Automatically cast to destination type ?

  • Is there a way to cast an input data automatically to the destination column type ?

  • You can do a derived column that performs the conversion.

    Okay. So, it there a set of scripts that can convert data from one data type to another ?

  • Use the Derived Column Transformation (as mentioned earlier in the thread).

    Won't work in my case. Its a pretty complicated situation. The derived column itself would have to be generated dynamically and then mapped to a dynamically generated destination column !!! I gave up on that one. Using another approach now.
