Store SQL server varchar max in SSIS string [duplicate]

Answer 1

Use an ADO.NET connection. OLEDB cannot cope with varchar(max).

Answer 2

The problem is SSIS doesn't understand varchar(max) as a data type .You need to specify the limit . CAST the varchar(max) column to varchar(8000) to solve the problem. Or you can store the VARCHAR max into a SSIS object and then get the value using object.ToString();
