Datatype Conversion Problem.
Feb 2, 2006
Hi ALL!
I have a table named 'Table1' which contains a column 'Name'.
The data type of column [Name] is varchar(50).
When i try to change its datatype to binary by trying following code
ALTER TABLE Table1 Alter Column [Name] Binary(5000)
It gives following error.
" Creation of table 'bp_MAIN' failed because the row size would be 10021, including internal overhead. This exceeds the maximum allowable table row size, 8060. "
So, how can i change the datatype of this column ?
Regards,
Shabber Abbas.

Good afternoon,
I have an issue with an ssis variable datatype.
The scenario is as follows:
I have a stored procedure:
PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_newTransaction]
@sourceSystem varchar(50),
@txOut NUMERIC(18,0) OUTPUT
AS
insert into scn_transaction (sourceSystemName) values(@sourceSystem);
SELECT @txOut = @@identity
Whose purpose is to perform an insert into a table and return me the identity value of the inserted record, which I'll then use throughout the rest of my package. The identity column in the inserted table is numeric(18,0).
I execute the stored proc with the following sql with an OLE DB connection manager:
exec sp_newTransaction ?, ?
The first parameter is a string variable from earlier in the package, and the second is the output parameter. I have the following parameter mappings to the execute sql task:
User:ystxId output numeric 1 -1
User:ourceSys input varchar 0 -1
The proc is correctly called, and the row insesrted, however I get a type conversion error when SSIS attempts to map the return parameter to my package variable... I've tried all sorts of combonations, and can't seem to get it to execute.
At one point I wasn't returning a numeric, but rather an int from the stored proc, and all was well until I went to use the variable in a derived column later in the package, and the type was converted quite incorrectly (a 1 was 77799789080 or some such), indicating a type conversion error likely related to the encoding of the number.
I'd like to keep the datatypes as numeric and make ssis use those - any pointers are greatly appreciated as to what type my package variable should be to allow proper assignment of a sql server numeric type to it.
Thanks much,
B

I am getting a "Syntax error converting the varchar value '10,90' to a column of data type int." error when I run the following procedure:
@myList varchar(200)
SELECT column1
FROM table1
WHERE table1.ID IN (@myList)
When @myList is a single value, I get no errors. However, when @myList is a comma separated list like in the message above, I error out. I am using SQL Server 2000.
How else can I build this list of IDs? Thank you in advance for your comments.

Dear All:
I am in the process of developing a code generation tool to generate automatically:
1- Business Layer objects
2- Object Layer objects
3- Data Layer objects
The code follows the same technique used in IssueTracker Starter Kit.
I faced somehting wierd today while trying to convert between SQL Data types to C# data types:
Check the image please, the problem is that, different value number is being given to each column type, by using both:
syscolumsn.type and syscolumns.xtype,
which one to use ? which is the best used to convert to C# ?
Are there any place where data types of SQL Server are being converted to C# data types ?
check the pic here please SQL DB
Thanks a lot

I am using DTS to import a DB2 table from the mainframe and export the table in text format to a shared folder. I want to convert two fields to a date format yyyy-mm-dd. RELSE_Date is in this format and Updtts is a timestamp coming from the mainframe. The text file is all vchar. In dts here is my query pulling from the mainframe
SELECT A.PROD_ORDER_NUMBER, A.DYE_SEQUENCE, A.STYLE,
A.COLOR, A.SIZE, A.STATUS_IND, A.STATUS_CODE,
A.QUANTITY_REC_DC, B.SHIP_OTFQ_QTY,
A.MRP_PACK_CODE, A.LABELS_PRINTED,
date(A.RELSE_DATE) as RELSE_DATE,
date(A.UPDTTS) as UPDtts, A.LOCATION
FROM DB2.WP1_PO_CUST_REQ A,
DB2.WP1_DYE_LOT_REQ B
WHERE A.PROD_ORDER_NUMBER = B.PROD_ORDER_NUMBER
AND A.DYE_SEQUENCE = B.DYE_SEQUENCE
AND A.STYLE = B.STYLE
AND A.COLOR = B.COLOR
AND A.SIZE = B.SIZE
AND (A.PROD_ORDER_NUMBER LIKE '__K____')
When I parse the query it accepts it. When I run the DTS I get an error stating (SQL STATE 220077 SQLCODE -180) The sting representation of a datetime value has invalid syntax. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to convert these fields before the text file is exported or another output format that is similar to .dat in comma delimited format? Thank you.

