Most of the cases I found it best to create a vfp cursor or table from the data given, check if some clean up processing needs to be done and then move that data into the intended target tables via SQL. The vfp import wizard sometimes is helpful, other times I just create a cursor definition in the command window.

Even then you read in the file into a cursor, manipulate it there and send out the changes.
Not much different from reading in the whole file into a table, doing the needed changes and copy the whole file out again.
As max file is 2GB, not that much time even in worst case ;-)
