Hi friends
I am trying to write vb.net script in SSIS script task for the following logic.
while ( select count(*) from table1) > 0
insertsql = "insert into table1 (col1,col2)values Select col1,col2 from table2"
SqlHelper.ExecuteNonQuery(connectionString, CommandType.Text, insertsql)
End While
insert statement works perfect. How do I write the count sql statement in while ?

selectsql = "select count(*) from table1"

SqlHelper.ExecuteScalar(connectionString, CommandType.Text, selectsql)

While (SqlHelper.ExecuteScalar(connectionString, CommandType.Text, selectsql) > 0

How could I change this script to make it works?

Thanks for help.

You should continue the question because you're still using a loop and a function to do this. 😉

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

I'd imagine he'll be back... with the "my machine is smoking because that thing is processing FOREVER"....:) That's a funny thing that happens when you use a WHILE clause with no exit strategy.....:cool:
