DB2 To SQL 2005 Conversion Issue
Dec 20, 2007
I am currently doing conversion of a set of Mainframe DB2 applications to a SQL 2005 platform. I have run into an issue of transfering fields with low-values to the SQL platform. The DB2OLEDB provider seems to be translating this 0x00 values to 0x20 values. I want to keep the low values. There are many key fields that are padded by both spaces and low-values. When they are all converted to spaces I start receiving Duplicate Key problems even though the mainframe sees these as totally different fields.
Is there a way to get those low-values to convert to the sql platform.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Everyone, thank you for taking the time to read my post. I'm creating a view in SQL Server 2005 to base a report on Crystal Reports XI. I've been trying to figure out how I can convert a date field in the format YYYYMMDD to MM/DD/YYYY. I'm not quite sure about the steps I need to take to accomplish this since I'm pretty new to this. The date is stored as an Int on the database, and I've tried converting it directly to the DATETIME data type like this: CONVERT(DATETIME, datefield,101) but I'm getting an error saying illegal data type conversion. Thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate it.

Hi All,
I have restored a SQL 2000 DB in a SQL 2005 server. The views which were converting a varchar to string was working fine in 2000 and in 2005 the views are giving a "error converting varchar to datetime" error.
Any ideas to rectify this issue?

I have a db in SQL server 2000 developer edition. I am using Visual Studio 2005 standard, and also VWD Express. I would like to just access the database that is in SQL server 2000 so I can get on with developing the site, but VS2005 refuses to recognize the instance. It recognizes 2005 instances right away.The services are all running, the network protocols are enabled, uid's/pw all of that is correct. I am getting the "named pipes" error (the named pipes protocol is enabled).Any suggestions? I'd really rather just work with the db as-is in SQL 2000. But I can't get it to connect. I can connect to it if I export it to SQL 2005, (on the same development machine) but can't get the stored procs over to the 2005 db. So my web app is not finding the stored procs and won't run.Do I need to uninstall SQL 2005 from this box if I want to use SQL 2000?Thanks,--Donnie

Hello, I'm running an MS SQL 2005 database which supports our entire website and it's fairly huge. I seem to have lost the sa password for the database.
I COULD get it back if there was a way to convert the SQL 2005 DB to an SQL 2000 DB, seeing as how I found a password cracker for that version. Is there anyway to convert a 2005 DB back to a 2000 DB?
Does anyone have any other ideas they might want to lay on me?
I'm kind of sick about this... I'm usually a really good note-taker; In fact, I do have the sa password recorded in an IT database that I keep. Unfortunately the password just doesn't work. I've tried the caps lock and other variations, but the password just eludes me.
Thanks for your help,
Chris

Does anyone know of a reference site where I can find a reference table to get a better idea of data type conversions that I should be using?
I have a MySQL 5.0 database which had a lot of tables (mostly empty) that I already have gotten transferred to SQL Server 2005. However, I am suspicious of some of the data type conversions that SQL Server did.
I would really like a good web site to bookmark to help me with this if there is such a reference. Can anyone help?
If not, the most specific example I have right now is a MySQL column that is expecting to accept currency and the MySQL data type is "Double". SQL Server 2005 translated this as a "float" data type. I normally use a "decimal" data type.

I recently needed to upgrade a sql 2000 machine to 2005. Instead ofupgrading the sql 2000 default instance, I installed sql 2005 as aseparate named instance so we could go back to sql 2000 if necessary.The web server that connected to the new server didn't have anythingchange on it except the database ip was changed tomachinenameinstancename instead of just machinename. SQLauthentication was being used and the exact same userid/password wascreated on sql 2005. I logged into the database server using the sameuserid/pass to confirm it worked.However, when using the app, it reported "Login failure for: username"error and I confirmed 600 times over the next two hours that it was infact correctly typed in. The "State" in the sql server log indicated apassword mismatch, but again, it was correct and I verified it workedusing the sql 2005 management studio from the web server itself.Finally I had the bright idea of making the password blank, figuring itwas getting mangled somewhere in the process...That worked. So my question is, what is going on and how can I set anormal password? There is no encryption of the connection string andnothing changed in the web app between converting the machine from 2000(worked fine) to 2005 (password mismatch).

Hi all
I am migrating some DTS2000 packages to SSIS via the migration wizard. However there is an activex script in each DTS that connects to an AS400 to retrieve record count for integrity checking. Under SQL server 2000 this worked fine but now it errors with "The OLE DB provider "MSADSQL" has not been registered" how do i get this to work i suspect its because this is a 32 bit dll and my new system is a 64bit sql server on windows 2003. The odbc driver for the as400 has been installed also. The script is as follows:
dim cn 'sql connection
dim rs 'sql recordset for the insertion of new as400 records
dim insertstr 'sql insert string
dim rs1 'sql recordset for the insertion of new as400 records
dim insertstr1 'sql insert string
set cn = createobject("ADODB.Connection")
set rs = createobject("ADODB.Recordset")
Function Main()
'set up connection for sql
cn.provider="sqloledb"
cn.commandtimeout = 3600 'timeout in seconds
cn.open %sqlserver05%, %user%, %password%
'populate temporary table in sql with recordset from as400 odbc
insertstr1 = "Insert into db.dbo.%table% select 'table name',a.* from openrowset ('MSDASQL','DRIVER={Client Access ODBC Driver (32-bit)};SYSTEM=%system name%;UID=%username%;PWD=%password%','SELECT count(*) from %table%') as a"
set rs1 = cn.execute (insertstr1)
'close all objects
cn.close
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
End Function
Does anyone know how i change this to work under sql server 2005. i need to resolve this quickly in order to deliver a project on time. Many thanks
Chris

