Yes, I believe so.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

Jeff, BOL says this -

Permissions

Only members of the sysadmin and bulkadmin fixed server roles can execute BULK INSERT.

If I can't convince almighty DBA to make me either, I'm screwed? Or BOL is bogus, and they can just grant me BULK INSERT on TempDB?

Well if your DBA does not grant you permission, can you create a table and drop it after you are done ?

How big is your CSV file? If it's relatively small, and you are writing an app anyway, why not just write some code in the app to suck up the PKs and write it to a base table?

There is no "i" in team, but idiot has two.

You only need BulkAdmin privs...
