I have restore a SQL Server 2000 database in SQL Server 2005.
I have a web aplication that uses dll to talk to the database using ODBC - SQL Native Cliente provider.
I have a table with a key integer not null. The first element of my table has a key = 0.
When the asp page recive the record set the value of the key field is null, why???
If i use the query directly in the SQL Server the value of the key is 0.
Please help.
Hi,
I have a flat file that is read in by SSIS and then populates our db.
In this flat file there are blank spaces that represent null entries, which are date time values that we need to remain null but instead shows up in the table as the lowest date time value (1753)
Does SSIS automatically convert this since this is not done in our code?
Regards
Mike
Hi
can somebody explain me how I can assign a NULL value to a datetime type field in the script transformation editor in a data flow task.
In the script hereunder, Row.Datum1_IsNull is true, but still Row.OutputDatum1 will be assigned a value '0001-01-01' which generates an error (not a valid datetime). All alternatives known to me (CDate("") or Convert.ToDateTime("") or Convert.ToDateTime(System.DBNull.Value)) were not successful.
Leaving out the ELSE clause generates following error: Error: Year, Month, and Day parameters describe an un-representable DateTime.
If Not Row.Datum1_IsNull Then
Row.OutputDatum1 = Row.Datum1
Else
Row.OutputDatum1 = CDate(System.Convert.DBNull)
End If
Any help welcome.
Hey. I need to substitute a value from a table if the input var is null. This is fine if the value coming from table is not null. But, it the table value is also null, it doesn't work. The problem I'm getting is in the isnull line which is in Dark green color because @inFileVersion is set to null explicitly and when the isnull function evaluates, value returned from DR.FileVersion is also null which is correct. I want the null=null to return true which is why i set ansi_nulls off. But it doesn't return anything. And the select statement should return something but in my case it returns null. If I comment the isnull statements in the where clause, everything works fine. Please tell me what am I doing wrong. Is it possible to do this without setting the ansi_nulls to off??? Thank you
set ansi_nulls off
go
declare
@inFileName VARCHAR (100),
@inFileSize INT,
@Id int,
@inlanguageid INT,
@inFileVersion VARCHAR (100),
@ExeState int
set @inFileName = 'A0006337.EXE'
set @inFileSize = 28796
set @Id= 1
set @inlanguageid =null
set @inFileVersion =NULL
set @ExeState =0
select Dr.StateID from table1 dR
where
DR.[FileName] = @inFileName
AND DR.FileSize =@inFileSize
AND DR.FileVersion = isnull(@inFileVersion,DR.FileVersion)
AND DR.languageid = isnull(@inlanguageid,null)
AND DR.[ID]= @ID
)
go
set ansi_nulls on

I am trying to import data from CSV files into an SQL Server table using the Import wizard. The text qualifier is double quotes ("), column delimeter is a comma (,), first row has column names. One of the field name is "id", which is a GUID, whose datatype in SQL Server is uniqueidentifier. It looks like this in the file:
..."data","data","dbf7edf8-0ca8-4e53-91e3-5901cdc1819a","data"...
As you can see, there are no enclosing curly braces for the guid value. The DTS chokes on this and throws this error:
The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data
If I add curly braces like this {dbf7edf8-0ca8-4e53-91e3-5901cdc1819a}, it imports with no problem.
Is there way to import this type of data, because there is no way I can edit these files, and I would prefer not changing the datatype of the id field?
Or is this a limitation of SQL Server?
Thanks,Bullpit
can anyone teach me how to append to datetime data into one.the first is a date and the 2nd one is a time.the time is converted from string.thanks

I have a FoxPro dbf that includes From Milepost (f_mp) and To Milepost (t_mp) fields. These fields contain values between -1 and 9999.9999.
I don't have FoxPro installed, but when I attach the dbf to Access, I see the fields defined as datatype Double.
I have a SQL table that I'm trying to import the dbf data into. In that table the two fields are defined as datatype Real.
When I execute the task, it fails at the first milepost value with 4 digits to the left of the decimal point.
I read up on datatypes, then redefined the milepost fields as Floats, but nothing changed.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've searched the threads and didn't see anything which seemed to fit this specific issue....
I have a Data Flow task which reads from an OLE DB Source (SQL Server 2005), uses a Data Conversion transformation to convert some field values, and finally outputs the result to distinct tabs of an Excel workbook. The task is failing with the following error:
There was an error with input column "oBBCompanyName" (2162) on input "Excel Destination Input" (57). The column status returned was: "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
Using the Advanced Editor for the Excel Destination component, I examined the datatype of oBBCompanyName (ID = 2162) in the Input Columns list of the "Excel Destination Input" (identified with ID = 57). The Data Type is defined as DT_WSTR with Length = 255. The ExternalMetaDataColumnID = 203.
Also in the Advanced Editor for the Excel Destination, I examined the datatype of BBCompanyName (ID = 203) in the Extranl Columns list of the Excel Destination Input. The Data Type is defined as "Unicode String [DT_WSTR] with Length = 255.
What could I be overlooking that might be the root cause of this issue? The same error is occurring for different Excel Destination tasks in the data flow.
Kind regards,

