After doing an insert, I am using a System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader to fetch the identity of the inserted row with the following code:
dbCommand.CommandText = "SELECT @@IDENTITY As LogID SET NOCOUNT OFF"Dim dataReader As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader = dbCommand.ExecuteReaderdataReader.ReaddataReader.GetInt32(0)dataReader.CloseThe problem is that I'm getting an invalid cast exception. If I use dataReader.GetDataTypeName(0), it tells me that value is a decimal? This is odd because the identity column in the SQL table is an int (size: 4). When I use very similar code for another database on the same server, it works .Anybody have any ideas?
Hi,I have an sqlCommand return the ID from the last inserted row. I use SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY within the SQL.When I call the function it returns a Decimal instead of an integer??So I want to convert this to an integer, however this is not liked by the compiler since the overloaded method for the decimal conversion is obviously a decimal, but the ExecuteScalar parameter is of type object.iReturnVal = decimal.ToInt32(_sqlCommand.ExecuteScalar()); <--- compiler complains....So I changed to this:iReturnValue = decimal.ToInt32((decimal)_sqlCommand.ExecuteScalar());Can someone tell me if this is the right way to do it? Seems messy code to me...
I am working with a legacy SQL server database from SQL Server 2000. I noticed that in some places that they use decimal data types, that I would normally think they should be using integer data types. Why is this does anyone know?
Example: AutomobileTypeId (PK, decimal(10,0), not null)
I am creating a table on SQL Server. One of the columns in this new table contains whole integer as wells as decimal values (i.e. 4500 0.9876). I currently have this column defined as Decimal(12,4). This adds 4 digits after the decimal point to the whole integers. Is there a data type that will have the decimal point only for decimal values and no decimal point for the whole integers?
I would like to cast (convert) data type decimal(24,4) to decimal(21,4). I could not do this using standard casting function CAST(@variable as decimal(21,4)) or CONVERT(decimal(21,4),@variable) because of the following error: "Arithmetic overflow error converting numeric to data type numeric." Is that because of possible loss of the value?
I wanted to convert a dataset from vb.net (2.0) to an .XLS file, by MS Jet. My national standard is using decimal commas, not decimal points for numbers signing the beginning of decimal places. But the MS Jet Engine uses decimal point,in default. Therefore, in the Excel file only string formatted cells can welcome this data, not number formatted. How can I solve or get around this problem? (with jet if it possible) iviczl
I'd like to convert a Decimal value into a string so that the entireoriginal value and length remains intact but there is no decimal point.For example, the decimal value 6.250 is selected as 06250.Can this be done?
I am designing some reports for a German branch of my company and need to replace decimal point with a comma and the thousand comma seperator with a decimal point.
e.g. ‚¬1,500,123.00 to ‚¬1.500.123,00
Is there a property that I can change in the report designer to allow this to happen or is this something I need to convert in a Stored Proc.
I am having a file in which amount fields are given in a Packed Decimal format. Can anyone suggest me how I can read this data element from the file and convert it into SQL decimal datatype.
File is a fixed length. All the amount fields are given in Packed Decimal Format and rest of the fields are given in text format. How can i identify and convert only those packed decimals using SQL/.Net.
Example : a row in a file that has some packed decimals 158203508540188236252EUR20BZK0030 Å“& 20060715 0001010100010101

