Data Reader SQL Command dummy necessary

  • Hello,

    I assigned a sql command to my data reader by using the expression of the data flow task.

    the sql command of the data reader still needs a value to validate.

    Is it sufficient to give it a dummy select since the expression (the real select) will overwrite

    the sql command of the data reader?

    thanks

  • I just executed my package but the validation time is taking ages....running since 9 minutes validating

    my data flow task.

  • Can you provide more information about what you're trying to accomplish? It looks like you're trying to script in SSIS but it's unclear what your goal is.

  • Hi Tim,

    I cracked down on the validation. I am using a for loop in ssis to loop through years like 2000 +1, 2001+1, 2002+1 < 2003.

    Each year has about 50 000 records that will be inserted into my oracle db form an as400.

    I used this looping trick to overcome the oracle buffer overflowing before the "commit". I hope

    that will work i.e. the rows will be instered in batches. I am running the package now and keep the result posted here.

  • Thanks for the update, let me know how it turns out.
