When i want to import a customers file through FTP using ssis. IS there a way of checking the data integrity with code, or does it do this by itself?

Regards

What do you mean by data integrity?

We import into staging tables, then run a store procedure to clean and format the data into the destination table.
If any errors occur, the process stops and we can look at the data in the staging table.

You can use SSIS to transform the data on load (e.g. data type mapping).
