SSIS and Tinyint datatype
I've had a couple of issues recently with using the tinyint datatype in SSIS. In one case I have a Lookup Transform which joins to the incoming data flow path on a column defined as a tinyint in the database. The column metadata in the data flow is DT_I4, a four-byte signed integer. Dragging this across to the tinyint column in the Lookup gives me the following error:
The following columns cannot be mapped: [DataFlowColumn, LookupColumn] One or more columns do not have supported data types, or their data types do not match.
