So the DDT (at present) doesn't automatically perform this conversion for you so you will have to handle this at the moment. At some point I will look to see if we can integrate this...but today...you will have to do it.

X 4/13/2009 1:50:05 PM -> FailedOperationException X 4/13/2009 1:50:05 PM -> Alter failed for Table 'dbo.Inventory'. X 4/13/2009 1:50:05 PM -> ExecutionFailureException X 4/13/2009 1:50:05 PM -> An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. X 4/13/2009 1:50:05 PM -> SqlException X 4/13/2009 1:50:05 PM -> Implicit conversion from data type datetime to int is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query. X 4/13/2009 1:50:05 PM -> X 4/13/2009 1:50:05 PM -> Source : Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo Shouldn't the DDT take care of running whatever command is required to do this type of conversions? or this must be handle via the Pre/Post script?
