What is the best way (regarding the performance) to upload file lines to a table in DB

Running SP for each line or smth else..

Thanks
 
BCP or DTS.

.... and if I have to do some checks on each line
is there any way to store all the raw data (and some other corresponding data) in some intermediate object (dataset?), and then upload it to the table by one move
running SP n-times doesn't sound good

Thanks.
 
ADO won't help here unless you roll your own UPDATE statements in a batch
and execute the batch yourself.
I still think DTS (which can do some manipulation too) would be a better
approach. You can read the data from the source (or generate it), write to a
delimited file and then get DTS to upload it. Yes, round-trip scenarios are
going to be very slow.
