I want to import excel data into sql-2005 table.

I know how to do it with GUI but the problem I am facing is I have a primary key defined in my table hence when I import data from excel if it has duplicate data it fails due to primary key.

Otherwise it imports successfully.

So I want to edit records in excel file and add new records in excel.
If edited, I want it to be updated in table(Sql) during import process, otherwise I want the record to be inserted in table(sql) during import process.

How can I do this.

You can use SSIS to perform this task. It's more advanced then the default Import/Export component from the Management Studio.

But if what you are trying to do is only a temporary (one time) action, you might be better of just creating some batch tool or just reloading the whole table.
