Re: How to upload a text file into several tables

Hello everyone,

I have a problem for which I need your help as per follows:

1. I have a text file that basically contains data in denormalised form.

2. I have designed all the tables for the normalised data to go in.

3. I would now like to use SSIS to extract the data and populate the tables.

4. Some tables, eg. list of currency needs to be filled first before populating the other data as there is foreign index.

5. What is the best way to achieve this ?

6. Should the linked tables be filled in first and then the 'main' data table be filled ?

7. Should I have several 'control' each for populating each 'parameter table' first and then a final control for populating the 'main' table data ?

Please do send me a link to any similar solution you might have come acros.

Below are two sample rows from the text file:

Quote, QuoteMonth, QuoteType, QuoteCurrency, QuoteCcyDesc, QuoteDate, QuoteVlaue
XASDFASDFDFF344, April 2004, Spot, USD, US Dollars, 04/01/2013, 455,10.23
ASD334344566,May 2013, Non Spot, GBP, Pound Sterlings, 05/01/2013, 234,456.45

Any help is most welcomed.

Thank you in advance for reading.
