Memo Field Da Access Into Varchar SQL Server
Oct 2, 2007I'm having some problems importing data from a memo column (Access) into varchar column in SQL Server.
My idea was to use slowly changing dimesion to identify modified and new rows. No matter what data type I use to convert the memo column (using Data Conversion Transformation) and then using the converted column in SCD, I get the following error :
'The SCD transform does not allow mapping between columns of different types except for DT_STR and DT_WSTR.'
What do I have to do to get Memo column 'to behave' as a string?
Same problem with a different data type - decimal (18,5) in sql server - no matter what datatype I use in Data Conversion Trans, I get the same error trying to generate scd.
Thank you for your answers.
DTS Import Of MDB In SQL Server 2000 Drops Memo Field Data
May 22, 2006I have used DTS in SQL Server 2000 to import an MDB filed (MS ACCESS) of a table. When the table is imported the primary key is lost and the memo field data is completely gone.
I use the tranformation option in the DTS wizard to add the primary key and make sure the data type for the memo field is varchar and has a size of 8000. I need that large size since I am storing lots of html code.
When I preview the data I see the html code that is supposed to get imported. However, when I return all rows from the table in Enterprise Manager the field is empty.
So I tried to manually copy the data from the MS Access Database into SQL Server. Could not figure out if SQL Server has an interface like MS Access to simply copy data into a table. So I linked to the tables from MS Access to the SQL Server table.
When I opened the linked table I see the data in the description field. However, if I return the rows from within SQL Server no data is present.
I have some ASP code trying to read the data in the SQL Server table. However, nothing is returned and when I run the SQL Statement, nothing gets returned. The SQL statement returns all rows. All the other data is present but nothing in the description field.
What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions anyone, please!

A Substitute For UNION?
Feb 19, 2007I'd like to change query:SELECT DM.*, 'condition1', NULL FROM DMWHERE (condition1)UNIONSELECT DM.*, NULL, 'condition2' FROM DMWHERE (condition2)to one SELECT like thisSELECT DM.*, WasCondition1, WasCondition2 FROM DMWHERE (condition1) or (condition2)but how to fill in the WasConditionX column?The UNION version was bad because in case a row fulfilled 2conditions, it was repeated instead of joining them, such like this:SELECT DM.*, 'condition1', 'condition2' FROM DMWHERE condition1 AND condition2UNIONSELECT DM.*, 'condition1', NULL FROM DMWHERE condition1 AND NOT condition2UNIONSELECT DM.*, NULL, 'condition2' FROM DMWHERE NOT condition1 AND condition2or (say DM has columns A, B, C):SELECT A, B, C, SUM(cond1), SUM(cond2) FROM(SELECT DM.*, 1 AS cond1, 0 AS cond2 FROM DMWHERE condition1UNIONSELECT DM.*, 0 AS cond1, 1 AS cond2 FROM DMWHERE condition2) AS DMGROUP BY A, B, C

