Question

I have created a table named test2 as follows in SQL Server 2008 R2

id || userid || time

tinyint uniqueidentifier time(7)

I have created an .csv file for the same as follows that contains a single row

id || userid || time(7)

1 b64d51a8-852f-40ea-ab4c-080df747214b 00:00:00

Now, i m using SQL import wizard to insert this row into my database table.

On selecting the following mapping(See below) i get this error:

Mapping:

id(tinyint) – > SSIS single byte unsigned int

userid(uniqueidentifier) –> SSIS unique identifier

time(7) —> SSIS database time with precision

can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong in this ? Is there any way to solve this error?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Use Single-byte Unsigned Integer as the source datatype to map into a tinyint destination. A tinyint uses 1 byte of storage and has values which range from 0 to 255, so it is unsigned.