While I have learned a lot from this thread I am still basically confused about the issues involved.
.I wanted to INSERT a record in a parent table, get the Identity back and use it in a child table. Seems simple.
To my knowledge, mine would be the only process running that would update these tables. I was told that there is no guarantee, because the OLEDB provider could write the second destination row before the first, that the proper parent-child relationship would be generated as expected. It was recommended that I create my own variable in memory to hold the Identity value and use that in my SSIS package.
1. A simple example SSIS .dts example illustrating the approach of using a variable for identity would be helpful.
2. Suppose I actually had two processes updating these tables, running at the same time. Then it seems the "variable" method will also have its problems. Is there a final solution other than locking the tables involved prior to updating them or doing something crazy like using a GUID for the primary key!
3. We have done the type of parent-child inserts I originally described from t-sql for years without any apparent problems. (Maybe we were just lucky.) Is the entire issue simply a t-sql one or does SSIS add a layer of complexity beyond t-sql that needs to be addressed?
I want to insert a new record into a table with an Identity field and return the new Identify field value back to the data stream (for later insertion as a foreign key in another table).
What is the most direct way to do this in SSIS?
TIA,
barkingdog
P.S. Or should I pass the identity value back in a variable and not make it part of the data stream?
I have table of three column first column is an ID column. However at creation of the table i have not set this column to auto increment. Then i have copied 50 rows in another table to this table then set the ID column values to zero.
Now I have changed the ID column to auto increment seed=1 increment=1 but the problem is i couldn't figure out how to update this ID column with zero value set to each row with this auto increment values so the ID column would have values from 1-50. Is there a away to do this?
Ok,I just need to know how to get the last record inserted by the highestIDENTITY number. Even if the computer was rebooted and it was twoweeks ago. (Does not have to do with the session).Any help is appreciated.Thanks,Trint
Hi, I am having problem in bulk update of a sql server table haning identity column from a datatable( has no identity column) using sqlbulkcopy. I tried several approaches, but it does not show any error nor is the table getting updated. But the identity value seems to getting increased every time. thanks. varun
I'm working with a third-party database (SQL Server 2005) and the problem here is the following:
- There are a bunch of ETL processes that needs to insert rows on a table (let's call this table T) and at the same time, an ERP (owner of T) is up and running (reading, updating and inserting on T).
- The PK of T is an Integer.
Today all ETL processes uses (select max(ID) + 1 from T) to insert new rows, so just picture the scenario. It is a mess! Everyday they get duplicate key error when 2 or more concurrent processes are trying to insert a row (with the max) at the same time.
Considering that I can't change the PK, what is the best approach to solve this problem?
To sum up:
* I need to have processes in parallel inserting on T
Anybody noticed that SQL Server rounds up if the value is half waybetween two rounded values, but C#'s Decimal.Round(Decimal,Int32)rounds to nearest even number?[color=blue]>From MSDN: "When d is exactly halfway between two rounded values, the[/color]result is the rounded value that has an even digit in the far rightdecimal position. For example, when rounded to two decimals, the value2.345 becomes 2.34 and the value 2.355 becomes 2.36. This process isknown as rounding toward even, or rounding to nearest."I perform the same calculation sometimes on the web server in C# andsometimes at the database in T-SQL, but want to get the same resultfrom both calculations. Could anybody offer any strategies for dealingwith this?Thanks ~ Matt

I have a stored procedure with an output bit variable. When I set this variable to 0, I get an output of 0. When I set this variable to 1, I get an output of -1. What is going on?
The following query returns 0 when executing in Query Analyzer:SELECT isnull(Count(*),0) as total FROM SplitDetail WHERE SiteCode = 14 AND ProjectID = 4367Yet ExecuteScalar() in vb.net return a -1.
I have an sp (attached below) that returns records as desired when run in the query analyzer, but when run from within my adp I get only a "the sp ran successfully but did not return any records" message box. I would like to use it as a record source for a report, and when I try to do that I get a message box saying that the "Provider command for child rowset does not produce a rowset".
To repeat, the sp runs fine in QA, just not in access.
Any thoughts, anybody? Many thanks. David

could any one tell how to go about keeping carriage returns and line breaks when inserting a chunk of text so that when that text is recieved it will still contain those carriage returns and line breaks?
When I was using a simple query using select statement with where clauses, I can get the results. When I use AND to specify more conditions. It returns no row even though I get the result when query seperately. What should be the possible cause of this. I am using SQL Server 6.5. Thank you
I have a problem where my subquery is returning two values and I need it to return only one. I believe it is doing this because of the group by DocType clause as there are two DocTypes.
Is there anyway I can sum these values in the subquery, to return only one value. This way the query should run ok.
Thanks for any help you might be able to give,

However, I'm finding that if I use a variation of this (see below)
--all photogs spending money on products in April, 2008 ordered by total SELECT PhotogCode, SUM(ProductRevenue) FROM TBL_Reporting_DailySalesRevenueAndProductUseBy_Photog WHERE DATEPART(MM, [Date]) = 4 AND DATEPART(YY, [Date]) = 2008 GROUP BY PhotogCode ORDER BY SUM(ProductRevenue) DESC
and I look at the returned rows, I'm discovering that there are an additional 12 customers who have spent $500 or more...is there something I'm missing with the query using HAVING?
I havethe following query which returns one row of data, however, the MedicalcodeID is NULL.
SELECT db1.dbo.Referral.ReferralGuidDigest, dbo.patient.PatientID, dbo.Consultation.ConsultationID, dbo.Staff.StaffID, db1.dbo.Referral.EffectiveDateTime AS EventDate, db1.dbo.Referral.Status AS ReferralStatus, db1.dbo.Referral.Mode AS ReferralMode, db1.dbo.Referral.ServiceType, db1.dbo.Referral.Urgency, db1.dbo.Referral.Direction, db1.dbo.Referral.Transport, db1.dbo.Referral.EndedDate, db1.dbo.Referral.ReceivedDate, dbo.lkupMedical.MedicalCodeID, db1.dbo.Referral.Term,
[code]...
It is clear from teh above - that the expected MedicalCodeID = 33959 and NOT NULL. I dont understand why SQL added the COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS to the query - am working on a database developed by another person. Could it be the ACode and ReadCode in dbo.lkupMedical is not set up with SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS. How to implement to LkupMedical table....
I changed HIGHLIGHTED JOIN to Inner/Right but it never yielded any results, no record found..
