importing muti-value field into sql server 2005

  • I am trying to import data from a D3 database into sql server 2005. Some of the tables are giving me errors like:

    Cannot get the current row value of column "[FACTSDEV]...[EECOV].DEPT_EFF_DATE" from OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "FACTSDEV". Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the data type used by the provider.

    DEPT_EFF_DATE is a muti-value date field.

    How do I get this data into SQL Server?

    thanks

    i love it!

  • Until a 'D3' expert comes along, my only suggestion would be to export the data from the source to a delimited file and bulk load that into SQL Server. My hope is that the multi-valued fields could be split into separate fields and loaded directly. If not, you could use an SSIS package to transform the raw file into something SQL Server could load.

    Ok so that probably doesn't help you much, but the thread had no replies, and I felt sorry for it.
