You cannot write SQL override for flat file

Use the file as source, then a sorter, and then a expression to store the previous value,filter those which matches the previous record and the load them into the same flat file as target

SRC-->SQ-->LKP-->EXP-->UPD-->T1

LOGIC IS
LKP: EMPNO=IN_EMPNO
EXP:IIF (LKP_EMPNO=EMPNO, D,I)
ROUTER (GROUPS: DELETE----D>
INSERT---->I)
UPD_DELETE (DD_DELETE)(Connect to delete group and pass only the primary key column)
UPD_INSERT (DD_INSERT)
NOTE: take two instances of same target..
So you have to run the mapping two times.. For this
(OR)
Otherwise you can use dynamic lookup in this way
SRC-->SQ-->DY_LKP-->EXP-->UPD_T1
LOGIC:
DYNAMIC LOOKUP: Check the lookup property as dynamic
EXP:IIF (NEW_LOOKUP_ROW =0,R, I)
FILTER: NEW_LOOKUP_ROW! =0
TARGET: T1

Use sorter transformation after SQ and check the distinct check box of sorter.finally connect to the tgt.

Using Sorter Transformation it will delete duplicate records and using Expression Transformation...

Code
  1. S->SQ->EXP->Router->TR....

  2. Exp Logic=V_Prod_id=Prod_id

  3.                V_Dup_Count(V)=iff(prod_id=V_Prod_id,1,0)

  4.                Dup_count(O)=V_Dup_Count

  5. Router Logic

  6.    Unique=Dup_count=1........> Unique Records

  7.    Duplicate=Dup_Count>1.....>Duplicte Records

  8.    Connect to Target Table

  9.
