Question : transformations to a temp table in DTS
|
|
I have a DTS package that is importing 2 columns into a staging table. My boss doesn't want the staging table cluttering up our core product since this is really maintenance I think. So I want to change my existing transformation which is going from Excel to that table to now reference a temp table. When I am in DTS though in the Destination tab for the transformation, I don't see temp tables. Is there a way to reference my temp table in the destinations tab?

You can add 2 execute sql tasks to your DTS - one before transformation task, one after transformation task. The first one:
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[your_staging_table]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1) drop table [dbo].[x] GO CREATE TABLE your_staging_table (Field1 INT, ....)
The second one: DROP TABLE your_staging_table