I am converting an Access 2003 database into SQL 2005 Express for purposes of evaluating the SQL server environment as a future home for my data. One of the motivating factors in the conversion is the integration of LINQ with VB 2008.
Assuming that there was no conversion tool to migrate Access forms for use with SQL and VB 2008, I converted the Access data table and used the VB 2008 form designer to databind textbox controls to fields in the converted SQL database. Here are some basic questions:
The conversion from Access to SQL apparently did not include the default numeric formatting (currency, percentage, etc.) which was part of the Access data table. Is there a place in the SQL server environment to supply a default data format so that forms and reports referencing the field do not need to be manually formatted for each reference?
After converting the data table and spending 2 hours designing the dataform for the 80+ fields, I inadvertantly changed the table structure and found that the dataform was not happy (oops). I corrected the databindings manually for the few errant field references, but wonder if there is some wizard to do this automatically?
Is there a way to print out the dataform itself? I used the following code snippet in my Access form code-behind and I wonder if there is an equivalent VB 2008 function:
Code Snippet
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 8, , acMenuVer70
DoCmd.PrintOut acSelection
Finally, Access can instantly change from dataform to datasheet presentation screens. Can this be done in VB 2008 with two views simultaneously presenting the same SQL data?
Please excuse my naivete, but in contrast to Access 2003 where program functionality is encapsulated into readily apparent controls, menus, and dialogs, the SQL server environment seems foreign, spartan, and all the words are different. Thanks, -BGood

We downloaded and installed the trial software of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise edition a month ago. We have purchased a fully licensed version of SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and would like to apply the licensed version to our workstation clients since their SQL software will eventually expire. Our SQL Server is not an issue since we purchased a new Server and installed the new licensed version of SQL on it.
Is there an easy way to accomplish this or is an uninstall & reinstall of SQL on every workstation required?
Thanks,

Hello,
I am wondering what conversion rules apply, when a string, which contains a number, is saved to a SQL Server 2005 into a column of type decimal.
This is the code I€™m using (C++):
CString cValue = "0.75"
_variant_t vtFieldValue;
vtFieldValue = _variant_t(cValue)
pRecordSet->Fields->Item["MyColumn"]->Value = vtFieldValue;
"pRecordSet" is an ADO recordset. The database column "MyColumn" is of type "decimal(19,10)".
The most important question for me is, if the regional settings of the database server or the regional settings of the client PC are considered during the conversion from the string to the decimal value. For example in standard French regional settings the "." would not be recognized as decimal separator.
I am also wondering if the language of the database instance, in which this data is saved, is considered during this conversion or any other settings of this database instance.
So my general question is: Does anybody know exactly what rules apply during the above mentioned conversion?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Volker

I Have developed a windows application with an SQL server 2005 database.
Now I want to publish that application BUT I want to make that database an SQL CE one.
In other words, I want to make the users able to download the application with the database without having to download SQL EXPRESS from the net or so....But instead have the Database embedded with the instllation package together with the SQL CE.
1. What is the best way i can transfere the data (Tables and their data) from ordinary SQL server 2005 .mdf files to some place where it can work with SQL CE ?
2. How to embedd the data base and the SQL CE within the installtion package ?

Hi Experts,
I am extracting data from SQL Server 2005 to flat file destination. I am using SQL Command to specify the data selection query. One of my query uses Replicate function to derive a column value. When I execute this package it fails with the error "Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "value" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page".
The reason for the problem is that, it is taking the InputColumnWidth of the flat file destination as 8000 and I specified the OutputColumnWidth as 4.
If I change the OutputColumnWidth to 8000, it is working without any error but resulting in the column width of 8000.
I tried using DerivedColumn Transformation's Type cast and DataConversion Transformation but still I am getting the same error in the respective Transformation components.
Can anyone suggest how to solve this issue.

just wondering if anyone out there has any advice or feedback regarding an upgrade conversion from 6.5 to 7.0 via the wizard? is this as straightforward as it sounds?
the only bad thing i have heard is when an upgrade is done from 6.5 to 7.0 and the 6.5 database utilized system tables . . . any feedback would be sincerely appreciated.

Hello, I would like to convert some of the rows in a column that has a data type of int to a decimal. Should I change the data type of the whole field to decimal or numeric, it seems like no matter what I do I cannot get certain rows to come up with a decimal number even though when I run a cast or convert it gives me the correct number of rows affected when I look at the data it is still in int format. Although this seems simple I am not having any luck getting this to work. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Techies,
We had a database MS-Access with DAO statements and we are upgrading our Database to MS-SqlServer which in need to convert the DAO statements to ADO statements.
What i want to know is there any free tool which converts automatically to convert DAO statements to ADO statements. If so what is it?
If not what is the easiest procedure to convert or otherwise should I have to do it manually convert all those DAO statements(so many). If I have to do it manually can u explain where i need to take care mainly while converting the statements.
Thank U

Hi!
I have a Fact_ETL process with several Lookups.
I need to compare a ID-string datatype DT_14 from OLE DB Source to string DT_18 from Dim_salesperson. Then I would collect the ID's from Dim_salesperson into OLE DB Destination. Tried to convert DT_14 to DT_18 before Lookup. No, not working. Decimal[DT_Decimal] not working either...
I would be so grateful if someone could give an idea...

Hi,I keep getting the error:System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '@qty' to data type int. When I initiate the insert and update.I tried adding a: Convert.ToInt32(TextBox1.Text), but it didn't work..
