Failed to retrieve long data for column

Hi,

We have a SSIS project where we load lot of image files using an OLE DB Source component and put it across the database as varbinary into OLEDB Destination component.

Things were fine until now where am getting an error like this. alongside the log also reads like,

There is not enough space on the disk. Long data was retrieved and can't be added to the data flow task buffer.

SSIS Error Code: DTS_E_InducedTransformFailureOnError.

Is this method of loading the files using an OleDb Souce not the efficient one ? If not is there a way I can get this done. Comments are highly appreciated!!

Thanks in Advance

Have you check to see if you are running out of physical disk space?

Unless you have a directory specified in the BLOBTempStoragePath property of the data flow, the default location will be the directory specified by the TEMP environment variable.

Make sure that the directory listed by either of those isn't running out of disk space. If so, then set BLOBTempStoragePath to a directory containing more disk space.|||

Hi Phil,

Thanks for the valuable inputs,Is it ok if I just point a Directory in a Physical drive that has enough disk space is it? What purpose does this BlobStorage Serve ?

The BLOB storage path is used to hold the contents of a varbinary field if it cannot fit into memory.

So point that parameter to a directory that contains enough disk space and try it again.|||Thanks Phil.. It worked |||I got the same message. Failed to retrieve long data for column I was running an ssis job to import tables from an access database to sql2000 so we could change the back end to sql. I had everything working ok. Then I had to change the source connection from the dev access back end to the production access back end so i could get the latest data. One field in one of 83 tables kept blowing up. It was an Ntext field. I tried everything in these posts to no avial. Finally I noticed that the size of the production mdb was 3x the size of my dev mdb. So, I compacted the production mdb and reran the ssis package. It worked like a charm. Hope this may help someone else out there.
