I am using the HitSoftware driver to pass data to an AS400 from a SQL 7 database. Data makes it fine to 2 of the 4 tables but I cannot get the syntax correct to even get out of the S/P edtitor in SQL for the other 2.
I have fields in the SQL S/P defined as VARCHAR. The target fields on the AS400 are ALPHA. So I figured the insert statement to look like:

I am using SQL Server 2000. I have created a Store Procedure to insert information, 4 of the fields are date types. I am using OleDb Data Provider (System.Data.OleDb) namespace.
The dates are filled by a form (web form) on submit event, I created a class that has functions to create my OleDb Parameters. I add the parameters to the command and execute it through a SQL Server Stored Procedure. In the event that I must have coded something wrong, I tested in the SQL Query Analyzer and the IN parameters for the date I used the getDate() method. This is where I know it is OleDb and SQL Server Parameters.
What Converstion Format should I use in the SP for the date? OleDb.date are doubles from some date in 1979 or something or another. So I used an OleDbDataType.DBDate. It seems that when the Stored Procedure uses the IN Parameters dates provided by OleDbDataType.Date or DBDate, that it doesn't like the int format. I am guessing that I am not converting the date in the parameters in the Insert of the Store Procedure... this is basically what I have...
Function to add parameters and execute SP
private int _startdate = DateTime.Now; private int _finishdate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(30);
CREATE PROCEDURE myInsert @StartDate datetime, @FinishDate datetime AS
INSERT INTO myTable (STARTDATE, FINISHDATE) VALUES (Convert(datetime, @StartDate), Convert(datetime, @FinishDate))
Please keep in mind that I am using System.Data.OleDb namespace..... please don't tell me to use SQLClient, it seems since I've been so adaptive of using OleDb, that it sould work just as well. I am way too far into this to change my Provider to SQL Client, but I promise myself that the next project (if using SQL Server, I will be using SQLClient and I will keep using OleDb for Oracle.) *sigh*
Hey im trying to store a category name and the date into a database. For some reason i keep getting this error Implicit conversion from data type datetime to int is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query. This error is the error im getting back from the database. the datetime field in the database is a datatype (DateTime) so what exactly is going on ?protected void InsertNewCat_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { string insertSql = "INSERT into Category (CategoryName,Date) VALUES (@Category, @Date)"; string conString = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ProCo"].ConnectionString; SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(conString); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(insertSql, con); cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Category", NewCat.Text); cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Date",DateTime.Now);

I am trying to construct a query in Query Analyzer (with SQL Server 2000), but am getting an error regarding "implicit conversion."
Here is the query:
SELECT dbo.AUCTION.EbayNum, dbo.AUCTION.EndDate, DATENAME([month], dbo.AUCTION.EndDate) + ' ' + DATENAME([year], dbo.AUCTION.EndDate) AS [PmtMonth], dbo.LOT.Description, dbo.AUCTION.WinBid, PaidStat = CASE dbo.AUCTION.PaidStatus WHEN 0 THEN '' ELSE 'PAID' END, PaidAmt = CASE dbo.AUCTION.PaidStatus WHEN 0 THEN '' ELSE dbo.AUCTION.WinBid END FROM dbo.AUCTION INNER JOIN dbo.LOT ON dbo.AUCTION.LotNum = dbo.LOT.LotNum WHERE (LEN(dbo.AUCTION.Winner) > 0)
The error occurs in the PaidAmt CASE statment: "Implicit conversion from data type varchar to money is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query."
Why is there an implicit conversion going on? And how can I fix it? :mad:
I have a sql statement that must run in both sql server and oracle. I can't change the sql statement as it is created as part of a core application from Rational Rose.
Basically the problem is that I have a table with a column defined as a decimal type in sql server (numeric in oracle).
The select statement, however, treats the column as a char. I can reproduce the problem with this simple code:
create table atest2 (a decimal(9,0))
insert into atest2 values (1)
insert into atest2 values (2)
insert into atest2 values (null)
insert into atest2 values (4)
select * from atest2 where a = ' '
This gives the error:
Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
The documents seem to indicate the sql server will implicitly convert decimals to varchar but this doesn't seem to be happening. Is there an environment setting that might control this?

