Hi,
I have an Excel file source. I keep getting this error when running the package:
"The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns. The column "x" needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection."
When I get this error with regular flat files, it's because I've changed the data type of a given column in the flat file connection manager. And I resolve it simply by double-clicking on the flat file source task, and viola - it corrects it for me.
How do I correct this with an Excel file? Help.
Thanks
Hi All,
I want to run a loop for all the input columns in the script component. My requirement is, I have nearly 50 columns in the input columns list. For each row and for each column I need to do some operation. How Can I run a loop for each column. Please note in the script component I need to get the column names in the middle for some operations. Please see below.
Process Each Input Row
For each column in Input column list
....

End Loop
End Loop for each input row
Can anybody tell me how can I do that.

Hello,
I have a SSIS package with a Data Flow task. This task transfers the data from SQL Server 2000 to a table in SQL Server 2005.
I deployed and tested this package on the Test Server. Then put this package in a job and executed it - Works fine.
On the production server- If I execute the package through DTEXECUI, it works fine. But when I try executing it through a job- the job fails and it gives me following error:
Description: The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns. The "external metadata column "T_FieldName" (82)" needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection....
What I don't understand is, why are there no errors displayed when I execute the package through DTEXECUI.
Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks.

Greetings everyone, I am attempting to build my first application using Microsofts Sql databases. It is a Windows Mobile application so I am using Sql Server Compact 3.5 with Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2. When I try and insert a new row into one of my tables, the app throws the error message shown in the title of this topic.
'((System.Exception)($exception)).Message' threw an exception of type 'System.NotSupportedException'
My table has 4 columns (i have since changed my FavoriteAccount datatype from bit to Integer)
http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k71/Scionwest/table.jpg
Account type will either be "Checking" or "Savings" when a new row is added, the user will select what they want from a combo box.
Next is a snap shot of my startup form.
http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k71/Scionwest/form.jpg
Where it says "Favorite Account: None" in the top panel, I am using a link label. When a user clicks "None" it will go to a account creation wizard, and set the first account as it's primary/favorite. As more accounts are added the user can select which will be his/her primary/favorite. For now I am just creating a sample account when the label is clicked in an attempt to get something working. Below is the code used.
private void lnkFavoriteAccount_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
FinancesDataSet.BankAccountRow account = this.financesDataSet.BankAccount.NewBankAccountRow();
account.Name = "MyBank Checking Account";
account.AccountType = "Checking";
account.Balance = Convert.ToDecimal("15.03");
account.FavoriteAccount = 1;//datatype is an integer, I have changed it since I took the screenshot.
financesDataSet.BankAccount.Rows.Add(account);
//The next three lines where added while I was trying to get this to work.
//I don't know if I really need them or not, I receive the error regardless if these are here or not.
this.bankAccountTableAdapter1.Update(financesDataSet);
this.financesDataSet.AcceptChanges();
refreshDatabase();
}
the refreshDatabase() code is here:
private void refreshDatabase()
{
this.bankAccountTableAdapter1.Fill(this.financesDataSet.BankAccount);
//Aquire a count of accounts the user has
int numAccounts = financesDataSet.BankAccount.Count;
//Loop through each account and see which one is the primary.
for (int num = 0; num != numAccounts; num++)
{
//Works ok in frmMain_Load, but when my lnkFavoriteAccount_click calls this, it throws the error.
if (this.financesDataSet.BankAccount[num].FavoriteAccount == 1)
{
//Display the primary account on our home page. User can click the link label & be taken to their account register.
this.lnkFavoriteAccount.Text = this.financesDataSet.BankAccount[num].Name.ToString();
this.lnkFavoriteFunds.Text = this.financesDataSet.BankAccount[num].Balance.ToString();
break;
}
}
}
and my form_load code
private void frmMain_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
refreshDatabase();
}
So, when I click on the lnkFavoriteAccount label, and my new row gets added, the app stops at the following line in my DataSet.Designer
[global:ystem.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute()]
public byte FavoriteAccount {
get {
try {
return ((byte)(this[this.tableBankAccount.FavoriteAccountColumn]));
}
catch (global:ystem.InvalidCastException e) {
//Stops at the following line, this error was caused by 'if (this.financesDataSet.BankAccount[num].FavoriteAccount == 1)'
throw new global:ystem.Data.StrongTypingException("The value for column 'FavoriteAccount' in table 'BankAccount' is DBNull.", e);
}
}
set {
this[this.tableBankAccount.FavoriteAccountColumn] = value;
}
}
I have no idea what I am doing wrong, all of the code I used I retreived from Microsofts help documentation included with VS2008. I have tried used my TableAdapter.Insert() method and it still failed when it got to
if (this.financesDataSet.BankAccount[num].FavoriteAccount == 1)
in my refreshDatabase() method it still failed.
When I look, the data has been added into the database, it's just when I try to retreive it now, it bails on me. Am I retreiving the information wrong?
Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

