Hi, I am trying to update my database i am using the select statement:
SELECT PatientNo, ConsultantName, HospitalName, CONVERT (varchar, Date, 101), CONVERT (varchar, Time, 8) FROM [Appointment];
however when i try to update this i am not able to select my date and time columns.
Thanks Mike
I had the following user defined function working on a test server.
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.GetFirstDayOfWeek (@WeekNo Integer, @YearNo VarChar(4))
RETURNS DateTime AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Date VarChar(10)
DECLARE @FirstDayOfWeek DateTime
SET @Date = '01/01' + @YearNo
SET @Date = CONVERT(VarChar(10), CONVERT(DateTime, @Date,101) - (DATEPART(DW, @Date)-1),101)
SET @FirstDayOfWeek = DateAdd(WW, @WeekNo-1, @Date)
RETURN @FirstDayOfWeek
END
It should return the date of the first day in the week when provided with a week number and year, however, the test server has been rebuilt and after transferring my database over, this function no longer works. I now get the error message "Syntax error converting DateTime from character string".
The database is exactly how it was on the previous test server build - could my problem be caused by the server being setup differently (i.e. different regional settings and therefore different date format) or am I completely missing something in the SQL?
Unfortunately I do not have enough rights on the server to check the SQL Server settings!
Hi,
My source is flat file and my destination is SQL SERVER 2005 using SSIS TOOL.
In my source file i got a date column which is in ISO standards ex: 20050131
I have taken source flat file data type as database date [DT_DBDATE] and in
destination table i declared data type as datetime.
When i start debugging i am getting an error saying that data conversion is not possible.
Can you please help me out how to solve the problem, what data types do i need to take in source and destination and is there any necessity of using Data Conversion Transformation.
If, so please tell me how to do.
With Regards

Hey gang, I have 2 100,000 record tables, with a ID & address field. (I've exclude all the other field for now) I need to make sure the ID field in table A is equal to table B and that the address in table A is equal to table B. If the Id's or address do not match create a separate table. Any good ideas

I am in trying to clean and standardize the data during the ETL processes using the €œLookup Data Flow Transformation€? in SSIS€¦
I am able to clean data by replacing the values in columns with values from a reference table, using an exact lookup to locate values in a reference table.
What I would like to do is €œif there is NO exact match€? replace it by e.g. zero or some other value which means €œno reference data available€?, how do I do this?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,

HI,
I'm encouter some data convertion string problem especially during database update use asp.net (vb.net). Please help advice how can i solve the error??
I guess integer value need convert to string before able execute update function..
The error i get: -
1) failed to convert nvarchar to int
2) Convertion string is not in correct format...
let say i drag a textbox (txtquantity) and allow input and click update (with call procedure) updatexx set quantity=2 select from YY.
Wondering if i missed some important code??
Another data converting errorsituation is: let say i create a class call "AA" then have properties quantity as string, sProductID as string
i retrieve the data
........function get info(by ProductID as string)
If reader.Read() Then OrdInfo.quantity = reader("Quantity").ToString() OrdInfo.ProductID = reader("ProductID").ToString()
.....
sub update BB (byval aa as AA)
...
command.Parameters.Add("@Quantity", Data.SqlDbType.Int) command.Parameters("@Quantity").Value = AA.quantity
command.Parameters.Add("@ProductID", Data.SqlDbType.Int) command.Parameters("@ProductID").Value = AA.sProductID

