Good Morning All,
I have a table in SQL called [RU].[MainTab]. It contains the following fields:
CKale (nvarchar, 5)
Checkdt (date)
RecDate (date)
PersonID (nvarchar, 6)
I have a folder on my hard drive containing numerous delimited text files, each one with data that corresponds to the SQL table. Example:
12345,4/5/2013,4/6/2013,123456
The code posted below is intended to take all those text files, combine then into one (called "Combined.txt"), and then do a BULK INSERT to append the contents of Combined.txt into the SQL table.
The combining of the text files works great. The BULK INSERT errors out, only because I can't grant myself BULKADMIN server permissions (I think).
Here are my questions:
1. Can someone look at the code, focusing on the part after the text files are combined, and tell me if you think it should work if I were to have BULKADMIN permission to SQL Server? If not, what needs changed?
2. How would this code differ if I were connecting to an Oracle database versus SQL Server? I'm assuming the DRIVER in the Connection String would change, but once the connection is open, would there be any difference in the BULK INSERT statement?