Have a simple question -
Will it be possible to convert a varchar data type column (having values that are numbers or null only) to a numeric data type column having the number values and the null values not being replaced by 0.
Col A Col A
(varchar) (int or numeric)
123 123
124 124
NULL 0 <expected blank>
125 125
I tried using CAST(Col A as int) and it converts the NULL to 0. Will
CAST(ISNULL(ColA,'') as int) work? The reason for this requirement is the value 0 will give different meaning to the data. Any insights will be appreciated.

here is my problem:
i have a variable @sid_x as binary(16) = 0x4CF254AB0BA5D411AA3E00508BC5C413
and i want to use it as argument in sp_addlogin statement.
select @sqlcmd = 'sp_addlogin "test", @sid = ' + @sid_t
/* this doesn't work, because @sid_t is binary... */
select @sqlcmd = 'sp_addlogin "test", @sid = ' + convert (char (20), @sid_x)
/* this doesn't work either, because it doesn't convert to binary text */
my question, is there any way i can get @sid_x in follow text format
0x4CF254AB0BA5D411AA3E00508BC5C413 ?
Thanks a lot!

Can anyone tell me how to calculate datatype conversion times in SQL Server
7? I have a varchar (15) field that I tried to convert to integer using
the table design GUI in Enterprise Manager. The table holds about
72,000,000 records about 1k apiece in size.
It's been running for about an hour now with no seeable results. In
Performance Monitor I don't see any page reads happening, so is this
indicative that the process died? Enterprise Manager is no longer
responsive - even if I open another session.
I'd like to know how long I can reasonably expect this conversion to take.
Also, how can I abort this request safely if I want to?
Thanks for any insights.

Exception in one of the stored procs:
Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value to datatype int. After moving database from 2000 to 2005.
Using backup and restore.
Note I had the same issue after restoring the production database on my local server SQL2000->SQL2000.
The problem was solved by restoring master and msdb from the production. But I can't do this on the SQL2005.
This is not a collation issue as I have ensured collation is the same on all databases including the system ones.
The database in question makes extensive use of user defined data types (Which I have recreated on the destination server).
Can anyone please help?

I am facing a problem while using SQL Server with VB application.Implicit conversion from datatype text to nvarchar is not allowed.Use the convert function to run this query.When i see the trace file, i see one stored procedure called but nolines of code get executed, and immediately after that the ROLLBACKTRANSACTION occurs and the applications fails.But to my surprise i am able to do the same thing on a differentmachine using the same application and the same database on the sameserver with the same user id.Can anyone explain the reason of occurance of this problem.I require this very urgently, so i will be oblized if anyone can comeup with a quick response.Kind Regards,Amit Kumar

Hi All,
Here is a description of the issue I'm facing about decimal datatype conversion from DB2 to SSIS throught Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2.
I first discovered it when I tried to use a LookUp trans. and selected a decimal typed field. I was unable to validate it and clicking the OK button threw the error copied below:
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio
------------------------------
Error at Data Flow Task [DTS.Pipeline]: The "output column "MFIXFRA" (317)" has a value set for length, precision, scale, or code page that is a value other than zero, but the data type requires the value to be zero.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0204019 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)
------------------------------
BUTTONS:
OK
------------------------------
Some workarounds on this issue led me to two other strange behaviours:
- If I create a dataflow task to perform a raw copy of a DB2 table to a brand new table in SQLServer destination (by clicking "new" instead of choosing an existing destination table), generated "create table" script for decimal fields is quite different from source table. For example, a source field declared Dec(15,2) is translated as Dec(29,5), and so on.
- Quite same behaviour if I try to derive a column using as derived column trans. If the source column is a decimal, it's scale and precision are interpreted ramdomly.
Any idea welcome
André

Hi All,
I need a solution for the following:
I have a field with datatype string, length 8, in the form yyyymmdd (f.e. 20070604).
Now I need to transfer this field into a field with datatype dt_DBDATE or DT_DBDATE.
I tried to perform this with a derrived column and type cast (DT_DATE) or (DT_DBDATE), but this does not work.
Any hint for me!!!
Thanks in Advance

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.

I have a USERS database table with a column called IsValidated. It identifies if a user has been validated.
I'd like to know which datatype would be the most efficient for this column.
Our DBA made it a varchar(1) column. Would using int be better?
Please advice.

I have a message box or multiline textbox on my form and I am storing into an SQL DB. I currently have it as a VARCHAR, but that doesn't seem to store the carriage returns. Do I have to store them as a nvarchar, text, ntext or something else to make the returns show? I am pulling them out of the DB and showing them in a label where I replace the with a <br>.
tempMessage = Dr("Message")
message.Text = tempMessage.Replace("", "<br />")

Over the years I have always used the decimal(18,0) as the datatype forprimary keys. Aside from the number of significant numbers involved,would BigInt type be better for performance or is decimal(18,0) still okay.--Don VaillancourtDirector of Software DevelopmentWEB IMPACT INC.phone: 416-815-2000 ext. 245fax: 416-815-2001email: Join Bytes! <mailto:donv@webimpact.com>web: http://www.web-impact.comWeb Impact Inc. <http://www.web-impact.com>This email message is intended only for the addressee(s) and containsinformation that may be confidential and/or copyright.If you are not the intended recipient please notify the sender by replyemail and immediately delete this email.Use, disclosure or reproduction of this email by anyone other than theintended recipient(s) is strictly prohibited.
