Hello everyone,
I have spent hours trying to figure out the validation issue with SQL Server Reporting Services with no luck.I am hoping someone can help me with the issue.
Basically I am looking for a way to validate the data entered by the user in the parameterized Reports.
say, the field is defined as int datatype. If user enter String, it should display the message saying string cannot be entered. Currently, My report does not check the user entered datatype, runs the underlying query and displays the error thrown by the DB ( oracle in my case).
I get :
An error has occured during report processing
Cannot read the next data row....
ORA-01722: invalid number
Instead of this, validation even before query is executed would have been perfect. Is there a way to do that?
I want to make a conditional split based on the data type provided by the input. For example : If the comming (Column x) is of data type (numeric) then pass , else do not pass.
I have an issue with validating an XML file I have from a 3rd party.
Willing to improve and standardise company's process, I have created an XML schema collection (SQL 2008R2), but when I validate the XML file against it I always keep getting the above error: Invalid simple type value dateTime.
Definition of dateTime from w3schools website says: ------ Start of quote ---- "DateTime Data Type The dateTime data type is used to specify a date and a time. The dateTime is specified in the following form "YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss" where: YYYY indicates the year MM indicates the month DD indicates the day T indicates the start of the required time section hh indicates the hour mm indicates the minute ss indicates the second
Note: All components are required!
The following is an example of a dateTime declaration in a schema:
<xs:element name="startdate" type="xs:dateTime"/> An element in your document might look like this: <startdate>2002-05-30T09:00:00</startdate>
------ End of quote ----
So I would assume that dates like 2012-10-24T14:23:00 or 2012-10-24T14:15:00 should be fine, but no -fails.
It works though only if I add "Z" at the end. Obviously 3rd party do not want to change anything, as it works for ages.
Hi all,I have a table called PTRANS with few columns (see create script below).I have created a view on top that this table VwTransaction (See below)I can now run this query without a problem:select * from dbo.VwTransactionwhereAssetNumber = '101001' andTransactionDate <= '7/1/2003'But when I create an index on the PTRANS table using the command below:CREATE INDEX IDX_PTRANS_CHL# ON PTRANS(CHL#)The same query that ran fine before, fails with the error:Server: Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted inan out-of-range datetime value.I can run the same query by commeting out the AssetNumber clause and itworks fine. I can also run the query commenting out the TransactionDatecolumn and it works fine. But when I have both the conditions in theWHERE clause, it gives me this error. Dropping the index solves theproblem.Can anyone tell me why an index would cause a query to fail?Thanks a lot in advance,AmirCREATE TABLE [PTRANS] ([CHL#] [varchar] (100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,[CHCENT] [numeric](2, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHYYMM] [numeric](4, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHDAY] [numeric](2, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHTC] [char] (2) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL) ON [PRIMARY]GOCREATE VIEW dbo.vwTransactionsASSELECT CONVERT(datetime, dbo.udf_AddDashes(REPLICATE('0', 2 -LEN(CHCENT)) + CONVERT(varchar, CHCENT) + REPLICATE('0', 4 -LEN(CHYYMM))+ CONVERT(varchar, CHYYMM) + REPLICATE('0', 2 -LEN(CHDAY)) + CONVERT(varchar, CHDAY)), 20) AS TransactionDate,CHL# AS AssetNumber,CHTC AS TransactionCodeFROM dbo.PTRANSWHERE (CHCENT <> 0) AND (CHTC <> 'RA')*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
I can populate a dataTable with type double (C#) of say '1055.01' however when I save these to the CE3.5 database using a float(CE3.5) I lose the decimal portion. The 'offending' code is:
We have some columns in a table where the date is stored as 19980101 (YYYYMMDD). The data type for this column is NUMBER(8) in Oracle.
I need to copy rows from Oracle to SQL Server using SSIS. I used the Data Conversion transformation editor to change it to DT_DATE, but the rows are not being inserted to the destination.
On Error, If I fail the component, then the error is :
There was an error with input column "ORDER_DATE_CONV" (1191) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (29). The column status returned was: "Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type.".
I am currently in the process of migrating data from Sybase to Sql server and would like to know how to test the data migrated.
As of now, we took one table data from both source and destination and compared it in Excel to check if the data migrated looks good (note, we used SSIS to migrate data). However, I would like to check if there are any other best & easy ways to apprach data validation post migration.
While run time these values are lets suppose @SSN = '999-000-000' & @State='ABC'
Now the Result is displayed with the state data Like 'AB' only.
Output: 1 999-000-000 AB
instead it should give system generated error.
Here I have 2 Questions: 1. Why it is taking 1st 2 Charecters? 2. Why it does not have any system generated for length?
I can do validation with Length function for these 2 variables however if have 100 variables then it should not feasible case. So, what is the reason behind?Â

Hi,I would like to convert a dollar amount ($1,500) to represent Fifteenhundred dollars and 00/100 cents only for SQL reporting purposes. Isthis possible and can I incorporate the statement into an existingleft outer join query.Thanks in advance,Gavin
I have a field that is currently stored as the data type nvarchar(10), and all of the data in this field is in the format mm/dd/yyyy or NULL. I want to convert this field to the smalldatetime data type. Is this possible? I've tried to use cast in the following way, (rsbirthday is the field name, panelists is the table), but to no avail.
SELECT rsbirthday CAST(rsbirthday AS smalldatetime)
FROM panelists
the error returned is "incorrect syntax near 'rsbirthday'.
I'm rather new to all things SQL, so I only have the vaguest idea of what I'm actually doing.

