Table Schema/Data Type Boolean In SQL Databases

Feb 16, 2008



Ok so i've got a database containing a table called Quote.
I need one of the field's datatype to be Boolean?
which option do i choose?


and also is there a way to make the Key Field auto increment?

And is the datatype: ntext, the correct option for a text only field?

thanks

Where's The Boolean Data Type?

Jun 19, 2005

Obviously, I'm new to SQL Server, because I'm still scratching my head wondering where in the world the boolean data type is. Can anyone please explain to me how boolean data types REALLY work in SQL Server? I've created a few Bit type fields, but when using a datagrid, they sometimes show up as 0 and 1 and sometimes as True/False, and I can't see a difference in how the grids (or fields(!)) are set up that would explain this. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Boolean Data Type

Jun 24, 2004

What data type should I use as a replacement of Boolean in SQL server? I need to create a table column with a "two-state" data type and must ensure, that only one record can hold value "True" in this column... Any ideas? Thanks

Boolean Data Type?

Apr 22, 2008

I know this is a stupid question, but I've searched and can't seem to find it.

What do you use in SQL when creating a table and the field is a "yes/no" type field? In VB isn't that a boolean data type? What is the corresponding SQL data type?

Boolean Data Type Not Available (workaround For Checkbox.checked Storing?)

Sep 2, 2006

I have a page for inventory price entry that I have used for a while. Now I need to add a checkbox for whether or not the price includes shipping. I added the checkbox to the form and had it posting 'True' or 'False' to the database as nchar(10) data type. When the gridview pulls up the data, I have the Item Template like this, so it shows a disabled checkbox either checked or not: <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox2" runat="server" Checked='<%# Convert.ToBoolean(Eval("Shipping")) %>' Enabled="False" /> This works fine for displaying the values, but I copied the checkbox to the Edit Item Template, but did not disabled this one. At first, I didn't change the databindings, leaving it Convert.ToBoolean(Eval("Shipping")), which allowed me to go into Edit mode, change the checkbox, then click update. At which point it would return to it's original state (meaning Update wasn't actually updating). However if I change the databindings, then the page won't display. I checked the SQL statement, and sure enough, it has theUpdateCommand="UPDATE [PartsTable] ... SET [Shipping] = @Shipping... WHERE [PartID] = @original_PartIDAfter fiddling with the sql statement, now I get Object cannot be cast from DBNull to other types. I think that means that the checkbox is sending a null value to the database.Any insight as to how to get this to work is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Invalid Operator For Data Type. Operator Equals Boolean AND, Type Equals Datetime.

May 18, 2004

I am getting a error message saying: Invalid operator for data type. Operator equals boolean AND, type equals datetime.

I traced the pointer to @gdo and @gd, they are both dates!

INSERT INTO AdminAlerts values (CURRENT_USER, 'UPDATE', getDate(), @biui, 'Updated booking, ID of booking updated: ' & @biui & ', Booking date and time before/after update: ' & @gdo & '/' & @gd & ', Room number before/after update: ' & @rno & '/' & @rn & ' and Customer ID before/after update: ' & @cio & '/' & @ci)


If I cut that two dates out it works fine.
Could someone tell me the syntax to include a date in a string :confused:

Merge Replication Between Same Schema Databases But Different Data

Jan 25, 2007

Hi all.

I 'm trying to set up merge replication between two servers that have the same schema databases. The two database have the majority of there data the same but as well as data inserted at a later time independently on the two servers. (The two servers were connected in a merge replication scheme that failed at some later  time and replication was paused, but users continout to insert data indepentedly at the two servers.)

I need to get them up and running.

I cleaned replication at both servers, I recreated the publication at the puplisher distributor and all is fine.

When I create a push subscription to the subscriper I get the error invalid column name 'rowguidcol' .

I so far managed to have merge replication running on two identical databases (schema and data).

Just some thoughts. After some reading I found that it might be related to identities and identity range or indexes.  I set the identity seed  and increment at 2, 2 at publisher and at 1,2 at subscriper. (On the same tables at  puplisher and subscriber.) Is that ok? is that the way to do it?

Digging a bit more  Using the SQL Profiler I can locate the error to happen when sp_MSaddmergetriggers executes.

Thanks allot for any help

Exported Flat File Data Will Not Import To Same Table Without Extensive Data-type Manipulation

Jul 13, 2007

I'm moving data between identical tables and have to use a flat file as an intermediary. I thought: "No problem, SSIS can do a quick export to a file, then move the file to another server, then use SSIS to import the data to the new server."



Seems simple, right?



