How to export data from a table into a text file in SSIS?

  • Hi,

    I am trying to export data from a table in a text file:

    using these controls:

    1)Data flow task

    2)FTP Task

    Inside Data flow task, it does not allow me to define column mappings in lookup.

    Please help

    Thanks in advance.

  • Hi,

    Is it possible to be a little more specific regarding the Lookup part? Are you looking up a table? And what sort of problem are you getting?

  • Hi,

    Data flow task I have successfully added, but now getting error on FTP task.

    While executing package it's giving error: Flat file connection manager is not a file."

    In FileTransfer :Flat file connection manager is given as al ocal path.Do I need to provide something in Remote path also?

  • I am assuming that you want to upload to a FTP destination from a local path.

    So you would require the remote FTP path in your FTP task, as well as the local file.

    Trust this helps

  • Hi, you can do the following to export data from table to file

    DECLARE @sql VARCHAR(2000)

    DECLARE @DAY VARCHAR(20)

    DECLARE @FILE VARCHAR(100)

    DECLARE @DIR VARCHAR(100)

    DECLARE @TABLE VARCHAR(100)

    SET @DIR = 'G:\DRIVE\'

    SET @TABLE = '"SELECT * FROM DATABASE.DBO.TABLE"'

    SET @DAY = CONVERT(VARCHAR(20), GETDATE(), 102)

    SET @DAY = REPLACE(@DAY, '.', '_')

    SET @FILE = FILENAME_' + @DAY + '.txt'

    SET @sql = 'BCP ' + @TABLE + ' QUERYOUT ' + @DIR + @FILE + ' -c -t, '

    EXECUTE master..xp_CmdShell @sql, NO_RETURN

    HOPE THIS HELP
