DTS- Destination Column Name Has Spaces Causing Error
Jan 13, 2007
I am using Advantage ODBC 6.2 to connect to a Advantage Data Server to
push data from a SQL table into this server. I can view the data from
the ADS with DTS and I can insert data by using "Insert into TempTable ("Last
Name","First Name") values ('test','test)" from a Execute SQL Statement. The issue is when I build
up a DTS package to pull from SQL into the Advantage ODBC, I get a
"missing closing ")"" error. I have narrowed it down to the column
names in the destination table having spaces (Last Name, First Name,
and a bunch of others. DBA 101 here). How do I beat this?
I have tried editing the destination column names in disconnected edit
by adding the double quotes but get a "Column Name '"Last Name"' not
found" error. Wrapping them with [] doesn't work. I think this is a
limit on Advantage.
When I try to use Advantage OLE DB, I get an 'Ace32.dll must be newer
then the other dll" error. I am afraid of upgrading Ace32.dll and not
break other things.
So with this said my two questions:
How do I get the destniation column names wrapped in double quotes when using transformations?
or
Is there a way I can do an Insert into Advantage connection(column names) values (Select Values from SQL Server connection)?
Am I new at this so please bear with me. I searched the site and found threads on identifying the meaning of an error code and have instituted that scripting. It is telling me that I have a 'The data value cannot be converted for reasons other than sign mismatch or data overflow.' error. It identifies the colum as 5301.
I searched the threads and found one telling me I could do an advanced editor search on the lineage id to find the column being referenced. I have traced the entire process using this information and cannot find a reference lineage id of 5301. Was that thread information accurate, and if so what do I do now? If not, can someone tell me how the heck I find column 5301? I cannot load my table from a flat file because of this.
Work so far:
I have checked for integrity between column definitions and source flat file. I applied derived column changes to make the data transform to the appropriate data type/order where necessary. This part works without error. (Or seems to, there is no error output from this piece.) It is only on the final attempt to load that the process errors with these messages.
I'm moving data from one database to another (INSERT INTO ... SELECT ... FROM ....) and am encountering this error:
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 6 Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
My problem is that Line 6 is:
set @brn_pk = '0D4BDE66347C440F'
so that is obviously not the problem and my query has almost 200 columns. I can go through one by one and compare what column is int in my destination table and what is varchar in my source tables, but that could take quite a while. How I can work out what column is causing the problem?
I have a SSIS package that reads data from a dump table, runs a custom script that takes date data and converts it to the correct format or nulls and formats amt fields to currency, then inserts it to a new table. The new table redirects insert errors. This process worked fine until about 3 weeks ago. I am processing just under 6 million rows, with 460,000 or so insert errors that did give error column and code.
Now, I am getting 1.5 million errors. and nothing has changed, to my knowledge. I receive the following information.
Error Code -1071607685 Error Column 0 Error Desc No status is available.
The only thing I can find for the above error code is
DTS_E_OLEDBDESTINATIONADAPTERSTATIC_UNAVAILABLE
To add to the confusion, I can not see any errors in the data written to the error table. It appears that after a certain point is reached in the processing, everything, or most records, error out.
I have created a package which transfers data from a SQL server source to an Excel Destination. The DataFlow Task works fine , if i pre-define the column names in the Excel Destination... But i run into an error when i give the blank excel sheet as my destination. I am unable to map any columns
A sample example is as shown above .. In the column mappings field only one column in the Excel shows up for mapping and eventually throws the error "[Excel Destination [42]] Error: The number of columns is incorrect. "
How do we proceed in this case , where in we do not want to give pre-defined coulmn names in the Excel Destination sheet.
I was trying to get my data from olb table to excel. but i got this error my dataflow is as follows: oledb source-> excel destination
i have got a excel file template at the destination all ready. with the column names+ the sheet all ready. but somehow it got stuck... anybody can help? thanks!
I want to add spaces (like space - len(col)) to first column so that second column will be aligned when exported to email (text).

I'm trying to simply change a column definition from Null to Not Null. It'sa multi million row table. I've already checked to make sure there are nonulls for any rows and a default has been created for the column. My log isset to autogrow and as the alter column colname char(6) Not Null runs thelog begins to grow. If I use no check BOL say the optimizer won't considerthe change. How can I change the nullability of a column that currentlycontains no nulls without using up extreme amounts of log space?Danny
i'm going nuts with this, i suppose i will crack it eventually, but i thought i'd ask around here, seems like all the smart SQL Server guys hang out here
(i'm an SQL guy, not an SQL Server guy)
how does one place 5 spaces into a CHAR(5) column? create table testzeros ( id smallint not null primary key identity , myfield char(5) ) insert into testzeros (myfield) values (' 1') insert into testzeros (myfield) values (' 11') insert into testzeros (myfield) values (' 111') insert into testzeros (myfield) values (' 1111') insert into testzeros (myfield) values ('11111') insert into testzeros (myfield) values (' ')
select id , myfield , len(myfield) as L from testzerosno matter what i do, id=6 shows up with L=0, just like an empty string
i've even tried inserting 4 spaces and a non-blank character, which enters just fine, just as you would expect, but when i update the value and replace the non-blank character with a blank, all 5 spaces collapse back to an empty string
is there some kind of server setting like SET ALL_SPACE_EQUALS_EMPTY_YOU_IDIOT to OFF or something?
