HI @XchangeVisions ,
In your case, when you specify column mapping, data types of source and sink are mismatched. Please check Data type mapping for SQL server.
Your source data type is string which is mapped to uniqueidentifier in sql database, which needs GUID type in azure data factory.
So,please configure sql server stored procedure in your sql server sink as a workaround.
Please follow the steps from this doc:
Step 1: Configure your Sink dataset:
Step 2: Configure Sink section in copy activity as follows:
Step 3: In your database, define the table type with the same name as sqlWriterTableType. Notice that the schema of the table type should be same as the schema returned by your input data.
CREATE TYPE [dbo].[CsvType] AS TABLE(
[ID] [varchar](256) NOT NULL
)
Step 4: In your database, define the stored procedure with the same name as SqlWriterStoredProcedureName. It handles input data from your specified source, and merge into the output table. Notice that the parameter name of the stored procedure should be the same as the "tableName" defined in dataset.
Create PROCEDURE convertCsv @ctest [dbo].[CsvType] READONLY
AS
BEGIN
MERGE [dbo].[adf] AS target
USING @ctest AS source
ON (1=1)
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
INSERT (id)
VALUES (convert(uniqueidentifier,source.ID));
END
Output:
Hope it helps.
