Im using DTS to a basic import of a products csv into a corresponding table in sql server. I use the transformations tab to map up all the fields between the two. I have one field in the sql server table that I need to include a value everytime the dts is run. So for eg one of the fields in the sql table is ProductTypeCode and in this case it should always be 1. Now as a cheap and dirty workaround I could add another column in my csv and give all the fields values of 1 and map that column to my ProductTypeCode in sql server table but surely there a more correct way of doing this simple task.
Thanks in advanceYou can create a query for the source, using the Excel table, you can add a 1 to that query. So when you set up the source, use a query, then use the query builder to setup the initial design from the excel file. Then modify the resulting query to add the 1 parameter.
