Error: The Value Was Too Large To Fit In The Output Column ColName (60).
Apr 12, 2006
Hi All,
I'm trying to transfer data from DB2 Database to SQL Server 2005.
Well, i used the OLE DB Source, the Data Conversion Component and the OLE DB Destination component.
I have five Data flows with this configuration above. But I am receiving an error message from one of them.
Please check below the error message:
"[Source Table TARTRATE [1]] Error: The value was too large to fit in the output column "ADJ_RATE_PCT" (60). "
"[Source Table TARTRATE [1]] Error: The "component "Source Table TARTRATE" (1)" failed because error code 0xC02090F8 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "ADJ_RATE_PCT" (60)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component."
How can I get the result stored in Inserted.ColName (by Output clause of insert command). In the documentation (BOL) for SQL 2005, there is written "returned to the processing application for use" in Output clause (first paragraph).
Question 2:
How to store Inserted.ColName into local variable when insert command is running in stored procedure.:
I have a Data Flow Task that extracts some data using a DataReader Source and loads it to a Raw File Destination. I am getting the following error message:
[DataReader Source [2357]] Error: The value was too large to fit in the output column "LASTCOL" (2558).
I thought that using a Raw File Destination would avoid this type of problem. How can I resolve this issue?
I would like to get the actual name of the column that has the error. Using the ErrorColumn (int value) I thought there would be some type of lookup collection based on the input (like column names)- if there is, can someone tell me how to get to it?
I have my error output writing to a stored proc, but instead of "32226" as the column name, I need to have the actual name of the column. I am going from Flat File to OLE DB Destination. I have a Script Component getting the output to write to my sproc, and I just need to get the column name.
I’m attempting to use DTS to import data from a Memo field in MS Access (Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider) into a SQL Server nvarchar(4000) field. Unfortunately, I’m getting the following error message:
Error at Source for Row number 30. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1. Data for source column 2 (‘Html’) is too large for the specified buffer size.
I also get this error message when attempting to import the same data from Excel.
Per the MS Knowledgebase article located at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=281517, I changed the registry property indicated to 0. This modification did not help.
Per suggestions in other SQL Server forums, I moved the offending row from row number 30 to row number 1. This change only resulted in the same error message, but with the row number indicated as “Row number 1�. (Incidentally, the data in this field is greater than 255 characters in every row, so the cause described in the Knowledgebase article doesn’t seem to be my problem).
You might also like to know that the data in the Access table was exported into this table from a SQL Server nvarchar(4000) field.
Does anybody know what might trigger this error message other than the data being less than 255 characters in the first eight rows (as described in the KB article)?
I’ve hit a brick wall, so I’d appreciate any insight.Thanks in advance!
When configuring error output, I want everything that is good in the row to make it to the destination, and then the offending column that is causing an error to be set to NULL, and then sent to the destination as well. In addition, I want to take the offending column's data, and route it over to an error holding table. I know about the ability to redirect the whole row, but I just sort of want to redirect just that column. For example....
Have a table with 5 columns
col1 int null,
col2 int null,
col3 char(3) null,
col4 bit null,
col5 int null
My data flow loads data from a flat file and has a record that looks like this
1 5 ABC R 3
I want the row to make it to the destination as follows....
1 5 ABC NULL 3
Then the offending data needs to go over to my error table
Iam redirecting the error output of a OLEDB destination component to a script component. My aim is to create a HTML report having the information about the bad records, the error occuring in the rows and the column name that fails. The error output provided two new columns i.e the errorcode and errorcolumn , the errorcolumn value for a bad record gives the linage id for the column, is there a way to derieve the name of the column by using the lineage id?
Here is what I get. Is this an install problem or is this how this software works??

