CURSOR And TABLE As Data Types?
Oct 1, 2013I consider CURSOR and TABLE as data types but some one has argued that these are database objects.

Cursor Types
Aug 7, 2001I hope someone can help me.
I am running a visual basic program which creates a recordset based on a stored procedure. No matter what cursor type I set I always end up with a static cursor on my recordset. I think the stored procedure is over-writing the cursor type. As I know very little about TSQL, I don't know how to fix this.
Any Ideas?

Reporting Services :: Table Data Types For Data Driven Subscriptions
Jun 11, 2015I am trying to find a reference for a client that lists the fields available to be substituted into a data driven subscription from the query, along with the expected data types.  For example, the field on whether or not to include a link to the report seems to be expecting a bit data type.I have searched and can't seem to find anything.  I guess I could walk through the interface and try different data types, but if  a list exists, that would be better.Â

Oct 20, 2007
Hi,
I´m exporting an ms-excel file, then I use a lookup transformation to get a field from a SQL Server 2005 table. The Lookup transformation editor, after selecting the table, shows a warning that says:
at least one mapping between a column from available input columns ans a column from available lookup columns must be defined on the columns page.
So I try to make a relationship in the Lookup transformation editor's column tab where I find the Available input columns and the available lookup columns but I get the following error:
The following columns cannot be mapped:
[Department, DEP_CLEGALCODE]
One or more columns do not have supported data types, or their data types do not match.
The field in SLQ Server is varchar(10) and the input field is a derived column transformation; I have tried different Data Types but I always have the same error.
The DataFlow is: ExcelSource --> Derived Column --> Lookup --> Flat file destination
thanks.
Table Data Types In SQL Server 2000
Jan 24, 2005Hi,
Can anybody give me some information on Table data types of SQL2K.
How and where can it be used. Does it make the queries faster, in case there are many users using ?
Please could anybody give me these details, to make me decide whether I can use it or not ?

Multiple Data Types In One Table With Nulls
Sep 25, 2013Our database stores vehicle data in one table, but 3 different types of data are stored in the one table. The table contains all the columns for all 3 types so when you query the table you get at least 3 rows back with null values for all the columns that don't apply to that record. The data is imported to the table when it's updates so there's a possibility that they're updated at different times so they have a different BATCH like:
BATCH TYPE ID RATING INSURANCE SAFETY
300 SAFE 123 NULL NULL A
300 INS 123 NULL YES NULL
250 RATE 123 A NULL NULL
What I'd like returned is:
ID, RATING, INSURANCE, SAFETY
123 A YES A
I'm trying to do a case statement to pull the data down, but I keep ending up with multiple rows because of all the nulls. I tried doing a SUM of the case statement with an ISNULL(SAFETY,0) but I can't SUM char values. I can probably do this with 3 temp tables to load the data that I want for each TYPE into them and then select and join them together, but is there a better way to do this?
SQL Server 2000 Table Data Types
Jul 20, 2005Hi,Can anybody tell me if it is possible to return a table data type (asopposed to a temporary table) from a stored procedure.I am currently studying for 70-229 using the Thomas Moore book but itdoesn't really make it clear, as the text suggests you can't returnthem but some of his sample questions suggest you can.I can't make it work in Query Analyser so I am assuming that you can'treturn them. Is that correct?Thanks in advance for any help,Simon.
View 1 Replies View RelatedCopying Data From One Table To A New One With Some Different Data Types
Mar 30, 2007Is it possible to easily copy data from one table to another if the data types don't match. I know you can do a INSERT INTO table1(col1,col2) SELECT (col2,col7) FROM table2 if the data types match but is there a way to do this if they don't. I'm not trying to copy date times into bit fields or anything. I just have an old table that I built when I really didn't know what I was doing now I at leastthink I have a better understanding of what data types to use, so I was wanting to move the data in the orignal table to my new one. Most of the fields in the olddatabase are text datatypes and the new database is nvarchar(50) data types. Thanks for any suggestions.
View 4 Replies View RelatedFlat File Data Types - Defined From Table?
Jul 3, 2007This question is around how we can get the data types and lengths populated into the flat file source columns.
In Connection Manager, you have your flat file defined. You can choose "Suggest Types...", and the minimum lengths and correct data types will be returned from within the data in the flat file.
Is there some way to automate this data type definition, but coming from the other direction (coming from the destination table that we are loading)?
For example, you have mapped the columns that will be loaded. Can you then reverse engineer the data types and lengths for the columns in the flat file from the destination table?

