I have to insert new records in a database every day from a text file ( tab delimited). I'm trying to make this into a stored procedure with a parameter for the file to read data from.

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.UpdateTable

    @FilePath

    BULK INSERT TMP_UPTable 
    FROM @FilePath
    WITH 
    ( 
        FIRSTROW = 2, 
        MAXERRORS = 0, 
        FIELDTERMINATOR = '\t', 
        ROWTERMINATOR = '\n' 
    )

    RETURN

Then i would call this stored procedure from my code (C#) specifying the file to insert.

This is obviously not working, so how can i do it ?
