Hello,

I have about 25 .txt files, which I need to import into SQL Server 2000.

Please could anyone tell me the fastest way to do this.
Since all my data to be transfered is in the same format. I can save the DTS. But how do I use the saved DTS?

Is it better to save it as SQL Server or Visual Basic.

Please could anyone give me detailed steps as to how I can do it fast, with syntax or example.

I am new to DTS.

Thank you

Hi,

Use bcp/ bulInsert tools to import the text data into tables. These 2 are faster as compare to DTS.

Please look into SQL Sever 2000 Books online for bcp and BulkInsert.

Have a nice day

With Regards
