Have a look at this. It seems that xp_delete_file goes into the file itself and checks the header. Looks like you may have to roll your own, as...

If you already have an Excel connection manager and a data flow, you don't need to use a stored procedure - not to do the actual importing, anyway. What...

Other way around.

When an index rebuild is run, the statistics on that index are updated with fullscan as part of the index rebuild process. It's not that the rebuild...
