SSIS Package Problem

Zones: SQL Server 2005, Databases Miscellaneous, MS SQL DTS

Tags: SQL 2005 SSIS Package

Hello Experts,

I am extremely new to SSIS development. I have one package running correctly which is a CSV file on an ftp location. I now need to pick up a pipe delimited file in a new package. The only problem is that I do not have column headings in the file. I have been given a separate file for the field definitions. I have included an example of the field definition. I have attempted to google this and I cannot find anything. Can someone assist me? Can someone also recommend a good book on SSIS development.

Thanks,
Miracle by designs

not sure what the question is.
if the file is pipe delimited, just import into a "staging" table (manually create that table or click the create table button in the data pump task and change the field names accordingly) in Sql You may want to remove characters like # from the column names. in your data pump task just specify that the csv file does not have a header row.

I guess I am still a bit confused. I have only processed files with a header in them. Now I am being give a file with field locations only. I am not sure how to process the file in my SSIS package. Here is a sample file. There will be 23 of these files nightly around 600,000 records so I don't want a slow solution.

file to be processed nightly

cs97jjm3-thank you for the book recommendation!

The staging table did not work. It appears all data is trying to import to one field only. Does anyone else has any suggestions?

I understand....thank you! I have purchased a SSIS book so perhaps I can figure it out.

i found the book a great help

ok...hopefully it will help me with this different file format. Just when I got the package to execute with the column headers they change it. Now I have a file no column headers to map to and a definition file.
