Hello. A question please. To define a column of a table in SqlServer, Does it exist a boolean data type ?
Thanks...
Obviously, I'm new to SQL Server, because I'm still scratching my head wondering where in the world the boolean data type is. Can anyone please explain to me how boolean data types REALLY work in SQL Server? I've created a few Bit type fields, but when using a datagrid, they sometimes show up as 0 and 1 and sometimes as True/False, and I can't see a difference in how the grids (or fields(!)) are set up that would explain this. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

What do you use in SQL when creating a table and the field is a "yes/no" type field? In VB isn't that a boolean data type? What is the corresponding SQL data type?
What is the syntax to pass in null value for boolean data type in VB in the stored procedure?
This is what I tried and it doesn't work.
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@disposition", adBoolean, adParamInput, 1, vbNull)
Thank you.
Ok so i've got a database containing a table called Quote.
I need one of the field's datatype to be Boolean?
which option do i choose?
and also is there a way to make the Key Field auto increment?
And is the datatype: ntext, the correct option for a text only field?
thanks
I have a page for inventory price entry that I have used for a while. Now I need to add a checkbox for whether or not the price includes shipping. I added the checkbox to the form and had it posting 'True' or 'False' to the database as nchar(10) data type. When the gridview pulls up the data, I have the Item Template like this, so it shows a disabled checkbox either checked or not: <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox2" runat="server" Checked='<%# Convert.ToBoolean(Eval("Shipping")) %>' Enabled="False" /> This works fine for displaying the values, but I copied the checkbox to the Edit Item Template, but did not disabled this one. At first, I didn't change the databindings, leaving it Convert.ToBoolean(Eval("Shipping")), which allowed me to go into Edit mode, change the checkbox, then click update. At which point it would return to it's original state (meaning Update wasn't actually updating). However if I change the databindings, then the page won't display. I checked the SQL statement, and sure enough, it has theUpdateCommand="UPDATE [PartsTable] ... SET [Shipping] = @Shipping... WHERE [PartID] = @original_PartIDAfter fiddling with the sql statement, now I get Object cannot be cast from DBNull to other types. I think that means that the checkbox is sending a null value to the database.Any insight as to how to get this to work is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am getting a error message saying: Invalid operator for data type. Operator equals boolean AND, type equals datetime.
I traced the pointer to @gdo and @gd, they are both dates!
INSERT INTO AdminAlerts values (CURRENT_USER, 'UPDATE', getDate(), @biui, 'Updated booking, ID of booking updated: ' & @biui & ', Booking date and time before/after update: ' & @gdo & '/' & @gd & ', Room number before/after update: ' & @rno & '/' & @rn & ' and Customer ID before/after update: ' & @cio & '/' & @ci)
If I cut that two dates out it works fine.
Could someone tell me the syntax to include a date in a string :confused:

Hi,
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:
this.court0TableAdapter1.Update(this.mycourtsDataSet1.Court0);
this.mycourtsDataSet1.AcceptChanges();
this.court0TableAdapter1.Fill(this.mycourtsDataSet1.Court0);
This did not happen with VS2005/CE3.01.
I have tried changing all references to decimal (or money in CE3.5) without luck.
I'm beginning to think that string may be the way to go!!!!!!!
Can someone shed some light on my problem.
Thanks,
Later:
It's necessary to update the datatable adapter as the 3.01 and 3.5 CE are not compatible.
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.".

Hello, I am trying to use a boolean parameter to filter data in a table, but there is something I am missing.
Basically I want something like this:
I have a boolean parameter, "EP", and I have a filter set on my table as:
Expression Operator Value
=Fields!REFERRAL_SOURCE.Value = IIF (Parameters!EP.Value, "1297", ????)
Using the filter tab, I can't specify an expression for the 'Operator' so I was trying to work it out using either '=' or 'like'. What needs to go into the ???? in order for the referral source to be "not 1297" (i.e. the inverse of the filter)?
Or, am I completely missing an easy way to do this?
Thanks.
I'm having a real hard time coming up with a solution to this problem. I created a custom gridview control from Dino Esposito's "Extending Gridview" article which autogenerates a checkbox column that allows for multiple record selection. Once a user checks a box, the entire row gets selected. I added a dropdown list on the top of the page that has only two options, "Yes" or "No". What I'm trying to do is update a boolean column called "contract" (I'm using the Pubs sample database) for all selected rows (via checkboxes checked) depending on whether the user selects "Yes" or "No" from the drop down menu. For example,1) the user selects "No" in the dropdown2) The user checks all rows in the checkbox column for which he wants the all the values"contract" field set to "No"3) The user then clicks on a button called "Submit" and all selected records get updated to "No" under the "contracts" column. The idea is to allow the user to change the boolean values from a field for multiple records. Hence, making individual cells editable is pointless. Anybody have an idea how to go about this?

thx
Hello, I have worked with SQL Server 2000 but now we have a requirement where I need to write values from an asp.net form into an XML type in SQL Server 2005.I have never used XML as a type in SQL Server 2005. How do we write xml into xml type. For example the structure of XML is something like:<application><applicationID = "value"></applicationID><customerName="value></customerName></application>I have to write this kind of XML into the XML type and later retrieve these XML values and populate the form again.Kindly suggest. Thanks a lot.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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,
