Excel And Database Datatype Conflict

Sep 16, 2006

Hello,

For
a couple of weeks i am struggling with an excel import and export
application to sqlserver as i have to do it through an external
application and not through the Export Import Utility in sql server.

My most recent problem is:
The understanding of field values by sql server and excel.

1. I need to import into a table whose fields are varchar type.
2. I have to use as datasource- an Excel sheet(.xls file).
3. Some fields in excel contain numbers (Length up to 10 or
more digits).
4. For this I first format the cells'(in Excel file) datatype
into "Text".
5. Even then after importing into a table(say tblTemp) whose
schema/structure, is

CREATE TABLE [tblTemp] (
[rowId] int IDENTITY(1,1),
[Account Number] varchar(30) not null ,
[Mobile Number] varchar(30) null,
[Name] varchar(100) null
)
, and to import into this table im using select into query
with datasource as the excel file(Data Source=ExcelFile.xls),

the table fields show exponential values(may be float
datatype).

Shall
any one suggest me how shall i get values from excel sheet with
datatype varchar and import into the above said table as varchar values
(with out any exponential types).

Integration Services :: SSIS Excel Connection Datatype

Jun 24, 2011

Find data below

ColA            ColB
74378             11213
312             21312
34                 234
7329             27924

[Code] ....

Using excel connection to load data to SQL Server When I try doing this character data is loading as nulls, I have tried by putting IMEX=1 property in connection string and removing IMEX=1 property from connection string , in both cases it is showing nulls, in the data viewer which i have placed after Excel source. I have also tried using the OPENROWSET which for some reason does not create an adhoc connection. I also tried changing the Datatypes in the advanced editor which again throws error. For some reason SSIS excel connection reads only the first 8 rows and decides a datatype and rest showup NULL.

Numeric Datatype To Ssis Variable Datatype Conversion Problem

Apr 24, 2008



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

Storing Hh:mm:ss In Database Which Datatype?

Jan 13, 2004

I have a bit of a dilema, that maybe someone can give a reccomendation on. I have a vb app that will calculate a duration that a process runs in hours:minutes:seconds. My question is should I store this in the database as a date/time field or calculate total seconds and store it as an integer field? I will be using this field for basic summing calculations in the future. Thanks for any help.

Trouble Converting Datatype For Database Insert

Dec 7, 2004

Hi,
I need to take a value from a textbox and insert it into a field in my database which takes decimals. My problem, no matter what I try I cannot convert the value so that the database will accept it. This all happens when the submit button is hit on my webpage. Here is the cmdSubmit_click sub code:

Dim surveyNum As Decimal = Decimal.Parse(txtSurveyNum.Text, Globalization.NumberStyles.Number)
myCmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO survey(ID) VALUES('" & surveyNum & "')"
myCmd.Parameters.Add("surveyNum", SqlDbType.Decimal)
myCmd.Parameters("surveyNum").Value = System.Convert.ToDecimal(txtSurveyNum.Text)

myConn.Open()
Try
myCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
lblMessage.Text = "Record successfully updated"
Catch
lblMessage.Text = "Query error: " & Err.Description
End Try
myConn.Close()

Thnx in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Problem Inserting Sql Query Into Database Float Datatype Field Using SQL Transaction

Aug 22, 2006

I have this problem of inserting my query into database field. My code is as of below.
The @AVERAGESCORE parameter is derived from
Dim averagescore As Single = (122 * 1 + 159 * 2 + 18 * 3 + 3 * 4 + 0 * 5) / (122 + 159 + 18 + 3 + 0)
and the value returned is  (averagescore.toString("0.00"))
However, I have error inserting the averagescore variable into a field of datatype float during the transaction. I have no problems when using non transactional sql insert methods. What could be the problem?
  Try
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To arraySql.Count - 1
myCommand = New SqlCommand
Dim consolidatedobjitem As ConsolidatedObjItem = arraySql(i)
myCommand.CommandText = sqlStr
myCommand.Connection = myConnection
myCommand.Transaction = myTrans
With myCommand.Parameters

.Add(New SqlParameter("@AVERAGESCORE", consolidatedobjitem.getaveragescore))

End With
myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
Next
myTrans.Commit()
myConnection.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
Console.Write(ex.Message)
myTrans.Rollback()
myConnection.Close()
End Try

SqlDbType.Int, 4 - Does Specifying The Parameter Datatype Size Eventually Stop Auto Increment In The Database

Jun 17, 2008

Hi, I'm specify the size of the interger dataypes in my code behind files; e.g.
commad.Parameters.Add("@SomeID", SqlDbType.Int, 4)
I know it may seem silly, but I have to ask:
Will specifying ths size (i.e. 4) eventually stop the auto-icnrement of the underlying primary key SomeID in the SQL Server 2005 database?
What restriction, if any, does this place if the next SomeID value is 10000, which is 5 digits? or 999999, which is 6 digits?
Thank you

XP - SQL 7 Conflict?

Jan 7, 2002

Hi!

