    Have you considered using XSLT to transform the file? If you already have an XSD then mapping the input columns to that should be trivial with a decent XML Development IDE. Check out XML Spy.

    XML Spy is just a development tool. SSIS, which you said you were open to using, will do the actual conversion of your CSV file to an XML file using the XSLT file you designed in XML Spy and the XSD you were given. Have a look at the XML Task in SSIS. You would be looking at a config similar to this:

    If XML Spy is too pricey search for "free xslt designer" or "open source xml ide" and see what turns up.

    Writing XML Transforms (what you will hear XSLT files referred to) can be a little tricky. A really good site for getting the basics down is the and their XPath Tutorial.

    "I cant stress enough the importance of switching from a sequential files mindset to set-based thinking. After you make the switch, you can spend your time tuning and optimizing your queries instead of maintaining lengthy, poor-performing code."

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    Hey Krishna,

    Were you able to achieve this? If yes

    ..

    can you guide me how?

    I believe XSLT is to transform XML from one format to another not generate from other file formats.

    Thanks,

    Arun
