Question

I need to import a .csv file into a SQL table.

The input file looks like:

gru,212,BNP10H,bnp10h,1,01,Gestore 01
limGru,2012-09-12,17:21:05,kair103,,,,
limGru,2012-10-19,09:45:03,kair028,,,,
limGru,2012-10-19,09:45:06,kair028,,,,
limGru,2012-10-19,09:45:14,kair028,,,,
gru,207,BNP50E,bnp 50 equity,1,01,Gestore 01
limGru,2012-09-13,11:49:58,kair022,,,,
limGru,2012-10-05,15:20:11,kair048,,,,
limGru,2012-10-17,09:23:14,kair048,,,,

and i would import only the rows that begin with “limGru”.

Any idea in how to implement my task?

EDITED: please note that the rows have different number of columns, depending on the first filed (“gru” or “limGru”)

Answer 1

Import all data from the flat file and then use the conditional split transformation.
If you’re not familiar with the transformation follow the link below:
