Changing Data Type

May 21, 2006

Use databases a bit, but new to SQL Server. We just want to change a column of existing SQL Server 2005 data from a string data type to one of the UNiCODE data types, such as DT_WSTR or DT.NTEXT (such as one can use for various data mining tasks, etc.). It seems to do this one needs to "the data conversion transformation editor". To use that one has to have a package and a project?

Does any one have a full script or set of steps to do the full set of steps for what should be a simple task? This would be a great example for BOL, but each atomistic bit of BOL refers to another, and one gets lost in the circle when a complete example is needed for fundamantal housekeeping tasks.

Changing Data Type From Char To Datetime

Mar 2, 2007

Thanks in adance

Platform: SQL 2000

A SQL table has a field named "pay-day" with Char(8) data type.

I tried to change its data type to datetime but only with an error message like this. I did right-click the table and tried to modify a data type.

- Unable to modify table.
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.

Changing Data Type To The Fields Of My Tables.

Nov 21, 2006

Hello.

i have a database with 300 tables. All the data types of the fields of my tables are custom. Ex. IFGint:int and stuff like that.

I want to know how can i through a stored procedure, change in batch mode all the fields of my tables. I don't want to modify by hand everytable. It's a lot of work and i think that maybe there might be a way for this programatically.

thanks in advance

Changing The Owner Of A User-defined Data Type

Jul 20, 2005

Hi GuysWonder if you could help me.Basically I produce an accounts package that uses a SQL 2000 DB as theRDBMS. I always instruct users to login as 'sa' and the relevantpassword when doing an update to my program, as sometimes I need to dodatabase changes for new stuff.Found that one of my users has not only logged in with their loginname (in this case Edward), but have also made this login a 'db owner'so that when I created 2 new user-defined data types they belong toEdward rather than dbo.This must have happened a long time ago, but now that they want tomove Edward round the roles and/or delete him from a copy of thedatabase that they have, they can't because he's the owner of theseuser-defined types.This brings me to the reason for my post, how can I change the ownerfrom Edward to dbo for these data types? I found an article ontechnet of how to do this, but when it suggests changing myuser-defined type to standard format it doesn't seem to work.Any ideas?RgdsRobbie

Changing ConnectionString Settings

Jun 5, 2006

Hello all. I created an app locally with VWD Express and moved it to to our server but I am getting the following error...
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file D:WebApp_DataSurvey.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
This is the connectionstring from the web.config file used on the server. I did not change anything from the local copy.
<connectionStrings>
<add name="SurveyConnectionString1" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Survey.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
What settings do I need to change in order for this to work? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Changing Language Settings

Jan 23, 2004

Hi,

I was wondering how to change the language settings on SQL Server. The server is currently set to US English, and I was wondering how it is possible to change it to UK English. The Server Regional Settings are set to UK English.

Also, on a semi-related topic, does SQL Server store dates in a universal format, and then when data is requested does it 'translate' these dates into the format required by that particular regional setting?

Thank you for any input

Changing SQL Server Agent Settings On The Fly?

Mar 19, 2007

Hello all,

I have created a simple package that imports data from a flat file into a database. To run the package I'm using a SQL Server Agent Job. The location of the file is stored as a connection string in the Connection Managers tab in the SQL Server Agent Job.

Is there a way to change this connection string programmatically? If not programmatically, is there a way to change this setting right before I execute the package. I want to change the location of this file based on user input. Also, I'm executing the package using the sp_start_job stored procedure to run the job.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Changing Database Server Locale Date Time Settings ?

Jun 15, 2007

Hi There



We currently have the following scenario:

4 app servers with regional date and time settings of locale A.

1 database server with locale settings B.



What is happening is that timestamps are being generated on the app servers, these are then in a sql command which fails on the database server since the timestamp format is invalid.



It was suggested that we change the regional locale settings of the database server, but will this not have serious implications , for example every current timestamp format in the datbase will become invalid?



In a nutshell is it safe to change a database servers regional date time locale settings ? Or are there serious implications?



Thanx

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The Conversion Of A Char Data Type To A Datetime Data Type Resulted In An Out-of-range Datetime Value.

Dec 14, 2005

After testing out the application i write on the local pc. I deploy it to the webserver to test it out. I get this error.

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The conversion of a char data type to a
datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.

Notes: all pages that have this error either has a repeater or datagrid which load data when page loading.