I am fairly new to SQL I have started to administer a system which handles carrier information for a mail order system. The logic behind the system is quite simple there are 5 or so columns in a table the first column is the first part of the postcode i.e EX15, the other columns contain which delivery services and depot numbers are associated with that postcode. It works fine at the moment.
However now the main carrier has decided that they are now going to split these postcodes so for example EX15 1* goes to a different depot than EX15 2*
I cant seem to insert EX15 1 into the first column, I get the following error:
Attempt to store duplicate value in unique column. (-155)
Is this because of the space in 'EX15 1'? Because 'EX15' already exists in that column? In which case do I need to somehow tell SQL that there is a space there?
I hope this makes sense
Below is a snap of the table with the existing EX15 postcode data
Hi all,I am new to these so plz never mind if this is funny.here is my problem :Table : moodyColumn : TitleNew column : NospaceI have data in "Title" column of many rows which are normal sentence.My requirment is to remove the "white space", +, | , ., / , ! @, $, %etc special characters and fill it by ( hyphen) and put it in new"Nospace" ColumnExample :I have : Hurray ! I won the GameNeeded : Hurray-I-won-the-GameCan any body helpme in getting an SQL Query for this if possibleThanks in Advance
Hello,This is a simple question, hopefully with a simple answer. I havean nvarchar column of length 255. In one of the rows I have thefollowing sentance - 'See the brown ball bounce'. Is it possible touse a command to remove all of the spaces in that sentance, so thatthe sentance reads 'Seethebrownballbounce'? As you can see, I am notjust interested in getting rid of the trailing and leading spaces.Thanks,Billy
I currently have a column in a table with data type char and length 500. However, not every column fills up the entire 500 length, and I would like to fill up the rest of the spaces with dots. Is there a setting in SQL to do this? I do not want to use varchar since I want a fixed length with dots at the end. Any ideas?
Hi i hv a doubt in Sql server reporting..I do generate some reports based on some criteria.In the results screen i hv empty fields based on the search i hv generated.I need to set "0" instead of blank spaces in the fields..Can any one help me?
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
Hey all - got a problem that seems like it would be simple (and probably is : )
I'm importing a csv file into a SQL 2005 table and would like to add 2 columns that exist in the table but not in the csv file. I need these 2 columns to contain the current month and year (columns are named CM and CY respectively). How do I go about adding this data to each row during the transformation? A derived column task? Script task? None of these seem to be able to do this for me.
Here's a portion of the transformation script I was using to accomplish this when we were using SQL 2000 DTS jobs:
' Copy each source column to the destination column Function Main() DTSDestination("CM") = Month(Now) DTSDestination("CY") = Year(Now) DTSDestination("Comments") = DTSSource("Col031") DTSDestination("Manufacturer") = DTSSource("Col030") DTSDestination("Model") = DTSSource("Col029") DTSDestination("Last Check-in Date") = DTSSource("Col028") Main = DTSTransformStat_OK End Function *********************************************************** Hopefully this question isnt answered somewhere else, but I did a quick search and came up with nothing. I've actually tried to utilize the script component and the "Row" object, but the only properties I'm given with that are the ones from the source data.
W2k3 server, SQL 2005. @@version = Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 1)
I have my first SSIS package almost working, but I'm having an odd problem and can't find any information to help resolve it.
I'm importing from a flat file (csv) to an existing table (append). I've got a Derived Column transformation in the middle to do some data cleanup. It's all working except for one little problem...
One of the transformations is 'REPLACE([Column 3],"^","; ")', output to a new column. (The input file has a field that uses carets as delimiters between an unknown number of items; I'm changing that to semicolons for easier reading.) Not all rows have data in this column, some will have one item, some will have multiple items.
The REPLACE works except that it fills in repeated data for all the blank rows.
Example:
Incoming data is:
1 Smith,Jane^Jones,Jane
2 Brown,John
3
4 Adams,James^Adams,Jim
5
6 White,Debra
Data inserted into the table is:
1 Smith,Jane; Jones,Jane
2 Brown,John
3 Brown,John
4 Adams,James; Adams,Jim
5 Adams,James; Adams,Jim
6 White,Debra
I've tried to use a Conditional to skip the empty rows, but I can't get that working at all (get syntax errors no matter what I put in).
Any suggestions on how to fix this would be most appreciated!
