Hi,

im just new to SSIS and i have a problem understanding the lookup transformation.

Here is what i want to do.
I have a stream and a table:
stream A
kd_id
kdnr
some more fields...

table B
kdnr
kd_id
kdname

stream A has rows where kdnr is filled and kd_id is NULL
table B is filled (every row has all fields set)

what i now want to do is, to fill kd_id in stream A by a lookup transformation, but i dont understand how to do....

what i have done until now is, to place a refference between kdnr of stream A and kdnr of table B. I dont know how to "copy" kd_id of table B to kd_id of stream A.

thanks

just use select kdnr,kd_id from tableB as query inside lookup task, then map between kdnr columns in table and give option as replace original column. automatically you'll get the matching values from tableB in the pipeline instead of tablea's column (blank). then use it for rest of your logic.

Sorry, i forgot to mention that kd_id is of type int and kdnr of type string, so that i think the replacement will fail. is this correct?
