Hi All

I need to insert the rows of file into database, but the problem is that the file which i want to process is on one server and my database is on another server.
Is there any way by which i can process that file directly through BULK INSERT.

Cheers

It not working by giving this path.

Its giving error,
file could not be opened.Operating system error code 1326(Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

Even it tried by mapping the drive where the file is present, but its not working.

Do you have permissions to access the file from server?

I'm guessing that the fetching server process probably doesn't have permissions to access that share on the host server.

I'm right in thinking that the query gets run with the db's service permissions which are not necessarily the same permissions as the windows user who's logged into the server aren't I?
