I am struggling using SQL Server 2005 and the IMPORT function on Oracle tables, specifically date fields. Invariably, the import seems to blow up with a data overflow. I can get over this by transforming the datetime field into a varchar(20).

1. Is there a correct way that works?

2. What do I use to transform the varchar(20) back into a date?

Thanks
