About Sys.Types
Nov 29, 2007
in my work I use some "objects", that i tune using "Parameters"
So i have table MyObjects And ObjectParameters-OP
In the table OP i want field for Parameter Type(Type)... now i using type Varchar(63) and then i need for parameters of money type, i will get it by SELECT * FROM ObjectParameters WHERE Type = 'money'...
at the sql.ru i got an answer, where they suggest me using type "sysname", in MSDN i have found that it is equivalent nvarchar(128), i a cant find any differences between my solution and sql.ru solution.
AND main question is.. can i using ID for my types from View sys.types, And can i be sure that it will be the same ID in another version SQL Server (like 2000, 2008) or another installation of SQL Server for same type...
sorry if i have misstakes in my english...
Thanks In Advance...

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

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.

Hi,
When creating a database in the Management Studio, you get to select the database owner, and should that be usually the Administrator and ASPNET account?Also, what is this Object Types option for? There seem to be only one "Login" option in there, what does that serve as?

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!

Hi,
I am getting this error: {"XML parsing: line 1, character 43, unable to switch the encoding"} System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException when I run the code below.
I know it is caused by the fact that the encoding of the XML file I'm trying to insert is not utf-16, but rather utf-8. However I would like to be able to enter any encoding. Is this possible?
If not is there a way to convert the encoding before I insert? Or any other ideas anyone might have. Thanks!

I hope someone can help me.
I am running a visual basic program which creates a recordset based on a stored procedure. No matter what cursor type I set I always end up with a static cursor on my recordset. I think the stored procedure is over-writing the cursor type. As I know very little about TSQL, I don't know how to fix this.
Any Ideas?

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

Hello, dear Friends!
My situation is a following:
I have some not big databases with only English data and some conteining data in Hebrew.
My question is: May I manage two collation types- meaning the database collation type will be for example some kind of Latin and some databases' collation will be in Hebrew.
If you have any experience of managing DB's in two absolutely different languages (Japanesse, Russian, Chinesse, Arabic with English) please tell me about it.
Best regards.
Marina.:rolleyes:

I have a table that I want to use for reports that holds these datatypes
safe: Integer
unsafe: Integer
made_safe: Bit
unobserved: Bit
Which gets populated.
I want to count the values in each field but Bit fields seem to be awkward. This is my attempt
SELECT
SUM(safe)as TotalSafe,
SUM(unsafe)as TotalUnsafe,
COUNT(Case WHEN unobserved = 1 THEN 1 ELSE NULL END)as NotSeen,
COUNT(Case when made_safe = 1 THEN 1 ELSE NULL END) as TotalMadeSafe
FROM myTable
Any ideas please

is it possible to have several replication types within the same database?
for example, for two tables i want "merge replication" with a central server, where twice a day data is merged?
and for three other tables, i want "transactional replication" with a central server, where data is immediately inserted?

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

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!!

Hi,
I have seen on the internet that there are more chart types availlable then used by reporting services.
I have seen some pretty charts in exel 2007.
Are there possibilities to use such charts in RS.
I have also seen that you can purchase charts from special dev houses (like dundas).
So i think i must be able to create my own library with charts.
Any idea how i can do this ?

Having a slight problem. For whatever reason I had a column setup for nvchar but the only data i have in there is dates (MM/DD/YY) and a whole bunch of NULLs. I wanted to change the datatype to datetime but it gave me an error. I thought it was due to all the NULLs, so I removed all the nulls. It still doesn't work. I get the error : Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string.
I don't belive its because I have the data in mm/dd/yy format. I created another table and populated it with mm/dd/yy data as nvchar (50) and then converted to datetime and it worked fine.
any ideas?

Hey guys,
I have a table with the following information.
A1,A2,A3,A10,A11,A12,A14,A20,A21B1,B2,B3,B10,B11,B12,B14,B20,B21C1,C2,C3,C10,C11,C12,C14,C20,C21Now if I assign this field as a char,varchar,text field then when sorting it turns outA1,A10,A11,A12,A14,A2,A20 etc. So in order to go around this issue, I placed a blank ' ' (space) before the items that are less than 10 so that it'll sort as' A1', ' A2', ' A3' , 'A10' etc. However, now the problem is since the B and C series also have this space it actually sorts as' A1', ' A2', ' A3', ' B1', ' B2' ... 'A11','A12' etc. Now, I know why it is doing that. I'm trying to figure out if there is a solution to this issue. I've considered having two fields instead, one for the letter and another for the number, However, I need to display them together and I also need to do some reporting on these figures, so even if i concatenate the two fields together, it'll be a string field and sort by the same way. Any ideas?
