Hi i got errro mess "Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function" from this below. Anyone how can give me a hint what cause this, and how i can solve it? if i remove whats whitin thoose [] it works, i dont use [] in the code :) colums: VLF_InfectionDestination is nvarchar 254
SELECT TOP 10 tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName, COUNT(tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName) AS number FROM tb_AVVirusLog INNER JOIN __CustomerMachines002 ON tb_AVVirusLog.CLF_ComputerName = __CustomerMachines002.FalseName WHERE (CONVERT(varchar, tb_AVVirusLog.CLF_LogGenerationTime, 120) BETWEEN @fyear + @fmonth + @fday AND @tyear + @tmonth + @tday) AND (__CustomerMachines002.folder_id = @folderId) [OR (CONVERT(varchar, tb_AVVirusLog.CLF_LogGenerationTime, 120) BETWEEN @fyear + @fmonth + @fday AND @tyear + @tmonth + @tday) AND (tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_InfectionDestination LIKE N'%@%')] GROUP BY tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName HAVING (NOT (tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName LIKE N'cookie')) ORDER BY COUNT(tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName) DESC
I am running SQL 7 Svc Pack 2 on TN 4.0 Svc Pack 6a.
I am getting the following error when opening up a DTS package on my SQL Server from EM on my workstation. If I open it up on the server by using pcanywhere the package opens fine. Ther error is a dialogue box stating:
Package Error
Error Source:Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package Error Description: The Parameter is incorrect.
Has anyone seen this. I get nothing in the event log or SQL logs. I can't seem to figure this one out.
While trying to execute the below query I get an error "Invalid Paramter Binding.
SELECT RELEASE_CYCLES.RCYC_NAME+' : '+ CYCL_FOLD.CF_ITEM_NAME /*Test Set Folder (CYCLE).Name*/ as "Cycle Name : Test Component", SUM(case when t3.status='Passed' then 1 else 0 end) "Passed", SUM(case when t3.status='Failed' then 1 else 0 end) "Failed", SUM(case when t3.status='Not Completed' then 1 else 0 end) "Not Completed", SUM(case when t3.status='No Run' then 1 else 0 end) "No Run", SUM(case when t3.status in ('Passed','Failed','Not Completed','No Run') then 1 else 0 end) "Total",
FYI. Perhaps I missed it on the Fix List, but applying SP3 to my Win2K Professional workstation w/ SQL Server 7 Desktop Edition remedied a chronic error I'd been receiving when trying to open a pre-existing DTS package which resided on other servers. For weeks, no matter what I've tried, I've been getting a message box saying "Invalid Paramter". (I didn't go as far as an uninstall / re-install, but I did about everything short of that.) After applying SP3, the DTS packages open up easily.
I am using a simple procedure to pivot results (found in another forum and adapted it). It is done on SQL Server 2005 server with all service packs. Procedure: ************** ALTER Procedure [dbo].[EthnicityPivot] @StDate as Datetime, @EndDate as Datetime as begin DECLARE @Teams varchar(2000)
truncate table ForEthnicPivot
INSERT INTO ForEthnicPivot SELECT DISTINCT COUNT(ID), Team, Ethnicity FROM dbo._EthnicityByTeamEpisode where Startdate between @StDate and @EndDate GROUP BY Ethnicity, Team
SET @Teams = '' --// Get a list of the pivot columns that are important to you.
SELECT @Teams = @Teams + '[' + Team + '],' FROM (SELECT Distinct Team FROM ForEthnicPivot) Team --// Remove the trailing comma
SET @Teams = LEFT(@Teams, LEN(@Teams)-1) --// Now execute the Select with the PIVOT and dynamically add the list --// of dates for the columns EXEC( 'SELECT * FROM ForEthnicPivot PIVOT (SUM(countID) FOR Team IN (' + @Teams + ')) AS X' ) end ************
I can call the function: exec EthnicityPivot '01/01/2007','09/09/2007'
and it works fine in SQL analyzer, but when I want to use it in Visual Studio in a new report I am getting this error message:
There is an error in the query. Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function. Incorrect syntax near ')'.
The subject pretty much sums the problem up. I am trying to get a database installed on Server 2008 RC0. The public information says SQL 2005 SP2 should work, but I cannot get the base SQL 2005 installed in order to apply the service pack. When I run the installation, I immediately get an error when trying to install the pre-requisites. Specifically, the .NET 2.0 Framework errors with code 87, "invalid parameter".
