William Zabob writes "I have a 12MB image datatype BLOB stored in a table as one row.
(TAB_Inventory) The data stored is actually a comma-separated data file. There are 43 columns of data. At the end of each row is a . Some of the data rules are as follows:
Strings are enclosed by double quotes ("This is a string")
Commas CAN appear in quoted strings("Hello, this is me")
numerical data is just comma-separated (0.00,3.00,8,)
there can be NULLS (,,,)
My question:
What is the most efficient way of parsing this file out into it's 43 columns using T-SQL in SQL Server? Is there a better way?
Confused in Baton Rouge"