View 4 Replies View RelatedDoes SQL Substitute Float = 0 With DBNull.Value?
Mar 11, 2004Hi
I have only been coding in .Net for about six months, and am not sure if this is a C# problem or an SQL one. I use the Data Access Application Block in my program.
I have two optional fields on my form (RangeFrom and RangeTo). If the user chooses not to enter data into these textboxes(textbox = ""), an entry on the db is created with null values. It works.
But sometimes the user wants to enter 0 as either an upper or lower end of a range. This is where my problem comes in. My program saves 0 as null too.
In my program I do a test on the textboxes and populate two float values in a business object (objQuestion) accordingly, like this:
if (txtrangefrom.Text != "") {
objQuestion.RangeFrom=float.Parse(txtrangefrom.Text);
objQuestion.RangeTo=float.Parse(txtrangeto.Text);
}
else {
objQuestion.RangeFrom=Convert.ToSingle(null);
objQuestion.RangeTo=Convert.ToSingle(null);
}
And this is what my Business object look like. It sets up the parameters and calls the Data Access Application Block to create an entry in my table:
// fieldslist
float cvintRangeFrom;
float cvintRangeTo;
//properties
public float RangeFrom {
get {
return cvintRangeFrom;
}
set {
cvintRangeFrom = value;
}
}
public float RangeTo {
get {
return cvintRangeTo;
}
set {
cvintRangeTo = value;
}
}
// some code deleted for readability....
public int AddOption() {
string cvstrSpName = "addOption";
SqlParameter [] cvstrStoredParams = SqlHelperParameterCache.GetSpParameterSet(gcstrConnectionString, cvstrSpName, true);
//lines deleted for readability...
//check if the optional fields have a value associated with them. if not, assign dbnull.value.
cvstrStoredParams[4].Value=(cvintRangeFrom != Convert.ToSingle(null) ? cvintRangeFrom : (object)DBNull.Value);
cvstrStoredParams[5].Value=(cvintRangeTo != Convert.ToSingle(null) ? cvintRangeTo : (object)DBNull.Value);
//lines deleted for readability...
SqlHelper.ExecuteNonQuery(gcstrConnectionString, CommandType.StoredProcedure, cvstrSpName, cvstrStoredParams);
return(cvintOptionID = Convert.ToInt32(cvstrStoredParams[0].Value));
}
I use Convert.ToSingle when working with nulls (or possible nulls) because I get an error when I use float.parse for this.
The thing is, after this method AddOption has been executed, I test the value if the business object's rangefrom (that is where I entered 0) and display it on my form. I still shows a 0, but on my database table it is null!
objQuestion.AddOption();
//txtrangefrom.Text=""; on the next line I test the value in the business object...
txtrangefrom.Text=objQuestion.RangeFrom.ToString(); // and this displays 0!!!
//txtrangeto.Text="";
txtrangeto.Text=objQuestion.RangeTo.ToString();
So to me it seems the problem seems to be either the DAAB or on the SQL side, but hopefully somebody can prove me wrong! I was thinking that it could also be float.parse/Convert.ToSingle methods and have done various tests, but I am none the wiser...
Any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated...
Substitute For Temporary Table?
Jun 2, 2006Hello once again,
My last question concerns (temporary) tables. In a web form (VWD Express, Asp,Net 2.0, VB, .mdf db, Ajax) I have two gridviews. One gets its data from textboxes and dropdownlists as the user clicks an ok button. This data is then sent to a "junk" table in the db. The other gridview retrieves this data "automatically" and displays the data, filtered and grouped by some SQL statements. When the user finally clicks an Insert record button, the data from this second gridview gets inserted in another table in the db and the data from the first "junk" table is disposed.
I guess it shouldn't be necessary to insert, retrieve, and delete the data in and from the "junk" table. Even though it does work like a charm, I guess it would be better if I could do it wit hsome kind of "temporary table", array or the like so that the db wouldn't need to be updated to this extent. Still, I really like the simplicity of using gridviews and the rest of the page's code is complex enough, so I don't really want to substitute this behaviour for tons of hand-written, hard-to-follow, and hard-to-integrate code.
What are my options? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Access Memo Field To SQL Server Text Field
Nov 19, 2006Hi,
I'm importing an Access database to SQL Server 2000.
The issue I ran into is pretty frustrating... All Memo fields that get copied over (as Text fields) appear to be fine and visible in SQL Server Enterprise Manager... except when I display them on the web via ASP - everything is blank (no content at all).
I didn't have that problem with Access, so I ruled out the possibility that there's something wrong with the original data.
Is this some sort of an encoding problem that arose during database import?
I would appreciate any pointers.
MS Access Memo Field To SQL Server Text Field
Aug 20, 2006Hi all,
i've a reasonable amount of experience with MS Access and less
experience with SQL Server. I've just written an .NET application that
uses an SQL Server database. I need to collate lots of data from around
the company in the simplest way, that can then be loaded into the SQL
Server database.
I decided to collect the info in Excel because that's what most people
know best and is the quickest to use. The idea being i could just copy
and paste the records directly into the SQL Server database table (in
the same format) using the SQL Server Management Studio, for
example.
Trouble is, i have a problem with line feed characters. If an Excel
cell contains a chunk of text with line breaks (Chr(10) or Chr(13))
then the copy'n'paste doesn't work - only the text up to the first line
break is pasted into the SQL Server database cell. The rest is not
pasted for some reason.
I've tried with MS Access too, copying and pasting the contents of a
memo field into SQL Server database, but with exactly the same problem.
I've tried with 'text' or 'varchar' SQL Server database field formats.
Since i've no experience of using different types of databases
interacting together, can someone suggest the simplest way of
transferring the data without getting this problem with the line feeds?
I don't want to spend hours writing scripts/programs when it's just
this linefeed problem that is preventing the whole lot just being
cut'n'pasted in 5 seconds!
cheers

Can *datastore.xml Be Used To Populate Template.ini As A Substitute For Setup.iss?
May 2, 2006Objective
Do a manual installation of SQL Server 2005 (which could be an upgrade from SQL Server 2000) and record the steps. Replay the steps for an unattended installation of SQL Server 2005.
Problem
There isn't a setup.ini file for SQL Server 2005. There is a template.ini for unattended installations of SQL Server 2005, but it doesn't obviously map to selections on manual installation dialog boxes.
Desired workaround
Capture the steps of a manual installation and use them to populate template.ini.
Relevant background for a potential solution
A manual installation creates log files. So does an unattended installation. But the unattended installation writes all of the log files into a single zip file.
What is important to know is that an unattended installation creates an additional file, a *datasource.xml file. This XML file is found in the zip file with all of the other log files. If you open this XML file, you'll see that the attribute names correspond to keywords in template.ini.
Potential solution
If a manual installation could be forced to generate a *datasource.xml file, then it should be possible to map the settings in the file to keywords in template.ini.
So, how can a *datasource.xml file be created? In post http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=359678&SiteID=1, Jeffrey Baker says "add LOGNAME=<path to cab> and run setup again". Unfortunately, these instructions are too vague. Where is this added? To the command line, to a setup.ini (if so, in which directory, and in which section should he addition be made?). I did lots of searches and couldn't find the answers.
T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Substitute Hour Part Of Datetime Field?
Apr 27, 2015I have a table with a datetime field (named "lnDateDone") and an integer field (named "PlannedHour"). I want to build a new datetime field with the same value as lnDateDone and replacing the hour part by the PlannedHour field. Example:
lnDateDone = '2014-04-09 13:22:31.544'
HourPlanned = 14
new datetime field = '2014-04-09 14:00:00'
I tried the following:
CAST(SUBSTRING(CAST(lnDateDone AS VARCHAR(25)),1,12) + CAST(PlannedHour AS VARCHAR(2)) + SUBSTRING(CAST(lnDateDone AS VARCHAR(25)), 15, LEN(lnDateHeureFin)) AS SMALLDATETIME) AS DatePrevue
but it won't work when casted in DateTime format, only in varchar, but I want it in datetime as I need to do compute some values using date manipulation functions.
How can I do that?

Access Memo Fields To Sql
Oct 11, 2000I have an access database that I am about to move over to SQL Server. In there I have member table that has a memo field. This table has the potential to grow quite big. My question is: what issues does having a large text field have on my database. Will it slow down my updates, searches or inserts? I plan on using this field for such things like a biography of the member. Is using a text field the best way to go, or should I look at text files instead? Many thanks,
