File UPload to DATABASE

Postby arumalla » Tue Jul 01, 2003 6:55 pm

Hi all,

Is it possible to upload a excel file so that the content in the excel file will be automatically imported into my "SQL Server" database...

As my solution demands that I am getting some excel sheets on daily basis and I don't want to use the SQL Server import utility to import all that data in to the server. as this is done by the sales people, I don't want to explain the "SQL Server" to them.
so does any body has any suggestion how can I achive this.

Thanks all
Thanks & Regards

Chandra Arumalla

You can automate this using DTS (Data Transformation Services) from Microsoft. Check the DTS section in Online Books of Microsoft SQL Server for detailed information on this.
