SSIS - Insert into two different databases, with one Connection Manager

Question

I need to use one Connection Manager for a flat file, and one Connection Manager to SQL, to do the following.
Read from flat file to database X
Select from database X and Insert to database Y
Both databases are on the same instance/server.
I see that the OLE DB Destination Editor has a SQL Command option, although I can't find instructions on how to use it for an insert.
Or is there anyway to accomplish what I need??
Thanks!

Answer 1

If X and Y are on different servers, you can possibly use a single OLEDB connection if the servers are already linked, as in Linked Servers. Then you can use an Execute SQL Task for an INSERT...SELECT using four-part naming convention i.e. [Server].[Database].[Schema].[Object]
If both X and Y are on the same server then you can use a single connection and use three-part naming convention i.e. [Database].[Schema].[Object] in your INSERT statement.
Otherwise you can plan to have three connections -
Flat File connection for the text file
OLEDB connection for database X
OLEDB connection for database Y
1 and two to load the text file to X. Then 2 and 3 to move data from X to Y.
