Import From INFORMIX (Cannot Get The Supported Data Types)
Mar 14, 2006
Hi!
I'm trying to import data from an Informix Database to my SQL Server 2005 database with the import/export wizard.
I have an ODBC-connection that works, Access fetches data with no errors. From the wizard I can only choose to use the IBM Informix OLE DB Provider as datasource. As fare as I know the OLE DB Provider is using settings from the ODBC-driver?
In SQL Server 2000 there is a posibillity to choose Other(ODBC provider) as datasource which works against this database. Any ideas how i can use an ODBC-datasource?
If I try to use the IBM Informix OLE DB Provider I get an error message after the first step of the wizard:
Cannot get the supported data types from the database connection "Provider=Ifxoledbc;Password=;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=uid;Data Source=db@server".
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
IErrorInfo.GetDescription failed with E_NOINTERFACE(0x80004002).
IErrorInfo.GetDescription failed with E_NOINTERFACE(0x80004002). (System.Data)
------------------------------
Anyone have any experience with this problem? I can't find any information that will solve this, but I have seen several questions about this.
I would be very grateful for some help!
Best Regards

Hi,
I´m exporting an ms-excel file, then I use a lookup transformation to get a field from a SQL Server 2005 table. The Lookup transformation editor, after selecting the table, shows a warning that says:
at least one mapping between a column from available input columns ans a column from available lookup columns must be defined on the columns page.
So I try to make a relationship in the Lookup transformation editor's column tab where I find the Available input columns and the available lookup columns but I get the following error:
The following columns cannot be mapped:
[Department, DEP_CLEGALCODE]
One or more columns do not have supported data types, or their data types do not match.
The field in SLQ Server is varchar(10) and the input field is a derived column transformation; I have tried different Data Types but I always have the same error.
The DataFlow is: ExcelSource --> Derived Column --> Lookup --> Flat file destination
thanks.

As part of an ETL conversion I have dataflow task created that copies data from one table to another, we use it as a way to rename fields and change data types. What is strange is that the OLE DB SQL destination has not issue if I copy data from an int to smallint and in another case from an int to a numeric field and it runs fine. So I decided to test using a SQL Server Destination as I heard it may be faste that using OLE Db.
No I am getting the following error
Error: 0xC02020F5 at Insert into TRANSACTION, SQL Server Destination [32]: The column "ID" can't be inserted because the conversion between types DT_I4 and DT_NUMERIC is not supported.
Error: 0xC02020F5 at Insert into TRANSACTION, SQL Server Destination [32]: The column "ID1" can't be inserted because the conversion between types DT_I4 and DT_I2 is not supported.
I do understand the error but not why it runs fine using the OLE DB but when running it through SQL Server Destination I get this error.

I'm not a DBA but I'm doing what is turning into way too much work... Yes I understand you want to do memory intensive data conversions and SQL server is not tolerant, etc....
But, I have to get my data from a flat source into a table in SQL server. I know DT_I1 is a 1 byte signed integer, I see System.Byte, but surprise, NONE of the TYPES in defining my table in SQL Server Management Studio correspond to any type that it accepts.
What am I doing wrong?
I have a table in SQL Server. I know DT_I8 is Bigint, I know DT_I4 is Int. Bigint and Int, for example, are two types I have access to when I'm building my table. But what on EARTH is DT_I1? It is NOT a TYPE that I can dropdown and choose.
My SSIS package has a Flat File Source that points to my comma delimeted file on my PC, it has a Data Conversion element that seems to do nothing..., and of course a SQL Server Destination which is my table.
I would rather just have the SSIS package create the right table on the fly.
DTS was much easier, I know, not as efficient for 1,000,000 rows, but guess what, there are still small to medium size businesses that don't need that efficiency to get in 1MM rows +, we just need to get our jobs done.
Help...
P.S. I'm creating the SSIS in MS Visual Studio Professional.

I created a simple ragged file with 3 lines:
1
2
3
and coupled it to a Flat File Source. The Flat File Source suggested that the type was DT-I1.
Next I created a €œSQL Server Destination task and connected the output of the Flat File to the Sql Destination. In the Destination editor I created a table, whose one column was declared to be a sql smallint.
Here€™s the problem: the Sql Server Destination now displays a red circle with a white €œx€?. The tooltip says that: €œThe column €œColumn 0€? can€™t be inserted because the conversion between types DT_I1 and DT_I2 is not supported€?
Can anyone explain why the conversion is not supported?
TIA,
Barkingdog
P.S. It's not kidding! When I changed the Flat File Source type to DT-I2 everything worked fine.

