Hi everyone,
I’ve got a small question: Is it possible to change the Column_Name – Data Type from a SQL table with a query?
I want to do this with a query.
The Data Type ‘ntext’ must be changed to ‘text’
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I’m attempting to use DTS to import data from a Memo field in MS Access (Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider) into a SQL Server nvarchar(4000) field. Unfortunately, I’m getting the following error message:
Error at Source for Row number 30. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1.
Data for source column 2 (‘Html’) is too large for the specified buffer size.
I also get this error message when attempting to import the same data from Excel.
Per the MS Knowledgebase article located at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=281517, I changed the registry property indicated to 0. This modification did not help.
Per suggestions in other SQL Server forums, I moved the offending row from row number 30 to row number 1. This change only resulted in the same error message, but with the row number indicated as “Row number 1�. (Incidentally, the data in this field is greater than 255 characters in every row, so the cause described in the Knowledgebase article doesn’t seem to be my problem).
You might also like to know that the data in the Access table was exported into this table from a SQL Server nvarchar(4000) field.
Does anybody know what might trigger this error message other than the data being less than 255 characters in the first eight rows (as described in the KB article)?
I’ve hit a brick wall, so I’d appreciate any insight.Thanks in advance!

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.
Any help???
Thanks !!
Hi.
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?
Thanx.

Hello,
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?
Thanks in advance.
Hi All,
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?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance,

{
}
But when I try to deploy that SP to SQL Server Express , The SP Parameters become in the following Stature
@ImageID uniqueidentifier
@ImageFileName nvarchar(4000)
@Image varbinary(8000)
But I don€™t want that Data types .. I want it to be in the following format
@ImageID uniqueidentifier
@ImageFileName nText
@Image Image
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
[Code] ....

I passed these parameters in command_line when I call the executable. (e.g RunSubscription.exe 1 2)

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The conversion of a char data type to a

Notes: all pages that have this error either has a repeater or datagrid which load data when page loading.
At first I thought the problem is with the date, but then I can see
that some other pages that has datagrid ( that has a date field) work
just fine.
anyone having this problem before?? hopefully you guys can help.

Hi,
I am using SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services and Reporting Services with Visual studio 2005 Professional Edition. I have developed couple of reports in visual studio 2005 environment using report server project of business intelligence projects.
In one of my report I am using MDX query which is created using Query Builder of Report wizard. Once I finished with report wizard a report created and shown with data, layout and preview tabs. I can preview the report. But, when I click on data tab there is no MDX query exists. After that I can't even preview the report.
Please let me know how can I solve this issue

Hi,
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:
this.court0TableAdapter1.Update(this.mycourtsDataSet1.Court0);
this.mycourtsDataSet1.AcceptChanges();
this.court0TableAdapter1.Fill(this.mycourtsDataSet1.Court0);
This did not happen with VS2005/CE3.01.
I have tried changing all references to decimal (or money in CE3.5) without luck.
I'm beginning to think that string may be the way to go!!!!!!!
Can someone shed some light on my problem.
Thanks,
Later:
It's necessary to update the datatable adapter as the 3.01 and 3.5 CE are not compatible.
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 :
There was an error with input column "ORDER_DATE_CONV" (1191) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (29). The column status returned was: "Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type.".

I am using the following approach to enable dynamic date calculations: [URL] ...
However, some measures I work with are percentages (not numeric values) and demand a different formula.
See example snippet bellow (first IIF statement)
/*Calendar*/
[Date Calculation].[Calculation].[Calendar Actual versus PY WK %] =
IIF
(
[measures].Name = "HSP2 %", -- < ThIs is where I am trying to check if the measure is a percetgae type
0, -- < When this is the case then do something different

I am trying to access the metadata. I am aware of $system.mdschema_measures but I am unable to utulize this for my case.

I have to map this column in teh report and should dipslay like above.I think if 0.00 is available then it should display as 0..If 1.0 is available then it should display 1.Any value that has postive number after the decimal should display all the values  example : 2.25,3.75,5.06, So in general the solution to display values like 1.75,1,0 we should not dispaly 0 as 0.00 and 1 as 1.00 and 2 as 2.00 and so on...Any Solutions in terms of SQL query  or SSRS expression.
