Upgrade VS2005 To 2008 And CE3.01 To 3.5 : Different Data Types Woes

Feb 13, 2008

Hi,
I am having the following problem AFTER converting to VS2008 from VS2005 and SQLCE 3.5 from 3.01:
SQL CE 3.5 db file has a table called Court0 with various columns of type float. I populate the values by copying floats from another table/tables. I do this via ado.net using this code snippet:

foreach (DataColumn column in this.mycourtsDataSet1.Tables[tableName].Columns)
{
string columnName = column.ColumnName.ToString();
string columnValue = aRow[0][columnName].ToString();
object cValue = aRow[0][columnName];

if (columnName.Remove(1) == "T" && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(columnValue))
{
// Add the value to the Court0 table.
DataRow[] bRow = this.mycourtsDataSet1.Tables["Court0"].Select("BookingPeriod = '" + columnName + "'");
if (bRow.Length > 0)
{
double colValue = Convert.ToDouble(cValue);
//bRow[0][tableName] = Convert.ToInt32(columnValue);
========> bRow[0][tableName] = colValue; <==== colValue is '1055.01'
}
}
}
}
This works fine in VS2005/CE3.01 BUT not in VS2008/CE3.5
In CE3.5, the value entered into the cell looses it's decimal value.
For example, '1055.01' becomes '1055.0' in CE3.5 .
Can someone explain to me why the conversion stuffs up in CE3.5 and what do I do to fix it.
Thanks,

SqlCe Ntext Data Types And VS2005

Jun 28, 2007

I have an application where I'm trying to store xml data in a db field defined as ntext. I have a dataset and table adapter setup in VSNet 2005 and SqlCe 3.1. When I look at the table adapter in the VS designer it shows the field with a type of String and a size of 2147483647 which appears to be correct. Also, if I look at the code generated by the MSDataSetGenerator tool it shows the parameter defined in the same way as in the following
param = new System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeParameter();
param.ParameterName = "@Questions";
param.Size = 2147483647;
param.IsNullable = true;
param.SourceColumn = "Questions";
this._commandCollection[2].Parameters.Add(param);

My problem is that when I run the application and try to insert an item into this column the application throws an exception related to corrupted memory. Trying to debug the problem I found at run time, the param.Size value for the ntext parameter had been set to 255. Since the specific xml I was trying to insert was 410 characters in length I'm guessing that this is what is causing the crash.

Is the expected behavior (the setting of the size to 255 that is)?
If not, am I missing some trick here?

Thanks
Neil

Data Access :: 2008 R2 - Format All Money Types

Aug 13, 2015

I've got several columns in my database stored as money type.  For my purposes, when reporting this data I need to truncate trailing zeros after the decimal.  I know I can create a function to do this.  I think given the quantity of columns and the numerous queries accessing them, I will undoubtedly forget to use a function everywhere needed.

I thought user defined types may be a solution. I've never used them before. I would still like to store the data as a money type, but anytime it is accessed it would be formatted. Can user defined types do this, or is there a better way?

One Or More Columns Do Not Have Supported Data Types, Or Their Data Types Do Not Match.

Oct 20, 2007



Hi,

I´m exporting an ms-excel file, then I use a lookup transformation to get a field from a SQL Server 2005 table. The Lookup transformation editor, after selecting the table, shows a warning that says:

at least one mapping between a column from available input columns ans a column from available lookup columns must be defined on the columns page.

So I try to make a relationship in the Lookup transformation editor's column tab where I find the Available input columns and the available lookup columns but I get the following error:

The following columns cannot be mapped:
[Department, DEP_CLEGALCODE]
One or more columns do not have supported data types, or their data types do not match.

The field in SLQ Server is varchar(10) and the input field is a derived column transformation; I have tried different Data Types but I always have the same error.

The DataFlow is: ExcelSource --> Derived Column --> Lookup --> Flat file destination

thanks.

VS 2008 Upgrade 3.1 To 3.5

Nov 21, 2007

The RTM bits provide an upgrade capability.
My first stab at this with a 450mb .sdf was illuminating.
The process grinds away, writes out the new .sdf and then, just as it completes and raises it's 'successfully completed' banner, it deletes the new .sdf!
Tried both with and without encryption. Made no difference. No, it's not in the recycle bin either, or anywhere else on the drive.
How cool of an upgrade feature is that?

