mySQL+" Values('"&datcols(0)&"',"&datcols(1)&",'"&datcols(2)&"')"
    con.Execute mySQL
wend

28 open questions, ZERO courtesy of response to follow up requests, most posted for 10 points (less than the 50 point recommendation for "easy" questions); all very disheartening!

Zero response by Asker nor Expert closing recommendations, therefore this was finalized today by Moondancer - EE Moderator
