SQL/SERVER 2000:
Data transform task which copies data from a text file to a db table.
Text file field value = 0000000242E (signed decimal)
DB column data type = decimal(11,2)
How do I get this value correctly converted? Getting "invalid data value" error message.
thanks for any help
Hi,
I want to transfer the data from a excel spread sheet to sql server. I have used the oledb comand and it works fine, and i have also used the sqlbulkcopy and it transfers the data properly.
But in my excel spread sheet i have many columns with data as -0.76 or 0.76 or something like that but when it transfer it to sqlserver that particular column in sql server shows it as 0.00762711864406778
So how i can i tell sql server to display the data as 0.76 instead of 0.00762711864406778
any help will be appreciated.
Regards
Karen

Hello.
My database stores the decimals in Spanish format; "," (comma) as decimal separator.
I need to convert decimal nvarchar values (with comma as decimal separator) as a decimal or int.
Any Case using CAST or CONVERT, For Decimal or Int gives me the following error:
Error converting data type varchar to numeric
Any knows how to resolve.
Or any knows any parameter or similar, to indicate to the Cast or Convert, that the decimal separator is a comma instead a dot.
I'm using OpenRowSet to import about 30 columns from a csv file with 190 columns with a format file. Ultimately, I want to put this in an SSIS Package. I am receiving the following error when trying to import date and decimal info.
Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 990, column 64 (TOTALSALES). There are several similar errors. I looked at this line and it is 17873.34 so I am not seeing the problem. Every value in the column is either 0 or a 2 digit decimal value. If I change the SQL Column and format file to to NVARCHAR, it imports fine.
The existing format file and SQL Column looks as follows. There are multiple errors referring to different columns and all of them seem to be valid decimals. I am having the same issue with date fields that exist in the csv as 20130521. If I bring it in as text, it is fine.
<FIELD COLLATION="SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" MAX_LENGTH="12" TERMINATOR="," xsi:type="CharTerm" ID="64"/>
<COLUMN xsi:type="SQLDECIMAL" SCALE="2" PRECISION="15" NAME="TOTALSALES" SOURCE="64"/>
The SQL Column is defined as Decimal ((15,2), NULL))
I created a small csv file with representative decimal, date, integer and NVarchar fields and it imports into SQL fine as decimal and date info. The SQL Query used is pretty simple. Ultimately, I am planning to create a package that imports this data and joins to a production table based on values in the csv file. It will either update existing values in a Production Table or insert New Values
INSERT INTO Import.dbo.test1
SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'C:ShareImport.csv',
FirstRow=2,
FORMATFILE='C:ShareImport.xml'
) AS t1;
I am assuming there is bad data in the csv file but I'm not sure how to identify it as my test file seems to bring in date values with a format of 20140923 and 2 digit decimal values and that is what exists in the line numbers being referenced. I've not used OpenRow Set for this purpose before. The only workaround I've found is to bring it all in as text and create additional fields so I can cast or convert the date values which I'd rather not do as this process seems to work in my small sample file.
I have a money field in SQL that when i try and get the sum of it i cannot convert it to decimal. This was working now its not, and nothing was changed.Any reason for the error?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to insert into a table from an XML file. The mapping works OK however there is a problem with one of the fields. It is field name "Length" set up as Decimal(18,2) and it stops on the first row with an error, something like "Cannot convert to decimal". The values are all integers, such as "9", etc. but I presumed SQL would convert to "9.00" for example. It has worked for another field name "Weight", where values are stored in the XML file such as "0.28", etc. Does it reject it because it's an integer and needs to be to two decimal format in the XML?

Hello I'm trying to write a SQL Statement along the lines of....
SELECT stringField + ' : ' + STR(decimalField) AS myField FROM tablename WHERE myCondition = myValue
Where stringField is a String field and decimalField is a Decimal Field in my Table.
In this statement it converts the decimal field to a string value so that it doesn't throw a conversion error but unfortunatly it seems to round up the value to an integer value and cuts off all my decimal places.
How can I get it to keep the Decimal Places?
I have a field in my database that is stored as varchar. The values are usually contain a decimal, and should have really been a float or decimal. In order for me to do analytics in my BI environment, I need to convert this to a float or decimal.

20.00

I'm trying to move records from a SQL table with a float column to a DB2 database that has the column defined as Decimal (8,2) It keeps crashing saying it has a type mismatch problem. I tried changing my source command to pass in the column already converted and it still crashes on this. I also tried doing a data conversion task to do the conversion and I still get the same error. Any ideas?

I am loading a flat file to a table but I also need to scrub the data a bit before the data hits the table. The main update required is converting a dot (.) character to a null value. The source file is using this character to indicate a blank. I know I can use the Dervived Column Transformation, but I have quite a few columns which will take a while to manually configure. Is there another transformation option that anyone can point me to?
Thanks

Hi
I am new to this forum and SSIS also.
I searched but could not find any answer here so I am posting my question.
We get some cobol text file that has Zoned Decimal also.
We want to use SSIS to convert the file in to SQL Server Database but we want to avoid using 3rd party s/w..
In DTS it was not possible..
Is it possible to convert Zoned Decimal to Decimal in SQL Server.
Thanks in advance.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am getting a date string that is contained in a character field (char(20)).
An example of the data is as follows:
2005-09-20121315001
it is in the format YYYY-MM-DDHHMMSSMMM.
I want to insert this value into a datetime field. I have used convert, but can only insert it when I split out the time portion and separate them with a colon
i.e. to get it to insert into a datetime field the data has to be in the following format
2005-09-20 13:15:18.001
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.MMM
Is there a style parameter in the convert function that will allow me to insert this value without having to separate the hours/minutes/seconds with a colon? I have tried BOL but it seems that all the examples have colons in them where there is a time portion to the date,
Thanks in advance

Hi! I need to insert character data into a SQL 2005 table in the datetime format. The strings I need to convert are in the following format: ddmmyyyy
