• SQL Server ODBC Destination in SSIS

  Hi! I have a problem that stops me from using Integration Services as THE ETL tool. My goal is to load a data warehouse type of a database. The database is MaxDB (former SAP DB), but this is not the point. Let's take ANY ODBC compliant DB and assume all I have is ODBC driver - no OLE DB driver.

I tried other "destinations" with no luck. I use this version of SQL Server 2005: (Mi ...Show All
