I have a table with a column type of xml. I also have a directory that can have 0 to n number of xml documents. For each xml document, i need to insert a new row in the table and throw the xml into the xml column.

To fit with our clients needs, I need to perform this operation using an SSIS package. I plan to use a Stored Procedure to insert the xml, passing in the file path.

I’ve created the stored procedure and tested, it functions as expected.

My question is, how do I execute the stored procedure from an SSIS package for each xml document is a specific directory?

Thanks in advance for any help.

    You don’t need to use a stored procedure for this. You can do all of this within an SSIS package. Here’s how:

    Have a For-Each Loop task read all available files in the folder. Put the full path of the file into a variable called XMLFileName

    Inside the For-Each loop, use a Data-Flow task read the contents.

    The OLE_SRC is reading from the same SQL Server and it’s statement is SELECT GetDate() as CurrentDateTime

    The DerivedColumn component creates a column called XMLFilePath with the full path of the XML file

    The ImportColumn component is the one that does the magic. It will take the XMLFilePath as an input column, give it the LineageId of a new output column you create and it will import the full XML for you. Read more on how to set it up here:

    Use the OleDB Destination to write to the table.
