But, when I have comma in a field, then I get them in quoted fields

xxx,yyy,"last,first", "yyyy""",jjj

Here the 3rd field is "last,first". If I have the quote as none, then it is considering the third field as last and not reading properly..

Thanks Rick and Craig!!..And looks like the array size is the one responsible for the job working good when record count is low. Since array count was set to 2000, it didnt cause any problem when it processed 1000 records or so. I tested it by increasing it to 5000 and it worked fine if the record c...

My assumption was that When I give Delete then insert based on key(ID), it deletes all the records with ...
