I'm encountering a Cast error, and find I am very much out of my league... I'm using a Derived Column Transformation to convert a column that comes from an Excel spreadsheet from a non-standard date format to DT_Date, though I picked this format simply because it was the first date format I found in the pick list. When I upload the ETL into Management Studio and run it I get the following error:

The data that is being converted appears as one of two things. First it can appear as a string value with 0 characters (that does not appear a Null oddly). Second it will appear as a string value representing a date in the following format 01022008 7:38 which is a date in the following the format 2 Digit Month, 2 Digit Day, 4 Digit Year, Space Time in Military Time.
The expression I'm using to convert the String data type to a Date is:
Code Block
LEN([Completed Date Time]) == 0 || ISNULL([Completed Date Time]) ? NULL(DT_DATE) : (DT_DATE)(SUBSTRING([Completed Date Time],1,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING([Completed Date Time],3,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING([Completed Date Time],5,10))
Hi, I'm very new to SQL. Trying to sum two fields, but I have to change the datatype first. Here's the code and the error message I receive. Any help would be appreciated.
SELECT TS_RESPONSIBLE, TS_STATUS, TS_USER_07, SUM(TS_USER_07 * TS_STATUS) AS value FROM TEST_54_VW GROUP BY TS_RESPONSIBLE, TS_STATUS, TS_USER_07 WHERE CAST(TS_USER_07 AS INTEGER)

I used SQLDataReader to assign a OrderID to a text box. OrderID is varchar type. I got cast error. How to fix it? Me.txtOrderID.Text = myDataReader.GetString("OrderID")
I want to load a smallint field with values from a varchar field; e.g. CAST(field as SMALLINT). This is in a bulk copy insert so of course there are the few fields that have '1773A' for example and error out the CAST. Anyone know of a way to return 0 (or 1) if CAST errors on conversion ?
This is the test script that's trying to convert 3750 records (an unknown minority of records contain alpha characters):
create table alstest (field1 smallint) insert into alstest (field1) select CAST(conf_number AS SMALLINT) from conference
name1 field is is nvarchar(40).(1)select case when isnumeric(name1) = 1 thencast(name1 as int) else null end as nameIn (1) when name1 is not numeric, name is null andits type becomes number not string(40).And,(2)select case when isnumeric(name1) = 1 thencast(name1 as int) else name1 end as nameIn (2) when name1 is Not numeric it gives error:can not cast name to int.Basically, i like to convert name1 to Integer if it isnumeric or keep it in its origianl nvarchar(40) if itis Not numeric. how?.--Sent by 3 from yahoo element from comThis is a spam protected message.

I found in a blog that this is caused due to a dll which is not registered ("DTS.dll")
Can anyone try to explain the exact reason for this? I am not even able to execute a package from the command prompt using the dtexec utility. I have "Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services Designer Version 9.00.3042.00" on my server. My other machine which executed this package successfully was running "Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services Designer Version 9.00.1399.00".
I'm trying to build a SS 2005 db from a Sqlbase database and I have coded a program to bring over the data and insert. The problem I'm having is that on some of the tables, I'm getting an "Invalid character value for cast specification" error on an insert. I've found the offending row and discovered that it's an integer that is null in the source table.
The weirdness is, that in SqlServer, it is defined as an "int" column that can be null. I can insert the row through both Management console (connected natively) and through a sql utility from Sqlbase/Gupta (called sqltalk) connected thru ODBC. The problem is when I try the insert through OLEDB within the application, that's when I get the error. I changed the value from null to zero in the source table then it works. I think there must be a "set **** on" on the connection that I'm missing if I can enter the SAME data using Management console but I'm not sure what that is. I don't want to have to find ALL occurences of null integers in my entire database just to insert it into SqlServer.

Hi I have a varchar(8000) and currently XML files are stored in varchar(8000).Some times when i am doing manuplactions in my varchar column i am getting with special characters error. so now i want to keep my column varchar(MAX) and when i am doing calculations i will convert my varchar datatype to xml datatype. By doing this i hope there wont be any special character problems. When i am doing calculations with the wellformed xml i am getting error for both convert and cast methods as below I am trying to do convert(xml,MyVarcharColumn) Implicit conversion from data type xml to nvarchar is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query. Also i tried with casting and getting same problme. is there any way to convert
I am attempting to convert an integer value to a string using the Derived Column transformation with the following expression on the field: (DT_STR,10,1252)prod_id
prod_id is an integer. I was able to do this before however, in the past couple of days, this has failed with the following error: "An error occurred while attempting to perform a type cast."
To my knowledge, I have not changed anything about this particular data flow within the past couple of days. I have verified that the value is coming in as an integer.

