Hello Guys,
I have been trying to import a table from CSV flat file to SQL server using SSIS services and when I import it without any edit in mapping then it works fine but when I try to edit mapping like changing the destination column name or datatype or something else then it gives me an error.

Does anybody know what I am doing wrong??

what's the error you're getting? it may be that there are some incompatibility b/w source and destination data types

don't thik that it is because of datatype because when I don't change the table name and destination column names, it works fine and imports data with default column names( column 0, column 1) etc.

The moment I change names it breaks. So datatypes stay intact the only hting I change is names.

do you mean you're trying to rename the columns in your destination table? you cant do that from import export task. the renaming should be done by using sp_rename stored procedure outside of dts

Hi Vishakh,

I am sorry for the late reply. Well, I was using import/ export wizard to import the records and I wanted to change the mapping of the columns in the process itself. But as you said , the wizard did not support that facility, instead I used source, transformation and destination tools to do the procedure and it seems to be working fine.

Thank you very much for your feedback.
