Hi Guys, I have a question about mapping files that have few if any fields in common. I have 7 tables I am extracting from a database outside of SQL Server. I am using a DTF to extract the data because it is much, much quicker than SQL Server.
Once I have the data I have to map it into SQL Tables. As stated earlier they have few if any columns in common. Is there a way to import them collectively? Or do I have to do 7 imports?

I know a solution doesn't sound promising but I figure it didn't hurt to ask the Experts.

Thanx,
Trudye

The SSIS Import wizard is pretty quick & it creates packages you can re-use
