I need to import this data to a SQL Server 2008 database table. I have created the table with the types matching the schema.
How to import this data to the table?
EDIT: Solved by following the answer selected.
Note to anyone stumbling upon this in future: The datatype needs to be converted.

You could use the
Import Datafeature by right mouse clicking the database, and then clicking Tasks thenImport Data. This will give you a wizard which you can specify the delimiters etc. for your file and preview the output before you’ve inserted any data.
