I'm trying to import a text file which contains dates and decimal values. My problem is that the date has the following format "YYYY-MM-DD" and the decimal sign for the values are "." (dot).
If I change the "Locale" for the file source so it will handle the "." signs in the values then the dates are invalid, and if I have it so the dates are handled then the "."s aren't seen as decimals.
Is it posible to handle this problem in SSIS
Thanks
I am working with a legacy SQL server database from SQL Server 2000. I noticed that in some places that they use decimal data types, that I would normally think they should be using integer data types. Why is this does anyone know?
Example: AutomobileTypeId (PK, decimal(10,0), not null)
I am creating a table on SQL Server. One of the columns in this new table contains whole integer as wells as decimal values (i.e. 4500 0.9876). I currently have this column defined as Decimal(12,4). This adds 4 digits after the decimal point to the whole integers. Is there a data type that will have the decimal point only for decimal values and no decimal point for the whole integers?

My database stores the decimals in Spanish format; "," (comma) as decimal separator.
I need to convert decimal nvarchar values (with comma as decimal separator) as a decimal or int.
Any Case using CAST or CONVERT, For Decimal or Int gives me the following error:
Error converting data type varchar to numeric
Any knows how to resolve.
Or any knows any parameter or similar, to indicate to the Cast or Convert, that the decimal separator is a comma instead a dot.
Hello!
I would like to cast (convert) data type decimal(24,4) to
decimal(21,4). I could not do this using standard casting function
CAST(@variable as decimal(21,4)) or CONVERT(decimal(21,4),@variable)
because of the following error: "Arithmetic overflow error converting
numeric to data type numeric." Is that because of possible loss of the
value?
Thanks for giving me any advice,

I wanted to convert a dataset from vb.net (2.0) to an .XLS file, by MS Jet. My national standard is using decimal commas, not decimal points for numbers signing the beginning of decimal places.
But the MS Jet Engine uses decimal point,in default. Therefore, in the Excel file only string formatted cells can welcome this data, not number formatted.
How can I solve or get around this problem? (with jet if it possible)

View 6 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I am designing some reports for a German branch of my company and need to replace decimal point with a comma and the thousand comma seperator with a decimal point.
e.g.
‚¬1,500,123.00 to ‚¬1.500.123,00
Is there a property that I can change in the report designer to allow this to happen or is this something I need to convert in a Stored Proc.
Any help would be much appreciated

I need to store decimal values: decimal(20,15) in my SQL Server 2005 database.
I load data from flat file, convert it using Data Conversion Task to decimal(with scale: 15) and try to save it using OLE DB Destination.
It works fine for 4 digits after the decimal (like 1.1234), but always failes for more than 4 digits (1.12345).
Is the decimal limited to scale 4 ???
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
I am having a file in which amount fields are given in a Packed Decimal format. Can anyone suggest me how I can read this data element from the file and convert it into SQL decimal datatype.
File is a fixed length. All the amount fields are given in Packed Decimal Format and rest of the fields are given in text format.
How can i identify and convert only those packed decimals using SQL/.Net.
Example : a row in a file that has some packed decimals

Hi Guys,
I have a website with multiple pages and when a user signs in it puts a 1 in the database and their online status is shown to the rest of the members, if they use my signout button which I have on each page, it signs them out and updates the database with a 0 in the process, so shows them as then offline, my problem is some people forget to sign out and just close the browser window or begin surfing elsewhere.
Is there a way to have sql server 2000 automatically change the field in the database after 30 minutes of inactivity.
Or is there a way to automatically sign users out as they either click on the X in the browser window, or as they leave my site.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

Solutions are easy. Understanding the problem, now, that's the hard part
I typed the following query
ALTER TABLE [konnik].[PORTAL_CONFIG]
ADD CONSTRAINT [DF_PORTAL_CONFIG_AUTOPM_ON]
DEFAULT (1) FOR [AUTOPM_ON]
and i received the following warning
Warning: The table 'PORTAL_CONFIG' has been created but its maximum row size (12068) exceeds the maximum number of bytes per row (8060). INSERT or UPDATE of a row in this table will fail if the resulting row length exceeds 8060 bytes.
Bear in mind that this table come from Access through the Dts. Could anyone translate this for me? How can i overcome this???

I have come across a bit of problem with my Web Form. I have standard textbox which inserts a value into a SQL 2000 database. However if I put a pound sign anywhere inside the text box and do the insert it disappears when I try and reshow the value.
I have checked the database field to see if it has been inputted but its no where to be seen.
So what has happened to my pound sign? any ideas?

