Convert yymmdd to datetime using ssis derived column

Below are the strings representing date of birth (yymmdd). I want to convert it into datetime format and load into a database using ssis. How can I do it? In my derived column I have (DT_DATE)(SUBSTRING([Drv DOB],1,2) + "-" + SUBSTRING([Drv DOB],3,2) + "-" + SUBSTRING([Drv DOB],5,2)), but it's not working.

I GET THESE ERRORS:

  1. [Derived Column [2]] Error: An error occurred while attempting to perform a type cast.
  2. [Derived Column [2]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR. The "Derived Column" failed because error code 0xC0049064 occurred, and the error row disposition on "Derived Column.Inputs[Derived Column Input].Columns[Drv DOB]" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.

Solution

  • YEAR have 4 digits not 2, so it would be:

    (DT_DATE)("20" + SUBSTRING([Drv DOB],1,2) + "-" + 
                 SUBSTRING([Drv DOB],3,2) + "-" + 
                 SUBSTRING([Drv DOB],5,2))
