Hi,
I'm using an ETL tool called DecisionStream.
On a particular SQL Server, when it performs an insert, the degree character is being converted to a stacked bar:
source data: 1332 NS 4° Tall 32 oz
after insert: 1332 NS 4¦ Tall 32 oz
This works fine on my laptop with SQL Server, but for some reason, on the SQL Server at work, this behaviour occurs.
Any input would be great.
thanks,
d.
I bcped in data into a database with SQL_Latin1_General_Cp1_CI_AS collation. The input data has an embedded character ®(ascii 174). I did not specify any code page using the -C parm. The data was converted to character «(ascii 171). I ran the bcp trying -C1252 and -CRAW and both maintained the correct character. -C437 and -COEM change the character to «.
Why did this happen? I thought that data would be converted to correctly without any code page specification.
I am trying to write and insert statement that takes up a date value, such as,
Insert into tablename(date_column) values (date('some date', format));
I however do not know how exactly to convert a character string to transact sql date. can someone please lead me in correct direction? Some documentation could also help.
Thanks

Hopefully this is an easy one.
But in both the importexport utility and from SSIS. "#" become "." (aka pound to period) in column headers. So for example [# of errors] becomes [. of errors]. Now I truly do not ever remember having this issue before but then again I have don't remember having to construct field names with a various assortment of characters that are randomly strewn about as though someone discovered the symbol picker recently and had decided to employ it to make the a spreadsheet a more interesting place. Hence after a good day of time wasted. (as I considered doing an alter table after the sheets were put out.. and then thought better of it.) I seek guidence here. Thanks in advance.
Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string. I am getting this error while inserting values in the DB from my application. I have done insertion before too , but i never receive this strange error but when I insert the same thing manually then i didn't get this error ...
The format I used is also yyyy-mm-dd then how to solve this error?????????
Hi,
I'm working on a database conversion from Sybase to SQL Server 2005 and have hit a wall with a character conversion problem when reading non-ASCII characters (encrypted password string) via JDBC.
My application runs on Solaris and accesses a SQL Server 2005 database via the Microsoft JDBC driver. The server was unfortunately specified as having a SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation at installation time, and the database being accessed has taken this default. After creation the data was migrated across via DTS.
The invalid character is a dagger '†'. When read over JDBC it is converted to a question mark '?'.
In my original environment a Sybase database was accessed via JDBC driver from Solaris and the correct value was returned. The Sybase database used Latin1_General_BIN as it's collation. By way of experimentation I have modified the default collation sequence within the SQL Server 2005 database, and created a new table to hold the password. I am then able to correctly return strings containing this character from within SQL Server Management Studio, but the same problem still exists when accessing it via JDBC.
I am not sure where to focus my investigation and would be grateful for any useful pointers/advice. To me it looks like it's a JDBC driver issue as with the change in collation it works from a non-JDBC client.
Many thanks

This is probably a simple wuestion but i would appreciate some help
I am trying to get and insert the userId into a table called "Orders"

The Function Has the parameter for Customer Id as follows
Dim dbParam_CustomerId As System.Data.IDataParameter = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter dbParam_CustomerId.ParameterName = "@CustomerId" dbParam_CustomerId.Value = CustomerId dbParam_CustomerId.DbType = System.Data.DbType.String command.Parameters.Add(dbParam_CustomerId)
When i run this I am getting the error message

Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong
many thanks

I am trying to write a SP in Query Analyzer before I start the code from a web form to acces it.
Here is the SQL:
-------------------------------------------
DECLARE @cReportGroups Varchar(500)DECLARE @StartDateRange DateTime
DECLARE @EndDateRange DateTime
SET @cReportGroups = '''VCCEddieBauer'',''VCCEddieBauerDirect'', ''VCCEddieBauerOrder'', ''VCCEddieBauerOvernight'', ''VCCEddieBauerSpanish'', ''VCCEddieBauerCustomerService'''
SET @StartDateRange = '09-16-2007'
SET @EndDateRange = '01-31-2008'
BEGIN
Declare @sql As Varchar(800)
Set @sql = 'SELECT ttalkacd, cName, dIntervalStart, cReportGroup' +
' FROM IAgentQueueStats ' +' WHERE dIntervalStart >= ' + @StartDateRange
---- ' AND dIntervalStart <= ' + EndDateRange +
---- ' AND cReportGroup IN (' + @cReportGroups + ')' +
---- ' AND cHKey3 = ''*''' +
-- ' ORDER BY dIntervalStart' --+
---- ' COMPUTE SUM(ttalkacd)'
--Print(@sql)
exec (@sql)
END
-----------------------------------------------
Just trying to get the first >= filter working before I fill in the >= working to complete the date range logic.
But I keep getting this conversion error.
Why does SQL think that anything is a character string?All dates are declared as DateTime.I have tried a bunch of combinations like Convert(DateTime, @StartDateRange, 101).Nothing seems to work.
Good Morning:
I received the above error message when I try to convert a field to a date.
Here is the line of sql:
convert(datetime, cast(EligibilityEndDate as char(8)), 112) as EligibilityEndDate,
EligibilityEndDate is stored as an integer in our source system, so dates display 20080201.
Looks like the data is not a correct date.
If I just bring in the field as is, and load results into a text file or Access, I can't see the offending record.
The query returns around 320K records.
Is there another way of finding the invalid record(s)?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
I am trying to insert an entry into my database, but I keep on getting the following error: "Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string." My query is a parameterized T-SQL query (i.e. "INSERT INTO blah (name, dob) VALUES (@name, '@dob')"), and I have initialized the SqlCommand object by doing: sqlCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@name", "Captain America");
sqlCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@dob", birthdate.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy h:mm tt");
sqlCon.Open();
sqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
sqlCon.Close();
The dob field in the table 'blah' is a smalldatetime datatype, and in the code above, the birthdate object is a DateTime object.
I can insert into my database using a normal T-SQL through Management Studio,
For example, INSERT INTO blah (name, dob) VALUES ('Captain America', '11/27/1923 12:34 PM')
But it doesn't work when I try doing it the way I have listed above. It's really annoying because I don't know how to debug or if it is possible to debug the query. So first off, I want to ask, does anyone know how why this exception is occuring? Secondly, is it possible to debug the query? and if yes, how? And finally, is there a way for me to extract the T-SQL query sent to the SQL Server with the parameters filled in their values? For example, after adding all parameters to the SqlCommand via sqlCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue(), can I get the T-SQL query that is sent to the server?

Hi guys/ladies I'm still having some trouble formatting a select statement correctly.
I am using a sqldatasource control on an aspx page. It is connecting via odbc string to an Informix database.
Here is my select statement cut down to the most basic elements.
SELECT commentFROM informix.ipr_stucomWHERE (comment > 70)
The column "comment" contains student grades ranging from 0-100 and the letters I, EE, P, F, etc. Therefore the column is of a char type. This is a problem because I cannot run the above statement without hitting an alpha record and getting the following error
"Character to numeric conversion error"
How can I write this statement where it will work in the datasource control and have it only look at numeric values and skip the alpha values?
I have tried case with cast and isnumeric... I don't think that I have the formating correct.
I have also used:
WHERE (NOT (comment = ' I' OR comment = ' EE' OR comment = ' NG' OR comment = ' WP' OR comment = ' WF' OR comment = ' P' OR comment = ' F'))
This works but is very clunky and could possibly break if other letters are input in the future. There has to be a better way.I am sorry for my ignorance and thanks again for your help.
I am running the following query:
select distinct hqvend, hqvprd,fprod,idesc,ilead,sum(cast(fqty as int) )as fqty, (cast(hqvend as varchar(5))+'/'+ltrim(rtrim(fprod))+'/'+cast(ilead as varchar(3))) as Keydata,'L1/'+rtrim(fprod) as LocPartno from tblkfpl01 inner join hqtl01 on (fprod=hqprod) inner join iiml01 on (hqvend=ivend and hqprod=iprod) where cast(cast(hqeff as varchar(8)) as smalldatetime) <= (Select CONVERT(varchar(8), getdate(), 1)) and cast(HQDIS as varchar(8)) >= (Select CONVERT(varchar(8), getdate(), 1)) and hqvend like '134%' group by hqvend,fprod,hqvprd,idesc,ilead order by hqvend,fprod
The bold sections are giving me the error message. The query works as written above, butis only evaluating on one date, contained in hqeff. However, when I try to modify the second date, HQDIS, by casting it the same way as the one before it:
select distinct hqvend, hqvprd,fprod,idesc,ilead,sum(cast(fqty as int) )as fqty, (cast(hqvend as varchar(5))+'/'+ltrim(rtrim(fprod))+'/'+cast(ilead as varchar(3))) as Keydata,'L1/'+rtrim(fprod) as LocPartno from tblkfpl01 inner join hqtl01 on (fprod=hqprod) inner join iiml01 on (hqvend=ivend and hqprod=iprod) where cast(cast(hqeff as varchar(8)) as smalldatetime) <= (Select CONVERT(varchar(8), getdate(), 1)) and cast(cast(HQDIS as varchar(8)) as smalldatetime) >= (Select CONVERT(varchar(8), getdate(), 1)) and hqvend like '134%' group by hqvend,fprod,hqvprd,idesc,ilead order by hqvend,fprod
I get the error message. I need to select based on both dates (hqeff AND HQDIS), but cannot seem to be able to it.... Both fields are of type Dedimal, with a length of 8, and dates stored in them look like: 20071003 (YYYYMMDD).
Any suggestions?

Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string/
Hi,I'm new at asp .net and am having a problem. On a linkbutton click event, I want to insert into my db a row of data which includes two parameters. Param1 is the id of the logged in user, and Param2 is <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, 'UserId')%> which is the username of a user given through a datalist.When I execute the query: "insert into aspnet_friendship (userId, buddyId) values (@Param1, @Param2)"I get the error: Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier.I am trying to insert these into my table aspnet_friendship into the columns userId and buddyId which are both uniqueidentifier fields. I tested the query using the same values (@Param1, @Param1) and (@Param2, @Param2) and found out that the problem is with Param2 because when I use Param1 the insert works perfectly. The value passed by Param2 is supposed to be the id of a user which I get from the datalist which selects * from aspnet_Users, so that <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, 'UserId')%> should also be an Id like Param1 is. Since both params are in the form of .toString(), I don't understand why one works but the other doesn't.As you can see in the code below, both of these parameters are dimmed as strings, so I don't understand why Param2 doesn't work. Can anyone please help?

I am trying to write a stored procedure that loops through the list of user tables, gets the record count for each one and write a record to an audit table with DATE, TABLENAME, RECORDCOUNT.I keep getting an error "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string".Here is the script...
DECLARE @table nvarchar(500)
DECLARE @sql nvarchar(520)
DECLARE CursorSelect CURSOR FOR
select table_name from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.tables where table_name not like 'sys%' order by table_name
[code]....
Good day all.
Let's see if I can stump you with this one.....
Code Snippet
SELECT Account.New_DistributorAccountNumber, Account.New_NameonBill, ActivityPointer.Subject, ActivityPointer.CreatedOn AS ExprX
FROM Account INNER JOIN
ActivityPointer ON Account.AccountId = ActivityPointer.RegardingObjectId
UNION
SELECT Account_1.New_DistributorAccountNumber AS Expr1, Account_1.New_NameonBill AS Expr2, ActivityPointer_1.CreatedOn AS Expr19,
ActivityPointer_1.Subject AS Expr20
FROM Account AS Account_1 INNER JOIN
Contact AS Contact_1 ON Account_1.AccountId = Contact_1.AccountId INNER JOIN
ActivityPointer AS ActivityPointer_1 ON Contact_1.ContactId = ActivityPointer_1.RegardingObjectId
gives the error mentioned above. Each select statement, when run separately, works fine. Any clues?
Thank you in advance
I've imported a CSV file into a table in SQL Server 2012. It's a large file, 140,000+ rows, so I couldn't covert it to Excel first to preserve the date format due to Excel's row limit. In the CSV file, there were 3 column with date data in "31-Aug-09" format, and the import automatically transformed these in "31AUG09" format (varchar(50)) in SQL Server. Now I need to convert these 3 columns from varchar to datetime so I could work with them in date format.
I've tried several things,e.g,
select
convert(datetime,
right(admdate,4)+left(admdate,2)+substring(admdate,3,3))
or
select
convert(datetime,
substring(admdate,6,4)+substring(admdate,1,2)+substring(admdate,3,3))
but keep getting the same error message (Msg 241) "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string".
Hi All,
I have SQL query as:
SELECT CASE @sortcolumn
WHEN 'TYPE' THEN TYPE_TXT
WHEN 'DATE' THEN CHECKOUT_TS
WHEN 'ACCT' THEN ACCT_NBR
WHEN 'FIRST' THEN FIRST_NM
WHEN 'LAST' THEN LAST_NM
WHEN 'DAYS' THEN DATEDIFF(dd, CHECKOUT_TS, GETDATE())
ELSE DELIVER_ID END
FROM REQUEST
If @sortcolumn has 'DATE' or 'DAYS' it runs fine....any other value, I get an exception "Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string". All columns except CHECKOUT_TS are of type varchar.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Shashi
All source and target date fields are defined as data type "smalldatetime". The "select" executes without error though when used with "insert into" it fails with the error:
Msg 295, Level 16, State 3, Line 25: Conversion failed when converting character string to small date-time data type..I am converting from a character string to smalldatetime since the source and target date columns are "smalldatetime". All other columns for the source and target are nvarchar(255). I assume there is an implicit conversion that I don't understand. In a test, I validated that all dates selected evaluate ISDATE() to 1.
