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

Not sure if this is still a problem but I found this simple solution:

1. Right-Click Ole DB Source
2. Select 'Edit'
3. Select Input and Output Properties Tab
4. Under "Inputs and Outputs", Expand "Ole DB Source Output" External Columns and Output Columns
5. In Output columns, select offending field, on the right-hand panel ensure Data Type Property matches that of the field in External Columns properties

Hope this was clear and easy to follow
