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

Import Flat file to sql server programmatically

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.

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

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