Binary Data Types (Images) In Matrix/Table Items In Reports
Jul 11, 2007I am trying to produce a matrix (crosstab) report in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Report Designer, where the column headers contain a binary data type storing a png image.
By just simply using the report wizard and assigning the binary (image) data value to the column headers, and then previewing the report, I get following error:
An error occurred during local report processing.An error has occurred during report processing.The Group expression used in grouping 'matrix1_COMPETITOR_EMBLEM' returned a data type that is not valid.
Is there any way to include binary data types, or images per se from the database into a matrix or even table item in a report ?
Updating Datetime Data Types In A Table To Show Just Day, Month, Year
Apr 2, 2008I have a table with a datetime field 'TheDate'. Currently dates are stored as 'mm-dd-yyyy 00:00:00'. Is there a way to get just the month, day and year parts, '01/01/2008' into the field without changing the field data type to varchar? I'm asking because when I do this:
declare @MyDate as datetime
set @MyDate = '04/02/2008 18:00:00'
select substring(convert(varchar,@MyDate,101),1,10)
I get '04/02/2008', but when I do this:
update TheTable
set TheDate = substring(convert(varchar,TheDate,101),1,10)
I'm still getting a date in the format 'mm-dd-yyyy 00:00:00' stored in the table. I'd like to be able to lose the time portion, but I'd like to be able to keep the datetime datatype for date math purposes. Can it be done?

Putting Data Into Table B From Table A Without Using A Cursor

Transact SQL :: STATIC Defines A Cursor That Makes Temporary Copy Of Data To Be Used By Cursor
Aug 12, 2015 In MSDN file I read about static cursor
STATIC
Defines a cursor that makes a temporary copy of the data to be used by the cursor. All requests to the cursor are answered from this temporary table in
tempdb; therefore, modifications made to base tables are not reflected in the data returned by fetches made to this cursor, and this cursor does not allow modifications
It say's that modifications is not allowed in the static cursor. I have a questions regarding that
Static Cursor
declare ll cursor global static
           for select name, salary from ag
 open ll
            fetch from ll
Â
             while @@FETCH_STATUS=0
              fetch from ll
               update ag set salary=200 where 1=1
Â
  close ll
deallocate ll
In "AG" table, "SALARY" was 100 for all the entries. When I run the Cursor, it showed the salary value as "100" correctly.After the cursor was closed, I run the query select * from AG.But the result had updated to salary 200 as given in the cursor. file says modifications is not allowed in the static cursor.But I am able to update the data using static cursor.
SQL Server 2008 :: Write A Cursor To Fetch Required Data From Table?
Oct 21, 2015I have been trying to write a cursor to fetch required data from table but somehow its running forever and inserting duplicate records.
I have a temp table named getInvoice where I have five important columns
1. invoice number
2.group
3.invoice status
4. Invoice Expiration date
5. Creation date time
and some other columns.One invoice number can belong to one or more group and there can be one or more records for a particular invoice number and group.
An example is below :
InvoiceNumber Group InvoiceStatus InvoiceExpirationDate CreationDateTime
579312 01 3 NULL 2003-03-24 00:00:00
579312 01 2 2015-12-14 00:00:00 2005-12-24 00:00:00
579312 02 2 2003-12-21 00:00:00 2005-10-12 00:00:00
321244 01 2 2015-12-21 00:00:00 2005-10-12 00:00:00
321244 01 3 2010-12-21 00:00:00 2010-12-21 00:00:00
My query condition is complex and that is why Im facing problem retrieving the output.I need a cursor for getting distinct invoice number from the table and for each invoice number I need to get the latest record for each invoice number and suffix combination based on creationdateand time column and if that record has invoice status of 2 and also the invoice expiration date can be either null or greater than today's date, then I need to get that record and put it in a temp table.
The query I wrote is below
declare myData cursor for
select distinct invoiceNumber from #getInvoice
declare @invoiceNumber varchar(30)
open myData
fetch next from myData into @invoiceNumber
while @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
[Code] .....
This query runs forever and doesn't stop.

