Numeric Datatype To Ssis Variable Datatype Conversion Problem
Apr 24, 2008
Good afternoon,
I have an issue with an ssis variable datatype.
The scenario is as follows:
I have a stored procedure:
PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_newTransaction]
@sourceSystem varchar(50),
@txOut NUMERIC(18,0) OUTPUT
AS
insert into scn_transaction (sourceSystemName) values(@sourceSystem);
SELECT @txOut = @@identity
Whose purpose is to perform an insert into a table and return me the identity value of the inserted record, which I'll then use throughout the rest of my package. The identity column in the inserted table is numeric(18,0).
I execute the stored proc with the following sql with an OLE DB connection manager:
exec sp_newTransaction ?, ?
The first parameter is a string variable from earlier in the package, and the second is the output parameter. I have the following parameter mappings to the execute sql task:
User:ystxId output numeric 1 -1
User:ourceSys input varchar 0 -1
The proc is correctly called, and the row insesrted, however I get a type conversion error when SSIS attempts to map the return parameter to my package variable... I've tried all sorts of combonations, and can't seem to get it to execute.
At one point I wasn't returning a numeric, but rather an int from the stored proc, and all was well until I went to use the variable in a derived column later in the package, and the type was converted quite incorrectly (a 1 was 77799789080 or some such), indicating a type conversion error likely related to the encoding of the number.
I'd like to keep the datatypes as numeric and make ssis use those - any pointers are greatly appreciated as to what type my package variable should be to allow proper assignment of a sql server numeric type to it.
Thanks much,
B
Convert Char Datatype To Datetime Datatype

I have a field in a table that stores date of birth. The field's datatype is char(6) and looks like this: 091703 (mmddyy). I want to convert this value to a datetime datatype.
What is the syntax to convert char(6) to datetime?
Thank you in advance.
Modify Nvarchar Datatype To Datatime Datatype
Mar 14, 2008Hi,
I imported a table from Accees to SQL 7 with data in it.
I need to modify one of the datatype columns to "datetime" from nvarchar.
I tried to convert it manually, in SQL Server Enterprise Manager tool, but it gave me an error.
I also tried, creating another column "DATE2-datatype:datetime" and updating the column with the old one.
UPDATE users SET DATE2 = DATE.. But it also faild,..
How can I modify the column?
Thank you.

How To Return Boolean Through SQL?
Jun 12, 2008I have a stored procedure that returns 1 or 0 as one of the column value. When i execute this stored proc and fill the Data Table in .Net, the data type of this column in Data Table is becomes integer not boolean. What should i return from stored procedure so that when i fill data table the column's datatype will be boolean NOT integer? or is there any way to change the DataType of the column in Data Table?

Mar 2, 2005I have a control with checkboxes. The checkbox.checked property returns a boolean value. If I want to insert a record into a table that has a corresponding column of type bit, how do I do it?
I triedCType(myChkBox.checked,String), which returns the strings "True" or "False". But, I get the errorThe name 'True' is not permitted in this context. Only constants, expressions, or variables allowed here. Column names are not permitted.I then tried "CAST(" & CType(myChkBox.checked,String) & ",bit)", but got the same error.
I can write a function that will return a 1 or a 0 but that seems ludicrous. Surely there must be a more elegant way to use the result of a checkbox in an SQL statement.
Thanks

Hi,
I have a Summary report and a Detail (drillthrough) report.
the summary report displays.
Summary report
Code Snippet
Adult | Male | Count
-----------------------------
Yes | Yes | 50
Yes | No | 9
No | Yes | 20
No | No | 50
------------------------------
| 129
When the user clicks on the hightlighted count it links to the Details report displaying each of the records referenced.
The detail report uses 2 boolean parameters Adult & Male, this works perfectly for the first 4 lines displayed, however if the user clicks on the total value to display all the records, i'm unable to provide the NULL value.
Any ideas?
Boolean Expressions
Nov 12, 2007I have a unusual problem, well it is unusual becaue i cannot understand it.
I am retrieving the following data, Revenue, Sales, Commission, and calculating Commission Rate in the report itself.
I got warnings that a textbox that was attempting to calculate the Commission Rate was trying to divide by zero.
When I analysed the data, I realised that indeed there were instances when Revenue was 0.00 and therefore when calculating the commission rate, commission/revenue it returned an error.
I then thought I'd do the following in the expression field
=iif((Fields!RevenueGbp.Value = 0.00), "Zero", (Fields!Commission.ValueGbp/Fields!RevenueGbp.Value))
However this does not work. However if i tried the following Boolean query
=iif((Fields!RevenueGbp.Value = 0.00), "Zero", Fields!CommissionGbp.Value)
it does work. In fact if I use any other identifier or use two field thats add, subtract or multiplied with each other it will work. The problem only arises is when I decide to divide two fields together.
Strangely if the condition is satisfied - [Fields!RevenueGbp.Value = 0.00] - it will still try to work out the division even though it should just return Zero!
Anyone help?