I have a SQL 7 db that I use a DTS package to import Oracle data into. The package works fine and imports all the appropriate data. However, if I use an Access 2000 database to attach to the data via ODBC (using the MS SQL Server driver), the negative sign is dropped when displaying data in a table, query, or report.
Same problem in SQL Server - if I query the SQL 7 data via the Query Analyzer, the negative signs are dropped. However, if I query the SQL data using the Enterprise Manager (i.e., Open Table...Return All Rows via right click on the table), the data shows up properly with the negative signs there. Bottom line - the data is correct, but doesn't get displayed correctly in QA or via ODBC.
What gives?! Can anyone explain to me the "connections" that occur between EM and QA? Looks like QA uses a "temporary" ODBC connection to talk to the data, while the EM connects "directly" to the data. Also, what gives with the MS SQL Server ODBC driver - why wouldn't it display the negative signs? Is there a better SQL Server ODBC driver that I should/could use? I've tried configuring the ODBC connection differently, but to no avail.
Any help is greatly appreciated, as the data in question is being used in court and absolutely HAS to be accurately displayed.
Thanks!

Does anyone know to include the Euro sign in SQL statements. I found an Ascii
code of ALt+0128, but then I use CHAR (0128) it actually prints the Char (128) which is Ç not €.
When I use the € directly in the code the application just shows a ?

Code:
objrs.Open "Select * from [klcc_f$]", objConn, adOpenStatic
why IM getting dollar sign is not a valid name ?
I am trying to use this command to change the variable in where clause each time:
psexec servername -E cmd.EXE /c "sqlcmd -S servername /E -d dbname -v entertext="'%anything%'" -i c:myfoldermyscript.sql -o c:mypathoutput.sql"
myscript.sql is like:
select * from table_name
where summary like $(entertext);
This command works just for variables with single and exact word. It does not work for variables which has space between them or when I enter part of summary.In fact, I wanted to write something which the user be able to enter variable each time when he/she run this batch file. because I put this sqlcmd command in batch file( like this in oracle: "select * from table_name where summary = &entertext; " I was looking the same command in sql server , but I did not find it). I do not know .net or any other programing language( I know just csh and command line). I want to do this just with sql command.
I have a query where I have to use the convert function to return the unitprice as a decimal with 2 digits to the right of the decimal and a $ to the left of the number like 10 should be $10.0o. How do i insert the $. this is my code so far:
SELECT CONVERT(varchar, UnitPrice, 1) AS varchartotal
FROM dbo.[Order Details]
In Crystal Reports, there was a "reverse sign for display" property that could be checked for a number box. This was used for debits and credits (and such) so a negative number would be displayed as a positive and a positive displayed as a negative.
How would this work, or is there something simple, in Reporting Services?
Thanks for the information.

Hi,
I did all the step mentioned in this MSFT article http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms137947.aspx Yet I can not sign a package using a certificate.
To sign a package
In Business Intelligence Development Studio, open the Integration Services project that contains the package you want to work with.
In Solution Explorer, double-click the package to open it.
In SSIS Designer, on the SSIS menu, click Digital Signing.
In the Digital Signing dialog box, click Sign.
The Select Certificate dialog box, select a certificate.
Optionally, click View Certificate to view certificate information.
Click OK to close the Select a Certificate dialog box.
Click OK to close the Digital Signing dialog box.
To save the updated package, click Save Selected Items on the File menu.
I don't see a certificate to select after following the article's steps. Can some one please shed some light on this?
Thanks,

How can I remove the - after an import into a database. I want to be able to convert all negative numbers to positive, once the data has been imported into the table
Any ideas?
Hi,
I have imported a table from Oracle to SQL server using the tool in enterprise manager.
Some of the columns were numeric and had negative values.
In Query analyzer these numbers show up as positive. But when i add a where clause and only ask for the values < 0 the same numbers show up bit still without a negative sign.
Does anyone have an explanation for this?
(could have found some help if the search function was working....)
Workaround?
Thanks,

I have a SSAS 2012 Tabular Cube and I am now stuck with a problem concerning something recursive in DAX.Basically I am looking for number of zones jump, provided the sign of the numbers are reverse.E.g. in the figure below. Number of zones jump for the figure -47,067 is 1, since there is a positive value in zone 2. If the Figure in Zone2 had been 0 or a negative number and Zone 3 had the same (i.e. 0 or a negative number) and Zone 4 had a positive number, the number of Zones jump would be 3. Is this something that could be done in DAX?Â

Hi
I€™m having trouble again with a matrix report.
I wish to make a matrix report with 5 columns. The right part of course will be filled depending on how many moths the user has chosen. The left part will be field with country, city and then the person names and some other info.
What I want to do is to have the first 2 columns, country and city, with drilldown. That is pushing the plus sign to open the corresponding group. How do I do this?
Thanks in advanced
Kind Regards
hi and thanks for your help. Is there such a code that return whether or not a field is either positive or negative. If I have a field that contain numeric value. lets say -500
can I run a code that check the sign ?
