Copy Job (Preview) On-Prem SQL Server Error: 'FORMAT' is not a recognized built-in function name.
Hello,
I was trying out the Copy Job (Preview) item as what it is meant to be will be very useful for me. I attempted to pull data from a SQL Server running an older version. I was greeted with this error:
Failure happened on 'Source' side.
ErrorCode=SqlOperationFailed,'Type=Microsoft.DataTransfer.Common.Shared.HybridDeliveryException,Message=A database operation failed with the following error: ''FORMAT' is not a recognized built-in function name.',Source=,''Type=System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException,Message='FORMAT' is not a recognized built-in function name.,Source=.Net SqlClient Data Provider,SqlErrorNumber=195,Class=15,ErrorCode=-2146232060,State=10,Errors=[{Class=15,Number=195,State=10,Message='FORMAT' is not a recognized built-in function name.,},],'
According to this article, the 'FORMAT' function was introduced in SQL Server 2012. My server is running a version prior to that. Is there anyway to work around this to allow the Copy Job to work?
Thanks,
Jacob
