Mapping Columns Automatically?

New to SSIS...

I created a new package with a source and destination and manually created the output column with data type, etc. Works. The issue is say the table has 200 columns to export.. I dont want to create these by hand. How can I just say export them all to csv format and not have to specify and map each and every column?

Use the Export Data Wizard in SSMS.

|||Thats fine and dandy when starting from scratch. But if you have spent a lot of time building scripts and other actions in an existing package... it seems that it should be simple to add all columns to an existing text export. This seems like it would be such a common issue there has to be a solution.|||

You could replace your existing source adapter with a new one. The default behaviour is to select all columns which by the sound of it is what you want.

The new columns will automatically appear in the metadata of downstream components.

|||Thanks.. I will try that and see how it goes.

Management tools SQL2005 and table ovner name dbo.tablename.

Hei all
Using the new SQL Server2005 Management tools to view and edit
tables/storedprosedures it automatically prefix the table and SP names with
the ovner name. We usually type the first letters of the tablename to find
the table name. Now we have to start with dbo.tablename every time. Is there
a setting to get rid of this ovner name in this list?
thanx all
geirFor 'normal' users in the database, you can specify a default schema:
use master
create login user1 with password = 'bla'
use adventureworks
create user user1
alter user user1 with default_schema = person
Given that proper permissions are in place, user1 can now:
select * from address
where the actually table name is person.address.
Default schema is ignored for members of 'sysadmin'. All members of the
sysadmin fixed server role have a default schema of dbo.
Hope this helps,
Hans

Thanx for your reply.
Mabe I don't explain good enough. The short version is:
In the Management tools (Enterprice manger on sql2000) I don't want to see
the owner of the tables and SP' in the list. Can I remove this.
Why?
Because when I want to look up a table I just writes the name and it
"autosearches" the tablename. In SQL2005 I have to start with dbo.tablename
every time. I want to scip dbo. and just write the tablename to find my
table and edit it. The same for procedures.
regards
geir

Management Studio: "select *",column names automatically filled in?

I am new to SQL 2005 and can't figgure this out. If I open a table, the
results are displayed. If I then modify the query statement (leaving
select *) and then click on execute, all of the column names are filled
in. Quite annoing. Is there any way to turn this "feature" off and just
leave the "*"?
It would also be nice to have the color coded query designer with an
editable result set, is there any way to do this?
Thanks!Most people don't want the particular feature you request as such
unqualified column fetches do not offer the best performance.

It becomes a crutch because it seems so 'easy', yet over time, it can cause
problems. Too much unnecessary data retrieved (and transmitted), potential
for broken applications when there is a business need to add additional
columns to the table and the application doesn't expect them, etc.
It is a 'Best Practice' to only SELECT the specific columns needed for a
particular purpose.
Welcome to SQL Server, and good luck.

For reasons of performance and maintainability you should always avoid
using SELECT * in any production-quality code. If you need to do this
for ad-hoc / non-production use you can just save the script as a
query. Click New Query and then save the file.
The fastest way to learn is to ignore the "designer" and "open table"
features and just type your queries directly. The query designer has an
annoying habit of rewriting your queries for you. It also has a lot of
limitations.

Whenever possible please post enough code to reproduce your problem.
Including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements usually helps.
State what version of SQL Server you are using and specify the content
