I am looking for any best practices or ideas on how you would create an interface with a DB from a .NET web application to upload data from Excel files Should I use a mechanism that allows all the records to be loaded and flags the errors or should I use a mechanism that stops the load when an error occurs.
I’ve never had to deal with this type of requirement before so any help would be super!
Thanks
If data integrity in your DB is important, do not allow data to be imported that has errors or does not meet the validation requirements of your DB.
Since these are Excel files, it should be easy enough for the user to correct the data in the Excel file, instead of trying to use another interface to fix the data. Just make sure the error messages direct the user to what field is the problem and clearly explain what is wrong.
