Invalid Character Value For Cast Specification. The Value Could Not Be Converted Because Of A Potential Loss Of Data..
Jan 30, 2008
Why would I get these errors:
" SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Invalid character value for cast specification".
There was an error with input column "UniqueID" (3486) on input "OLE DB Command Input" (3438). The column status returned was: "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".

I read related posts but could not figure out the error?
I am using SQL Server 2005. I am trying to import data from CSV files into an SQL Server table using the Import wizard. The text qualifier is double quotes ("), column delimeter is a comma (,), first row has column names. One of the field name is "id", which is a GUID, whose datatype in SQL Server is uniqueidentifier. It looks like this in the file: ..."data","data","dbf7edf8-0ca8-4e53-91e3-5901cdc1819a","data"... As you can see, there are no enclosing curly braces for the guid value. The DTS chokes on this and throws this error: The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data If I add curly braces like this {dbf7edf8-0ca8-4e53-91e3-5901cdc1819a}, it imports with no problem. Is there way to import this type of data, because there is no way I can edit these files, and I would prefer not changing the datatype of the id field? Or is this a limitation of SQL Server? Thanks,Bullpit
During import from CSV i am getting following error "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data". My CSV file contains a column "years" and i have selected datatime in the import wizar. Can I scape from this error and import all my data.
I've searched the threads and didn't see anything which seemed to fit this specific issue....
I have a Data Flow task which reads from an OLE DB Source (SQL Server 2005), uses a Data Conversion transformation to convert some field values, and finally outputs the result to distinct tabs of an Excel workbook. The task is failing with the following error:
There was an error with input column "oBBCompanyName" (2162) on input "Excel Destination Input" (57). The column status returned was: "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
Using the Advanced Editor for the Excel Destination component, I examined the datatype of oBBCompanyName (ID = 2162) in the Input Columns list of the "Excel Destination Input" (identified with ID = 57). The Data Type is defined as DT_WSTR with Length = 255. The ExternalMetaDataColumnID = 203.
Also in the Advanced Editor for the Excel Destination, I examined the datatype of BBCompanyName (ID = 203) in the Extranl Columns list of the Excel Destination Input. The Data Type is defined as "Unicode String [DT_WSTR] with Length = 255.
What could I be overlooking that might be the root cause of this issue? The same error is occurring for different Excel Destination tasks in the data flow.
I am getting the error below in my Flat File Source.
I've seen this error many times before, and have successfully resolved this problem in the past.
However, this time it's a little different. It's complaining about row 7 of myFile.csv, column 20. I have column 20 defined as a Numeric(18,6). It also maps to the Price field in the table, which is also a Numeric(18,6).
The problem is, on row 7 of myFile, column 20 is blank. That is, there's no data for row 7, column 20.
So, why should it care about this?? If it's blank, then how can you lose any data?? I have several other blank columns in this file, but they aren't throwing any errors. Just this one.
Thanks

I am having a bit of a difficult trying to understand this one. I had imported two tables around 2-300 rows each ran this in 64 bit scheduled it and it ran okay. I now introduced a 3rd table which if I change the true64bit to false it will run however if left true it keeps mentioning the output column of descr with a loss of data.
I did move it to 32bit and then ran the package it comes up as below. If I rememeber I can run this in 32bit mode which I'm sure will work hmm maybe!! but what I can't understand is why it works for two tables? is it something to do with the translation of the table or do I need alter the select statement?
Currently it is a select *

With my SSIS package, I want to import data from a flat file (TXT- delimited with ?) to a table in my database in sql server 2005. The problem is that I have a column of type datetime in my table. But as you know, the data in txt is string. First I created my package through importing data and using import/export wizard in management studio to my database and selecting flat file connection. There, I selected my txt file and column delimiter as ?, then suggested types for the columns. There it selects 8 byte signed integer type for the datetime column in my table. After these steps I create my package and execute it. But it does not put data in my table in the database. It gives the error of "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data" or "cast conversion failed" . I tried other types of date, timestamp, string but none of them was successful. What should I do to put data in my table from txts. Please can you help me urgently!!!
I have a flat file that has a date column where the date fields look like 20070626, for example. No quotes.
The problem is that several of the date values are missing, and instead of the date value the field looks like this , ,
That is, there are several blank spaces where the date should be. The number of blank spaces between the commas doesn't appear to be a set number (and it could even be 8 blank spaces, I don't know, in which case I don't know if checking for the Len will produce the correct results, but that's another issue...)
So, similar to the numeric field blanks problem, I wrote a script to convert the field to null. This is the logic I used:
If Not Len(Row.TradeDate) = 8 Then
Row.TradeDate_IsNull = True
End If
The next step in my data flow after the script is a derived column where I convert TradeDate from 20070625 to 06/25/2007. So the exact error message I am receiving is this:
[OLE DB Destination [547]] Error: There was an error with input column "TradeDate - derived" (645) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (560). The column status returned was: "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
Do I need to add a conditional split after the script and BEFORE the derived column to redirect bad rows so they don't go to the derived column?
I'm getteing an error saying "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid character value for cast specification" when i try to debug a store procedure. The Store Procedure parameters are as below. PROCEDURE clCreateUnpostedTrxEarnType ( @SERIES int, @PERIODID int, @YEAR int, @PTRATIO float, @CPTYPE int, @CPTRXTYPE int, @Startdate datetime, @Enddate datetime, @O_iErrorState int = NULL output )
I am using the backend SQLServer with Powerbuilder, I write a stored procedure and tried to create a datawindow to use that procedure but failed, it returns error code 22005 -Invalid Character value for cast specification. I tried to change any setting in ODBC but still failed.
accessing through ODBC a frond end application which is running on MS SQL Server 2005, works just fine with a specific setup as concerned as the decimal/thousands separators ("," for thousands and "." for decimals). If i switch these settings alternatively ("." for thousands and "," for decimals), i get this error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid character value for cast specification.
I tried to search forum and internet but no luck. Thanks in advance
hello, i have a problem with SQL Server Agent. Sometimes, when a scheduled job runs i get this error:
Error: 2008-03-13 06:04:50.50 Code: 0xC0202009 Source: Load Current OLE DB Destination [124] Description: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.

