I am trying to read an Informix 9.3 blob field into a TSQL (SQL Server Stored Procedure) and the data type conversion is not supported thru the MS ODBC Driver installed with Win2000/SQL2000. Does anyone know of another method to retrieve this data, or of a vendor that provides an ODBC driver that supports the Informix blob data type. Thanks!
View 1 RepliesHey everyone,
I'm trying to hit an informix box... I've found two software packages (both priced in the THOUSANDS of dollars)... Looking for a cheap...er, a FREE way to hit this informix box via DTS.
Thank you!
I am trying to drag data from Informix to Sql Server. When I kick off the package
using an OLE DB Source and a SQL Server Destination, I get DT_DBDATE to DT_DBTIMESTAMP
errors on two fields from Informix which are date data ....no timestamp part
I tried a couple of things:
Created a view of the Informix table where I cast the date fields as datetime year to fraction(5), which failed.
Altered the view to convert the date fields to char(10) with the hopes that SQL Server would implicitly cast them
as datetime but it failed.
What options do I have that will work?
hi all,
Happy new year!
is anybody here familiar with the different informix ODBC protocol
such as Sesoctcp and onsoctcp and the rest of the protocols
I think my SSIS design is affected by this protocols i'm having problems with
the unicode and non unicode conversion.
many many thanks

Help!
I'm trying to create a simple .dtsx package that imports data to SQL server 2005 from an informix 7.3 db using an ADO.net ODBC connection. I am first creating the groundwork for the dtsx package in SQL server using the wizard, and then editing the file later in visual studio.
My data source SQL in the dataflow task is simple and it works great until I hit a locked record on the Informix database.
select <coulmns>
from <table>
Where <condition>
The work around syntax for the locked row on the informix DB should be:
set isolation to dirty read
go
select <coulmns>
from <table>
where <condition>
This syntax will return the data correctly using a non-microsoft SQL editor, however it will will not parse corectly within visual studio. Interestingly enough, in visual studio I can parse the islolation and the select indenpendantly, just not in the same statement.
Has anyone come across this before? Any ideas on what I can do to resolve my problem?
Thanks in advance!
I'm having trouble using Informix 2000 database as a source. I have an OpenLink v 5.2 driver installed and a System DSN set up. I can successfully test the connection.
I added the ADO.Net DSN to the connection manager and added it to a DataReader Source. I then added the SQLCommand property. I was able to map columns (took a long time for the columns to show up) and then I get an error: "Function sequence error:". Can not save the DataReader.
What can be the reason(s) why I can't get data from a linked server using an ODBC datasource that works fast & fine from MS Access?
I have an ODBC connection (System DSN) configured for an Informix ODBC driver.
The Test button (belonging to this driver-setup) reports a successfull connection test.
Getting data from this database by linking tables in MS Access works fast and easy.
But I have tried for many days now to setup a linked server from SQL Server (2005)
Creation goes fine, but as soon as I issue a query, (e.g. 'select * from infrem723...remotetable' or using 'openquery')
I get the following error:
---
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "infrem723" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "infrem723".
---
Why is Access able to read what "MSDASQL" cannot?
I am desperate - can anybody help?Thanks a lot!
I am using SqlServer 2000 and Jdbc connectivity in my application on windows.So, when i execute a query on Sqlserver database as :

This problem is only with the BLOB data types in table RS_TABLELOB.

Basically, I am asking if it is possible to use SSMS (Query Analyzer window) with Informix. I am thinking linked server. If I have the ODBC driver installed on my workstation (win 7 pro VM workstation -- SSMS on same VM machine) is this doable? Do I just do the standard linked server routine or is there a special way (if it is even doable).
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhat is BLOB field in MS SQL? How to use insert and access from this field?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI copying data from our Informix 7.2 database into SQL Server 2K using DTS but hitting errors during the process. There appears to be date data within Informix that will not convert properly when moving into SQL. Since the error is appearing at the 1.5million (approx.) record. I figured on changing from datetime to nvarchar. Works like a charm! :-)
My new problem is converting it back to datetime so I can query against the date without having to create scripts to parse the field.
The data in SQL currently looks like this -> 2000-11-29 (nvarchar(50))
I would like to have it -> 11/29/00 (datetime)
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I need some help in SSIS Package I am trying to write a byte array to an image (blob) in DB2 destination. I am getting SQL code -290 Invalid Description, if i set the output column to a byte stream. If I set the output column to an Image data type then I get a different error the package will not at that time even process it errors out right away. At least using a byte stream datatype it errors out when it is about to write to the olebd destination. Anybody have success using BLOB fields in SSIS package data flow? Thanks for any help.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm using the code below to send files that are in a blob file in my database to the browser client. The code sends the file in chunks in order to increase performance. The file I'm using to test with is 7MB. It works great on Windows XP with any browser. It takes virtually the same amount of time compared to downloading the file directly from the webserver. However, Windows 2000 and Mac OS X both take about 4x the amount of time it takes to download the file on XP machines. Why the performance difference? Is there anything I can do to fix this? I tried downloading the file directly from the webserver instead of getting it out of the database and it takes the same amount of time on all 3 OS.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Login that I setup in SQL Server 2005. The only database roles given to the login are db_datareader and public. On SQL 2000 these permissions are sufficient to allow me to setup a read only ODBC connection using this login and creating an import table in Access. When using the login in SQL 2005 and creating an import table, I am able to edit the underlying data, something I am not able to do with a SQL 2000 ODBC connection. Is there something in SQL 2005 that I am unaware of that would allow this login to modify (update) the table?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have an Access database Front End which use SQL server as a Back End. The two are connected using ODBC. Occasionally, some of the linked tables in Access go read only. I can't add or edit records. The only way I know to get round the problem is to delete the link and re-create it. Refreshing the link does not work. Can anybody suggest why this would happen, and the best way to fix it when it does occur?
Edited 12:10 06/14/07
Some extra info. At the same time it goes read only, the link loses it's primary key.
Thanks

