Casting DT_WSTR To Integers In SSIS
Jul 5, 2007
Hello, all.
Why is it that, despite what is said in the sketchy SQL Help content, it appears to be impossible to cast a string to an integer in the Expression Builder to generate a value for a variable? More specifically, why does the following expression cause an error?
(DT_UI4) (SUBSTRING(@[User::FullDataPath], LEN(@[User:ataPath]) + 1, 2))
I'm iterating over files and using the name of a given file as an ID for an operation. I simply want to grab a file name using the Foreach Loop Container and process that file, while at the same time use the name in another operation. The file name will be something like "2.txt" (full path something like "c:somethingsomething2.txt"). I can use string functions to return the file name, which is a number as a string, and it should be no problem to cast that number as a string to a number (an Int32). SQL Server 2005 help has a chart that indicates such a cast is legal.
Maybe it's a crazy thing to be doing. Maybe I have to go about this a completely different way, but casting from "2" to 2 should be possible in the Expression Builder.
Thanks for any help.

Does anybody know how could I calculate the new date(adding @c to @bor subtracting @b to @c), having for example a declaration like this:DECLARE @a CHAR(12)DECLARE @b DATETIMEDECLARE @c INTSET @b='3.04.04';SET @c=6and to calculate the number of days between two dates with this kindof declaration(@a-@b or @b - @a):DECLARE @a CHAR(12)DECLARE @b DATETIMEDECLARE @c INTSET @a='12.2.04';SET @b='3.04.04';Thanks in advance.

Hi,
In excel file, I have one column CertNum. The Sqlserver destination column is CertNum of type int. I am using one data conversion to convert excel CertNum to integer datatype. I am getting the error like Potentila loss of data, truncation occurs. So Before doing the Data Conversion I included one Derived column with the expression
ISNULL([CertNum) || [CertNum] == "" ? 0 : [CertNum]. Then here I am getting error: The DT_14 and DT_WSTR are incomaptable datatypes.
How to avoid this error?
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
Actually trying to add one month to current variables value so I can process per month data in for loop for that I have written the following statement in Assign Expression Part of For Loop
dateadd("Month",1,((DT_DBDATE)(@[User::_year]+"/"+@[User::_month]+"/"+"01"))) here I am getting the error message that error converting from data type dt_wstr to to datatype dt_dbdate
@[User::_year] contains year value like 2003 and @[User::_month] contains month value like 1 using these variables I want to add the month to the date created by using these both variables.
so this is the first part to add the month to date and other part is to assign new value to variables by using datepart function
any help and guidance related to this whether I am doing right or not if any other wayout to acheive this goal.

The IC column referenced in the script below is DT_NTEXT, so when I run it the output value column gets "Microsoft.SqlServer.DTS.Pipeline.BlobColumn" instead of the individual codes (separated by "*"). Also, there is only 1 output row per input row, instead of 1 output row per code.
I found some references to the GetBobData() method, but replacing Row.IC.ToString() with Row.IC.GetBlobData(0, CInt(Row.IC.Length)).ToString() puts "System.Byte[]" in the value output column. There is still only output row per input row.
So how do I convert the IC column to a String that can be Split()?Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)
Dim seq As Integer = 0
For Each code As String In Row.IC.ToString().Split("*"c)
'Add a row to the output buffer:
Output0Buffer.AddRow()
'Preserve columns from the input buffer:
Output0Buffer.itemid = Row.itemid
Output0Buffer.attributeid = Row.attributeid
'Output0Buffer.IC = Row.IC
'Add output columns:
Output0Buffer.seq = seq
Output0Buffer.value = code
seq += 1
Next
End Sub

I'm using a Lookup component to add a DT_GUID column named cat_id to a data flow, which is used in a downstream Derived Column component to add a DT_WSTR column named value. The DC expression simply casts the uniqueidentifier to the desired type: (DT_WSTR, 434)cat_id
But when the values are persisted in the destination table's nvarchar(434) column, they have braces around them, e.g. {F475DB7F-5CB0-4EE1-9BF2-758C77D7A6D7}
What is introducing those braces, and what do I need to do to prevent it?

