Hi, I'm working on some Commodities application. In this I'm getting all rates feed in a excel sheet. Now I've to upload continuously those rates in sql server table so that user can view it correctly. So can anyone suggest me how to do this as speed is the major issue in such a applications.
how frequently you get rates? One way this is done is by means of ssis package which imports data to sql table. The package would be called from SQL agent job which will executed as per an automated schedule

what you could do is to put excel sheets in a shared folder. then you can design a package which fetches sheet from folder, do transfer of data to table and then archive file. This package can be called from an automated sql agent job which will get executed as per a schedule. you can keep a control table to keep track of files and their status.
