The problem
During the passed few months the below described procedure has worked without any problems a vast majority of the times it has run (on 2008 r2). We have, however, three instances of incorrectly connected data. The question is, what is causing this and how do I remedy it?
DATA_PreImp
sourceid col01 col02 col03 col04 col...
100001 John Smith
100002 Calvin Klein
100003 Peter Parker
100004 Moe Greene
Usually the rendered result is that the attribute is connected to the Items_Main correctly but sometimes (less than 1%) the order is scrambled so that the value of col01 is not connected to the same Items_Main as the value of the rest of the columns.
Any insights as to what is causing this would be most appreciated.
The data moving procedure
We have an SSIS package that transfers data from a flat table called DATA_PreImp to a structure consisting of three related tables (attribute based).
The first step in the SSIS package inserts the data from DATA_PreImp to Items_Main and inserts the generated identifier into the TARGET_ID column in the empty DATA_PreImpMappingTMP table.
insert into items_main(creationdate, status)
output inserted.itemid into DATA_PreImpMappingTMP(TARGET_ID)
select getdate(), '0' from data_preimp
order by sourceid asc;
The second step in the SSIS package fill the Items_MainRel table with TARGET_ID (Itemid originally) and an identifier for the feature (in this case a 5).
insert into items_mainrel(itemid, featureid)
output inserted.itemrelid into DATA_PreImpMapping2TMP(INDREL_ID)
select TARGET_ID, 5 from DATA_PreImpMappingTMP
order by TARGET_ID asc;
The third step is to fill the SOURCE_ID column in the DATA_PreImpMapping2TMP table with the SOURCE_ID from DATA_PreImp.
with cte as (select sourceid, row_number() over (order by sourceid asc) as row from data_preimp)
update m set m.SOURCE_ID = s.sourceid, m.FEAT_ID = 5
from DATA_PreImpMapping2TMP as m
join cte as s on s.row = m.ROW;
The last step is to fill the Items_FeatureValues table with data from DATA_PreImpMapping2TMP and DATA_PreImp.
insert into items_featurevalues(itemrelid, languageid, fnvarchar)
select DATA_PreImpMapping2TMP.INDREL_ID, 0, data_preimp.col01
from DATA_PreImpMapping2TMP
join data_preimp on (DATA_PreImpMapping2TMP.SOURCE_ID = data_preimp.sourceid)
where FEAT_ID = 5
Data table structure
Here is what is needed to create the scenario:

The problem was the computed column CUST_CD. After a lot of researching, it seems that the BULK INSERT does not like complex computed types (see Using SQL Server spatial types in SSIS data load). The solution is to removed the computed column and just make it a varchar(20) NULL. Then I created a new Execute SQL Task that updates any NULL rows with the computed value.