I have found a couple references to this error code, but nothing to do with Server 2008 and RC0. I have tried using a directory with no spaces, and tried the EXE vs ISO installation, but they everything fails. I don't know if there is a way to bypass the .NET 2.0 Framework install - since it's already on the machine anyway.
An application I developed normally works great, but it seems that when processing a certian record (and none of the others so far), SQL Server throws this error: "Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function."
Private Sub setControls(ByVal dr As SqlDataReader) If (dr.Read()) Then '<--*******problem line*******
The SqlDataReader (orderReader) doesn't blow up or anything until I call .Read() (and, as mentioned, this problem only occurs for one order). What could be happening here?
I'm getting the following error when I try to add a new record to the db:System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Invalid object name 'Pub_Points'. My table is called Pub_Points. I've had an insert working before.This is the SQL string that I'm trying to send:INSERT INTO Pub_Points ('PPName','Encoder_URL','Connect_Type','Archive','Creation_Date') VALUES ('fu','barr','local ','19/26/2005 13:35:27')Yet updating an existing record during the same run works fine:UPDATE Pub_Points SET PPName='foo ', Encoder_URL='bar', Connect_Type='remote ', Archive='0' Where ID='114' So it can't be a problem finding the table itself.Only two things I can see that are different:- the Insert procedure first creates and attaches the formatted date string (which you see already inserted in the Insert query)- the database has an auto-generating key field 'ID' (which you see being referenced in the UPDATE query)but I don't see how either of those things would give me this error.Ideas?
I was working on the MSDN Tutorial "Using XML Data in a Report", Lesson 2: Defining a Report Dataset for an ADO.NET DataSet from a Web Service at the follwoing link http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337489.aspx
When i run the following query, everything goes as expected (i.e. the displayed data is the extracted data from all XML elements and attributes down to the leaf node on the first XML path it finds in the dataset )
We have several databases but one is behaving differently in SQL Query Analyzer. Please assume we have selected the correct db in the the pull-down and assume database name is DB1 and table name is Table1
SELECT * FROM db1.[table1] works fine.
SELECT * FROM [table1] returns "Invalid Object Name Error".
This problem causes some complex queries not to work so I'd like to know if this db has some special setting that requires explicit db name in each query.
We have also tried.. use [db1] SELECT * FROM [table1]
It still gives the same error. Any help would be appreciated. Thansk
I am trying to run a query on my sql server and get the following error message: Â "An error occurred while executing batch. Error message is: The directory name is invalid." Â how do I fix?
I'm having a problem sending the query set as an email text attachment. Test transmissions from Database mail working fine.
Send simple messages with the sp_send_dbmail sproc works fine as well.
It is only when I try and send a query result that things blow up. The query itself is working fine also, so I'm now down to think there is some esoteric problem with the sproc itself.
Surface config features have database mail on, and SQL Mail off.
Msg 14661, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_send_dbmail, Line 476 Query execution failed: Error initializing COM Msg 0, Level 11, State 0, Line 0 A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.
Investigating the sproc itself shows...
Line 476 in the sproc is the beginning of a 'trap' --Raise an error it the query execution fails -- This will only be the case when @append_query_error is set to 0 (false) IF( (@RetErrorMsg IS NOT NULL) AND (@exclude_query_output=0) ) BEGIN RAISERROR(14661, -1, -1, @RetErrorMsg) END
RETURN (@rc) this is the last section of code in the sproc
I've set up DB mail and sent a test e-mail and that comes through fine.
I set up an Operator with email Name: DWhelpton@k-and-s.com;MWeaver@k-and-s.com

