Hi buddy, thank you for sharing your experience. Even though i had difficulties to understand sometimes, i got the idea and managed to practise it by myself at the end of the day.

That sounds good. Self practice makes you perfect. Good you learnt it.

[@rahulgautam511]

Hello Aqil,
As we know, we have three options in the retrieve file names. Could you please tell me how to know where we should the specific option. Generally, I used the fully qualified option. But bit confuse about rest options.
1. Name and extension.
2. Fully qualified.
3. Name only.
Thanks.

[@learnssis]

Hi Rahul, yes we normally use Fully qualified to get the full path of the file.
1. however suppose you just want to move the files from one folder to another using foreach loop container then you can use Name and extension and it will just let you have only file name without file path and then based on this value you can set the value of destination file path and can move the file using File System Task.
3. Suppose you just want to grab the name of the file without extension and want to insert all file names into a sql server table then you can use Name only option.

There is no Folder tab in for each loop container in 2019

[@MVinodKumar-tt1tu]

Hello Sir,
We created variable Filepath and mapped it with foreach Loop and in Flat File Source we took initial file and in Flat file connection manager properties expression just mentioned Filepath variable. How it worked here sir? like how it looped through all files?Please clarify sir. confused

[@learnssis]

When you mapped the FilePath inside foreach loop container, it means when loop will run the Filepath variable will hold the current filepath that foreach loop container is iterating through.
Now whatever task you will put inside foreach loop container that will be executed as well for each file\iteration.
If you will assign the connectionstring string of flat file connection manager with FilePath, then the flat file connection manager can point to that file and that file's data can be read.

[@MVinodKumar-tt1tu]

@@learnssis Yes got it sir. So as we know enumerator which go through each file in the folder and to process with that file we are using data flow task inside the container. To read the the data of all files we used filepath in the connection string. if we map the filepath to container only it will loop through all files. otherwise without mapping i tried sir it was iterating the same file all the times.
Am I correct sir?

@@MVinodKumar-tt1tu Correct.

If i executed more than 1 time rows were doubling. Could you tell me how to use delete statement in execute sql statement for this for each loop

If you don't want to double the rows, just before the for each loop container use an execute sql task, just put a truncate table statement.

This one is difficult I got through everything and then my Foreach Loop and 'Logs' SQL Script got an error that I couldnt figure out:
Error: 0xC002F210 at Logs, Execute SQL Task: Executing the query "insert into FileInfo values ('C:\Users..." failed with the following error: "Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
Task failed: Logs
Any help would be appreciated. Moving on forward from here.

[@learnssis]

Its a SQL server related error, it means the insert query to insert the data to Fileainfo table is missing a column or having an extra column. Just double check the insert query. Open the execute SQL task. Open SQL command, don't go to expression, copy the insert query and try to run the insert query on SQL server management studio on the database where logs table FileInfo exists. You might be missing identity clause to the Id column, its my guess.

Hello there,
How to generate a single flat file from multiple values from for each loop like I have 5 groups but in my out put sometimes I need single destination and sometimes multiple output . Like 5 flat files destination and sometimes one destination it depends on the requirements. Please help !

[@learnssis]

You can take a look at this video "for each loop ado enumerator"
th-cam.com/video/GlznRaeQkx4/w-d-xo.html
You would need to select the distinct groups in an object variable using execute sql task and then you can use foreach loop container with ado enumerator, the files will be created for each group.

[@MD-lu6lb]

@@learnssis how do I populate each group in one destination using union all? Thank you!

[@learnssis]

@@MD-lu6lb If you want to use Union All then you don't need to use the foreach loop here, just use a data flow task, and then in OLE DB Source, write multiple sql queries with union all and in the destination use a flat file destination, this will fetch data from sql server according to the query whether there is a union all or not and will write the data to a flat file.

[@learnssis]

You can take a look at this example as well, where we merged data to a single CSV file.

At 4:34, header column names having double quotes.. how to get rid of them?

[@learnssis]

Sorry, I don't see double quotes in the Header at that location. Although if there are double quotes in the header then, while creating the connection, uncheck "column names in the first data row" | set "Text Qualifier" to ". This won't select any double quote from the file, now click on the checkbox "column names in the first data row" again, so that Header information from flat file can be used.

[@ankbala]

@@learnssis yeah..but in the next step how to do mapping with OLE DB Destination? did I miss any step?

[@learnssis]

@@ankbala If the column names in source CSV file and SQL table are same then they will be mapped automatically, otherwise on the left side, you will have columns from csv file and on the right side, you will have columns from sql table, so you can map the columns like, firstname from flat can be mapped with firstname of sql table and so on.

y did u bring the ROWCOUNT in picture , is it really necessary just to confuse people .

[@learnssis]

Your point of view is correct as well. I thought to include it so that new people know that when they are loading data from different files at the same time they can capture the record count as well. But your point is valid.

Sometimes it's really helpful to learn an extra step. RowCnt is very helptul

[@aerobat150M]

You should take a little more time to explain what you're doing on each step. I had to stop and rewind the video MANY times to figure out what you did. Also, it was extremely difficult to figure out what you typed in the SQL Statement Source in the Logs task.