Can't Open My SQL CE Database After Upgrade To VS 2008

May 10, 2008



I've just upgraded my app from .Net 2.0 in VS 2005 to 3.5 in VS 2008, but now I can't open my SQL CE database any more. It falls over on the connection.Open() method, saying I need to run Compact /Repair if this is 3.0 or 3.1 version database (which it is, or was). So I run the compact/repair (full compaction) and it doesn't help at all. I also tried running the upgrade.exe tool that comes with SQL Server CE, but when I try to run it from the command line, it tells me it can't run in Win32 mode! I didn't think it was! Does that mean I can only run it from a DOS prompt before loading the OS or something? There's something on MSDN that says you can upgrade by opening a connection to the CE database in Server explorer and then you'll get a dialog that will upgrade the database for you. But that doesn't happen - it just happily connects. Anyone know what the hell is going on here?

Update: I just noticed in the excpetion message that the "requested version" is 3004180, i.e., it seems to be asking for a 3.0 version database and getting a 3.5 version one, but I can't work out why. Here's the exception, with stack trace etc snipped:

System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeException was unhandled
Message="You are trying to access an older version of a SQL Server Compact Edition database. If this is a SQL Server CE 1.0 or 2.0 database, run upgrade.exe. If this is a SQL Server Compact Edition 3.0 or later database, run Compact / Repair. [ Db version = 3505053,Requested version = 3004180,File name = F:\dotNET projects\Word Learner\bin\Debug\Words.sdf ]"

Reference To Data.System.SqlServerCe In VS2005 Does Not Install CE 2.0 To Emulator/PDA

Feb 3, 2006

We have a Compact Framework 1.1 application that uses Sql Server CE 2.0. In VS2003, a reference to System.Data.SqlServerCe causes the Sql Server CE dlls and Query Analyzer to install to the Emulator or PDA.

I am currently converting the application to Compact Framework 2.0, but we are not upgrading to Sql Server Mobile (yet). However, the reference to System.Data.SqlServerCe, in VS 2005, no longer causes Sql Server CE to install to the PDA/Emulator.

There is a difference in the build outputs between VS2003 & VS2005. In 2003, System_SR_enu.cab, sqlce.wce4.x86.cab & sqlce.dev.wce4.x86.cab are copied & lanuched. In 2005, only System_SR_enu.cab is copied... no launch.

Any ideas? Reinstall VS2005?

Reporting Services :: Table Data Types For Data Driven Subscriptions

Jun 11, 2015

I am trying to find a reference for a client that lists the fields available to be substituted into a data driven subscription from the query, along with the expected data types.  For example, the field on whether or not to include a link to the report seems to be expecting a bit data type.I have searched and can't seem to find anything.  I guess I could walk through the interface and try different data types, but if  a list exists, that would be better.

Data Access :: Validation For Length Of The Character Data Types

Jun 10, 2015

I Have a table with #Sample like below

=================================
#Sample
id int,
SSN varchar(20),
State varchar(2)
 
Sample Data:

ID SSN STATE
1 999-000-000 AB
2 979-000-000 BC
3 995-000-000 CD
=================================

We used filter logic based on the SSN & State.

We are passing these values through variables like

Declare @State varchar(2)
Declare @SSN varchar(20)

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?

Modifying Data Column Names And Data Types

Mar 13, 2008

I'm in the process of converting a rather huge VSAM database into a set of SQL tables.
I am using the same data names from the mainframe (like XDB-NAME to RDB-NAME).
I load the files using Import Export Data and it makes the tables with such column names as col001, col002, col003, etc... and always sets the data types to varchr(255).
And I have to cut and paste the data names from the manframe side to the server side (and the data types to.) 
So, is there an easier way to do this? Or am I doomed to cut-n-paste my days away...
Thanks for any help.

Sql Types - Simple SQL Server Queries/handling Variable Types

May 26, 2005

SQL Server 2000, ASP.Net 1.1

I've been writing this stuff for a while, and can't seem to come to the
conclusion of how I should be retrieving data and assigning this data
to variables.

Since i'm using SQL Server, I'm convinced that I should be using the
datareaders GetSqlDouble (or whatever) function, but this would mean i
need my local variables to be one of the SQL types.  The problem
with that is, that there will have to be lots of conversions done by me
to be able to use a SQL type in my application.

