Data Conversion
Jul 24, 2007Geographic data format (GDF) is used primarily for navigation systems. I was wondering if anyone was familiar with this format and if I can use either DTS or SSIS to import the GDF flat files into SQL?

Data Conversion Failed. The Data Conversion For Column Value Returned Status Value 4 And Status Text Text Was Truncated Or On
Jan 7, 2008Hi Experts,
I am extracting data from SQL Server 2005 to flat file destination. I am using SQL Command to specify the data selection query. One of my query uses Replicate function to derive a column value. When I execute this package it fails with the error "Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "value" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page".
The reason for the problem is that, it is taking the InputColumnWidth of the flat file destination as 8000 and I specified the OutputColumnWidth as 4.
If I change the OutputColumnWidth to 8000, it is working without any error but resulting in the column width of 8000.
I tried using DerivedColumn Transformation's Type cast and DataConversion Transformation but still I am getting the same error in the respective Transformation components.
Can anyone suggest how to solve this issue.
Data Conversion From String To Decimal When Saving Data To SQL Server 2005 Using An ADO Recordset
Feb 12, 2008Hello,
I am wondering what conversion rules apply, when a string, which contains a number, is saved to a SQL Server 2005 into a column of type decimal.
This is the code I€™m using (C++):
CString cValue = "0.75"
_variant_t vtFieldValue;
vtFieldValue = _variant_t(cValue)
pRecordSet->Fields->Item["MyColumn"]->Value = vtFieldValue;
"pRecordSet" is an ADO recordset. The database column "MyColumn" is of type "decimal(19,10)".
The most important question for me is, if the regional settings of the database server or the regional settings of the client PC are considered during the conversion from the string to the decimal value. For example in standard French regional settings the "." would not be recognized as decimal separator.
I am also wondering if the language of the database instance, in which this data is saved, is considered during this conversion or any other settings of this database instance.
So my general question is: Does anybody know exactly what rules apply during the above mentioned conversion?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Volker
SSIS - Data Conversion Failed - The Value Could Not Be Converted Because Of A Potential Loss Of Data.
Aug 3, 2006Hello
I have an odd problem that is driving me nutz. I have a very simple SSIS package that imports a 5 colum flatfile into a sql Server 2005 Table.
When I created this package with the wizzard, it will execute perfectly fine and processes all rows into the destination table.
But when I hit F5 to execute it manually it will fail before inserting a single row.
The error it generates is (Spalte 5 is a Datetime in the format DD.MM.YYYY) :
Error: 0xC02020A1 at Datenflusstask, Source - Daten_NC_1_txt [1]: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "Spalte 5" returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
Error: 0xC0209029 at Datenflusstask, Source - Daten_NC_1_txt [1]: The "output column "Spalte 5" (25)" failed because error code 0xC0209084 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "Spalte 5" (25)" specifies failure on error.

IsNumeric Does Not Work On Data From Data Conversion Task
Jan 3, 2008Hi,
I have another issue. I have an excel file that I pipe through a "data conversion" task. I have set all the column data types to strings, because there's no way to know beforehand if a particular column will be number or text because the file is very non-standard (it looks more like a formatted report).
After the data conversion, I send all the rows to a script task. In the script task, I do a check on the numeric fields.
for example:
If Not IsNumeric(Row.Price) Then
Row.Price_IsNull = True
End If
However, this check fails each and every time, even if the field contains a number! I don't have this problem when using flat file sources.
So, none of my numeric fields are getting loaded to my ole db destination.
Help, is there a way around this? Or am I forced to just skip this number check altogether? I'd prefer not to.
Thanks
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The Conversion Of A Char Data Type To A Datetime Data Type Resulted In An Out-of-range Datetime Value.
Dec 14, 2005After testing out the application i write on the local pc. I deploy it to the webserver to test it out. I get this error.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The conversion of a char data type to a
datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
Notes: all pages that have this error either has a repeater or datagrid which load data when page loading.
At first I thought the problem is with the date, but then I can see
that some other pages that has datagrid ( that has a date field) work
just fine.
anyone having this problem before?? hopefully you guys can help.

Jun 1, 2006I have a View that multiplies a decimal (8,5) data type * money data type (no cast or convert) and for some odd reason comes up with a bit result (0 or 1). If I take the select statement out of the View, paste it into Query analyzer and execute it I get a decimal result.
It's easy enough to put a cast into the view but I'm wondering what is going on in the view that returns the bit data type.

