Backup's Formatted Incorrectly ?
Feb 25, 2005
I get this message in the SQL Server logs after I restore a db. I copied this backup from another server is that why it's telling me it formatted incorrectly? The strange thing is in QA it restores successfully but when I look @ EM it's remains in Loading mode and never completes
The backup data in 'D:SQLServerMSSQLackupjan_prod_db_20050214173 0.BAK' is incorrectly formatted. Backups cannot be appended, but existing backup sets may still be usable.

What does this error message mean ? We have SQL2000, with database FULL RECOVERY. Other databases on the server are fine. Backups stopped working a week ago. Can't remeber anything changing
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The backup data in 'D:BackupTI backup.BAK' is incorrectly formatted. Backups cannot be appended, but existing backup sets may still be usable. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3266) BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed.

For some reason a stored procedure which I have created is incorrectlysaving the date to the table. It seems the day and month are beingswapped around e.g. a date which should be the 12th April (12/04/2005)is saving as the 4th December (04/12/2005).The parameter used in the stored procedure comes from a VB6 app, Iamended this so the format was "yyyymmdd hh:mm:ss". The full line in VBbeing,Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("date_of_call", adChar, , 17,Format(firstCallDateTime, "yyyymmdd hh:mm:ss"))When I run my VB app it works fine, the syntax in the stored procedureis,CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.spUpdValues@data_id int,@date_of_call datetimeasupdate dataSET date_of_call = CONVERT(char, @date_of_call, 101)where data_id=@data_idIs it because the convert format is using an american date format ? Ican't see why as I can't reproduce this error using my own PC as thedate saves correctly, I can also confirm it's not happening to everybodywho uses the app. If it is happening for specifc users then what couldbe the cause. I've checked Regional Settings and all seems fine there.Any ideas on what could be doing this as I'm struggling to investigateany further.To debug I ran the stored procedure direct, manually inputting thevariable - again no problem. Also, the following SQL statment shows noproblem...declare @date_of_call datetimeset @date_of_call = '20041101 08:30:00'select CONVERT(char, @date_of_call, 101)select CONVERT(char, @date_of_call, 106)------------------------------11/01/2004(1 row(s) affected)------------------------------01 Nov 2004(1 row(s) affected)Any help would be much appreciated.*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

Hi all,
I have an odd issue. I have a query that returns one row from SQL Server. The value for one column (payment) in this row is 5.00. There are no other rows returned, only one row. However, when I do a sum on payment it returns 195! I dont know where its getting this from, especially since I can see all the rows by removing the SUM() and there only is one row. Here is the query:Select v_payments.tripid, Instransporttotal, lastName, firstName, tripDate, v_payments.payment,credit, translation, inscoid, v_payments.checkid
from v_billbuckets
left join v_patient on v_billbuckets.patientID = v_patient.ssnleft join v_payments on v_billbuckets.tripid = v_payments.tripid
left join v_InsCompany on v_billbuckets.inscompanyid= v_inscompany.inscoidleft join v_billRecItem on v_payments.tripid = v_billRecItem.tripid
WHERE v_payments.checkID = 315898GROUP BY v_payments.tripid, Instransporttotal, lastName, firstName, tripDate, v_payments.payment, v_payments.credit, translation, inscoid, v_payments.checkid
The above query returns one row. However, If I put SUM() around v_payments.payment in the SELECT line then it is 195. I dont know why it is doing this. Any ideas?
Thanks!
John

I have a report that is deployed at multiple sites without any problems, except one. At one site, when I render it to pdf, it doesn't look at all right, and the alignment on a table goes from center to right aligned for no obvious reason. It then stretches a textbox horizontally to force it onto another page. I've doublechecked and made sure that all the expand options on every single thing on the report is off, and I really don't understand why it would happen at only one site, even though the data is almost the exact same. Not only that, table cells don't stretch horizontally, they stretch vertically, so again, I'm stumped about why this one site would render incorrectly to a .pdf. Even in the report viewer, everything looks fine.
I am wondering if anyone has had a problem with rendering to pdf incorrectly when the rdl and data are correct, and what your solution was.
P.S. IT isn't a problem with margining, so please, don't give the generic "CHECK YOUR MARGINS" response.

