I've completed the SSIS tutorial on microsoft's web site and pretty much duplicated it inside my first project as it completely fits. I need to extract from a flat file source, lookup student; instructor; test and date records in DIM tables and finally write out testScores and Agregates to a few FACT tables. I've created all the connection managers I need and created the flat file source and lookup objects in my data flow task. At this point I'm forced to veer from the tutorial as I need to run a query against another database to obtain Student and Instructor data when they don't exist in the appropriate DIM tables. Can anyone provide a list of source, transform and or destination objects I would need to accomplish the following:
If Student doesn't exist in DIM table Then
Query production database for student bio information
using result set from query above, insert new record into dimStudent
End If
Continue processing flat file.
Thanks in advance
