Avoiding "Row by row" fetch method when dealing with source LOB columns

I used Data Conversion for the varchar larger than 128 as NTEXT but what removed the error for me eventually is the set Validate External Data to False.

Apparently this just boils down to SSIS treating any varchar larger than 128 as NTEXT. Not sure why. I can, however, go into the advanced properties of the ODBC source and change the types back to something like DT_WSTR. Which seems to work for the most part.

However, I did determine that a few of the tables I'm dealing with actually are carrying upwards of 4000 bytes in some of the their TEXT columns, so I unfortunately have to leave those colums as DT_NTEXT to prevent truncation (SSIS won't let you set a DT_WSTR type with more than 4000 bytes). I suppose in these instances, I'm just stuck with row-by-row fetch, but at least I was able to fix a few tables.
