    I receive a flat file which I am importing with SSIS. The problem is the file does not contain a needed field(ssn). I have to query another table to find the ssn information. As an example, I receive a file with about 250 records. These records have firstname, lastname, and dob. I need to use this information to query the other table to find the SSN and add that to a new table. So for each record I must find the corresponding SSN located in the other table. Does anyone have a good idea about how to approach this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Just curious... what company are you working for?

    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.