For instance, I have a class where i'm retrieving dates.  In order
to retrieve them correctly (Null values included), I need to retrieve
them with GetSqlDateTime(), then when it comes time to display the date
in a table, i must first check for nulls, then convert to a
string.  This seems to be very cumbersome.  Would I be better
off just using GetDateTime(), and the .ToString method, and ignoring
Sql Types all together?

so, basically, how are you guys using your sql server data?  with
the supplied sql types, and doing all of the post-processing work
manually?  I feel like i'm having trouble conveying my
issue...hopefully someone knows what i mean....i'd just like some
direction to save trouble in the long run, since i feel like there's
got to be a better way...

Confused!

Thanks,
JJ

Copying Data From One Table To A New One With Some Different Data Types

Mar 30, 2007

Is it possible to easily copy data from one table to another if the data types don't match.   I know you can do a INSERT INTO table1(col1,col2)  SELECT (col2,col7) FROM table2 if the data types match but is there a way to do this if they don't. I'm not trying to copy date times into bit fields or anything.  I just have an old table that I built when I really didn't know what I was doing now I at leastthink I have a better understanding of what data types to use, so I was wanting to move the data in the orignal table to my new one.  Most of the fields in the olddatabase are text datatypes and the new database is nvarchar(50) data types.  Thanks for any suggestions.

SQL Data Types

Dec 29, 2004

Hello,

I have a really dumb question regarding SQL data types. I have a couple columns in a table that are specified as MONEY. These columns are being read from my web app and displayed on the website for reference when filling in other information.

My problem is that when it is displayed on the website it give four decimal places instead of two. For example I want it to report $33,000.29 but what is actually displayed is $33,000.2965.

How can I set up either SQL or my web app so that it only displays the two decimal places? I've looked into changing the datatype already but SMALLMONEY and MONEY have the same type of decimal values.

Thanks!

SQL 7 Data Types

Oct 2, 2000

I'm just getting used to using SQL 7 Database and am looking for some recommendations on what DATA TYPES to use when designing tables.

The site I am working on now uses cold fusion to enter, update, and insert mainly text and articles. Now the problem with the articles is that some of them are pretty big. And when inserting or updating them, if they go over the limit of characters I get an error.

I know in access I used to use the data type "MEMO" and be able to put a large piece of info in that field.

What's the equivalent for SQL server databe?

What are the most used/common or recommended data types that should be used when putting tables together?

Thanks

Need Help With Data Types

May 10, 2007

Hi,

I am pretty new with SQL and was dabbling in a test database that is linked with a software application.

I made a change to a table - Lets call this (Table1).
Table1 has a multiple columns.

Column1 is defined as numeric(9)
Column2 is defined as varchar(20)

In this case, I wanted to make all values in Column2 = Column1 that did not have a value defined so I ran the following query:

update Table1 set Column2 = Column1 where Column2 = ''

This took effect but the particular software application doesn't recognize these values because they are the wrong data type.

How can I convert all data in a column to varchar(20) if it is another data type (i.e. in this case numeric(9))?

I've tried in Enterprise manager to redesign the table and adjusted the length to 21 and then back and saved it but this did not work. I was looking at Convert and Cast functions but don't know how to write one to accomplish what I need to do here.

Half of the data in Column2 is varchar(20) and half is numeric(9).
I want all to be varchar(20).

Thanks,

asyncd

Different Data Types

Jan 4, 2007

I have successfully made a couple of SSIS packages to read data from a legacy AS400 to SQL Server 2005. These are working fine. I am now working on one that is trying to pull some financial data and I keep getting the following error for the decimal columns:

"The component ciew is unavailable. Make sure the component view has been created. The input column "input column AMT1 (2870) cannot be mapped to "external metadata column AMT1(2852) because they have different data types."

Now I made sure that the data sitting on the AS400 is of type decimal and the SQL server column is the same. What else do I need to look for?

Thanks for the information.

Hello, I am following this article about building an ASP.Net application which uses SQL Express 2005. The document calls for building a couple of tables. One column is identified with data type of "Byte" which are is available for selection within the Visual Studio 2005 interface. The following values show in the drop down of data type in VS2005:

Bigint
Binary(5)
Bit
Char(10)
DateTime
Decimal (18,0)
Float
Image
Int
Money
NChar(10)
NText
Numeric(18,0)
Nvarchar(50)
Nvarchar(max)
Real
SmallDateTime
SmallInt
SmallMoney
Sql_Variant
Text
Timestamp
TinyInt
UniqueIdentifier
Varbinary(50)
VarBinary(max)
varchar(10)
Varchar(max)
XML

I choose Char with a size of 1. Would this be correct, or am I missing something?



Thanks in advance for your assistance!!
