| Greetings.I am trying to use BULK INSERT in a stored procedure to load data from text files into a SQL table and I'm having problems. My text file has a header row with field names. It would look something like this:FirstName,LastName,Company,Telephone,birthdateBill,Gates,Microsoft,425-555-1212,10/28/1955George,Bush,White House,202-555-1212,7/6/1946Is there a way to use the header row to determine field order, instead of creating FORMATFILE?Thanks! |
