I studied the new MERGE Statement and there is a nice example for importing a flatfile.
INSERT <Table>
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET BULK <Import-Flat-File>, <Format-File>...
seems to be a good replacment for such a simple job and avoids to build a SSIS-Package.
EXEC XP_CMDSHELL bcp <Table or View> out <Flat-File> ...
is almost simpler than building an SSIS, isn't it?
(I know that the MERGE-Statement doesn't run on a SQL2005)
