SQL Tools :: Import Export Wizard Default Data Source Causing Error / Crash

Sep 1, 2015

I have several versions of SQL Server and have been using SQL 2008 on a regular basis due to this issue. Our SQL 2014 when I do the Import Data process, it opens up the dialog window, hit next, and the data source is currently defaulting to ".NET Framework Data Provider for IBM i" - when it does this it immediately errors out with:

"An error occurred which the SQL Server Integration Services Wizard was not prepared to handle.

Additional Information:
> Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation (mscrolib)
>> Failed to find or load the registered .NET Framework Data Provider (System.Data)"

It immediately crashes/closes the Import/Export wizard with me unable to change the data source to what I need it to be.

My 2008 defaults to SQL Server Native Client 10.0 and does allow me to change to that same option (at which point it errors) but it does not close the wizard.

I need a way to either:

> Default the starting Data Source to be something else
> Fix whatever error is causing it to crash - I am at a loss as to what the error is looking for
> Not have the wizard crash whenever it defaults to this source.

Any of the above solutions would work fine - but at the moment I am unable to use the Import/Export wizard at all in SQL 2014.

Alter Column Causing Log To Fill

Jul 23, 2005

I'm trying to simply change a column definition from Null to Not Null. It'sa multi million row table. I've already checked to make sure there are nonulls for any rows and a default has been created for the column. My log isset to autogrow and as the alter column colname char(6) Not Null runs thelog begins to grow. If I use no check BOL say the optimizer won't considerthe change. How can I change the nullability of a column that currentlycontains no nulls without using up extreme amounts of log space?Danny

DTS- Destination Column Name Has Spaces Causing Error

Jan 13, 2007

I am using Advantage ODBC 6.2 to connect to a Advantage Data Server to
push data from a SQL table into this server.  I can view the data from
the ADS with DTS and I can insert data by using "Insert into TempTable ("Last
Name","First Name") values ('test','test)" from a Execute SQL Statement. The issue is when I build
up a DTS package to pull from SQL into the Advantage ODBC, I get a
"missing closing ")"" error.  I have narrowed it down to the column
names in the destination table having spaces (Last Name, First Name,
and a bunch of others.  DBA 101 here).  How do I beat this?


I have tried editing the destination column names in disconnected edit
by adding the double quotes but get a "Column Name '"Last Name"' not
found" error.  Wrapping them with [] doesn't work.  I think this is a
limit on Advantage.


When I try to use Advantage OLE DB, I get an 'Ace32.dll must be newer
then the other dll" error.  I am afraid of upgrading Ace32.dll and not
break other things.

 

So with this said my two questions:

How do I get the destniation column names wrapped in double quotes when using transformations?

or

Is there a way I can do an Insert into Advantage connection(column names) values (Select Values from SQL Server connection)?

REPLACE In Derived Column Transform Causing Repeat Data In Rows That Should Be Blank

Jul 25, 2006

W2k3 server, SQL 2005.
@@version = Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86)
Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.2
(Build 3790: Service Pack 1)

I have my first SSIS package almost working, but I'm having an odd problem and can't find any information to help resolve it.

I'm importing from a flat file (csv) to an existing table (append). I've got a Derived Column transformation in the middle to do some data cleanup. It's all working except for one little problem...

One of the transformations is 'REPLACE([Column 3],"^","; ")', output to a new column. (The input file has a field that uses carets as delimiters between an unknown number of items; I'm changing that to semicolons for easier reading.) Not all rows have data in this column, some will have one item, some will have multiple items.

The REPLACE works except that it fills in repeated data for all the blank rows.

Example:

Incoming data is:

1 Smith,Jane^Jones,Jane

2 Brown,John

3

4 Adams,James^Adams,Jim

5

6 White,Debra

Data inserted into the table is:

1 Smith,Jane; Jones,Jane

2 Brown,John

3 Brown,John

4 Adams,James; Adams,Jim

5 Adams,James; Adams,Jim

6 White,Debra

I've tried to use a Conditional to skip the empty rows, but I can't get that working at all (get syntax errors no matter what I put in).

Any suggestions on how to fix this would be most appreciated!

Thank you.

SQL Server 2012 :: Determine Which Column Is Causing Error Converting Data Type Varchar To Numeric?

Aug 14, 2014

I'm moving data from one database to another (INSERT INTO ... SELECT ... FROM ....) and am encountering this error:

Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 6
Error converting data type varchar to numeric.

