Werid error in SSIS package executing proc

  • Hello,

    I am in the process of migrating a SQL 2005 box to SQL 2012. I have a bunch of SSIS packages (200+) that run off a master package. I am getting a strange error message in one of the procs that is being executed. I have tried debugging a few things but nothing has worked. I have included the error message and the proc below. I have changed the column names to generic names, but I think it self explanatory. I did not write this proc, but I believe the first select is some kind of placeholder. This is very strange indeed.

    Thanks in advance.

    ERROR MESSAGE:

  • After your SET NOCOUNT ON;, include:

    SET FMTONLY OFF;

  • This behaviour (selecting from temp tables) changed in SSIS 2012. Rather than declaring dummy metadata in your proc, you should use the WITH RESULT SETS option when you run the proc to define the structure of the returned data.

    Here's a link that should get you going.

    Thanks for that Phil, I was unaware before.

  • Thanks Phil - So what is the standard? Craigs code seemed to work.

    Mine should execute slightly faster because there's no need for SSIS to go meta-data sniffing through the proc. I also think it's more robust, though perhaps others would disagree.

    But if you have a working solution that you're happy with ...

    I'd recommend going with the new style in 2012+. I haven't had the chance to move up off 08 R2, so the FMTONLY is the standard for 08 and 05, but it's ALWAYS been considered a hack to get the thing working.

    Another vote for going with the 2012 method.
