SSIS with ODBC source - Inconsistent Metadata & No Columns

  • hi

    i'm an utter newbie to SSIS (as you can see postcount=1!) but have a background in Access

    i'm trying to set up a Data Flow in SSIS to pull data from Oracle to a table on my server...

    using a DataReader source component is proving fiddly...

    i have set up a connection in connection manager which tests ok (and previously i set up an Execute SQL item that connected and the query parsed ok)

    i have set up the DataReader source and used my connection, but it steadfastly refuses to give me columns when i link it to a target and it always says "inconsistent metadata" (whatever that means??)

    any suggestions would be more than welcome, i've been stuck for half a day now

    :crying:

  • Why are you using a datareader source? I'd recommend using the oledb source.

  • aaah, have just got it to work with OLE after someone from IT laughed at all my work and told me how to do it

    thanks 🙂
