For a varying number of fields per record, you might consider XML, as
it's a good format for that kind of data. But I have to say that I have
very limited experience of importing XML data into MSSQL myself - check
out OPENXML in Books Online, the SQLXML tools from Microsoft (which
include an XML bulk load COM component), and you could also post in
microsoft.public.sqlserver.xml to get some feedback on that approach.
