>>Hi,

>>I will be discussing (later this morning) with a company who is supposed to export the data from their SQL Server database with the goal that I will import it in my SQL Server database. Initially the agreement was that they will provide me with the CSV format files. My questions is, is this "the best" or "sufficient" that I can then import the data into my database? Or should I ask for another format? (the SQL Server backup is out of the question because their SQL Server database has their other customers' data).

I wish I asked them to create such a dummy sql database. This would be the best approach. But I didn't think of it.
Thank you.
