Periodic import

sql server dts: Tried BOL, Live Search, Google, <Find> here...

Receiving a periodic data file with date/time post-pended to the same
filename ... e.g.:
FileName20070607
FileName20070608
FileName20070609
...

Looking for a way to schedule a periodic import of the data within the
files. Considering DTS and BCP, but haven't found an example or specific
instructions.

Any leads?

Thanks!

Jeff

Thanks for the response, Allan.

The filename will be fixed ... it's just the "post-pended" date part that
will change.

There will never be more than one file in the folder, but each file will
have a different post-pended date portion of the full name.

Each day after the SQL-Server routine runs (successfully), it should be able
to move that file to a different folder (\...\Loaded\...). Files will get
into the folder via an FTP process.

Regards

Jeff

Hello Jeff,

Is the filename important or is it that you want to import the files from
a directory?

If it is the latter then look here

You can schedule using SQL Server Agent
