I was looking for the best way of extracting an xml file in SSIS,
I have a xml source file with a specific data structure and data types which need to be transformed into a target schema of sqlserver database of a different structure,tthe source file is a complex structure which need to be flattened and validated
With regards to data validations and business rules ,how should be the extraction based on ,should we create a XML Schema with necessary validations ,and reject the files if they don't confirm to the schema,
With regards to changing the structure of the data of the xml data ,what is the best way to implement it ,should we implement with XSLT with XML task to flatten the structure or custom coding with script task in .net framework,also any specific things to avoid while extracting xml using ssis,i have been following previous experience of other people on this forum complaining about the size of the file.
Thanks