Dear all,
I am using SQL 2000 and would like to dynamically assign ODBC data source to transform data task. Do you have a stored procedure to perform read/write from/to ODBC data source? I would like to input data source and table name.

Hi,I have two, similar SQL Server 7.0 databases (in the same SQL ServerGroup) that I use as the backend for two Access 2000 front endapplications - one is the live version, the other is the developmentversion.The live version works fine. But the other version is read-only, i.e.no changes can be made to the data in the tables, over the ODBCconnection.Both systems have similar ODBC connection properties, the permissionsettings on the SQL Server databases are the same - users, tableaccess, database access, etc. The connections use Windowsauthenication and the users are set up in SQL Server security loginswith public and db_owner selected.Has anyone seen or heard of this problem and does anyone have anyideas on how to fix it?I appreciate any comments or suggestions you may have.Thanks,Chris

My question is simple, I'd like to do something I do in Jet ANSI-89 SQL. Mind you I'm just adding numbers here - they are not actual columns in 'SomeTable'
SELECT 1 AS A, 2 AS B, A+B AS C
FROM SomeTable
The Jet engine evaluates and does arithmetic on the Aliased column names - handy when they contain their own functions. The resultset would show:
A B C
1 2 3
However from what I can tell SQL Server 2005 is not picking this up. Is their an equivalent?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe are debating what is industry “best practice� for serving huge numbers of images in an industrial scale website. More directly, which approach produces the best performance and the best scalability? For example, how do sites like ebay, Amazon, and other large sites handle the millions or billions of images they must deal with?
Store as BLOB in sql server?
Store in /images folder and store url text into sql server?
We always assumed that the second approach is what most sites must do. But do they?
One developer on our team maintains that storing one million or more image files in a directory will most certainly result in poor performance, because the server must scan the directory, searching for the correct file, each time a web request is made. The directory is not indexed (?) so performance must eventually suffer.
Other developer counters that storing millions of images as BLOBs into sql server will result in poor performance and HUGE database. An additional layer of access (webserver to sql server, back to webserver, then to client) causes a delay and performance hit.
Who is right? What do the gurus as the world class sites do?
I have the following query:
Select p.Id [SenderId], p.Username, up.PhotoId,
CASE
WHEN mr.ReadDate is null then 1 -- New message
ELSE 0 -- Message has been read
END AS NewMessage,
p.LastLoggedIn, p.LoggedIn
[Code] ....
The above query returns me all messages (inbox functionality) that have been sent to mr.ReceipientId, the issue I have is when I send another email to the recipient the readdate field will be null, and the other emails linked to the recipient which have also been sent via me will have a readdate date. This causes duplicate rows to appear due to the case statement, I'm trying to figure out if / how it is possible to only display the one row per conversation and set newmessage to 1 if there is an un-read message otherwise show 0 ?
So instead of showing this:
2Person102015-07-26 17:07:24.9370
2Person112015-07-26 17:07:24.9370
I'm trying to get it to look like this:
2Person112015-07-26 17:07:24.9370
Or if we have no new mail (read date is not null) then it will appear like this, and I can confirm when there is no new mail it works as expected.

We are experiencing failures when accessing a datatype="Attachments" field in a query in an MS Access 2007 database using ACE ODBC or OLEDB drivers.
We are using an MS Access 2007 database
ACE ODBC/OLEDB drivers installed (i.e. Office 2007, which installs these drivers)
DB contains a table with a field of type "Attachments" (which is new in MS Access 2007)
DB contains a query that selects the fields of the above table
Using ACE ODBC or ACE OLEDB drivers to display the table works fine. The "Attachments" field is displayed as the file name of the attachment(s).
However, using either ACE ODBC or ACE OLEDB to display the query (i.e. NOT the table) results in either incorrect results or unexpected failures of the ODBC/OLEDB drivers.
Error using ODBC (using "ODBC Test"):
=============================
select * from Query1 does not give an error, but displays a "1" for the Attachment field.
select Attachments from Query1 gives the following error:

*ColumnNumber = -2, *RowNumber = -2
