I have two SSIS packages that import from the same flat file into the same SQL 2005 table. I have one flat file connection (to a comma delimited file) and one OLE DB connection (to a SQL 2005 Database). Both packages use these same two Connection Managers. The SQL table allows NULL values for all fields. The flat file has "empty values" (i.e., ,"", ) for certain columns.
The first package uses the Data Flow Task with the "Keep nulls" property of the OLE DB Destination Editor unchecked. The columns in the source and destination are identically named thus the mapping is automatically assigned and is mapped based on ordinal position (which is equivalent to the mapping using Bulk Insert). When this task is executed no null values are inserted into the SQL table for the "empty values" from the flat file. Empty string values are inserted instead of NULL.
The second package uses the Bulk Insert Task with the "KeepNulls" property for the task (shown in the Properties pane when the task in selected in the Control Flow window) set to "False". When the task is executed NULL values are inserted into the SQL table for the "empty values" from the flat file.
So using the Data Flow Task " " (i.e., blank) is inserted. Using the Bulk Insert Task NULL is inserted (i.e., nothing is inserted, the field is skipped, the value for the record is omitted).
I want to have the exact same behavior on my data in the Bulk Insert Task as I do with the Data Flow Task.
Using the Bulk Insert Task, what must I do to have the Empty String values inserted into the SQL table where there is an "empty value" in the flat file? Why & how does this occur automatically in the Data Flow Task?
From a SQL Profile Trace comparison of the two methods I do not see where the syntax of the insert command nor the statements for the preceeding captured steps has dictated this change in the behavior of the inserted "" value for the recordset. Please help me understand what is going on here and how to accomplish this using the Bulk Insert Task.
I am doing a temporary retro-upgrade right now. So, I know this isn't exactly in the scope of ASP.Net. Ordinally my posts are. However, I need a VBScript example of how to insert the Date only into the DateTime field of an SQL 2000 Server. By default, if you try to, the server automatically adds the date "1/1/1900". Can anyone help me please?
Hi I'm using DetailView and I have a text box which show the date. I have formated the date as shortDate {0:d} format. I want to insert/update null if that text box is empty. I have tried putting null value in my Update statement in sqlDataSource. And I'm getting error saying can't convert varchar to smalldatetime. If I don't set null value as above, some large date (01/01/2033) has been inserted in my database. Can anyone help me? Moe
I would like to be able to insert a time value only into a SQL 7 table colum which has been set as a datetime datatype. When I insert '12:34:44 PM' into the colum it actually inserts '1900-1-1 12:34:44 PM'. An Access table will allow you to insert the time value without adding the '1/1/1900' date value. Can this be done in SQL7?
BULK INSERT itis.taxonomic_units FROM '<dir path to input file>/taxonomic_units.txt' WITH ( FIELDTERMINATOR = '|', ROWTERMINATOR = '|', KEEPIDENTITY, KEEPNULLS
)
Here is a sample of a row that I get an error when it is processed through the above BULK INSERT statement: 50||Bacteria||||||||invalid||No review; untreated NODC data|unknown|unknown||1996-06-13 14:51:08.0||||1|10|07/29/1996|| The error is:
Server: Msg 4864, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Bulk insert data conversion error (type mismatch) for row 1, column 17 (initial_time_stamp).
Just to make things easier on anyone who tries to help me solve this problem, the field that causes my Bulk insert statement to choke contains the data: "1996-06-13 14:51:08.0". Why is this happening? Any thoughts on how to solve it? I have been scouring help articles all day with no resolution to this problem.
I have a table adapter for one of my SQL2005 tables, and in two different fields I accept a date time. Now 99% of the times, new rows to this table will be filled out using DateTIme.Now(), as a Time Stamp is what I'm going for.
Here is the line of code in question...cops_current_data_adapter.Insert(ProductOrder, Convert.ToInt16(Session["StationId"].ToString()), PartNumber, DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now, Convert.ToInt16(qty), 0); The second DateTime.Now is the one that can be null, and it's throwing a formatting error everytime I try and drop it in there. It's a FormatException, and there's not much more to the example except unhelpful tips like be careful when conveting a string to a dateTime, which I'm not doing. Needless to say for the code to compile, and then throw a Format error at runtime is a bit frustraiting. Any suggestions would be most appreciated
Is there a way to adjust a date and time depending on the users locale before inserting into the database?
Users login in and their country of residence is stored in the database on signup. My server is in the US and I want to reset part of the users db record when it's the end of the day in their country so I need to enter the date and time into the db plus or minus the time difference, is there a function written to do this already or would i need to write my own?
I'm trying to unpivot a table in SSIS: The pivoted table basically looks like
ID DATE1 TEXT1 DATE2 TEXT2
----------------------------------
ID1 D1 T1 D2 T2
...