I'm hitting all sorts of surprising data conversion errors. I used the export wizard to create the export package. This works fine. However using the same flat file definition, the import package fails -- even when I have no destination. That is I have just one data flow task that contains only one control: the Flat File source. When I run the package the flat file definition fails with data type conversion and truncation errors. One of the obvious errors is for boolean types. The SQL field is a bit, SSIS defined the column as DT_BOOL, the output of the data are literal text values "TRUE" and "FALSE". So SSIS converts a sql datatype of bit to "TRUE" and "FALSE" on export, but can't make the reverse conversion on import?



Does anyone else find this surprising? I would expect that what SSIS exports, it can import given all the same table and flat file definitions. Is SSIS the wrong tool to do such simple bulk copies? I'd like to avoid using BCP because this process will need to run automatically within SQL Agent so we can leverage all the error tracking and system monitoring.

Moving Data From One DB Schema To Another DB Schema Using SSIS

May 8, 2007

Hello,



I would like to use SSIS tool to move the data from one database schema to another database schema.



For example:



Source table has

1. UserName (varchar 20) (no null)

2. Email (varchar 50) (can be null)



Destination table has



1. UserID (uniqueidentifier - GUID)

2. UserName (varchar 50) (no null)

3. EmailAddress (nvarchar 50) (can be null)

4. DateTime



Questions:



1. What controls do I use in my Data Flow to make data move between databases with different data types and include new value in UserID as a new GUID and DateTime as a date (GETDATE)?

OLE DB Source, OLE DB Destination, Data Converson and .....

How do I insert Guid and Date at the same time?





2. I have many tables to do data moving. Any sugestions? How do I architect my project? If I create many data flows for each table - it will look complicated.



Please give me some advices here.



Thanks.

SQL Server - Manage Multiple Databases With Same Schema

May 10, 2005

I am using SQL Server 2000.
I am working on a project where there will be multiple databases on a single instance of SQL Server. Each database will have the exact same schema but will be accessed by different groups of users.
What is the easiest way to sychronize changes between the databases, so that if I add a column to one database, it will be reflected in the other databases. If I add, remove, or alter a stored procedure, I want the change to be made in the other databases. I want the data in each database to remain isolated. In other words, I do not want replication of the data, only the schema of the databases. I would like to have a single "master" database that I use to make any schema changes and all the other databases be schema mirrors of this database each with their own data.
I have looked into SQL Server replication, but this didn't seem to work the way I wanted and I wasn't able to publish column changes etc.

Schema Extraction For Multiple Interdependent Databases

Jul 23, 2005

I'm looking for a tool that can extract only the schema from a databasein a form that can be used to generate that schema in another emptydatabase. This is to facilitate our disaster recovery processes wherewe need the objects only, not the data, and need to replicate this toour disaster recovery site over the WAN. There are plenty of toolsthat can handle a single database, but does anyone know of any toolsthat could handle multiple databases where many of the objects (storedprocs and views) are dependent on objects in other of the databases(tables). This is a home-grown ETL suite so making changes to the codeto remove these dependencies would take way too much effort. I amlooking for something that can either extract the schema for all 3databases and handle the object creation ordering to account for thedependencies (a simple method would be to extract by object type acrossall databases, e.g. tables for all dbs before views before procs), or abackup/restore tool that allows you to restore the objects only withoutdata. Worst case we could write something to generate the DDL or useSQL DMO, but ideally we would prefer to purchase a (relativelyinexpensive) tool to do it.Thanks,Simon

What Data Type To Save GPS Coordinates In A Data Table.

Sep 20, 2006

I am working on a program in VB 2005 in which i want to store and retrieve GPS coordinates. I am not sure which data type is the best to use to enter Latitude & Longitude numbers and maintain their proper integrity.

Like LAT ( N38 28.025' ) and LONG (W105 52.098' )

The numbers will be entered by the user and that format can be maintained, but how to re-enter & or insert them into the database using the same format is my real question.

I hope I have explained this right. The numbers in BOLD are what I need to maintain.

Thanks for any help in advance.

