An error occurred while setting up a binding for the column
Hello Guys!
I just wanted to do this quick blog post to give you a tip about a recent problem that I had in a SSIS Project. My scenario is the following.
Source Database Server: PostgreSQL
Target Database Server: SQL Server 2016
As you can see, I need to extract data from this PostgreSQL database and import in SQL Server. So far everything is working, but today I got this error of in one particular table: [OLE DB Destination [25]] Error: An error occurred while setting up a binding for the “MyColumnName” column. The binding status was “DT_NTEXT”. The data flow column type is “DBBINDSTATUS_UNSUPPORTEDCONVERSION”. The conversion from the OLE DB type of “DBTYPE_IUNKNOWN” to the destination column type of “DBTYPE_WVARCHAR” might not be supported by this provider.
From what I understood it says this Data Type that the OLE DB Provider tried to convert from the source data is not supported and it resulted in a Unknown data type, which is not supported by the provier. So, how to deal with this problem?
Basically, what I did was creating an intermediate data converstion step as you can see in the below screen.
And for the necessary column, I have converted to a known data type that the OLE DB Provider will understand, which in this case is a DT_WSTR (NVARCHAR)
This fixed my error and I was able to execute the data flow task.
If you liked or not, give your feedback in the comments.
