Format Of The Initialization String Does Not Conform To The OLE DB Specification.
Feb 5, 2008
In Server Explorer I am trying to add a data connection for OUR database using OUR own ole db data provider. Procedure below-
1. Right click "Data Connections"
2. Click "Add Connection...", "Change Data Source" dialog is displayed.
3. Select "other" and ".NET Framework Data Provider for OLE DB". Click OK. "Add Connection" dialog is displayed.
4. Select "OLE DB Provider". I selected OUR provider.
5. Edit necessary properties. Click OK.
6. An error dialog is displayed saying "Format of the initialization string does not conform to the OLE DB specification."
If I go back to the "Add Connection" dialog(after clicking OK on error) and click "Advanced", I see connection string as--
Provider=OURPROVIDER;Data Source=our_backend;Password=password;User ID=admin;Initial Catalog=mydb
I am not able to find out what/where went wrong. I tried this conneciton string in a c# program, it works perfectly fine.
Can anyone help me on why I am getting this error with our provider in SSIS?
It is SQL Server 2005. I am trying to create an SSIS package for OUR database engine with OUR OLE DB provider.
In Server Explorer I am trying to add a data connection for OUR database using OUR own ole db data provider. Procedure below- 1. Right click "Data Connections" 2. Click "Add Connection...", "Change Data Source" dialog is displayed. 3. Select "other" and ".NET Framework Data Provider for OLE DB". Click OK. "Add Connection" dialog is displayed. 4. Select "OLE DB Provider". I selected OUR provider. 5. Edit necessary properties. Click OK. 6. An error dialog is displayed saying "Format of the initialization string does not conform to the OLE DB specification."
I did some tracing. My observations are-
Connection string is built internally as "Provider=MYOLEDB;Password=password;Data Source=myserver;User ID=admin;Initial Catalog=SYSTEM;Window Handle=984398;Prompt=CompleteRequired"
The last property causes this issue. i.e. presence of 'Prompt=CompleteRequired' is the problem.
I tried this with simple c# test program to connect. If I pass the whole connection string as above to OleDbConnection() it gives the error-- "Format of the initialization string does not conform to the OLE DB specification."
It works fine if I pass connection string removing last property, i.e. "Provider=MYOLEDB;Password=password;Data Source=myserver;User ID=admin;Initial Catalog=SYSTEM;Window Handle=984398"
So the problem is that the connection string built contains 'Prompt=CompleteRequired' at the end. Our provider returns DBPROMPT_NOPROMPT for DBPROP_INIT_PROMPT property. Still why the connection string is built as 'Prompt=CompleteRequired'?
Probably this is because of missing something in properties/implementation. What is it?
can't figure out this error. i think i'm writing something wrong in the connnection string. i'm using SQL Server Express, if that helps. in my config file: <connectionStrings> <add name="OfficialScribblerConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|OfficialScribbler.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> </connectionStrings> in my aspx file:Dim DBConnection = New OleDbConnection("OfficialScribblerConnectionString") DBConnection.Open() Dim SQLString As String = "SELECT PostedDate From Entries_tbl ORDER BY PostedDate"

I have to convert From Sybase to SQL Server and I've got fields type in Sybase which are long varchar (length around 60000). At first, I convert in format text but SQL Server refused to pass this type for parameters in stored procedures when i need that. So I have used varchar(8000) in stored procedures. But I'm afraid it would be truncated in the application. So what is long varchar in SQL Server and how to use that by optimistic way ? Thanks

I have verified that Label1.Text has a value that looks like an integer. What is causing the problem? Is there a better way of creating a new record in the child table and making one of the fields match the primary key of the parent table? Thanks.

Can anybody point me to a list of all valid string formats for passing in datetime variables into SQL server. Ideally I just want to put in a date and not bother with a time
I am trying to do an insert into a SQL server table but I am getting an "input string was not in correct format" error. Does this error always refer to SQL string problem? I put in a breakpoint and looked at the SQL and it looks good but until I figure this out I will be tracing through the code. Any input greatly appreciated.

I seem to be having a problem in getting a string formatted correctly that I'm pulling from a SQL Datasource.I'm trying to format a Datalist, and more specifically, a Paypal "Add to Cart" button that's supposed to pass several values to another page. The problem I have is with passing the price amount. All the data is in a SQL Express database and the price field is in the database as "money". However it outputs the dollar amount with too many trailing zeros, for example $6.00 is formatted as 6.0000. I'm trying to pass it into the form variable with this code:<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="<%# DataBinder.eval(Container.dataitem, "Price", "{0}" %>">Unfortunately, that tends to make include the trailing zeros and mess up the ability to pass the variable. Can anyone help me with how to format this variable so there's no trailing zeros, just so that $6.00 comes out as 6.00 and not 6.0000?Thanks
I'm new here so I'm not sure if this is the correct spot to post this question but here goes.
In the cube design view under the Calculations tab I have several calculated members that I have created. Each of these are dollar amount fields for which I have defined a Format String property as follows:
Format String: "$#,##0;($#,##0);;N/A"
This format correctly handles my positive value, Negative value and my NULL value the way I want. However I need to deloy this cube on one of my UK severs and I don't want the $ but instead I would like the pound sign without having to recreate this entire project to do so. I have tried the following syntax but it is incorrect.
Format String "Currency;;;N/A"
Can someone help me with the correct way to code the property so that I can get my currecy symbol based on the regional setting as well as handle my NULL values.
