CSV Input Files & # Of Commas Between The Quotes

edited May 13, 2010 10:45AM in Database Utilities (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered
 We have been using stored procedures to load *.CSV files from the school district's FMS.  In testing for our third link, we have found that when processing inbound data via an external table, a table will not import if there is more than one comma between the quote marks.  If I segregate out the multiple comma field records, then the rest of the data will process just fine.  Is this normal?  Sample of offending records during the last test load:

Howdy, Stranger!