Hi guys I am fairly new to t-sql. I am sure there are SPs or scripts that I can use to create a procedure that will do the data validation in the staging table...
Client send us data and often some of the records have bad values... what i have to create is a process that will check for those values and update a flag in the staging table for each column if the data is not valid....
Please help me out if you have something that can be used for this.
Being relatively new to SSIS, I'm looking for advice, or a best practice, regarding data validation before extracting the data for a transformation.
One of my project's require that certain data be validated in staging tables before it is loaded. The validations include checking for null values, verifying that a field is populated with apropriate values etc... The entire batch of data (good records and bad records) may be rejected depending on the validations.
I have a couple of different thoughts on how this could be handled...
Run a series of validation queries on the data before executing an SSIS package Run some kind of validation transformation (does one exist or should I write a custom transformation?) Place contraints on the target tables so that bad records error out on the load Something else... I could be missing the completely obvious
#3 doesn't seem to viable as the entire load may be rejected if some of the data is bad...

I am trying to use the Bulk Insert Task to load from a csv file. My final column is a bit that is nullable. My file is an ID column that is int, a date column that is mm/dd/yyy, then 20 columns that are real, and a final column that is bit. I've tried various combinations of codepage and datafiletype on my task component. When I have RAW with Char, I get the error included below. If I change to RAW/Native or codepage 1252, I don't have an issue with the bit; however, errors start generating on the ID and date columns.
I have tried various data type settings on my flat file connection, too. I have tried DT_BOOL and the integer datatypes. Nothing seems to work.
I hope someone can help me work through this.
Thanks in advance,
SK

Hello all...I am trying to validate that the new work date that is being imported from the text file does not exist in the table. So in other words I do not want duplicate data. This is what I haveSqlDataReader dr = new SqlDataReader(); SqlParameter sp = new SqlParameter("@WorkDate", Data.SqlDbType.datetime, 8, Data.ParameterDirection.Input); if (dr.HasRows) sp = "@WorkDate"; else *How does that look? Am I in the ball part…
I have one question regarding SQL Server replication.
I have setup SQLServer merge replication at my work, one of our subscriptions has unreliable connection to the publisher, after setting up the replication to this subscriber, it happened once that the connection was really bad so the merge agent for this subscription was failing before synchronizing data changes, and after that , the connection went good & the merge agent completed the synchronization successfully.
After a while I decided to validate all subscriptions, I discovered that this subscription has different row count for many articles although the merge agent was finishing all synchronizations successfully!!
so my question is:
how could this happen? I mean finishing the sync with success and still have different records!!
I thought that SQL Server will keep make the sync fail just because it can't do it!!
Is it right or there is something I misunderstood here?
How can I prevent this from happening again? at least I want SQL Server to inform me by failing the merge agent synchronizations.
I new here so hopefully I'm asking this question in the correct forum. I'm have a flat file that contains numbers that I need to verify that they begin with certain prefixes so they load to the correct client. For example in the flat file if I'm loading data for client A and their account numbers begin with 045XXXXXXX then it loads the data. But if there is a record that begins with 037XXXXXXX it should be loaded to client B instead and that records gets written to a error file.
So to summarize what I need , I'm looking for a check to kick out records if I'm loading client A's data versus if I'm loading client B's data.

