I had an issue recently and I'd like to solicit feedback as to whether this is an SSIS flaw:
In the lookup component, when you select the Partial or No Cache option, a property in addition to the sqlcommand property becomes available called sqlcommandparam. Originally this package was developed using Lookups pointing to a dimension on "schema_A"
and we wanted to change the reference to "schema_B". Now, obviously the sqlcommandparam property became available because you can elect to use the Advanced SQL option in the component. However, I never chose to do that. So, long story short, I go into
this package to change the schema reference in the Lookup's query. It changes the sqlcommand property value to be "select value from schema_B.table" but it didn't change the corresponding value in the sqlcommandparam property. That property remained "select
value from schema_A.table". SSIS never threw an error to say the schema's didn't match. And the Lookup worked as designed, picking up values from the table on schema_B. Not until we finally decommisioned schema_A did I get an error at runtime that said "Table
or view does not exist".
So, can anyone (hopefully Microsoft) confirm that this is in fact a flaw? I am on MSFT VS 2008 V 9.0.30729.1 SP.
