DateTime conversion in SSIS

Question

DD MMM YYYY hh:mm:ss.sss -> 01 DEC 2012 00:00:34.381

I want the above to be converted from flat file to DateTime in MSSQL using SSIS. What options do I have for this, I keep getting errors when I use the standard DT_DATE?

Answer 1

Read about conversion of data types here ("Converting Between Strings and Date/Time Data Types"). It has a chart that shows what format your date needs to be in. Use string functions to make your date match one of these, then convert to the data type you want.
