I have two tables with almost the same structure, one in SQL Server 2005 and the other in SQL Server 2016. The only difference is that column ModifiedDate is of type datetime in SQL 2005 and datetimeoffset in SQL 2016.
I used bcp to export the data from SQL 2005 in native format to a file. Then I tried to use bcp to import the data file to SQL 2016. I got error:
[ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server] Invalid field size for datatype
If I removed ModifiedDate column, export/import would run without any errors.
Does anybody know how to solve the problem?
When you export with BCP, instead of doing an OUT export directly for a table, do a QUERYOUT export with a query that converts the DATETIME field to a field with a format that is convertible to DATETIMEOFFSET.

I'm migrating tables and views from Oracle to SQL Server using SSMA. I have a number of tables that have columns with SDO_GEOMETRY datatype, SQL Server does not work with that.
How could I map SDO_GEOMETRY to SQL Server? If it's not possible, then what should be done using SSMA?
And is it possible to work out this issue without editing anything in the Oracle database (just using SSMA or SQL Server)?
Oracle use an internal specific Oracle format of geo data that is non standard... Convert it to WKB or WKT and it should works.

You need to update your SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to the latest version. This problem occurs if you use SSMS v. SQL 2008 for working with SQL server 2014.
