How to load data into Azure SQL Data Warehouse using SSIS

In this post, let us see how to load files from local folder into Azure SQL Data Warehouse using Azure SQL DW Upload Task in SSIS.

After creating an SSIS package, drag & drop Azure SQL DW Upload Task into Control Flow.

In the task editor, first let us provide source information - Local Directory, Recursively, FileName
