I have an issue with validating an XML file I have from a 3rd party.
Willing to improve and standardise company's process, I have created an XML schema collection (SQL 2008R2), but when I validate the XML file against it I always keep getting the above error: Invalid simple type value dateTime.
Definition of dateTime from w3schools website says: ------ Start of quote ---- "DateTime Data Type The dateTime data type is used to specify a date and a time. The dateTime is specified in the following form "YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss" where: YYYY indicates the year MM indicates the month DD indicates the day T indicates the start of the required time section hh indicates the hour mm indicates the minute ss indicates the second
Note: All components are required!
The following is an example of a dateTime declaration in a schema:
<xs:element name="startdate" type="xs:dateTime"/> An element in your document might look like this: <startdate>2002-05-30T09:00:00</startdate>
------ End of quote ----
So I would assume that dates like 2012-10-24T14:23:00 or 2012-10-24T14:15:00 should be fine, but no -fails.
It works though only if I add "Z" at the end. Obviously 3rd party do not want to change anything, as it works for ages.
Trying to generate a report (using WebForm ReportViewer, from dynamically created RDL report and SQL Server 2005 OLAP cube), if a database field contains control characters (code < 0x20), Reporting Services generate following message:
' ', hexadecimal value 0x02, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 2376.
Is it possible to ignore that? I don't care if browser shows an octopus, the report must work.
I'm getteing an error saying "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid character value for cast specification" when i try to debug a store procedure. The Store Procedure parameters are as below. PROCEDURE clCreateUnpostedTrxEarnType ( @SERIES int, @PERIODID int, @YEAR int, @PTRATIO float, @CPTYPE int, @CPTRXTYPE int, @Startdate datetime, @Enddate datetime, @O_iErrorState int = NULL output )
I am using the backend SQLServer with Powerbuilder, I write a stored procedure and tried to create a datawindow to use that procedure but failed, it returns error code 22005 -Invalid Character value for cast specification. I tried to change any setting in ODBC but still failed.
accessing through ODBC a frond end application which is running on MS SQL Server 2005, works just fine with a specific setup as concerned as the decimal/thousands separators ("," for thousands and "." for decimals). If i switch these settings alternatively ("." for thousands and "," for decimals), i get this error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid character value for cast specification.
I tried to search forum and internet but no luck. Thanks in advance
hello, i have a problem with SQL Server Agent. Sometimes, when a scheduled job runs i get this error:
Error: 2008-03-13 06:04:50.50 Code: 0xC0202009 Source: Load Current OLE DB Destination [124] Description: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.

End Error Error: 2008-03-13 06:04:50.52 Code: 0xC0209029 Source: Load Current OLE DB Destination [124]
the code i use looks like this
DECLARE @Report_date datetime SET @Report_date = dateadd(dd,-1,convert(varchar(10),getdate(),121))
select CollectDate = @Report_date
the destination column is datetime. Is this a known issue / bug? Because this doesn't happen everytime, and when it does happen all i have to do ia run the job again.
I wrote a CLR function, which is receiving some XML parameters. In certein situations it gives me the following error message:
Msg 6522, Level 16, State 1, Line 58 A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user-defined routine or aggregate "svmScale": System.Xml.XmlException: Invalid character in the given encoding. Line 1, position 27.

If I cahnage one of the zeros in the given tag, the error message disappears. If i cut the given tag, the error message disappears. If I cut the given tag, and then paste the previous one in place of it, the error message APPEARS. So my conclusion is, that any tag can be wrong on a specific position in the XML. This makes me wonder.
Another wonderfull thing is, that if I take this CLR function, and the same TSQL code, and I do run it on my notbook with my SQL Express, no error message. But if I try to use it on the server, with SQL 2005 it drops me this error message. The resulting XML is coming from an SELECT FOR XML AUTO, so i suspect it not having illegal characters inside. This is probably true, becouse the above replace procedure can make the message disapear.

I have a Data Flow task that is simply copying data from table A to table B. (there is a derived column in between however)
All the columns in table A are varchar(255). The columns in table B vary: floats, decimals, etc
However, I am getting a bazillion errors when I run this, each of them to the effect that:
Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available.

I don't understand why this is happening... I've succesfully run similar scenarios with other packages, ie) moving data from one table to another table even though the tables have different data types.
I'm usung bcp to move data from one table to another. 202 million rows. The source/original table had 32 fields. The new table has 33 fields. I added a PK column to the destination/new table. The new PK column is the first field in the new table, it is set to autoincrement by 1 on each insert. The data file only has 32 fields of data per row.
The error is :SQLState = 22018, NativeError = 0 Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Invalid character value for cast specification
10 times, then bcp shuts off (default errors is 10).