For a DBConcurrency exception, is there a way to determine the Column(s) that triggered the excepction? The exception itself does not seem to contain the information. You could probably write a very complex method comparing
DataRowVersions
, to determine which value is different, but that seems overkill.
Thanks!

I recently used the REPLACE command, as described in a previous topic on this forum, to remove unwanted commas however I've now got a new problem, the column has become half a mile long. I was asked to raise a new topic and give examples, see below:
CAN ANYONE TELL ME:
1. Why is the column now bigger?
2. How can I redue the size of the column to it's origional size?
I have already attempted to use CONVERT, RTRIM and CAST around the replace command, all give an error.
Example query and result before REPLACE:
select ICMAFinInstName,CptyCode from tradedetails
ICMAFinInstName CptyCode
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
Example query and result using REPLACE:
select replace (ICMAFinInstName,',',' ')AS NoCommaInst,CptyCode from tradedetails
NoCommaInstrument CptyCode
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
(I see in the preview that this forum has removed the spaces between the titles, but the dashes (--) show the size of the columns

I have a table . It has a nullable column called AccountNumber, whichis of varchar type. The AccountNumber is alpha-numeric. I want to takedata from this table and process it for my application. Before doingthat I would like to filter out duplicate AccountNumbers. I get most ofthe duplicates filtered out by using this query:select * from customerswhere AccountNumber NOT IN (select AccountNumber from customers whereAccountNumber <> '' group by AccountNumber having count(AccountNumber)[color=blue]> 1)[/color]But there are few duplicate entries where the actual AccountNumber issame, but there is a trailing space in first one, and hence thisduplicate records are not getting filtered out. e.g"abc123<white-space>" and "abc123" are considered two different entriesby above query.I ran a query like :update customers set AccountNumber = LTRIM(RTRIM(AccountNumber)But even after this query, the trailing space remains, and I am notable to filter out those entries.Am I missing anything here? Can somebody help me in making sure Ifilter out all duplicate entries ?Thanks,Rad
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have developed a Smart Device Application using VB.NET 2003 on top of Windows Mobile 2003 platform which is running on Symbol PPT 8846, a model used in our construction sites for gathering data bar-coded on Pipes, trucks...etc. This application uses SQL CE as its back-end database and since its difficult to cover our sites with WI-FI coverage, most of the time the application is running offline. As for that, on a daily basis, synchronization is done in the offices before the system is released into sites. I have been doing several implementations in several projects and till now everything is running fine but until I got a native exception on exporting the data back into the server database. The server database or main database is using Fox Pro and this is what led me to build a Web Service for communication between SQL CE and Fox Pro. Anyways, going back to that mysterious exception, I did some of my intensive debug on what caused it. As a start, I went through the code line by line to check if there was a memory leak from P/Invokes; but I was shocked that the exception was raised from "SQLCEDataAdapter.Fill(Dataset)" function. First thought came to mind was to hard reset and to re-install the application but no luck. Since it was about SQLCE, I moved towards checking the data found in the SQLCE database and tried to de-fragment the data found under the table needed for export. What I mean by de-fragmenting is that I grouped the data under different classes or families and created different tables depending on these classes. Then tried exporting again and Bingo the data was exported except one record...That was so weird!! huh? (The database had 515 records)
So I went for the Query Analyzer to try to view that record but no hope, it was taking too long to view the record, I just left it for more than 15 minutes and still no response from the Analyzer...it was so strange since there was only one record in that table!!!?!!! As going further, I was so curious why this record causing that native and inability to be viewed by the Analyzer?? I did testing on the column-level of that record and found out that you can view all the columns except two : nvarchar(200) and nvarchar (20)....I was able to resolve this problem with an SQL statement to update both columns with empty or dummy values...!!!!!
But after this resolution, I really don't know how it could be controlled later on!! and why it happened??
I would be glad if anyone can give me any advise on why such problem popped out and especially on the column-level in SQL CE?? And how to overcome it?
Thanks for your time and effort,
Looking forward to hear from as soon as possible...
Just for Clarification:
.NET CF 1.0 SP3
SQLCE 2.0

