SSIS SQL Task – “Parameter name is unrecognized”

Question

The answer to this is to change the Parameter Name value in the Parameter Mapping screen.

Given the following query

SELECT Id, AnimalName FROM dbo.Farm WHERE Farm_id = ?

Assuming my Parameter is an integer Variable named User::Farm_id
Choose the following values on the Parameter Mapping Screen

Variable Name  -   User::Farm_id
Direction      -   Input
Data Type      -   LONG
Parameter Name -   0
Parameter Size -   -1

Originally the Parameter Name will be “NewParameterName”. Simply change this to the ordinal position of your variable marker (“?”)
