Named Constraint Is Not Supported For This Type Of Constraint (not Null)
May 13, 2008Hi, all.
I am trying to create table with following SQL script:
Code Snippet
create table Projects(
ID smallint identity (0, 1) constraint PK_Projects primary key,
Name nvarchar (255) constraint NN_Prj_Name not null,
Creator nvarchar (255),
CreateDate datetime
);
When I execute this script I get following error message:
Error source: SQL Server Compact ADO.NET Data Provider
Error message: Named Constraint is not supported for this type of constraint. [ Constraint Name = NN_Prj_Name ]
I looked in the SQL Server Books Online and saw following:
CREATE TABLE (SQL Server Compact)
...
< column_constraint > ::= [ CONSTRAINT constraint_name ] { [ NULL | NOT NULL ] | [ PRIMARY KEY | UNIQUE ] | REFERENCES ref_table [ ( ref_column ) ] [ ON DELETE { CASCADE | NO ACTION } ] [ ON UPDATE { CASCADE | NO ACTION } ]
As I understand according to documentation named constraints should be supported, however error message says opposite. I can rephrase SQL script by removing named constraint.
Code Snippet
create table Projects(
ID smallint identity (0, 1) constraint PK_Projects primary key,
Name nvarchar (255) not null,
Creator nvarchar (255),
CreateDate datetime
);
This script executes correctly, however I want named constraints and this does not satisfy me.
What Type Of Constraint To Prevent Duplicates
Jul 23, 2005I am trying to either write a trigger or a check constraint to preventduplicates in my table. There are two columns I need to look at for theduplicates and only one combo value for both columns is allowed in thetable. For e.g.Column Serial can have only one '123456' value with testresult value as'PASS'. This serial can be in the table many times with any other comboso for e.g.The table could contain 100 entries for serial column value '123456'with testresult value 'FAIL', 'PENDING' etc.** TESTED SCHEMA BELOW **-- create tableCREATE TABLE bstresult(ID int IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,serial char (10) NULL ,testresult char (10) NULL)-- Insert valid valuesinsert into bstresult values ('123456','PASS')insert into bstresult values ('123456','FAIL')insert into bstresult values ('123456','FAIL')insert into bstresult values ('123456','PENDING')-- insert invalid value this should failinsert into bstresult values ('123456','PASS')If I simply create a unique constraint on both columns it will notallow the FAIL combo or PENDING combo with the same serial which I needto allow.Appreciate your help.

Oct 5, 2005This may be an easy question but I've been reading for about a halfhour and experimenting without results.I simply want the results of my query to display a specific field thatis typed "money" using + and -The program that consumes the data expects + on positive numbers and -on negative. I was hoping to do it in the view instead of processingthe results with the VB application that interogates the DB.Thanks

Oct 30, 2015I am beginner in SQL Server and this is the first time I tried to use a column in my table with Timestamp data type.

Is it normal? and if yes, How I will be able to display the value of the timestamp.
View 4 Replies View RelatedRev Counter Type Graph / Display
Feb 21, 2008Good day,
I am wanting to create a rev counter type graph / display in SSRS 2000. Is this possible at all? I have seen there is a plug in from Dundas that will do it but it is very pricey and was hoping there was an inbuilt function to do it or a free add on from Microsoft.
Does anyone know if this is possible and if so how to do it?
Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

Reporting Services :: Query To Display In Format For Numeric Data Type
Jul 21, 2015I have to display the data in the below said formats..Current sample Data in the table and the data type is numeric(23,10)
50.00
0.50
0.00
0.00
To be displayed in the below format
1.25
0.75
0
0
1
I have to map this column in teh report and should dipslay like above.I think if 0.00 is available then it should display as 0..If 1.0 is available then it should display 1.Any value that has postive number after the decimal should display all the values  example : 2.25,3.75,5.06, So in general the solution to display values like 1.75,1,0 we should not dispaly 0 as 0.00 and 1 as 1.00 and 2 as 2.00 and so on...Any Solutions in terms of SQL query  or SSRS expression.
Unique Constraint Error When There Is No Constraint
May 13, 2008We are using SQL CE 3.5 on tablet PCs, that synchs with our host SQL 2005 Server using Microsoft Synchronization Services. On the tablets, when inserting a record, we get the following error:
A duplicate value cannot be inserted into a unique index. [ Table name = refRegTitle,Constraint name = PK_refRegTitle
But the only PK on this table is RegTitleID.
The table structure is:
[RegTitleID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[RegTitleNumber] [int] NOT NULL,
[RegTitleDescription] [varchar](200) NOT NULL,
[FacilityTypeID] [int] NOT NULL,
[Active] [bit] NOT NULL,
The problem occurs when a Title Number is inserted and a record with that number already exists. There is no unique constraint on Title Number.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Float Type Steals My Decimal Points And Money Type Kills My Query
Mar 28, 2008Happy Friday!
A while since I have posted a question, and this one is probably real easy.
I am trying to store numeric values from a php form in MSSQL 2000 database. However, the columns are set to float and if the value is 1.00, when entered into the table it is saved as 1
If I change the column type to money, the query fails, with an error message of conversion of datatype varchar to datatype money statement terminated.
anybody know what I need to do? do I need to do something in my query to specify that this is NOT varchar data?
How To Declare A Procedure Parameter Type To Match A Referenced Table Colum Type
Dec 14, 2007I like to define my procedure parameter type to match a referenced table colum type,
similar to PL/SQL "table.column%type" notation.
That way, when the table column is changes, I would not have to change my stored proc.
Any suggestion?