Hi, I was wondering how I can complete a column (which doesnt have an input one) with data. For example:
I have a sql query which bring data of 3 columns
ID | FISRT NAME | LAST NAME 1 MIKE MORGAN 2 SARA JOHANES
So, I will insert that data in a FLAT FILE CONNECTION MANAGER, which I configured with 3 columns and I did the corresponding mapping in the FLAT FILE DESTINTATION.
Now, If I add one more column in the FLAT FILE CONNECTION MANAGER, I will not have it mapped to a input one, obviously. So, what I need is to add one more column to the flat file destination and complete it with zeros values in it.
Probably I can solve this part by introducing a DERIVED COLUMN and there I can configure the zeros that I want to add to the column. But I'm not sure if I can do that without having a input column. So, the question will be, how can I add one column to a flat file which doesnt have a input and introduce any value that I want to it? Hope I was clear Thanks for your help.
I'm getting the following error message on a basic copy from a datareader (using an ODBC datasource) to a sqlnativeclient. There are no transformations or anything. Don't know what is going on. Any insights are appreciated.
[SQL Server Destination [361]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E14 Description: "Could not bulk load because SSIS file mapping object 'GlobalDTSQLIMPORT ' could not be opened. Operating system error code 2(The system cannot find the file specified.). Make sure you are accessing a local server via Windows security.".
I have a stored proc I am updating in an OLEDB Command from the results of a Transform Script Component. The Stored Proc has over 65 input parameters, most of them have a NULL passed in. I dont want to create output columns in the Transform Script Component for all of them to map them from the "Available Input Columns" to "Available Destination Columns".
I want to create 3 or 4 generic Output columns for their data type - say IntegerOutput (datatype Int), DateTimeOut (datatype datetime) and so on. The I want to map these generic columns in the OLEDB Command as Available Input Columns" to multiple "Available Destination Columns" - wherever the datatype matches the input column.
But the OLEDB Command Column Mappings let me map One to One only. This will create a huge and unnecessary workload for me to develop and maintain - when I tell you I have 3 such stored procedures, all of whose interfaces are exactly same and for which I can create similar Output columns in the Transform Script Component.
The following error has started appearing consistently this week (50-100) times a day. No code has been changed in the database and I ran a trace to identify the procs executed in the time before this error.There is not any errors with the procs and the procs are running correctly. Does anyone know what is causing this and the remedy for this?
Thank You
Michael

I keep getting the following error message when I run a serie of SQLcommands:Server: Msg 9002, Level 17, State 6, Line 15The log file for database 'tempdb' is full.Back up the transaction log for the databaseto free up some log space.I have tried "dump transaction tempdb with no_log" right before I runthe SQL command.

The size of the transaction logs in bothserver are the same (and cannot be changed manually). Both the dataand the transaction log of tempdb can automatically grow in 10%increment and no restriction on size.The data-and-log of the tempdb are both in one hard disk. The harddisk has 10-GB free space available. Moreover the size of the resultset from the "select" statement above is only 530KB (around 3000 rowsin the result-set). I believe it is a very small database operation.Therefore, I don't think the size has anything to do with the error.I don't think the "inner-join" clause is the cause of the problem. Thereason is that I have used the same "inner-join" clause in otherqueries, and they don't have any problem. As a matter of fact, I haveused many other queries that are far more complicated and have createdmuch bigger result set in tempdb, and they don't have this problem.I am very puzzled of this error. Can someone give me a pointer?Thanks in advance for any info.Jay Chan
I've got a weird one here. I'm running a DTS package on SQL Server2005. It copies a bunch of stored procedures. I renamed them on theoriginating server and ran the DTS again.The came over with the old name and code!I deleted the DTS and built it from scratch, and the same thinghappened.I ran SELECT * FROM sys.objects where type = 'P' on the source serverand the names were correctI'm explicitly checking which sp to copy rather than using Copy all. Ican see the sp namesI've deleted and recreated the sp on the source server using scriptsI've checked the source server nameI've Refreshed everywhereNothing worksWhy is up_Department_GetAllBySchool trying to be be pulled over whenit doesn't exist?Why is up_Department_GetBySchool not being pulled over when it doesexist?I've heard that SQL 2005 pre-SP2 has a problem where renaming anobject that has a text definition (like sprocs, functions, triggers,views) doesn't update the definition. So if you pull that objectdefinition and run it into your new database, it will use the originalscript, which has the original name.I ransp_helptext 'up_Department_GetBySchool'and checked the CREATE statement at the top. Sure enough, it had theold textI asked our NetAdmin to install SP2 on our server. Then I ransp_refreshsqlmodule 'up_Department_GetForSchool'and got this error:Invalid object name 'up_Department_GetAllForSchool'.So even the code which was supposed to fix it, doesn't. Has anyoneelse had this problem, and managed to fix it?--John Hunter
I have a few tables I am trying to join to create a report. Everything was working fine until I tried to add an aggregate Sum function to a column (MaxCap) in table ctfBarn.Â
