The DATEDIFF(s, time1, time2) function output is of the 'datetime' datatype.
How can I alter the 'datetime' to 'int' (or 'bigint') datatype to make it compatible with other variables in my calculations?
Good afternoon,
I have an issue with an ssis variable datatype.
The scenario is as follows:
I have a stored procedure:
PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_newTransaction]
@sourceSystem varchar(50),
@txOut NUMERIC(18,0) OUTPUT
AS
insert into scn_transaction (sourceSystemName) values(@sourceSystem);
SELECT @txOut = @@identity
Whose purpose is to perform an insert into a table and return me the identity value of the inserted record, which I'll then use throughout the rest of my package. The identity column in the inserted table is numeric(18,0).
I execute the stored proc with the following sql with an OLE DB connection manager:
exec sp_newTransaction ?, ?
The first parameter is a string variable from earlier in the package, and the second is the output parameter. I have the following parameter mappings to the execute sql task:
User:ystxId output numeric 1 -1
User:ourceSys input varchar 0 -1
The proc is correctly called, and the row insesrted, however I get a type conversion error when SSIS attempts to map the return parameter to my package variable... I've tried all sorts of combonations, and can't seem to get it to execute.
At one point I wasn't returning a numeric, but rather an int from the stored proc, and all was well until I went to use the variable in a derived column later in the package, and the type was converted quite incorrectly (a 1 was 77799789080 or some such), indicating a type conversion error likely related to the encoding of the number.
I'd like to keep the datatypes as numeric and make ssis use those - any pointers are greatly appreciated as to what type my package variable should be to allow proper assignment of a sql server numeric type to it.
Thanks much,
B
Within an SSIS Package, we are trying to change the connection string of an output file connection manager at runtime (used for package logging).
To do this, we have defined variables with package-level scope and set the connection manager connection string to this variable. The first step of the package is to set these variables. The second step begins the rest of the package operations (moving data). The package executes successfully, but the log file is never created/appended to.
When the package is debugged, I can verify that the variables are being set correctly in the script task and that the variable values are being passed to the connection manager data sources.
Any ideas why this isn€™t working?
I have image type col.I'm trying to do the following,DECLARE @Data varbinary(16)SET @Data = (select imageCol from Table1 where id=3)As image datatype returns varbinary value, so I want to store image col value to a varbinary variable(or any other type variable, eg., varchar). But getting following error,========================================Server: Msg 279, Level 16, State 3, Line 2The text, ntext, and image data types are invalid in this subquery or aggregate expression.========================================Is there anyway to store image datatype value to a variable?Cheers.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've created a stored procedure that converts an input string in richtext format (input as type TEXT) to plain text. I would like to be able to return this newly converted string, but I need to have some way of storing it in a local variable. My problem is that since I can't use the TEXT datatype as a local variable, I have no way of storing the large amounts of text I converted within the procedure. The VARCHAR(8000) just isn't large enough for my purposes. Anyone have any suggestions on how to go about doing this?

How do i declare a global variable in my package which takes a numeric value like User::VAR1 = 200402 and later on work on it
Later in the properties of the Dataflow i want to have this expression..
"select * from " + "TAB1" + " where Date=" + @[User::VAR1]
Here i want to subtract 190000 from @[User::VAR1] to get it in to myformat i.e the DATE format in the table
I can only see String datatype and othe datatypes wont allow me to to do any kind of manipulation in the expression:
and to be more specific what are
Int16
Int32
Int64
Double
I tried to use all of the above but the expression doesnt allow me as it says:
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio
------------------------------
Nonfatal errors occurred while saving the package:
Error at Extract: The data types "DT_WSTR" and "DT_I8" are incompatible for binary operator "+". The operand types could not be implicitly cast into compatible types for the operation. To perform this operation, one or both operands need to be explicitly cast with a cast operator.
Any help would be appreciated..

Why can varchar datatype variable only 4000 byte?
For example:
in a storedprocedure
declare @aa varchar(8000)
......
while
select @aa=@aa+@otherinfo
end
when the length is more than 4000 ,the data in the behind will be lost
Hello guys!
I am looking for the best DataType that makes it possible to store strings of variable length (from 15 to 300 caracters, rarely longer).
Thanks a lot for any help !

