I’ve got a bunch of SQL dump files that I’d like to import into a dataset with C#. The machine this code will run on does not have SQL installed. Is there any way to do this short of parsing the text manually?
Thanks!
EDIT: The Dump file is just a long list of SQL statements specifying the schema and values of the database.
Is this a SQL dump of the backup sort that you create via a
DUMPorBACKUPstatement? If so the answer is pretty much no. It’s essentially a snapshot of the physical structure of the database. You need to restore/load the dump/backup to an operable database before you can do anything with it.
