Newbie - Data Conversion?
Jun 15, 2004
Hi everyone... sorry, but I'm really new at this! I'm trying to make a table out of an imported Excel file (which is automatically generated as an all-text data type). I wrote a query that takes this excel file and puts it into the format we need (i.e., appropriate column headers, removing "garbage" characters and spaces). Is there any way to format the data going into the table by a specified datatype?
Sorry if this is simplistic or wasting your time, but I'm really stumped :o. However, keep in mind that I started learning SQL this morning and I've already gotten this far :).

Hi Experts,
I am extracting data from SQL Server 2005 to flat file destination. I am using SQL Command to specify the data selection query. One of my query uses Replicate function to derive a column value. When I execute this package it fails with the error "Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "value" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page".
The reason for the problem is that, it is taking the InputColumnWidth of the flat file destination as 8000 and I specified the OutputColumnWidth as 4.
If I change the OutputColumnWidth to 8000, it is working without any error but resulting in the column width of 8000.
I tried using DerivedColumn Transformation's Type cast and DataConversion Transformation but still I am getting the same error in the respective Transformation components.
Can anyone suggest how to solve this issue.

Hello All,
I am migrating data from one database to another. I am using Multicast to seperate (legal street,legal mail and legal city) and (mail_street,mail_state,mail_zip,mail_city) also later after UNION of the above I am doing two lookups as I had to get contact ID and Customer ID from other two tables. In UNION i am matching (Mail street legal street) and so on.
I am getting double the data in the output. my input data is 1000000 and im gettin 2000000.
What could be the reasons. Please help me out.
Thank You

Hello,
I am wondering what conversion rules apply, when a string, which contains a number, is saved to a SQL Server 2005 into a column of type decimal.
This is the code I€™m using (C++):
CString cValue = "0.75"
_variant_t vtFieldValue;
vtFieldValue = _variant_t(cValue)
pRecordSet->Fields->Item["MyColumn"]->Value = vtFieldValue;
"pRecordSet" is an ADO recordset. The database column "MyColumn" is of type "decimal(19,10)".
The most important question for me is, if the regional settings of the database server or the regional settings of the client PC are considered during the conversion from the string to the decimal value. For example in standard French regional settings the "." would not be recognized as decimal separator.
I am also wondering if the language of the database instance, in which this data is saved, is considered during this conversion or any other settings of this database instance.
So my general question is: Does anybody know exactly what rules apply during the above mentioned conversion?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Volker

Hello
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.".
Error: 0xC0209029 at Datenflusstask, Source - Daten_NC_1_txt [1]: The "output column "Spalte 5" (25)" failed because error code 0xC0209084 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "Spalte 5" (25)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
Error: 0xC0202092 at Datenflusstask, Source - Daten_NC_1_txt [1]: An error occurred while processing file "C:WorkDaten_NC_1.txt" on data row 177.
Edit: Modified the Title so it properly reflects the Problem & the Solution

It is an ID field and should i convert to bigint or should i leave it as char datatype is it i a good solution or is there a way to over come this.

Hi,
I have another issue. I have an excel file that I pipe through a "data conversion" task. I have set all the column data types to strings, because there's no way to know beforehand if a particular column will be number or text because the file is very non-standard (it looks more like a formatted report).
After the data conversion, I send all the rows to a script task. In the script task, I do a check on the numeric fields.
for example:
If Not IsNumeric(Row.Price) Then
Row.Price_IsNull = True
End If
However, this check fails each and every time, even if the field contains a number! I don't have this problem when using flat file sources.
So, none of my numeric fields are getting loaded to my ole db destination.
Help, is there a way around this? Or am I forced to just skip this number check altogether? I'd prefer not to.
Thanks

I am just starting out with MSSQL, but have previous experience with MySQL and PGSQL. What I'm trying to do is do a nightly dump of data from a proprietary DB into MSSQL. Access to the prop DB is through an ODBC driver.
I already have a DTS script that will dump a specific table, but every time it runs it just appends the data to the end of the table.
What I am looking for is a way to download a list of tables, upload them into the MSSQL DB, and if something failed, rollback to the state before the data transfer and somehow alert of the fact.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hello everyone, I am new to mssql so please excuse all my silly questions.
I can create databases and tables. This is fairly easy, now I am having trouble with inputting data into the database using the data entry browser (or whatever it is called to enter data directly into a table).
I usually get an error when trying to submit the entry, firstly I have a "id" field which I think I have set to auto increase (Identity is ticked, seed and increment is set to 1).
when I go to add data all fields have "Null" in them and from what I understand it allows the fields to be empty, except the primary key which is the id field in this case and I expect that to be filled in automatically like with mysql but isn’t.
Can some kind person instruct or direct me somewhere on how to enter data into a table without it failing.
Thanks in advanced for any information provided.

