I’m having a strange problem with SSIS. I’m exporting some data from a database into a flat file. It comes out all fine – except that rather than displaying the data like this:
ID FirstName LastName Age
It comes out like this:
ID FirstName LastName Age ID1 FirstName1 LastName1 Age1
Now, its not repeating the same data (ever), so the data might realistically look like this:
1 John Doe 23 2 Jane Doe 22
Why is it repeating like this?
In a fixed-width destination (even though it’s “text”) – it’s really fixed width records (just in a text representation in the code page of your choice), one after another with nothing in between them. So you need to add a record/row delimiter – in this case CRLF.
If you are in a Flat file destination component and click the new button to crete a destination data adapter right there – the “wizard” gives you four options. The difference between fixed-width and fixed-width with row delimiters is that it just puts a little CRLF column on the end.
