No match in target code page Error. (when inserting into SQL table)
Hi, I'm really hoping that someone can offer some help on this as I this issue is becoming increasingly problematic.
I've created a pretty simple SSIS package that does the following:
1. Uploads a test.csv file to a temp SQL table. (The csv contains text in lots of different languages).
2. Copies the data from the temp table to another table.
Thats pretty much it.
The problem I am having is happening at step 1 (when the csv file is being uploaded).
The errors that I get are all centered around the "Code Page".
Full error:
![ssisError.PNG]()
Now where the error is actually happening.
![ssisCodePage.PNG]()
Conclusion:
I think this is happening because of the muliple languages contained in the CSV but I cannot seem to find the correct code page to use in order to 'CATCH ALL'.
My SQL table fields are all set to varchar(max) so its not a question of length.
Really hoping that someone can help.
I can provide further information is required.
Thanks

"Description: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "Column 27" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".

Set the SQL fields data typeto nvarchar(max). With different languages and character sets you will need unicode compliant datatypes

Hi Lee,
Thanks.
Just noticed my previous comment:
This was a bit of a red herring as the error is gerenerated when the temporary table is created and this is generated on the fly.

Source File..
When you set the data type in the wizard, use DT_WSTR instead of the DT_STR as the former is unicode.

Can I change it retrospectivley?
Yes, you should be able to edit the job again with the wizard and save it. If you save the package to the file system instead of storing in the database, you can manually edit it using the import/export wizard.
On a side note, when editing DTS jobs stored in the filtesystem, despite many server environments being 64bit these days, I still have moree success editing them and getting them to work when running in the 32 bit variety of the import/export application.

Hi Lee,
I think we might be a step closer!
I have changed all the references from "string [DT_STR]" to "Unicode string [DT_WSTR]" as you suggested.
I'm getting a different error.
Here are some screenshots..

Hi,
I have been tinkering again.
I created a new package from scratch as you suggested using the import/export wizard as this is a very simple package in what it does.
1. For the import of the CSV file to the TEMP sql table I used the UNICODE datatype that you suggested..
Is ask's here to select the code page type.. I am leaving it as default as I dont know if it should be something else?

Re-run NEW error:

Could this be a problem with the code page type when the CSV file is being produced? Should it be something else perhaps?

Hi Lee,
Thanks. Your answer gave me the solution.
Thanks very much my friend. I think you may have stopped my hair from falling out!
Thanks. Your answer gave me the solution.
You could create the SQL table yourself in the database and then just import into it. Then as part of the DTS job, truncate the table when done if you intend to reuse it.
Thanks very much my friend. I think you may have stopped my hair from falling out!
Glad to be of help. Often another set of eyes can help lead you to the solution via another path.