In a stored procedure, the following code is causing a huge read and CPU load when it really shouldn't. The @IDParameter below is coming in as a parameter to the proc.
Here's the snippet of code where the problem is coming in:
DECLARE @ID INT; SET @ID = (SELECT ID From OtherTable WHERE FKID = @IDParameter); SELECT COUNT(*) FROM LargeTable
WHERE MostlyZeroID = @ID AND MostlyZeroID > 0Most (90+%) of the MostlyZeroID rows are 0 (hence the name) but regardless of distribution this should evaluate with minimal work on SQL Server's part to 0. However, when this was run, it is using a ton of CPU and doing a ton of Reads as it seeks through the entire index. When I look at the execution plan, I see under the seek predicate a Scalar Operator(CONVERT_IMPLICIT(int,[@1],0)) which is what is destroying the performance.
I've confirmed that the MostlyZeroID column in the LargeTable is defined as an INT NOT NULL. I also tested the scenario outside the stored procedure without any variables as the following to make sure it wasn't some kind of strange parameter sniffing scenario:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM LargeTable WHERE MostlyZeroID = 0 AND MostlyZeroID > 0
However, this query also did the implicit conversion. I then tried this out on a temp table populated with a similar number of records (100 million) with a similar distribution and I didn't get the implicit conversion (I got a constant scan as I would've expected) when I did this:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #TestTable WHERE MostlyZero = 0 AND MostlyZero > 0
I also tried the same on several other tables that are set up similarly (large amount of zeros in an INT column) and I always got a constant scan and didn't do an implicit conversion.
why the query engine is interpreting this 0 as something other than an INT and doing an implicit conversion when getting the count in the scenario above? What can be done to protect against it? In the above scenario, an IF @ID > 0 statement was placed before the code including the count since there was no reason to even run the code if the @ID was equal to zero.
I am facing a problem while using SQL Server with VB application.Implicit conversion from datatype text to nvarchar is not allowed.Use the convert function to run this query.When i see the trace file, i see one stored procedure called but nolines of code get executed, and immediately after that the ROLLBACKTRANSACTION occurs and the applications fails.But to my surprise i am able to do the same thing on a differentmachine using the same application and the same database on the sameserver with the same user id.Can anyone explain the reason of occurance of this problem.I require this very urgently, so i will be oblized if anyone can comeup with a quick response.Kind Regards,Amit Kumar

I'm importing data from a text table, into a temp table, and then on to a final working table. I'm running into difficulty converting data from text into a 'datetime' format. I'm getting the following error:
"Arithmetic overflow error" when trying to convert into a column with the data type "DateTime"
I half expected it to reject all conversions into a Date format because of the source file being in text format, but it allows this conversion in other columns.
If I switch the Data type to 'nvarchar' instead of 'datetime' it converts and pops up with a date format.
My question is: Will this nvarchar that looks like a date behave like a date? For example, if someone tries to perform a calculation with a date format, will the nvarchar suffice, or would it cause problems?
I have created an SSIS package to run on a SQL 2005 server. This SSIS pkg was migrated from 2000 to 2005. There a Data transform task in that package to transfer data from a tbl on one server to another. In source tbl, datatype is text, and in dest (2005 tbl) datatype is nvarchar(1000). This data transfer worked just fine , in 2000 but in 2005 it is giving the foll error. But when I run my package, i get back the following error 'Column "xxx" cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types'.
I tried using the data covnersion task, to convert to DT-STR, But is still failing.
I am getting the following error when I try to do a simple data conversion of columns, the columns I am converting are integer and nvarchar and I am converting them into DT_str.

I am transferring data from a Flat file source to SQL Database. Initially I got validation error saying

The destination in SQL has the field in "datetime" format.
So i used a "Data Conversion" task to transform the fields, thereby resolving the validation errors. But when i Execute the dtsx I get the following error :

