• You're probably good to go then. If it were something that needed to be done on a regular basis, we likely could have hammered it out with BULK INSERT using multi-character delimiters. If that turns out to be the case in the future (like what happens so often to one-offs), c'mon back and we'll take another shot at it together.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