I have created a program that imports a csv into the sql server. but during that import I need to track all the errors that occured for some malformed rows. I think I need to use the error output collection of the dataflow components to track the errors. I figured out that every dataflow component has a error output collection along with the data output collection. I want to write those error outputs into a separete database. So, I have created a SQL server data destination component and created a path between derived columns error output and it input collection. But it is not working as expected. can any body help on this?
or can anyone give me any example how to use/handle error output collection in SSIS?
I am stuck with a problem and need your help. As we know, all columns that go to error flow of flat file source connection are displayed as a single column e.g. FlatFileSourceErrorOutputColumn, but my requirement is to extract the first column value from this FlatFileSourceErrorOutputColumn, my data is dilimeted by "|" pipe operator. I have created a script component to deal with this. However if we take FlatFileSourceErrorOutputColumn column as input column in script component, it comes as BLOB data. I wrote below code in transformation script component to extract BLOB data from column in string form and then do a Left function search to take first column out.
When I am running this script component I am getting '??????????' question marks as a result in Row.Pname.
Can anyone please help me understand if I am doing anything wrong in this script or suggest a better way to take the data out?
I appreciate your help.

I am returning a field from a db using an OUTPUT parameter that looks like this in the stored procedure... @theOutputParam varChar(4000) When it is returned to my VB.NET code it looks like this... Dim theString as String = [theSQL parameter] ... When I run and debug and look at... theString.Length ...it returns 4000 instead of only the actual characters that are entered into the field. So, if the field value is "FOO" I get "FOO" plus 3997 blank characters. So, I've tried.... theString = trim(theString) But, I still get 4000 characters. I'm dunno what else to try, do you? Thanks in advance for any assistance... Bernie
I have a Lookup Transformation that matches the natural key of a dimension member and returns the dimension key for that member (surrogate key pipeline stuff).
I am using an OLE DB Command as the Error flow of the Lookup Transformation to insert an "Inferred Member" (new row) into a dimension table if the Lookup fails.
The OLE DB Command calls a stored procedure (dbo.InsertNewDimensionMember) that inserts the new member and returns the key of the new member (using scope_identity) as an output.
What is the syntax in the SQL Command line of the OLE DB Command Transformation to set the output of the stored procedure as an Output Column?
I know that I can 1) add a second Lookup with "Enable memory restriction" on (no caching) in the Success data flow after the OLE DB Command, 2) find the newly inserted member, and 3) Union both Lookup results together, but this is a large dimension table (several million rows) and searching for the newly inserted dimension member seems excessive, especially since I have the ID I want returned as output from the stored procedure that inserted it.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
Hello All I m trying to update a table whose col name will be read from another table. For e.g. Table1 gives the result: 'emp1', 1, 'John' 'emp2', 2, 'Mike' Now in the second table, i need to update the table with Col name = 'Emp1' and then from the second row (above), I need to update Col name= 'Emp2' I need to write one Update Statement which will handle all the cases. I tried Update Table2 set @VariableName = ....... but didnt work... How can i do that ?
I have Lookup task to determine if source data should be updated to or insert to the customer table. After Lookup task, the Error Output pipeline will redirect to insert new data to the table and the Output pipeline will update customer table. But these two tasks will be processing at the same time which causes stall on the process. Never end.....
The job is similiart to what Slow Changing Dimention does but it won't update the table at the same time.
I'm trying to store a binary data file in my database. I've tried data types image, varchar(max) and text. I don't get error message on loading the data but as soon as the text file exceeds 32,000 bits a query returns an empty data set.
Is this a SSMS display problem and the data is really there? Or is this another one of Microsoft's memory bugs?
First off I understand that it is a horrible idea to run extremely large/long running reports, but sometimes it ends up being the best possible solution due to external forces.
I've got a 25,000 page report that we recently converted from crystal reports to SSRS. The SSRS server is a 64bit 2003 server with 32 gigs of ram running SSRS 2005. When running the report through the report manager web application, it renders in the browser/viewer after about 12 minutes. Exporting to pdf through the browser/viewer in the report manager takes an additional 55 minutes. It does work and it produces a whopping 1.03gb pdf.
