I know that anything in a CDATA section will be ignored by an XML parser. Does that hold true for the SSIS XML Source?

I am trying to import a large quantity of movie information and all of the reviews, synopsis, etc are contained in CDATA. example:

<synopsis size="100"><![CDATA[Four vignettes feature thugs in a pool hall, a tormented ex-con, a cop and a gangster.]]></synopsis>

Sounds like a good one, no?

The record gets inserted into the database however it contains a NULL in the field for the synopsis text. I would imagine that the reason for this would fall at the feet of CDATA's nature and that SSIS is ignoring it.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