Hi,I've got a question about saving into datetime fields in a SQL Server table. A form I have create has two fields both for dates as well as other form fields, but the user may or may not fill in all the form fields, so when they click the save link I have a query which saves all the form fields whether they are blank or not. Unfortunately this is causing the two date fields to be saved in the database as "01/01/1900" even thoough they are blank fields.What is a good way to not save blank date fields as "01/01/1900"?ThanksStephen

I have a customer who is running a script that generates a custom report. IT is not populating as it should and is returning zeros for everything.
I have tested the the script in the office and it is populating as intended. I have run a debug on the script and it is executing the correct SQL commands. The debug results for the customer and for the one tested in the office are identical. For some reason, the script is not writing to file but is looking at the correct data. I suspect that it is an environment issue most likely on the SQL level.
Could this be an issue with character set? How can I check their character set and language preferences? I understand they are set during installation.
They are using the same collation as us.
What else can I check as I am running low on ideas.
I advised the client to create a new DB and restore over the top. The script was then tested and it was found to be working fine. As it was given an inappropriate name (ie test), I advised to create a new DB with a production name and restore over the top again. We have since returned back to where we started as the report is generating only zeros.

I have a .NET application with a sql server database backend. Ourclient has been having problems lately with data being returned fromthe database with wrong data. We have error logging in our storedprocedures and even this is reporting wrong. In every stored procedurewe have the following:IF @@Error <> 0BEGINEXEC dbo.HandleError@ErrorNum = @@Error,@ProcID = @@PROCIDENDThen, HandleError looks like:CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.HandleError@ErrorNum int,@ProcID intAS/************************************************** ****************** PROCEDURE: HandleError* PURPOSE: Handles logging an error* CALLED FM: Other stored procedures************************************************** ******************/SET NOCOUNT ONDECLARE @UserID intDECLARE @Host varchar(50)DECLARE @Len intDECLARE @SPName VARCHAR(100)DECLARE @ErrorMsg varchar(500)DECLARE @ErrorTrace varchar(4000)-- Get our host nameSET @Host = HOST_NAME()SET @Len = LEN(@Host) - CHARINDEX(':', @Host)IF @Len > 0 AND CHARINDEX(':', @Host) > 0SET @UserID = RIGHT(@Host, LEN(@Host) - CHARINDEX(':', @Host))ELSESET @UserID = NULLSET @SPName = OBJECT_NAME(@ProcID)SET @ErrorMsg = 'SQL Error: ' + @SPNameSET @ErrorTrace = 'Error: '+ CAST(@ErrorNum AS VARCHAR(50))EXEC dbo.InsertApplicationErrors@ErrorMessage = @ErrorMsg,@ExceptionMessage = '',@ErrorStackTrace = @ErrorTrace,@UserID = @UserID,@HostID = @Host,@Logfile = '';SET NOCOUNT OFFGOInsertApplicationErrors inserts a log into a table we have that wemonitor. We got an error back in the ErrorStackTrace column with'Error: 0'. That shouldn't happen, as the only time we log error is ifit is not 0.Does anyone have any ideas on what might be wrong?Steve

I downloaded this 7/6/07 and am trying to debug. I have a field that is PICs9(5) and has 00 00 1D as its hex value. The component returns a dt_decimal field value of 20201-
I believe it thinks the 00 are spaces and converts them to ASCII 20. Any ideas on what is wrong here? Is there another step I am missing after the conversion? Any help would be appreciated.

I have run into a strange issue that I believe is a SQL Reporting Services issue.
I have a report laid out in landscape setting that has 4 columns of text. Two of the columns are sub-reports (due to the complexity and size, we did not flatten out the data in the stored procedure) and two of the columns are regular fields.
The 2 columns of regular fields are smaller, and normally only grow to about 1/2 the height of he page. One of the two sub-reports contains large amounts of text, and at time grows larger than the height of the page.
When the sub-report grows larger than the current page, it correctly starts up on the next page. But the 2 fields of data from the main dataset (not the sub-report columns) repeat themselves on the next page as well.
What is even more strange is the 2 fields of data from the main dataset only repeat data to grow vertically as far as the sub-report needs to grow. So if there is more data in either of these 2 fields than is needed for the sub-report to grow on the 2nd page, it will cut off the data in both of these fields.
I have tried placing the information in a group header. Turned the "Repeat on new page" both True and False, Took away the table header and footer, forced a page break after each group, tried using the "Hide Duplicates" property on the field within the details section, and nothing has seemed to fix the issue.
If anyone has run into this and found a work around, let me know.
Thank you,
T.J.

hi,
among our server-agent jobs is one for the log-reader-agent and its run status is displayed as error though the log-reader is working correctly, replication is working fine.
it had hit an error some days ago after an unexpected shutdown - but it has been auto-restarted correctly on restart of the sql-server agent.
now - what can i do to get back to a sensible run-status report?
i have already deleted the job-history with the hope that this might help - but it didn't. should i just stop and restart the job again?
can i somehow delete the status in the jobhistory?
i would gladly appreciate any ideas because it's making me just mad to have a 'failed' job status on the monitor *g*
thank you,
kerstin

