Liaquat writes "Hi

I've written a stored procedure that imports text files into a SQL Server 7.0 database. However, because the files are quite big (70 mb), they are sent to our server zipped. Currently we are manually unzipping these .txt files, before executing the stored procedures.

Is there anyway we can unzip these files automatically before the stored procedures are executed via a scheduler?

Many thanks"
