[code]Hi all,
I have a spread Excel Sheet with Three (3) Sheets.
1st: has all Customers
2nd: rows refers to customers on 1st sheet
3rd: rows refers to customers on 1st sheet
===>
One-to-many One-to-Many
|Sheet2| --------------> |Sheet1| <------------- |Sheet3|
===>
I need to Export all data to SQL Server 2008. I'm willing to create tables with respect to referential integrity.
I'm thinking to export one by one but I thought maybe a better way to do it.
What are some suggestions please for this process?[/code]

you've to thos one by one
first one to start is sheet1
then do others which can be done in parallel after adding lookup to first table created

OK, sounds good. Visakh! thanks man a lot.
I'm planning on using just an export/import wizard to do.
would this be better done using an SSIS package. IF so, please, list the possible tasks to be used.
Thanks.

yep..you can add ssis task

first task would be a data flow task for exporting data from sheet1 with excel source and oledb destination
it has to then followed by another data flow task which has two parallel data flows one from each of other sheets to destination tables. the first data flow is connected to second by means of an onsuccess precedence constraint
