    <p>AFAIK, for a trigger to be called on tblMatches, you need to supply values for all the columns in that table and only for the columns in that table which means, you cannot pass a team name to a trigger so that it can be used to resolve the team ID. </p> <p>If I were to do it, I would just create a table to insert the raw data as is, let the import wizard write records into this table, define a trigger on this table to insert records into the two derived tables viz. tblTeams, tblMatches. (<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189799.aspx" rel="nofollow">SQL Server Triggers</a>)</p> <p>My attempt at writing one (didn't get a chance to verify as I don't have SQL server)</p> <pre><code>CREATE TRIGGER teams.process ON teams AFTER INSERT AS BEGIN DECLARE @homeTeamId INT DECLARE @awayTeamId INT DECLARE @maxTeamId INT DECLARE @matchId INT SELECT @maxTeamId = 0 SELECT @maxTeamId = ISNULL(MAX(teamId), 0) from tblTeams --- Check if home team has already been inserted into the table. SELECT @homeTeamId = -1 SELECT @homeTeamId = teamId FROM tblTeams t JOIN inserted i ON t.teamName = i.hometeam IF (@homeTeamId = -1) BEGIN SELECT @homeTeamId = @maxTeamId + 1 SELECT @maxTeamId = @maxTeamId + 1 INSERT INTO tblTeams SELECT @homeTeamId, i.hometeam FROM inserted i END --- Check if away team has already been inserted into the table.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
