I would like to import from xml source to sql table but only if the record is not in the table already.
I have an xml source I would like to import to a table in sql but only if the record does not already exists in the table
example xml source has record1,record2 the table has record 2
so only import record 1

I tried to connect the xml source file to oledb using oledb command as a transformation and entered a merge sql command but was not successfull

did you try OPENROWSET BULK?

see

you just need to include an additional where clause like

WHERE NOT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM table WHERE PK= t.PK)