I'm working on a database conversion from Sybase to SQL Server 2005 and have hit a wall with a character conversion problem when reading non-ASCII characters (encrypted password string) via JDBC.
My application runs on Solaris and accesses a SQL Server 2005 database via the Microsoft JDBC driver. The server was unfortunately specified as having a SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation at installation time, and the database being accessed has taken this default. After creation the data was migrated across via DTS.
The invalid character is a dagger '†'. When read over JDBC it is converted to a question mark '?'.
In my original environment a Sybase database was accessed via JDBC driver from Solaris and the correct value was returned. The Sybase database used Latin1_General_BIN as it's collation. By way of experimentation I have modified the default collation sequence within the SQL Server 2005 database, and created a new table to hold the password. I am then able to correctly return strings containing this character from within SQL Server Management Studio, but the same problem still exists when accessing it via JDBC.
I am not sure where to focus my investigation and would be grateful for any useful pointers/advice. To me it looks like it's a JDBC driver issue as with the change in collation it works from a non-JDBC client.
I have a question regarding the running of a procedure from VC++ in SQL server.
well this is the scenario.
i have a procedure in SQL server and i am running that thru my VC++ code. :eek: i have a recordset class and i create an object of it and then do a obj.Open(). the procedure is fetching 24 records correctly in the query analyser and in my while(!(obj.IsEOF())) loop it gets the first record correctly but the moment it encounters obj.MoveNext(); it bombs and gives me the following error..
"Invalid Character value for cast specification ".
Hi,I used SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition. I created a stored procedurehaving input parameters as smallint,tinyint,char,varchar andsmalldatetime. When I executed it by Query Analyzer, it's ok. But whenI executed it by ASP code that used ADODB.command, it showed error:Invalid character value for cast specification .Though SQL Server debugger, it showed:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid character value for castspecificationWhat did I do wrong? How do I fix this problem?TIAKrungPS: One of input parameters was smalldatetime, but I casting it in ASPas date as:Const adDate=7datetxt='2004/6/28'cmd.Parameters.Append cmd.CreateParameter("CoopId",adChar,adParamInput, 8, coopid)cmd.Parameters.Append cmd.CreateParameter("Addr",adVarChar,adParamInput, 100, addr)...cmd.Parameters.Append cmd.CreateParameter("Cdate",adDate,adParamInput, , datetxt)....cmd.execute
Hi, I'm a new DBA and am a rookie when it comes to working with SQL Server 2005. I have been tasked with transfering an Access database to SQL Server 2005. Now I understand to use the import/export wizard, but am having problems fixing an error I am receiving. Here is the error...

Here is the short version of the error. I realize that there is an error with the conversion and the error is in tblResource in column Contract Start Date. It is still transfering the column over, and on spot check they seem fine. Should I be really worried about an error? Or is there something that I can do with the Access or SQL server database to fix this?
In my SSIS Package I am loading data from Oracle source to SQL Destination. But while loading I am getting below error.

I have attached the table definition of both source as well as destination.
My source is a csv flat file. Currently I use that same flat file on SQL 2000 and SQL 2005.
On SQL 2000 it runs fine and it inserts that character as part of the string (varchar), however, it gives me truncate error on sql 2005. I already use the "Suggest Types...." and my Output columns have the correct lenght (specially that lehght of that column is only 30 char which is less than the default anyways). If I remove that character it runs fine for that column.....
This is the values that I get in my flat file for the trouble coulmn is "ATTN: JON OLSEN €€œ CTRL8 "
And the error that I get when running the SSIS is

Hello, I am running out of ideas on how to get SSRS to work. I am trying get this setup with the intention to replace our Crystal Reports server. Currently I have set up the RS Virtual Directory on a Win XP box. The ReportServer database sits on another SQL2000 box.
I can connect to the http://localhost/ReportServer/ on the XP box to display the page the depicts "Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Version 9.00.2047.00"
When I connect to the http://localhost/Reports/, I get this error "A name was started with an invalid character. Error processing resource 'http://leej/Reports/'. Line 1, Position 2" I checked my IIS Virtual Directory properties for Reports and ASP.NET is set to v2.0.50727. I also executed "aspnet_regiis.exe -i" in the "C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727" directory.
Any thought on how to fix this? I hate to let this blocker deters us from deploying SSRS.
Hi all--Given a table called "buyers" with the following column definitions in a SQL Server 2005 database:
[BUYER] [nvarchar](40) NULL,
[DIVISION] [nvarchar](3) NULL,
[MOD_DATE] [datetime] NULL
This table is laden with Unicode data and the MOD_DATE contains no data--not even NULL values, and is giving me a headache as a result. I can export this data fine to a text file, but when I create an SSIS package to attempt import to another table defined exactly the same as above in another place, I get the following messages:

