I am new to SSIS and have (what I hope) is a simple question. In summary what I have and what I'm trying to accomplish:
1. Have an Access db - let's call it 'A' - on a shared network drive and I'm pulling data from one table from this db.
2. Have a SQL Server db, let's call it 'B'.
3. I want to move the records from A to B, however, I first want to check if the record from A already exists in B. If it already exists in B, I DO NOT want to move it to B.

Is this possible to do in SSIS?
In general, how would I accomplish this (do I need to use a data flow transformation of some sort)?

Thank you in advance,
Chuck

Absolutely fantastic!
I knew how I wanted to (and would) do it using SQL (Method 1), but I could not translate it to SSIS. I had all the same steps, except I couldn't figure out how to do the Is Null piece. Handling it in the Conditional Split step was the piece that I was missing!
I don't think I would have ever come up with the Method 2 solution. Very cool. Good to know.
Thank you very much!
Chuck
