Mappings question in OLE DB Destination

Hi,

I have a situation where I want to map a column from a flat file to TWO columns in a table.

However, in the mappings tab, you can only select the "Input Column" once. Once a column has been used, it no longer appears in the drop down list.

I am wondering if there's a way to override this behavior, and if not, what is the best way to handle this type of situation?

I have added an EXECUTE SQL task to update the second column with the inserted column values, but I would like to know if the default mapping behavior can be changed, as it seems so limited.

Thanks

Add a derived column right before the destination and select the column that you want to use more than once and drag it to the expression box. Adjust the name of the new column accordingly.

Then in the OLE DB Destination you can select the column you just added.

Great, thanks

Mappings in the packages

Hi all,

Is it possible to get information of the mappings availabe in the packages?, like the column mappings in the OLE Destination control, column mappings in the merge join control etc.,. I want the information of source and destination in the mappings(name of the DB, table). I want that to be in some file like excel file. Inform me is there a way to get it?

Thanks in advance,

Saravanan.W.S

Currently there is not way to export that kind of mapping metadata to Excel. Depending on your needs, however, you may find the SQL Server 2005 Business Intelligence Metadata Samples Toolkit useful. You can download it here ...
