XML file to Import into a table column

    I currently have an xml file that I import into multiple tables using the xml source. That is working fine. I need to also store the actual xml itself in a column in another table. What is the best way to import the xml data into a column. It doesn't need to be stored as xml I just need to be able to refer back to it in case I run into a problem in the future.

    I have tried multiple ways using data flow tasks to import the data but I get over flow errors since I can't seem to choose varchar(max) as the source data type. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Use the standard Import Column transformation.