Unfortunately, I've run into a problem when trying to do this from a console application using the SSRS client API. After about 30-35 minutes I get an exception on the client with the following error: Exception Message: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive. InnerException = Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
Here is the api call:
Code Snippet
byte[] m_data = reportingService.Render(this.ReportPath, this.ExportFormat, null, deviceInfo, selectedParameters, null, null, out encoding, out m_mimeType,
out usedParameters, out warnings, out streamIds); Here are some things I've tried so far:
set the HttpRuntime ExecutionTimeout value to 3 hours on the report server disabled http keep alives on the report server increased the script timeout on the report server set the report to never time out on the server set the report timeout to several hours on the client call Disabled antivirus on the client side, and verified there was no antivirus running on the reporting server. Tried using default credentials in the ReportingService object as opposed to supplying credentailsAny ideas would be appreciated. I understand the best solution is to split the report up into smaller reports, which is the backup option, but being able to keep it as one report is the goal.
I have a table that currently holds about 5 million records. We add an average of 5,000 new records per day, all of them from overnight batch jobs. I guess it's not that big, but there are two text columns that hold a couple KB each, so the total size isn't exactly small either. The data is created from medical billing data we receive overnight. We get two reports- patient demographic information and a physician's dictation relating to that patient. This data is always one to one, and the purpose of this table is to store the data as we originally receive, which is why both reports are in the same table. After we extract the details from the report, (which are by this point always reduced to text documents) we need to keep not only the data but the original documents, hence the two text columns. We considered moving the large columns to their own table, which would just have an ID field and the column, but the powers that be really wanted all this in the same table. Nothing new goes into the table during day- it's all SELECT statements.
I need to add a column to this table. It's just a small char(7) column, NULLS allowed, of course. We bill for several clients, and reports from different clients become available at different times, so there's really no down time overnight. Altering the table during the day is out of the question. So how can I add a column while the table is active?
My best idea so far is to use SELECT *, NULL AS NewColumn INTO NewTable to create a copy of the table (using a cast to get the correct datatype) during the day, when no new data is going in, and replacing the old table with the new by simply changing the names right after everyone goes home. But this could still cause slowdowns while it builds the copy, and leave the problem of re-creating indexes (there are several). There ought to be some graceful way to tell it to add the column to the existing table and play nice with ongoing traffic.
I have run the select query which returned one row. There is one column in it which has got large amount of data. I want to copy the complete content of that column(varchar(max)), but I am unable to do it. It's not the xml data. I don't want to do any conversions.
I am getting the following error on my SSIS package. It runs a large amount of script components, and processes hundred of thousands of rows.
The exact error is: The value is too large to fit in the column data area of the buffer.
I redirect the error rows to another table. When I run just those records individually they import without error, but when run with the group of 270,000 other records it fails with that error. Can anyone point me to the cause of this issue, how to resolve, etc.
I have a variable nvarchar(1000) that I ma reading into the buffer of a data flow task in the script component script task. It gives me this error: "Script component exception.........The value is too large to fit in the column data area of the buffer."
I looked at the BufferColumn members and tried to set the maxlength to 1500. But it does not help.
Hello there,I have and small excel file, which when I try to import into SQlServer will give an error "Data for source column 4 is too large forthe specified buffer size"I have four columns in the excel file, one of the column contains alarge chunk of data so I created a table in SQL Server and changed thetype of the field to text so I could accomodate this field but stillno luck.Any suggestions as to how to go about this.Thanks in advance,Srikanth pai
i need to add a datetime column to an exisitng table that has like 1.2 million records and its being accessed frequently but i cant afford to stop the db at all
whenever i do : alter table mytable add Updated_date datetime
it just takes too long and i have to stop executing the query after a couple of mins I am running sql express 2005 sp2. db size is over 3 gb but still under the 4 gb limit
can u plz advice on how to add this column. its urgent!!