I can also run the query commenting out the TransactionDatecolumn and it works fine. But when I have both the conditions in theWHERE clause, it gives me this error. Dropping the index solves theproblem.Can anyone tell me why an index would cause a query to fail?Thanks a lot in advance,AmirCREATE TABLE [PTRANS] ([CHL#] [varchar] (100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,[CHCENT] [numeric](2, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHYYMM] [numeric](4, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHDAY] [numeric](2, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHTC] [char] (2) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL) ON [PRIMARY]GOCREATE VIEW dbo.vwTransactionsASSELECT CONVERT(datetime, dbo.udf_AddDashes(REPLICATE('0', 2 -LEN(CHCENT)) + CONVERT(varchar, CHCENT) + REPLICATE('0', 4 -LEN(CHYYMM))+ CONVERT(varchar, CHYYMM) + REPLICATE('0', 2 -LEN(CHDAY)) + CONVERT(varchar, CHDAY)), 20) AS TransactionDate,CHL# AS AssetNumber,CHTC AS TransactionCodeFROM dbo.PTRANSWHERE (CHCENT <> 0) AND (CHTC <> 'RA')*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

Using Other Table's Data Type

Aug 9, 2005

for example

CREATE TABLE Table1 (
    Email NVARCHAR(256)
)

CREATE TABLE Table2 (
    Email <------
)

How can I use Table1's Email column's data type as for Email col in Table2. I remember it's possible in Oracle

Thank you

Integration Services :: Schema Separation - Accessing Multiple Databases

Nov 8, 2015

We have a system that uses 3 databases, one for Membership db standard MS membership only the application has access to that data, one with User Data which we would like to make multi-tenant using Schema-Separation, and a third read-only reference db which is Common Market data for all users.we anticipate Tenant numbers in the thousands.Current we have multiple queries which create joins between the Main db and the Reference database using something like

Selec S.*, M.ScheduleDate, M.substation from Sites S left outer join Market.dbo.MarketUnit M where S.MarketUnitID = M.MarketUnitID

i'm planning to have a new schema for each Tenant on the Main Database, so I would create a Schema T1 for the first customer, a user T1User with access to T1 schema.  and grant T1User access to Market.dbo. My First question is are there any concerns about the above T1User setup? My second question is, are there any tools which would automate the setup of the multi-tenant with schema separation, or should I just script the whole Main Database schema creation and replace schema name globally and then execute the script?

My Third question, how about upgrade and updates... currently using VS to compare dev/qa/prod database to identify changed which need to be promoted, and pushing updates...  this could be a big pain to promote code to thousands of Schemas.  grantedwe will likely keep the overall number of schemas spread over different SQL servers.

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The Conversion Of A Char Data Type To A Datetime Data Type Resulted In An Out-of-range Datetime Value.

Dec 14, 2005

After testing out the application i write on the local pc. I deploy it to the webserver to test it out. I get this error.

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The conversion of a char data type to a
datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.

Notes: all pages that have this error either has a repeater or datagrid which load data when page loading.

At first I thought the problem is with the date, but then I can see
that some other pages that has datagrid ( that has a date field) work
just fine.

anyone having this problem before?? hopefully you guys can help.

Thanks,

Automatically Duplicating Table Data In 2 Databases

Jun 3, 2015

I am very well versed on manipulating data using passthrough queries through access or the command object in ADO/VBA but this problem requires a sql server side solution and I have been assigned the task

Scenario

Access via an ODBC link cannot view Sql table data that uses a BigInt as a primary key. Access can update the data, insert data ands delete data to these tables - but viewing (by design) returns the actual count of the rows but each field is populated with #deleted.

I can view the table data if I use a passtyhrough query but performing row level and field level edits from there is impossible. Not all people have Studio manager so that is not an option.

We are moving away from our legacy application and the development company has already developed the schema using the BigInt so changing that to a numeric or integer is out of the question. My boss has determined that using a set of bridge tables with identical tables in a different database where we replace the bigint with int will work - we can view the data in the "bridged" database and even update it from select queries and simply by opening the table in view mode from Access.

Here is the hard part (for me) because I have never done this. I can write SQL and understand the security/roles etc, but I have never administered SQL server regarding server side triggers and stored procedures - I have always used the command object or passthrough queries to deal with sql stored procedures. I need to either

A)Create some trigger behind the tables in my bridge table that will fire a stored procedure to replicate the data to the bigint database. They are both on the same sever.

B)Somehow create a "mirror" that always replicates from my bridge database tables (5 of them) to the new database.

SQL Server Table Data Type

Feb 26, 2007

Hi,
I have a stored procedure which uses:
DECLARE @Tmp TABLE ( Row_ID INT IDENTITY(1,1), Property_ID INT)
And I'd like to reuse the table in the stored procedure and have attempted to empty the table by calling
TRUNCATE TABLE @Tmp
But this doesn't work.  How else can I do this?  I don't want to use
DELETE FROM @Tmp
Because this doesn't reset the Row_ID, and I'm using the Row_ID in a WHILE loop.  Any ideas?
