Flat File Importation via Azure Data Studio

Josephine Bush needs to import a file:

Initially, I thought I would have to use sqlcmd because I’m on a Mac and don’t have SSMS. It turns out Azure Data Studio has a nifty way to import data from flat files – yay!

I’ve used this extension a few times in the past on Linux and Windows and it’s pretty good, especially if you have a fairly straightforward flat file. If it’s a messy file, you’ll still get inscrutable errors. And, as far as data sources go, GIGO.
