Create a table from txt (join) files....

  • Hi,

    I'm new with SSIS and I learning again...

    How can i join txt files and export to a new database or table.

    Example:

    I have 3 txt files: Sales, Customers, Products

    Customers and Products are data from a master table.

    So,

    Sales only have an ID (Identity) and 2 more ID (CustomerID, ProductID)

    I want to create a new table/database with all the information of the three files....

    I already read the txt files, after that apply a sort by Customer.Name and Product.Name, but....and now?

    What are the correct control to make the join into this 3 files and generate the table...????

    Thanks

  • The Merge Join control will generate the joins necessary to link these tables. Using a Merge Join control is similar to writing inner joins.

    Check Merge Join in BOL for an example on how to use it.

  • Hi,

    If this answer is not related to your requirements, pls ignore.

    I guess your SSIS package is for a regular uploads/data feeds to some system. There is nothing wrong in going for some permanent tables which can be used for your processing.