I´m having some trouble with a SSIS package that I´ve been using five months or so now.
I have a package scheduled to run every 2 minutes to load data into my SQL Server instance from our mobile computer systems. This data comes is read as flat file sources. My package runs 24/7.
My problem is that this package randomly returns "An error occurred while attempting to perform a type cast". This message is then returned during maybe 3 or 4 executions of the package. The error then vanishes into thin air, without me doing anything what so ever, and execution continues. The very same file that previously returned the errors is now processed without any problems.
I have no clue why this is, but I get the feeling that there has to be a reason for these random errors. To me, the type cast error seems to indicate problems with the data source (the flat file), but since the same file suddenly get processed without errors I have no clue where to start looking.

Hi all--Given a table called "buyers" with the following column definitions in a SQL Server 2005 database:
[BUYER] [nvarchar](40) NULL,
[DIVISION] [nvarchar](3) NULL,
[MOD_DATE] [datetime] NULL
This table is laden with Unicode data and the MOD_DATE contains no data--not even NULL values, and is giving me a headache as a result. I can export this data fine to a text file, but when I create an SSIS package to attempt import to another table defined exactly the same as above in another place, I get the following messages:

im doing a sum on a table and it either returns a number in decimal format or 'null' . The problem is when it returns null i want it to just make the text say '0.00'. So i did a test on the object that if it returns NULL just print '0.00' but if it is not null it tells me that there is a number there and i want to store that as a decimal and print it out. But i get an error for a type cast when im not it should not even be going to that part of the code. In the code below the first executescaler will return null so it should just go straight to the else. But it gives me the type cast error in the if that shouldnt be seen. The error and code are below. //Borrower NSF FEES cmd.CommandText = "select sum(itemamount) from postmtdtls where loanid='" + LoanID + "' and Transactioncode = '310'"; object temp = cmd.ExecuteScalar(); if (temp != null) { decimal B_NSFFees = ((decimal)cmd.ExecuteScalar()); borrowerPayoff_NSFFees.Text = String.Format("{0:#,#.##}", B_NSFFees).ToString(); //Borrower NSF FEES } else { borrowerPayoff_NSFFees.Text = "0.00"; //borrowerPayoff_NSFFees.Text = "0.00"; } Server Error in '/WebSite5' Application.

I am pretty new to SQL for SQL Server 2005. In a view I have a column CAST(Field1 as int). Field1 is a varchar.All works well except when the data is not numeric such as a '?' or '*'.How can I get around this, with a case statement, coalese?I only want to perform the CAST on valid numeric values.The valid values in the varchar field are blank, null,'0','1','2','3','4','5','?','*' and maybe othersThanks
If I run the following query in SQL Server Management Studio it returns the correct results: (Searching the table for the field "SpecimenID (an INT)" against the data entered (a Text Field - "7575-01") from the submitted form.

Can someone please explain what I am missing here.... MySQL = "SELECT * FROM ClinicalSpecimen WHERE SpecimenID = CAST(('" & AccessionPresent & "') AS VARCHAR(50))" *"AccessionPresent" is the value of the text field retrieved from the form. I guess what I am really asking is how can I search for an INT value in a table using a VARCHAR Field. Thank you for any or all assistance !!!
Hi over there,I hope this question is not too simple, but I didn't manage to figure out why...I would need an explanation for following issue:I'm reading data from a database (MSSQL) and it the column "PersonBirthday" is DBNull.I wanted to prevent the error (Textbox.Text = DBNull) with an IIF. The thing is I get thistypecast exception:"Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'Date' is not valid." This code is NOT working, why? txtPersonBirthday.Text = IIf(IsDBNull(.Item("PersonBirthday")) = True, String.Empty, CDate(.Item("PersonBirthday")).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")) When I'm using this code, which is for me obviously the same, just with an if-block it works,and I want to know why - please explain.

Can't seem to find why I'm getting this error: Specified cast is not valid. Ok, using a stored procedure for SQL Server 2000 and here is the main part of it: SELECT id, rank, firstName, lastName, service, status, createdTime FROM accessRequest WHERE lastName LIKE @tLastName AND firstName LIKE @tFirstName And the C# code behind from the class file: SqlDataReader spResults; conn.Open(); spResults = command.ExecuteReader(); while( spResults.Read() ) { AccessRequestSearch request = new AccessRequestSearch( (int)spResults.GetInt32( 0 ), spResults.GetString( 2 ), spResults.GetString( 3 ), spResults.GetString( 1 ), spResults.GetString( 4 ), spResults.GetString( 5 ), Convert.ToDateTime(spResults.GetString( 6 ))); searchResults.Add( request ); // Add to Array List } spResults.Close(); The part in red is where I think it's happening because that is what I just added to the request. createdTime in the table is set as DateTime. Can anyone see what I am missing here? More info is available if needed. Thanks, Zath
