In this example, you see the following things.

  • The PersonID column in the source SQL Server table is of type int. The wizard maps this type to the SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) DT_I4 data type, which is a four-byte signed integer, by referring to the data type mapping file MSSQLToSSIS10.xml.
  • The PersonID column in the destination SQL Server table is also of type int. The wizard maps this type to the same SSIS data type.
  • The wizard concludes, This column does not need conversion.