Does anybody know if there are any conflicts using an XP computer as server and running SQL 7.0 on it?

I have a laptop using Windows XP, that I also have installed SQL 7.0 on (desktop version). I use it both as a client and as a server. As a client I am connecting to the NT server and it is working perfectly. When I try to run my SQL developed software against the local server though, I get a message saying
"-2147217900 - Duplicate record or Record is in use.
The request for procedure "TABLE NAME" failed because "TABLE NAME" is a table object"

Any suggestions how to solve this?

thanx in advance

Whatever The Database Excel Is THE Reporting App.

Jun 23, 2004

I work as Online Excel Developer and I develop analyzing and reporting applications downstream from all kinds of database or specialized applications from SQL to Oracle, SAP, etc.

To do the job (transforming data into information) I use the SUMPRODUCT function in 75% of the applications that I develop.

This function ignored by many is the function that makes Excel the best reporting tool. It allows the user to transform any database extract into a report. With it you can sum a column (amounts) based on ANY number of criteria located in other columns (account, city, product,...). It is simple to use yet one of the most powerful function in Excel for Accountants, Financial Analysts and Data Analysts.

There is an example on my website at:

Conflict History

Feb 13, 2001

Hi

I'm using merge replication between 10 SQL server 7.0 SP2 machines. One central server is the publisher and 9 subscribers. I’ve setup an alert to get a message in case of conflicts. I defined it to trigger everytime the performance counter conflicts/sec rises above 0.

After some experimenting this seems now to work reliable, but there is still one point which bothers me. All conflicts are kept in the conflict history and everytime I get a message through the alert the number of copnflicts stated in the message increases by one.
Also if I open view replication conflicts in EM all conflicts can still be viewed even those I manually resolved. I can't even find a way to seen which conflicts are new ones and which have been resolved already. Does anybody know a way how to reset this numbers without going through all the conflict tables.

Collation Conflict

Mar 2, 2006

Hi all,

I have a db server which was installed with Collation 'SQL_Latin_General_CP1_CS_AS' and now I have to replace this server with a new server and I want to install this server with Collation 'SQL_Latin_General_CP1_CI_AS'.

I am using Linked Servers to collect some data from my Sybase database which has "Code Page 850 (Multilingual) character set,us_english,Binary ordering, for use with Code Page 850 (cp850)."

But with new SQL server(case-insensitive settings), I am unable to run a select query (joining a local server and sybase server) and I get an error message "cannot resolve collation conflict for equal to operation"

I have tried changing property of linked server by specifying Remote server collation to true and Collation Name as 'SQL_Latin_General_CP1_CS_AS' as well as 'SQL_Latin_General_CP850_Bin' but I do get the same error message.

Could any of you please help me in this regard ?

Thanks in advance.

Wilson

Edit: Sorted out. Somehow it is working now after specifying Remote server collation to true and Collation Name as 'SQL_Latin_General_CP1_CS_AS'

Collation Conflict (DHL)

Aug 8, 2007

Moving code from Sybase to SQL Server 2005. I have two tables. One table (vINID) is reset and populated right before this code runs. The other table (vINPA) is a table in the database used by the Front End App. This is the error I get when I try and run on our SQL Server 2005.

Msg 468, Level 16, State 9, Line 1
Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and "Latin1_General_BIN" in the equal to operation.

Here is the SQL code:

SELECT DISTINCT
vINID.BLEI_CK,
vINID.BLIV_ID,
ISNULL(vINPA.RCPT_AMT,0) AS RCPT_AMT

FROM Reporting_DEV.dbo.RPT_04597_INID AS vINID -- table re-populated

LEFT JOIN fauafpr0_pids.dbo.CDS_INPA_PMT_ACT AS vINPA
ON vINPA.BLIV_ID = vINID.BLIV_ID

WHERE vINID.BLIV_ID = '071600007594'

Thank you for your help.

Update Conflict

Mar 14, 2008

I have merge replication set with with one publisher and three subscribers (push subscription). From time to time I get the following in the conflict table:

"The same row was updated at both 'Publisher.database' and 'Subscriber.database'. The resolver chose the update from 'Publisher.database' as the winner"

This is weird because the UPDATE only happend at the given subscriber. I checked the publisher and all other subscribers and there was never an UPDATE on this table. Also, the update at the publisher was actually the record that was already present.

I'm kinda stuck here. Any help or comments are greatly appreciated.

Index Name Conflict

Jul 20, 2005

i have a dts package that is going to run at night and pull data from2 tables in an Oracle db and load it to 2 staging tables that mypackage creates in sql server 2000. i then execute a few sprocs toand columns, indexes, etc. after that all happens successfully i wantto delete the two production tables and rename the staging tables totake their place.the problem is that when i run the sproc to add the indexes,constraints, etc i get an error because objects with the same nameexist on the 2 production tables. i can't delete the productiontables until the very last step. i thought about generating a randomnumber in my sproc and using it as the name of the index but thatseems crude and messy. any ideas?