My problem is that Line 6 is:

set @brn_pk = '0D4BDE66347C440F'

so that is obviously not the problem and my query has almost 200 columns. I can go through one by one and compare what column is int in my destination table and what is varchar in my source tables, but that could take quite a while. How I can work out what column is causing the problem?

Finding 'Error Column' Causing Error

Apr 16, 2007

Good Morning,



Am I new at this so please bear with me. I searched the site and found threads on identifying the meaning of an error code and have instituted that scripting. It is telling me that I have a 'The data value cannot be converted for reasons other than sign mismatch or data overflow.' error. It identifies the colum as 5301.

I searched the threads and found one telling me I could do an advanced editor search on the lineage id to find the column being referenced. I have traced the entire process using this information and cannot find a reference lineage id of 5301. Was that thread information accurate, and if so what do I do now? If not, can someone tell me how the heck I find column 5301? I cannot load my table from a flat file because of this.



Work so far:

I have checked for integrity between column definitions and source flat file. I applied derived column changes to make the data transform to the appropriate data type/order where necessary. This part works without error. (Or seems to, there is no error output from this piece.) It is only on the final attempt to load that the process errors with these messages.



Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me.

Cannot Set Default Value For Column Using Alter Column

May 16, 2006

Well here's one of those excruciatingly simple obstacles:

In SQL Server 2005 (Mgmt Studio): according to BOL, the syntax to set a default value for an existing column is:

ALTER TABLE MyCustomers ALTER COLUMN CompanyName SET DEFAULT 'A. Datum Corporation'

However, when I Check:

alter table CommissionPayment alter column Amount Set Default 0

I get the error message:

"Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'Set'."

No other combinations of this syntax work.

Help! What am I missing?

Using UDF As A Default Value For A Column

Oct 17, 2006

I have a UDF that returns a char(10) random value. This runs fine when calling it directly via Query Analyzer, Stored Procs, etc.

I now want to create a new column in a table (via the Table Designer) and want to set the default value to the function. I have entered dbo.f_myfunction() for "Default Value", but I get an error:

Unable to modify table.
ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process 51 generated fatal exception c0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process.

The function is in the same database as the table. This is all on my local database where I am the admin.

I have also tried database.dbo.f_myfunction(), but I get an Invalid Object error.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you,

JLM

Column Null Or 0 Default Value

Feb 3, 2005

Hi

I have a table with the list of employee and 15 column with data type float or money , that represent the number of hours, airfare,gas,parking food, etc....

I have 2 choice:
-Put 0 as a default value for each column, like that I do not have to use coalesce when I do SUM for each column.
-Leave the default value null but I will have to use coalesce.

In term of performance, what is the best solution?

Thanks

Set Default Value For A Char Column??

Sep 25, 2006

I have a char(11) for SSN, and I would like to default it to123-45-6789 so I can avoid having nulls in this column, and so I caneasily find the rows in which I need to have a 'correct' SSNentered/updated.I tried using just 123-45-6789, and SQL2005 doesn't seem to bedefaulting to this value, it seems to be keeping it as(((123)-(45))-(6789), and not placing it into this column when a newrow is created....Is there some special way I must specify defaults for a char(11) field(Yes, I will include the dashes).Thank you,Tom

Alter Column To Set Default

Aug 23, 2006

I know that the correct syntax to set the default on a column in SQL Server 2005 is:

Alter Table <TableName> Add Constraint <ConstraintName> Default <DefaultValue> For <ColumnName>

But from what I can gather, the SQL-92 syntax is:

Alter Table <TableName> Alter Column <ColumnName> Set Default <DefaultValue>

This generates an error on SQL Server 2005.

Am I wrong about the standard syntax for this statement? If this is the standard, why doesn't SQL Server 2005 support it? I am trying to avoid code that will only work on certain database managers.



Thanks.

Table Column Default

Sep 19, 2006

Hello all,

I have a table with a column:
ThruDate datetime not null

I have a function call set up as default for the col
([dbo].[fn_DateHigh_Get1]())


I have a stored procedure that inserts into the table - it expects @ThruDate as a parm. I default the parm to NULL -

When the sp executes its insert stmt i get error 515 (null cannot be inserted....).
When i just enter the row manually in enterprise manger (and just tab through the ThruDate col) all is well - ThruDate gets the default as calculated by function [dbo].[fn_DateHigh_Get1]()

Why does the sp fail - i.e. why isn't the default applied?

thanks