We have a table to 100M rows and up until now we were fine with an non clustered index a varchar(4000) because we never went above 900 bytes (yes it is a bad design).We have the need to support international character sets now so the column was updated to nvarchar(4000) and now we have data past the 900 byte limit.
The data is long, seems useless but is needed by the business and they need to be able to search "where bigcolumn like 'test%'". With an index, even with a huge amount of data, it was 'fast'. Now of course without an index it is unusable. The wildcard is always at the end of the search. I made a full text index on the column and basic queries such as: select * from ourtable where contains(bigcolumn, 'AReallyLongStringofTextHere') works fine unless there is a space in the data. We loose thousands of returned rows because of spaces in the data.
I have tried select * from ourtable where contains(bigcolumn, '"AReallyLongStringofTextHere that includes spaces"') but not all of the data is returned. I get 112 rows with the contains statement. The table scanning statement of "select * from ourtable where bigcolumn like 'AReallyLongStringofTextHere that includes spaces%' returns 1939 rows.I understand that a full text index is breaking the long string up since it contains spaces. Is there a way to retain the entire string as 1 index entry or is there a way to fix my query to return all of the rows?
I have a problem to import xls file to sql table, using MS SQL 2000 server. Actual main problem associated with it is xls file contain one colum having large amount of text which length is approximate 1500 characters. I am trying to resolve it through like save xls to csv or text file then import but it also can not copy whole text of that column, like any column in xls having 995 characters then text or csv file contain 560 characater. So, it is also wrong.
I need to update a large table, about 55 million rows, without filling the transaction log, in the shortest time as possible. The goal is to alter the table and change the data type for Text column from VARCHAR(7900) to NVARCHAR(MAX).
Since I cannot do it with an ALTER TABLE statement (it would fill up the transaction log) I'm thinking to:
- rename column Text in Text_OLD - add Text column of type NVARCHAR(MAX) - copy values in batches from Text_OLD to Text
The table is defined like:
create table DATATEXT( rID INTEGER NOT NULL, sID INTEGER NOT NULL, pID INTEGER NOT NULL, cID INTEGER NOT NULL, err TINYINT NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
I've thought about a stored procedure doing this but how to copy values in batch from Text_OLD to Text.
The code I would start with (doing just this part) is the following, but maybe there are more efficient ways to do it, or at least there's a better way to select @startSeq in the WHILE loop (avoiding to select a bunch of 100000 sequences and later selecting the max).
declare @startSeq timestamp declare @lastSeq timestamp select @lastSeq = MAX(sequence) from [DATATEXT] where [Text] is null select @startSeq = MIN(Sequence) FROM [DATATEXT] where [Text]is null BEGIN TRANSACTION T1 WHILE @startSeq < @lastSeq
In my quest to get the Script Component as Source to work, I've come upon an error that says "The value is too large to fit in the column data area of the buffer.". Of course, I went through the futile attempt to get debugging to work. After struggling and more searching, I found that I need to run Dts.Events.FireProgress to debug in a Script Component. However, despite the fact that the script says:
I get a new error saying: Error 30451: Name 'Dts' is not declared. Its like I am using the wrong namespace, but all documentation indicates that Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper is the correct namespace. I understand that I can use System.Windows.Form.MessageBox.Show, but iterating through 100 items makes this too cumbersome. Any idea what I may be missing now?

It just takes a LOT of time in SQL Server Management studio. I have to cancel the query and cancelling takes a whole lot time. I am using SQL Server 2008.
i have a weird situation here, i tried to load a unicode file with a flat file source component, one of file lines has data like any other line but also contains the character "ÿ" which i can't see or find it and replace it with empty string, the source component parses the line correctly but if there is a data type error in this line, the error output for that line gives me this character "ÿ" instead of the original line.
simply, the error output of flat file source component fail to get the original line when the line contains hidden "ÿ".
