I am using SSIS to extract data from one oracle server to another. When i use this SSIS package in another Server, it gives me Unicode conversion error to non unicode for some Columns which are VARCHAR2 type. I have to then used drived column and use conversion, but my question is why this error from i migrate my SSIS package to another server.

Hello,
I have a ssis package that I created in the BIDS and run through a job.
the package was running very good all the time, till yesterday, when I changed the
default language of my server to hebrew (its an hebrew website).
now I get this error:
Code SnippetError: 0xC002F325 at CopyTables1, Transfer SQL Server Objects Task: Execution failed with the following error: "ERROR : errorCode=-1071636471 description=SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.

To be able to reproduce the error in the simplest configuration, I just installed the pubs and Northwind sample databases for SQL 2000 (as downloadable from Microsoft) using the Attach method (instead of running the scripts) on the SQL 2000 machine. I started Management Studio 2005 SP2 on the other machine, connected to the SQL 2000 server, and from the right click menu, used Tasks > Copy Database Wizard, using the SMO option, copy everything (including stored procedures and user error messages), and chose execute immediately. For the Northwind database, everything worked fine, however for the pubs database, the error message above was returned.
I have no idea how to move forward, a client of mine is having the same problem, but I could not get any closer to the problem.
Thanks for any help,

i have a weird situation here, i tried to load a unicode file with a flat file source component, one of file lines has data like any other line but also contains the character "ÿ" which i can't see or find it and replace it with empty string, the source component parses the line correctly but if there is a data type error in this line, the error output for that line gives me this character "ÿ" instead of the original line.
simply, the error output of flat file source component fail to get the original line when the line contains hidden "ÿ".
i hope you can help me with issue.
Thanks in advance.
Hi all, we are now planning to upgrade our application from anon-unicode version to a unicode version. The application's backend isa SQL Server 2000 SP3.The concern is, existing business data are stored using collation"Chinese_PRC_CI_AS", i.e. Simplified Chinese. So I thought we need toextract these data out to the new SQL Server which is using Unicode (Iassume it means converting them to nchar, nvarchar type of fields for Idon't enough information from the application side, or is there ageneral unicode collation that will make even char and varchar types tostore data as Unicode?).The problem is what's the best and most efficient way to do this dataconversion?bcp? DTS? or others?thanks a lot

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an SSIS package that pulls data from a MYSQL DB (Using RSSBus for Salesforce in SSIS to accomplish this). Most of the columns are loading properly, but I have many columns that I need to convert.
I have been using the Data Conversion dataflow task in SSIS to convert the rows.
I have 2 data conversions that work on most of the columns, but the DESCRIPTION column continues to return an error saying "Cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode types", regardless of what I choose on the Data Conversion task. So, basically I want to dump this column data into a SQL table with NVARCHAR datatypes. Here is what I am doing in my SSIS package...
1) Grab subset of data from SOURCE
2) Converts to TEXTSTREAM. (Data Conversion)
3) Converts to STRING. (Data Conversion)
4) Load Destination table. (OLE DB Destination)
I have also tried to simply convert the values to STRING, but that doesn't work either.
So, I have 2 Data Conversions working here that process most of the data correctly. What I can do to load the DESCRIPTION column?
Hi guys and gals,
I've had some great headaches with SSIS this morning, which I have managed to get a workarounds for, but I'm not happy with them so I've come to ask for advice.
Basically, I am exporting data from an SQL Server database into an Excel spreadsheet and hitting issues with unicode and non-unicode data types.
For example, I have a column that is char(6) and have added a data conversion step to the data flow, which converts it to type DT_WSTR and then everything works!
However, this seems like a completely un-neccessary step as I should be able to do the conversion in T-SQL - but no matter what I try I keep getting the same problem.
SELECT Cast(employee_number As nvarchar(255)) As [employee_number]
FROM employee
WHERE forename = 'george'
ErrorValidation error. details: 1 [1123]: Column "employee_number" cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types.
I know I have a solution (read: workaround) but I really don't want to do this everytime!
Any suggestions for what else to try?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have undertaken the following process to convert a database to unicode support. This is sql 2000 SP4
- Create a new database dbnew
- Script the old database dbold with all objects, everything, and dependencies
- Global replace varchar with nvarchar (etc etc) in the script
- Execute the script to create all objects into dbnew
- (Objects all exist fine)
- Startup DTS and choose olddb as the source, newdb as the destination
- On DTS step 3 choose "Copy Objects and Data between Sql Server Databases"
- Untick "Create destination objects"
- Change copy data to append data (all tables in dbnew are empty)
- Tick copy all objects
- Untick "Use default options" and clear every option (so hopefully we are only copying data)
- Click next and run
DTS gets through the first "phase" to 100% but then it fails on a duplicate key error on a table that has a unique key on its (now nvarchar) description field
Yet in Query Analyser I can do "insert into failingtable select * from olddb..failingtable" and the data comes across fine.
So why is it failing in DTS ? And are there any other options or settings I can try ?
thanks
Since the .net oracle providers are the only ones that work in x64 it is extremely annoying that it insists on mapping ALL varchar columns in oracle to wstring. Is there a way to fix this? The oledb providers don't have this problem but I don't like being forced to use the 32 bit runtime as a workaround.

