Working with unsupported data types
You can read data from tables containing unsupported data types by using two possible workarounds - first, by creating a view or, secondly, by using a stored procedure.
To use the first workaround, create a view in the SQL Server database that excludes the unsupported column so that only supported data types are available. For more information on views, see MS SQL Server data source views.
To use the second workaround, write your own stored procedure
with the RUN STORED PROCEDURE statement or write
SQL into a SEND-SQL-STATEMENT stored procedure
call that expresses Data Manipulation Language (DML) adequate to
handle the table object without the unsupported types. You can omit
the unsupported data type in your DML statements such that they
are not returned in the result set or are CAST to
data types that are supported. For more information on stored procedures,
see RDBMS Stored Procedure Details.