At first I thought the problem is with the date, but then I can see
that some other pages that has datagrid ( that has a date field) work
just fine.

anyone having this problem before?? hopefully you guys can help.

Type I Slowly Changing Dimension

May 16, 2008

I have a Type I SCD situation, ie, insert if new (by checking the business ID) and update if any attributes for a given business ID has changed.

The way I usually do this, (and I believe this is how most people do it), is I use a LOOKUP TASK to determine if the business ID exsist in the target table. If it doesn't then I insert. If the business ID exists, then I bring back the associated attributes and use a CONDITIONAL SPLIT TASK to compare if any of the incoming attributes are different. If there are changes, then update.

In doing this comparision, I often run into situations where I end up comparing a NULL value to something, which does not result in FALSE, but a NULL result. To get around this, I first check for NULLs and convert them into something valid before I do the comparision, but this results in a messy comparison expression, especially if I have to compare a lot of attributes.

So, how do you guys handle this?

As an alternative, I am looking into the SLOWLY CHANGING DIMENSION TASK, which I also have some questions on, but I would like to first address the above. Thank you.

Slowly Changing Dimension.. Type 1.5

Aug 28, 2006



The warehouse I am writing packages for has sort of a "Type 1.5" design for most of its DIMs that I am trying to get to work with the slowly changing dimension object.

Basically it should behave like a type 1 with updates in place BUT send the old prior rows/values to an "archive" server to hold the historical data. Unlike a Type 2 this data will not be used for any processes - but it needs to be kept for historical reseach and auditing.

Any ideas to easily do with the SCD wizard? I thought using the wizard as a type 1 and then after the wizard is done attaching the "Historical Attribute Inserts Output" to the archive db/table would do the trick but that output from the SCD object never has data. I could manually do it with a lookup and so forth but I thought I'd check in here first to see if I am just overlooking something with the SCD object.

Converting A Data Type Double To A Type Float Using A Data Adapter &&amp; SSCE 3.5

Feb 13, 2008

Hi,

I can populate a dataTable with type double (C#) of say '1055.01' however when I save these to the CE3.5 database using a float(CE3.5) I lose the decimal portion. The 'offending' code is:


this.court0TableAdapter1.Update(this.mycourtsDataSet1.Court0);

this.mycourtsDataSet1.AcceptChanges();

this.court0TableAdapter1.Fill(this.mycourtsDataSet1.Court0);


This did not happen with VS2005/CE3.01.

I have tried changing all references to decimal (or money in CE3.5) without luck.

I'm beginning to think that string may be the way to go!!!!!!!

Can someone shed some light on my problem.

Thanks,

Later:

It's necessary to update the datatable adapter as the 3.01 and 3.5 CE are not compatible.

COnverting Numeric Data Type (Oracle) To Date Data Type Using SSIS

Mar 7, 2007

We have some columns in a table where the date is stored as 19980101 (YYYYMMDD). The data type for this column is NUMBER(8) in Oracle.

I need to copy rows from Oracle to SQL Server using SSIS. I used the Data Conversion transformation editor to change it to DT_DATE, but the rows are not being inserted to the destination.

On Error, If I fail the component, then the error is :

There was an error with input column "ORDER_DATE_CONV" (1191) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (29). The column status returned was: "Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type.".

ETL For Type 2 Slowly Changing Hierarchical Dimensions

May 2, 2008

Hi,

I would like to know if there is an easy way to load Hierarchical Dimensions with Type 2 using SSIS ( or in general).

Here is my example:

There is a Hierarchy Product Group <- Product Class <- Product. (In words, Product rolls up to Product Class and Product Class Rolls up to Product Group). Say Product Group is Type 1 and the other two are Type 2. Every night, I receive a feed for each of these tables only if the record is new or a change to an existing record.

Now, when a Product Class Record is changed to assign it to a different group then I receive the feed only for Product Class (but not for Product). To load this record, I expire the old record and create a new entry with a new Surrogate Key. Then how do I automatically cascade this change to Product and make a Type 2 change to use the new Surrogate Key from Product Class?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Srini

When Changing To Type Text From Nvarchar, The 255 Character Limit Is Maintained?

