Change Column Datatype $2,000 To 2000
Jul 30, 2007
Hello,
How do I change the datatype of a column in a CSV file. Preferably in the select statement (apparently Cast, Convert, & Replace functions don't work when selecting from a CSV).
I have a page where users upload their CSV files to and then I use SQLBulkCopy to insert all the records into my sql table. The problem is with columns of money data.
EX: "$2,000" >> 2000
The CSV file interprets the "$2,000" as a string of text. How do I convert it to a decimal so I can insert it into my sql database?

I am trying to replace the value of a column in a derived column component, but it will not let me change the datatype.
It has decided that the column is a float, which is wrong.
How can I change it to the correct type?

HI,
I'm trying to implement a site search. The only problem is that some of the pages have more than 8000 characters (like the press release pages) so I had to use the TEXT datatype (sql server 2000). I wrote a simple stored procedure to query the column, however it does not return any results. I'm assuming this is due to the fact that it is the TEXT datatype. ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated. Code below:
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_SiteSearch
@keyword text
AS
SELECT PageText
FROM tbl_Pages
WHERE PageText LIKE '%@keyword%'
GO

Hello all,First of all, I must state that I'm new to SQL Server, but have been along-time software guy for quite some time. Please excuse the potentialsimplicity of the solution to my problem.I create a blank database (TestDB) under my server machine (SQL Server 2000Standard)... I then create a new table (Run_Number) with only one record init.Field(1): Next_Run_Number (bigint), identity w/ seed 1 and increment 1, nonulls, PKI can successfully save this new table to disk and everything seems fine...problem comes up when I go back into the table and change the datatype from(bigint) to (int). I try and save changes and I get the following errorprompt:'Run_Number' table- Unable to create index 'PK_Run_Number'.ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid cursor stateI've checked and there's plenty of disk space available and the dbase is setto grow by 10% as necessary. Any ideas what could be going wrong? I'm ableto successfully make this change on my other machine running SQL Server 2000Personal. Thoughts?TIA!-J.C..

I am running Microsoft SQL Server 2012.
I had created a database named "Company-Data" that contains a table named "tblStock". This table contains several columns such as ID, Product, Quantity. The datatype for the column "Quantity" is INT.
I had entered 100 records to the table, now I want to change the datatype for the column "Quantity" from INT to MONEY.
How can we do this without loosing the data that has been entered the the column previously.

Hello,
I would like to change the datatype on a particular column from varchar to bigint across 100's of tables within a database.
I have the command ready which is:
ALTER TABLE tablename ALTER COLUMN columnname BIGINT
The problem happening is that it seems there are constraints across all the columns in every tables.
The error message is:
Server: Msg 5074, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The object 'DF__tablename__columnname__0ABD916C' is dependent on column 'columnname'.
Server: Msg 4922, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN columnname failed because one or more objects access this column.
I understand that if I delete this constraint, then it will let me modify the datatype of the column, but since there are tons of them and they are randomly named, how do I achive changing the datatype across multiple tables in bulk.

Hello,
I am trying to extract from some strings like the following strings the number and order them by that number:
Box 1
Box 2
Box 3
Box 20
Box 21
...(and so on)
The problem I am having is that I already extracted the number using
Substring([field],[starting position],[lenght])
but the output seems to be in a string format, so the order is not in an ascending order.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I have a data source that I access via odbc in a DataReader Source component in SSIS. I can access the data fine. However, I am having problems with certain fields that are numeric (specifically home prices ranging from 100,000.00 to 99,999,999.00). In the advanced editor for my data reader source under the input and output properties tab, in data reader output under the external columns and output columns, these fields for some reason default to numeric data types with a precision of 4 and a scale of zero, not large enough to hold the data that is coming in. This causes errors that make the data come in as null (after i specify to ignore the errors).
I can change the precision and scale to 18 and 4 in the external columns, but when I try to change the datatype, precision or scale in the output columns I get the following message:
Property Value is not valid.
The details are:
Error at Import DataReader Source: The data type of output columns on the component "DataReader Source" cannot be changed.
Error at DataReader Source: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0xC020837D)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.DataReaderSourceAdapter.SetOutputColumnDataTypeProperties(Int32 iOutputID, Int32 iOutputColumnID, DataType eDataType, Int32 iLength, Int32 iPrecision, Int32 iScale, Int32 iCodePage)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ManagedComponentHost.HostSetOutputColumnDataTypeProperties(IDTSManagedComponentWrapper90 wrapper, Int32 iOutputID, Int32 iOutputColumnID, DataType eDataType, Int32 iLength, Int32 iPrecision, Int32 iScale, Int32 iCodePage)
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi guys,
Is there any way or method to CHANGE the DATATYPE of a column in a published table being used for transactional replication (MSSQL 2000), WITHOUT DROPPING THE SUBSCRIPTION ????
Im stuck in this mess and do have the option to drop the subscription, alter the table, create the subscription and rerun the snapshot or to recreate it by Manual Synchronisation either.
Can anyone help? Has anyone been across this dilemma before and have troubleshooted the problem? If yes, help is much appreciated.
MY PROBLEM:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'MyTable' is currently being published and has subscriptions to it. The PRIMARY KEY column 'id' has an Identity property as well. 'id' is of datatype smallint, however because of bad planning, i now need to change that datatype to an integer to support a larger range WITHOUT DROPPING SUBSCRIPTIONS.
I CANT DROP THE COLUMN EITHER AS IT IS BEING THE PRIMARY KEY COLUMN.
IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY I CAN DO TO ARCHIEVE MY GOAL? THANKYOU.

I am trying to make the following update: All the columns are fine except for the 'name' column. datatype for 'name' column in the target table is varchar(30) and the datatype for 'name' in the sourcetable is varchar(40), I cannot change the datatype of the column 'name' to varchar(40) because I am told it may affect performance. what I want to do is just update the first 'name' column of the target table by the first 30 characters of the source table column 'name'
I am using the following query, is it possible to do it or are there any other ways I can update the column without changing the datatype?
MERGE INTO [S].[dbo].[AF_Copy] AS TargetTable
USING (SELECT source_code, name, addr1, city, zip FROM
[D].[D_TEST].[dbo].[SO_Copy]) AS SourceTable
ON ([TargetTable].[Code] = [SourceTable].[source_code])
[code]...

Hello. I using a simply SELECT statement to retrieve some data from aSQL SERVER via an ODBC connection. I had to go from VARCHAR to TEXTbecause the amount of data. Anyway, my SQL statements worked just finewhen I was using VARCHAR, but now since I am using TEXT, I am onlyreceiving part of the content back. Do I have to do some sort ofspecial Casting or something if I want to get all the content back?It's over 8,000 characters. Thank you very much. I have racking mybrain on this for a while.

Here is my expression in a derived component:
"Failed insert into PONL_WELL. WELL_NO=" + (DT_WSTR,10)PROP_NO
PROP_NO comes from ms sql server , and the derived component datatype for this column is DT_WSTR.
The destination will be ms sql server, and i have a data conversion after the derived component to cast from DT_WSTR to DT_STR.
However, the derived component failed everytime giving me
Error: 0xC0049064 at Load Ponl_Well, Derived Column [1342]: An error occurred while attempting to perform a type cast.
Anyone know how i can eliminate the data conversion component and just do my string and column concatenation in the derived column and have it output as DT_STR?
