Hi guys
I am using the Bulk insert command to import a flat file to the SQL server
2005.
My flat file contains about 1 million rows.
I have already created an empty table to insert the rows from the flat file.

But I dont want to import the first row into my table in the database.
Is there a way I can give some some sort of condition in my bulk insert
command so that the first row from the flat file does not get imported??

Here is my bulk insert statement:

BULK INSERT new1 FROM 'f:\My Documents\flatFileBaseline\one.txt' WITH
(FIELDTERMINATOR = ',')


Cheers
Mita

Check out BOL for the BULK INSERT statement. You can specify FIRSTROW

HTH,

Tim