Hi. I just set up my first sql server database and I've managed to connect to it via ASP as a test.
I'm not sure how to add data to my tables. In MS Access, you can edit the table and add records. How do I do that in SQL Server?
I'm using the Enterprise manager tool to create tables.... does it have something i can use?
Thanks

It was suggested to me to try and post this here in the sql express forum.
I am trying to query a specific field from my sse database based on two different variables. And use this information to fill a textbox with an integer.
The first variable is a combobox that is filled with data in one of the other tables in the sse database. This table has a PKcolumn that is an integer and the identity of the column. The only other column is a nvarchar(30) string (which is the actual data in the combobox)
The second variable is a numeric up down that isn't actualy using info from the database but will be a reference. It has a max value written in to the code:
if NumericUpDown1.Value > 20 Then
MessageBox.Show("This form only supports characters up to level 20")
NumericUpDown1.Value = 20
The texbox value will be found in a table that has several columns, the first column is an identity column (also the PK) then it has a column that holds an integer value (the filter criteria for the numeric up down) the next column has the value that will fill the text box, then several other columns that are irrelevant for this, and then the final column is a foreign key that is linked to the primary key of information found in the table that feeds the combo box.
I will post a picture of the database diagram to show all of this information for a better understanding of this post.
I am not looking for someone to write the code for me, but I am totally stumped as to what I need to do, If someone can help me out with this I would greatly appreciate it, thanks in advanced.

Hi,
I am able to do these actions interactively from SQL 2005 (not developers nor enterprise edition, just using SQL 2005 Mgmt Studio) and want to "script/batch" them so I can have them automatically run at a pre selected time.
First: I am able to delete the table by performing a right click on the table, then click Delete from Mgmt Studio SQL 2005. I verify the table is completely gone with a refresh. (I pulled the code that did this ..... DROP TABLE etc. to Notepad)
2nd: I am able to import the table (again from Mgmt Studio SQL 2005) and have saved this action as a SSIS. Execute the script and "waLa" I have all 17K rows of data. I pulled this create table code into notepad also.
Now I put the code of both of the above actions together (drop table and create table) into one SQL query and execute it. This does not give me the same results of above, instead my table is blank now.
Maybe there is a better way. The business problem I am attempting to solve: I am refreshing the data in a as/400 table weekly. I want that refreshed data to be available in the SQL2005 database without my having to press buttons first thing Monday morning. Can any one help? Thanks in advance.
Below is the Code:

Hi there. i have the following excel spreadsheet that needs to be moved into a database:
ADDRESS
STREET
SURNAME
GIVEN
PHONE
CITY
POSTAL
NOTES
TERR
40
Goodless Crt
You
M
(416) 123-1234
SC
M1B 1A1
SC-123-12
59
Bellevue Ave
Doe
Jon
(416) 123-1234
SC
M1B 1A3
SC-123-13
Most of these fields are going to be created as reference tables... and the main contact list table will only include a fk to the actual value.
eg) the contact table for the above will look like:
ADDRESS
STREET
SURNAME
GIVEN
PHONE
CITY
POSTAL
NOTES
TERR
40

You
M
(416) 123-1234

M1B 1A1

59
2
Doe
Jon
(416) 123-1234
1
M1B 1A3

My question is, what is the best way to move all this data into SQL Server Express?
I've been playing around with the LinkedServers section in sql and have managed to create a connection to my excel workbook. I am able to select all worksheets as tables... and i've also been able to select all records from the main contacts sheet.
not knowing any better, my initial thoughts are to create separate sql statements for each reference table.
eg) select street from excellink...contact$
and then combine it somehow with an insert statement into the streets table in my database.
Is this the right approach? if it is, can you help with the syntax of the sql statement?
Please and thanks.

What I'm finding confusing is that the connection string seems to be finding "aranga"s database.
Is it something daft?

Can someone help me to understand something about SQL Server? I will use Access for comparison.
Suppose you have a SQL Server database and you want users to be able to enter data into the fields just like you could with an Access database and forms. How would you set that up with SQL Server? I have noticed that you can convert an Access database into SQL Server, but you still need to use Access forms to enter data into the tables stored in SQL Server.
What if you wanted to create an SQL Server database from the ground up and set it up for user entry?
What am I missing here?