Implement Time Interval Type In Form Of User Defined Type
Dec 7, 2011Implement time interval type in the form of a user defined type in SS2k8r2? Specifically an interval type described in the book Temporal Data and the Relational Model by C. J. Date at all. As an example, an interval is below:
1/4/2006:1/10/2006
which would mean the time period from 1/4 to 1/10.
Bulk Insert Task Failing On Data Type Conversion For A Destination Column Of Type Bit
Jul 6, 2006I 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,

I Really Need A Debate! Type - Attributes Vs Super Type - Sub Types
Apr 22, 2004I have extensively revied both of the design methodologies and I cannot come up with a single clear reason to use one over the other!
Type - Attributes is where you have a table holding the type categories, type, a table holding the type attributes expected and then a table holding the type attribute value:
tbAutombbileCategories
CategoryID | Category
-------------------------------
1 | Car
2 | Truck
3 | Motorcycle
tbAutomobileAttributes
AttributeID | fkCategoryID | Attribute
-------------------------------------------
1 | 1 (car) | Doors
2 | 2 (truck) | Cab
3 | 2 (truck) | Capacity
tbAutomobile
VIN | Category | Make | Model
-------------------------------------
1 | 1 | Honda | Accord
2 | 2 | Ford | F150
tbAutomobileAttributeValues
fkVIN | fkAttributeID | Value
---------------------------------
1 | 1 | 2
2 | 1 | 0
2 | 2 | 1000
Now the above sure is flexible in the sence that a type of automobile can be added without affecting the database schema, but was if some attributes do not take a numeric value? How do you handle computations on attributes specific attributes? Why would I use this structure as opposed to the super type - sub type as shown below?
tbCategories
CategoryID | Category
--------------------------
1 | Cars
2 | Trucks
tbAutomobile (Super Type)
VIN | fkCategoryID | Make | Model
-------------------------------------
1 | 1 |Honda | Accord
tbCars
fkVIN | Doors |
-----------------
1 | 2
tbTrucks
fkVIN | Cab | Capacity
---------------------------
2 | 0 | 1000
Now, adding new sub types probably isn't very flexible but, now you can specify data types for each attribute instead of using sql_variant, which by the documentation cannot be used in aggregate functions and may render poor result when used with ADO.
Regardless of the method used, alot of back end coding is required for computations, what table to send the attributes, etc...
Can anyone please help me clarify. What method is best and why. So far I am leaning for option 2. More work but seems to be more flexible in the sence of customization of each datatype.
E.G., what if you wanted to specify attributes about the cap that can be supplied to trucks?
tbTrucks
fkVIN | Cab | Capacity | fkCapID
--------------------------------------
2 | Y | 1000 | 1
tbCaps
CapID | Vendor | Price | et....
Any thoughts at all? I thought this would have been a pretty damn hot topic!

Connection Type Limitations When Using XML Data Type In SQL Task
Jul 23, 2007I'm trying to use the SSIS Execute SQL Task to pull XML from a SQL 2005 database table. The SQL is of the following form:
SELECT
(
SELECT
MT.MessageId 'MessageId',
MT.MessageType 'MessageType',
FROM MessageTable MT
ORDER BY MT.messageid desc
FOR XML PATH('MessageStatus'), TYPE
)
FOR XML PATH('Report'), TYPE
For some reason I can only get this query to work if I use an ADO.NET connection type. If I try to use something like the OLEDB connection I get the following error:
<ROOT><?MSSQLError HResult="0x80004005" Source="Microsoft XML Extensions to SQL Server" Description="No description provided"?></ROOT>
Can anyone tell me why the SELECT ... FOR XML PATH... seems only to work with ADO.NET connections?
Thanks

Jul 28, 2006Hello --
I am having a UDT problem. When I run the Create Type command. I receive the "could not find type" error. I have seen other posts on here related to the default namespace in VB.NET. When I add the namespace I receive "Incorrect syntax near '.'." What is the format of the EXTERNAL NAME parameter. Thanks for any help. Code below...
Incorrect Syntax Error:
DROP ASSEMBLY CadSqlUdtsCREATE ASSEMBLY CadSqlUdtsAUTHORIZATION [dbo]FROM 'E:CAD.NETCADUDTsReleaseCadSqlUdts.dll'WITH PERMISSION_SET = SAFEGOCREATE TYPE dbo.ReportingAreaUDTEXTERNAL NAME CadSqlUdts.[CadSqlUdts.CadSqlUdts].ReportingAreaUDT;GO
Could Not Find Type Error:

What's up??