Hi,
I have a flat file that contains 2 types of records - Dev and production. The Dev will be noted with an D and the Production with a P. These records are different - The dev records are in a different order and contain different info then the Production. I need to use SSIS to import the data into 2 different SQL Tables. How to do this?
Can any one help me

Our entire sales database sits on an Informix server and users run their reports directly to this server.
Because of the volume of data - upwards of 7 million rows in some tables we are finding performance is becoming an issue. We realise that Informix is not the best for running queries and so are looking to replicate to a SQL server and use that as a reporting server.
My chosen method is DTS using ODBC which works fine. However due to the sheer volume of data to be downloaded each night (over a 512K wan link) we only want to download changed data.
Is there any way we can get SQL2000 to download only change data - i.e a differential download or something? We don't have a unique field in the table (for whatever reason) such as sales date or transaction ID (shops might upload old / back-dated transactions for example due to a systems failure).
If I do have to download all the data every night is my method the most efficient or is there some other approach I could use?
Ultimatly the aim here is to relieve the Informix server of the reporting overhead so any alternative ideas are welcome!
Many thanks

I have Informix 9.4TC6 and SQL Server 2005.DB_LOCALE in Informix DB is en_US.utf8 (en_US.57372).First, I created DSN to Informix. Then tried to get data with WinSqltool and it works fine.But when I created linked server in SQL Server 2005 I have problemswith languages other than English.I get a string like:è 'å· åŒ-å|å·¥æ¥æ ªå1/4 ä1/4šç¤3/4It seems to me that SQL Server splits 2-byte characters in 2 1-bytecharacters.If in options of linked server we set Collation Name to exactlanguagewe want --then string data will be correct (of course only oflanguage that we choose).Do you have any suggestions?????????P.S. I don't want to use SSIS (DTS) for extraction from Informix DB

The error in the subject line "The property 'Use Encryption for Data' is not supported" is encountered when running a DTS package via a job step in SQL Server 7.0. The problem is not encountered when executing the DTS package interactively via Enterprise Manager from my PC. When I view the Advanced Properties of the OLE DB driver from Enterprise Manager on my PC, I notice a Use Encryption for Data Property. When I view the Advanced Properties of the OLE DB driver from Enterprise Manager on the Server, the Use Encryption for Data Property does not appear. Service Pack 3 for SQL 7.0 is installed on both my PC and on the SQL Server. I suspect this Property difference for OLE DB could be related to the fact that I installed Enterprise Manager for SQL 2000 on my PC at one time and then uninstalled. Any ideas how to correct this situation?

Access Connection
create a new Connection Manager by right-clicking in the Connection Managers section of the design area of the screen. Select New OLE DB Connection to bring up the Configure OLE DB Connection Manager dialog box. Click New to open the Connection Manager. In the Provider drop-down list, choose the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider and click OK.
Browse to the Access database file and connection set up---all good!!!
Dataflow task
Add an OLE DB Source component
Double-click the icon to open the OLE DB Source Editor. Set the OLE DB Connection Manager property to the Connection Manager that I created . Select Table from the Data Access Mode drop-down list.
I cannot see the tables set up as set up as pass-through table types to a Oracle 9i db
Any ideas please help
thanks in advance

I created an Integration Services Package that runs fine from my local computer using BIDS. However when I imported into our SQL Server and try to run it from there I get the following error:
DTS_E_PRODUCTLEVELTOLOW. The product level is insufficient for component "Data Conversion"
We are running SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition 64-bit.
We have integration services installed on the server. Is data conversion something that is not supported on Standard Edition?
Also have a similar message for "Send Mail Task."
Is there anywhere that outlines what features are supported on each version?

