DTS Of Data Between Two Tables, Same Field Names But Differnt Datatypes
Jul 23, 2005
I need to migrate data from one sql database to another. The second DB
is a newer version of the "old" database with mostly the same tables
and fieldnames. In order support some reporting queries in the "new"
version I needed to change the datatype of a few fields from varchar to
int(the data stored was integers already as they were lookup tables).
DTS works great except in the cases of about 10 fields which I changed
the datatypes on from varchar to int.
DTS seems to drop the data if the fieldname and datatype are not an
exact match. Is there any way to use DTS and have it copy data from a
field call subsid type varchar to a field call subsid type int?
I have a tables called subsid that I need to change the datatype fromtext to int.I think I got them all but is there a query I can run that will checkall fields call subsid accross all tables that are of type text.
Hi, I have two different tables that I want to insert into, i have the code (as below) my only problem is i want to insert a qty into tbl_multi and a different qty into tbl_stock, how do i do this. I have been comfusing myself with it all afternoon, maybe someone can point it out for me int i = 0; int scount = 0;for (i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {if (((TextBox)FormView1.FindControl("txtP1_" + i.ToString())).Text != "") {string sConnMAXID = "Data Source=sql380.mysite4now.com;Initial Catalog=nashdfDB1;User ID=******;Password=******"; SqlConnection objConnOID = new SqlConnection(sConnMAXID);int intStockIDMAX = (Convert.ToInt32(Session["intMAXSID"])) + 1; int intQtyP1 = Convert.ToInt32(((TextBox)FormView1.FindControl("txtP1_" + i.ToString())).Text);int intLocationP1 = Convert.ToInt32(((DropDownList)FormView1.FindControl("ddlP1_" + i.ToString())).SelectedValue); scount = intQtyP1 + scount;using (objConnOID) { objConnOID.Open();string sqlInsert = "INSERT INTO tbl_stock_multi_location(stock_ID, qty, location) " + "VALUES (@stock_ID, @qty, @location);"; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< need to try and add the SQL onto the end here //INSERT INTO tbl_stock(qty)" +// "SELECT qty AS SQTY FROM tbl_stock VALUES (@SQTY);";
SqlCommand objCmd1 = new SqlCommand(sqlInsert, objConnOID); objCmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("@stock_ID", intStockIDMAX); objCmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("@qty", intQtyP1);objCmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("@location", intLocationP1); // objCmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("@tbl_stock.qty", scount); <<<<<<< this was the param that i was playing about with // either will work // objCmd1.ExecuteNonQuery(); objCmd1.ExecuteScalar(); objConnOID.Close();
tblOpenSiteDates Site: int OpenDate: smalldate Comment: VarChar
tblCloseSiteDates Site: int CloseDate: smalldate Comments: VarChar newLocationID: int
I am trying to get a view which would display a site with the open and close dates. Null is ok for a close date for those opens that are still open.. not every office has an open date and close date.. it is possible to have just a close date and not an open date (ie unsure of open date but I know its closing)
so the output would be
viewOpenCloseSites Site: int opendate: smalldate closedate: smalldate
So I have an MDX query in an SSRS data set. Here is my MDX query:
Code SnippetSELECT { [Measures].[Gross Sales Amount USD], [Measures].[Net Sales Amount USD] } ON COLUMNS, { ([Promotion].[Media Property].[Promo Code Description].ALLMEMBERS) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOMEMBER(@BeginDateConvert, CONSTRAINED) : STRTOMEMBER(@EndDateConvert, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@PromotionMediaProperty, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( { [Promotion].[Campaigns].[Campaign].&[Paid Partner] } ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( { [Products].[Product Line].[Line].&[Merchandise] } ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( { [BusinessUnit].[Business Unit].[Product Business Unit].&[40] } ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Net Sales]))))) WHERE ( [BusinessUnit].[Business Unit].[Product Business Unit].&[40], [Products].[Product Line].[Line].&[Merchandise], [Promotion].[Campaigns].[Campaign].&[Paid Partner] ) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS
This query returns 4 fields. Media Property, Promo Code Description, Gross Sales, and Net Sales. For the given query the measures are empty or null. I do not want any data to show up when the measures are null so I put in NON EMPTY clauses before the COLUMNS and before the ROWS. So now my query looks like this: (I only added the NON EMPTY clauses)
Code Snippet SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Gross Sales Amount USD], [Measures].[Net Sales Amount USD] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY{ ([Promotion].[Media Property].[Promo Code Description].ALLMEMBERS) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOMEMBER(@BeginDateConvert, CONSTRAINED) : STRTOMEMBER(@EndDateConvert, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@PromotionMediaProperty, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( { [Promotion].[Campaigns].[Campaign].&[Paid Partner] } ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( { [Products].[Product Line].[Line].&[Merchandise] } ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( { [BusinessUnit].[Business Unit].[Product Business Unit].&[40] } ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Net Sales]))))) WHERE ( [BusinessUnit].[Business Unit].[Product Business Unit].&[40], [Products].[Product Line].[Line].&[Merchandise], [Promotion].[Campaigns].[Campaign].&[Paid Partner] ) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS
Adding the NON EMPTY returns nothing... not even field names. This is a problem because, I have a table in the report that looks at this data set and when there are no fields, the report can't run.
How can I still have NON EMPTY functionality and still show the fields? Is this a problem in SSRS?
Hi All. I apologise if i have not posted this in the correct Topic before i start. But was uncertain where to post this query. This is my first project in ASP.NET, MS Visual Web Developer 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express. I have relatively little experience, so please bare with me. I have the table below:- Column Name Data Type OrderID intOrderNo intInvoiceNo varchar(50)PurchaseDate smalldatetimeCost moneyInsure money I wish to have a dropdownlist on an aspx page display the OrderNo and the Cost e.g. 12345 £3.50. I have tried the SQL Statement below but that just calculates the addition of both. SELECT OrderNo + ' ' + Cost AS Expr1 FROM [Order] Do i have to convert them both to string/varchar first? If so, how? Thanks for your replies.
I am using the following select statement to get the row count from SQL linked server table.
SELECT Count(*) FROM OPENQUERY (CMSPROD, 'Select * From MHDLIB.MHSERV0P')
MHDLIB is the library name in IBM DB2 database. The above query gives me only the row count of table MHSERV0P. However, I need to get the names, rowcounts, and sizes of all tables that exist in MHDLIB librray. Is it possible at all?
I am trying to join two tables together, on the same field except they have different data types, see the properties below
Code: TableCOLUMN_NAMEDATA_TYPECHARACTER MAXIMUM LENGTHCHARACTER OCTET LENGTHCHARACTER SET NAMECOLLATION NAME 1itemClassnvarchar 512 1024 UNICODE Latin1_General_CI_AI 2PGCode varchar 3 3 iso_1 Latin1_General_CI_AS in the code for the join,
Code: left join common.dbo.qryPRDGroupDets on CAST(qryData_GB1_ByColumn.itemclass as varchar(3)) = Cast(common.dbo.qryPRDGroupDets.PGCode as varchar(3))
I have tried using the CAST function on one side of the join then on both, to no avail...
