    <p>I have attempted to transfer one txt file into a SQL Server from Perl, but I now need to create a DB in SQL that combines hundreds of txt files. Is there an automated way of doing this to save manually transferring all the txt files? I will insert my attempt of coding one txt file. I believe I need to use Bulk Insert to achieve this but I am unsure what code to use. Any advice on the problem would be really appreciated, and if there is anymore code you wish to see or a specific thing I forgot to mention then please comment and I will edit. Thank you.</p> <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use DBI; use Carp; # Connect to the data source and get a handle for that connection. my $dbh = DBI-&gt;connect('dbi:ODBC:RegressionDBS') || confess "Connection Failed: $DBI::errstr"; # This query generates a result set with one record in it. my $sql = "SELECT 1 AS test_col"; my $tablename = "RegressionTable"; open(FH, "newregression.txt") || die "cant open file"; my $Sqlh = $dbh-&gt;prepare("INSERT INTO RegressionTable (Ticker, TradeDate, HighPrice, LowPrice, TradePrice, TotalVolume, TotalValue) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?);") || confess $DBI::errstr; while (my $line = &lt;FH&gt; ) { $line =~/^(.*)(..)(..)$/; my ($curTicker, $wTradeDate, $wHighPrice, $wLowPrice, $wTradePrice, $wTotalVolume, $wTotalValue); $curTicker=$1 #$wTradeDate= $wHighPrice=$2; $wLowPrice=$1; #$wTradePrice=$1; #$wTotalVolume=$1; #$wTotalValue=$4; $Sqlh-&gt;execute($curTicker, $wTradeDate, $wHighPrice, $wLowPrice, $wTradePrice, $wTotalVolume, $wTotalValue) || confess $DBI::errstr; } $Sqlh-&gt;finish(); $dbh-&gt;disconnect(); </code></pre>

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.
