SSIS: Workaround to two errors for no apparent reason when we insert data in MySql

 

For whatever reason we may have to develop a Microsoft Integration Services package we move data from any source to a table that is in a MySQL database.

 

The first aim will do so through an ADO.NET Destination and MySQL provider for the connection. If we do well to insert the data directly, to create the target, select the connection and then select the table appears an error like the following check everything with the preview or try and do the assignments.

 

 

 

This error is due to the compatibility mode of ansi sql mysql database where we try to load the data. To solve this we must connect to MySQL server and change the compatibility of ansi sql database *:

 

TOCA:~# mysql -u root -p

Enter password:

Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.

Your MySQL connection id is 77

Server version: 5.0.51a-24+lenny3-log (Debian)

 

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

 

mysql> select @@global.sql_mode;

+-------------------+

| @@global.sql_mode |

+-------------------+

| |

+-------------------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

 

mysql> set global sql_mode='ANSI';

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

 

mysql> select @@global.sql_mode;

+-------------------------------------------------------------+

| @@global.sql_mode |

+-------------------------------------------------------------+

| REAL_AS_FLOAT,PIPES_AS_CONCAT,ANSI_QUOTES,IGNORE_SPACE,ANSI |

+-------------------------------------------------------------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

 

mysql> exit

 

If we can retest and get a preview of the table or edit the mappings between columns, but we find another error when running the package:

 

[ADO NET Destination [843]] Error: Exception when inserting data.  The provider returned message is: Unknown column 'p1' in 'field list' "

The driver has a problem and not let us work well with parameters (which is how they built the insertions of records in the destination) so we have to do another workaround to solve this problem working with ADO.NET Destination on arrival but with a ODBC source in the connection. This joined the issue of modifying the destination sql_mode MySQL allow us to load properly.

 

 

 

 

 

* Please note that the support we can change globally and in the instance or session level only (by which we should add a command execution in the first instance to modify the value of @ @ SESSION.sql_mode). Más info aquí. More info here.
