I am a complete newbie to SSIS.
I have a c#/sql server background.
I would like to know whether it is possible to validate data before it goes into a database. I am grabbing text from a |(pipe) delimited text file.
For example, if a certain datapoint is null, then change it to 0 or if a certain datapoint’s length is 0, then change to "nada".
I don’t know if this is even possible with SSIS, but it would be most helpful if you can point me into the right direction.
anything is possible with SSIS!
after your flat file data source, use a Derived Column Transformation. Deriving a new column with the expression being something like the following.
ISNULL(ColumnName) ? “nada” : ColumnName
Then use this new column in your data source destination.
Hope it helps.
