How To Convert DT_WSTR To DT_DBDate In Expression
May 2, 2007
Hi all,
Actually trying to add one month to current variables value so I can process per month data in for loop for that I have written the following statement in Assign Expression Part of For Loop
dateadd("Month",1,((DT_DBDATE)(@[User::_year]+"/"+@[User::_month]+"/"+"01"))) here I am getting the error message that error converting from data type dt_wstr to to datatype dt_dbdate
@[User::_year] contains year value like 2003 and @[User::_month] contains month value like 1 using these variables I want to add the month to the date created by using these both variables.
so this is the first part to add the month to date and other part is to assign new value to variables by using datepart function
any help and guidance related to this whether I am doing right or not if any other wayout to acheive this goal.

Hi All,
I need a solution for the following:
I have a field with datatype string, length 8, in the form yyyymmdd (f.e. 20070604).
Now I need to transfer this field into a field with datatype dt_DBDATE or DT_DBDATE.
I tried to perform this with a derrived column and type cast (DT_DATE) or (DT_DBDATE), but this does not work.
Any hint for me!!!
Thanks in Advance

The IC column referenced in the script below is DT_NTEXT, so when I run it the output value column gets "Microsoft.SqlServer.DTS.Pipeline.BlobColumn" instead of the individual codes (separated by "*"). Also, there is only 1 output row per input row, instead of 1 output row per code.
I found some references to the GetBobData() method, but replacing Row.IC.ToString() with Row.IC.GetBlobData(0, CInt(Row.IC.Length)).ToString() puts "System.Byte[]" in the value output column. There is still only output row per input row.
So how do I convert the IC column to a String that can be Split()?Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)
Dim seq As Integer = 0
For Each code As String In Row.IC.ToString().Split("*"c)
'Add a row to the output buffer:
Output0Buffer.AddRow()
'Preserve columns from the input buffer:
Output0Buffer.itemid = Row.itemid
Output0Buffer.attributeid = Row.attributeid
'Output0Buffer.IC = Row.IC
'Add output columns:
Output0Buffer.seq = seq
Output0Buffer.value = code
seq += 1
Next
End Sub

I created a SSIS package and creating a derived column named: Date...set datatype as DT_DBDATE....I do not want the timestamp on date...then I want to load this Date into a SQL server database table, with datatype of datetime, but it will load here with the timestamp which I do not want. Any ideas? I did change datatype of the SQL Server Destination datatype to DT_DBDATE but it will change it back to DT_DBTimestamp. thx

Hi,
In excel file, I have one column CertNum. The Sqlserver destination column is CertNum of type int. I am using one data conversion to convert excel CertNum to integer datatype. I am getting the error like Potentila loss of data, truncation occurs. So Before doing the Data Conversion I included one Derived column with the expression
ISNULL([CertNum) || [CertNum] == "" ? 0 : [CertNum]. Then here I am getting error: The DT_14 and DT_WSTR are incomaptable datatypes.
How to avoid this error?
Thanks in advance

Hello, all.
Why is it that, despite what is said in the sketchy SQL Help content, it appears to be impossible to cast a string to an integer in the Expression Builder to generate a value for a variable? More specifically, why does the following expression cause an error?
(DT_UI4) (SUBSTRING(@[User::FullDataPath], LEN(@[User:ataPath]) + 1, 2))
I'm iterating over files and using the name of a given file as an ID for an operation. I simply want to grab a file name using the Foreach Loop Container and process that file, while at the same time use the name in another operation. The file name will be something like "2.txt" (full path something like "c:somethingsomething2.txt"). I can use string functions to return the file name, which is a number as a string, and it should be no problem to cast that number as a string to a number (an Int32). SQL Server 2005 help has a chart that indicates such a cast is legal.
Maybe it's a crazy thing to be doing. Maybe I have to go about this a completely different way, but casting from "2" to 2 should be possible in the Expression Builder.
Thanks for any help.

Below is the error I get when trying to convert a Visual FoxPro memo field to a DT_WSTR (4000 ) in a SQL table. It does not let me convert a DT_TEXT to a DT_WSTR.
Thank in advance

I'm using a Lookup component to add a DT_GUID column named cat_id to a data flow, which is used in a downstream Derived Column component to add a DT_WSTR column named value. The DC expression simply casts the uniqueidentifier to the desired type: (DT_WSTR, 434)cat_id
But when the values are persisted in the destination table's nvarchar(434) column, they have braces around them, e.g. {F475DB7F-5CB0-4EE1-9BF2-758C77D7A6D7}
What is introducing those braces, and what do I need to do to prevent it?

I am building a data warehouse. Some of the data comes from an AS 400 EPR system. I used the OLEDB connector when first pulling the data into SQL Server doing simple import data from table option. That worked great for getting the initial data load into SQL Server and creating the base SQL Server tables although it was excruciatingly slow (that was probably due to the transport from the AS 400).
Now, I need to get new records that are added to the AS400 side of things on a daily basis. For that, I was trying to use the OLEDB AS400 connector. However, I found that the OLEDB connector wouldn't work when I was trying to specify an SQL Statement for what to get; i.e., a simple query like Select * from TWLDAT.STKT where BYSDAT >= '2005-01-27' would simply not work. Found articles here explaining that it is probably a problem on the AS400 side of things and where people recommended using an ADO ODBC data reader source for this type of thing. So, I'm trying to implement that. However, I have a huge problem with it.
The original tables that got created were mapped to use NVARCHAR fields for character data. When the ADO ODBC data reader source accesses the AS400 data, it insists on interpreting the string type fields as being unicode strings and giving it a data type of DT_WSTR when what I need it to have is a plain old DT_STR data type. When the strings are interpreted as unicode strings, they cannot be converted in a way that allows the NVARCHAR fields to be filled with the data. The exact error message I get for all the fields that should wind up being nvarchar fields is as follows:
Column "BYStOK" cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types.
Okay, so I try to change the data types in the ADO ODBC data reader to be plain DT_STR data types and I cannot do so.
Does anyone have any idea why the ADO ODBC data reader source insists on interpreting the string data coming from the AS 400 as unicode string data or why it refuses to allow that to be changed to DT_STR data type?
Thanks in advance for any info. By the way, if there is a better way than the ADO ODBC data source to get at this data when I need to specify an SQL command, I would love to hear about it. Not wild about using ODBC in the OLEDB age.

