a question for using bcp in stored procedure..

background: sql2k, nt5
is it possible to write a sp to do the following:
within the sp, create a #temp table
bcp a table from a mdb (Access) file to that #temp table directly (assuming
table structure would be the same).
or one has bring the Access table into sql server as a static table first?
would appreicate some sample (or psudo code). thank youYou could create a atored procedure that executes a DTS package via DTSRUN. The DTS package would be setup with the Access DB and specific Access table as the dats source and the SQL table as the destination

A point in time backup with SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager

I'm having a problem testing a point in time backup. Here
is what I was trying:
1) I created a complete database backup to a file
D:\TEMP.DAT (of a database named
PHCS) (Time - 10:45)
2) I went and made some changes to the PHCS database at
10:49:10
3) I went and made some more changes to the PHCS database
at 10:50:50
4) I backed up the transaction log database (also into
D:\TEMP.DAT, appending).
(Time - 10:52)
5) I went to restore the database backed up at 10:45 and
left it unoperational
6) I went to restore the transaction log created at 10:52
and tried to specify a time
of 10:50:00. I wanted to restore the changes made in step
2, but not step 3.
He restore me the hole last transaction log i selected
an don't stop between step 2 and 3 !!
Many thanks for your help
DanielDid you use STOPAT..?
Here's the example from SQL BOL
-- Restore the database backup.
RESTORE DATABASE MyNwind
FROM MyNwind_1, MyNwind_2
WITH NORECOVERY
GO
RESTORE LOG MyNwind
FROM MyNwind_log1
WITH RECOVERY, STOPAT = 'Jul 1, 1998 10:00 AM'
GO