Hi,
I am getting the error below in my Flat File Source.
I've seen this error many times before, and have successfully resolved this problem in the past.
However, this time it's a little different. It's complaining about row 7 of myFile.csv, column 20. I have column 20 defined as a Numeric(18,6). It also maps to the Price field in the table, which is also a Numeric(18,6).
The problem is, on row 7 of myFile, column 20 is blank. That is, there's no data for row 7, column 20.
So, why should it care about this?? If it's blank, then how can you lose any data?? I have several other blank columns in this file, but they aren't throwing any errors. Just this one.
Thanks

I am having a bit of a difficult trying to understand this one. I had imported two tables around 2-300 rows each ran this in 64 bit scheduled it and it ran okay. I now introduced a 3rd table which if I change the true64bit to false it will run however if left true it keeps mentioning the output column of descr with a loss of data.
I did move it to 32bit and then ran the package it comes up as below. If I rememeber I can run this in 32bit mode which I'm sure will work hmm maybe!! but what I can't understand is why it works for two tables? is it something to do with the translation of the table or do I need alter the select statement?

I have a query I developed and optimised as well as possible beforeconverting to a view.When running in query analyser the query runs in 15 to 18 seconds -which is acceptable.When "converting" into a view ( This is necessary for operationalreasons) and running with the same parameter it runs in 3 to 4minutes.Is there something I am unaware of ( well of course there is !!) -I was wondering why this occurs and how I can avoid / correct theissue.All advice gratefully received.Dave ( Still learning stuff about SQL Server every day!!)
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I'm having an issue with data from an OLE DB source being converted from numeric [DT_R8] to text when I export it to Excel. I had the column in the spreadsheet formatted as Numeric, but when I set it up as the data destination, it is showing in SSIS as [DT_WSTR].
The SSIS job runs OK, it just converts my numeric data to text in the spreadsheet. I'm surprised that the job actually runs, since I have to do explicit data conversions for my OLE DB string data in order to convert it to unicode. From what I have read elsewhere, the decision was made in SSIS not to use implicit data conversion, but to require explicit conversion. Yet this export is converting my numeric data to text.
I would appreciate any information on how to set up the Excel Destination to properly handle numeric information.
I have the following as part of a union query:
CONVERT(CHAR(8), r.RRDate, 1) AS [Date]
I also want to order by date but when I do that it doesn't order correctly because of the conversion to char data type (for example, it puts 6/15/05 before 9/22/04 because it only looks at the first number(s) and not the year). If I try to cast it back to smalldatetime in the order by clause it tells me that ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if the statement contains a UNION operator. I get the same message if I try putting just "r.RRDate" in the ORDER BY clause. It's not that big of a deal - I can lose the formatting on the date if I need to to get it to sort correctly, but this query gets used frequently and I'd like to keep the formatting if possible.
Thanks,
Dave

We did everything exactly what you have suggested us to do. The MDB file is now in Access 2003. BUT, BUT, the program, that was written over 12 years ago, does not understand the new file. It is not able to open the file. It seems that the old software only understands Access 1.0 or 1.1 MDB files. So, what can I do to with this old medical software, wery useful and practical, but unable to be upgraded with a newer data base file type?
Really, thanks for your kind help and excellent advices. You are the only chance that we have to solve this problem, so thanks again.

View 2 Replies View Related With my SSIS package, I want to import data from a flat file (TXT- delimited with ?) to a table in my database in sql server 2005. The problem is that I have a column of type datetime in my table. But as you know, the data in txt is string. First I created my package through importing data and using import/export wizard in management studio to my database and selecting flat file connection. There, I selected my txt file and column delimiter as ?, then suggested types for the columns. There it selects 8 byte signed integer type for the datetime column in my table. After these steps I create my package and execute it. But it does not put data in my table in the database. It gives the error of "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data" or "cast conversion failed" . I tried other types of date, timestamp, string but none of them was successful. What should I do to put data in my table from txts. Please can you help me urgently!!!
Thanks a lot
Hi,
I have a flat file that has a date column where the date fields look like 20070626, for example. No quotes.
The problem is that several of the date values are missing, and instead of the date value the field looks like this , ,
That is, there are several blank spaces where the date should be. The number of blank spaces between the commas doesn't appear to be a set number (and it could even be 8 blank spaces, I don't know, in which case I don't know if checking for the Len will produce the correct results, but that's another issue...)
So, similar to the numeric field blanks problem, I wrote a script to convert the field to null. This is the logic I used:
If Not Len(Row.TradeDate) = 8 Then
Row.TradeDate_IsNull = True
End If
The next step in my data flow after the script is a derived column where I convert TradeDate from 20070625 to 06/25/2007. So the exact error message I am receiving is this:
[OLE DB Destination [547]] Error: There was an error with input column "TradeDate - derived" (645) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (560). The column status returned was: "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
Do I need to add a conditional split after the script and BEFORE the derived column to redirect bad rows so they don't go to the derived column?
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks

Hi,
I am using SSRS to generate a 4 page statement...

Is there a way that SSRS can handle so many pages at one go without any problems... if so how ??

I am importing a text file with a column (serial numbers) with alphanumeric data, some mixed and some only numeric. The very large values that are all numeric are being converted to exponential when I run it thru an import package in SQL Server Integration Services (2005)
Ex. 4110041233214321 --> 4110040000000000 (displays as 4.11E+15)
In the past I dealt with this by importing the text file into Excel and changing the format of the column to number. This works even when many of the values contain alpha characters. I am not sure how to accomplish this same thing without going thru Excel. If you have any ideas on this I would be happy to hear from you.
