CFEXECUTE and BCP

Question

Hi All, I have the following code example but what I need is an INSERT from a text file to a table. The following example is the reverse of what I need.
Does anyone know how ?
example for a select:
<cfset destfilename ="E:\tempdata\" & dateformat(now(),"mm-dd-yyyy") & TimeFormat(now(), "-hh-mm-ss") & ".txt">
<cfset qryStr = "select * from pubs.dbo.titles">
<cfexecute name='bcp "#qrystr#" queryout "#destfilename#" -U UserName -P Password  -c'></cfexecute>

Answer 1

When I compare your code with the example from the BCP documentation, I come up with:
<cfset qryStr = "select * into pubs.dbo.titles2 from pubs.dbo.titles where 1=2">
<cfexecute name='bcp "#qrystr#" in "#sourceFileName#" -U UserName -P Password -c'></cfexecute>
An alternative idea:
<!--- create new, empty table to write to --->
<cfquery datasource="myDSN" name="writeToTable">
select * into pubs.dbo.titles2
from pubs.dbo.titles
where 1=2
</cfquery>
<cfexecute name='bcp "pubs.dbo.titles2" in "#sourceFileName#" -U UserName -P Password -c'></cfexecute>
