问题 I am using SSIS to create some packages. I have gotten confused around the Data Conversion Transformation component and changing columns data types from Advanced editor If I can go into the advanced editor and change the data type of my output, why would I need to input the Data Conversion Transformation? Is this just down to preference or is there a difference between using both approaches? 回答1: Before showing the difference between both approaches, i will try to give an overview of the data

问题 I have a somewhat complex query that I want to use as a source in an SSIS package. I create my OLE DB Source, specify the access mode as SQL, and paste my query in the command textbox. When I click Preview, sample data comes back and everything looks good. However, when I try to run the package I get back "external columns are out of sync with data source columns" and a mess of "external column 'xxx' needs to be removed from the external columns" error messages. Note that in design mode there

问题 I have inherited an existing SSIS package that imports flat file data into my SQL Server 2005 database. I need to change the data type of the "Gross Sales" column from "numeric" to "currency".

I guess there is something "stuck" in some other area that is

问题 A source database field of type INT is read through an OLE DB Source. It is eventually written to a Flat File Destination. The destination Flat File Connection Manager > Advanced page reports it as a four-byte signed integer [DT_I4] . This data type made me think it indicated binary. Clearly, it does not. I was surprised that it was not the more generic numeric [DT_NUMERIC] . I changed this type setting to single-byte signed integer [DT_I1] . I expected this to fail, but it did not. The
