Is it possibe to schedule (time) the import of ASCII and CSV-Data with SQL 7.0? If it is, what would be the easiest and best way?

Thank you very much indeed,

Oliver"

I have done this a few times...not alot...but we used DTS to accomplish this. Defined an import job in the dts designer and then scheduled it on a recurring basis.

In addition to the reply from dhw, if your import is already writting in Transact SQL, you can schedule it to run as a job through SQL Server Agent. Especially if you need to utilize the speed that using BCP and/or BULK INSERTs can provide over DTS.
