Hey folks, the question is fairly simple, unfortunately the answer has proven rather elusive.
Is it possible to declare a variable which would then be used to identify either a column or table in an SQL statement?
Here's a basic idea of what I'd like to do:
DECLARE @myVar AS NVARCHAR(50)
SELECT * FROM @myVar
or
DECLARE @myVar AS NVARCHAR(50)
SELECT @myVar FROM MyTable
I'm probably looking for some sort of built in function that will accept an argument here... like COLUMN(@myVar) or something of the like. I just don't know where to look...
Hi, I have a webform with a drop-down listbox, binded to a table and a GridView, binded to another table. My goal is when I select a value (country in my case) in the drop-down listbox to change what is shown in the GridView, based on the ID that I get from the drop-down listbox. Here is the code (the important parts...): Select a Country : <asp:DropDownList ID="CountriesDropDownList" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" DataTextField="Name" DataValueField="CountryID" Width="220px" AutoPostBack="True"> </asp:DropDownList> <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:MyConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT [CountryID], [Name] FROM [DS_Country]"> </asp:SqlDataSource> <asp:GridView ID="ProvincesGridView" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="ProvinceID,CountryID,Name,ShortName,Description" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" BackColor="White" BorderColor="#E7E7FF" BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="1px" CellPadding="3" HorizontalAlign="Left" > <Columns> .............................. </Columns> </asp:GridView> <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:DineSelectConnectionString %>" DeleteCommand="DELETE FROM DS_Province WHERE ProvinceID=@ProvinceID" SelectCommand="SELECT ProvinceID,CountryID,Name,ShortName,Description FROM DS_Province WHERE CountryID=@ddlCountryID" UpdateCommand="UPDATE DS_Province SET CountryID=@CountryID,Name=@Name,ShortName=@ShortName,Description=@Description WHERE ProvinceID=@ddlCountryID" InsertCommand="INSERT INTO DS_Province (CountryID,Name,ShortName,Description) VALUES (@CountryID,@Name,@ShortName,@Description)"> <SelectParameters> <asp:ControlParameter Name="ddlCountryID" ControlID="CountriesDropDownList" PropertyName="DataValueField" /> </SelectParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource>
When I run it I get this error "Syntax error converting the nvarchar value 'CountryID' to a column of data type int.". If I specify the Type="Int" in <asp:ControlParameter>..</> I get "Input string was not in a correct format. " This is supposed to be easy, but I can't make it work ! Any suggestions will be more than welcome. Thanks.
Hi, all I'm getting this error at runtime when my page tries to populate a datagrid. Here's the relevant code. First, the user selects his choice from a dropdownlist, populated with a sqldatasource control on the aspx side:<asp:SqlDataSource ID="sqlDataSourceCompany" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT [PayrollCompanyID], [DisplayName] FROM [rsrc_PayrollCompany] ORDER BY [DisplayName]"> </asp:SqlDataSource> And the dropdown list's code:<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlPayrollCompany" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" DataSourceID="sqlDataSourcePayrollCompany" DataTextField="DisplayName" DataValueField="PayrollCompanyID"> </asp:DropDownList> Then, I use the selectedindexchanged event to bind the data to the datagrid. Here's that code: 1 Sub BindData() 2 3 Dim ds As New DataSet 4 Dim sda As SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter 5 Dim strSQL As String 6 Dim strCon As String 7 8 strSQL = "SELECT [SocialSecurityNumber], [Prefix], [FirstName], [LastName], [HireDate], [PayrollCostPercent], " & _ 9 "[Phone], [BadgeNumber], [IsSupervisor], [SupervisorID], [IsUser], [IsScout] FROM [rsrc_Personnel] " & _ 10 "WHERE ([PayrollCompanyID] = @PayrollCompanyID)" 11 12 strCon = "Data Source=DATASOURCE;Initial Catalog=DATABASE;User ID=USERID;Password=PASSWORD" 13 14 sda = New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(strSQL, strCon) 15 16 sda.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlClient.SqlParameter("@PayrollCompanyID", Me.ddlPayrollCompany.SelectedItem.ToString())) 17 18 sda.Fill(ds, "rsrc_Personnel") 19 20 dgPersonnel.DataSource = ds.Tables("rsrc_Personnel") 21 dgPersonnel.DataBind() 22 23 End Sub 24
I'm assuming my problem lies in line 16 of the above code. I've tried SelectedItemIndex, SelectedItemValue too and get errors for those, as well. What am I missing? Thanks for anyone's help! Cappela07
I am using Derived Column Transformation Editor. I have 3 string values which I would like to combine them into one string and have a newline character inbetween the 3 strings. I cannot see a Char() function similar to TSQL to use for this purpose. I thought about creating a Variable but even to that I don't know how I can assign a newline character.
