DTS Package

  • You can use an Execute SQL Task to drop the table and then use an ActiveX script to create an OpenRowSet query (see BOL for use) that does a SELECT INTO query.  This will require that the text files are comma delimited.

  • can you please tell me how to write an active x script for this

  • This code would go into the ActiveX task. You will also need a connection to the database and two Execute SQL Tasks (just put -- in for the query)

    Function Main()

    DIM oPkg

    DIM oTask

    DIM sSQL

     SET oPkg = DTSGlobalVariables.Parent

     SET oTask = oPkg.Tasks("DTSTask_DTSExecuteSQLTask_1").CustomTask

     sSQL = "DROP TABLE your table name"

     '*** Task to drop table

     oTask.SQLStatement = sSQL

     SET oTask = Nothing

     SET oTask = oPkg.Tasks("DTSTask_DTSExecuteSQLTask_2").CustomTask

     sSQL = "SELECT * INTO

     sSQL = sSQL & "FROM OpenRowset('MSDASQL', 'Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)};" & vbCr

     sSQL = sSQL & "DefaultDir=fully qualified path to file;','select * from file name ')"

     '*** Task to Load table from text file

     oTask.SQLStatement = sSQL

     SET oTask = Nothing

     SET oPkg = Nothing

     Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success

    End Function
