T-SQL Bulk Insert From Text (TXT) File Into A Temporary Table

First, have a text file with some values you would like to BULK INSERT.
The example below is a text file called ‘animals.txt’ with contents of:

 cat
 dog
 fish
 bird
 snake

The SQL snippet:

 CREATE TABLE #TempTable (Pets CHAR(16));
 BULK INSERT #TempTable
 FROM 'C:\SQLTesting\animals.txt'
 WITH
 (
 DATAFILETYPE= 'char',
 FIELDTERMINATOR=',',
 ROWTERMINATOR='\r' -- Carriage Return
 );
 SELECT Pets FROM #TempTable;
 -- Remove our temporary table.
 DROP TABLE #TempTable;
