Question

I don’t know too much about SSIS and I’ve googled as much as I could on this. I’d really appreciate any help I could get.

I’m building an SSIS package and I only want to insert a specific set of data from a Flat File Source. Is there a way to use a WHERE clause to only pull specific data in?

For example, how can I make this query into a Data Flow Task?

INSERT INTO #TempTable (Column1, Column2)
SELECT Column1, Column2
FROM TEXTFILESOURCE
WHERE Column1 <> 'ABC'

Can this be achieved through Data Flow Task?

Answer 1

AFAIK there is nothing in the Flat File Source task that can do this, but once you have that set up and the data flowing in, you can use a Conditional Split to filter the rows using the same logic as your Where condition in your query.
