String Data, Length Mismatch When Using Linked Server
Oct 16, 2007
I have a sp which works fine from my local database.
I move the procedure to a different database and modify it to access my data via linked server and I get the following:
provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "Production" returned message "String data, length mismatch".
Msg 7421, Level 16, State 2, Line 27
Cannot fetch the rowset from OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "Production". .
Now I've seen references to this error message for ODBC, but as I said above, the same SP works fine if it goes against local data views. I am working with rather long concatenated strings using nvarchar(max) as the data type.
I've tried cast() on just about everything to no avail.
I have one column called ORGNAME NVarchar(34). There are two records which has the same value stored in that column"Mobile Payment Finland", in both records there are no spaces at start or end position, which mean both records are exactly same. But when i run
SELECT LEN(ORGNAME ) from table
it gives, 34 for first record and 22 for the second record. I couldnt understand what could be the exact problem.
If i use SELECT DATALENGTH(ORGNAME ) from table then i get 68 and 44
I am trying to use DTC to import about 500 records from an Excelsheet to an SQL database.
Some fields contain strings with a length of about 1700 characters.
When i'm trying to execute the DTC generated code it is giving an error and saying that the maximum string length of 255 has been reached. Althoug the column in the database is defined as nchar(1750).
I'm running into this error message when passing in a few records in particular to a function, the only difference I could find is that these recods have about 60k characters on the field that I'm passing to a function.
is there a max lenght for passing to a function?
select function ( field) as results
It's been working fine until today and all of the related fields are declared as nvarchar(max)
For those of you who would like to reference my exact issue, I'm dealing with the RSExecution SSIS package at the "Update Parameters" data flow task, at the Script Component.
The script tries to split parameter data into name and value. Unfortunately, I have several reports that are passing parameters that are very large. One example has over 65,000 characters all in the normal "¶mname=value&parm2=value..." format.
The code in the script works fine until it gets to one of these very large parameter sets. I have figured out what is causing the issue. Here's some code:
Dim paramBlob as Byte() paramBlob = Row.BlobColumn.GetBlobData(0, Row.BlobColumn.Length)
The second parameter of the .GetBlobData function takes an INTEGER as its count! Therefore, no matter what kind of datatype I pass to the string that the script will later split, it will be limited to 32767 characters.
THIS IS A PROBLEM!!!
Does anyone know a workaround for this issue? I need all of the parameter data to be reported, and I would hate to have to skip over rows like this. Also, if I'm missing something, please fill me in!

Zero Length Strings Showing up as a Space in Views linked in Access
I have code being converted from a SQL 6.5 DB to SQL 7; SQL 7 does not concantenate NULLS like in 6.5, so i have replaced all occurances of concantenated NULLs with zero-length strings (''s); in SQL, the view displays the zero-length strings properly, but when i view the linked view in Access97, the zero-length strings are displayed as spaces; is this a SQL problem or an Access Problem? Is there a solution?
Example of display: 10132 Hampton, VA: A. Deepak Publishing
SELECT PublisherID, Info = CASE WHEN City IS NOT NULL THEN City + CASE WHEN State IS NOT NULL THEN ', ' + State ELSE '' END + ': ' ELSE '' END + Publisher FROM tblLibraryPublishers
When view is linked in Access97, the display will be: 10132 Hampton, VA : A. Deepak Publishing (this spacing can produce a number of lookup/search problems if only the Publisher name is displayed because a space is added to the beginning of the Publisher name)
insert into price_list(price_list, price_list_note) values('MDC2 Close','This price list represents all close prices sent electronically by the vendor (FT InteractiveData ("IC")) for all US Debt securities. IDC data can be looked up through the website or through a Geneva price query');
However the price_list_note data gets truncated. Only first half gets inserted into the database.
Why is this?
I'm using Data Type Varchar with Length=8000 Also tried text(16)
I have written a stored proc that selects data from this table: A1 AA A2 BB B1 AAA B2 BBB
and puts it another table in this manner: A1 AA BB A2 AA BB B1 AAA BBB B2 AAA BBB
In short, I wanted to concatenate data in the second column.
My question is for some reason, SQL Server is limiting the length of the string to only 256 characters, even though I have defined the local variables in the storeds proc as varchar(1000) and the table has that field defined as text.
I need to write a query that tells me which string values are empty orblank in a table.Is it possible to return the length of the string contained in characterfield?
I create a dataset from a sqlce 3.5 database (I drag-dropped the tables of the database on the DataSet).
And when I try to put a text with more than 4000 characters in the dataset, it throw me an exception ....
--> I tried to insert this text directly in sql ce and it works well! So I think that the DataSet has a limitation?? But the maxlength of the string coloumn of the dataset is set to 536870911
i need to store quite along description in the database, which in anyother database i would choose the data type 'text', however, can someone tell me why the length is set to just 16 in sql server..... i have seen a text field with far greater than 16 chars, set at length 16, so what does this length of 16 mean????? also what is the max length of the text field?
