I am attempting to import an Excel sheet into a SQL table. The tables that I am trying to import into also contain a primary "Employee_ID" key. I have been testing out using SSIS in Visual studio to make a data flow and data conversion package, but I am at a loss as how to import these new records into the tables that need to be updated and also be able to assign a new "Employee_ID" to the new record. I am no expert and I don't want to attempt anything in a live environment until I have been able to test the process. In a nutshell, these are options for what I want to get accomplished:
- Import the Excel spreadsheet via SSIS in Visual Studio
- Manually Import the sheet through the Import/Export wizard in SQL
- Import the Excel sheet through a linked table in Access
- Perform the import in any of these options while also having the new record...
