FYI. Perhaps I missed it on the Fix List, but applying SP3 to my Win2K Professional workstation w/ SQL Server 7 Desktop Edition remedied a chronic error I'd been receiving when trying to open a pre-existing DTS package which resided on other servers. For weeks, no matter what I've tried, I've been getting a message box saying "Invalid Paramter". (I didn't go as far as an uninstall / re-install, but I did about everything short of that.) After applying SP3, the DTS packages open up easily.
I am running SQL 7 Svc Pack 2 on TN 4.0 Svc Pack 6a.
I am getting the following error when opening up a DTS package on my SQL Server from EM on my workstation. If I open it up on the server by using pcanywhere the package opens fine. Ther error is a dialogue box stating:
Package Error
Error Source:Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package Error Description: The Parameter is incorrect.
Has anyone seen this. I get nothing in the event log or SQL logs. I can't seem to figure this one out.
While trying to execute the below query I get an error "Invalid Paramter Binding.
SELECT RELEASE_CYCLES.RCYC_NAME+' : '+ CYCL_FOLD.CF_ITEM_NAME /*Test Set Folder (CYCLE).Name*/ as "Cycle Name : Test Component", SUM(case when t3.status='Passed' then 1 else 0 end) "Passed", SUM(case when t3.status='Failed' then 1 else 0 end) "Failed", SUM(case when t3.status='Not Completed' then 1 else 0 end) "Not Completed", SUM(case when t3.status='No Run' then 1 else 0 end) "No Run", SUM(case when t3.status in ('Passed','Failed','Not Completed','No Run') then 1 else 0 end) "Total",
I am using a simple procedure to pivot results (found in another forum and adapted it). It is done on SQL Server 2005 server with all service packs. Procedure: ************** ALTER Procedure [dbo].[EthnicityPivot] @StDate as Datetime, @EndDate as Datetime as begin DECLARE @Teams varchar(2000)
truncate table ForEthnicPivot
INSERT INTO ForEthnicPivot SELECT DISTINCT COUNT(ID), Team, Ethnicity FROM dbo._EthnicityByTeamEpisode where Startdate between @StDate and @EndDate GROUP BY Ethnicity, Team
SET @Teams = '' --// Get a list of the pivot columns that are important to you.
SELECT @Teams = @Teams + '[' + Team + '],' FROM (SELECT Distinct Team FROM ForEthnicPivot) Team --// Remove the trailing comma
SET @Teams = LEFT(@Teams, LEN(@Teams)-1) --// Now execute the Select with the PIVOT and dynamically add the list --// of dates for the columns EXEC( 'SELECT * FROM ForEthnicPivot PIVOT (SUM(countID) FOR Team IN (' + @Teams + ')) AS X' ) end ************
I can call the function: exec EthnicityPivot '01/01/2007','09/09/2007'
and it works fine in SQL analyzer, but when I want to use it in Visual Studio in a new report I am getting this error message:
There is an error in the query. Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function. Incorrect syntax near ')'.
Hi i got errro mess "Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function" from this below. Anyone how can give me a hint what cause this, and how i can solve it? if i remove whats whitin thoose [] it works, i dont use [] in the code :) colums: VLF_InfectionDestination is nvarchar 254
SELECT TOP 10 tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName, COUNT(tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName) AS number FROM tb_AVVirusLog INNER JOIN __CustomerMachines002 ON tb_AVVirusLog.CLF_ComputerName = __CustomerMachines002.FalseName WHERE (CONVERT(varchar, tb_AVVirusLog.CLF_LogGenerationTime, 120) BETWEEN @fyear + @fmonth + @fday AND @tyear + @tmonth + @tday) AND (__CustomerMachines002.folder_id = @folderId) [OR (CONVERT(varchar, tb_AVVirusLog.CLF_LogGenerationTime, 120) BETWEEN @fyear + @fmonth + @fday AND @tyear + @tmonth + @tday) AND (tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_InfectionDestination LIKE N'%@%')] GROUP BY tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName HAVING (NOT (tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName LIKE N'cookie')) ORDER BY COUNT(tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName) DESC
The subject pretty much sums the problem up. I am trying to get a database installed on Server 2008 RC0. The public information says SQL 2005 SP2 should work, but I cannot get the base SQL 2005 installed in order to apply the service pack. When I run the installation, I immediately get an error when trying to install the pre-requisites. Specifically, the .NET 2.0 Framework errors with code 87, "invalid parameter".
I have found a couple references to this error code, but nothing to do with Server 2008 and RC0. I have tried using a directory with no spaces, and tried the EXE vs ISO installation, but they everything fails. I don't know if there is a way to bypass the .NET 2.0 Framework install - since it's already on the machine anyway.