I've imported a number of excel sheets into a Power Query Table. All seems to appear ok until I load the data. Of the 15k rows around 2k have a similar error where it cannot convert an integer to type string as below example
Expression.Error: We cannot convert the value 40 to type Text.
Details:
  Value=40
  Type=Type
The columns in question are all of integer type, I've looked through the M query and there is no conversion to string taking placeThe values where we don't get the error are also integers hence the intriguing question is why does the error occur on a subset and not the others. I suspect there is a limit to the number of errors also somewhere internally M query is converting the column to text for some reason.

I have created 1 report with 2 datasets. This report is attached to the 1st dataset.For example,1st one is "Smallappliances", 2nd is "Largeappliances".
I created a tablix and, the 1st column extracts Total sales per Sales person between 2 dates from 1st dataset (Small appliances). I used running values expression and it works fine.
Now, I would like to add another column that extracts Total sales per sales person between 2 dates from 2nd dataset (Large appliances). I am aware that I need to use Lookup expression and it is giving me the single sales value rather than the total sales values. So, I wanted to use RunningValue expression within lookup table to get total sales for large appliances.
This is the lookup expression that I added for the 2nd column.
=Lookup(Fields!salesperson.Value,Fields!sales_person.Value,RunningValue(Fields!sales_amount.Value,
sum, " sales_person"),
"Largeappliances").
I get this error when I preview the report.An error occurred during local report processing.The definition of the report is invalid.An unexpected error occurred in report processing.
(processing): (SortExpression ++ m_context.ExpressionType)

Dear Experts,Ok, I hate to ask such a seemingly dumb question, but I'vealready spent far too much time on this. More that Iwould care to admit.In Sql server, how do I simply change a character into a number??????In Oracle, it is:select to_number(20.55)from dualTO_NUMBER(20.55)----------------20.55And we are on with our lives.In sql server, using the Northwinds database:SELECTr.regionid,STR(r.regionid,7,2) as a_string,CONVERT(numeric, STR(r.regionid,7,2)) as a_number,cast ( STR(r.regionid) as int ) as cast_to_numberFROM REGION R1 1.00112 2.00223 3.00334 4.0044SELECTr.regionid,STR(r.regionid,7,2) as a_string,CONVERT(numeric, STR(r.regionid,7,2) ) as a_number,cast (STR(r.regionid,7,2) as numeric ) as cast_to_numberFROM REGION R1 1.00112 2.00223 3.00334 4.0044Str converts from number to string in one motion.Isn't there a simple function in Sql Server to convertfrom string to number?What is the secret?Thanks

I need a statement like:UPDATE tblQuestions SET QuestionNumber = QuestionNumber +1 WHERE QuestionNumber >=10 AND TestID = 1 AND SectionNumber = 1
(Required output is clear from statement itself)
I tried with
UPDATE tblQuestions SET QuestionNumber = EVAL(QuestionNumber +1) WHERE QuestionNumber >=10 AND TestID = 1 AND SectionNumber = 1
and
UPDATE tblQuestions SET QuestionNumber = (QuestionNumber +1) WHERE QuestionNumber >=10 AND TestID = 1 AND SectionNumber = 1
I've just started working with SQL. Please suggest correct approach.

Is it possible to nest expressions within a script in a similar fashion to how they're nested within the expression editor?
I have a requirement to strip trailing digits from a string field, so that only two decimal places are left.
e.g.
1.12345 becomes 1.12
12345.6789 becomes 12345.67
I would do this in the expression editor but I need to use Script component because there are a multitude of conditions that need to be evaluated first which I will do inside a Select Case statement.
I'm wrestling with code that looks like
Newratefield = ratefield.Substring(1, Findstring(ratefield, ".", 1) + 2)
but VB doesn't like the 'Findstring(ratefield, ".", 1) + 2)' part.
Any suggestions on what I can do here?

Thanks
case
when len([Column 5]) = 0 then ''

Hi,
Is it possible to search in columns with a number datatype (I'm using an MS SQL database with bigint columns) with the ICriterion Expression.Like?
Normally the Expression.Like is used for varchar columns. However, if there's a bigint column with the value 167829 I want to search for example on %678%.
Cheers,

Hello, I need to create a table where a column's data should have a hypen inserted after the second character. The table will accept a large input of rows, so I think it would be better to use a SQL expression or formula on the column to provide the hyphen on insert rather than doing an update statement later. There is no way of knowing how many characters will follow the hyphen.
So for example... 888888 would become 88-8888
or 5555555555555555 would become 55-55555555555555
Any help would be great!

HiI'm looking to return rows from a table where a column is LIKE a keyword. This is my current code:SELECT DISTINCT business_name FROM Table WHERE business_name LIKE @keyword + '%' ORDER BY business_name ASCThe problem with this is that if a business is called "The White Ship Inn", and the keyword to match is "White Ship" it will not match. If i put another wild card in front of @keyword then this finds too many matches - i need it to match against columns which either start with the keyword, or have a whitespace in front of them. Is there some kind of T-Sql i can use or will i have to go down the regex route (using this (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mcpp/xpregex.aspx)) ?cheers
