    Hi @abhishja ,

     

    To read a text file in Power Automate Desktop, refer to the File action here

    You can then save the output to a list and loop through each row.

     

    Depending on your requirement, you can then execute an Insert statement within each loop to write multiple rows or at the end to store it as a single row.  

     

    Be careful of special characters in your text file which may break you SQL statements.   You will need to ensure characters such as ' are escaped.