I'm executing the following...
select COL1, min(COL2) from TABLE group by COL1
the table has many duplicate entries, where COL2 is the primary key and unique, but its the duplicate COL1 entries that have to be removed.
I was hoping a simple
"delete from table where COL1 not in (select COL1, min(COL2) from TABLE group by COL1)"
would do the trick, but obviously in returning two columns from the subselect this won't work. Can I hide the COL2 output from the query that will be put in the subselect?
this is a one-off thing, so i'm not overly concerned about overhead or elegance. just need to make it so.

I have a stored procedure that returns a single row based on a parameter of employee ID. This particular procedure uses a CTE to traverse our org structure. One of the columns is returning a delimited string of Windows login values and due to the business rules, it can contain duplicate values. I need to have that column contain only unique values - no dupes.
For example, this one column could contain something like this:
domainuser1;domainuser2;domainuser2;domainuser 3;
The need is to convert to this:
domainuser1;domainuser2;domainuser3;
I know that's a tall order.
I ran this query to populate a field with random numbers but it keeps populating with some duplicate records. how I can remove the duplicates?
UPDATE APRFIL
SET ALTATH = CONVERT(int, RAND(CHECKSUM(NEWID())) * 10000);
Below are sample output that I need the dupes not show. The table already exist and its sql 2008

I've look at several different methods for removing leading zero's from a column but I need to remove trailing data from a VARCHAR column. For some reason, the old database saved the time along side the date in my client's app.
For example:
The old database format "2015-07-28 00:00:00"
I need the data in this column in the new database to only be the date "2015-07-28", there are alot of rows with this issue.
Is there a query I can run to remove the 00-00-00 from all of the rows? Some of the fields actually have a time in there like this: 2015-07-28 12:15:35, with this one, I don't think it's going to be easy but if I could at least remove the 00-00-00 from all the rows that have it, that would be a good start.
How do i drop/remove the identity property for an existing column in all Tables where the Identity column is a primary key.
The Script below was used to find all the tables that have an Identity Column as a primary key in a database. Now i want to remove the identity property from the Identity Columns that have a primary key in the database.
select pk.table_name, c.column_name,
from information_schema.table_constraints pk
INNER JOIN information_schema.key_column_usage c ON c.TABLE_NAME = pk.TABLE_NAME
and c.constraint_name = pk.constraint_name
where constraint_type = 'PRIMARY KEY'
and COLUMNPROPERTY(object_id(pk.table_name), column_name, 'IsIdentity') = 1
ORDER BY pk.table_name, c.column_name
I need write a query for removing duplicates, for Example in my table I have columns
A_ID name id
1 sam 10
2 sam 10
3 sam 10
4 sam 10
5 ccc 15
6 ccc 15
7 ccc 15
8 fff 20
9 fff 20
10 fff 20
So now I have duplicates values in id column so now I need to take only one value of each and delete the remaining. I need to take first id value 10,15,20 so only 3 rows should be there in my table.