Among the customizations in this package is the flag "ValidateExternalMetadata" set to False. The data itself is surrounded by " and delimited by semicolons for each field, with the header row set as the name of each column. It looks like this:
"BUYER";"DIVISION";"MOD_DATE" "108 Joon-Hyn Kim";"TAD";"" "109 Kang-Soo Do";"TAD";"" "FS07 John Smith";"TAD";""
...
Can anyone suggest a course of action on how to handle the error when the MOD_DATE field is completely empty?

I read related posts but could not figure out the error?
While run time these values are lets suppose @SSN = '999-000-000' & @State='ABC'
Now the Result is displayed with the state data Like 'AB' only.
Output: 1 999-000-000 AB
instead it should give system generated error.
Here I have 2 Questions: 1. Why it is taking 1st 2 Charecters? 2. Why it does not have any system generated for length?
I can do validation with Length function for these 2 variables however if have 100 variables then it should not feasible case. So, what is the reason behind?Â
There are certain errors that does not come during compilation and it shows during execution because of late-binding concept implemented in SQL Server from 7.0 version.
The problem is when Tables are not there, SPs are created. And there is no option where we can set like 'Validate object resolution during compilation"
There are lot of SPs that are in invalid status because the tables are really not there and SP needs to be modified to reflect the correct table name. In Oracle, if I have to find the list of objects that are in invalid state (because of object resolution problems), it was possible. How do I do it in SQL?
I need a listing of all objects in my database that is in invalid state. Searched in NET but there seems to be no supporting tool also that lists invalid objects.
Pl let me know whether there exists a way by which I can get to know the invalid object lists in my SQL 2005 database
In C# .NET I have the possible to create some validations of my data, with regulary expressions. Do SQL have the same feature? I will like to do an data validation of all my insert statement inside the sql-server. Is that possible?
I have a database column that stored the weblinks like the one below :
[URL] .....
I want to extract string  "airfare" which comes  after string "cname= " and before the  string "&ccontent" .This is actually the value for cname. The entire string size can be of variable length.Â
I would like to know how can i only get the characters before the special character?
For example if the mail id is The.Champ123@gmail.com i need to extract The.Champ123 and if the mail id is TheChamp@gmail.com I need to get TheChamp.So basically i would like to get the characters from the string before '@' character.
I'm trying to Pivot and I keep getting an "Invalid Column Name" error, which I can't figure out since, if I run the query and exclude the Pivot statement, the query runs fine.
Columns ItemNmbr Char(31) not null SetupTime_I Numeric(19,5) not null WCID_IÂ Char(11) not null select ItemNmbr,SetupTime_I, WCID_I from RT010130 Results
Now run select ItemNmbr,SetupTime_I, WCID_I from RT010130 pivot (sum(SetupTime_I) for WCID_I in ([BLA01],[URE02])) PVT
And I get an Invalid Column Name error for both SetupTime_I and WCID_I - which, as far as I can tell, is demonstrably incorrect.
I am reading text file using OPENROWSET command. The read is successful. But the UNICODE characters in the file is not showing properly in the output.I am using a sql like below:

how should I read the unicode characters correctly.
How to modify values in a SQL Database. In the table PRDDEmpmaster there is a field called email_address, and for those fields that have a value I need to change that value to add { } opening/closing "curly braces" to that field.Â
For example,
RPARSONS@YAHOO.COM becomes {RPARSONS@YAHOO.COM} . Nulls/empty fields remain as is.   Â
When we are getting data in a table and we want to replace characters with other characters. For example, We have a table with a street address, and there are numerous ascii character values we want to review and replace if they exist. We were looking at using a table with 2 columns, 1 containing each ascii character value the other it's preferred replacement value. Then updating the street address searching through each ascii character and replacing it if needed. Currently, we are running it through a looping process searching each individual address for each ascii character, and updating it.
