I haven't worked with the built-in SQL database before. I just need

something pretty simple.
I have a list of Networks, and Servers on those Networks. The list
is in a
text file. I just need to read it in, and add each line's data to
fields in
a database.
So the text file might look like this:
NET: WINDOWS_OFFICE
SER: Win_Off_A
SER: Win_Off_B
NET: WINDOWS_Remote
SER: Win-Rem_A
NET: NY_Loc
SER: NY_A
SER: NY_B
SER: NY_C
SER: NY_D
I'd like to read this in line by line, and add each line to a
database so:
NETWORK SERVER KEY_FIELD
WINDOWS_OFFICE Win_Off_A WINDOWS_OFFICEWin_Off_A
WINDOWS_OFFICE Win_Off_B WINDOWS_OFFICEWin_Off_B
WINDOWS_Remote Win-Rem_A WINDOWS_RemoteWin-Rem_A
NY_Loc NY_A NY_LocNY_A
NY_Loc NY_B NY_LocNY_B
NY_Loc NY_C NY_LocNY_C
NY_Loc NY_D NY_LocNY_D
Can someone walk me through the basic procedure to do this?
You just did all the "hard work" describing what you need to do
No real need to put both the network and server into one field since
in SQL you can search on multiple fields very easily
The only thing your missing is
1) create a file to hold the database
2) create a table - create table network_servers ( network text,
server text)
3) insert each row as you figure out what should be in it -
"insert into network_servers ( network, server) values ('" + network
+ "','" + server + "')"
4) check for errors along the way