The unpivoted result looks like
ID DATE TEXT
-------------------
ID1 D1 T1
ID1 D2 T2
€¦
It works, but the one problem I am facing is: If D1 IS NULL in the pivoted table then D1 in the unpivoted table contains some strange value that is neither NULL nor a valid datetime. In a data viewer I get the in the DATE field "Fehler: Die Parameter Year, Month and Day beschreiben eine nicht darstellbare Datetime." (i. e. "Error: The parameters Year, Month and Day form an invalid datetime."). The loading of the OLE DB target yields an error because the DATE value cannot be converted to a valid datetime.
i have a student table and i created a stored procedure to insert a new student in this table but student_id field wich i put it as primary key got error because allready record has same value .how i can know the last row's student_id value and input a new valid value in one stored procedure thanks
Hi all, having a little problem with saving dates to sql databaseI've got the CreatedOn field in the table set to datetime type, but every time i try and run it i get an error kicked up Error "The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.The statement has been terminated."I've tried researching it but not been able to find something similar. Heres the code: DateTime createOn = DateTime.Now;string sSQLStatement = "INSERT INTO Index (Name, Description, Creator,CreatedOn) values ('" + name + "','" + description + "','" + userName + "','" + createOn + "')"; Any help would be much appreciated
I am trying to drag data from Informix to Sql Server. When I kick off the package using an OLE DB Source and a SQL Server Destination, I get DT_DBDATE to DT_DBTIMESTAMP errors on two fields from Informix which are date data ....no timestamp part
I tried a couple of things:
Created a view of the Informix table where I cast the date fields as datetime year to fraction(5), which failed.
Altered the view to convert the date fields to char(10) with the hopes that SQL Server would implicitly cast them as datetime but it failed.
Hi all, I have three textboxes in a form view 1- Qty textbox 2- price textbox 3-TotalPrice textbox which value is the result of multiplying the previous two values and then I want to Bind() the third value to the totalprice field in the database how can I do that?? (without making the database field as a computed column)
Does anyone knows what is the evaluation order for expressions attached to "Value" property and "BackgroundColor" property for a field.
My problem is if a field is being changed in its value property to a particular value, will this changed value be recognised immediately by the Backgroundcolor property during its rule evaluation, it does not seem to be the case.
I have 5 textboxs and 1 botton in web form. I want to click botton and insert all data in textbox to database that using sql server 2005. Please help me
I have followed all the tutorials and I think I have a pretty good grasp on how to get info from the SQL database running on my machine in the App Data directory. My question is simple and probably the answer is nested in the 148 pages of this very informative forum. How do I take the 15 textbox fields worth of data and insert them into the SQL db? I am pretty familiar with general sql concepts (mysql, mssql, postgresql), but I have only been in this IDE for about a week now and I need to get my project up and running quickly. I am just unfamiliar with VB in general, but I do understand the object.method concept. I gathered that I need to make the insert statement part of the button click "event". I cannot find any good "starter" documentation on getting this process to work. I understand the grid and form and detail view really well and have tested my 2nd app with success, but it requires the db to be populated by a web front end. I have read a few MSDN links but they are not helping much, they just keep linking me back to grid and detal and form views. Help? Please? Pretty Please?- Chris
I have been battling this for 2 days! I could write a book on what does not work. I have even tried entering the data manually through the 'Open Table' SSMS function from the Object Explorer. I only have 5 records in the table. The first 4 I added a week or so ago during dev from the ASP.Net 2.0 (w VB) website that is the front end for this DB. I use a DAL between the site and DB.I added two new fields the other day and everything seemed to work fine. Now I get 'Siteid CANNOT BE NULL'. I abandoned attempts to Insert from the Website. The following was done directly through SSMS.I switched all of the columns (except PK) to allow nulls. I could add/update a record, no problem, even with directly typed data in some fields. I could also add one with only one field populated (some have defaults, some do not).Here is the table code:USE [bro122]GO/****** Object: Table [dbo].[tbsaDrem] Script Date: 10/31/2007 18:46:34 ******/SET ANSI_NULLS ONGOSET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ONGOSET ANSI_PADDING ONGOCREATE TABLE [dbo].[tbsaDrem]([DremID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,[CustID] [int] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbsaDrem_CustID] DEFAULT ((0)),[RealityYN] [bit] NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbsaDrem_ContractYN] DEFAULT ((0)),[DreamName] [varchar](30) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbsaDrem_DreamName] DEFAULT ('New (Modify Name)'),[SiteID] [int] NOT NULL,[SitePremPric] [money] NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbsaDrem_SiteBasePric] DEFAULT ((0)),[NbhdBasePric] [money] NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbsaDrem_NbhdBasePric] DEFAULT ((0)),[PlanCtlgID] [int] NOT NULL,[PlanPric] [money] NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbsaDrem_PlanPric] DEFAULT ((0)),[SpecTotl] [money] NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbsaDrem_SpecTotl] DEFAULT ((0)),[DremTotl] AS ((([NbhdBasePric]+[SitePremPric])+[PlanPric])+[SpecTotl]) PERSISTED,[Modified] [datetime] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbsaDrem_Modified] DEFAULT (getdate()),[ModUser] [varchar](25) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbsaDrem_ModUser] DEFAULT ('None'),[Created] [datetime] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbsaScenario_CreatedDate] DEFAULT (getdate()),[ts] [timestamp] NOT NULL,CONSTRAINT [PK_tbsaDremID] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([DremID] ASC)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 60) ON [PRIMARY]) ON [PRIMARY]GOSET ANSI_PADDING OFFGOEXEC sys.sp_addextendedproperty @name=N'MS_Description', @value=N'This is flagged with a Trigger when a Dream becomes a Reality.