I am trying to find a reference for a client that lists the fields available to be substituted into a data driven subscription from the query, along with the expected data types.  For example, the field on whether or not to include a link to the report seems to be expecting a bit data type.I have searched and can't seem to find anything.  I guess I could walk through the interface and try different data types, but if  a list exists, that would be better.Â

I Have a table with #Sample like below
=================================
#Sample
id int,
SSN varchar(20),
State varchar(2)
Â
Sample Data:
ID SSN STATE
1 999-000-000 AB
2 979-000-000Â BC
3 995-000-000Â CD
=================================
We used filter logic based on the SSN & State.
We are passing these values through variables like
Declare @State varchar(2)
Declare @SSN varchar(20)
While run time these values are lets suppose @SSN = '999-000-000' & @State='ABC'
Now the Result is displayed with the state data Like 'AB' only.
Output: 1 999-000-000 AB
instead it should give system generated error.
Here I have 2 Questions:
1. Why it is taking 1st 2 Charecters?
2. Why it does not have any system generated for length?
I can do validation with Length function for these 2 variables however if have 100 variables then it should not feasible case. So, what is the reason behind?Â

I have a DTS that pulls data in from a table in MysQL and inserts it into a tablle in SQL Server. it's failing when I run the step with the "requestd conversion is not supported" error, but when testing each single column copy in the Data Transformation step, it passes.
I just want an exact copy of the data.

I'm in the process of converting a rather huge VSAM database into a set of SQL tables.
I am using the same data names from the mainframe (like XDB-NAME to RDB-NAME).
I load the files using Import Export Data and it makes the tables with such column names as col001, col002, col003, etc... and always sets the data types to varchr(255).
And I have to cut and paste the data names from the manframe side to the server side (and the data types to.)
So, is there an easier way to do this? Or am I doomed to cut-n-paste my days away...
Thanks for any help.

SQL Server 2000, ASP.Net 1.1
I've been writing this stuff for a while, and can't seem to come to the
conclusion of how I should be retrieving data and assigning this data
to variables.
Since i'm using SQL Server, I'm convinced that I should be using the
datareaders GetSqlDouble (or whatever) function, but this would mean i
need my local variables to be one of the SQL types. The problem
with that is, that there will have to be lots of conversions done by me
to be able to use a SQL type in my application.
For instance, I have a class where i'm retrieving dates. In order
to retrieve them correctly (Null values included), I need to retrieve
them with GetSqlDateTime(), then when it comes time to display the date
in a table, i must first check for nulls, then convert to a
string. This seems to be very cumbersome. Would I be better
off just using GetDateTime(), and the .ToString method, and ignoring
Sql Types all together?
so, basically, how are you guys using your sql server data? with
the supplied sql types, and doing all of the post-processing work
manually? I feel like i'm having trouble conveying my
issue...hopefully someone knows what i mean....i'd just like some
direction to save trouble in the long run, since i feel like there's
got to be a better way...
Confused!
Thanks,
JJ

Is it possible to easily copy data from one table to another if the data types don't match. I know you can do a INSERT INTO table1(col1,col2) SELECT (col2,col7) FROM table2 if the data types match but is there a way to do this if they don't. I'm not trying to copy date times into bit fields or anything. I just have an old table that I built when I really didn't know what I was doing now I at leastthink I have a better understanding of what data types to use, so I was wanting to move the data in the orignal table to my new one. Most of the fields in the olddatabase are text datatypes and the new database is nvarchar(50) data types. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hello:
I am not sure how to implement the following, but I believe it entails using DTS, and hopefully it is fine that I post it here b/c ultimately I will need this backend data for my frontend .aspx pages:
On a weekly basis, I need to IMPORT some data located on a remote Oracle DB into SQL Server 2k. Since there is so much data to transfer, I would only like to transfer the data that is new to the table since the last IMPORT, i.e. a week ago and leave behin the OLD data.
Is DTS the correct way to go or do I have more control via DTS with STORED PROCEDURES? Does anyone have any good references for me?
On a similar note, once this Oracle data is IMPORTED into a certain table, I would like to EXPORT some of these NEWLY acquired rows matching certain criteria into another table for auditing purposes. For this scenario, should I implement a TRIGGER UPDATE event here on the first table?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Hello,
I have a really dumb question regarding SQL data types. I have a couple columns in a table that are specified as MONEY. These columns are being read from my web app and displayed on the website for reference when filling in other information.
My problem is that when it is displayed on the website it give four decimal places instead of two. For example I want it to report $33,000.29 but what is actually displayed is $33,000.2965.
How can I set up either SQL or my web app so that it only displays the two decimal places? I've looked into changing the datatype already but SMALLMONEY and MONEY have the same type of decimal values.
Thanks!