An application I developed normally works great, but it seems that when processing a certian record (and none of the others so far), SQL Server throws this error: "Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function."
Private Sub setControls(ByVal dr As SqlDataReader) If (dr.Read()) Then '<--*******problem line*******
The SqlDataReader (orderReader) doesn't blow up or anything until I call .Read() (and, as mentioned, this problem only occurs for one order). What could be happening here?
CXPACKET wait type current makes up 63% of all the wait types which is causing latency. I need to identify the specific workloads responsible for waits so I can optimise or MAXDOP them. I already know how to retreived the top IO, CPU, Memory consuming queries but how do I identify the statements and order them by wait time?
Can someone point me in the direction of a command, DMV or will the top CPU list be adequate?
I have a ##temp table which collects command (varchar(120)) info from sysjobsteps table as follows: command ------------------------------ BACKUP DATABASE FDMS_11111_2 To Backup_11111_2_4Thu with init, name = 'Backup of Job_11111_2_4Thu'
Now, I need to extract the database name from the command string: It did return the correct database name but ended with error message.
select substring(command, 17, charindex(' To Backup_',Command)-17) from ##tempServerNameDatabaseNameJobHistory
I am real new to SQL Server. We are using SQL Server 2000.
My objective is to get a list of all store procedures for specific database. To accomplish this, I programmatically create a connection to the 'master' database where the sp resides, create a callablestatment for 'sp_stored_procedures' ({call sp_stored_procedures(?,?,?)}). I am passing in null, null, and the database name. When I execute the query, I get the below error:
Code:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Invalid parameter binding(s). at com.microsoft.jdbc.base.BaseExceptions.createException(Unknown Source)
When I made the connection to the master database, I used one of the existing users from the master database.
I looked at the store procedure and verified the sp has 3 input parameter. The first two can be null.
I am not sure why I can not run this sp. I am wondering if we have the database setup properly. Any help or suggestions would be well worth it at this point.
First of all... thanks for a great and interesting product... this is really nice...
I'm working with a winform app and pushing it out via click-once deployment (using the bootstrapper for SQLCompact as well)... the SQL install is fine, however when my app attempts to do anything with the db, i get an error "invalid reconciler parameter" error... some searching seems to indicate that this could be coming from the path being longer than 128chars... howeve, using click once, i'm not certain I can control the deployment location... I'm certain that there is a work around, but not sure what it is... any guidance?
As a note, running the app on the same machine using the output from VS (not installed via ClickOnce but simply running hte exe) works fine...
I have the follwoing stored procedure:ALTER procedure [dbo].[up_GetExecutionContext](@ExecutionGUID int = null) asbeginset nocount ondeclare@s varchar(500)declare @i intset @s = ''select @s = @s + EventType + ','-- Dynamically build the list ofeventsfrom(select distinct top 100 percent [event] as EventTypefrom dbo.PackageStepwhere (@ExecutionGUID is null or PackageStep.packagerunid =@ExecutionGUID)order by 1) as xset @i = len(@s)select case @iwhen 500 then left(@s, @i - 3) + '...'-- If string is too long thenterminate with '...'else left(@s, @i - 1) -- else just remove the final commaend as 'Context'set nocount offend --procedureGOWhen I run this and pass in a value of NULL, things work fine. When Ipass in an actual value (i.e. 15198), I get the following message:Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function.There is no SUBSTRING being used anywhere in the query and thedatatypes look okay to me.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!!
I've set up a data-driven subscription on a report but it's not sending and the error log says it's because:
Default value or value provided for the report parameter 'CSRFaxID' is not a valid value.
For the particular dataset record causing the error I'm passing the value Null to the report parameter. The report parameter CSRFaxID is set up with "Allow Null" and with a default value of Null. I can run the report in my browser with CSRFaxID set to null, but the scheduled subscription is not able to produce the report with the same parameter value. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is and how I can fix it?

Hi, I am new at sql 2000 and 2005, I have created a package in 2005 which I am trying to execute on a daily bases by creating a job. At first because of security issues the job would not execute. Hence, I had to create a credential and a proxy to run the job with sa account. Now it is giving me this error, €œSQLServer Error: 536, Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function. €œ Through research I have no clue as what I need to do, or where to look. The package runs without error when I execute the package itself. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lori
I am using SSRS 2008 and the reports we have use parameters of type Date/Time. Â The reports work well when the parameter values are entered correctly.
When entering an invalid date format for one of the Date/Time parameters the following error is displayed "The value provided for the report '<parameter name>' is not valid for its type. (rsReportParameterTypeMismatch). Â This seems to be working correctly as well. Â However, when the correct date format is then entered for the report parameter for which the report threw an error, the error persists and the report doesn't run again. Â Setting the parameter to "NULL" doesn't work either.
