Question

I am running an Execute SQL Task statement in my SSIS package. The Execute SQL Task is running sql and checking that the tables have more than 1000 rows. If they have less than 1000 rows, I want to fail the package.

How do I force a fail inside of a SQL statement?

Answer 1

AFAIK, tasks in SSIS fail on error. So if your Execute SQL Task has a statment like so in it:

declare @count int select @count = select count(*) from my_table if @count < 1000 begin     raiserror('Too few rows in my_table',16,1) end else begin     -- Process your table here end 

You should get the results you want.
