sql server programming:
I have about 1 million rows of data written in a text file, about 10 columns
of different types. What's the fastest way to load the data in the DB table
keeping in mind that I can load this data into my own application to
generate any script from this text file or whatever if required to simplify
this task? What do we have for this RAW load from the text files?

Yes, BULK INSERT worked in 1 min and 11 sec. Very fast. Thanks.

DTS, BCP, BULK INSERT statement, and SSIS on SQL 2005.

In that case, DTS, BCP, or BULK INSERT statement. DTS is Data
Transformation Services, access it from Enterprise Manager. BCP is a
command line utility, and BULK INSERT is the T-SQL statement. Another
alternative is to write your own app using the Bulk Copy API's, but it's not
worth it for a one-shot load.
