| You can use :DECLARE @SQL NVARCHAR(500) DECLARE @FILE_NAME NVARCHAR(50)SET @SQL= 'BULK INSERT TABLE_NAME FROM ''c:\' + @FILE_NAME + ''' WITH (CODEPAGE = ''1250'', FIELDTERMINATOR = '','') ' EXEC(@SQL)UPDATE TABLE_NAME SET COLUMN_NAME = CONVERT(NVARCHAR(50), REPLACE(COLUMN_NAME, '"',''))TABLE_NAME IS TABLE IN SQL SERVER DATABASE -- ISN'T POSSIBLE #TABLE |

"which contains single quotes, therefore i cant copy and paste it into a string or anything and read it in that way"You can double-up any embedded single quotes:INSERT INTO MyTable(MyColumn) VALUES('foo''bar')Kristen |