The only way to get the report to run again is to refresh the entire report. Â Of course, if at that point one has entered a bunch of other parameter values, those values all disappear.
Hello, I get the following error when I run my package interactively. From the logs written out by the driver, it appears that all is working well as far as connecting to the data source and pulling data. It seems as if this error occurs when the DataReader source tries to process the received data.

I have done DTS to transfer all the objects(entire database) from server1 to server2.When I do a select * on any user table in server2,it says invalid object name.Any idea?
I searched the archives but couldn't find anything on this yet...
I am using the wizard to grab selected data from 6.5 Server1 to insert into a table on 6.5 Server2, no transformations necessary.
I've tried it two ways (actually more, but two ways will demonstrate the problem). The query I run to grab the data is search through approx 6.5 million records in poorly indexed tables, on a slow machine. Takes approximately 45 minutes to run the query alone, and right around the same to run the DTS package.
The difference between the two queries in the two different packages (all else equal), is that the first uses a variable to calculate a date to filter the where clause. The second hard codes the date in the where clause. The second works, but the first runs about 40 minutes before returning a Transfer Failed error that reads "Invalid Pointer". No error number, nothing in the Books online about the error.
The queries are as follows: *************************************** QUERY 1 (calculates the date for 11:00 PM night before last)
select s.SerialNumber as iwSerialNumber, MAX(p.ReceiptTime) AS iwLastReceived, p.PurchaseOrderNumber as iwPO, s.Revision as iwBomRev, s.PartNumber as iwPartNumber From SLOCAZ s INNER JOIN PORDRZ p ON s.SerialNumber = p.SerialNumber Where p.ReceiptTime > @DateLastReceived And ( (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'BD%') OR (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'TP%') OR (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'DM%') ) GROUP BY s.SerialNumber, p.PurchaseOrderNumber, s.Revision, s.PartNumber
*************************************** QUERY 2 (Hard codes the date)
select s.SerialNumber as iwSerialNumber, MAX(p.ReceiptTime) AS iwLastReceived, p.PurchaseOrderNumber as iwPO, s.Revision as iwBomRev, s.PartNumber as iwPartNumber From SLOCAZ s INNER JOIN PORDRZ p ON s.SerialNumber = p.SerialNumber Where p.ReceiptTime > 'Aug 29 1999 11:00PM' And ( (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'BD%') OR (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'TP%') OR (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'DM%') ) GROUP BY s.SerialNumber, p.PurchaseOrderNumber, s.Revision, s.PartNumber
***************************** I should also note that I thought maybe the hard coded date being used as a string was the difference, so I tried the following (which just converts the date back into a char variable and uses the char variable in the where clause)
select s.SerialNumber as iwSerialNumber, MAX(p.ReceiptTime) AS iwLastReceived, p.PurchaseOrderNumber as iwPO, s.Revision as iwBomRev, s.PartNumber as iwPartNumber From SLOCAZ s INNER JOIN PORDRZ p ON s.SerialNumber = p.SerialNumber Where p.ReceiptTime > @CharLastReceived And ( (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'BD%') OR (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'TP%') OR (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'DM%') ) GROUP BY s.SerialNumber, p.PurchaseOrderNumber, s.Revision, s.PartNumber
************************************ This still didn't work...
Any Ideas on what is happening and/or how to fix it??? Amy
We are in the process of installing a new Server which has SQL 2000 on it. I transferred everything over from a SQL 7.0 server. I am in the process of updating my DTS packages. I have to go in and change the connections. THe first package worked fine. I've gone into about 5 others and am getting the following error: Error Description: unspecified error [IBM] Client Access Express ODBC Driver (32 Bit) Invalid Argument Value
I can change the server connection fine. But if I click on the tranformation and properties thats when I get this error.
This is my syntax, I have removed then added back line by line by line and determined it is the insert of the variable into the table that skews.
Code: Create Table #Table1 (ID Int Identity, p nvarchar(20)) Create Table #Table2 (date datetime, salesID int, p varchar(20)) Insert into #Table1 Values ('ZeroWireless') Declare @Str nvarchar(4000), @p nvarchar(20) Select @p = p From #Table1
Im trying to create a new table from a union all statement, im pretty sure this is the way you do it:
insert into Test_table select * from Tb1 union all select * from Tb2
However im receiving a invalid object name error. Doing a search on this forum i read it might be to do with not having tb1 or tb2 in the same database, but both select statements and the union work, just not the insert or creating a new table from the results. Any suggestions will be greatful. Champinco
