Question on combining data into one row.

  • I have 3 pieces of data coming from 3 different databases so as I understand it I need 3 different data flows as I am getting 3 different pieces of data.

    For each data flow I'm using an OLEDB source which is connected to a derived column which connects to an OLEDB destination. The destination is the same for all 3 pieces of data.

    The only problem is that this is creating 3 new rows and I only want one row with each piece of data in a different column.

    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

  • I think you can do that right in SSIS, but what I've done in the past is insert each into a separate "holding table", then use a query with the right joins to populate the final table. That may not be the best solution, but it's what I'm familiar with and it does work.