End Error Error: 2008-03-13 06:04:50.52 Code: 0xC0209029 Source: Load Current OLE DB Destination [124]
the code i use looks like this
DECLARE @Report_date datetime SET @Report_date = dateadd(dd,-1,convert(varchar(10),getdate(),121))
select CollectDate = @Report_date
the destination column is datetime. Is this a known issue / bug? Because this doesn't happen everytime, and when it does happen all i have to do ia run the job again.
I have a Data Flow task that is simply copying data from table A to table B. (there is a derived column in between however)
All the columns in table A are varchar(255). The columns in table B vary: floats, decimals, etc
However, I am getting a bazillion errors when I run this, each of them to the effect that:
Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Invalid character value for cast specification". An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client"
I don't understand why this is happening... I've succesfully run similar scenarios with other packages, ie) moving data from one table to another table even though the tables have different data types.
The following error is encountered when importing a delimited flat file with date of fomat "dd.mm.yyyy"
Error: 0xC02020A1 at Data Flow Task, Source - DCDtest_xpt [1]: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "value date" returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
This was when I manually built the package.
I get the same error when using the Import/Export wizard
I am even using the "suggest types" button and have tried sampling the default number of rows (?200) and also 2000.
The type it suggests is DT_DATE.
But reading the BOL, this would appear to be the wrong type:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141036.aspx (obviously the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing)
seems to indicate that
DT_DBTIMESTAMP
is the correct value
(I cannot believe that they have different datatypes in SSIS than in SQL. I can't believe for a minute this is for all the hundreds of thousands of Oracle users who obviously switched to SSIS when they saw what a high quality product it is.)
I tried other DT_... values but no dice.
Can anyone help?
I always thought that Classic ASP was the worst product I've ever worked with from the Microsoft stable, but I was wrong.
I am fed up of having to post on this board (no wonder it is so 'popular')
Talking to peers, reading books, googling nearly always enables me to figure out a problem with any application I have ever used, but SSIS breaks the mould in sheer crapness and the weirdnes and unfathomability of its cryptic errors,.
I have an odd problem that is driving me nutz. I have a very simple SSIS package that imports a 5 colum flatfile into a sql Server 2005 Table.
When I created this package with the wizzard, it will execute perfectly fine and processes all rows into the destination table.
But when I hit F5 to execute it manually it will fail before inserting a single row.
The error it generates is (Spalte 5 is a Datetime in the format DD.MM.YYYY) :
Error: 0xC02020A1 at Datenflusstask, Source - Daten_NC_1_txt [1]: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "Spalte 5" returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".

I have a question regarding the running of a procedure from VC++ in SQL server.
well this is the scenario.
i have a procedure in SQL server and i am running that thru my VC++ code. :eek: i have a recordset class and i create an object of it and then do a obj.Open(). the procedure is fetching 24 records correctly in the query analyser and in my while(!(obj.IsEOF())) loop it gets the first record correctly but the moment it encounters obj.MoveNext(); it bombs and gives me the following error..
"Invalid Character value for cast specification ".
Hi,I used SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition. I created a stored procedurehaving input parameters as smallint,tinyint,char,varchar andsmalldatetime. When I executed it by Query Analyzer, it's ok. But whenI executed it by ASP code that used ADODB.command, it showed error:Invalid character value for cast specification .Though SQL Server debugger, it showed:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid character value for castspecificationWhat did I do wrong? How do I fix this problem?TIAKrungPS: One of input parameters was smalldatetime, but I casting it in ASPas date as:Const adDate=7datetxt='2004/6/28'cmd.Parameters.Append cmd.CreateParameter("CoopId",adChar,adParamInput, 8, coopid)cmd.Parameters.Append cmd.CreateParameter("Addr",adVarChar,adParamInput, 100, addr)...cmd.Parameters.Append cmd.CreateParameter("Cdate",adDate,adParamInput, , datetxt)....cmd.execute
Hi, I'm a new DBA and am a rookie when it comes to working with SQL Server 2005. I have been tasked with transfering an Access database to SQL Server 2005. Now I understand to use the import/export wizard, but am having problems fixing an error I am receiving. Here is the error...