Unable To Cast COM Object Of Type 'System.__ComObject' To Class Type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConn
May 17, 2006Dear all,
I am stuck with a SSIS package and I can€™t work out. Let me know what steps are the correct in order to solve this.
At first I have just a Flat File Source and then Script Component, nothing else.

@PARAM1 : Unable To Cast Object Of Type 'System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlInt32 To Type System.IConvertable
Apr 23, 2007I get the following message in the vs2005 querybuilder when i do a preview:
***********************************
SQL Execution Error.
Executed SQL statement: SELECT Schoolindex, Variant, VVSchool, [index], indincl, VVRuimtes, School FROM School WHERE (Schoolindex = @PARAM1)
Error Source: SQL Server Compact Edition ADO.NET Data Provider
Error Message: @PARAM1 : Unable to cast object of type 'System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlInt32 to type System.IConvertable'.
****************************************
The same querypreview works fine without the parameter:
SELECT Schoolindex, Variant, VVSchool, [index], indincl, VVRuimtes, School FROM School WHERE (Schoolindex = 186)
Can anybody tell me why this is?
And tell me a way to get the tableadapter working?

Index Creation Causes Error The Conversion Of A Char Data Type To A Datetime Data Type Resulted...
Jul 23, 2005Hi all,I have a table called PTRANS with few columns (see create script below).I have created a view on top that this table VwTransaction (See below)I can now run this query without a problem:select * from dbo.VwTransactionwhereAssetNumber = '101001' andTransactionDate <= '7/1/2003'But when I create an index on the PTRANS table using the command below:CREATE INDEX IDX_PTRANS_CHL# ON PTRANS(CHL#)The same query that ran fine before, fails with the error:Server: Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted inan out-of-range datetime value.I can run the same query by commeting out the AssetNumber clause and itworks fine. I can also run the query commenting out the TransactionDatecolumn and it works fine. But when I have both the conditions in theWHERE clause, it gives me this error. Dropping the index solves theproblem.Can anyone tell me why an index would cause a query to fail?Thanks a lot in advance,AmirCREATE TABLE [PTRANS] ([CHL#] [varchar] (100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,[CHCENT] [numeric](2, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHYYMM] [numeric](4, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHDAY] [numeric](2, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHTC] [char] (2) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL) ON [PRIMARY]GOCREATE VIEW dbo.vwTransactionsASSELECT CONVERT(datetime, dbo.udf_AddDashes(REPLICATE('0', 2 -LEN(CHCENT)) + CONVERT(varchar, CHCENT) + REPLICATE('0', 4 -LEN(CHYYMM))+ CONVERT(varchar, CHYYMM) + REPLICATE('0', 2 -LEN(CHDAY)) + CONVERT(varchar, CHDAY)), 20) AS TransactionDate,CHL# AS AssetNumber,CHTC AS TransactionCodeFROM dbo.PTRANSWHERE (CHCENT <> 0) AND (CHTC <> 'RA')*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
View 1 Replies View RelatedConvert Ntext Type To XML Type
Dec 6, 2007I have a ntext column which stores rows of xml data. Ive decided that the best way to query the xml data is to Convert the ntext data into xml data type and use Sql Server 2005 builtin Xml Query tools to perform FLWOR expressions. The problem Im having is getting the ntext data Converted to xml.When I try to convert the ntext text, I of course get an error that local variables of ntext type are invalid.Any suggestions on a way I might accomplish this?Thanks, -lance
View 1 Replies View RelatedA Text-type Value To A Date-type Value
Apr 2, 2008Hi
Is it possibly in SqlDataSource's SelectCommad to convert a text-type value to a date-type value (11/1/2008 (text) -> 11/1/2008 (date) ) , so that order by can be used. Or is the other ways to use order by correctly with text-type (date)values
Thanks.
Unable To Cast Object Of Type 'System.String' To Type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.Parameter'.
Jun 19, 2008I'm getting this error on a vb.net page the needs to execute two separate stored procedures. The first one, is the main insert, and returns the identity value for the ClientID. The second stored procedure inserts data, but needs to insert the ClientID returned in the first stored procedure. What am I doing wrong with including the identity value "ClientID" in the second stored procedure?
