I have tried to following your example posted here verbatim, however, whenever I execute my package it fails on the Execute SQL Task within the Foreach loop. I get the following error "Error: 0xC002F210 at Execute SQL Task, Execute SQL Task: Executing the query ""SELECT '"+@[User::FileList]+","+@[User::MissingFi..." failed with the following error: "Incorrect syntax near '+'.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.Task failed: Execute SQL Task"What should I look for that I may have overlooked earlier?My variablesname datatype valuesql_str String "SELECT '"+@[User::FileList]+", "+@[User::MissingFileName]+'" as FileList"MissingFiles Object MissingFileName String FileList StringTue, 09 Apr 2013 10:08:41 GMTstephen.brayhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic978505-2779-1.aspxHello,try this select (this pivots rows to one string row):select stuff((select top 10 ',"' + code + '"' from Products order by code for XML path('')), 1, 1, '');Thu, 02 Sep 2010 00:53:39 GMTpetr.novakhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic978505-2779-1.aspx[quote][b]sknox (9/1/2010)[/b]hr_sn, I expect we'll see your article on how to do this in T-SQL soon? :-P[/quote]There's already so many article available to create CSV using SQL and IMO no need of one more, you just need to use search on this site.

One thing that I do agree with is that this isn't necessarily the "Best" solution but as I mentioned at the start of my article, "I wanted to see if there were other ways to do simple programming using simple SSIS control flow components". This was more of an exploratory mission aiming to see what kind of fun things we can do with SSIS. It was a fun exercise that I thought was worth sharing. :-)Cheers,GarimaWed, 01 Sep 2010 13:53:54 GMTGarima Sharmahttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic978505-2779-1.aspx[quote][b]sknox (9/1/2010)[/b][hr].... your explanation as to why you did this in SSIS is a great example of how "best" practices sometimes are NOT the best solution for a particular business need.[/quote]By no stretch of the imagination is the way this task was accomplished in the article the "best" way to do this even for "particular" business needs.

But would be curious to see alternate methods to accomplish this, if any.Thanks,Wed, 01 Sep 2010 11:50:03 GMTAmolNaikhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic978505-2779-1.aspx[quote][b]Jeff Moden (9/1/2010)[/b][hr]I'm a bit torn on this one...The article is nicely written with good clear graphics examples but I just wouldn't do this task this way.
