Hi,
We have to load data from table to csv file using ssis.
The data in the datebase has values with commas. Eg. Company name Inc,. Plc,. etc

How do we byepass the commas from the database fields.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply.
Some column values will have comma in it and other values of the same column do not have commas. Can you please explain briefly how this could be handled

If you do as Peso suggested a comma in the middle of a column will be ignored

then you need to apply expressions to replace commas with blank values. Or if you want a set based solution dump it in staging area, fire an update to replace the commas and then do final population into your destination
