SQL2005 Data Import Error, Unicode Data Is Odd Byte Size For Column &&<n&&>. Should Be Even Byte Size
Aug 23, 2006
Hi, I have a problem importing data from SQL Server 2000 'text' columns to SQL Server 2005 nvarchar(max) columns. I get the following error when encountering a transfer of any column that matches the above.
The error is copied below,
Any help on this greatly appreciated...

Hello,
I need some help working with CLR UDTs. I have created two UDTs called trajectory and point. Each trajectory consists of a list of points. Each point consists of three members : lon( type double), lat( type double) and datetime.
I have written my own IBinarySerialize.Write method for the trajectory type which is the following:
Dim maxSize As Integer = 4000
Dim value As String = ""
Dim paddedvalue As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim pt As Point
For i = 0 To point_list.Count - 1
pt = point_list.Item(i)
If i = 0 Then
value = value & pt.X & "|" & pt.Y & "|" & pt.D
Else
value = value & ">" & pt.X & "|" & pt.Y & "|" & pt.D
End If
Next
paddedvalue = value.PadRight(maxSize, ControlChars.NullChar)
For i = 0 To paddedvalue.Length - 1 Step 1
w.Write(paddedvalue(i))
Next
If I try to store 225 points for a trajectory then the following error occurs:
System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlTypeException: The buffer is insufficient. Read or write operation failed.
Why is that happening? The limit size for a UDT is 8000bytes. Each point needs 24Bytes (2*SizeOf(double) + sizeOf(Datetime)).
Please help

Hi,I'm using c# with a tableadapter to call stored procedures. I'm running into a problem where if I have over a certain byte size or number of parameters being passed into my stored proc I get an exception that reads: "Cannot evaluate expression because a thread is stopped at a point where garbage collection is impossible, possibly because the code is optimized." If I remove one parameter, the problem goes away. Has anyone run into this before? Thanks,Mark

I need find out the number of columns in flat file before i process that particular file.
I have file name in @filename variable and file path is @filepath variable.
But do not not that how i will check the column name in before i will process that file.
@filePath = C:DatabaseSourceFilesCAHCVSSourceFiles
And I am using for each loop container to read the file one by one and put the file name in @filename variable.
and my file name like
Product_20120607060930.txt
Product_20130708060930.txt
My file structure is:
ID,Name,City,Country,Phone
1,Riya,Pune,India,454564
2,Jiya,New Jersey,India,454564
3,Riya,St Louis,USA,454564
4,Riya,Belleville,USA,454564
5,Riya,Miami,USA,454564
Now what i have to do is i need to make sure that ID,Name,City,County,Phone is there in flat file. if it is not there then i have to send mail to client saying that file is not valid.
Let me know how i will do it.I need to also calculate the size of flat file.

Hi,
I have a text file (5 MB). It appears as a single line in a text editor. But actually it has records of 1500 byte length each.
I want to strip it down to 1500 byte records. So 1500*3500 = 5 MB (approx). The record size is always 1500 bytes.
Does anyone have a script that I can run on this file to achieve this break.
Thanks

Hi, I'm a bit new to DTS but the problem I have encountered relates to importing a text file. On occasion the file is zero bytes which causes an error in DTS. I have added some VBScript to the workflow to check the filesize. If size > 0 then I set Main = DTSStepScriptResult_ExecuteTask otherwise Main = DTSStepScriptResult_DontExecuteTask. This all works fine except that when the file is 0 the dependent process that is waiting for completion/success does not run, presumably because the task was not run (as reqd). I have tried setting the status rather the DontExecuteTask but then the task runs anyway creating the error. Anyonw know how to get this to work or how to get around the problem?
regards
Ken

Hi,
I’m attempting to use DTS to import data from a Memo field in MS Access (Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider) into a SQL Server nvarchar(4000) field. Unfortunately, I’m getting the following error message:
Error at Source for Row number 30. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1.
Data for source column 2 (‘Html’) is too large for the specified buffer size.
I also get this error message when attempting to import the same data from Excel.
Per the MS Knowledgebase article located at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=281517, I changed the registry property indicated to 0. This modification did not help.
Per suggestions in other SQL Server forums, I moved the offending row from row number 30 to row number 1. This change only resulted in the same error message, but with the row number indicated as “Row number 1�. (Incidentally, the data in this field is greater than 255 characters in every row, so the cause described in the Knowledgebase article doesn’t seem to be my problem).
You might also like to know that the data in the Access table was exported into this table from a SQL Server nvarchar(4000) field.
Does anybody know what might trigger this error message other than the data being less than 255 characters in the first eight rows (as described in the KB article)?
I’ve hit a brick wall, so I’d appreciate any insight.Thanks in advance!

I'm having trouble adding a 4-byte integer with an 8-byte integer. Here's what I'm doing:
Column Name: BIG_ID
Derived Column: < add as new column >
Expression: (DT_I8)[ID] + 840230000538058
Data Type: eight-byte signed integer {DT_I8]
The error I get:
The literal 840230000538058 is too large to fit into type DT_I4. The magnitude of the literal overflows the type.
Then I try the expression:
(DT_I8)[ID] + (DT_I8)840230000538058
and
[ID] + 840230000538058
and get the same error.
What am I doing wrong? Is it possible to add 2 8-byte integers in regular expression? Why does it still think the literal is DT_I4?
Thanks,
Michael

I want to know encrypted data's size for designing database field size.
For example, cardnumber varchar(20) Encrypted by Triple_DES and PassPhrase, How match size does need to encrypted data store field.
I think the size does not depend to PassPhrase char length.