I have another situation in which I have a source table with non unicode columns where the data needs to be copied to an MS Access 2000 table. As far as I know, the Access columns that hold string data can only be unicode.
Is there a way, maybe with a code page, that I can catch any conversion problem on any column without having to explicitly address every problem column in a derived column or data conversion transform? Probably not, but I thought I'd check.
Thank you for your help!

I'm having data converted to unicode and I don't understand why.
My Sybase server is configured with the standard Latin CP1252 character set and my source column is varchar(2000). My understanding is this should not be unicode in Sybase.
My SQL Server 2005 SP2 is configured with the standard SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation. Again, my understanding is this should not be unicode.
I'm connecting to Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere 9.0.2 from SSIS SP2 via the Data Reader Source using the .Net ODBC data provider.
My SQL Server destination column is a varchar(2000) column. To me, it looks like I'm going from one equivalent data type to another yet I receive the 'cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode data types' message.
Now, I can get around this in several different ways, but that's not my question. My question is: WHERE is the conversion to unicode occuring and WHY is it occuring?
Hi everybody,
View 13 Replies View RelatedWe've installed the Oracle provider for OLE DB on SQL Server 2005, which has the default collation (SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS), and we've created a linked server for the Oracle 9.2.0.5 database, which has AL32UTF8 as the database character set. We can successfully insert strings into VARCHAR2 columns on Oracle from SQL Server via EXEC SP_EXECUTESQL('INSERT OPENQUERY(...) VALUES(...)') -- as long as the strings (whether selected from NVARCHAR columns on SQL Server or specified as literals with the N prefix during testing) only contain Windows-1252 characters.
If the SQL statement contains a character above U+00FF, the string on the Oracle side is incorrectly/doubly encoded; there are nearly (but not exactly) 4 bytes per character instead of the 1 or 2 you'd expect from ASCII/Latin-1 characters encoded as UTF-8.
We've tried reconfiguring the linked server: collation compatible = false, use remote collation = true, and collation name = Latin1_General_BIN2. But that had no effect.
What is the correct way to do this?
Thanks!

