When I try to do the following SQL statement to select a different column it gives the error below as one is a date and one a number
[I]ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected DATE got NUMBER
Select
CASE WHEN 2=1 THEN DATE+TP_PERIOD/48 ELSE TP_PERIOD END DATETIME,
Is there a way to use TOCHAR or something so I can get either result in one column?
Hi,
I´m exporting an ms-excel file, then I use a lookup transformation to get a field from a SQL Server 2005 table. The Lookup transformation editor, after selecting the table, shows a warning that says:
at least one mapping between a column from available input columns ans a column from available lookup columns must be defined on the columns page.
So I try to make a relationship in the Lookup transformation editor's column tab where I find the Available input columns and the available lookup columns but I get the following error:
The following columns cannot be mapped:
[Department, DEP_CLEGALCODE]
One or more columns do not have supported data types, or their data types do not match.
The field in SLQ Server is varchar(10) and the input field is a derived column transformation; I have tried different Data Types but I always have the same error.
The DataFlow is: ExcelSource --> Derived Column --> Lookup --> Flat file destination
thanks.
We have a table in DB2, which has a column1 (Data type: - decimal (10, 0)) and column2 (Data type: - varchar (70)), I need to concatenate these two columns into one while displaying output
Procedure I followed:--
Tried to convert column1 to varchar using cast function so that I could concatenate both columns. However I ended up in getting the following error message
DB2 SQL error: SQLCODE: -461, SQLSTATE: 42846, SQLERRMC: SYSIBM.DECIMAL; SYSIBM.VARCHAR
Message: A value with data type "SYSIBM.DECIMAL" cannot be CAST to type "SYSIBM.VARCHAR".
Please do let me know where I went wrong
Thanks

I am using Visual Web Developer Express 2005 as a test environment. I have it connected to a SQL 2000 server. I would like to use a Select Case Statement with the name of a column from a SQL Query as the Case Trigger. Assuming the SQLDataSource is named tCOTSSoftware and the column I want to use is Type, it would look like the following in classic ASP:
Select Case tCOTSSoftware("Type")
Case 1
execute an SQL Update Command
Case 2
execute a different SQL Update Command
End Select
What would a comparable ASP.Net (Visual Basic) statement look like? How would I access the column name used in the SQLDataSource?
I would like to create a table which can store a VLOB or BLOB.. which are pictures and images.. How do I insert them into the database and how do I select them into the data base for playing in a media player

I have a business need to create a report by query data from a MS SQL 2008 database and display the result to the users on a web page. The report initially has 6 columns of data and 2 out of 6 have JSON data so the users request to have those 2 JSON columns parse into 15 additional columns (first JSON column has 8 key/value pairs and the second JSON column has 7 key/value pairs). Here what I have done so far:
I found a table value function (fnSplitJson2) from this link [URL]. Using this function I can parse a column of JSON data into a table. So when I use the function above against the first column (with JSON data) in my query (with CROSS APPLY) I got the right data back the but I got 8 additional rows of each of the row in my table. The reason for this side effect is because the function returned a table of 8 row (8 key/value pairs) for each json string data that it parsed.
1. First question: How do I modify my current query (see below) so that for each row in my table i got back one row with 19 columns.
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B
If updated my query (see below)Â and call the function twice within the CROSS APPLY clause I got this error: "The multi-part identifier "A.ITEM6" could be be bound.
2. My second question: How to i get around this error?
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*, C.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B, Â fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM6,NULL) C

Hi,
I'm wondering, why CLR user-defined-types are case-sensitive in T-SQL?
When I create an udt with vb.net, e.g. udtPoint with properties X and Y and a method ToString(), I have to write udtPoint.X ..., udtPoint.x would raise an error. udtPoint.tostring() isn't working, too.
I like vb, because you don't have to remember whether syntax is upper or lower case. Same is with T-SQL, there's no difference between select * from table and Select * FROM Table. Intellisense would by great, but is not yet implemented .
I'd like to put this topic under suggestions (in my opinon it's a bug), what do you think about it?
Many thanks for your answers!
Suppose you have table with many columns and often you need data from first 15 or 20 columns. In that case you have to specify all the columns in your select statement. This procedure will select top N columns you want. All you have to do is to supply table name and number of columns you want
Here is the procedure
Create procedure TopNcolumns (@tableName varchar(100),@n int)
as
Declare @s varchar(2000)
set @s=''
If exists(Select * from information_Schema.tables where table_name=@tablename and table_type='Base Table')
Begin
If @n>=0
Begin
set rowcount @n
Select @s=@s+','+ column_name from information_schema.columns
where table_name=@tablename order by ordinal_position
Set rowcount 0
Set @s=substring(@s,2,len(@s)-1)
Exec('Select '+@s+' from '+@tablename)
End
else
Select 'Negative values are not allowed' as Error
End
else
Select 'Table '+@tableName+' does not exist' as Error

