Question

I am trying to import a csv file to insert data into an existing table on my database. I go through the wizard and when it comes to select source tables and views for the destination, there are none to choose from. It just thinks I am trying to create a new table.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Answer 1

Skip the wizard and use just BULK INSERT, here is an example:

BULK
INSERT CSVTest
FROM 'c:\csvtest.txt'
WITH
(
FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
ROWTERMINATOR = '\n'
)
GO
