I received a db2 data file that I converted to MS-Access. From Access I
ran the upsize wizard to put the tabel in SQL. It put the table in ok
but all the data types are nvarchar. I have a couple of the fields that
are cureny and some that are numeric.
I need to change the data types from nvarchar to numeric type fields. I
am new to SQL so I do not know all the commands. How do I change the
data type?

I'm trying to compare 2 field in 2 different databases and one is varchar and one is numeric. Is there anyway I can tell SQL to treat the one thats numeric as varchar or convert numeric to varchar for the comparison string... I'm trying to run the following in query anaylzer:update crcwebauth.dbo.deviationmaster set ldate = (select max(qvdate) from crcbrio.dbo.invoice_tbl where dnumber = qvqote)It gives me error:Server: Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 1Error converting data type varchar to numeric.The DNumber field is numeric and the qvqote is a char field...
How do I programatically change a column (say username) in a table (say tblusers) from varchar(25) to varchar(100)I am looking for something likealter tblusers set username as varchar(100) I know the above statement in nonsensical but it conveys the idea.
I'm doing a data conversion project, moving data from one SQL app toanother.I'm using INSERT INTO with Select and have the syntax correct. But whenexecuting the script I get:Server: Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 1Error converting data type varchar to float.Is it possible to change the data type during the INSERT INTO statement?Thanks
I've created a SQL View in SQL 2000 using a table that has columnsdefined as Numeric data type. In the view, I am grouping and summing.When I link the view via ODBC to Access, all of the data types arechanged to text. If I link the original table which the views arecreated from to Access, the data types are correct. So this problemobviously happens when I change the view to Group. Is there a wayaround this? I want the data types to be correct in Access when Ilink to the views.thanks,jim
Is there anyway to change the data type of a variable while in an expression? My problem is I am trying to compare a variable w/ a string data type to a variable w/ an object data type. I would change the data type of the variable from object to string but if I do that my sql task fails when it tries to write a value to that variable. The variable w/ the object data type is the result of an openquery sql stmnt. So I guess there are two ways around my problem.
1. Change data type of variable while in an expression..ie flow constriant or 2. Change data type of vraiable from object to string and still get the openquery result to work.
I have tables (they are empty and there are no constraints) with columns typed as varchar. In a database I want to change the type of all the varchar columns in all the tables from varchar to nvarchar. What's the best way to do it? Can you suggest code?
I know that to get all the relevant columns I would issue a query like this
select * from information_schema.columns where data_type = 'varchar'
Then I would use a cursor... And that's exactly what I would not like to do. Is there any other way?
I have a table say Friend which has a column "IsSingle VARCHAR(10)" and this column has values like yes or No Now I want to change type of column IsSingle from VARCHAR to BIT, if I try to do it manaually SQL throws error that cannot convert yes to bit etc. I know that we can write a script to do this task but i dont know how ? Any pointers,links, suggestions will help me to start with.
I have a SQL update statement that updates some user names, however, the user names exceed the length of the data type. Currently, for the column username the data type is set to nvarchar (8).
How can I change that to nvarchar(10) in a SQL Update statement?
I am using SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition fully patched. Database is in Simple Recovery mode.
I need to change a column's data type from "int(4)" to "smallint(2)". I know for sure that there will be no data (precision) lost, because I know the possible values that this column could have.
My problem is that the table I am dealing with has 600,000,000 records in it. I dropped all indexes before I tried to alter the table. But still it is taking forever and filling up my 280GB disk with transaction log file.
I know that in Oracle, if I want I can turn off logging and do these kind of modifications relatively faster.
I was wondering if there is a way of disabling logging before running this alter command.
What is the best practice to handle a situation of this sort?

How Can I Control the data type for each parameter ?? Or How Can I Change the data type of the parameter for the Deployed Stored Procedure ?? Or How Can I defined the new Data type ??
Or
What's the solution to this problem ??
Note : I get Error when I try to use Alert Statement to change the parameter Data type for the SP

