( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I tested this script and — surprise! — it works.

#!perl use strict; use warnings; use Win32::OLE; use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Access'; my $database = 'D:\Database.accdb'; my $csv_file = 'D:\Data.csv'; my $tbl_name = 'Data'; my $db = Win32::OLE->new('Access.Application') or die "Cannot create Microsoft Access object\n"; $db->OpenCurrentDatabase($database); $db->DoCmd->TransferText(acImportDelim, '', $tbl_name, $csv_file, -1); $db->Quit(); exit 0;

It's remarkably fast, too.

The fifth argument to DoCmd->TransferText is the HasFieldNames parameter. -1 is True, which means the first line of the CSV file is a header.

The missing error checking is on-account-of-because I haven't figured it out yet. But I swear this script is slurping data into an Access database — quickly!

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
