New destination column not saving

  • Hello SSC,

    I have a simple SSIS package with a Source and Destination. The Source is a SQL Server view, the destination is a SQL Server Table.

    I need to add a new column from the view into the destination table. The problem is that the DBA's have not added the column to the physical destination table yet, but they will. I am able to add the new column to the source and mapping, but when I try to add the new column to the destination, I am able to make the change and add it to the mapping. My issue is that when I check the destination, my changes are gone.

    Can I add a column to a destination table that doesn't exist yet? The column not the table 🙂

    AFAIK, you need to have the schema changes in place before modifying the package. Otherwise, you won't be able to compile it.