Nov 24, 2006Hi,
The requirement is, we have to transfer from Flat file to OledBDestination. Flat File example is: 001|001|abc|
In the Database Table, Column A and Column B are Numeric(4,3). Column C is varchar(50).We have to write custom component (programmatically) which puts in the Database as
0.001|0.001|abc
I followed the Programmatic Sample, that comes with installation, ChangeCase which changes the case of the column as it moves to Database. I modified the program to meet my requirement. Program Sample is below. In below, I get the decimal Value (as columnValue), and then Divide by Math.Pow(10.0,3) to get 0.001. And I set it to thebuffer.SetDecimal method. For some reason, the decimal values does not show up in the Database. It truncates and gives 0.000. What Am I doing Wrong? Please help and suggest....
Decimal columnValue = buffer.GetDecimal(colInfo.bufferColumnIndex);
columnValue = (Decimal)(Decimal.ToDouble(columnValue) / Math.Pow(10.0, (3)));
buffer.SetDecimal(colInfo.bufferColumnIndex, columnValue);
All Code here:
public override void ProcessInput(int inputID, PipelineBuffer buffer) {
if (!buffer.EndOfRowset){
IDTSInput90 input = ComponentMetaData.InputCollection.GetObjectByID(inputID);
int errorOutputID = -1;
int errorOutputIndex = -1;
int defaultOutputId = -1;
GetErrorOutputInfo(ref errorOutputID, ref errorOutputIndex);
if (errorOutputIndex == 0)
defaultOutputId = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection[1].ID;
else defaultOutputId = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection[0].ID;
while (buffer.NextRow()){
if (columnInfos.Length == 0)
buffer.DirectRow(defaultOutputId);
bool isError = false;
/// Iterate the columns in the columnInfos array.
for (int x = 0; x < columnInfos.Length; x++){
ColumnInfo colInfo = columnInfos[x];
/// Is the column null?
if (!buffer.IsNull(colInfo.bufferColumnIndex)){
if (colInfo.dataType == DataType.DT_NUMERIC){
Decimal columnValue = buffer.GetDecimal(colInfo.bufferColumnIndex);
columnValue = (Decimal)(Decimal.ToDouble(columnValue) / Math.Pow(10.0, (3)));
buffer.SetDecimal(colInfo.bufferColumnIndex, columnValue);
if (!isError)
buffer.DirectRow(defaultOutputId);
}

I have single letters in a Flat file and it is in the string format,but now i want to convert it in to int format.I have tried doing this by SSIS but it is not working.
I used data conversion and copy column transformation.
I got a error message.
it automatically correct the meta data mismatch. But when i run the package, it gives the following error message.
Error: 0xC0209029 at Data Flow Task, Data Conversion [75]: The "output column "ReceiptType" (112)" failed because error code 0xC020907F occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "ReceiptType" (112)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
This is just one error message.
Please can you tell me the steps to do this correctly.
Also I need to know how to run a SSIS package through command line?

Jun 15, 2004Hi everyone... sorry, but I'm really new at this! I'm trying to make a table out of an imported Excel file (which is automatically generated as an all-text data type). I wrote a query that takes this excel file and puts it into the format we need (i.e., appropriate column headers, removing "garbage" characters and spaces). Is there any way to format the data going into the table by a specified datatype?
Sorry if this is simplistic or wasting your time, but I'm really stumped :o. However, keep in mind that I started learning SQL this morning and I've already gotten this far :).
Data Conversion Error
May 18, 2004I'm importing data from a text table, into a temp table, and then on to a final working table. I'm running into difficulty converting data from text into a 'datetime' format. I'm getting the following error:
"Arithmetic overflow error" when trying to convert into a column with the data type "DateTime"
I half expected it to reject all conversions into a Date format because of the source file being in text format, but it allows this conversion in other columns.
If I switch the Data type to 'nvarchar' instead of 'datetime' it converts and pops up with a date format.
My question is: Will this nvarchar that looks like a date behave like a date? For example, if someone tries to perform a calculation with a date format, will the nvarchar suffice, or would it cause problems?
Any ideas?

HDate
H01042008

H01102006
H01112008
Each records always start with an H charatcter, the remaining characters always represents date in the format of DDMMYYY.
I want to convert this format into the date format of YYYYMMDD. So once coverted, the record should be as follows;
HDateConverted
