I am using OLE DB source to extract data from Oracle. I have query (sample) like below, but SSIS is converting ID as Unicode String [DT_WSTR]. Why is that? and how to avoid this?
SELECT
1 AS ID
FROM
ORACLE_TABLE
I am reading a data source where all data in a given column is held as a string containing a percent value with 2 decimal points:
03.52%
12.32%
92.10%
80.05%
27.92%
100.00%
[...]
etc...
I need to convert these into decimal values with up to four decimal points, like this:
0.352
0.1232
0.9210
0.8005
0.2792
1.0000
I am trying to use the derived column editor but since I am fairly new to this, I am getting my wires crossed. c
1. Remove the % sign from the string -- not sure if I should use TRIM, or REPLACE
2. Divide the value by 100 -- but don't I need to do some sort of type casting first?
3. Do a cast to convert whatever I got into the correct decimals -- perhaps this isn't required if I did step 2 as a typecast to decimals already?
I am trying to convert a string variable to integer in SSIS using the expression task.
@[User::Nummer] = (DT_I4) @[User::Name]
But I get an error that the conversion from (DT_WSTR) to (DT_I4) is not possible!!
I am getting below errors when I try to import data from csv format to a sqlserver table.The csv file has date column that has date with format: 7/10/2015 1:18:39 PM and the sql server is using datetime not null for that field in the table.

How to derived string to date-time (dd/mm/yyyy)
Input Date :
Start Date
15/06/2015
30/06/2015
NULL
2015/06/24
Some date are in format dd/mm/yyyy I want to keep them as it is , but I want to convert the NULL one and 2015/06/24 to 24/06/2015.
I have a column value as '201303' for the date. I need to get the output into two columns as 2013 and Mar. The date column is a integer one.
How can I convert this date column in a Data Convertion task.
I am trying to upload data from CSV to Sql table. I have a column as 'arrived_date' value '13:45' etc and while trying to load data i am getting error as "data conversion failed ,truncation may occur while loading data". In flat file connection this column datatype is string but in my table datatype is as time(). There is a error with conversion. I tried to change data type in advanced editor but no use. Using data conversion after flatfile makes my error disappear but it is giving error right at the file not even going through from file?

But whatever Data coming from CDC source data type Varchar value needs to Converting Non Unicode string to Unicode string SSIS. So used Data conversion transformation to achieved this. I need to achieve this without data conversion.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe are using lookup transformation in SSIS 2012. The lookup transformation queries a table with two date columns. When we hover the mouse over the two columns in the 'columns' tab of the lookup transformation editor, the two columns show as DT_WSTR instead of DT_DBDATE. This causes the SSIS package to fail due to data type mismatch.A similar abandoned thread is available at: URL....

Column Name : [Converted Date]

When I try and do month around the [Converted Date] I get the following error message
“Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 2

View 14 Replies View RelatedI am very new to SSIS though I have written hundreds of SQL 2000 dts' with all kinds of active scripts doing all kinds of things. I am now trying to convert them to SSIS and since scripts don't come through the migrator I am doing them by hand once again. I have the package created, but one of the input fields on the text file is YYYYMMDD , but the database field it is going into is a datetime so I need to convert it to a valid date format so that the conversion will take place. I tried data conversion task but that doesn't work, now I'm assuming I need to use the derived column, but not sure and don't have a clue how to use that, can anyone help? Thanks bostonrose
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi Guys,
Source Column Data type: Varchar
Destination Data Type: smalldatetime
We have 2 columns effective_Date and Expiration_Date:
the format of data in these columns is not consistent.
Sample values:
1/23/2006
Tuesday, June 21, 2005
1/0/1900
8-Mar-06,
NULL
Now, i want to convert to a standard date format like "2006-03-08 00:00:00".
please let me know the steps to do..
Thanks in Advance.

I have a csv file and I would like to load this file by SSIS in SQL Server.
One column of this file contains xml infos (it is about 60000 charachter), and I would like to have an xml column in Table in SQL Server.
From here the only ssis types, which able to contain so much character are DT_NTEXT and DT_TEXT.
If I want to have xml type in the target table in sql server, these both DT_NTEXT and DT_TEXT should be converted to DT_WSTR.
The Problem is: DT_WSTR can only contains 4000 charcters. In my situation with this infos, I can't have an xml column in target table in sql server.
I'm editing an SSIS package. The source column has datatype float and the data is stored like 1,2 instead of 1.2. To change this into a period instead of comma there is a derived column step in the ssis package. The expression in this derived column step to change this goes as:<o:p></o:p> (DT_STR ,32,1 252)(REPLACE((DT_STR,32,1252)SUBSCHAAL_SCORE,",","."))<o:p></o:p>
where SUBSCHAAL_SCORE is the name of the column. As you see the data is converted into a string. I need it to be converted into a numeric datatype (18,6) instead of string/varchar but it must also handle the first issue with changing the comma into a period. <o:p></o:p>
My Query is as shown below
Declare @FROMDATE DATETIME
Declare @THRUDATE DATETIME
Declare @Parm Varchar(250)
set @FROMDATE = '09/25/2013'
set @THRUDATE = '09/28/2013'
set @Parm = 'FROMDATE=' + @FROMDATE + ';THRUDATE=' + @THRUDATE
I am getting an error at above line saying that
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
Hi,
I have a calendar parameter in one of my reports. The values of the calendar are of the form 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mms'. And they are string values.
Now when I generate the report I have a textbox that takes the parameter label (e.g., parameter!calendar.label). However, I would like to format (or trim) the label as just 'yyyy-mm-dd'. Does anyone know how I can do this? I tried to change the parameter value format to datetime but this just throws an invalid datatype error...
cheers,