If a column is set to allow nulls I know that a constraint can be used to supply a default (i.e. GetDate() ) when no value is provided but what about when an explicit NULL is provided in an INSERT or UPDATE statement?Is there any way other then an AFTER trigger to substitute a value for an explicitly provided NULL? In other words, assuming that dtAsof is a NULL enabled column, is there any way to over ride what the following will do to MYTABLE:
If there's no way to do this in SQL Server 2008R2 then what about later versions of SQL Server? Do any more recent versions have a way to deal with this? We have a third party app that uses a SQL Server back end and many of the tables have columns for storing audit like data such as date/time but many are left to NULL values and I'd really like to fix that in as passive a way as possible so as to not break the app that uses the database. I know a constraint with a default can be sued to over ride a null but not when a null is explicitly provided.

Hi, it is few days I posted here my question, but received no answer. Maybe the problem is just my problem, maybe I put my question some strange way. OK, I try to put it again, more simply. I have few textboxes, their values I need to transport to database. I set SqlDataSource, parameters... and used SqlDataSource.Insert() method. I got NULL values in the database's record. So I tried find problem by using Microsoft's sample code from address http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.sqldatasource.insert.aspx. After some changes I tried that code and everything went well, data were put into database. Next step was to separate code beside and structure of page to two separate files followed by new test. Good again, data were delivered to database. Next step: to use MasterPage, very simple, just with one ContentPlaceHolder. After this step the program stoped to deliver data to database and delivers only NULLs to new record. It is exactly the same problem which I have found in my application. The functionless code is here:http://forums.asp.net/thread/1437716.aspx I cannot find any answer this problem on forums worldwide. I cannot believe it is only my problem. I compared html code of two generated pages - with maserPage and without. There are differentions in code in ids' of input fields generated by NET.Framework:Without masterpage:<input name="NazevBox" type="text" id="NazevBox" /><span id="RequiredFieldValidator1" style='color:Red;visibility:hidden;'>Please enter a company name.</span><p><input name="CodeBox" type="text" id="CodeBox" /><span id="RequiredFieldValidator2" style='color:Red;visibility:hidden;'>Please enter a phone number.</span><p><input type="submit" name="Button1" value="Insert New Shipper" onclick="javascript:WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions("Button1", "", true, "", "", false, false))" id="Button1" /> With masterpage:<input name="ctl00$Obsah$NazevBox" type="text" id="ctl00_Obsah_NazevBox" /><span id="ctl00_Obsah_RequiredFieldValidator1" style='color:Red;visibility:hidden;'>Please enter a company name.</span><p><input name="ctl00$Obsah$CodeBox" type="text" id="ctl00_Obsah_CodeBox" /><span id="ctl00_Obsah_RequiredFieldValidator2" style='color:Red;visibility:hidden;'>Please enter a phone number.</span><p><input type="submit" name="ctl00$Obsah$Button1" value="Insert New Shipper" onclick="javascript:WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions("ctl00$Obsah$Button1", "", true, "", "", false, false))" id="ctl00_Obsah_Button1" />In second case ids' of input fields have different names, but I hope it is inner business of NET.Framework.There must be something I haven't noticed, maybe NET's bug, maybe my own. Thanks for any suggestion.
I have a stored procedure that is using Like and a parameter to query by Social Security Number. Not all of my records have SSN's, so some are null.
When I run the stored procedure and use the "%" to show everything, it does not show any records that are null. I have tried to use the IsNull funtion to give the null values a value of 'none', but that did not help.
I have a Stored Procedure as followsUSE [MyDataBase] GO /****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[SPLogins] Script Date: 05/24/2008 21:58:50 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS OFF GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO Create PROCEDURE [dbo].[SPLogins] ( @LoginName varchar(50), @LoginD int output, ) AS Select @LoginID = LoginID From MyDatabase Where (LoginName Is not Null) and @LoginName = LoginName
I am trying to check for a null value in the Stored Procedure. I dont' get an error, but it doesn't catch the "null" and gives an error when there is a null value What Is the correct wayt to go about it.
I'm creating a search tool that a users can type their search criteria into a textbox and retrieve records that relate to the textbox values. I don't want it to search on the whole phrase, just individual words. So, I used the Split() method to split up the textbox.text and then I use that array to fill my stored proc with a search criteria. The problem is that it does it one word at a time. So if the user types 3 words in the textbox, it will open and close the stored proc 3 times. It works, but I know it's not the greatest way to do it and I was wondering if there is a better way to do it. There has to be a way to split up the textbox value inside the stored proc so I don't have to open the stored proc n number of times. Any ideas?
