Question

I have text files which contain one word per line, and I would like to add this content to a column in my table, the column type is Varchar, how can I accomplish that?

Answer 1

You can treat your file as a special case of CSV – it’s a CSV file with only one column.

See this article for how to bulk insert from a CSV file.

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