I am having a very wierd issue regarding a DB2 sql query. I need to get data from Db2 and insert into our sql server database. Using data flow task, to get data I am using the data reader source. COnnection is ado.netodbc connection.
THis sql query also has some comments in it.
The first wierd thing is...
1. On Development server, when I run this query manually, meaning using toad, winsql (connection to the db2 database), the query runs fine. Brings back approx 667 rows which is correct. ON the same server when I try to run this query, via a SSIS pkg, data flow task, using data reader source, gives me error on those comments that exist in that query. But if I run the same SSIS pkg on another server (Integration server). It runs fine. The same pkg also runs fine if I run it from my machine. SO What is different on my Dev server compared to the Integration server.
2. Say if I take those comments out from the sql query, then try to run the ssis pkg. The query is stuck at the first record and goes in an infinite loop mode. though my query is not a procedure, it is just a sql statement. But this ssis pkg with the query runs absolutly fine on the other server. I aslo tried using the other types of connection and ole db source but still the same problem on the Dev server.
What do I need to look for that is so different on the dev server compare to the INT server. I also checked the version on both these server for Visual Studio 2005(by going to About Microsoft Visual Studio), it is the same.
This is what I have on both the servers....

High all,
I have a very simple SSIS package that is moving data from a DB2 database to a Teradata box. I've run it around 10 times, twice it pushed data over, the balance of the time, it executes with no error, but moves nothing over. In the "incomplete" runs, a command line box pops up for half a second, then the package ends.
Does anyone have ideas as to why this behavior is occurring?
Thanks,

View 0 Replies View Related I am getting inconsistent results when BULK INSERTING data from a tab-delimited text file. As part of my testing, I run the same code on the same file again and again, and I get different results every time! I get this on SQL 2005 and SQL 2012 R2.We have an application that imports data from a spreadsheet. The sheet contains section headers with account numbers and detail rows with transactions by date:
AAAA.1234 /* (account number)*/
1/1/2015Â Â Â Â Â $150Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â First Transaction
1/3/2015Â Â Â Â Â $24.233Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Second Transaction
BBBB.5678
1/1/2015Â Â Â Â Â $350Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Third Transaction
1/3/2015Â Â Â Â Â $24.233Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Fourth Transaction
My Import program saves this spreadsheet at tab-delimited text, then I use BULK INSERT to bring the data into a generic table full of varchar(255) fields. There are about 90,000 rows in each day's data; after the BULK INSERT about half of them are removed for various reasons. Next I add a RowID column to the table with the IDENTITY (1,1) property. This gives my raw data unique row numbers.
I then run a routine that converts and copies those records into another holding table that's a copy of the final destination table. That routine parses though the data, assigning the account number in the section header to each detail row. It ends up looking like this:
AAAA.1234Â Â Â Â 1/1/2015Â Â Â Â Â $150Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â First Purchase
AAAA.1234Â Â Â Â 1/3/2015Â Â Â Â Â $24.233Â Â Â Â Â Second Purchase
BBBB.5678Â Â Â Â 1/1/2015Â Â Â Â Â $350Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Third Purchase
BBBB.5678Â Â Â Â 1/3/2015Â Â Â Â Â $24.233Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Fourth Purchase
My technique: I use a cursor to get the starting RowID for each Account Number: I then use the upper and lower RowIDs to do an INSERT into the final table. The query looks like this:
SELECT RowID, SUBSTRING(RowHeader, 6,4) + '.UBC1' AS AccountNumber
FROM Â GenericTable
WHERE RowHeader LIKE '____.____%'
Results look like this:
But every time I run the routine, I get different numbers! my results are not accurate. I get inconsistent results EVERY TIME.Here is my code, with table, field and account names changed for business confidentiality.This is a high profile project at my company;
TRUNCATE TABLE GenericImportTable;

Will writes "I have an employees table, which gives all emp. ids. I have a second table, time_log with tasks each employee has logged:

===================================
and a 3rd table - a pivot table with a single column named "i" containing consecutive integers from 0 - 1000
I need to know for each date in a series, e.g seven consecutive days, how much time each has logged. easy if everyone has logged a task for every day, but I need to include every day where they have not logged a task.
so, a cartesian join on all the dates in a series(produced using dateadd on p.i and the pivot table)
SELECT dateadd('d',p.i, #02/19/2007#), e.empID
FROM pivot1 p, employees e
WHERE i<no_dates
However I need to do a left join with time log where the date and employee ids are the same, and I have summed the durations for each date. The following query does this, but does not include dates and times where nothing has been logged.
SELECT empID, log_date, sum(duration)
FROM time_log
GROUP BY empEIN, log_date
GIVING, EVENTUALLY, ALL DATES AND EMPIDS AND THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF TIME THEY HAVE LOGGED FOR EACH DAY."

