flat file connection string

Hello,

i can't find the connection string (and the def of the options) to
access a flat file from SQL Server 2005.
I guess it is something like:
Provider=Micros oft.Jet.OLEDB.4 .0; Data Source=MyFlatFi le; Extended
Properties=... etc.etc

Can anyone help me?

Thx,

Chris

Is there a way to tell PHP, "Spend 5 seconds trying to reach the database, if you can't reach it, then load the file from the cached flat file." I suspect the answer is no. I'm tempted to rewrite all my code in Java, just so I can have threads. And private methods. And private class properties. And real encapsulation. And interfaces. And abstract classes. And the ability to do anything.

It seems to automatically map columns from the flat file to columns in the sql table where the names of the columns are equal. But can it also do it automatically on position, so flat file column 1 goes to sql table colum 1,...