Hi,
We currently have about 900 stored procedures which have logic to group healthcare claims into different 'Edit Groups' depending on the logic within each 'Edit' stored procedure.
Examples of the logic for the Edit stored procedures would be something like:
Edit1: Find all claims from same patient and same provider (matching on SubsriberID and ProviderID) which has a procedure code in (P1, P2, P3....P345) and a diagnosis code in (D1, D2,...D123) and does NOT have a modifer code in (M1, M2, M3)
Edit2: Find all claims from same patient and same provider (matching on SubsriberID and ProviderID) which has a procedure code in (P7, P8, P9....Pxxx) and a diagnosis code in (D1, D2,...Dyyy) and has a modifer code in (M3, M4, M7), which are dated within 120 days of each other.
Do you think one of the SQL Server 2005 Data mining algorithms (Clustering or Classification or Association Rules) could play some part in this? Most of the 900 stored procs can be grouped based on logic, I mean the logic is similar for each group and only the parameters (in brackets above) vary for each stored proc within the same group.
We're totally new to data mining, although we do have some moderately complex cubes running. Which algorithm (if any) would be the most appropriate for our needs?
Thanks for any help,
JGP

Using SQL Server 2005 Standard
The basic question
What is the best way to export data from an excel spreadsheet into a sql server table?
My Application
Getting data indicating hours worked from employee timesheets into a centralised DB, then running analysis reports on it.
The columns and datatypes in the excel sheet are as follows:
Week (int) | EmployeeID (int) | JobNum (int) | ActivityNum (int) | Hours (int)
There will be a new excel file each week that, once the employee has filled out the data, would need to be saved and exported to the sql table. The columns in the sql table are exactly the same as the excel table with the addition of a RecordID primary key column.
Can I create a macro button that they can push when they have completed their timesheet OR would it be better to tell the employees to save copies of their timesheets in a certain folder on the company network and then run a batch on all the files in the folder at the end of the day?
Or is there another more efficient solution? Would I use SSIS for this or something else?
I've never used SSIS before and am a newbie at SQL Server too.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi there,
Completely new to the world of databases. I'm a designer who works primarily in Flash. In any case, I'm trying to manage an application that uses MS SQL and learn about the wonderful world of databases.
Ok, I modified a table (e.g. I added a column called "Rate") that had associated views (created by another developer). Noticed that my application went a little wonky as some of my variables within my app took on the value of the data in the "Rate" column. I checked one of the views and noticed that a column within the view (e.g. TutorID) was assuming the values in the "Rate" column. Note: The column TutorID had been blank before the change to the table. I'm completely lost as to why this is happening. Do I need to rebuild the view? Can I just reset the original view?
Thanks.
Oh yeah, I'm using SQL4X Manager J from Mac Guru (if that helps).

Hi all,
I've exposed my data (that exists in a proprietary format) with the ADO.NET provider interfaces (IDbConnection, IDataReader, IDbDataAdapter and IDbCommand). I can't seem to find any examples of how to get Integrated Services to hookup to this .NET code in my class library. Is it possible? My goal is for this provider to be both a destination and a source and for others to be able use IS to manipulate the data however they want.
Some links or examples would be great.
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm a newbie on SSIS and am trying to grasp my way through this.
I am trying to copy data from a Sql Server 2000 database to a simplified table in Sql Server 2005 database.
What I want is to move the data to a staging table, then drop the main
table and rename the staging table to the main table, to minimize the
down-time of the data. I can't get the workflow to work, because the
staging table has to exist when I run the package. I thought I could
use an "Execute SQL" task to generate the table before I would run the
task, but that doesn't work. Am I going about this the wrong way? Is
there an optimal solution to this problem so my data can be accessible
as much as possible.
Regards,
Atli

The following is a list of questions that I have not been able to obtain concrete answers. I am probably missing something:
1) ReadWriteVariables -- can the updated value for a ReadWriteVariable be accessed within the same data flow? It appears not as I think the PostExecute() fires at the completion of the data flow not the end of the Script Component. Secondarily, the Script Component is a non-blocking transformation so the component does not "see" the end of the pipeline prior to sending data down stream.
2) Record Count -- Because of #1 above, How could you calculate a record count for a data stream? It does not appear that one can calculate the number of records for a data stream within a data flow and then access the count from within the same data flow.
3) FinishOutputs() -- Is the concept of FinishOutputs() applicable to Script Component Destinations? Asked another way, is FinishOutputs() executed at the end of the data stream regardless of whether there are "real" outputs for the component? I can create a "Dummy" output to create FinishOutputs() but is this ok?
4) Script Component -- It appears that the Script Component Source, Transformation or Destination are really defined based on the columns defined in "Inputs and Outputs". Can you convert an Source script component to a transformation script component by simply adding an Output?
Sorry for these basic questions but I am not getting it completely. As you can tell...