my favorit hoster is ASPnix : www.aspnix.com !
After several hours of trying, I trow the towel in the ring and come here to ask a question.
Source system uses a timestamp column in the transaction tables. which is equal to a non-nullable binary(8) datatype (sql 2000 bol).
What I want to do is get the timestamp at the start of the transfer and at the end of the transfer of data. and store these in a controltable
I try to do this in 2 sql execute tasks:
sqltask 1: "select @@DBTS AS SourceTimestamp" and map the resultset to a variable. Here come's the first problem what variable type to take ?
DBNULL works (meaning it doesn't give errors) (BTW: is there a way to put a variable as a watch when debugging sql tasks ?)
INT64 and UINT64 don't work error message that types for column and parameter are different
STRING works
Then I want to store this variable back in a table of a different data source
sqltask2: "insert into controltable values(getdate(), ?)" and make an input parameter that takes the previous timestamp ...
if I took DBNULL as a type for the variable there doesn't seem to be a single parameter type that works ???
if i take STRING as a type for the variable I have to modify the sql to do the explicit conversion from string to binary so I change CAST(? as binary). It doesn't return any error but the value stored in the table is 0x00000000000 and not the actual timestamp.
Any help on this one ? Why are the INT64/Bigint not working here, you can perfectly do a convert(bigint, timestampfield) in sql ?
How came the SQL datatypes, and the variable datatypes, parameter datatypes are so badly alligned to each other (and all seem to use different names) ?
tx for any help

Hi,
I have a script component that contains a script similar to that shown below;
Public Sub Main()
Dim sqlConn As New SqlConnection("Server=myserver;Database=mydb;Trusted_Connection=True;")
Dim SQLStmt As String
SQLStmt = "select top 10 CountID from mytable"
Dim sqlComm As New SqlCommand(SQLStmt, sqlConn)
sqlConn.Open()
Dim r As SqlDataReader = sqlComm.ExecuteReader()
While r.Read()
Dim MyValue As Integer
If r("CountID") IsNot DBNull.Value Then
MyValue = CInt(r("CountID "))
' HERE I WANT TO WRITE MyValue TO A PACKAGE VARIABLE AS A ROW
End If
End While
r.Close()
sqlConn.Close()
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
End Sub
Once i have a value assigned to MyValue, I want to write this as a row to a variable (DATATYPE Object Value VALUE System.Object) in the package which will be an ADO Recordset Destination that i can then loop through later.
Many thanks for any help

Hi,
I have to read data from an MDB file into SQL Server. Simple, but I need to place a literal into every row. In my OLE DB Source I would use:
SELECT '001' AS col1, foo, bar FROM Table1
But the problem is that I pass my value for col1 into the package from C# using Managed DTS.
So I set up my OLE DB Source using "SQL command from variable." And I have two variables one to receive the value of for col1 (col1) and one that is an evaluated expression that has a dynamic sql statement (dynSql).
col1 is a String as is dynSql. dynSql looks like this:
"SELECT " + @[col1] + " as col1, foo, bar FROM Table1"
Now as long as I set the value of col1 to '001' that should work. Right? Well not exactly. The destination for col1 in SQL Server is a char( 3 ). But the package makes the col1 column from the source a DT_WSTR. Which causes the famed: "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".
Is there a better solution?
Thanks. Kenneth.

Hi,
I imported a table from Accees to SQL 7 with data in it.
I need to modify one of the datatype columns to "datetime" from nvarchar.
I tried to convert it manually, in SQL Server Enterprise Manager tool, but it gave me an error.
I also tried, creating another column "DATE2-datatype:datetime" and updating the column with the old one.
UPDATE users SET DATE2 = DATE.. But it also faild,..
How can I modify the column?
Thank you.
Hai All.

I was able to create a scheduled job in Enterprise Manager 8.0 on a server running 7.0, but I couldn't find a way to disable it. I've used the sp_delete_job stored procedure to delete my job and re-entered it with new parameters.
Is using the sp_delete_job sp only way to modify scheduled jobs?
If yes, I have a problem since my 7.0 Enterprise Manager is gone.
Any ideas?

Question: I have Log Shipping setup and i am wanting to verify it will do what we need. That is when a table is changed in our production enviroment that change is replicated into our other server. IE I rename a field in a table or create a new table... You know change the structure... How do I replicate that stuff to my other servers?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a column going into a merge DT_WSTR length 50 on both(left/right) sides, yet when viewing the resulting output metadata, the length is 16. (I am viewing the metadata by clicking on the arrows)
This is obviously wrong.
NB originally the length was not set to this. As an attempt to try and fix the problem, I have added a placeholder column before all of my conditional splits of str50 type.
Why is it doing this?
This is causing my 0xC02020C1 error, I am convinced of it.
One of the errors has now gone away but the other two merges still have the error.
SSIS seems to assume that you will make no mistakes and will never want to go back and change anything, woe betide you if you have to go back and alter it later.
I have also noticed that certain (other) errors go away merely by opening and closing the tasks. Shocking.

Folks,
Is there any way I can dynamically alter the structure of a table? In other words if my Transact SQL
statement returns 5 rows I want to alter an existing table and put in 5 columns. Strange?!
Something like
alter table add
column+@i
The alter table statement is within a Cursor and ideally @i should increment each time and alter
the table to put in a new column.
If I went 3 times thru the loop, I should have
column1
column2
column3
added to the new table.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much in advance.
