You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.
To do this exercise, first open the script in the above folder in Management Studio and execute it to get a table called GrandPrixEvents:
The first few rows generated by the above script.
Now create a package called Noisy and pointless, and within this create a data flow task using the above table as a source:
Your new package should take data from the table you've just generated in SQL Server.
Add a flat file destination like this:
Click on the Flat File destination, and drag it into your data flow task.
Now connect the source to the destination:
Feed the output from the source into the destination.
You should now be able to configure the destination to create a new flat file called Grand Prix venues:
The start of the text file generated when you run your package.
You'll need to create a new flat file connection as part of configuring the flat file destination.
When your package is working, check that it's generated a suitable text file, then close it down.
