Warning when I ad an Oracle OLE DB Connection

  • I get a warning as soon as I add an Oracle OLE DB Connection.

    Cannot retrieve the column code page info from the OLE DB Provider If the component supports the "DefaultCodePage" property

    Warning at {7A689B65-AC**-4BC2-93AA-12FADCF1E696} [OLE DB Source [45]]: Cannot retrieve the column code page info from the OLE DB provider. If the component supports the "DefaultCodePage" property, the code page from that property will be used. Change the value of the property if the current string code page values are incorrect. If the component does not support the property, the code page from the component's locale ID will be used.

    Does anyone know what this is about?

  • I realize what the warning is about.

    It is the default code page property for the OLE DB Source which is Oracle which is set to 1252.

    There is another property "AlwaysUseDefaultPageCode".

    You change the value from False to True and you no longer get a warning.

    Thanks for posting the solution 🙂