When the job runs and fails, I do not get an e-mail and I get the following exception in the db mail log:

Anybody can tell me that what I can do so that i can send mail using the SMTP databasemail account."
I keep getting a generic "Error Sending Mail" error. For testing purposes I am just trying to send using my own email account. What goes in the SMTP Server box in the connection manager? I have tried:
A - the exchange server address (SOMETHING.us.company.com) B - The SMTP properties I see when I look at the properties of my email address: (my.name@abcd.efgh.company.com) C - Just the end portion of the SMTP properties: (abcd.efgh.company.com) D - My email address (my.name@company.com)
I don't know what to enter, or what is giving me such a generic error message.

I have a ##temp table which collects command (varchar(120)) info from sysjobsteps table as follows: command ------------------------------ BACKUP DATABASE FDMS_11111_2 To Backup_11111_2_4Thu with init, name = 'Backup of Job_11111_2_4Thu'

I am real new to SQL Server. We are using SQL Server 2000.
My objective is to get a list of all store procedures for specific database. To accomplish this, I programmatically create a connection to the 'master' database where the sp resides, create a callablestatment for 'sp_stored_procedures' ({call sp_stored_procedures(?,?,?)}). I am passing in null, null, and the database name. When I execute the query, I get the below error:
Code:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Invalid parameter binding(s). at com.microsoft.jdbc.base.BaseExceptions.createException(Unknown Source)
When I made the connection to the master database, I used one of the existing users from the master database.
I looked at the store procedure and verified the sp has 3 input parameter. The first two can be null.
I am not sure why I can not run this sp. I am wondering if we have the database setup properly. Any help or suggestions would be well worth it at this point.
First of all... thanks for a great and interesting product... this is really nice...
I'm working with a winform app and pushing it out via click-once deployment (using the bootstrapper for SQLCompact as well)... the SQL install is fine, however when my app attempts to do anything with the db, i get an error "invalid reconciler parameter" error... some searching seems to indicate that this could be coming from the path being longer than 128chars... howeve, using click once, i'm not certain I can control the deployment location... I'm certain that there is a work around, but not sure what it is... any guidance?
As a note, running the app on the same machine using the output from VS (not installed via ClickOnce but simply running hte exe) works fine...
I have the follwoing stored procedure:ALTER procedure [dbo].[up_GetExecutionContext](@ExecutionGUID int = null) asbeginset nocount ondeclare@s varchar(500)declare @i intset @s = ''select @s = @s + EventType + ','-- Dynamically build the list ofeventsfrom(select distinct top 100 percent [event] as EventTypefrom dbo.PackageStepwhere (@ExecutionGUID is null or PackageStep.packagerunid =@ExecutionGUID)order by 1) as xset @i = len(@s)select case @iwhen 500 then left(@s, @i - 3) + '...'-- If string is too long thenterminate with '...'else left(@s, @i - 1) -- else just remove the final commaend as 'Context'set nocount offend --procedureGOWhen I run this and pass in a value of NULL, things work fine. When Ipass in an actual value (i.e. 15198), I get the following message:Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function.There is no SUBSTRING being used anywhere in the query and thedatatypes look okay to me.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!!
I've set up a data-driven subscription on a report but it's not sending and the error log says it's because:
Default value or value provided for the report parameter 'CSRFaxID' is not a valid value.
For the particular dataset record causing the error I'm passing the value Null to the report parameter. The report parameter CSRFaxID is set up with "Allow Null" and with a default value of Null. I can run the report in my browser with CSRFaxID set to null, but the scheduled subscription is not able to produce the report with the same parameter value. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is and how I can fix it?

Hi, I am new at sql 2000 and 2005, I have created a package in 2005 which I am trying to execute on a daily bases by creating a job. At first because of security issues the job would not execute. Hence, I had to create a credential and a proxy to run the job with sa account. Now it is giving me this error, €œSQLServer Error: 536, Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function. €œ Through research I have no clue as what I need to do, or where to look. The package runs without error when I execute the package itself. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lori
I am creating a membership site. I’d like to be able to have members be able to send customized e-mail to their own individual e-mail list. In creating the mail function (at least just a simplified version so I can get the basics to work), I’m using a select statement that uses @UserName as a parameter in the WHERE clause. I can’t get this work, however, and one of the error messages I get says “must declare the scalar variable '@UserName'". Below is the code I’ve come up with, which may be far off. I'm new to programming so please keep that in mind. I’m using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005. If anyone has any suggestions, I’d really appreciate it!

I am using SSRS 2008 and the reports we have use parameters of type Date/Time. Â The reports work well when the parameter values are entered correctly.
When entering an invalid date format for one of the Date/Time parameters the following error is displayed "The value provided for the report '<parameter name>' is not valid for its type. (rsReportParameterTypeMismatch). Â This seems to be working correctly as well. Â However, when the correct date format is then entered for the report parameter for which the report threw an error, the error persists and the report doesn't run again. Â Setting the parameter to "NULL" doesn't work either.
The only way to get the report to run again is to refresh the entire report. Â Of course, if at that point one has entered a bunch of other parameter values, those values all disappear.