Jul 23, 2005

Hi - I am changing a field from type nvarchar to type text, given thatI need to store strings longer than 255 characters. To do this Ichange the data type in SQL Server, then I change the parameter code inthe calling procedure, as per below:cmd.Parameters.Append(cmd.CreateParameter("@title", adVarWChar,adParamInput, 255, title));becomes:cmd.Parameters.Append(cmd.CreateParameter("@title", adLongVarWChar,adParamInput, 1073741823, title));However, when I do this, for some reason, the field is still limited to255 characters - when I try to update the field with 256 characters,the error 'Application uses a value of the wrong type for the currentoperation.' occurs.Why is this? I've checked that the correct data is contained in theparameter. When I look at the data in the database, the column inquestion shows the content, whereas the next column, which has alwaysbeen of type text, shows '<LongText>' - does this mean anything? Do Ineed to do something special to convert the column from nvarchar totext?Many thanks,Iain

Integration Services :: Implementing SCD Type 2 Using Merge - Having Both Changing And Historic Attribute

Sep 15, 2015

I am trying to implement Slowly Changing dimension transformation using Merge.Meaning both changing and historic attribute is in place. It seems we can use Update only once in Merge, in our scenario we have to update...When the historic attribute also have changed (To update the row as expired, IsCurrent=0)Also When changing attribute is changed. (Historic attribute is same). This case also we need to use Update. I am using CDC to do this. Updated OUTPUT is moving to a temporary table and using Execute SQL task to get updated.

Convert Text Data Type To Smalldatetime Data Type

Oct 9, 2007

I have a field that is currently stored as the data type nvarchar(10), and all of the data in this field is in the format mm/dd/yyyy or NULL. I want to convert this field to the smalldatetime data type. Is this possible?
I've tried to use cast in the following way, (rsbirthday is the field name, panelists is the table), but to no avail.


SELECT rsbirthday CAST(rsbirthday AS smalldatetime)

FROM panelists


the error returned is "incorrect syntax near 'rsbirthday'.

I'm rather new to all things SQL, so I only have the vaguest idea of what I'm actually doing.

Thanks for the help!

Bulk Insert Task Failing On Data Type Conversion For A Destination Column Of Type Bit

Jul 6, 2006

I am trying to use the Bulk Insert Task to load from a csv file. My final column is a bit that is nullable. My file is an ID column that is int, a date column that is mm/dd/yyy, then 20 columns that are real, and a final column that is bit. I've tried various combinations of codepage and datafiletype on my task component. When I have RAW with Char, I get the error included below. If I change to RAW/Native or codepage 1252, I don't have an issue with the bit; however, errors start generating on the ID and date columns.

I have tried various data type settings on my flat file connection, too. I have tried DT_BOOL and the integer datatypes. Nothing seems to work.

I hope someone can help me work through this.

Thanks in advance,

Restore Data But Maintain Replication Settings?

Jun 17, 2008

We are setting up the clients' database with transactional replication that allows the subscriber to send updates by pull subscriptions.

The plan is to create a second database so the users can keep working on the original database while we get the replication set up and working. Once we feel confident that the replication is working on the second database, the plan was to backup the old one, then detach it, and then restore the new database with the latest data from the old one. My question is whether this would preserve all the replication configurations that we set up? Since the replication adds a column to each table what would happen to that column? Or what is an alternative, which would allow us to set up the replication without disturbing the user's work, and then implement the replication with the latest data?

I am also wondering how to set the synchronization to happen once daily? I do not see where I can set that. I only see options for continuous vs on demand. Does on demand mean I can somehow schedule with an external program to run once a day?

Thanks for your patience, and I hope my questions make sense.

The Conversion Of Char Data Type To Smalldatetime Data Type Resulted In An Out-of-range Smalldatetime Value

Mar 30, 2007

I am using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Express 2005. The database was converted from MS Access 2003 to SQL Express by using the upsize wizard.



I would like to store the current date & time in a column in a table. This column is a smalldatetime column called 'lastlogin'.

The code I'm using is:



Dim sqlcommand As New SqlCommand _

("UPDATE tableXYZ SET Loggedin = 'True', LastLogin = GetDate() WHERE employeeID = '" & intEmployeeID.ToString & "'", conn)



Try

conn.Open()

sqlcommand.ExecuteNonQuery()

conn.Close()

Catch ex As Exception

MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)

End Try



This code works fine on my local machine and local SQL server. However at the client side this code results in the error as mentioned in the subject of this thread. I first used 'datetime.now' instead of 'getdate()', but that caused the same error. Then I changed the code to 'getdate()', but the error still remains.



The server at the client is running Windows Server 2000 UK . My local machiine is running WIndows XP Dutch.

Maybe the conversion from Dutch to UK has something to do with it. But this should be solved by using the 'Getdate()' function..... ?
