SSIS, Execute SQL Task and XML recordset

  • I have an SP that generates valid well formed XML. When I try to put the results of the SP into a string or object variable using the Execute SQl Task, I always get an error unless the size of the XML is 496 characters or less.

    Any ideas why?

  • Barry,

    We are encountering the same problem with SQL 2005 SSIS SP-1. The packages worked fine before we installed SP-1. My work-around was to move the packages that contain 4XML execute SQL tasks off our SP-1 box and onto a SP-0 box (with Integration Services installed.)

    The solution to this is probably going to be a hot fix and one of us will need to initiate support with Microsoft, as this is appears to be a SP-1 bug.

  • Thanks for the reply. I moved the package to a Server with no SP and it worked.

  • I've initiated support with Microsoft about this, but the more people that complain, the quicker they'll fix it.

  • I also contacted a Microsoft evangelist and he will forward the problem to the proper support team for action.
