Geez – found the problem! Let this be a valuable lesson for everyone out there!

The problem turned out to be nothing more than the wrong collation for the fields in the config file on SQL Server.

Try to find that solution in the literature out there!

Is there any possible way to map a variable from your package configuration to your SSIS package?? I’m just trying to open a particular flat file whose folder and file name are stored in my package config. The folder is easy using the Foreach Loop container, but how do you specify the file name that’s stored in my package config? There seems to be no mechanism of just filtering out a file variable without hard-coding it in the package.

Sheway – not sure where you are getting xml.config from? Didn’t mention it in this post so I’m a bit confused.

Richard not quite sure I understand your issue either. If you are pulling data but need to use a parameter as part of your source query there’s no easy way to do it as you would with a execute sql task. I would let the DataReader Source be a variable, in the variable put your SELECT statement. Then at run time use a Scripting task (at the control level, not the data flow level) to alter the value of the variable and add a WHERE to the end of your SELECT with the needed parameters.

Great post! I’ve been trying to move the parts of my packages that require manual editing to config files, but had never considered using this technique to feed parameterized queries (at least those that don’t get values dynamically). This will become a part of my sop going forward.
