PACKAGE ENCODING
Jan 26, 2007
Hi, a new (little..) problem with xml source.
I have to import large xml file in sql server and I use data transfer task and xml source.
The xml file are generated without specifing any encoding, and so I obtain many character error if i don't change the encoding.
When i put "by hand" (with a xml editor) in the xml file this encoding <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO8859-1"?>, the SSIS task works perfectly without any error.
So, i'm looking for a way to use this encoding without editing xml file (more than 500 mb...). the way that i can imagine are:
1) change the package encoding (but I haven't find this kind of settings)
2) change the xml source encoding (but I haven't find this kind of settings)
3) change the console chcp (normally i have 850, i have tested 1252 but without any success)
4) make a xml trasformation (but i don't know the best way); I've tried with XML task without any success...
could anybody help me?
thank you in advance

Hi,
I am getting this error: {"XML parsing: line 1, character 43, unable to switch the encoding"} System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException when I run the code below.
I know it is caused by the fact that the encoding of the XML file I'm trying to insert is not utf-16, but rather utf-8. However I would like to be able to enter any encoding. Is this possible?
If not is there a way to convert the encoding before I insert? Or any other ideas anyone might have. Thanks!
XmlDataSource xds = new XmlDataSource();

The problem is: reading data with ADO is OK (Lithuanian), but when I try to write, most of national encoding goes to hell (plain ascii). What's wrong with it? I see no option to set code page.

The following TSQL code will take a character string and perform the encoding that is necessary to generate a BARCODE 128 formatted string to be used with a BARCODE 128 font.declare @myString varchar(255)
select @myString = 'BarCode 1'
-- Define the string of characters that we'll need to pull the reference of
declare @asciiString varchar(255)
select @asciiString = ' !"#$%&''()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~'
select @asciiString = @asciiString + char(195) -- 0xC3
select @asciiString = @asciiString + char(196) -- 0xC4
select @asciiString = @asciiString + char(197) -- 0xC5
select @asciiString = @asciiString + char(198) -- 0xC6
select @asciiString = @asciiString + char(199) -- 0xC7
select @asciiString = @asciiString + char(200) -- 0xC8
select @asciiString = @asciiString + char(201) -- 0xC9
select @asciiString = @asciiString + char(202) -- 0xCA
-- Define the stop and start characters
declare @stopchar char(1)
declare @startchar char(1)
declare @spacechar char(1)
select @stopchar = char(206) -- 0xCE
select @startchar = char(204) -- 0xCC
select @spacechar = char(194) -- 0xC2
-- Define the final holding place of our output string
declare @finalArray varchar(255)
-- Define the variables that we'll need to be using
declare @checksumTotal int
declare @checksum int
select @checksumTotal = 104;
select @checksum = 0;
-- Start building our output
select @finalArray = @startchar
-- Loop through our input variable and start pulling out stuff
declare @position int
declare @thisChar char(1)
select @position = 1
while @position <= len(@myString)
begin
select @thisChar = substring(@myString, @position, 1)
select @checksumTotal = @checksumTotal + (@position * (ascii(@thischar)-32))
select @finalArray = @finalArray + @thisChar
select @position = @position + 1
end -- We've gone past the length now
-- Now we need to figure out and add the checksum character
select @checksum = @checksumTotal % 103
if @checksum = 0
select @finalArray = @finalArray + @spacechar
else
-- Barcorde array assumes 0 as initial offset so we need to add 1 to checksum
select @finalArray = @finalArray + substring(@asciiString, @checksum+1, 1)
-- Now we append the stop character
select @finalArray = @finalArray + @stopchar
-- The @final Array represents the barcode encoded string
select @finalArray
Hope it helps,
Dalton

Hi
I have a user who is using data from my database for a webportal. One of my tables had a field that was type NText. The technology he is using couldn't cope with NText so i changed the data type to nvarchar instead. The user is now getting some superfluous characters coming back as part of the data in the field e.g. '12
' where a space appears if looking at the data through something like Query Analyser. He was asking if I could change the character encoding to Unicode.
I thought that datatypes like Nvarchar were unicode anyway but I guess the fact that I changed the type might mean that I need to explicitly declare it as unicode. Does anyone know if this is the case?
thanks.

