Import CSV file into SQL Server

Question

I am looking for help to import a .csv file into SQL Server using BULK INSERT and I have few basic questions.

Issues:

Answer 1

2) If the client create the csv from excel then the data that have comma are enclosed within " ... " (double quotes) [as the below example] so how do the import can handle this?

You should use FORMAT = 'CSV', FIELDQUOTE = '"' options:

BULK INSERT SchoolsTemp
FROM 'C:\CSVData\Schools.csv'
WITH
(
    FORMAT = 'CSV', 
    FIELDQUOTE = '"',
    FIRSTROW = 2,
    FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',  --CSV field delimiter
    ROWTERMINATOR = '\n',   --Use to shift the control to next row
    TABLOCK
)
