When It Doesn’t Work

So, I’ve recently come into “loanership” of a brand new box for a specific project and it was loaded with my most favourite of favourite operating systems (not). Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit edition. Wow. After rolling that out my mouth, I have installed on it (stock standard next, i agree, next, next, finish) Microsoft Sql Server 2008 R2 64-bit edition. Wow again. There’s a lot of editions and bits flying around here quite casually.

And to boot, there’s Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010. Oooo. The joy.

First development-related task on shiny hardware (with an OS that is probably a tribute to Timothy Leary) is … wait for it … really complicated … so i need you to focus now … import a flat file (a CSV or comma-seperated values file) into a brand spanking new database as a table. Without writing a single line of code and using all the tools provided by all the spunky long-winded monikers. Tricky? Apparently.

You Kidding?

The real joy came in when clicked retry. Phooof!
