Best practice for writing from VB script to a table

Hi all,

I have an import process in SSIS 2005 that imports data from SQL to SQL.  During this process, data gets derived into ColA using VBSciprt.

As well as going into the main table, there needs to be a row added for the value of ColA i.e. if Row 1, ColA = 5 then 5 rows get added to the other table.  If Row 2, ColA = 2 then 2 rows get added etc.

There is currently a process in existence that I was going to copy, however it writes to a text file using the method below, which then gets imported into the other table.  I don't think this is best practice.

Could someone tell me the best (quickest and least resource hungry) method of doing what I need to do please?

Regards,
Kinton

Current method of writing the derived column(s) to a text file:
    Dim DestFile  As String
    Dim oWriter As StreamWriter
    Public Overrides Sub acquireConnections(ByVal Transaction As Object)
        Dim oConMgrFact As IDTSConnectionManager90 = Me.Connections.BI
        DestFile = CType(oConMgrFact.AcquireConnection(Nothing), String)
    End Sub
    Public Overrides Sub PreExecute()
        oWriter = New StreamWriter(sDestinationFile, False)
    End Sub
    oWriter.WriteLine(subscriptionID & "," & letter & "," & sent & "," & renewed & "," & client)
