Avoiding SSIS query timeouts

90 words.

Just so I have a record of this: In SSIS, I was trying to pull data from a SQL Server database with a complex, slow SELECT query (written by someone else) which took a good 15 minutes to run. I was using a DataReader source, and it would always timeout after about 30 seconds if no rows came back in that time, and I couldn’t find any way to change the timeout. Finally I switched to an OLE DB source with the same query, and it didn’t timeout any more.