Data Access :: Validation For Length Of The Character Data Types
Jun 10, 2015I Have a table with #Sample like below

Sample Data:
ID SSN STATE
1 999-000-000 AB
2 979-000-000Â BC
3 995-000-000Â CD
=================================
We used filter logic based on the SSN & State.
We are passing these values through variables like
Declare @State varchar(2)
Declare @SSN varchar(20)
While run time these values are lets suppose @SSN = '999-000-000' & @State='ABC'
Now the Result is displayed with the state data Like 'AB' only.
Output: 1 999-000-000 AB
instead it should give system generated error.
Here I have 2 Questions:
1. Why it is taking 1st 2 Charecters?
2. Why it does not have any system generated for length?
I can do validation with Length function for these 2 variables however if have 100 variables then it should not feasible case. So, what is the reason behind?Â

Sql Types - Simple SQL Server Queries/handling Variable Types
May 26, 2005SQL Server 2000, ASP.Net 1.1
I've been writing this stuff for a while, and can't seem to come to the
conclusion of how I should be retrieving data and assigning this data
to variables.
Since i'm using SQL Server, I'm convinced that I should be using the
datareaders GetSqlDouble (or whatever) function, but this would mean i
need my local variables to be one of the SQL types. The problem
with that is, that there will have to be lots of conversions done by me
to be able to use a SQL type in my application.
For instance, I have a class where i'm retrieving dates. In order
to retrieve them correctly (Null values included), I need to retrieve
them with GetSqlDateTime(), then when it comes time to display the date
in a table, i must first check for nulls, then convert to a
string. This seems to be very cumbersome. Would I be better
off just using GetDateTime(), and the .ToString method, and ignoring
Sql Types all together?
so, basically, how are you guys using your sql server data? with
the supplied sql types, and doing all of the post-processing work
manually? I feel like i'm having trouble conveying my
issue...hopefully someone knows what i mean....i'd just like some
direction to save trouble in the long run, since i feel like there's
got to be a better way...
Confused!
Thanks,

SQL Data Types
Dec 29, 2004Hello,
I have a really dumb question regarding SQL data types. I have a couple columns in a table that are specified as MONEY. These columns are being read from my web app and displayed on the website for reference when filling in other information.
My problem is that when it is displayed on the website it give four decimal places instead of two. For example I want it to report $33,000.29 but what is actually displayed is $33,000.2965.
How can I set up either SQL or my web app so that it only displays the two decimal places? I've looked into changing the datatype already but SMALLMONEY and MONEY have the same type of decimal values.
Thanks!

I know in access I used to use the data type "MEMO" and be able to put a large piece of info in that field.

Need Help With Data Types
May 10, 2007Hi,
I am pretty new with SQL and was dabbling in a test database that is linked with a software application.
I made a change to a table - Lets call this (Table1).
Table1 has a multiple columns.
Column1 is defined as numeric(9)
Column2 is defined as varchar(20)
In this case, I wanted to make all values in Column2 = Column1 that did not have a value defined so I ran the following query:
update Table1 set Column2 = Column1 where Column2 = ''
This took effect but the particular software application doesn't recognize these values because they are the wrong data type.
How can I convert all data in a column to varchar(20) if it is another data type (i.e. in this case numeric(9))?
I've tried in Enterprise manager to redesign the table and adjusted the length to 21 and then back and saved it but this did not work. I was looking at Convert and Cast functions but don't know how to write one to accomplish what I need to do here.
Half of the data in Column2 is varchar(20) and half is numeric(9).
I want all to be varchar(20).
Thanks,
asyncd
