One of the columns we are pushing data into is of data type text and the .value fuction of the XML node does not support conversion of a node's data to the 'text' data type. For example: CREATE PROCEDURE as MyProcedure @myData xml BEGIN INSERT INTO MyTable (FirstName, LastName, Notes) SELECT MyNode.value('FirstName[1]','varchar(50)'), MyNode.value('LastName[1]','varcha ...Show All

• SQL Server Custom component seems to un-register itself?

  I've run into this a second time now. I'm hoping for some resolution AND guidance for proper build, save, etc. protocols in BIDS. I've coded a custom component, included post-build procedures to add it to the GAC, selected it from the "Choose Items..." menu, and successfully added to a data flow. I've then been able to succesfully debug it. This was all Friday afternoon. I shut down my BIDS session(s) and called it a week. This morning when I open BIDS, I get the following error when I attempt to add it to a data flow task: TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio ------------------------------ The component could not be added to the Data ...Show All
