Nice. This method allows for one Table to be imported at a time. Is there a way to import multiple tables at a time?
ReplyDeleteCan we do multiple tables at a time?
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to use this method to import a table from a Pervasive database to SQL Server and it's only importing 999 rows. Any idea why it's not loading the entire table.