I am building a data warehouse. Some of the data comes from an AS 400 EPR system. I used the OLEDB connector when first pulling the data into SQL Server doing simple import data from table option. That worked great for getting the initial data load into SQL Server and creating the base SQL Server tables although it was excruciatingly slow (that was probably due to the transport from the AS 400).
Now, I need to get new records that are added to the AS400 side of things on a daily basis. For that, I was trying to use the OLEDB AS400 connector. However, I found that the OLEDB connector wouldn't work when I was trying to specify an SQL Statement for what to get; i.e., a simple query like Select * from TWLDAT.STKT where BYSDAT >= '2005-01-27' would simply not work. Found articles here explaining that it is probably a problem on the AS400 side of things and where people recommended using an ADO ODBC data reader source for this type of thing. So, I'm trying to implement that. However, I have a huge problem with it.
The original tables that got created were mapped to use NVARCHAR fields for character data. When the ADO ODBC data reader source accesses the AS400 data, it insists on interpreting the string type fields as being unicode strings and giving it a data type of DT_WSTR when what I need it to have is a plain old DT_STR data type. When the strings are interpreted as unicode strings, they cannot be converted in a way that allows the NVARCHAR fields to be filled with the data. The exact error message I get for all the fields that should wind up being nvarchar fields is as follows:
Column "BYStOK" cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types.
Okay, so I try to change the data types in the ADO ODBC data reader to be plain DT_STR data types and I cannot do so.
Does anyone have any idea why the ADO ODBC data reader source insists on interpreting the string data coming from the AS 400 as unicode string data or why it refuses to allow that to be changed to DT_STR data type?
Thanks in advance for any info. By the way, if there is a better way than the ADO ODBC data source to get at this data when I need to specify an SQL command, I would love to hear about it. Not wild about using ODBC in the OLEDB age.

I'm writing a stored procedure where one of the arguments (WHERE area) really only needs to be used in some circumstances. I.e., when the procedure is passed a USER_ID it needs to check that against the database, but in some instances I'll send 0 instead of a real USER_ID, and in those cases it should return all records regardless of the ID.
Here's what I've got:
...
and b.user_ID = CASE @user_ID WHEN 0 THEN '%'
ELSE @user_ID
...
...the problem being the '%' part. That won't work on an integer column.
Does anyone have any ideas here?
Thanks,

I have a table which measures the changes in a feedback rating, measured by an integer. Most of my records are the same. Only the primary key & the timestamp change.
How do I query just the changes?
Example dataset:
idrating
15
25
35
45
56
66
[code]....
There are 20 rows & 5 changes. The query I want will result in just those that are different from the ones before them:
idrating
45
56

Here is what I am trying to do...
I want to goup "members" togethers in a "group."
A table for members and a table for groups.
each containing coluns...
but inside Groups I would like a column that contains ID numbers for the members that be long to that group.
Being that members can belong to multiple groups - I can not use a GroupID in Members - if so I also need a way of it modular.
Obvisiously I am not a very good DB programmer - but I want the least amount of empty/unused space in my tables.
Hope this makes sense

I am having difficulty trying to figure out how to compare two integers stored in a table to return a third. I have two integer fields in one table and two in another like this:
Table1.SomeNumber1 = 1
Table1.SomeNumber2 = 2
Table2.SomeNumber1 = 2
Table2.SomeNumber2 = 1
I need to be able to compare the first number from the first table to the first number in the second table. If the values are different I need to set a variable or field to 0. If the numbers are the same I need to set my variable or field to 1.
I need to follow the same procedure comparing the second number in the first table to the second number in the second table. In addition, I need to be able to do it in a single select statement.
Does anyone have any ideas on how this could be done? Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.

It seems I am facing again an unsurmountable problem It should be so simple but one has to spend hours researching how to handle it. The MSDN help on this subject is increadibly obscure.
I have input parameters @months int, @days int, @years int in a stored procedure.
All I want to do is to get a DateTime variable out of them.
DECLARE @dated DateTime.
Thus I want @dated to be set to a DateTime value with month = @months, day = @days and year = @years. The MSDN help says that no CAST should be used since the conversion from int to DateTime should be implicit!!
No examples are given. They seem to show how to CAST or CONVERT varchar to DateTime. Shall I first convert my int to varchar?
It is rudiculous. I've tried dozens of variants. Please help.
Thanks.

I am trying use the decimal data type for a field in SQL Server. When I input the values below, they round off.
73.827 Rounds to 74
1925.1 Rounds to 1925
119.79 Rounds to 120
What am I missing? Access never gave me this issue. Do you see any reason this would happen? I am entering the values into the table directly!

I'm embarassed I haven't figured this out already but here goes.
Lets say you need a percentage from dividing two integers for example
"select 2000/4000"
This will produce a zero and I'm assuming that is because of the datatypes involved (the values are coming from columns where the datatype is int)
I've tried converting the values to decimal types but I keep getting overflow erros unless I use very small values.
As always, thanks VERY MUCH for the kind advice.

