Execute SQL Task Editor (General Page)
Use the General page of the Execute SQL Task Editor dialog box to configure the Execute SQL task and provide the SQL statement that the task runs.
To learn about this task, see Execute SQL Task, Parameters and Return Codes in the Execute SQL Task, and Result Sets in the Execute SQL Task. To learn more about the Transact-SQL query language, see Transact-SQL Reference (Database Engine).
- Name
-
Provide a unique name for the Execute SQL task in the workflow. The name that is provided will be displayed within SSIS Designer.
- Description
-
Describe the Execute SQL task. As a best practice, to make packages self-documenting and easier to maintain, describe the task in terms of its purpose.
- TimeOut
-
Specify the maximum number of seconds the task will run before timing out. A value of 0 indicates an infinite time. The default is 0.
Note
Stored procedures do not time out if they emulate sleep functionality by providing time for connections to be made and transactions to complete that is greater than the number of seconds specified by TimeOut. However, stored procedures that execute queries are always subject to the time restriction specified by TimeOut.
- CodePage
-
Specify the code page to use when translating Unicode values in variables. The default value is the code page of the local computer.
Note
When the Execute SQL task uses an ADO or ODBC connection manager, the CodePage property is not available. If your solution requires the use of a code page, use an OLE DB or an ADO.NET connection manager with the Execute SQL task.
- TypeConversionMode
-
When you set this property to Allowed, the Execute SQL Task will attempt to convert output parameter and query results to the data type of the variable the results are assigned to. This applies to the Single row result set type.
- ResultSet
-
Specify the result type expected by the SQL statement being run. Choose among Single row, Full result set, XML, or None.
- ConnectionType
-
Choose the type of connection manager to use to connect to the data source. Available connection types include OLE DB, ODBC, ADO, ADO.NET and SQLMOBILE.

- Connection
-
Choose the connection from a list of defined connection managers. To create a new connection, select <New connection...>.
- SQLSourceType
-
Select the source type of the SQL statement that the task runs.
Depending on the connection manager type that Execute SQL task uses, you must use specific parameter markers in parameterized SQL statements.
