Inserting with XML files - VERY URGENT!!!

Hello everybody,

I have a problem. I need to insert an unknown number of xml files in a database (all files are always in the same folder), in different tables, each file has the same name that the corresponding table. For example:

Files Tables

user.xml user

purchase.xml purchase

...and so

but the number of files is not always the same, I mean, it can be 6 one day and only 4 the next day.
Can I insert the data in the xml files into the tables with a Foreach Loop Container or any other way? If it's possible, how?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Create a ForEach Loop task to read the files from the directory and assign the name to a variable. Then add a dataflow task to the foreach loop and in your XML source file, select "XML File from variable", then select the variable name.|||

Tom suggestion will work if all file/tables had the same structure, which I doubt. To the original poster: I think what you want to accomplish is not possible. Basically you are asking to create the source-to-target data mapping on the fly and that is something you cannot do in a SSIS package (at least to my knowledge).

Rafael,

One question:

Do you speak spanish? Because if you do, we can continue in spanish. I'm spanish and I think that I can explain you my problem in a better way if I do it in my language.

Thanks

|||You are correct. I don't see any way to use a variable XSD file.

However, you could use the "Inline Schema" in the file, that would work.|||

Radamante,

Yes, I do speak; but I don't think it would be a good idea to continue this thread in Spanish; that could irritate some non-Spanish speaker folks in this forum. If you want, send me an e-mail with your problem (be sure to de-spam my email address before) to see if I can help you.
