    Since the target table's primary key is auto-incremented, you don't need to provide a value for this column during the insert operation. The database will automatically handle the primary key values.

    Here is an example of how the Data Flow mapping might look:

    • Source Columns: ColumnA, ColumnB, ColumnC
    • Target Columns: ID (auto-increment), ColumnA, ColumnB, ColumnC

    In the Data Flow, the mapping would be:

    • ColumnA -> ColumnA
    • ColumnB -> ColumnB
    • ColumnC -> ColumnC

    The ID column in the target table will automatically generate unique values for each row inserted.