Firstly I consider myself quite an experienced SQL Server user, andamnow using SQL Server 2005 Express for the main backend of mysoftware.My problem is thus: The boss needs to run reports; I have designedthese reports as SQL procedures, to be executed through an ASPapplication. Basic, and even medium sized (10,000+ records) reportingrun at an acceptable speed, but for anything larger, IIS timeouts andquery timeouts often cause problems.I subsequently came up with the idea that I could reduce processingtimes by up to two-thirds by writing information from eachcalculationstage to a number of tables as the reporting procedure runs..ie. stage 1, write to table xxx1,stage 2 reads table xxx1 and writes to table xxx2,stage 3 reads table xxx2 and writes to table xxx3,etc, etc, etcprocedure read final table, and outputs information.This works wonderfully, EXCEPT that two people can't run the samereport at the same time, because as one procedure creates and writesto table xxx2, the other procedure tries to drop the table, or read atable that has already been dropped....Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get around thisproblem?I have thought about generating the table names dynamically using'sp_execute', but the statement I need to run is far too long(apparently there is a maximum length you can pass to it), and evenbreaking it down into sub-procedures is soooooooooooooooo timeconsuming and inefficient having to format statements as strings(replacing quotes and so on)How can I use multiple tables, or indeed process HUGE procedures,withdynamic table names, or temporary tables?All answers/suggestions/questions gratefully received.Thanks
Hi Can anyone point me to a document somewhere that shows a mapping ofSQL Server 2000 datatypes to C datatypes? I am writing some extendedstored procedures which need to be able to process pretty much anydata type, so I want to make sure I am taking them from SRVPROC andstoring them in the correct C data type.Thanks,Bruce
I'm importing some data from an excel file to sql server 2005.
I created an Excel Data Source inside my Data Flow Task but it is assuming that the source columns DataType is double-precision float [DT_R8]. It isn't, even though some rows may containg numeric string in the column's cell.
If I go to the Data Sources advanded editor, and modify the data type property of the column, SSIS complains the the error output and the source output are not of the same DataType. If I try to change the error output's data type in the advanced editor I get this error: "Property Value". The deailed error states:
Error at MOVIM 04 [MOVIM 04 [1]]: The data type for "output "Excel Source Error Output" (10)" cannot be modified in the error "output column "Agente Protector" (7662)".
Error at MOVIM 04 [MOVIM 04 [1]]: Failed to set property "DataType" on "output column "Agente Protector" (7662)".
If i let SSIS correct the error by itself, it changed the dource column back to double-precision float [DT_R8].
Is there anyway to determine what the resulting Field Names are going to be from a SQL Statement?
For example: SELECT TABLE1.FIELD1, TABLE1.FIELD2, TABLE1.FIELD3, TABLE2.FIELD1 AS ANOTHERNAME FROM TABLE1 INNER JOIN TABLE2 ON TABLE1.PK = TABLE2.FK
resulting field names: FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3 ANOTHERNAME
Seems easy enough splitting all values before "FROM" by comma and doing some manipulation to remove table names and anything before the word "AS". However, it gets more difficult when you have complex CASE statements embedded in you query that may also contain commas.
Just a shot in the dark because I don't know if anyone has already done something like this before.
Howdy all,I'm wishing to write a stored proc to return only the field names from a table. What I've tried gets the field names but also returns all of the data in each row. I only want the field names. Is this possible?Thanks!JP
This is a followup to my last post. If a field name is changed in the database, what is the easiest way to determine what stored procedures and triggers that reference that field are now broken?
Hi,We have a database with some tables with (what I woulddenote as) 'referred field names'.Like this:DataTable1 with fields F1, F2, F3DataTable2 with fields F3, F4, F5DataTable3 with fields F1, F5, F2We also have a table with field namesFieldNameTable with fields FIELD, NAMEcontaining data like:FIELD NAME----------------F1 FieldName1F2 FieldName2F3 FieldName3F4 FieldName4F5 FieldName5Now, we need a way to query the data of these tables, butthe result of the query should show the 'referred field names'from the FieldNameTable.For example, querying DataTable3 should produce the outputFieldName1 FieldName5 FieldName2------------------------------------------... ... ...... ... ...Any idea how (and whether) this can be done with an SQL query?Thanks in advance for tips & tricks.Dirk Vdm
Is it possible to get data-type,default-value, etc. (basically schema information) of columns in a particular query.This is something similar to what we get when we execute the following
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'Employees'
But instead of TABLE_NAME i would like to give a query like
SELECT [EmployeeID],[LastName],[FirstName] from [dbo].[Employees] order by [EmployeeID].
I can't seem to find a sample code, either here or on the net - - so I'll go ahead and ask...
