To import data from a CSV file into a SQL database, you need to create a table that matches the structure and data types of the file, and then use the COPY or BULK INSERT command to load the data.

Now that you’ve automated the fetching of your flat file via FTP, the next step is to automatically import that file into SQL Server. To do this, we’ll use an SQL Server Agent Job.

A CSV (comma-separated values) file stores the tabular data in plain text format. Using CSV file you can store all the data and import the CSV file data into the database at once using PHP and MySQL.