I am using SQL server 2005, Visual Web Developer 2005 express (for right now). Can get the stored procedure to run fine if I do not return the CityID.
Stored Procedure
ALTER Procedure [dbo].[WDR_CityAdd1]
(
@CountryID int,
@CityName nvarchar(50),
@InternetAvail bit,
@FlowersAvail bit,
@CityID int OUTPUT
)
AS
IF EXISTS(SELECT 'True' FROM city WHERE CityName = @CityName AND CountryID = @CountryID)
BEGIN
SELECT
@CityID = 0
END
ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT INTO City
(
CountryID,
CityName,
InternetAvail,
FlowersAvail
)
VALUES
(
@CountryID,
@CityName,
@InternetAvail,
@FlowersAvail
)
SELECT
@CityID = 'CityID' ( I have also tried = @@Identity but that never returned anything it is an identity column 1,1)
END
Here is the code on the other end. I have not included all the parameters, but should get a sense of what I am doing wrong.
Dim myCommand As New SqlCommand("WDR_CityAdd1", dbConn)
myCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
Dim parameterCityName As New SqlParameter("@CityName", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 50)
parameterCityName.Value = CityName
myCommand.Parameters.Add(parameterCityName)
Dim parameterCityID As New SqlParameter("@CityID", SqlDbType.Int, 4)
parameterCityID.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
myCommand.Parameters.Add(parameterCityID)
Try
dbConn.Open()
myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
dbConn.Close()
Return (parameterCityID.Value).ToString (have played with this using the .tostring and not using it)
'AlertMessage = "City Added"
Catch ex As Exception
AlertMessage = ex.ToString
End Try
Here is the error I get. So what am I doing wrong? I figured maybe in the stored procedure. CityID is difined in the table as an int So why is it telling me that it is a varchar when it is defined in the stored procedure, table and code as an int? Am I missing something?
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'CityID' to data type int. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi everyone,
I'm trying to integrate SQLEXPRESS in a custom application ("the app"). On installation, a new instance ("myNewInstance") is created, and a new DB ("myDB") is created on that instance.
Upon de-installation of "the app", I remove the new instance. To that end, I'm calling the SQLEXPRESS setup like this:
Code Snippet
setup.exe /qb REMOVE=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=myNewInstance
The Problem: While the service and the instance are removed, the instance's data directory is not, and the DB Datafiles are still there. Now if I reinstall the app (re-creating myNewInstance), it uses the same directory structure, and when I try to re-create the DB, I get the following error message:
Code Snippet
Msg 5170, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot create file '[...]MSSQL.2MSSQLDATAmyDB.mdf' because it already exists. Change the file path or the file name, and retry the operation.
So here's the Question: is there
a) any way to tell setup.exe to completely remove the datafiles when uninstalling the instance, or
b) any way to tell TSQL to overwrite the old datafiles if they exist?
Thanks in advance,
Thorsten

You all helped me a great deal yesterday with my leading zeros query question, so I'm hoping someone might have an insight into this one! I'm working on a new database (to me anyway, it's been in use for many years at the company) and I have a manipulation/data pull question...
I have a field that's currently YYYYMMDD, and the Data Type is int. So what I need to do for a report is turn the date around to MMDDYYYY and pull just the last week worth of info. With some manupulation (probably not conventional though) I'm able to get the MMDDYYYY in a varchar format, but I'm stumped as to how to pull just the last week worth of info? I tried various forms of - 7 and of course it's not working. I can't say I've had to deal much with dates that weren't already in date/datetime format? Anyone else have ideas on how to convert it or pull the data?
Thanks again to all!

Question 1: I am passing a datetime as a parameter to a Stored Procedure. The datetime may contain time, which I want to strip out - the date is the important part and it is critical that the time is 00:00. What is the most efficient way of stripping out the time so that it is 0?
Question 2: I have a Year (small integer), Month (tiny integer), and Day (tiny integer). What is the most efficient way to use these to make a datetime?
In both questions, please assume that a universal standard must be used, since the database in question may be running outside of North America.
Many thanks,

