Hi guys,
I am trying to import CSV file with a lot of columns. Is there a way to create these columns automatically in my target table? I cannot see this option while creating transform map.

Hi,
Short answer, no you can't.
The purpose of the transform is not to create or change the data model in the target table, it's just to put the right data/fields in the staging table into the target table.
The staging table on the other hand is more dynamic, and can/should be changed if the import file changes with added columns etc.

Hi Alex
you can use the Easy Import feature and then after the first import you can modify automatically created configurations.
Kind regards
Maik
