Anyone have the document on Column limitations in Datastge.
We have a requirement where we need to load thousands of columns.

Does Ray mean. We can have unlimited columns in all stages.
But the limitation is only on OS and Database Side.

That is true, however the underlying operating system in the engine may impose a limit on the amount of memory that is available and/or on the maximum width of a line in a file, either of which could thwart your evil plan to process 20,000 columns.
