Using a sample file: In this approach, you can use a sample file to create the flat file schema. Here, you can use the automated wizards to create the structure of the schema and reduce the time involved in schema creation. To use this approach, see Creating a Flat File Schema From a Sample File.

Creating manually: In this approach, you can create an empty flat file schema and then add the elements or properties manually. To use this approach, see Creating a Flat File Schema Manually.
