The source flat file is read using UTF-8
I am trying to follow the below article and load the UTF-8 data but I have issues with it
https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3119/import-utf8-unicode-special-characters-with-sql-server-integration-services/
I want to know if
1. If all the target table datatypes have to be nvarchar (unicode) ?
2.Can I have some columns as Varchars in target table ? If so how do I ensure they are loaded in a table which has combination of unicode and non-unicode data?
3.I tend to get codepage errors when I am building mapping in the ssis package?
I have a following flow
a.Read data using flat file source configured to pick file as utf-8
b.Use a data conversion transformation to transfer non-unicode to unicode
c.Use oledb destination to load data in sql server table.
