Data Type Translations

The document provides a chart that maps SSIS data types to equivalent SQL Server data types. It notes that SSIS data types can be confusing when first learning SSIS since they differ from familiar SQL Server data types. The chart lists common SSIS data types like single-byte and multi-byte integers and floats, along with their corresponding SQL Server data type equivalents like tinyint, int, real, and float to help understand the translations.

I have found often when teaching SSIS to others that it can be extremely
confusing when you first encounter SSIS data types. At first glance they
seem to be nothing like SQL Server data types you love and know. That's
why I've provided below a conversion chart of SSIS data types to SQL Server
data types. This information is readily available on MSDN but it always
seems difficult to find. Hope this helps!
