Can I use a SQL Server View as the target table of a dataflow?

Hi,

 

I'm new to this forum so please be gentle .  I've got two dataflows:

 

  • Dataflow A - collects dataset A and plugs it into target table C (after running the data through table comparison and history preserving transforms)
  • Dataflow B - collects dataset B and plugs it into the same target table C (after running the data through a table comparison transform.  It doesn't have a history preserving transform)

 

 

Target table C is effectively a union of datasets A and B.

 

There are two dataflows because datasets A and B are structured differently and e.g. the table comp in dataflow A is a bit different to that in dataflow B.  Also, dataflow A has a history preserving transform but the other one doesn't because again the source data is structured differently.

 

I would like the table comparisons in both dataflows to "detect deleted rows" but at the moment I can't do this.  If I do, when dataflow A runs, it will think that all of dataset B has been deleted and when dataflow B runs, it will think that all of dataset A has been deleted.  Not what I want

 

Is it possible for the target table to be a SQL Server view which limits the data that the table comparison will check against?  So e.g. for the above, the target table in dataflow A would use a view which limits the data to just dataset A.  If this is possible, will dataset B then be untouched by dataflow A?

 

Has anyone done this or tried this before?

 

Many thanks,

Pawel