All,
I have seen it happen frequently that I type in a perfectly valid SSIS expression (this is easy for me since I am an old hand at C++/C/C#) in a row in a Derived Column transformation, and it turns red. Or sometimes, I will have an invalid expression that I correct, but it stays red. Finally I have also seen it happen that I make some change in the data flow pipeline and suddenly a Derived Column transform develops an error. I then go into the Derived Column transform and find that the expression has turned red. So, I literally have to go into the expression in these cases, and make a trivial change to them to get the red error to go away. Alternatively, I can cut the derived column expression text, and then paste it back in and it works (this is most telling.)
So, it seems to me the Derived Column is somehow holding onto some meta data about the Derived Column that is getting out of date (rather than re-evaluating the correctness of the Expression.) One thing I usually can do to repro this at times is to remove a column (that the Derived Column depends upon) from the pipeline and then re-add it. When I go into the Derived Column it will be red, and then like I said I have to tweak the expression to force SSIS to re-evaluate the expression.
Anyway, I'm curious if anyone else has seen this?
Thanks.

I'm trying to import some data from an Excel 2007 file into a SQL table. I created the Source Connection Manager and an OLE DB Source Data Flow Component which uses it. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't use the Excel Source because of the version of Excel the file is saved in.) The outgoing Data Flow Path thinks some of the fields being imported should be of type float, when in fact they have alpha characters in them.
The fields in the database are defined as varchars.
A Data Conversion Transform doesn't seem right because I need the data to come out of the source as string data (which it actually is in the Excel file). Even if I convert it to string on the way to the destination, I would still be missing the original alpha characters.
How/Where do I change it (Source Connect Manager, OLE DB Source Data Flow Component, something else) to correctly identify the field's type?
TIA,
Christy

Hi all,
With Windows regional options are set to Dutch/Netherlands (or any other country using comma as the decimal symbol), MS SQL Server BCP Delivers incorrect figures to the target table.
The source table is a text file containing commas as the decimal character (As an example, in the text file 100.000 is represented as 100,000).
The target table is a Sql Server database table, with the column in question defined as a FLOAT datatype.
When BCP is run to deliver the data from the text file to Sql Server,
all figures are multiplied by 1000 because the input file for BCP contains a comma as the decimal symbol.
Thus, instead of the data being delivered with a value of 100, it ends up having a value of 100000
Is there anyone out there who is aware of any command line parameters that can be added to the bcp command in order to avoid this ? Note, the field in question is defined as SQLCHAR in the BCP format file.
Thanks for any help anyone may be able to offer.

before anyone even says it, i checked the collation order on everything and it's the same. i get the error when the snapshot is trying to be bulk copied to the subscriber.
i'm on sql2k sp4, server and db collations are SQL_Latin1_General_SP1_CI_AS. here's a repro. 1st, run this in a blank db:
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[Event_Transactions]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[Event_Transactions]
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Event_Transactions] (
[EventTransactionId] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[OrphanedFlag] [bit] NOT NULL ,
[ProcessedFlag] [bit] NOT NULL ,
[ProcessedTimeStamp] [datetime] NULL ,
[EventTimeStamp] [datetime] NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX [EventTransactions_IDX_ProcessedOrphanedEventTimeSt amp] ON [Event_Transactions] (
[ProcessedFlag],
[OrphanedFlag],
[EventTimeStamp]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Event_Transactions] ADD
CONSTRAINT [PK_Event_Transactions] PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED
(
[EventTransactionId]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
insert into Event_Transactions (
OrphanedFlag
,ProcessedFlag
,ProcessedTimeStamp
,EventTimeStamp
)
values (
1
,0
,NULL
,'2004-05-07 15:15:24.000'
)
insert into Event_Transactions (
OrphanedFlag
,ProcessedFlag
,ProcessedTimeStamp
,EventTimeStamp
)
values (
0
,1
,'2004-07-08 13:04:01.513'
,'2004-07-07 16:52:08.000'
)
Now, use transactional replication to replicate it to another db taking all the defaults. when the distribution agent tries to apply the snapshot, it fails with the message mentioned in the title..
Has anyone ever seen this? It's keeping us from considering MS replication for one of our major products. Thanks.

