Then you can easily identity which file belong to which system and then load it to the respective table. Hints for you do not belong in your db. They belong in your code:. Now, if you have files which are very similar in terms of the names of the files, you can easily setup a convention to loop through the files and Bulk Import each based on your specific convention.
In the sample below, I'm looping through hundreds of text files which have the date in the name of the file this is for time series financial data. Why would you want a field with the name of the table in it? Sorry, but that makes no sense. Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

This procedure accepts Filepath, pattern wildcard and table name as parameters. Example 1 : To import all. This procedure accepts Server name, Database Name, Filepath, pattern wildcard and table name as parameters. Note: Make sure SQL Server Agent is running under an account that has enough access to all the folders and server names that you are passing as parameters. Either by following method 1 or by method 2, the data would be imported to the SQL Server table as shown below.
As mentioned before, the intention of this article is to guide you in how to import multiple files from a folder to a SQL Server table. In this article we will demonstrate a few simple examples of how this works. Firstly it is worth mentioning that the For Loop Container follows the same logic as most other loop mechanism you may have come across, in that it will continue to iterate whilst the loop test EvalExpression is true. There is a known issue with the EvalExpression description in the task UI being wrong at present.
SQL Server Beta 2. CSV format, with 10 rows each, for a total of 30 rows: 3 files, could be more or could be less Our objective is to import the 3 files to our table using an SSIS package. On the General tab, put a more meaningful name and description if you want: On the Connection Tab, we will configure the source and destination connections, and the file format as well. On the Source Connection, just select a single file from the file list you have, could be any file, It just is used to perform the column mapping to the table: On the Options Tab, you configure the batch size options for very large files but for this example, you can leave it with the defaults: Leave the Expressions Tab as it is for now, we will use it later.
Click OK to save the changes. Let us do that for our example: If we check our table, there should be 10 records, as we only tested one file: As you can see, the task works for a single file, now let us proceed to move our Bulk-Insert task to a ForEach Loop Container.
On the General tab, put a more meaningful name and description if you want: In Collection tab, for the Enumerator option, select Foreach File Enumerator, then in the file location properties, select the folder you want and the file format as well.
Leave the Fully qualified option selected: In the Variable Mappings tab, create a new variable. When the new window opens, just change the Name field for the one you want to use, leave everything else as their defaults, and click OK: Leave the index at 0, it should look like this: Click OK to close the properties window.
This way the task will run for each file in the folder: Now the last part is just the configure the variable of the container to be used on the source connection for the bulk insert task. Right click on it and select Properties: In the properties window, select the Expressions property and click on Then drag it to the Expression textbox, and click OK to close the window: Verify that the configuration is correct, and then click OK to close the Property Expression Editor window: Now you can see that the Flat File connection is now parametrized to use the value of each container iteration, an Fx next to the connection indicate us this: And for this example, that is everything.
