Step 7:
Click on the data flow task and then drag a Flat file source .


Step 8:
Browse flat file


Step 9:
Drag and drop import column transformation


Select input column as FilePath



Step 10:
In input and output properties create a output column as TextFileColumn


Step 11:
Give a LineageID 24 of FilePath is FileDataColumnID of TextFileColumn



Step 12:
Drag and drop OLEDB destination and edit it


Step 13:
Give a connection manager and select table as Text_test


Now mapping tab map the import Column output to the table Text_test Column and press “OK”.
