Import Flat file to sql server programmatically

Hi,

i want to import flat file data to sql server. i created a package in vb.net. if the import table column is identity means i got

Failure inserting into the read-only column "ID".
Column metadata validation failed.
"component "OLE DB Destination" (10)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_ISBROKEN".
One or more component failed validation.
There were errors during task validation. error.

how can i rectify this error or how can i ignore the identity column in coding.

thanks & regards,

sivani

    Don't map a column to the identity column in the table. Leave it out.

    For instance, in terms of SQL this won't work:

    insert into table (ID, Description) values (1,'Row1');

    But this will:

    insert into table (Description) values ('Row1');

    So in your package, don't map a data flow field to the identity column.

    Hi,

    i have created a package successfully to import flat file. i got some error while i am importing fixedwidth textfiles. The error is,

    No column was specified to allow the component to advance through the file.
    component "Flat File Source" (1) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC02020F0.

    and my text file data like this,

    00001234561195469 040000 0000 7674491234 47674491234 211252901209030000199804130128431998041301292900003800IXCRD1


    00001234568002251234 0400234096321234 0000 8002251234 09782251234 111170401218830000199804130634501998041305345900000400IXCRD1

    I don't understand. Don't do anything with the identity column. Leave it out/alone.
