Bug #:50003608 (SQL Hotfix)

Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2008 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2008 fix release.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • In Microsoft SQL Server 2008, you use the Microsoft ADO.NET Connection Manager and the Oracle Client data provider to create a new SQL Server 2008 Integration Services (SSIS) package.

  • You add a data flow to the SSIS package.

  • You add an ADO.NET data source to the data flow.

  • You add an SQL command to the package. The SQL command queries a table in an Oracle database.

  • You run the SSIS package.

In this scenario, you may receive an error message that resembles the following:

SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR. The "component "name" (1)" failed because error code 0x80004002 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "column" (103)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.

Cause

This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:

  • A queried field in the Oracle table has the numeric data type.

  • The precision value is not defined for the numeric data type.