Hi!
I'm pretty new in SQL and I'm kinda confused with the concept of encoding in SQL. I tried to read several article but there are still things that I don't understand.
I have a table with two columns and these column contain english and chinese character.
CREATE TABLE Names
(FirstName NVARCHAR (50),
LastName NVARCHAR (50));
The collation for both column is Latin1_General_BIN
My question is
1. Does all data that is saved in nvarchar column have the same encoding type which is UCS-2?
2. If a client application input a chinese character into the database table, what is the encoding type of that data? Is it UCS-2?
3. If a client application successfully enter chinese characters into database table and i want to display those chinese characters saved in the database into a web page, do i need to convert those chinese character from UCS-2 (Unicode) into Big-5 encoding?
Thanks

Hi all,I have an issue on querying against UTF-16 encoded characters inSQL2000 database: For example the "López" is saved into database as"López" (due to the UTF-16 encoding); somehow, when I query datawith conditions of "like 'lop%'" or "like 'Lóp%'", the row of Lópezwould not return.NOTE: the accent insensitive collation can not help in this case.Thank you,Albion(052X)

I've seen a dump of the TDS traffic going from my webserver to the SQLServer database and it seems encoded in Unicode (it has two bytes perchar). Seems it would have a huge impact on performance if ittravelled in one byte. Why might this be?rj

I'm storing data in SQL Server 2005 Express ntext fields. I've added <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> to the Master Page, but apostrophes and other characters are appearing incorrectly in the browser. For example, apostrophes are appearing as Æ. They seem to have changed to this when I upsized from Access to SQL Server (so I have Æ in the db field).The back-end of the site is still in classic asp, where I can set the CodePage to 65001 and the CharSet to utf-8, and everything appears fine there. What can I change in the ASPX to get characters to display correctly?

Hello,I faced a problem while reading some strings from the database (SQL 2005). Some letters are encoded with html codes making the sorting really difficult. I tried to use IComparer objects with different CultureInfo information, but it doesn't do any good.I am quite new to the web development, so I don't really have any clue if there is a recommended and clean way of solving this problem. It could be that it's something really simple, but I only came up with an idea of search and replace in all strings. If possible, I would like to omit this. :) If not, please let me know.Thanks in advance.

I have an automated system, which keeps on collecting data and put them in a datafile with data delimited by tabs. This datafile will be sent to OPENROWSET and data gets inserted into the database. Recently I observed a situation in which a character(é) gets inserted as two characters(é) adn that is creating lot of problems. I was able to observe, the character é in UTF-8 gets changed to é in UTF-7 format.
This strange situation comes while inserted data into an nvarchar field. In the format(.fmt) file, which will be sent as one of the arguments to OPENROWSET, this field is specified as "SQLCHAR" datatype with collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.
My questions are,
1) In which codeset OPENROWSET reads the datafile? Is there any way to specify to OPENROWSET to read in a specific format(i.e. as Unicode data or non-unicode data etc.)?
2) Can we specify datatype as "SQLCHAR" and collation type as "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS", in format file, for unicode characters? If this is wrong,what is the alternate for Unicode characters?
3) Is there any other place the problem can be?
Thanks in advance.

I wrote a CLR function, which is receiving some XML parameters. In certein situations it gives me the following error message:

A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user-defined routine or aggregate "svmScale":

</d></root>'
set @data = dbo.svmScale(@data, 1, 0.5, 0.5)
If I cahnage one of the zeros in the given tag, the error message disappears. If i cut the given tag, the error message disappears. If I cut the given tag, and then paste the previous one in place of it, the error message APPEARS. So my conclusion is, that any tag can be wrong on a specific position in the XML. This makes me wonder.
Another wonderfull thing is, that if I take this CLR function, and the same TSQL code, and I do run it on my notbook with my SQL Express, no error message. But if I try to use it on the server, with SQL 2005 it drops me this error message. The resulting XML is coming from an SELECT FOR XML AUTO, so i suspect it not having illegal characters inside. This is probably true, becouse the above replace procedure can make the message disapear.

I am trying to do string scrubbing in a sql clr function, including removing certain HTML formatting. I would like to use HtmlDecode method, but it's my understanding that System.Web is not available for Sql Clr (without marking code unsafe - not an option for me as this is for an application we sell externally, and unsafe calls woudl not go over well with customers). Is there any class that IS supported for Sql Clr that exposes this functionality? Thanks.

After generating one of my reports, I process the XML output through an XSLT stylesheet and export it to a text file. The issue is that after the export, the generated output text file begins with the special Byte-Order-Mark marker "EF BB BF" standard to Unicode files encoded in UTF-8, UTF-16 or UTF-32. I have explicitly set the attributes of the xsl output element to <xsl:output encoding="us-ascii" media-type="text/plain" method="text">, but it seems as though those are ignored when the output file is written. I cannot have these characters, because I am generating a fixed-width file for input into a legacy system.
Any suggestions or thoughts on what is causing the BOM to be written to my file, even though I have set the encoding to be different than UTF-8?