Here is the short version of the error. I realize that there is an error with the conversion and the error is in tblResource in column Contract Start Date. It is still transfering the column over, and on spot check they seem fine. Should I be really worried about an error? Or is there something that I can do with the Access or SQL server database to fix this?

I have attached the table definition of both source as well as destination.
Hi all--Given a table called "buyers" with the following column definitions in a SQL Server 2005 database:
[BUYER] [nvarchar](40) NULL,
[DIVISION] [nvarchar](3) NULL,
[MOD_DATE] [datetime] NULL
This table is laden with Unicode data and the MOD_DATE contains no data--not even NULL values, and is giving me a headache as a result. I can export this data fine to a text file, but when I create an SSIS package to attempt import to another table defined exactly the same as above in another place, I get the following messages:

Among the customizations in this package is the flag "ValidateExternalMetadata" set to False. The data itself is surrounded by " and delimited by semicolons for each field, with the header row set as the name of each column. It looks like this:
"BUYER";"DIVISION";"MOD_DATE" "108 Joon-Hyn Kim";"TAD";"" "109 Kang-Soo Do";"TAD";"" "FS07 John Smith";"TAD";""
...
Can anyone suggest a course of action on how to handle the error when the MOD_DATE field is completely empty?

I'm getting a very strange potential loss of data error on my flat file source in the data flow. The flat file is fixed width and the column in question is defined as numeric [DT_NUMERIC]. The transform runs great if this column IS NOT A ZERO. As soon as a zero value is found, I get the error. It errors on the flat file source, so I haven't been able to use a data viewer to see what's going on.
I'm usung bcp to move data from one table to another. 202 million rows. The source/original table had 32 fields. The new table has 33 fields. I added a PK column to the destination/new table.

The error is :SQLState = 22018, NativeError = 0 Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Invalid character value for cast specification

I have a web application (ISAPI) that accesses a SQL Server 2000 (sp3) database in the same machine as the Web Server (IIS 6). Windows 2003 Standard Edition is the operating System. So, when users access the aplication through the web it runs ok until display the error message "Invalid authorization specification" or, sometimes, another message about failure to inform ODBC DSN, although I dont use ODBC.
When the error occurs, the user press F5 in the browser and the operation goes ok. It's an intermitent and curious error.

What could be wrong? Do I need enable permission for asp.net in sql server? how I can do it?
We are testing our product on Windows Vista with SQL Server 2005 SP2 and are encountering an "invalid authorization specification". We make the connection through a Windows service using a standard ADO connection. I have tried changing the provider in the connection string to SQLNCLI without any success. The application is written in Delphi 5 and has worked on previous versions of Windows running SQL Server 2005.
a customer is getting on mS SQL 2000ERROR ODBC 28000 Invalid authorization specificationI dont understand because all the rigth are OKASP NET USER, IISS user and so on !i am trying to connect the to SQL from ASPX pages (it works for me and a few customers but not that one)what can be the problem ?thank you
I've been trying to connect to my local SQL Server instance (SQL Server 2005) using the SQLNCLI interface from c++ without success. I consistently receive an 'Invalid authorization specification' error (SQL state 28000 and SQL error number 0) when I call IDBInitialize::Initialize to connect to the database. I was hoping someone here could shed some light on this and help me out.
The strange thing is that I get no error if I leave the user blank (L"" in vValue.bstrVal) and try to connect. Also, IDBProperties::SetProperties returns 0 when the user is blank but 40eda when the user is set. This seems to be a message from the pipeline facility but I haven't found the description of the code (0xeda).
The user in the database is configured with no password and I can successfully connect to the server and open the database using that user through Management Studio.
I've also tried using the SQLOLEDB provider with the same results.
Suspecting that I'm setting the properties wrong I include a code snippet below showing how I'm setting the properties:
for (int i = 0; i < sizeof(dbprop) / sizeof(dbprop[0]); i++) VariantInit(&dbprop[ i ].vValue);
// Server name dbprop[0].dwPropertyID = DBPROP_INIT_DATASOURCE; dbprop[0].vValue.vt = VT_BSTR; dbprop[0].vValue.bstrVal = SysAllocString(L"localhost"); dbprop[0].dwOptions = DBPROPOPTIONS_REQUIRED; dbprop[0].colid = DB_NULLID;
