We have the plain Microsoft SQL Server 2008 on one of our servers
We decided to create DTSX files on the filesystem so that we can use BIDS 2008 to open the DTSX files
One SSIS Control Flow Components that takes data from around 18-19 columns from a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 SQL select query, and then converts the values in order to place them in the Microsoft Access table. I have a number of columns that I retrieve from Microsoft SQL Server 2008 table using a DataFlow Component called OLE DB Source. After retrieving the data, I have a Data Converter data Flow Component that converts the values. Finally, the converted values are placed by an OLE DB Destination data Flow Component, and placed in a Microsoft Access table.
For one of the columns from a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 , the data type is varchar(5)
The value in the above varchar(5) column needs to be extracted from Microsoft SQL Server 2008 using a SSIS DataFlow Component called OLE DB Source as a string [DT_STR] Data Type It needs to converted using the Data Converter SSIS data Flow Component Finally, it needs to placed in the Microsoft Access table to a column of the data type called Text.
What should the converted data type of the corresponding column within the Data Converter SSIS Data Flow Component be?
