Question

I have two tables(Table1 and Table2) in a SQL Server database and I need to create a third table (Table3) that contains all the columns from the two tables and of course their data. Each row of Table1 is associated with each row of Table2.

This operation is a cartesian product but apparently it is not available in SSIS. May anybody know how to do it?

I read in the Internet that using the cartesian product is not a good practice in terms of performance but Table2 has just one row, meaning that Table3 will have as many rows as Table1

Answer 1

Here is a link where there are explained two methods to obtain a cartesian product by using SSIS:
