Help creating SSIS

  • I have a text file in an odd format that was created by a custom app for tracking serial numbers.

    The format is:

    ordernumber, numberofserial#s, serial1, serial2, etc...

    Example lines:

    1234, 2, 010101010101, 010101010102

    1235, 1, 010101010103

    1236, 4, 010101010104, 010101010105, 010101010106, 010101010107

    I need SSIS job to daily truncate table and repopulate with:

    order, serial

    order, serial

    1234, 010101010101

    1234, 010101010102

    etc...

    Any guidance appreciated.

    Oh this is in SQL 2008 but no SSIS forum here for 2008.

    Thanks!

  • Asynchronous script transform (google that phrase) to transform the input properly would be my recommendation here. You have a variable set of inputs you want to control for.

    The other option is delivery in full to a staging table, then use UNPIVOT and/or a UNION, followed by stripping out your NULL entries in T-SQL.
