how to import a csv file into database table using vb.net

[Rnt6872]

I need to import a .csv file into a firebird database. I am able to
cnnect tothe databe using:
Dim ds1 As New DataSet
Dim SQLString As String = "insert into rdstype27
(division,trans_code,DATE,TIME,dept,vend,emp_no,online_function,sku_del_units,
sku_handling_class, sku_no, loc, qty, retail,dc_sort_code,dc)
values(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)"
Dim constringa As String =
"User=DBADMIN;Password=admin;Database=E:\Firebird
\RDS.FDB;DataSource=fs000xveuc90;Port=3050;Dialect=3;Charset=NONE;Role=user;Connection
lifetime=0;Connection timeout=15;Pooling=True;Packet Size=8192;Server
Type=0"
Dim FBcn As New
FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbConnection(constringa)
Dim da As New
FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbDataAdapter(SQLString, FBcn)
Dim cmdBuilder As
FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbCommandBuilder = New
FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbCommandBuilder(da)
Dim dtRecords1 As New DataTable
Dim InsertCmd As FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbCommand =
New FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbCommand
FBcn.Open()

Then I can parse the file using:
Using parser As New FileIO.TextFieldParser("e:\firebird
\actblrds027rl.txt")
parser.SetDelimiters(",")
Try

While Not parser.EndOfData
Me.DataGridView1.Rows.Add(parser.ReadFields())

End While
Beep()
MsgBox("Import Successfull!!")
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(e.ToString)
End Try

End Using
I need to get the data that is in the datagridview into the database.
Please help

Why don't you just open the file with a datatable, then update the
database from the dataset?

Hi,

If you are sure that the records with the primary key don't already exist,
than you can just create SQL insert code and proces that using the
OleDbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery

uh 'BULK INSERT'?

why use a bunhc of VB code that's going to change every 18 months?

BULK INSERT works perfectly; right?

i agree dog

use BULK INSERT
it's a _LOT_ faster than inserting a single record at a time

if you don't know enough about databases; why don't you go back to
