| Hello everyoneIn the "Data flow" pane of a ssis project inside "Derived column" transformation i want to add an expression to a derived column. This is the expression:"convert(nvarchar,getdate(),112)" and this is the error message i get:"attempt to find the input column name nvarchar failed".The above expression works fine with t-sql but unfotunately fails with SSIS.How can i translate it to ssis ? |

| try this(DT_WSTR)GETDATE()can i ask why you're trying to convert date to varchar? its certainly not a good idea to change datatype like this. |
