OSQL Unicode Insert Of ^F (Hex 06) From Registry Multi-String Value Is Duplicating In DB
Jul 26, 2005
I'm using a Unicode sql script imported using OSQL. One of the values
we are attempting to insert is a Registry Multi-String value by passing
a string to a stored procedure. These Multi-String values appear to be
delimited by a Hex 06 (^F) character. When I import this character,
embedded in a string preceeded by an N, i.e
N'somethingsomething2something3'
I end up with TWO of this character in the db. I get :
somethingsomething2something3
Any help figuring out why or how to fix this? We MUST use Unicode due
to extended character sets, so NOT using Unicode is NOT a solution.

In SQL 2000 DTS, I was able to append data from an ODBC source to a SQL 2000 destination table. The destination table was created by copying an attached source table in Access to a new table, then upsizing it to SQL. The character fields come over as varchar, and that seemed to be fine with the DTS job.
Now using the same source table and the same SQL destination, only in SQL 2005 with Integration Services instead of DTS, I get an error because the connection manager interprets the source text fields as Unicode and the destination fields are varchar.
I could script the table and change the text fields in the destination table to nvarchar, but this could have adverse affect on the application that uses the destination table. Is there a way to make the connection manager see the source text fields as varchar, or have the integration package allow the append even though the destination is varchar and the source is nvarchar?

In my package , I am used CDC Source transformation and received the Net changes then insert into Destination. 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.

Hi guys and gals,
I've had some great headaches with SSIS this morning, which I have managed to get a workarounds for, but I'm not happy with them so I've come to ask for advice.
Basically, I am exporting data from an SQL Server database into an Excel spreadsheet and hitting issues with unicode and non-unicode data types.
For example, I have a column that is char(6) and have added a data conversion step to the data flow, which converts it to type DT_WSTR and then everything works!
However, this seems like a completely un-neccessary step as I should be able to do the conversion in T-SQL - but no matter what I try I keep getting the same problem.
SELECT Cast(employee_number As nvarchar(255)) As [employee_number]
FROM employee
WHERE forename = 'george'
ErrorValidation error. details: 1 [1123]: Column "employee_number" cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types.
I know I have a solution (read: workaround) but I really don't want to do this everytime!
Any suggestions for what else to try?

I have an Excel Source component hooked to an OLE DB Destination component in my SSIS 2005 Data Flow Task. After I mapped the excel columns to the OLE DB table columns i get these errors below. I noticed that for the first error, the Excel Field format (when you mouse over the column name in the mappings section in OLE DB component) is of type [DTWSTR] and the corresponding SQL field from my SQL table that it's mapping to is of type [DT_STR] when mousing over that field in the mappings in the properties of my OLE DB component. All table fields in SQL Server for the table I'm inserting into are of type varchar.

Hi,
I have spent countless number of hours trying to solve the issue, but to no vail. My problem is SSIS throws "cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types" when i am try to transform data from DB2 to SQL Server 2005. And please note, i tried all possibilities like changing the destination field which is in SQL Server 2005 to nvarchar and also text. But so far no help. And i also looked at previous posts which did not help me either.
Thank You in advance.

Hi,We have stored proc name proc_test(str nvarchar(30)). So far this prochas been invoked from a .NET application assuming that only Englishcharacter strings will be passed to it. The calls are likeproc_test('XYZ')We now have a requirement for passing Chinese strings as well. Ratherthan changing the calls throughout the application, we would like tohandle it in the stored procedure so that it treats the string as aunicode string. Can we apply some function to the parameter to convertit to unicode so that we don't have to call with an N prefixed to thestring?Thanks,Yash

Hi,
I am getting an issue when i try to run a package which was validated against an oracle database on windows with UTF8. When I try to run the same package(no changes, just changing the conenction parameters to point to an oracle database on UNIX with UTF16), the package fails with error saying cannot convert unicode to string for string columns.
The same run through fine if I refresh the metadata against the UNIX database, but then it doesnt run against the Windows database.
Can anyone please suggest how to overcome this scenario. My issue is, I need to run my package against various database(by just pointing the database connection details) without changing anything in the package.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Manish

Y'all:I am needing some way, in the SQL Server dialect of SQL, to escape unicodecode points that are embedded within an nvarchar string in a SQL script,e.g. in Java I can do:String str = "This is au1245 test.";in Oracle's SQL dialect, it appears that I can accomplish the same thing:INSERT INTO TEST_TABLE (TEST_COLUMN) VALUES ('This is a1245 test.");I've googled and researched through the MSDN, and haven't discovered asimilar construct in SQL Server. I am already aware of the UNISTR()function, and the NCHAR() function, but those aren't going to work well ifthere are more than a few international characters embedded within astring.Does anyone have a better suggestion?Thanks muchly!GRB-----------------------------------------------------------------------Greg R.

MS SQL 2000. Does anyone know how to find all rows where an nvarchar column contains a specific unicode character? Is it possible without creating a user defined function? Here's the issue. I have a table Expression (ExpID, ExpText) with values like 'x < 100' and 'y ≤ 200'. where the second example contains Unicode character 8804 [that is, nchar(8804)]. Because it's unicode, I don't seem to be able to search for it with LIKE or PATINDEX. These fail:
SELECT * FROM Expression WHERE ExpText LIKE '%≤%' -- no recordsSELECT * FROM Expression WHERE PATINDEX('%≤%', ExpText) -- no records
However, SELECT PATINDEX('%≤%', 'y ≤ 200') will return 3.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Here is the situation, please let me know if you have any tips:..TXT files in a share at \fooSPROCS run daily parses of many things, including data on that share. Theother day, we encountered rows in the TXT files which looked like:column1Row1data,column2Row1datacolumn1Row2data,column2Row2data...etc..However, column2 was about 6000 bytes of unicode. We are bulk insertinginto a table specifying nvarchar(4000). When it encounters high unicoderows, it throws a truncation error (16).We really need information contained in the first 200 bytes of the string incolumn2. However, the errors are causing the calling SPROC to abort.Please let me know if you have any suggestions on workarounds for thissituation. Ideally, we would only Bulk Insert a sub-section of column2 ifpossible.Thanks!/Ty

I have been racking my brain over this hopefully someone has run into a similar issue. I am attempting to Bulk insert several Unicode (UCS-16BE) data files that are missing their Unicode Signature. If I add a Big-Endian signature (FE FF) I can get the files to load into a table without using a format file, but if I attempt to use a format file I get the following error ( I need to use a format file due to more columns in the actual table than in the file):
Msg 4832, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Bulk load: An unexpected end of file was encountered in the data file.
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".
If I attempt to load without the Unicode signature, with a format file the correct number of characters load into the fields, but the data is all €˜€™s. I have tried various codepages (including 1201 & 1200) and codepage settings and none have any effect on the data that is loaded or not loaded.
Code Using Format File:
BULK INSERT [ARE_Test_Stage].[dbo].LFBK
FROM 'U:ProjectsTempUnicodeTest2 est-w.TXT'
WITH (
DATAFILETYPE = 'widechar',
CODEPAGE = '1201',
MAXERRORS = 2147000000,
FORMATFILE = 'U:ProjectsTempUnicodeTest2FormatFiles est-w_METADATA.fmt',
KEEPNULLS
)