Hey, I have a big problem that i wanna search data from SQL by DateTime like thatselect * from test where recorddate='MyVariableWhichHoldDate'i use variable that holds Date info.i searched a lot infomation on net but there is no perfect solution. i know why this occur but there is no function to solve this problem. i used a lot of ways. it accept yyyy-mm-dd format but my variable format is dd-mm-yyyyy . is there any function for this problem? and any other solution.thanks for ur attentionregards
I am using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Express 2005. The database was converted from MS Access 2003 to SQL Express by using the upsize wizard.
I would like to store the current date & time in a column in a table. This column is a smalldatetime column called 'lastlogin'.
The code I'm using is:
Dim sqlcommand As New SqlCommand _
("UPDATE tableXYZ SET Loggedin = 'True', LastLogin = GetDate() WHERE employeeID = '" & intEmployeeID.ToString & "'", conn)
Try
conn.Open()
sqlcommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
conn.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try
This code works fine on my local machine and local SQL server. However at the client side this code results in the error as mentioned in the subject of this thread. I first used 'datetime.now' instead of 'getdate()', but that caused the same error. Then I changed the code to 'getdate()', but the error still remains.
The server at the client is running Windows Server 2000 UK . My local machiine is running WIndows XP Dutch.
Maybe the conversion from Dutch to UK has something to do with it. But this should be solved by using the 'Getdate()' function..... ?
I am working on a coupon redemption project that appears to require dynamic data validation and need some help. For example, a coupon could require a person to buy XXX number of XXX items from XXX manufacture before the transaction is approved. The logical operator between each validation could also be “AND� and “OR�. My first attempt at this has been something along the lines of creating a coupon table with a child table of validation logic. However, being able to apply this logic (and at what layer) has turned out to be a challenge. I am very concerned about speed as all requirements have to be met before a transaction is approved. Any help with trying to figure out the best solution for this would be great@!
Coupons C_ID C_DESC MFG_ID MFG_OFFERNUM
Coupon_Validation CV_ID C_ID MFG_ID (Manufacture) MFG_PARTNUM (Manufacture Part Number) CV_QTYREQUIRED (Number to meet requirements) CV_ITEMLOGIC (AND, OR)
I need some suggestions on validating a string of text based on some business rules using T-SQL. I have a string similar to the following:
This is some text (1.00); this is some more (there's more text here) text (2.00); this is yet more text (1.10)
The above example illustrates a valid string. You'll notice the multiple sets of parens The parens that contain numbers must be followed by a semi-colon except for the last set of parens. Furthermore, any parens followed by a semi-colon must contain only numbers and not text. I can easily identify the positions in the string by using PATINDEX.
Get the closing paren not followed by a semi-colon, ignoring the last closing paren PATINDEX('%)[^;]', @string) Get the closing paren followed by a semi-colon, ignoring the last closing paren PATINDEX('%);%', @string)
My question is, is there a way to quickly validate the data between the parens without visiting each character. This is SQL 2000 so using CLR regular expressions is out.
I'm trying to use the SSIS Execute SQL Task to pull XML from a SQL 2005 database table. The SQL is of the following form:
SELECT (
SELECT MT.MessageId 'MessageId', MT.MessageType 'MessageType', FROM MessageTable MT ORDER BY MT.messageid desc FOR XML PATH('MessageStatus'), TYPE
) FOR XML PATH('Report'), TYPE
For some reason I can only get this query to work if I use an ADO.NET connection type. If I try to use something like the OLEDB connection I get the following error:
<ROOT><?MSSQLError HResult="0x80004005" Source="Microsoft XML Extensions to SQL Server" Description="No description provided"?></ROOT>
Can anyone tell me why the SELECT ... FOR XML PATH... seems only to work with ADO.NET connections?
We have the following scenario: We receive CSV files every month for which SSIS packages were built to process the data. The following problems occur from time to time:
1. The structure of the CSV file changed (e.g. column added or removed) 2. There were no footers in the data, but now footers started to appear 3. Date format changed (e.g. used to be mm/dd/yyyy, but became mm.dd.yyyy) 4. Number format changed (e.g. from 2000 to 2,000)
Currently we have person who manually opens each file, and using our "validation document" validates to ensure none of these or similar problems occur. We would like to move away from this manual process if possible. I understand that items 3. and 4. could be caught by loading data into a staging table with VARCHAR data types, and performing validation before moving it any further.
Item 2 is a bit questionable (meaning depending on the footer size SSIS load could fail or not).
Item 1, however, is a sure fail of the SSIS package that directly loads the data into a table.
Thus I feel the two possible options are:
1. Create a custom script that will run through the file, row by row, apply all the necessary validations and report an error or continue if all checks out
2. Use some 3rd party tool to validate the files (semi-manually) before kicking off the SSIS processing.
Im newto SSIS. I want to develop package for data validation.
FirstName
1. Mandatory  field checking: if Null, reject the record  2. If field length > 50, then reject the record
SSN
1.  If field length > 12, then reject the record 2. If SSN is not in valid format, issue warning and process rhe record  without SSN value. 3. Valid format: 9 digit numeric values should present after striping off  all non-numeric characters. 4. Only send 9 digits to MDM
Like these i have 30 rules. And I have to shop the error msg if the validation fails like "Mandatory feild is missing".
I wanted to know more about validation of SSRS parameters. I have a simple report which has a parameter called startdate of DateTime datatype. The datetime parameter in SSRS takes manual input as well. So, the user can enter any junk value. I want to ensure that the input parameter is in correct format and I want to display an error msg when the format is incorrect. My report has the following VB code for validation:
Public Function Validate( ByVal startdate As String) As Boolean If IsDate(startdate) = True Then Return True Else Return False End If End Function
And my report has a textbox which has the expression property set to;
=Code.Validate(Parameters!startdate.Value) the textbox on the report has to display if the entered date is valid or not.
But, when i enter an erroneous date, SSRS doesn't render the report and throws a generic error. This happens even before the code written for validating the parameter executes.
Also couldn't find a way to disable the manual input for the datetime parameter. Even that would solve the problem.
Another alternative was to make the startdate parameter as string, but i want the calendar control button to be provided for the user.
In my database some of the store procedures getting the data from xml nodes.so I need to implement the validation to xml data for prevent sql injection.
