Bulk insert

I m a newbie in Stored Proc. Here I m working with some stuff for importing the csv files then write those inside to MSSQL Server. However I get confused what steps I shoud take.

Here's the Stored Proc I've written.

Instead of running execute proc_TestIT '11113333', 'V', 'Tony Jones , those records would be kept in a csv file instead with at least 100 records per each csv file. I am wondering if I should use bulk insert and what I should do with the SP I 've written. As only 10 out of all the 20 columns in the interface file would be required for the updates/inserts. I m wondering where I should start.

execute proc_TestIT '11113333', 'V', 'Tony Jones'
CREATE Procedure proc_TestIT

@.Locker_No Varchar(10),
@.Locker_Type Varchar(10),
@.Member_Full_Name Varchar(30)

AS
declare @.Location Varchar(06)
set @.Location=' '
Begin
BEGIN TRANSACTION
SET @.Location = (select Location from tblLockers where Locker_No=@.Locker_No)
IF (@.Locker_Type='P')
begin
Update tblLockerIssues SET Remarks='Damaged' where Locker_No=@.Locker_No
end
IF(@.Locker_Type='V')
begin
insert into tblLockerIssues_VIP values(@.Locker_No,@.Location,'')
end
COMMIT TRANSACTION
RETURN
End
GO

There are several basic building blocks that you can use:

Consider using SSIS (DTS if you are running SQL Server 2000) instead of a stored procedure|||

Hi Dave,

Thanks a lot. For the stuff I m working with, we have to enable users to import the csv files with the use of ASP.

As such imports would trigger inserts/updates in several tables e.g. by check each record's member_type in the inteface files, I m wondering if I should make use of ASP to extract data from those columns I need from the csv files then import into the DB.

Cheers,