I need to update a large table, about 55 million rows, without filling the transaction log, in the shortest time as possible. The goal is to alter the table and change the data type for Text column from VARCHAR(7900) to NVARCHAR(MAX).
Since I cannot do it with an ALTER TABLE statement (it would fill up the transaction log) I'm thinking to:
- rename column Text in Text_OLD - add Text column of type NVARCHAR(MAX) - copy values in batches from Text_OLD to Text
The table is defined like:
create table DATATEXT( rID INTEGER NOT NULL, sID INTEGER NOT NULL, pID INTEGER NOT NULL, cID INTEGER NOT NULL, err TINYINT NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
I've thought about a stored procedure doing this but how to copy values in batch from Text_OLD to Text.
The code I would start with (doing just this part) is the following, but maybe there are more efficient ways to do it, or at least there's a better way to select @startSeq in the WHILE loop (avoiding to select a bunch of 100000 sequences and later selecting the max).
declare @startSeq timestamp declare @lastSeq timestamp select @lastSeq = MAX(sequence) from [DATATEXT] where [Text] is null select @startSeq = MIN(Sequence) FROM [DATATEXT] where [Text]is null BEGIN TRANSACTION T1 WHILE @startSeq < @lastSeq
Is there a way to change an image data type? I want to make a change to some deployed SQL 2008 SSIS deployed packages. I have a TSQL SELECT that searches the packages for a string. But I would like to be able to change a string. I have googled it but cannot find anything.
Hi all,I have a table called PTRANS with few columns (see create script below).I have created a view on top that this table VwTransaction (See below)I can now run this query without a problem:select * from dbo.VwTransactionwhereAssetNumber = '101001' andTransactionDate <= '7/1/2003'But when I create an index on the PTRANS table using the command below:CREATE INDEX IDX_PTRANS_CHL# ON PTRANS(CHL#)The same query that ran fine before, fails with the error:Server: Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted inan out-of-range datetime value.I can run the same query by commeting out the AssetNumber clause and itworks fine. I can also run the query commenting out the TransactionDatecolumn and it works fine. But when I have both the conditions in theWHERE clause, it gives me this error. Dropping the index solves theproblem.Can anyone tell me why an index would cause a query to fail?Thanks a lot in advance,AmirCREATE TABLE [PTRANS] ([CHL#] [varchar] (100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,[CHCENT] [numeric](2, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHYYMM] [numeric](4, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHDAY] [numeric](2, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHTC] [char] (2) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL) ON [PRIMARY]GOCREATE VIEW dbo.vwTransactionsASSELECT CONVERT(datetime, dbo.udf_AddDashes(REPLICATE('0', 2 -LEN(CHCENT)) + CONVERT(varchar, CHCENT) + REPLICATE('0', 4 -LEN(CHYYMM))+ CONVERT(varchar, CHYYMM) + REPLICATE('0', 2 -LEN(CHDAY)) + CONVERT(varchar, CHDAY)), 20) AS TransactionDate,CHL# AS AssetNumber,CHTC AS TransactionCodeFROM dbo.PTRANSWHERE (CHCENT <> 0) AND (CHTC <> 'RA')*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
I can populate a dataTable with type double (C#) of say '1055.01' however when I save these to the CE3.5 database using a float(CE3.5) I lose the decimal portion. The 'offending' code is:
We have some columns in a table where the date is stored as 19980101 (YYYYMMDD). The data type for this column is NUMBER(8) in Oracle.
I need to copy rows from Oracle to SQL Server using SSIS. I used the Data Conversion transformation editor to change it to DT_DATE, but the rows are not being inserted to the destination.
On Error, If I fail the component, then the error is :

I have a field that is currently stored as the data type nvarchar(10), and all of the data in this field is in the format mm/dd/yyyy or NULL. I want to convert this field to the smalldatetime data type. Is this possible? I've tried to use cast in the following way, (rsbirthday is the field name, panelists is the table), but to no avail.
SELECT rsbirthday CAST(rsbirthday AS smalldatetime)
FROM panelists
the error returned is "incorrect syntax near 'rsbirthday'.

I use expressions to build the SQL query that is executed by the data flow.
Today, I ran into an issue. For the first time the SQL query has exceeded 4000 char so the expression cannot be validated and it is not possible to use it.
Is there a way to change the expression datatype to nvarchar(max) instead of the default nvarchar(4000) ?

I am trying to use the Bulk Insert Task to load from a csv file. My final column is a bit that is nullable. My file is an ID column that is int, a date column that is mm/dd/yyy, then 20 columns that are real, and a final column that is bit. I've tried various combinations of codepage and datafiletype on my task component. When I have RAW with Char, I get the error included below. If I change to RAW/Native or codepage 1252, I don't have an issue with the bit; however, errors start generating on the ID and date columns.
I have tried various data type settings on my flat file connection, too. I have tried DT_BOOL and the integer datatypes. Nothing seems to work.
I hope someone can help me work through this.
Thanks in advance,