Hi All,
I am kindly seeking for help.
I have a table(MyTable) which is defined as (date datetime, ID char (10), and R, P,M,D&Y are all float) and the layout is as following:
Date ID R P M D... Y
1/1/90 A 1 2 3 4... 5
1/2/90 A 2 3 4 5... 1
...
2/11/05 A 3 4 5 6... 2
1/1/90 B 1 2 3 4... 5
1/2/90 B 2 3 4 5... 1
...
2/11/05 B 3 4 5 6... 2
...
The expected query results look like: ( this results from Date, ID and R fields)
Date A B
1/1/90 1 1
1/2/90 2 2
...
2/11/05 3 3
The SQL I wrote:
select date, ID,
A=sum(case when ID=A then R else 0 end),
B=sum(case when id=B then R else 0 end)
from MyTable
Group by date
I would also like to get another set of results with the same format but from date,ID and P fields:
Date A B
1/1/90 2 2
1/2/90 3 3
...
2/11/05 4 4
select date, ID,
A=sum(case when ID=A then P else 0 end),
B=sum(case when id=B then P else 0 end)
from MyTable
Group by date
The problem with that is if I have thousands of ID in MyTable I have to "hard code" thousands times and the same problem with the fields/columns. Is there any easier way to do this?
I also would like to insert the results into a table/view which will be refreshed whenever MyTable gets updated.
Any suggestion/comments are highly appreciated!

I have 265 word documents which I use with mail merge to create a master document.We are going to auto generate this master document going forward so I want to store these 265 word documents, these range in size from 10kb to 50kb. As I mentioned these are formatted and also contain a merge field/marker so what I will be doing is using a value in the database, my application will take the document which is stored as a string/blob and will replace the "merge field" with the value from the database.
I can write an application to import each of these documents but I am not sure whats the best way to store them in order to be able to find and replace the merge marker.Also I will be joining a number of these together to make the master document. So for example I take 10 of these and I replace the marker fields in these with the values from the database, I will then push that string out to a PDF/Word document for printing.

I am trying to restore a 2005 backup to a 2005 database on another server. This has worked for me before. I have tried to take the backup 5 times now and each time I get the error media family incorrectly formed. Since I have successfully backed up and restored before between these same two databases I do not understand what is wrong now.
I found other questions with this error; however, they were taking a 2000 backup to a 2005 database. I am using a backup of a 2005 database to a 2005 restore.
How should I begin to debug this problem?

I have a hungarian character which looks like a lower case o with two single quotes on top of it --> ő
I have this character stored in two table the datatype of the column where this is stored at is varchar in one table and nvarchar in the other. When I try to view the field in enterprise manager the character appears as it should in the 2 tables, but when I use a jsp page deployed on weblogic to look at this character the one stored in the column of type varchar displays perfectly, but the table in which the column is nvarchar the character on the jsp page appears as a Q instead.
Any inputs on how to correct this issue will be much appreciated. Any changes to the character set on the html / jsp pages has no affect on the result.

Hi, that's the problem:
I have a GridView, bound to a SQLDataSource, with an stored procedure as a Select query. The Select Parameters are bound to controls in the web form, acting like some filter fields.
When I submit the page, everythings works fine, except when I try to set some value in the DateTime fields. .Net is enclosing the date with extra single quotes, as I could see in the Profiler:
exec sel_despesa_procura @codigo=NULL,@fornecedor=NULL,@descricao=NULL,@vencto_ini=''2005-10-10 00:00:00:000'',@vencto_fim=''2005-10-20 00:00:00:000'',@pagto_ini=NULL,@pagto_fim=NULL,@valor=NULL,@valor_pago=NULL,@centro_custo=NULL,@pago=N'0,1'
The fields are defined as follows:
<SelectParameters>...<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="txtFiltroVencIni" Name="vencto_ini" PropertyName="Text" Type="DateTime" /><asp:ControlParameter ControlID="txtFiltroVencFim" Name="vencto_fim" PropertyName="Text" Type="DateTime" />...</SelectParameters>
The stored procedure doesn't even execute, due to the bad formatted arguments. It returns the error:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1Incorrect syntax near '2005'.
I'm going to change the parameter type to varchar, as a workaround, but I'd like to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Anderson

I have some textual data that comes preformatted with some extra spaces and line feeds. I am attempting to put it in a Report using SSRS 2005.
When ever I view the report in HTML Mode all of the extra whitespace is suppressed into a single space. However when I export to PDF or Word it all comes back. I have tried using the .Replace() method to put in and <BR> tags into my code, but then it just displays the extra text and doesn't display it as HTML.
Is there anyway either replace the items with the appropriate HTML, or add the "PRE" whitespace CSS attribute to a Textbox so that the text displays the same in HTML and in a PDF?
Thanks.
