I Really Need A Debate! Type - Attributes Vs Super Type - Sub Types
Apr 22, 2004
I 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:
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?
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?
Hello,I am working on a .NET project and I would like to save some LOCALIZED content in an SQL 2005 database.This content might be a string, a number or even a class with its properties values defined so I can retrieve it later.I will not need search or any complex operation just the following:1. Add content to the database2. Remove content from the database by contentId3. Get content from the database by contentIdAnyway, is this possible?What SQL 2005 datatype should I use to accomplish this?Thanks,Miguel
In my applications, I often encounter situations where the domain of a type is some set (e.g. Student, Staff etc. for Membership type etc.). A common solution is to assign integral values to each possible value of the set & convert them to corresponding strings programatically when fetching data, or use a Foreign Key into a relation defining each of the unique value.
MySql has a Set Data type. So, this time around, I decided to do the same with Sql Server, and resorted to CLR to create a custom data type, whose domain could only be a collection of predefined strings or other data types.
But, just before deploying the assembly, the performance bug struck me. So, assuming a simple custom data type, like:
Code Snippet
<Serializable()> _ <Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlUserDefinedType(Format.Native)> _ Public Structure MemberType Implements INullable
Private Const Student As String = "Student" Private Const Staff As String = "Staff"
Private memType As Int16 Private m_Null As Boolean
Public Overrides Function ToString() As String If (Me.m_Null) Then Throw New SqlTypes.SqlNullValueException("Null Reference Exception") End If
Select Case memType Case 1 Return Student Case 2 Return Staff Case Else Throw New Exception("Invalid State for MemberType") End Select End Function
Public ReadOnly Property IsNull() As Boolean Implements INullable.IsNull Get ' Put your code here Return (Me.m_Null) End Get End Property
Public Shared ReadOnly Property Null() As MemberType Get Dim h As MemberType = New MemberType h.m_Null = True Return h End Get End Property
Public Shared Function Parse(ByVal s As SqlString) As MemberType If s.IsNull Then Return Null
ElseIf (StrComp(s.ToString(), Student, CompareMethod.Text) = 0) _ OrElse StrComp(s.ToString(), "1") = 0 Then Dim u As New MemberType u.memType = 1 u.m_Null = False
Return (u)
ElseIf (StrComp(s.ToString(), Staff, CompareMethod.Text) = 0) _ OrElse StrComp(s.ToString(), "2") = 0 Then Dim u As New MemberType u.memType = 2 u.m_Null = False
Return (u)
Else Throw New SqlTypes.SqlTypeException("Invalid Value for MemberType") End If End Function End Structure Would it be a performance issue, if I use such Data types, whose data is fetched or updated frequently???

Happy 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?
I 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 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.
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,

Hi all, I am developing ASP.NET 1.1 application using VB.NET & SQL Server, on my machine I am using SQL Server 2000, and everything is working just fine. The problem appears when I uploaded the site to the Host, they are using SQL Server 2005, is there any reason for this, I am using casting in the code, and I am sure there is something wrong with the hosting settings. Any suggestions. Best Regards Wafi Mohtaseb
Hello Friends How are you?? Friends i am getting problem in SQL Server 2005. I am deployng web application on production server as well as Databse also. In production server i inserted new field in all tables which is rowguid and its type is uniqueidentifier. The default binding for this field is newsequentialid(). In some pages it works ok but in some places it generates error like 'Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'String' is not valid'. Can anybody help me to solve this problem. Its urgent so plz reply me as soon as possible. I'll be very thankfull to you. Thanks in Advance. Regards,
I'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:

Can anyone tell me why the SELECT ... FOR XML PATH... seems only to work with ADO.NET connections?

I'm having a problem with the XML Source data flow component not transferring the length attributes from an XML Schema to the column attributes of the output table.
An example schema that I have is:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><data xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'><xsd:schema> <xsd:simpleType name='NameType'> <xsd:restriction base='xsd:string'> <xsd:minLength value='0'/> <xsd:maxLength value='50'/> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> <xsd:element name='Name' type='NameType' nillable='true'/> <xsd:simpleType name='FamilyType'> <xsd:restriction base='xsd:string'> <xsd:minLength value='0'/> <xsd:maxLength value='50'/> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> <xsd:element name='Family' type='FamilyType' nillable='true'/> <xsd:element name='row'> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element ref='Name'/> <xsd:element ref='Family'/> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element> <xsd:element name='data'> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element ref='row' maxOccurs='unbounded'/> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element></xsd:schema> <!-- data follows --> <row><Name>Fred</Name><Family>Jones</Family></row></data> When I reference file in the XML Source data control, it correctly infers that there are two columns, but the length of the strings in the columns are set as 255.
This behaviour appears to be at odds with the SSIS documentation (SQL Server Integration Services/Integration Services Object and Concepts/Data Flow Elements/Integration Services Sources/XML Source), which states (highlighting mine):
When the data is extracted from the XML data file, it is converted to an Integration Services data type. The XSD or inline schema may specify the data type for elements, but if it does not, the XML Source Editor dialog box assigns the Unicode string data type (DT_WSTR) to the column in the output that contains the element, and sets the column length to 255 characters. If the schema specifies the maximum length of an element, the length of output column is set to this value. If the maximum length is greater than the length supported by the Integration Services data type to which the element is converted, then the data is truncated to the maximum length of the data type. For example, if a string has a length of 5000, it is truncated to 4000 characters because the maximum length of the DT_WSTR data type is 4000 characters; likewise, byte data is truncated to 8000 characters, the maximum length of the DT_BYTES data type. If the schema specifies no maximum length, the default length of columns with either data type is set to 255. Data truncation in the XML source is handled the same way as truncation in other data flow components. For more information, see Handling Errors in Data.
Has anyone had any luck in getting string lengths automatically extracted from an XML document? If so, where I am going wrong?

I 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
Hi 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.
I'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? Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.Parameter'. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

I have an application which runs successfully on a couple of my customer's machines but fails on a third. It seems to fail when opening the database:
Unable to cast COM object of type 'ADODB.CommandClass' to interface type 'ADODB._Command'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{B08400BD-F9D1-4D02-B856-71D5DBA123E9}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)). Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=false; Initial Catalog=lensdb;Data Source = SQL
Before I got this error I was getting another problem (sorry didn't make a copy of that error's text) that made me think that adodb.dll simply wasn't loaded/registered. I got rid of that error by copying my adodb.dll onto the third machine and running gacutil /i. There is now an entry in winntassemblies for adodb.
Just in case you think it could be an obvious registry problem: when I started getting the current error I thought that maybe the registry needed updating and I merged the following lines into onto the target machine (from my dev machine):
Hi, I have developed a custom server control for .NET Framework 2.0. The server control has a property named BinaryData of type byte[]. I marked this property to be data bindable. Now, I have varbinary(Max) type of field in my SQL Database and I have used SQLDataSource and bound this varbinary(Max) field with the property BinaryData (byte[]) of my control. It is working fine as long as the data value is not NULL. Now, In my control, I have handled the NULL value so that no Exception is thrown. Still, when I bind this property using the SQLDataSource, I get Error "Unable to cast object of type 'System.DBNull' to type 'System.Byte[]'." I am not sure if I can do anything to stop this erro within my control. If it is not possible from the control, then what is the workaround that I can do in my ASPX page in order to stop this error ? Thanks a lot in advance.
Hi, I got this field (dateSubmitted) having a data type of DateTime but I receive this error "Unable to cast object of type 'System.DateTime' to type 'System.String'." All value for dateSubmitted field are 12/27/2007 12:00:00 AM. cheers,imperialx
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:
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.".