Hi,
I have a table column type as nText, however there are some Chinese character stored in that field and it is a messed up as it is not readable.
In my vb.net code, I did Convert to unicode by getting the byte of each character and encode it with UTF8 e.g:
Public Shared Function ConvertToUnicode(ByVal s As String) As String
' Convert To Unicode
Dim MyBytes As Byte() = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(s)
Dim GBencoding As Encoding = System.Text.UTF8Encoding.UTF8
Return GBencoding.GetString(MyBytes)
End Function
This works well but ,the problem is that it slows down the process quite alot, and I wonder are there any text encoding method I can use in SQL that can run when i do the SELECT Statement?
SELECT
Convert(MyNTEXTColumn)
....
something like that?
Thanks.
Jon

declare @test2 as varchar(32)
set @test='today''s problem'
set @test2='my <string> '
select @test as '@attribute' for xml path ('myrow')
select @test2 as '@attribute' for xml path ('myrow')
I want for xml path to correctly encode the single apostrophe as &apos but the single apostrophe doesn't get encoded. In the second example the greater and less than does get encoded.

Hi All,
Not sure if this is the right place to ask but..
Our company has just migrated to 2005 from 2000. I've got Management Studio doing much of what I need it to do from the old enterprise manager (which I wish I could go back to).
My problem is this.
When saving CSV files from a script run inside Management Studio (ad hoc reports, custom queries, etc) the default encoding is to UNICODE. This produces files that excel doesn't handle very well (most of the people I'd be sending the results to would freak out when the CSV file doesn't appear as expected).
I've discovered that I can change the encoding to ANSI when I save the query but as it's a manual process I'm sure I'm going to get tired of it very quickly. I would really like to make ANSI encoding the default.
(at the moment and for the foreseeable future, we don't need the functionality that Unicode provides).
Anyone know how to do this -- I've tried searching the docs without success.
Thanks All,
Charlie.

I have an issue when generating a flat file with SSIS.
Here are the steps:-
1 .Create a a package and Data Flow task in it.
2. In the Data Flow Task, insert an OLE DB Source and a Flat File Destination
3. In the OLE DB Source , specify this query :- "select '000' as [record code]"
4. In the Flat File Desitnation, create a new Flat File Connection specify the path and choose Code Page "65001 (UTF8)"
5. I've specified the Data Type "Unicode String DT_WSTR" in the Advanced property
When I execute the task, I get this error :
[Flat File Destination [16]] Error: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "record code" returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
I've also chosen the data type "Unicode Text Stream DT_NTEXT" and "string [DT_STR]" but I get errors such as :
"The code page on intup column [record code] is 1252 and is required to be 65001."
The Locale I am using is English(US).
Would be grateful if test can be done for all other data types such as int, datetime, float, decimal, uniqueidentifier, etc.

I copied and added an existing package as a new package to a project and have been having trouble with settings reverting to those for the original package after I modify and save the changes for the new package. Sometimes happens with the save itself, other times it happens when I close and re-open the package. Most cases are with connections that revert back to the original file reference, but there are also control flow and data flow elements that keep reverting back to either settings from the original package or defaults that result in the re-opened package being in error. Not sure how to get around this issue short of developing the new package from scratch which I'd rather not do since it is fairly complex. Any help anyone can provide is appreciated. Thanks.

I have a SSIS job, one of the last steps it performs is to execute a SQL 2000 DTS package. This has to be done as a SQL 2000 DTS package as it is performing rebuilds of SQL 2000 Analysis Services dimensions and cubes. We've found that when the DTS fails the SSIS job is happily completing showing as a success, we would prefer to know it went wrong.
As far as I'm aware SSIS merely starts the DTS off and doesn't care about it's result. I've taken a look in to turning on the logging for the execute DTS package and thought that the ExecuteDTS80PackageTaskTaskResult would give me the answer I need...but is merely written to the log not available as an event-handler. It also looks like it is not safe to put a SQL task in as the next item to go look at the SQL 2000 system tables to look at the log for the DTS package as the SSIS documentation warns that the DTS package can continue to run after the execute DTS package task has ended.
Ideally I want any error raised within the DTS package to cascade up to be an error in the SSIS job, I can then handle it appropriately. I cannot find a way to do this. Is there a way?
If not, can anyone suggest how in the remainder of the SSIS tasks I can be sure that the DTS has completed before I start any other tasks that will check for the SQL 2000 log of its execution?

Hi,
I created a package which passes some infornmations( through parameters) to its child package.
I need to do some processing in parent package based on execution status of child package.i.e.
if child fails then some operation and if child succeeds then other operation.
To determine the status of execution of child package I am using two differnt constraint ..one constraint is having value "Success" and other having value "Failure".
My problem is that when child packge is executed successfully the constraint with value = "Success" works properly but when child fails the constraint with value "Failure" does not work.