Hi, Create Table tb_mismatch (x int) Create Procedure proc_mismatch as begin insert into tb_mismatch values('s') if @@error<>0 begin print ' entered error loop' end print 'successfully exited' end exec proc_mismatch --executing the proc Now, when i try to capture the above error its not getting trapped..its directly going to the final end statement. I have even tried calling subprocedures so that it comes out of the inner procedure and by some means i can move forward in the outer proc,but even that failed. The proc. is able to capture all the other errors like primary key violation,binary data truncated etc but not the datatype mismatch error (mainly int with varchar...) any ideas are highly appreciated. Thanks & regards, Pavan.
This is my first time solving replication problem for me.Do help me out.
We have two servers A [Publisher] and B [Subscriber]. Today users complained there is data mismatch.I just did a Select Top 10 records from both A & B, and there is differences in the records.I have to fix this problem by today.What are the steps I should take to find the
Validate the mismatch records? Sync both tables ? Ensure Mismatch does not happend in future?
There is no error mssg that indicate's failure of replication
Hi All, I am moving some numerical data from SQL server to excel. After the data is moved, i am getting green flag in excel cell to which the data is moved. I have configured the excel column to accept only numbers, but still i am getting green flag in excel cells. When i click the cell i am getting this message "The number in the cell is formatted as text or preceded by a apostrophe"
I have a data flow that is updating an Access database using an OLD DB Command control. I am getting this error and have narrowed it down to a column the Access table called CreateDate. I don't think this is a reserved word, but even surrounding it in [] did not resolve the problem. The column from SQL Server is called order_date and is a datetime and the destination column createdate is a datetime in Access. When I remove this column fromt he insert command, it works fine but when included, it gives the data type mismatch on criteria error. Any ideas?
I have a created a table and entered data into the table as follows:
CREATE TABLE t ( id INT , txtcol varchar(1000) )
INSERT INTO t ( id , txtcol ) VALUES ( 1 , 'ATXR_SOURCE_ID,CDDL_AG_PRICE,CDDL_ALLOW,CDDL_ALTDP_EXCD_ID,CDDL_CAP_IND,CDDL_CHG_AMT,CDDL_COINS_AMT,CDDL_CONSIDER_CHG,CDDL_COPAY_AMT,CDDL_DED_AC_NO,CDDL_DED_AMT,CDDL_DIS_PA_LIAB,CDDL_DISALL_AMT,CDDL_DISALL_EXCD,CDDL_DISC_AMT,CDDL_DP_PRICE,CDDL_FROM_DT,CDDL_PAID_AMT,CDDL_PF_PRICE,CDDL_PR_PYMT_AMT,CDDL_PRICE_IND,CDDL_REF_IND,CDDL_RISK_WH_AMT,CDDL_SB_PYMT_AMT,CDDL_SURF,CDDL_TOOTH_BEG,CDDL_TOOTH_END,CDDL_TOOTH_NO,CDDL_TOT_PA_LIAB,CDDL_UNITS,CDDL_UNITS_ALLOW,CGCG_ID,CGCG_RULE,DPCG_DP_ID_ALT,DPDP_ID,DPTC_CD,PDVC_LOBD_PTR,PSDC_ID,UTUT_CD' )
Now if i select data using the query below the txtcol field displays only 255 characters :
I'm having an issue in encrypting large documents. I know that previous editions ENCRYPTBYKEY had a maximum size of 8,000 byte limitation. Does SQL Server 2014 have any new features that overcomes this limitation?
Using SQL Server 2014 Std Symmetric key with AES_256
"UNION " & _ "SELECT p.ProductID, p.ProductTitle FROM Product p " & _ "WHERE (p.Price > '" & FormatCurrency(lowestPrice, 2) & "' AND p.Price < '" & FormatCurrency(highestPrice, 2) & "') " & _ "ORDER BY p.ProductTitle"
I don't know where the error goes wrong in here.. previously because of the union missing one spacing that resulted in syntax error, after i inserted a space to it.. it shows me Data type mismatch the criteria expression. Is it because in my sql coding i cant use FormatCurrency for ASP.net? please give me a hand.. thank you

Error Type: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E07) [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Data type mismatch in criteria expression. /advice generation/testdateprint.asp, line 371
This then gives me a date in the format "1/2/2008 12:09:33 AM". Since that is the minimum date, I need that row deleted, so I use:
OleDbCommand myDeleteCommand = new OleDbCommand("DELETE FROM 30_Day_Data WHERE Date='" + "myReader().GetValue(0).ToString()" + "'", myConnection); myDeleteCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
This gives me an error saying "Data type mismatch in criteria expression". I have no idea how to format the date so that it can get deleted. I have tried nearly everything with no success. Any help is appriciated.