I'm trying to extract some data from a table in oracle. The oracle table stores date and time seperately in 2 different columns. I need to merge these two columns and import to sql server database.
I'm struggling with this for a quite a while and I'm not able to get it working.
I tried the oracle query something like this,
SELECT
(TO_CHAR(ASOFDATE,'YYYYMMDD')||' '||TO_CHAR(ASOFTIME,'HH24:MM : SS')||':000') AS ASOFDATE
FROM TBLA
this gives me an output of 20070511 23:06:30:000
the space in MM : SS is intentional here, since without that space it appread as smiley

I am working on a project to write SSIS packages to update a SQL Server 2005 database with data from an Oracle 10g database. Unfortunately, our development ETL box is running 32 bit Windows Server 2003 while the production ETL box is running 64 bit Itanium Windows Server 2003. We have created SQL Server Agent jobs to execute all of our packages. All of our jobs run without error on the 32 bit development box, but in our preproduction tests they are failing in the 64 bit box.
In my testing, I've found that I can successfully pull character data from Oracle. For example, I can write a package that retrieves the data for the following query:
SELECT 'test' FROM dual
However, the following fails:
SELECT 1 FROM dual
I have logging turned on in my package. When the package fails, I typically see informational messages in the log up to the point of failure, but no actual error event logs are generated. The only error information I have is in the SQL Server Agent job history log, which contains the following:
Executed as user: SERVERNAMESYSTEM. The return value was unknown. The process exit code was
-2147483646. The step failed.
I have also tried using the 64 bit version of the DTS Wizard to create a sample package, and observe the same behavior. When I run the DTS Wizard, queries that return numeric data cause DTSWizard.exe to exit and produce the following message in the application event log:

Hi Guys, I have this statement that I am converting from Oracle to SQL. Help pls:-) PP_PRICEPOINT_ID is a decimal. What is the appropriate usage..
Oracle
-------------
update pricepoint set pp_type = decode(substr(pp_pricepoint_id,1,1),7,0,2),
pp_qtybreakindex =substr(pp_pricepoint_id,3,1) where pp_type is null and pp_qtybreakIndex is null;
Here is its SQL
-----------------
UPDATE pricepoint
SETpp_type =
CASE SUBSTRING(pp_pricepoint_id, 1, 1)
WHEN 7 THEN 0
ELSE 2
END,
pp_qtybreakindex = SUBSTRING(pp_pricepoint_id, 3, 1)
WHERE pp_type is null
ANDpp_qtybreakIndex is null
----------------
I am getting the error
The data type decimal is invalid for the substring function. Allowed types are: char/varchar, nchar/nvarchar, and binary/varbinary.
Something went a bit wrong. Converted Oracle 10g to Sql Server 2000.
Now, in the schema there is a column that allows nulls.
In Oracle if you look at the column, you see NULL.
However if I look at the same created in Sql Server it actually does not have a <NULL> value there.
When the conversion was done however, all of these NULLs from Oracle came across into Sql Server with the actual value of <NULL>.
This causes the problem that these objects are now no longer displayed within my application. They show up fine using Oracle, and if I use Sql Server from the start it is fine -- the column is just blank, not acutally NULL. I can force the <NULL> value by doing the ctrl+0 on the field, and that breaks it as well.
The column has to allow nulls, but the actual value cannot be <NULL> (in Sql Server). Any suggestions on getting rid of the NULL - I could do an update, but it actually just has to be blank rather than having a value. I tried an update to set it to ' ' but that didn't really work - here was my statement:
update [table] set [columnname] = '' where [columnname] = '<NULL>'
Any other suggestions besides try again? But if it has to be 'try the conversion again' then that's the answer.
Thanks much
Hi Friends,
Need ur help desperately. I am stuck with one of the queries which i had written in Oracle and need the same in SQL Server.Please have a look at the following query :
select * from r_tin_1099_info where instr(translate( nm_ctrl_cd , '~!@#$%^&*()_+}{":?><`-=]['''';/., ', '*******************************' ),'*') > 0;
Basically my purpose is to replace the values in column NM_CTRL_CD having wild card characters with '*' and then select this rows to display.
However i am not able to run the same query in SQL Server since TRANSLATE is not a built in func. I have tried a lot to replace it but could only one func : REPLACE . But the same will not replace any one of the above wild characters but will replace the entire pattern.Please note that it should be able replace even if one of the wild card characters are present in the string and not necessarily the entire pattern shown above.
please reply ASAP since i am working and need this query to fix a defect.
Thanks in advance.