After testing out the application i write on the local pc. I deploy it to the webserver to test it out. I get this error.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The conversion of a char data type to a
datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
Notes: all pages that have this error either has a repeater or datagrid which load data when page loading.
At first I thought the problem is with the date, but then I can see
that some other pages that has datagrid ( that has a date field) work
just fine.
anyone having this problem before?? hopefully you guys can help.

I have a View that multiplies a decimal (8,5) data type * money data type (no cast or convert) and for some odd reason comes up with a bit result (0 or 1). If I take the select statement out of the View, paste it into Query analyzer and execute it I get a decimal result.
It's easy enough to put a cast into the view but I'm wondering what is going on in the view that returns the bit data type.

I need help!!!! I am about to go nuts! I am getting the following error in SSIS:
Error at Violations Load [SQL Server Destination [3800]]:
The column ""Site No "" can't be inserted because the
conversion between types DT_STR and DT_NUMERIC is not supported.
I have tried using the data conversion task,
modifying all properties to DT_NUMERIC and so on. I just can't
figure it out! I am attempting to load a numeric field from a
flat file into a SQL Server database. I cannot find any
information on this and have tried about everything. I need any
help or suggestions anyone can offer! Thank you in advance for
your help!!

Hello,
I have a package that's been created programatically. Within the dataflow, there's a source and destination. Now, I need to create a data conversion between the two. Does anyone have VB code to demonstrate this?
Thanks,
JG

Hi!
I would be grateful for some advice, when getting error. I have 4 Lookups and one Data Conversion, getting the follwing error. Product.articlenr is a 13 number+letter productnumber.
[Lookup Demo [3882]] Warning: The Lookup transformation encountered duplicate reference key values when caching reference data. The Lookup transformation found duplicate key values when caching metadata in PreExecute. This error occurs in Full Cache mode only. Either remove the duplicate key values, or change the cache mode to PARTIAL or NO_CACHE.
[Data Conversion [9467]] Error: Data conversion failed while converting column "articlenr" (8559) to column "Copy of Lookup Product.articlenr" (10059). The conversion returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
[Data Conversion [9467]] Error: The "output column "Copy of Lookup Product.articlenr" (10059)" failed because error code 0xC020907F occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "Copy of Lookup Product.articlenr" (10059)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.

Hi,
The requirement is, we have to transfer from Flat file to OledBDestination. Flat File example is: 001|001|abc|
In the Database Table, Column A and Column B are Numeric(4,3). Column C is varchar(50).We have to write custom component (programmatically) which puts in the Database as
0.001|0.001|abc
I followed the Programmatic Sample, that comes with installation, ChangeCase which changes the case of the column as it moves to Database. I modified the program to meet my requirement. Program Sample is below. In below, I get the decimal Value (as columnValue), and then Divide by Math.Pow(10.0,3) to get 0.001. And I set it to thebuffer.SetDecimal method. For some reason, the decimal values does not show up in the Database. It truncates and gives 0.000. What Am I doing Wrong? Please help and suggest....
Decimal columnValue = buffer.GetDecimal(colInfo.bufferColumnIndex);
columnValue = (Decimal)(Decimal.ToDouble(columnValue) / Math.Pow(10.0, (3)));
buffer.SetDecimal(colInfo.bufferColumnIndex, columnValue);
All Code here:
public override void ProcessInput(int inputID, PipelineBuffer buffer) {
if (!buffer.EndOfRowset){
IDTSInput90 input = ComponentMetaData.InputCollection.GetObjectByID(inputID);
int errorOutputID = -1;
int errorOutputIndex = -1;
int defaultOutputId = -1;
GetErrorOutputInfo(ref errorOutputID, ref errorOutputIndex);
if (errorOutputIndex == 0)
defaultOutputId = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection[1].ID;
else defaultOutputId = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection[0].ID;
while (buffer.NextRow()){
if (columnInfos.Length == 0)
buffer.DirectRow(defaultOutputId);
bool isError = false;
/// Iterate the columns in the columnInfos array.
for (int x = 0; x < columnInfos.Length; x++){
ColumnInfo colInfo = columnInfos[x];
/// Is the column null?
if (!buffer.IsNull(colInfo.bufferColumnIndex)){
if (colInfo.dataType == DataType.DT_NUMERIC){
Decimal columnValue = buffer.GetDecimal(colInfo.bufferColumnIndex);
columnValue = (Decimal)(Decimal.ToDouble(columnValue) / Math.Pow(10.0, (3)));
buffer.SetDecimal(colInfo.bufferColumnIndex, columnValue);
if (!isError)
buffer.DirectRow(defaultOutputId);
}
