No matter you use VB or other language.

• Read you file, and loop over

• You just need to transform the excel column_title to to have a string like (column1, column2, column3, ...)

• Then every excel row to concatenated values_variable :

 (value1, value2, value3, ...), (value1, value2, value3, ...), (value1, value2, value3, ...) 

• So, you just need to create an INSERT query at the end of the loop:

INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, column3, ...) VALUES (value1, value2, value3, ...), (value1, value2, value3, ...), (value1, value2, value3, ...), ... ;
