Implicit conversion is not working, explicit with tConvertType also not. So how can you do it? <BR />I just want a field declared in job as String to store into a database with tMySQLOutput, not as a varchar, but as a TEXT.

I was a victim of a small gui bug. String to text conversion is allowed in schema definition window. But, when typing field length, if this column is too narrow to show a complete number (e.g. 65535) it is being reset back to zero.
