My Problem.

I have a source XML file.
I have to get this data into a SQL server table using Bulk Load.
I have one key field missing.
The key field can be obtained if I joint a numnber of elements from the Source XML file to another table in the SQL Server Database.
I understand that I need to create a VBScript within the XDR to do this.

Does anyone have the time to help me.

Thanks

Not my area of expertise, but it sounds like a staging table would help solve the problem of the missing column.

- Build the staging table with the XML contents
- JOIN the staging table to derive the missing column

INSERT INTO MyFinalTable (cola, colb, ... )
SELECT ...
FROM StagingTable ST
INNER JOIN ...
