Oracle OLEDB drivers problem with Numbers

Hi All:

I am using oracle oledb drivers to write to a oledb destination.

if i give decimal values to decimal fields in the source table, i get the same in destination. But if the input is integers, in some cases, the value in the destination is different from that of source

Source Target

50 50.00
100 0.000
111 111.000
600 0.0000
520 20.00
178 178
4546.50 4546.50

I have Sql server SP2 9.0.3042 installed on my machine. Please let me know if theres something i am missing out.

Thanks,

Vipul

There is no such thing as an integer in Oracle. It's a NUMERIC(p,0) field. That is, it has no scale. SSIS doesn't support this at the moment. Instead, write your query such that you convert the "integer" field into a NUMERIC(p+1,1) field, or something like that. Then map to a decimal field in SSIS. From there, if you want integers out of the data, use a derived column to cast the values to integers.|||

Let me put it this way phil. Have you come across decimal data being changed from source to target without any transforms in between ? I was not correct in putting the question but the cause of my concern is that if the source has 500 how the target is getting it as 0.

Is there some problem in SSIS for this or this is oracle oledb driver problem?

|||Have you looked at the data with a data viewer to see what is contained there? You might need to recreate the OLE DB source.|||

ya i have viewed data with the data viewer before the oledb destination. Data is fine till data viewer. Theres something happening in oledb destination and thats why i suspect the drivers.

Also, the same behaviour is not happening on one of my other machine. The machine confguration of both the machine are same. I am executing the same pacakge from both the machines.

The version of software on both mahcine are:

-

SQL Server sp2 9.0.3042

Oracle 10g

Let me know your thoughts on this..

|||Is your destination SQL Server?

Have you looked at the advanced properties of the OLE DB Destination to ensure that the data types for all of the columns are correct?|||

Destination is Oracle.

And i have checked all the datatypes as per ur suggestion but still the problem exists.

|||I'm going to have to bow out as I don't have an Oracle instance to test with.
