Import Package Error - Cannot Convert between Unicode and Non Unicode String Data Type

Question

I have made a dtsx package on my computer using SQL Server 2008. It imports data from a semicolon delimited csv file into a table where all of the field types are NVARCHAR MAX.

Answer 1

Resolved - to the original ask:

I've seen this before. Easiest way to fix (don't need all those data conversion steps as ALL of the meta data is available from the source connection):

Delete the OLE DB Source & OLE DB Destinations Make sure Delayed Validation is FALSE (you can set it to True later) Recreate the OLE DB Source with your query, etc. Verify in the Advanced Editor that all of the output data column types are correct Recreate your OLE DB Destination, map, create new table (or remap to existing) and you'll see that SSIS got all the data types correct (same as source).

So much easier that the stuff above.
