Michael,
The BCP program that comes with most SQL servers does a really fast job of loading data, several orders of magnitude faster than SPT will achieve.
If you are talking about SQLServer a DTS (data transformation services IIRC) package is another choice you can use.
>We have a fair amount of records to import to SQL from CSV. Should I be importing to a cursor and then use a SCAN loop to T-SQL them into the table, or is there a more direct way to import the whole thing in my VFP client app?
