I have a SSIS package that includes a conversion step to convert an NTEXT column from a SQL Server database table to TEXT for inserting into another table. It runs successfully on my laptop (Windows 7) but fails on the server (Windows Server 2008 / SQL Server 2008 R2). I'm getting this error:
Description: Data conversion failed while converting column "Description" (9492) to column "Copy of Description" (9748). The conversion returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
Why would this succeed when run from my laptop but fail when run on the server?
How can I fix this issue?
