Read information from excel file into ms sql table ?

Hi,

I want to insert a long list of articles and prices from a excel ark to two different database tables. These tables are linked together with a unique id, called obj_num.

Is there any possible way to do this ? Right now I do i manually and it takes for ever!


¤¤My Excel ark,
Column A1 (Article)
-----------
Coke
Fanta
Sprite
etc ..

Column A2 (Price)
-----------
2
2.2
3
etc ..

¤¤My database
table_article
-----------------
obj_num
name

table_price
----------------
obj_num
price

Best Regards
Magnus