How should I go about releasing any objects I've created? I've got a very complex CLR stored proc that creates a dataset, many sqlcommand objects, an adapter, etc, etc. It's used to evaluate high school transcripts for completion of the core subjects. It's a very complex SP that takes a single SSN as a parameter.
Right now it works as expected when I call it from a query window in SQL Mgmt Studio, I can stack 39 calls in a row like:
exec usp_Evaluate_eTranscript '011...'
exec usp_Evaluate_eTranscript '012...'
...
exec usp_Evaluate_eTranscript '039...'
And if I build a little test harness in VB.Net calling it in a populated dataset For ... Next loop, it works just fine for the 39 valid values I have.
But, when I build a cursor in a query window in MgmtStudio I get some strange behavior, that just doesn't really make sense. I'm getting a foreign key violation and I'm not even trying to insert any rows, just updating existing ones.
So, the only possible cause that I haven't eliminated yet is that some objects are still hanging around when the cursor tries to call the SP again.
It's declared:
<Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure()> _
Public Shared Sub usp_Evaluate_eTranscript(ByVal SSN As String)
And exits with the standard End Sub.
Is there some way I can help the garbage collector along? Kick it into action? Maybe some
Set sqlcommand = Nothing or
sqlcommand.Dispose
dataset.Clear or
dataset.Dispose or somesuch thing?
I'm closing the context connection immediately after each time I use it (I have to so the next object can work).
Can someone give me some advise on how to clean out my log file?
Thanks :confused:

I have been getting some strange results while trying to reduce the size of a transaction log file. The background is the database was fully backed up last night. There has been no activity since the backup. A transaction backup was performed 30 minuted prior to my testing. Here is what I tried:
1. dbcc shrinkdatabase ('mydb',1)
Resulted in no change to the size of the log file (Still 110meg)
2. Right clicked on the database in Enterprise Manager and selected Shrink Database. I selected the log file to shrink and it shrunk to 29meg.
3. Tried dbcc shrinkdatabase ('mydb',1) again and no change.
4. Issued backup log mydb with truncate_only and
dbcc shrinkdatabase ('mydb',1) and the size shrunk to 2 meg.
Am I doing something wrong? I thought that after a full backup and backing up the log file, the out of date log records would be able to be shrunk out.
also, why does the Enterprise Manager shrink work differently from the dbcc command?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken Nicholson
Hey,
Does anyone know of a neat and easy way to modify this section of hardcode:
SELECT CASE dbo.requestsbyyeartemp.themonth when '1' then 'January' when '2' then 'Febuary' when '3' then 'March'
when '4' then 'April' when '5' then 'May' when '6' then 'June' when '7' then 'July' when '8' then 'August'
when '9' then 'September' when '10' then 'October' when '11' then 'November' when '12' then 'December' end as 'themonth', etc...
Requestsbyyeartemp is a table where the numbers corresponding to the months are stored. This statement is used to make a new table where the months are stored with the proper names and not numbers.
I would sooner not have any hardcode at all if there is a simple way to do it.
Thanks

I've tried to update a money table on the sql with following statement

in this example p is a variable and contains figures like 5,7
This statement always give following error Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'as'

I have been researching on how to cleanup four backup system files located in the MSDB database. I currently have approximately 1 million rows in each of these tables which is making my MSDB database to be 4 gig in size. I cannot find any instructions on how to gracefully clean these tables up or what to do to keep the number of rows down in these tables. The tables are backupfile, backupmediafamily, backupmediaset, and backupset. Thanks.

i am building a new deployment routine for one of our products using NANT (.net version of ANT). I takes all of .sql files out of vault for all non table objects and concatenates them into larger .sql files with IF EXISTS .... DROP ... GO CREATE statements which will then be fired off by osql batch files that will log the errors.
Problem...
When I open the resulting files in notepad I have junk characters (microsoft OEM stuff) in some of my object definitions which you do not see in the QA or if you opnen the file in Vault. I need to get this stuff out of there and I do not want to write a bunch of filesystem code to do it because I need this tested and ready by Friday COB. I know I can solve this by opening the problematic files in ultraedit and saving them one by one but I do have that kind of time.
Any ideas?
It's going to be a long couple of days.
