Hi,
I'm trying to import a csv file directly to my database every month. The contents of the file stays the same, however the format of the columns may vary. For example, 1 month I can have the following:
Time, Probe1, Probe2, Probe3, Probe4
Whereas the next month I can have something like this
Time, Probe2, Probe3, Probe1, Probe4
The "Time" column will always be on the left side, but the probes may vary in their placement.
I'm importing this csv to a temp table, where I then run a query to select any new data and enter that in my main tables. The problem is that when i import the csv, if the placement of the columns has changed, the data gets entered in the wrong locations.
Is there any way to create this temp table dynamically, based on what the header columns of the csv file are?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