I have SS on 64bit trying to do a lookup to an Oracle 10G db - I'm reading from a SS table and using a column to be part of the 'where' clause on my lookup against a table in oracle - I get Data Type mismatch even though both columns are strings (the input SS column is mapped to a string Derived column which is then mapped to the lookup). If I run on a 32bit machine it works fine. I have a task that can successfully update the Oracle DB table (on 64bit), I just can't get the lookup to work on 64 bit.
I have a few columns in table with default value defined as zero length string (''). I want to insert record from DetailsView which uses SqlDataSource as DataSource. In the ItemInserting event, if the data is not valid, I want to use zero length string for the column. But I always get Null instead of zero length string. The code in ItemInserting event looks like this: If objddl.SelectedIndex > 0 Then e.Values("myFld") = objddl.SelectedItem.ValueElse e.Values("myFld") = ""End If The line: e.Values("myFld") = "" put Null in the column. How can I set a column as zero length string using the SqlDataSource? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
SQL 2000.I need a query that will search a field in the table that is 14characters long and begins with a number.I have a client that was allowing people to store credit card numbers,plain text, in an application. I need to rip through the table andreplace every instance of credit card numbers with "x" and the last 4digits. I got the replace bit going, but I am stuck on how to searchfor a string in a field of a specific length.Any ideas?Thanks,--Mike
I'm having a problem with the XML Source data flow component not transferring the length attributes from an XML Schema to the column attributes of the output table.
An example schema that I have is:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><data xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'><xsd:schema> <xsd:simpleType name='NameType'> <xsd:restriction base='xsd:string'> <xsd:minLength value='0'/> <xsd:maxLength value='50'/> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> <xsd:element name='Name' type='NameType' nillable='true'/> <xsd:simpleType name='FamilyType'> <xsd:restriction base='xsd:string'> <xsd:minLength value='0'/> <xsd:maxLength value='50'/> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> <xsd:element name='Family' type='FamilyType' nillable='true'/> <xsd:element name='row'> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element ref='Name'/> <xsd:element ref='Family'/> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element> <xsd:element name='data'> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element ref='row' maxOccurs='unbounded'/> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element></xsd:schema> <!-- data follows --> <row><Name>Fred</Name><Family>Jones</Family></row></data> When I reference file in the XML Source data control, it correctly infers that there are two columns, but the length of the strings in the columns are set as 255.
This behaviour appears to be at odds with the SSIS documentation (SQL Server Integration Services/Integration Services Object and Concepts/Data Flow Elements/Integration Services Sources/XML Source), which states (highlighting mine):
When the data is extracted from the XML data file, it is converted to an Integration Services data type. The XSD or inline schema may specify the data type for elements, but if it does not, the XML Source Editor dialog box assigns the Unicode string data type (DT_WSTR) to the column in the output that contains the element, and sets the column length to 255 characters. If the schema specifies the maximum length of an element, the length of output column is set to this value. If the maximum length is greater than the length supported by the Integration Services data type to which the element is converted, then the data is truncated to the maximum length of the data type. For example, if a string has a length of 5000, it is truncated to 4000 characters because the maximum length of the DT_WSTR data type is 4000 characters; likewise, byte data is truncated to 8000 characters, the maximum length of the DT_BYTES data type. If the schema specifies no maximum length, the default length of columns with either data type is set to 255. Data truncation in the XML source is handled the same way as truncation in other data flow components. For more information, see Handling Errors in Data.
Has anyone had any luck in getting string lengths automatically extracted from an XML document? If so, where I am going wrong?
I'm doing a custom clustering plugin for text to pre-process ("clean" the texts), calculate weights, estimate the number of clusters (using the PBM index) and finally, do the actual clustering.
So... I've made each of these modules on C++ and I'm putting them all togheter on the plugin.
My database (MDB file) has only one table, with only two fields within: a key (auto-incremental) and a small text. What I intend to do is to get the text in each test case, store them togheter somewhere and call my classes to cluster these texts.
I'm trying to log the texts in a file (just a test) on the ProcessCase method, in the CaseProcessor class. I've did it with no problems with numerical data.
But when I load the MDB file on the Mining Structures Wizard, it says the content type of the field holding the texts is "Continous" and the data type is "Text". Actually, when I saw it I didn't really mind.
But when I run the mining model it gives me the following error: "Error 1 Error (Data mining): The data type of the Table1.Texto mining structure column must be numeric since it has a continuous content type (Content is set to Continuous or Key Time or Key Sequence). 0 0 "
So... How do I change this content type ? (the content type combobox on the Mining Structures Wizard couldn't the changed)
