I've inherited some SSIS code, and not having some trouble modifying a data conversion task.
Here are the original conversion statements. These columns are actually in MySQL - which I have never worked with in the past. Currently, they're being converted to what I thought were strings, but when trying to join the data columns to other data columns in a Lookup task, I get an error saying they're BLOB's.
REPLACE(LEFT((DT_WSTR,50)processdate_date,19),"T"," ")
REPLACE(LEFT((DT_WSTR,50)receiveddate,19),"T"," ")
I need to actually convert these into dates - with no time. I tried replacing DT_WSTR with DT_DATE, but that didn't work.
If someone could provide some insight into what I may be missing, that would be great!
Thanks!!
