I’m trying to find the best way to load a source table from MySQL

  • 0

I’m trying to find the best way to load a source table from MySQL (with the following column definition: text CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL) into SQL SERVER using SSIS.
SSIS automatically recommend “Image” data type. However it doesn’t suit.
Furthermore, in the “preview” dialog i get this data: “System.Byte[]”.
What’s the best way to convert this column in to something more usable utilizing only SQL and MySQL transformations?

    Convert to UTF-16 on MySQL. SQL Server NCHAR is UTF-16 so that should work straight away.
