Import of CSV file into SQL using OPENROWSET
asked on
I am using the following to import CSV files into a SQL table...
select * from OpenRowset('MSDASQL', 'Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)}; DefaultDir=C:\CSVDIR\; ','select * from sample.csv')
These CSV files are generated by a program and some are created but empty.
My problem:
The query above fails when I hit an empty CSV file, either with or without column.
I also want to count the number of records
select count(col1) from openrowset...
Can the geniuses help me with a solution? I prefer some error handling.