I am using rowVersion to detect rows that need to be re-extracted for my ETL. The first step in the ETL is to get MIN_ACTIVE_ROWVERSION() from the database, as well as the rowVersion from the last successful ETL run. Both of these values are saved in variables in SSIS. Since SSIS doesn't have an associated data type, these values are converted to nvarchar(512) before getting sent to SSIS.
I'm now trying to create a stored procedure to grab the data out of the source system. The sproc takes RowVersionMin and RowVersionMax as input parameters. Those parameters are then converted to varbinary(max), and I use them in a query to select the appropriate rows.
When I run the sproc in SSMS, it runs without a problem. However, when I try to use the sproc as a data source in SSIS, I get the following error: "Error converting data type nvarchar to varbinary". Why SSIS has a problem with this, but SSMS does not? The sproc code looks like this:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[dw_DimComment_DataLoad]
@RunType varchar(3),
@RowVersionMin nvarchar(512),
@RowVersionMax nvarchar(512)

I have a SSIS package which is reading from an Excel file.
The Excel is created from a report from another system and sometimes the date of birth formats as a Date and sometimes as string.
I've added a data viewer so I can see how the columns are read as soon as SSIS reads the file.
When the cell in Excel is set as text its read correctly - I can then convert to a date as necessary
When the cell in Excel is set as date its read in US format! i.e. if it was 01/13/2014 in excel its read as 13/01/2014
How can I get round this? Its not an option to manually force the column to be text once exported from the system as my package picks this up automatically.
I have tried
-Regedit set typeguessrows = 0
-IMEX = 1 in connection string
-Set LocaleID = UK in the data flow task to read from Excel

Is there a quick way to add the zero onto the year, before I convert them into datetime format?
Hi,
I'm writing some SQL and want to convert the following expression into a date format in the SELECT list:
'01/'&Month(OrderDate)&'/'&Year(OrderDate)
Basically, I want to look at each order date, convert that date to the first of that month and GROUP BY this expression.
There is a CONVERT function, but I'm new to all this and can't seem to get it to work.
Any help would be gratefully received!
Cheers!

I have a stored proc that is being executed from an OLE DB Source component in my Data Flow. Takes one input parm, has several variables declared within, a derived table which is used in a join and all within a try catch block with transaction handling. No updates, just returning data, works great, except now I have been asked to replace these stored procs with inline queries.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_Get_Test]
(
@numberOfMonthsint
)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
set transaction isolation level read uncommitted
[Code] ....
The problems I have run into so far are...
SQL command text in OLE DB Source Editor does not like:
- TRY/CATCH block
- Will not let me use my input parm (@numberOfMonths int)
- When I hard code in my input parm (select @BeginDate = dateadd(MONTH, -1, GETDATE())) I can parse query and run the step but no results are returned. So I am let to assume that it does not like the @TESTY derived table.
The query here as a sample has had pivots removed as well, but research suggests this should be an issue in the SQL command text.
Also, I know not even to try the Build Query... cause it will complain about any variable declarations (i.e., declare @BeginDate datetime).
For instance, can I pull this off with an Execute SQL Task? The problem is I don't see this available in the toolbox for the Data Flow.
Also, would my error handling be done in the Event Handlers tab now and if so, is there a good example of this?
The source is a flat file with a column where dates are stored as: 07/12/2006 11:35am. In some cases the column is blank.
I need to import this into a table with a datetime column. In the data flow task, I get the error that conversion b/w String and DB_Timestamp is not allowed. First question is why does SSIS think its a DB_Timestamp column? Shouldnt it be DB_Date or DB_Time. Anyway, when I add a Data Conversion Task in the Data Flow, and cast to the source column to either DB_TimeStamp, DB_Date or DB_Time I get an error.
Please help. What am I doing wrong.

So using SSIS how we would load this date column into the table into one format like dd/mm/yyyy or any single date format
I am trying to convert Julian Date YYYYDDD format to Gregorian Date.
Able to convert using the SQL Query but not sure how to implement in SSIS.
Script:
SELECT DATEADD(yy,'2011228'/1000-1900,'2011228'-('2011228'/1000*1000)-1) AS [Date]
Let me know how to convert this function into SSIS.
This is my code and I don't know why this error keeps coming out : PS : I did cursor to execute query.Th error showed is bold:

I've imported a CSV file into a table in SQL Server 2012. It's a large file, 140,000+ rows, so I couldn't covert it to Excel first to preserve the date format due to Excel's row limit. In the CSV file, there were 3 column with date data in "31-Aug-09" format, and the import automatically transformed these in "31AUG09" format (varchar(50)) in SQL Server. Now I need to convert these 3 columns from varchar to datetime so I could work with them in date format.
I've tried several things,e.g,
select
convert(datetime,
right(admdate,4)+left(admdate,2)+substring(admdate,3,3))
or
select
convert(datetime,
substring(admdate,6,4)+substring(admdate,1,2)+substring(admdate,3,3))
but keep getting the same error message (Msg 241) "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string".
