I have a DFT source - sql table containing a column Description with data type nvarchar(max) .
Using a data conversion task to convert to Unicode text stream(dt_ntext)
Am using text stream because converting to Unicode string (dt_wstr) throws error runtime that text was truncated.
select
max(len(Description))from[dbo].[tbl_TableTest]
returns 10,000
Problem is that in the script transformation component
if
(!Row.CopyofDescription_IsNull)
Output0Buffer.Description = Row.CopyofDescription;
throws error Row.CopyofDescription cannot implicitly convert Blobtype to string.
also tried
Output0Buffer.Description = Row.CopyofDescription.AddBlobData(
Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(Row.CopyofDescription);
this also gives error.
In output0BUffer description tried setting to Text stream and also DTWSTR. doesn't work.
kindly advise.
