application to read inputs from a text file and store it in a db

Hi,
I want to know if it is possible to create an application that takes input from a text file and upload it in a database. This application is meant to be used in a university library. The text file will be sent from a mobile phone and the file will have the details of the student who borrowed the book and the details of the book.
It need not be vb.net necessarily, it can be through any platform. I want to know if it is possible, if yes in which platform.
Thank you in advance and sorry if already posted(I searched for it and couldn't find it).

thank you abdul, the link is of great help, and one more thing, is vb.net used to create web applications only or standalone applications(.exe files that run in single system only) also can be created?

yes you can. File -> New Project -> WindowS forms application or more ideal for this project would probably be Console Application
