如何在sql中填充查询表？

Question

Hi i am working on look up tables first time and we have some distinct values in look up tables which are coming from excel sheets. So i have two databases say A and B. there are around 22 look up tables and 5 certified tables in database A. and one import table and few work table in database B. i am just wondering how i am going to load Look up tables. do i have to write stored procs for each look up table and use in SSIS package. i just have to get distinct values from the Excel sheet for respective look up tables. i am using SQL Server 2005. Thanks for reading this.

Answer 1

1) Save the excel sheet as csv (use "Save As" from file menu)

2) Set "IGNORE_DUP_KEY" option on the destination table, this will skip duplicate values in CSV files(excel sheet)

3) construct a BULK INSERT command and provide the csv file and the destination table.

Alternative to 2) You may also set MAXERRORS in the BULK INSERT command to a value higher than the number of lines in csv file, this options just ignores any errors(there fore all the duplicate key errors will not cause the INSERT to fail)