What I'm looking for is a sample of how to query a database, so that I can populate a listbox with the table names from a database - - and then, populate another listobx with the field names from the database, in order to build a user-driven sql statement builder....
either of the above (at least the field name part) - either a code sample, or a link, will be greatly appreciated) - -
I need a statement or sp that will display, for a given user database, an individual table's fieldnames, datatype, and length. Any help is appreciated. Randy
USE MLS select sc.name,f.field#,fdesc,flong from sysobjects so join syscolumns sc on so.id = sc.id join fld f on f.field# = replace(sc.name,'_','') where so.name = 'dbo.tbl_MLS_Leads_Trans'
I am trying to get the description which is flong and I get the following error message:
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 Invalid object name 'fld'.
Hi,I am trying to create a stored procedures (SQL 7.0), to provide dataina crosstab format.(I'm using Crystal Reports 8.5, but the Crosstab capabilities areterrible, so I have to do as much as possible on the SQL side)I have a table [Occurrences] with the following fields:Year (int)Month (int)Occurs (int)Claims (int)I need a query to give me the following format:Acct_Month 2001 2002 2003Occurs Claims Occurs Claims Occurs ClaimsJanuary 120 180 132 196 110 140February 154 210 165 202 144 178March etc.......Catch! I need the Year field name to be the contents of the fieldYear in the Table (2001, 2002, 2003...). Not the usual Year_1, Year_2approach.I got the month name ok...Acct_Month = DATENAME(month, Convert(Varchar(2), Month) + '/01/'+Convert(Char(4),Year))Is it possible to do this easely, without the use of cursors?Any help would be much appreciated.Luis Pinto
is there any "robust" way to find out the name of a field in the pipeline by it's Lineage ID programatically? There is a sample code out there (on one of the blogs) but it seams not to be reliable...
The usecase is easy... What is the field name in an error output of that column that causes the error? We don't want to have hardcoded LineageIDs in the error handling so I think it's the best idea to go with field names... However we only get that LineageID...
How canI get all field names in a table using sql query? Now I am not interested in the data in this table, what I am interested in is just the schema, i.e. all field names. Thanks.
While creating a view in SQl Server 2005 Management Studio Or Interation Services on a SQL Server 2000 database using "*" something very strange happens. Has anyone every seen this happen before?
The new view is created something like the following:
CREATE VIEW [dbo].[new_view]
AS
SELECT * FROM Table1
GO
However, when right-clicking on the new view, and choosing "Design", the SELECT scrambles the field names with aliases of the other field names. When the view is run, the result set is incorrect. It may look something like the following:
SELECT Field1, Field2 AS Field3, Field3 AS Field4, Field4 AS Field5, . . . From Table1
I am having two datasets in the same report, the column names are the same, in both the datasets, Now How can I use the individual fields in same report. If I use (Fields!xyz.Value, "dsDataSet1") and (Fields!xyz.Value, "dsDataSet2") It is giving me syntax error.
How can I use both these fieds, I do not want any aggregates
I have been trying to get this code work, but I could not. Every thing seems going well. However, The result of running the sql query is strange. It shows the field names twice. Eg:) if you have a table called "newtable" that has two fields[Custnumber, Custname], you will get somthing like this [Custnumber, Custname Custnumber, Custname]. I have tried many times, but I couldn't fix it.
Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) handles Mybase.Load
if not page.Ispostback then
try Sqlconnection = New Sqlconnection (connectionString)
querystring = "SELECT COLUMN_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNs WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'Newtable'"
SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(queryString, Sqlconnection)
I am in a situation where I need to find out unique field names with different values in a table having 200+ columns. Let's say I have two rows with 200+ columns ( I exported these rows from Lotus Notes to SQL Server) I am not sure what columns makes unique of these rows. It's going to be tedious by checking each column values. Is there anyway I can write a squl query on these two rows which outputs column names which are having unique values. I would appreciate If anybody gives me hint about achieving desired result
for debug purposes i tried to copy paste some Query Analyser output into Excel... the data pastes fine, but i can't get the field-names to copy/paste. is there a trick? izy