I'm having trouble adding a 4-byte integer with an 8-byte integer. Here's what I'm doing:
Column Name: BIG_ID
Derived Column: < add as new column >
Expression: (DT_I8)[ID] + 840230000538058
Data Type: eight-byte signed integer {DT_I8]
The error I get:
The literal 840230000538058 is too large to fit into type DT_I4. The magnitude of the literal overflows the type.
Then I try the expression:
(DT_I8)[ID] + (DT_I8)840230000538058
and
[ID] + 840230000538058
and get the same error.
What am I doing wrong? Is it possible to add 2 8-byte integers in regular expression? Why does it still think the literal is DT_I4?
Thanks,
Michael

I was told that, when possible, use integer fields for the equality comparison in INNER JOINS. Today someone suggested that using character fields that are indexed should be just as efficient. What do you think?

I am working with a database named €œDocuments€? that contains 4 categories of text documents, each having its own number designation in an integer datatype column named SectionTypeId:
1 = Text
2 = Report
3 = Background
4 = Index
I would like to create a new column named €œDocType€? in which the integer data type for each document is replaced with a varchar data type letter (1 = T, 2 = R, 3 = B, 4 = I). I was able to easily create the new column and cast the data type from integer to varchar:
--CREATE NEW COLUMN €œDocType€? WITH VARCHAR DATATYPE
ALTER TABLE FullDocuments ADD DocType VARCHAR(1) NULL
Go
--UPDATE NEW COLUMN WITH CAST STRING
UPDATE FullDocuments SET DocType = CAST(SectionTypeID AS VARCHAR(1))
Go
But I have problems with the REPLACE method for replacing the numbers with letters. First I tried this based on the examples in MSDN Library:
--REPLACE NUMBERS WITH LETTERS
UPDATE Fulldocuments REPLACE (DocType,"1","T")
Which produced an error message: €œIncorrect syntax near 'REPLACE'.€?
Thinking that the datatype may be the problem, I tried this to convert to DT_WSTR data type prior to replace:
UPDATE Fulldocuments REPLACE ((DT_WSTR,1)DocType,"1","T")
Which produced the same error message: €œIncorrect syntax near 'REPLACE'.€?
I have never done a REPLACE before, so any suggestions for accomplishing this would be appreciated.

My ERP software stores all dates as integers. So originally, I wrote a T-SQL function to convert these integer dates to normal people dates in the query I use as the recordset for my report. Well...that worked fine on 1,000 rows, but NOT for 100,000. So I've figured out that if I convert my normal person date parameter to an integer date, then SQL only has to convert my 1 parameter instead of having to convert 100,000 fields, (actually, 300,000 because I have 3 date columns).
So my question is, what is the best way to do this? This is what I have so far:
SET @Macola = Cast(Datepart(yy,@MacolaDate) as varchar) + Cast(Datepart(mm,@MacolaDate) as varchar) + Cast(Datepart(dd,@MacolaDate) as varchar)
However, I want the leading zeros for the month and day. For example if I enter '1/1/2004' into this function, it returns 200411, but I need it to return 20040101.
Any suggestions would be greatly apprectiated. Thank you.

Hello,
I'm new to SQL Server and I have to finish a VB.Net program from an employee that has left the company.
I have a table with column 'vanafdatum' witch has datatype char but they stored only dates in this column ( like this: 13/09/2006).
When I try to run the next querie I receive an error message "The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out of range datetime value".
This is the querie I try to run
SELECT MAX(CAST(vanafdatum AS datetime)) AS vanaf_datum
FROM tarieven
WHERE (vanafdatum <
(SELECT getdate()))
Is there any way I can cast the char datatype to a datetime datatype without getting this error.
I allready tried to change the data type from char to datetime, but doesn't work either.
A possible solution is to erase the column an manually fill in all the fields again in the data type datetime, but that seems a little stupid to do.
So I wonder if there is a solution that can change the data type for all rows in the database without losing any data.

Hi,I've come across a problem that requires i cast a string to a date, had a go but can't get it to work properly.SELECT EventID, EventName, EventShortDesc, EventLink, EventStartDateFROM dbo.tbl_EventWHERE (CAST EventStartDate AS DATE) > GetDate()ORDER BY EventStartDate DESCBasically i only want events which haven't expired (were before the current date) to be returned. EventStartDate is held as an varchar(10) therefore needs to be cast before i can compare. Is this the best way or is there a better one? If it is how do i get it to work?Any help would be great thanks,drazic19

Hi All
My brain has truned to mush at the moment.
:(
I want to sort on a char(5) column with data in it that looks like
01/07
05/02
06/01
12/01
07/98
so it comes out in the human date order.
e.g
07/98
06/01
12/01
05/02
01/07