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to do a query where I need to use as little C# as possible to build my gridview. Basically I have a column called statusID. There are about 15 options for this column but I only want to count certain ones. I want to count when statusID = 3 and output that into a column called "fullUnitsUsed" but when the value is 4 or > 13 I want it to count and put the result into a column called "halfUnitsUsed". I also want it to count based on the month. To accomplish this I have used CASE and GROUP BY. This has worked to some extent. Currently if I COUNT for one month I get the correct number of fullUnitsUsed and halfUnitsUsed used for January. Unfortunately the query returns 2 records for the month. The first one has a value for fullUnitsUsed and halfUnitsUsed is NULL, the second record has fullUnitsUsed as NULL and halfUnitsUsed has the correct value. I was hoping to output one record where both fullUnitsUsed and halfUnitsUsed have data. My other problem is that if I test for the entire year (which is what this query is supposed to do) there are 5 records returned for each month, 3 of the records have fullUnitsUsed and halfUnitsUsed both as NULL and for the other 2, one has fullUnitsUsed with data and the other has halfUnitsUsed with data and the other column in both records is NULL. The values for fullUnitsUsed and halfUnitsUsed are counted for the entire year as well, which I only want it to count based on each month. Below is my query, any suggestions about how to approach this will be greatly appreciated. If any clarification is needed please let me know. Again if I could get this to work completely with SQL and not need to use any more C# than I have to it would be preferable.
SELECT People.lastName + ', ' + People.firstName AS fullName, Property.Name, NYSDDSORegion.Description, OpenDays.[month], OpenDays.maxOpenDays,CASE Attend.statusID
WHEN 3 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
END AS fullUnitsUsed,CASE Attend.statusID
WHEN 4 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
WHEN 14 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
WHEN 15 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
WHEN 16 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
WHEN 17 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
WHEN 18 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
WHEN 19 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
WHEN 20 THEN COUNT(Attend.statusID)
END AS halfUnitsUsed
FROM Attend INNER JOIN People ON Attend.personID = People.personID
INNER JOIN Property ON Attend.propertyID = Property.propertyID
INNER JOIN NYSDDSORegion ON Property.RegionID = NYSDDSORegion.RegionID
CROSS JOIN OpenDays
WHERE (Attend.attendDate BETWEEN '1/1/2007' AND '12/31/2007')
GROUP BY Property.Name, People.lastName, NYSDDSORegion.Description, People.firstName, OpenDays.monthID, OpenDays.[month], OpenDays.maxOpenDays, Attend.statusID
ORDER BY Property.Name, fullName, NYSDDSORegion.Description

Hi, all here,
I am having a question-is it possible to update several columns using CASE expression in SQL language? like if I wanna set each CASE for each column.
Thanks a lot in advance for any help and guidance.
I am writing a fairly simple sql, and I would like to write something like
Code Snippet
select
firstname as firstname,
case
when firstname = 'Peter' then 'yes'
else
'no'
end as whatever
from
MyTable
where
whatever = 'yes'
And this should then select out the rows where column number 2 is 'yes'.
It doesn't work, and I have to copy the firstname = 'Peter' into the where clause.
But why?
Is it possible to combine a CASE statement with two different columns to retrieve data into one result column? In one column it has multiple JobCode, but this needs to be divided. The only way I can see to do this is take the data from another column to get the results.Ex. JobCode - has one code for several job descriptions (there are about 30), but all within this code cannot have the same level of access. So I need to divide them out, and put them in one column for AccessLevel.Â
 JobTitle - has one code for one job, (but there are over 100).I want to pull from both columns to get the results I need to assign appropriate access level in one column.
Case JobCode    (they all have same job code, but everyone in this job code should not have same access)
When '45' Then '1' (Principal, Asst. Prin, or any Administrator, Counselors)
When '25' Then '2' (this could be teacher, etc. )     Â
Case JobTitle  (this is how access should be)
       When '12345' Then '1' (this is Administration only)Â
[code]....
I am trying to find a reference for a client that lists the fields available to be substituted into a data driven subscription from the query, along with the expected data types.  For example, the field on whether or not to include a link to the report seems to be expecting a bit data type.I have searched and can't seem to find anything.  I guess I could walk through the interface and try different data types, but if  a list exists, that would be better.Â
