I have to load a flat file that has different header and detail with variable number of columns. These have parent child relations. How to load the data into SQL Server? The file looks like this:

Can you add descriptions for what each segment is used for? Specifically, tell us what DEP, BAT, BPR, and RMR are and how they relate. – Enchantress
Eww, nice edit @Donut. EDI is so bad. Thank God for XML. – Enchantress
@Mohammadmohammed - I've done EDI processing before (810, 856, few others) just using simple C# classes and string parsing. If you're set up SSIS you may end up doing something along those lines anyway. EDI is a pain because it tries to be a hierarchical format when it's transmitted as a flat file. Before I spend effort on an answer, let me know if a C# module would be usable. – Enchantress
@Yuck- This is the complete file. I am using SSIS 2005. If you can give me the code in VB.net , it would be great ! – Mohammadmohammed
@Yuck- ISA is Header of file in Detail records- Loop1- DEP- it has some AMT and QTY records Then Loop2- BAT- it has AMT and QTY records Loop3= BPR- it has REF records Loop4- RMR- it has REF and DTM records so the parent child relationship is between the loop and its contents – Mohammadmohammed
@Siva- The each row in the file is a set of tables. ISA if loaded into table called "ISA", QTY is loaded into table "QTY" and so on. The columns will be same as the columns in the file with addition to column that can identify the hierarchy. For example, Theadditional column in QTY and AMT will tell to which parent it belongs to- (DEP or BAT). Similiarly, additional columnn REF will tell wo which parent it belongs to (BPR or RMR). All other tables will have column that will tie it to the Header "ISA". I can tie the tables to ISA – Mohammadmohammed
Technically, this is NOT a flat file. It is very non-flat. – Lakin

Here is one possible way of loading this file into SQL Server. Below shown example reads the contents of EDI 823 Lockbox file and loads into multiple tables along with the relationship. I am sure that there are other better ways of doing this. This is just one example of loading an EDI file into SQL Server.

The example reads the EDI file line by line and then splits them based on the character asterisk (*). The script component assigns the value to the variables in the Script Component to populate the tables. After the data is populated by the Data Flow Task, the Execute SQL Task will update the ParentId column in the tables dbo.AMT, dbo.DTM, dbo.QTY and dbo.REF using the stored procedure dbo.UpdateHierarchy. The table 'ISA' contains the data of all other segments. Screenshots show how the data is stored in the child tables.

SetId columns used in all the tables will group data of a file in order to avoid wrong parent id being referred from data pulled from another file. SetId will be unique for each file loaded into these tables.

Step-by-step process:

  1. Create 5 tables named dbo.AMT, dbo.DTM, dbo.ISA, dbo.QTY and dbo.REF and a stored procedure named dbo.UpdateHierarchy in the database using the scripts provided under SQL Scripts section. Tables AMT, DTM, QTY and REF will store the data of the segments named similarly and the table ISA will contain all other segment data.

  2. Create an OLE DB Connection named SQLServer to connect to the SQL Server instance and create a Flat File Connection named Source as shown in screenshots #""1"" - #4. Flat File connection will use the EDI file. Remove the Column delimiter because the file has varying number of elements. This example will split the elements using the Script Component.

  3. On the SSIS package, create 5 variables as shown in screenshot #5. Also, place a Data Flow task and an Execute SQL Task on the Control Flow tab of the package as shown in screenshot #5.

  4. Configure the Data Flow Task with Flat File Source, Script Component, Multicast, Conditional Split and 5 OLE DB Destinations as shown in screenshot #6.

  5. Configure the Flat File Source to read the EDI file using the Flat File connection name Source.

  6. Configure the Script Component as Transformation task as shown in screenshots #7 and #8. Create all the other variables using the names and data types using the data provided under Script Component Variables section. Replace the class ScriptMain present within the Script Component Transformation task with the code provided under Script Component Code.

  7. Configure the Conditional Split as shown in screenshot #9.

  8. Configure the OLE DB Destination AMT to insert data into the table dbo.AMT and map fields as shown in screenshot #10.

  9. Configure the OLE DB Destination QTY to insert data into the table dbo.QTY and map fields as shown in screenshot #11.

  10. Configure the OLE DB Destination REF to insert data into the table dbo.REF and map fields as shown in screenshot #12.

  11. Configure the OLE DB Destination DTM to insert data into the table dbo.DTM and map fields as shown in screenshot #13.

  12. Configure the OLE DB Destination Other to insert data into the table dbo.ISA and map fields as shown in screenshot #14.

  13. On the Data Flow tab, configure the Execute SQL Task as shown in screenshot #15.

  14. Screenshots #16 and #17 shows sample package execution. File data used for testing this example is provided under section EDI File Content.

  15. Screenshot #18 shows data in table dbo.AMT in comparison with data in table dbo.ISA.

  16. Screenshot #19 shows data in table dbo.QTY in comparison with data in table dbo.ISA.

  17. Screenshot #20 shows data in table dbo.REF in comparison with data in table dbo.ISA.

  18. Screenshot #21 shows data in table dbo.DTM in comparison with data in table dbo.ISA.

Hope that helps.

You can use a script component source to build the rules on handling the file. That's well described here and here. You may be able to use the EDI Source from CozyRoc, but I don't believe they have indicated it has been tested with EDI 823.

This is why translation engines are available and so widely used. I love the detail of the solution above, but also feel like there's some reinvention of the wheel.

Take a look at Jitterbit. It is open source, and pretty user friendly for data transformations.

You can model your source, model your target and then do a transformation. Based on your models, you'll have much more control over the transformation that what SSIS will give you. Sure there's a learning curve, but you can automate the communication / transformation. There also would be ZERO code to write.
