Simple parameter question ie db_name and usage in an expression

Question

Hi,
I just started with SSIS with an example containing a flat xls file with 5 columns and a source table in sql.
The example works fine no parameters etc.
What I want to try out is to make an exception that if a certain db_name = X then the flow should be redirected to another table.
Basicly I need help how to define a parameter to read from the source database like "select db_name as db_name" and use this in the package flow. When db_name=X then flow A ELSE flow B
Any help is very appreciated.

Hi Paul,
Create an object variable with name varObj and create a string variable with name as varDBName
Use this as source query in execute sql tasK: Select <DBNamefield> from Table. In execute sql task do the following:
On General tab: set Result set as Full Result Set
On Result Set tab: Click Add and set Result Name as 0 and select varObj as Variable Name. This variable will capture the value returned from the select statement.
Take a for each loop container and configure it as:
On Collection tab: Enumerator: for each ado enumerator; ADO Object source variable: varObj; Enumeration Mode: Rows in first table.
On Variable Mappings tab: Select varDBName as variable and set Index as 0.
Inside the for each loop put the data flow task. Configure the data flow task and use a conditional split to redirect the rows based on varDBName as : @[User::varDBName]=="x" and so on for different outputs
