Dear All,
I am using sql2005 , C# , asp.net2.0
I am trying to upload data from excelsheet to sql tables.
Now excelsheet receive customername and address based on that I need to generate loc code (in case of new customer)or if already exist fetch the code from table while uploading the data in a computed column
I was writing a function that can fetch loc code based on customer name(to keep it in computed column specification) but problem is function does not support insert stmt and in case of new customer name I need to generates new code.

Is there any other way I can geenrate or fetch loc code while uploading
Please suggest

is this a one time thing or repeated if so SSIS might be your best bet. Otherwise you might have to do it in a few steps
1. Create Stored procedure that has a table variable or temp table # (better for performance I think)
2. Dump Excel data into table variable or temp table
Then check this out