Where's The Boolean Data Type?
Jun 19, 2005Obviously, I'm new to SQL Server, because I'm still scratching my head wondering where in the world the boolean data type is. Can anyone please explain to me how boolean data types REALLY work in SQL Server? I've created a few Bit type fields, but when using a datagrid, they sometimes show up as 0 and 1 and sometimes as True/False, and I can't see a difference in how the grids (or fields(!)) are set up that would explain this. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Dynamic Boolean Searches AND, OR,
Jul 5, 2002Hi, I am looking for an easy and efficiant way to add a boolean search function to an already existing search i have using ASP pages and MSSQL 2000 SPROCS.
Currently I have some code such as:
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_name
@var1 int = NULL,
@var2 varchar(50) = NULL
AS
SELECT blah, blah, blah
FROM sometable INNER JOIN anothertable ON anID = anID
WHERE (table1.column2 = COALESCE(@var1,table1.column2) AND table2.column4 = COALESCE(@var2,table2.column4))
and this works like a charm, if i pass a value into @var1 or @var 2 it gives back results where those crietera match, or if I pass no values in it returns all records.... anyways, you get the idea...
Now I would like to add the ability to introduce a 3rd variable, and have it run a boolean search on a varchar(2500) column. This column is a description field for an image so I would like to be able to search the descriptions by passing in something like 'car OR bike AND travel' and return all the records that have the words 'car' or 'bike' and 'travel' somewhere in the description field.
How can i do this? I am using SQL Server Standard Edition so I don't believe I have full text search functions available, (not sure if that would even help).
Thanks all for your support and guidance!
P.S. i would also like to maintain the functinality so that if all the @var# are blank it still returns all records.

Boolean - Expanded/Collapsed
Jul 12, 2007I have created a matrix where I have booleans on the rows and columns. They are initially in the collapsed state. For reporting purposes, I would like the initial state to to be expanded or at list a quick fix to quickly convert the collapsed booleans to expanded booleans.
I have navigated to the Layout tab and right-clicked the fields that are tied to the boolean and then clicked on the properties. This bring sup the Textbox Properties. From here, I click on the Visibility tab. At the bottom of the textbox is a section "Initial appearance of the toggle image for this report item:". The default choice is marked as collapsed (+). One would logically think that you you would have to do then is select the expanded (-). choice. Well, when I do this, all it simply does is chance the icon from a '+' to a '-' and the fields are still shown as collapsed.
Any ideas on what I need to do?

SSIS Boolean Questions
Oct 24, 2006Please write YES/NO against point number in your answer i.e. for example:
1) YES, 2) YES, 3) NO, 4) YES etc.
We have source SQL Server 200 databases in one instance and target SQL Server 2005 in another instance both being on different windows 2000 server systems.
Target OLAP DB design is derived from source OLTP.
Most master & transaction tables are as is but some target tables are a result of merging source tables.
We need to do SSIS packages based migration using data flow task based on column mapping & queries using Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS). There are no transformations required.
1) Can I group packages under project into sub-groups i.e. super packages?
2) Can I execute a set of packages together which are logically/physically grouped?
3) Can we execute set of ordered packages/individual packages from command line and even
stored procedure?
4) Can we maintain transaction integrity across the entire set of ordered packages we execute?
5) Can we send a mail to mail id(s) in case of events like OnError etc.
6) Can we schedule the packages?
7) Does SSIS provide via BIDS a way to compare data in source with target to decide what got
inserted/deleted/updated and based on that do the necessary?
8) Can SSIS packages be developed including code for data encryption?
9) Can we pass parameters to packages that get called from stored procedure?
10) Can we call stored procedure/function in SSIS package?
