data type conversion

  • hi guys

    i am using ssis.in that my source is OLEDB source and destination is integer i have to convert it.is it possible to convert data type using data conversion.for my knowledge in data conversion chaged data type column created add another column.but i want change same column.

    example:my source column is primary key(string)

    my destination column is primary key(integer)

    dont want in destination like this pirmary key(string) primary key1(integer)

    and what is the main use of data converstion transforamtion

  • No. SSIS does not allow for meta data changes at runtime. i.e. you cannot to inplace conversions like that.

    You must get the source to do it. It is faster, better, cheaper on memory and resources than getting SSIS to do it.

  • how do we get the source to do it?:unsure:

  • Change your source from a table or view to a query and perform a CAST there ...

  • Thanks for the information. but i'm creating a package programmatically. Before mapping the source tom destination columns i need to cast appropriate columns. I've posted my problem in this site.

    I don't see why that precludes the use of a query for the source, but I guess you have your reasons.
