Bulk Insert Task
Introduction
As the name suggests the BULK Insert task is used to insert bulk data from source to destination. But the transformation of data is not possible over here. It straight forwards insert bulk data from source to destination. The configuration of bulk insert task is quite simple and there is no need of data flow components over here. Just one control flow tasks is sufficient to insert data from source to destination.
In this article I am trying to illustrate the feature and configuration of Bulk Insert task of control flow.
Type of Source and Destination
The source and destination can be any of the data sources as we have such as OLEDB, excel, etc.
Configuring Bulk Insert Task
Step-1 [ The flat file source and Destination Table ]
The flat file name is "BulkInsertSource.txt"
Destination Table objects name is "tbl_BulinsertDestination"
IF OBJECT_ID(N'tbl_BulinsertDestination', N'U') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
DROP TABLE tbl_BulinsertDestination;
END
GO
CREATE TABLE tbl_BulinsertDestination
(UNIT VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
[YEAR] VARCHAR(4) NOT NULL,
[PERCENT] DECIMAL(20,2) NOT NULL);
GO
Step-2 [ Control Flow tasks ]
Step-3 [ Bulk Insert Task Editor ]
Step-4 [ Result Set ]
SELECT * FROM tbl_BulinsertDestination;
UNIT YEAR PERCENT
East 2010 50.00
East 2011 55.00
East 2012 60.00
East 2013 45.00
West 2010 0.00
West 2011 40.00
