My source data indeed has leading 0s and I am reading my data into a #Temp Table with the data type of VARCHAR(10)...and its value is "0002565387". I am pumping this data into a SQL Server Table utilizing "OLE DB Destination". My "Flat File Connection Manager" has this column [AdditionalInfo4] defined as string [DT_STR] and the OutputColumnWidth is 100. I don't do any data derivation against this particular data column and simply map it in my "OLE DB Destination" and my database column is defined as [AdditionalInfo4] with a data type of VARCHAR(100). Upon successful data pump of the data into my SQL Server Table, the column appears in SQL Server as "2565387".
Why is my SSIS solutuion truncating the leading 0s, which are indeed significant, on the data pump of data into my SQL Server Table? Is this possibly just a nuance of SSIS? Should I define a data column derivation for this data column so that the leading 0s are retained?
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.
