Greetings SSIS friends,
I cast one of my fields from a decimal to an int in my data source (generated from a SQL command). But when I try and map that field to another one of my tables, i get an error saying that I can not cvonvert from decimal to Int32.
Is there any solution which doest require using the derived column or data conversion components?!
Your help would be appreciated.
Can you provide your SQL so that we can look at it? If you are casting to an integer from a decimal in the SQL, SSIS should only see an integer...|||
Hi Phil,
That's what I don't understand.
The SQL is pretty straightforward to be honest.
select
distinct
b.eventid as evt_eventid,
b.meetid as evt_meetid,
cast(h.longname as varchar) as evt_long_name,
cast(h.shortname as varchar) as evt_source_short_name,
b.expstartdate as evt_expstartdate,
b.expstarttime as evt_expstarttime,
b.eventnumber as evt_eventnumber,
b.expertgroup as evt_expertgroup,
b.currentrun as evt_currentrun,
b.enddate as evt_enddate,
b.endtime as evt_endtime,
b.eventstatus as evt_eventstatus,
f.etypeid evt_etypeid,
cast(g.longname as varchar) as evt_type_long_name,
cast(h.longname as varchar) as evt_name,
b.maxplaces as evt_maxplaces,
b.maxpayout as evt_specific_maxpayout,
f.maxpayout as evt_default_type_maxpayout,
b.offdate as evt_offdate,
b.offtime as evt_offtime,
cast(b.callitap as char(1)) as evt_callitap,
cast(isnull(b.maxstake, 0) as int) as evt_maxstake,
b.scoop6leg as evt_scoop6leg,
b.riskoff as evt_riskoff,
b.userofftime as evt_userofftime,
b.delayofftime as evt_delayofftime,
cast(b.suspendliability as int) as evt_suspendliability,
b.termsid as evt_specific_termsid,
i.termsid as evt_default_termsid,
cast(j.longname as varchar) as evt_default_terms,
cast(l.longname as varchar) as specific_evt_terms,
convert(varchar(20), convert(bigint, b.updatetimestamp)) as evt_updatetimestamp
from meetings as a
inner join events as b
on a.meetid = b.meetid
inner join names as c
on a.nameid = c.nameid
inner join EvenType as d
on a.etypeid = d.etypeid
inner join names as e
on d.nameid = e.nameid
inner join EvenType as f
on b.etypeid = f.etypeid
inner join names as g
on f.nameid = g.nameid
inner join names as h
on b.nameid = h.nameid
inner join terms as i
on f.termsid = i.termsid
inner join names as j
on i.nameid = j.nameid
left join terms as k
on b.termsid = k.termsid
left join names as l
on k.nameid = l.nameid
where
convert(varchar(20), convert(bigint, a.updatetimestamp)) > ?
or convert(varchar(20), convert(bigint, b.updatetimestamp)) > ?
order by b.meetid, b.eventid
In SSIS however, it still thinks the column is a decimal.
|||Did you previously have the decimal coming into the source and then later changed the SQL to cast it to an integer?
In the source column mappings, delete the row that corresponds to the column you are working with, and re-map it. Does that help?|||
Hi Phil,
Yes you are right. I unmapped the column and then remaped it and reconfigured my other merge joins and it is now in the data type that I cast it in the SQL code.
Thanks for your help.
