I have just migrated an Access database to the SQL Server.All of a sudden, some of the append queries no longer work. The reason why, is because some of the values in the source table fields, are a series of spaces. When a Trim(TheseFields) is applied, the data will append. Why is that? The datatype of these fields on the SQL Server is set as Varchar(50) and to accept nulls. How can I get these fields to accept spaces? Thanks - I hope.

I am installing a new instance of SQL 2005 including reporting services and have a serious problem. All looks fine from the Reporting Services Configurations system, however, when attempting to browse to http://servername/reports I get an authentication challenge. All forms of credentials are rejected. The server is a Member server in the domain and SQL Server and the reporting services are installed on this server.
Any help would be appreciated as this is holding up the server installation and I have conducted exhaustive searches for a solution.
This problem is also reported in this thread, although, no solutions have been provided for a long time, so I am re-posting:

Need to know if the varchar datatype field will ingore leading zeros when compared with numeric datatype ?
create table #temp
(

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

Hi,
I imported a table from Accees to SQL 7 with data in it.
I need to modify one of the datatype columns to "datetime" from nvarchar.
I tried to convert it manually, in SQL Server Enterprise Manager tool, but it gave me an error.
I also tried, creating another column "DATE2-datatype:datetime" and updating the column with the old one.
UPDATE users SET DATE2 = DATE.. But it also faild,..
How can I modify the column?
Thank you.
HI,I have a table with IDENTITY column with the datatype as INTEGER. Nowthis table record count is almost reaching its limt. that is totalrecord count is almost near to 2^31-1. It will reach the limit with inanother one or two months.In order to avoid the arithmentic overflow error 8115, we would likechange the datatype from INT to BIGINT. we hope this will solve ourproblem.How do I approch this datatype conversion?. Since the data count ishuge, that leads to a long down time of database.we need better approach or solution for this problem?. kindly give mea better solution that will reduce the total downtime of the productiondatabase.?.Regards

Hi,
I am building my insert statements dynamically and am finding that there are spaces after certain integer fields.
example Insert Table A (col1, col2, col3)
values (1 ,'2',3 )
If col1 and col3 are integer fields, is there any affect to either how the value is stored or how it will be retrieved when the table is used in a join. By inspecting the values in the table, it seems fine. Do I need to worry?
Thanks,

If I run SELECT Len(' ') it returns 0, if SELECT Len('a ') it returns 1
I need this to return the correct length including the space that on the end. I thought it was an ansi_padding problem but even turning padding on results in a 0 length. Any ideas? Thanks!

I am tring to join two tables. There is one problem of course. There is one column I would be able to join the two tables by. This column would be Loc_Code. The only problem is that both columns are not exactly the same. They look like this:
Table 1 Table 2
Loc_Code Loc_Code
A 12345 A12345
A 12346 A12346
A 12347 A12347
A 12348 A12348
I need to erase the spaces that exists in the Loc_Code column in table 1 so that I can join with table 2.
All help would be appreciated.

Hi All... I'm using a SQL Server 2005 database. I've noticed that columns that are declared as "char" and that have a fixed size tend to put trailing spaces at the end of the data when I pull it out. I guess I can understand why... But it's a pain dealing with it. As I'm bringing my application up, I can see spaces all over the place - I just havent gotten around to doing anything about it yet. What's the easiest/best way to get rid of those spaces. Geez, it'd be real cool if I could put something in the SELECT statement. Any thoughts? Thanks much!! -- Curt

Hey all,
Hope I can get some help here.
Have a view that has to reference a table in another database on the same server. This isn't the problem. I am just using Databasename..tablename in the from statement. Get the results required in testing.
The problem is that in production the table name has a space character. i.e. 'accounting info' would be the table name. I have not been able to figure out the proper syntax to capture this properly to reference in the from statement.
I have tried enclosing the name in ' ', " ", [], (), {} and just about every combination I can come up with.
Any help in this would be great, and changing the databse name isn't an option at this time.
Thanx,
Chris
