QuestionIntegration Services or C# code Pin

Hello,

I will be creating a process that imports time series data from CSV files into an MSSQL database. After the data from the CSV file is processed, the CSV file is moved to an archive folder. If there are multiple CSV files in the processing folder, the process will import them as a batch.

The name(s) of the CSV file(s) will include date information.
At the start of a new day, a new CSV file will be created, I'll use some kind of naming convention for the file to indicate what date it's for. During the day, the CSV file will be appended to.

I am pondering whether I should:
- Create a SSIS task to perform this process, and schedule it to run every X minutes
- Create a C# Console application that monitors the processing folder, for mods to an existing file, and additional .csv files (for batch processing)

What do you think the advantages/disadvantages of either approach are? Which one would you use? Also, can I use LINQ in any way to read the CSV data?

I'm using MSSQL 2005.

Thanks a lot for any pointers/suggestions/best practices.

Richard Rogers
