import of multiple CSV files in one MS SQL table

Hi all,

I have de following application to do :

I receive several .csv files from another application in a determined folder
of my PC.

Those files are named with the format log1.csv logs2.csv logs...
The number of file is variable but the internal format is always : time_sec;level
So the files content a field that may be used as unique key in the target database.

I'm trying to build a DTS package that should import periodically
all the CSV's present in the folder and then destroy them if done
successfully.

Apparently its not so simple than I supposed. I have always to give the name
of the table I want to import.

any idea?"Laurent" <autplc@.hotmail.com> wrote in message

Two Options:

Option 1:
Rename the file to a temporary name (in an ActiveX task) and use the
temporary name for the Data Pump

Option 2:
Use a Dynamic Properties Task to change the Data Source Name in the Data
Pump Task.
