Hi all
I am doing a simple package that loops through a folder and picks up all .csv type files and loads them to an existing table in SQL Express.
I have just started learning about SSIS so I am doing each step individually and I am now stuck when I try to do the Data Flow Task. I get a whole list of error messages telling me that it cannot convert between Unicode and non Unicode data types.
I have tried changing the destination column type, and tried adding a data convert transformation with no avail.
If there is a simple rule I could follow, that would be fantastic!
Many thanks in advance!
