Hello I have a CSV where every single value is surrounded by quotes, even the numbers. I would like to know how to handle this, because the BULK INSERT statement fails when trying to import not only text data, but also numeric data. That is, for example when trying to import the value "1234" into a numeric field then statement fails. Thanks a lot.
I'm guessing that the values are separated by a comma. So what happens when you specify WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = '","') in the BULK INSERT command? For more info, see if this helps: http://www.sqlteam.com/article/using-bulk-insert-to-load-a-text-file