I have the misfortune of converting a DTS package to SSIS that loads a flat file that has a text fields that can contain embedded text delimiters ("), column delimiters (,) and even new lines (CR+LF i.e.,hex 0D 0A) in it. A sample line from the file is posted here, remember this is just one line though it shows as three lines, since the third field has embedded new line in it:
4,"Sam","EVP; MARKETING PRODUCT MANAGER ""Level I"", Internet Sales / HELP 8005551212",100
If you open in excel it handles it perfectly showing four fields, as below, and this is what I want ( I cannot get it aligned right in the posting, just save the above line in *.csv and open to see what it should be):
4 Sam "EVP; MARKETING PRODUCT MANAGER ""Level I"", 100 Internet Sales / HELP 8005551212"
Now, SSIS errors on the embedded text delimiters and breaks into two or three lines based on which option I chose. I have tried few options based on postings in the forum: a). Using undouble and undoubleout: Does not work when there are embedded column delimiters (,) in the text field b). Modified undouble script posted by lvovg at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1718225&SiteID=1. Handles the embedded column delimiters (,) perfectly, but the embedded new lines (CR+LF i.e.,hex 0D 0A) are breaking it. Since, I am using the ragged right format to read from the file then use transform script on the line by lvovg, the line is already broken by the ragged right format at the embedded new lines, hence does not work.
Right now I am stuck. Can someone please help (anyone from MS) ? I am already baffled at the amount of coding required to convert a very basic ( and working ) flat file load DTS package to SSIS. I am willing to persist bit longer to convert this to SSIS, before I give up and stick with DTS and wait for a fix / workaround.
Hi everybody,I'm using SQL Server Management Studio Express.I'm trying to create a field which contains a text entered by the user.

nvarchar(max) I have a nvarchar(MAX) “Description” field in my SQL Server 2005 database. Somewhere I think I read that nvarchar(MAX) is the size of 4000.

I tried nvarchar(MAX) and nvarchar but both versions only input one character into my database table. Please help a newbie out, cheers!

I uploading an image from a web page into Sql Server 2000 database. I call a stored procedure with the parameter @Flag of type Image. When I tried to pass a null value to this parameter I got the error:"Operand type clash: nvarchar is incompatible with image".I was adding the parameter like this:sqlCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Flag", DBNull.Value);After trying few different things I found a workaround using the following:sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@Flag", SqlDbType.Image);sqlCmd.Parameters["@Flag"].Value = DBNull.Value;Possibly a bug in the SqlCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue method ?

Hi I have an insert stored procedure with a parameter @eventDate date type date time. I have written a web form that takes the textbox.text value and assigns to the @eventDate parameter using a querystring. Howevr when I run the application I get a SQL Exception error converting data type nvarchar to datetime. I have tried dssqlInsertEvent.InsertParameters.add("EventDate", convert.todatetime(txtEventDate.text)); wbut received another error. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I am using MS SQL Server 2008R2 along with VB 2010.The first question is: why is it even trying to convert anything to numeric? I have NO numeric data types. And I don't have any nvarchar data types either. I'm very confused.Doesn't nchar include any and all characters, in any combination? Should I change everything to text data type? Maybe something else? Some values are going to be blank. The Lab/Source Lots have numbers, letters and dashes.
This is a common error for SQL Server, but I got it in a uncommon way.I have a table called - tblIDNumber where there are two columns - IDN_Number [NVarchar(200)] and Temp [BigInt]
If I run, SELECT * FROM dbo.tblIDNumber WHERE IDN_IDNumberTypeStaticValue = 33 AND IDN_Removed = 0 AND CAST(IDN_Number AS BIGINT) = 1
SQL Server give me the error: Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 1 Error converting data type nvarchar to bigint.
