Import text file into SQL database

Question

I have a number of separate text files which i would like to import into an SQL database. The data is not comma separted so that rules out using my idea of importing data by comma. However, the data is across a number of rows. See example text file below. Please could anyone advise how i could import specific data such as the programmed and mean values, shift number, etc?

Answer 1

Hi,

I think in this case you need to write some (C# or VB) code to import your data to sql server or to format your text files to become CSV or something understandable to SQL server.

I hope this is helpful.
