Flat File Import into SQL Server Now that you’ve automated the fetching of your flat file via FTP, the next step is to automatically import that file into SQL Server.

If your data was initially saved in a spreadsheet, you can use a wizard to quickly import it into an OpenOffice.org database.

This will save the database export files to your computer. When the process completes, start a new server admin connection to the new server that you’ll be importing to.