I first thought IDN_Number in type 33 has characters, but it doesn't, becasue the below query works!!!
UPDATE dbo.tblIDNumber SET Temp = CAST(IDN_Number AS BIGINT) WHERE IDN_IDNumberTypeStaticValue = 33 AND IDN_Removed = 0
To workaround, I ran the query,
UPDATE dbo.tblIDNumber SET IDN_Number = '123' WHERE IDN_IDNumberTypeStaticValue = 33 AND IDN_Removed = 0
and then I ran the first query, and SQL Server does NOT give me the same error - Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 1 Error converting data type nvarchar to bigint.
Second query approved there is nothing wrong from converting the value in IDN_Number to a BigInt, but the third query gave the hint that data might be the cause?????
finally, I found the root cause to be an index that the first query uses :
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_tblIDNumber_Covering] ON [dbo].[tblIDNumber] ( [IDN_Removed] ASC, [IDNumberCode] ASC ) INCLUDE ( [IDN_Number], [IDN_Reference]) WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, DROP_EXISTING = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 85) ON [PRIMARY] GO
If I remove the index, the first query works without the error.
I'm pretty desperat after trying solving the above problem in several days. I hope somone here can help me :-)
I have this stored procedure. When I try to Execute the storedprocedure where I have a date as parameter I get the above error.
I checked (many times), that the input parameter is a datetime format (30-05-2008) and also I checked the tabel and it is datetime format. I checked the table to see if it was english datetime format - but all the datetimes that are listet are listed in danish datetime format DD-MM-YYYY.
In the stored procedure I try this:
fProjectSkuTimeStamp >= @ReducedTime
I can't figure out where it gets that nvarchar from?
how to solve this problem .... I want to select te sum of nvarchar column and this error always happen
what is the solution this is my query
"SELECT Datein AS Date,SUM(Durm) AS DurationMin, COUNT (*) AS 'Number of Hits' FROM Rayyan_Log WHERE (DNIS = '"+DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text +"') AND (Datein between '"+TextBox2.Text+"' and '"+TextBox3.Text+"') GROUP BY Datein ORDER BY Datein"
I am using Sql server 2005, Asp.net 2.0. In my application i have to store a mobile number in database, and in table it is declared as nvarchar(50) (datatype). In stored procedure as it is nvarchar(50). In my code , stored procedure is called in a function. In that while executing project error is coming as (cmd.ExecuteNonQuery) Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value xxxxxxxxx to data type int. Kindly give your suggestions to solve this problem.
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
In the following code I want to compare 2 values: AccessVal and SQLVal. The values are stored as nvarchars, so I'm isolating the numeric values in a subquery. Notice I'm only selecting 1 row. The commented line, where I compare the values, is throwing the error.
SELECT QA_AutoID, AccessVal, SQLVal ,ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, AccessVal,1)),0) as AccessFloat ,ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, SQLVal,1)),0) as SQLFloat FROM QA WHERE QA_AutoID in ( SELECT TOP 1 QA_AutoID FROM QA WHERE ISNUMERIC(SQLVal) = 1 AND ISNUMERIC(AccessVal) = 1 ) --AND ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, AccessVal,1)),0) <> ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, SQLVal,1)),0) ORDER BY ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, AccessVal,1)),0) DESC ,ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, SQLVal,1)),0) DESC
Here is the output with the comparison commented out...
Here's what I get with the comparison line activated:
I've tried converting to numeric, int and bigint instead of float. I've tried CAST instead of CONVERT. Nothing works.
I have a stored procedure that contains a paramteter of type nvarchar(max). What is the syntax to pass this parameter to the sp from a VB.Net application. Specifically, I need to know what to put in the 3rd parameter below:
I can't seem to fix the following error in my stored procedure.
Error Message: Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '1007-001' to data type int.
The line of code in my stored procedure that seems to be the problem is the following:
CASE WHEN [Order Details].[Job No] IS NULL THEN [Orders].[Order No] ELSE [Order Details].[Job No] END
Order No has a data type of INT and Job No has a data type NVARCHAR(8). In the above case statement i'm not trying to convert anything but just display a column depending on the out come of the case statement. If anyone knows how to get around this error you help would be very welcome.
