Simple Importing Data from Flat File

  • Hello,

    I newbee in SSIS.

    I try to make a SSIS Package to import data from flat file and validate the data.

    I was seeking examples, and I found several but none where validate the data.

    I was trying to do the same like SQL 2000 into DTS.

    Into Lookups I defined several queries one to validate if data exists, one to log and one to update.

    Into de Transformation I defined a Script and write the logic to call the lookups.

    into SSIS I dont know what items of toolbox use, well, I know the basics to import the file

    but i dont know how to validate the data, I see the lookups but I cant introduce the queries, I dont know if use Script Task or Script Component and I dont know how to link de shapes.

    Thanks in advanced.

  • Hi,

    Lookups are meant for looking up and returning data from a database table. Validation is up to the package creator since he/she would know what data needs to be validated and the criteria for that validation. that being said, it sounds like you may have to use a script component in your data flow task and write a custom validation procedure using VB.NET or C# (VB and C# availible in version 2008). Hope that helps!

    Thanks,

    Strick

  • If you are new to SSIS the question is if you will do more than just import flat files else I would

    recommend you to use bulkinsert instaed . Look in BOL for examples.

    The dataevaluation can (hopefully) be done with SQL-statement,procedures etc.
