My preferred method is to import the MS Excel file into a SQL table for verification. I usually set all the columns to a wide NVARCHAR value

You can create a stored procedure to insert the data from the verification table into into your live tables as required.

You can also write logic in the SSIS package to do the same.

Here a link to get you started in import data from MS Excel to SQL Server using SSIS. Come back to us if you need more assistance.

Good luck!

Use a multicast to broadcast data from one source to multiple destinations.

Use multicast on the excel......load id and name cols(from source 1 of multicast) to table 1 and all the addresses in col1, col2, col3(from source 2 of multicast) to table 2.

You can split the name field in a derived column by using a clever combination of FINDSTRING and SUBSTRING.

name varchar(50))

item

itemid identity(1,1) primarykey,

itemname varchar(5))

productitem

(productid datatype reference product(productid),

itemid datatype referenc item(itemid))

how can i insert value in productitem from multicast.

if both are identity column, they will insert automatically

In that case it's better to load the initial load from Excel into a staging table and do everything with TSQL from then on.

what do you mean by that,i need to do it in ssis,how can maintain reference integrity

Koen Verbeeck SSC Guru Points: 259085 More actions · Answer 10

Load the Excel file as-is to a table. --> dataflow

Populate the destination tables using TSQL statements --> Execute SQL Tasks

For the record, it would be appreciated if you stated all your requirements in your original question, instead of halfway through.

Insert data in one table first, get the inserted primary keys, use these to insert in the second table and so forth.

can u give me example with what component do i need to use

Koen Verbeeck SSC Guru Points: 259085 More actions · Answer 14

Sure! The Execute SQL Task.

Although the Execute TSQL Task may be an option as well, but it's interface is slightly worse than the other.