I'm trying to convert a column from a varchar(14) to float, some of the rows contain some non-numeric characters. I've tried to write a cursor to step through the records, run cast(col1 as float) on each record, then use if @@error <> 0 to capture an error but it doesn't work. It steps through fine but when the cast command fails it ends the execution of the script with "Error converting data type varchar to float."
How can i capture this error without having the script fail? Is there another way to get this done?
hello, I am working on an application that will import data from ascii tab-delimited files into corresponding tables in a sql server 2005 express db. The problem I am facing is that i get errors when running bulk insert. The tables all have one extra column which is a primary key identity value. Additionaly, the column data types include: int, bigint, nchar, nvarchar, datetime and bit an example table looks like this:
So, what I do is: 1. for each table I generate a character format file with the following command: bcp mydb..table format nul -f tableformat.fmt -c -T -S hostsqlexpress 2. I modify the format file to exclude the first identity column by zeroing the field length, the column order and terminator. The resulting format file looks like this:
3. I run BULK INSERT BULK INSERT tablename FROM dataFile WITH ( FIRSTROW=2, FORMATFILE = formatFile DATAFILETYPE = 'char' FIELDTERMINATOR=' ' ROWTERMINATOR=' ' KEEPNULLS )
As a result of the above configuration I get this:

What am I doing wrong here? With previous configurations I got errors about the BIT fields. In general, I only receive errors... The only thing that worked was with a table that only had nvarchar. Is there a fundamental mistake in what i do? I have read many posts, but nothing specific about handling different data types with bcp and bulk insert. I would appreciate any help, as I am running out of time Thank you.

I modify the format file to exclude the first identity column by zeroing the field length, the column order and terminator. The resulting format file looks like this:
3. I run BULK INSERT BULK INSERT tablename FROM dataFile WITH ( FIRSTROW=2, FORMATFILE = formatFile, DATAFILETYPE = 'char', FIELDTERMINATOR=' ', ROWTERMINATOR=' ', KEEPNULLS )
As a result of the above configuration I get this:
Msg 4864, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 2, column 5 (StartDate). Msg 4864, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 3, column 5 (StartDate).

What am I doing wrong here? With previous configurations I got errors about the BIT fields. In general, I only receive errors... The only thing that worked was with a table that only had nvarchar. Is there a fundamental mistake in what i do? I have read many posts, but nothing specific about handling different data types with bcp and bulk insert. I would appreciate any help, as I am running out of time Thank you.
Here is what I get. Is this an install problem or is this how this software works??

I am inserting rows using OLEDBDestination and want to redirect all error rows to EXCEL Destination.
I have used Data Conversion Transformation to Convert all strings to Unicode string fields before sending it to Excel Destination.
But its gives the following error.
[Data Conversion [16]] Error: Data conversion failed while converting column 'A' (53) to column "Copy of A" (95). The conversion returned status value 8 and status text "DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE".
[Data Conversion [16]] Error: The "output column "Copy of A" (95)" failed because error code 0xC020908E occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "Copy of A" (95)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
Can someone please tell me what should I do to make it work?
I was under the impression or i always got following entries in SQL Agent error log when server restart and there are some entries in sql error log as well which confirms that server restarted. but today when i was checking error log i saw same entreis in SQL agent error log but there were no entries in server error log. now i got really confused whether my server is restarted or not........... because if it is restarted then there must be some messages in server error log..... can some one please let me know when and why following messages appear in SQL Agent Error Log

I have a DTS that pulls data in from a table in MysQL and inserts it into a tablle in SQL Server. it's failing when I run the step with the "requestd conversion is not supported" error, but when testing each single column copy in the Data Transformation step, it passes.
I just want an exact copy of the data.
the source MySQL table is....
CREATE TABLE `entry` ( `web_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `web_name` varchar(40) NOT NULL default '', `web_email` varchar(60) NOT NULL default '', `web_cli` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '', `web_pu_id` varchar(60) default NULL, `web_answer` varchar(60) NOT NULL default '', `web_ddi` varchar(30) default NULL, `web_time_entered` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00', `web_ip_address` varchar(20) default NULL, `web_entry_status` set('failed','success') NOT NULL default '', `web_polled` enum('true','false') default 'false', PRIMARY KEY (`web_id`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM;
and the SQl Server destination is....
CREATE TABLE [entry] ( [web_id] [int] NOT NULL , [web_name] [varchar] (23) NOT NULL , [web_email] [varchar] (37) NOT NULL , [web_cli] [varchar] (15) NOT NULL , [web_pu_id] [varchar] (15) NULL , [web_answer] [text] NOT NULL , [web_ddi] [varchar] (11) NULL , [web_time_entered] [datetime] NOT NULL , [web_ip_address] [varchar] (15) NULL , [web_entry_status] [varchar] (15) , [web_polled] [varchar] (15) NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY] GO