Just wanted to know what is a general rule of thumb when determining log file space against a database's data file.We allow our data file for our database to grow 10%, unlimited. We do not allow our log file to autogrow due to a specific and poorly written process (which we are in a three month process of remove) that can balloon the log file size.Should it be 10% of the Data file, i.e. if the Date file size is 800MB the log file should be 8MB?I realize there are a myraid of factors that go against file size but a general starting point would be nice.ThanksJeff--Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.com

Using C#, SQL Server 2005, ASP.NET 2, in a web app, I've tried removing the size from parameters of type NCHAR, NVARCHAR, and VARCHAR. I'd rather just send a string and let the size of the parameter in the SP truncate any extra chars if need be. I began getting the error below, and eventually realized it happened only with output parameters, as in the code snippet below.String[3]: the Size property has an invalid size of 0. par = new SqlParameter("@BusinessEntity", SqlDbType.NVarChar); par.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output; cmd.Parameters.Add(par); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();What's the logic behind this? Is there any way around it other than either finding out what the size should be, or assigning a size larger than would ever be needed? ThanksMike Thomas

Greetings:
I have a database that is 1.7terabyte in size with 136gb free and throws a "transport level error" telling me to discard the results when I run dbccshrinkfile ('DBNAME', size). I have tried various increments of size, from truncateonly to 1MB below its current value, and nothing works. I have tried to detach and reattach the db, restart the service, restart the server, and none have provided a solution. Any ideas?
Regards,
Derek

Hi people,I have a little problem with this!There are some variables in C# code: int personID = 10;
string personName = "Tom";
System.IO.BinaryReader reader = new System.IO.BinaryReader(FileUploadPersonPhoto.PostedFile.InputStream);
byte[] personPhoto = reader.ReadBytes(FileUploadPersonPhoto.PostedFile.ContentLength); After that, there is a SQL query: string query = "INSERT INTO PersonTable (PersonID, PersonName, PersonPhoto) VALUES ("
+ personID + ", '" + personName + "', " + personPhoto + ")"; In Debug mode, value of the query is "INSERT INTO PersonTable (PersonID, PersonName, PersonPhoto) VALUES (10, 'Tom', System.Byte[])" and it does not work! Is there any prefix or something else that I should put and make it work?Thank you in advance!P.S. Do not want to use sql parameters at this piont!

I have a binary column with length 20 in SQL server table. I store dynamically C# byte[] value range from 0 to 19. So for example, If I store length of 16 and when I try to retrive it back into byte [] in C# it returns whole length 20. When I see in debug it has value from 0 to 15 which I want to use but from 16 to 19 is zero. How can I get just length value which I stored.
I use DataRow to get whole row and from the row object I extract byte [] based on column name.
Thank you in advance....

I have a bigint column called "MillisecondsSince1970" that I need to convert to a date - SSIS is erroring out when I use DATEADD with the 8 byte int (if I use 4 byte it works but the column is bigger than 4 byte). The error is really lame:
[Derived Column [79]] Error: The "component "Derived Column" (79)" failed because error code 0xC0049067 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "Date" (100)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
Anyone have a way around it... a VB.NET equivalent of DATEADD or something else I can do?

I have a report where in I have a combination of matrix ,table data regions.
The problem what I am facing is that the data tables don't remain fixed in their position and they tend to move down.
E.g. table 1 and table 2Â are on the same page in design time side by side (right and left)however during the runtime the table1 is pushed down and table2 is at its position .
Now how can I keep them all fixed in their same position. Most of the tables have fixed size rows and some who have high size of rows have been put at the end . What settings we can set?

Experts,
i have trouble while insert/update a field which contains double-byte characters (Chinese Traditional).
NO PROBLEM if i m using Enterprise Manager to view/edit the data. They are retrieved properly in the following:
(1) Enterprise Manager
(2) Query Analyzer
(3) Visual Basic
(4) Command prompt isql
EACH of the Chinese words are become a qustion mark '?' if the UPDATE SQL or stored procedure executed in the following:
(2) Query Analyzer
(3) Visual Basic
WHILE (4) Command prompt isql does not have the problem for the same UPDATE SQL and stored procedure.

I want to store some double byte characters in a table. Originally I planed to change all data type of fields which will store double bytes from VARCHAR() to NVARCHAR(). But i just found out we have no problem to pull and store foreign content(double byte characters) in fields with VARCHAR type( the content is showing correct after stored in database)
my question is : if VARCHAR can handle double byte character, what's the point of using NVARCHAR to store unicode character? any advice is appreciated.

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows if you can create a certificate from a byte[]. For example, you can create an assembly using CREATE ASSEMBLY FROM 0x...; specifying the hex representation of it - can you do the same with a certificate? This means that you don't need to save the file to disk before loading it into the database.
Cheers,
Adam

I've created a DTS package -- that uses a query to export to a .txt file. My question is -- if the results of this query are zero (no results returned within the package ) -- how can I tell the package not to export a zero byte file. Any thoughts on that? Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
