Sring has invariable length, in note is always on other position and includes variable text (e.g .:<actionId>xx</actionId>) .

BCP With Image, Ntext Datatype
Mar 4, 2004Hi, I have a table with ntext and image datatype. I did BCP out succesfully but when I try to to BCP in, I am getting error.
----------
Starting copy...
SQLState = 22005, NativeError = 0
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid character value for cast specification
SQLState = 22005, NativeError = 0
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid character value for cast specification
SQLState = 22005, NativeError = 0
------------------
I read somewhere that I can use BULK INSERT with a format file.
Can someone suggest how to BCP in siccesfully or How does the format file looks like for this kind of task?. I am using SQL Server 2000.

Are there any way we can format the output of ntext? Or it will just come out as one long line?

SSIS Ntext Datatype And SQL Server Destination
Sep 11, 2007
Hi folks,
We have a nice issue here. We are running SQL 2005 Dev edition Service Pack 2 and we are trying to copy the contents of one table in a local sql server database to another table in another database on the same local sql server. We use an oledb source and a sql server destination. The table structure is exactly the same. One column is of the datatype ntext, when we try to load the contents the package will stop with the error:
OnError 11-9-2007 14:38:24 11-9-2007 14:38:24 00:00:00 The attempt to send a row to SQL Server failed with error code 0x80004005.
OnError 11-9-2007 14:38:24 11-9-2007 14:38:24 00:00:00 SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PROCESSINPUTFAILED. The ProcessInput method on component "<TABLE>" (3382) failed with error code 0xC02020C7. The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.
OnError 11-9-2007 14:38:24 11-9-2007 14:38:24 00:00:00 SSIS Error Code DTS_E_THREADFAILED. Thread "WorkThread0" has exited with error code 0xC02020C7. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the thread has exited.
OnError 11-9-2007 14:38:26 11-9-2007 14:38:26 00:00:00 SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E07.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E07 Description: "Error converting data type DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP to datetime.".
OnError 11-9-2007 14:38:26 11-9-2007 14:38:26 00:00:00 A commit failed.
Removing the column from the sql server destination will result in loading the complete table. Using an oledb destination instead of sql server destination fixes the problem. Is this a bug in the SQL server destination component?
Thanks,

Can't Use The NTEXT Datatype In SQLCLR Scalar-valued Functions
Mar 19, 2007From the SQL Server documentation : "The input parameters and the type returned from a SVF can be any of the scalar
data types supported by SQL Server, except rowversion, text,
ntext, image, timestamp, table, or cursor"This is a problem for me. Here's what I'm trying to do :I have an NTEXT field in one of my tables. I want to run regular expressions on this field, and return the results from a stored procedure. Since SQL Server doesn't provide facilities to perform regular expressions, I need to use an SQLCLR function. I would have no problem doing this if my field was nvarchar. However, this field needs to be variable in length - I cannot set an upper bound. This is why I'm using NTEXT and not nvarchar in the first place.Is there a solution to this problem? I can't imagine that I'm the only person who wants to pass strings of arbitrary size to an SQLCLR function.
DEFINITIVE ANSWER PLEASE -- Can You UPDATE Ntext Datatype Field???
Jul 20, 2005Hi, I've read conflicting articles on updating an ntext field in acolumn.My ntext field will exceed 8,000 characters (typically twice that size-- but just a text string).One article (I think from MicroSoft) said you could NOT use ntext inan UPDATE statement, but I've seen examples from other people usingit...but don't know if it's related to the size/characters issue.Is this true or not?Thanks very much...Kathy

NTEXT Vs NVARCHAR For Large Number Of Columns
Jul 23, 2005Hi all,I need to store data into about 104 columns. This is problematic with MSSQL, since it doesn't support rows over 8kb in total size.Most of the columns are of type NVARCHAR(255), which means we can't havemore than 8092/(255*2) = 15 columns of this type.With a row length of more than 8kb, SQL gives a warning that any rows overthat amount will be truncated.So far I'm seeing two possible solutions to this problem:1. Split data into multiple tables with the same ID column accross alltables, and then join them on SELECT statements.2. Use NTEXT instead of NVARCHAR. NTEXT's length is 16 bytes because itcontains a pointer to the actual value stored somewhere else. However, NTEXTdoesn't support regular indexing, only through a Full-Text Index catalog. Inthis case I'll need to user "WHERE CONTAINS(columnName, 'sometext')" toperform searches, which is bearable.I'm inclined toward #2. However I haven't used Full-Text indices before anddon't know their limitations. Will I run into problems with NTEXT? Is therea better solution?Thanks.-Oleg.

XML Source Error Output Columns Set To NTEXT?
Aug 17, 2007I've read about the XML Source sometimes setting error output columns to DT_WSTR(255), but mine is now setting them to DT_NTEXT.
Anyone have any suggestions short of an XML editor? I'm concerned that I might do something to "refresh" the columns and cause the problem again.
Ntext Columns Truncated To 32K When Processed By Integration Services
May 30, 2007I have an Integration services application that retrieves big strings (over 32k) from an ODBC data source and stores them in a SQL server 2005 database as ntext.
Somehow the strings are truncated to 32K. The app only copies the data from the ODBC datasource to the (OLEDB) target.
Also, some of the special characters in the input text are not properly translated.
Any ideas?
How To Find The Maximum Possible Value Of A Given Datatype
Jun 27, 2007Does anyone know of a built-in function to return the maximum possiblevalue of a given datatype? I have to return the biggest value for asmalldatetime or datetime in a view if the field is null, but can'tfind such a function. The closest I've come is:select datalength(cast(getdate() as smalldatetime))....but that only return the number of bytes, not the value itself,which is '6-6-2079 11:59'I know I could create my own lookup table and function, but I washoping that Transact-SQL would have a built-in solution--John Hunter

Target And Source Columns DataType
Nov 27, 2011I need to create an Bulk upload utility using ASP.Net and SQL Server. Below is the process for the uploads -
Excel Template wherein user will enter the details. A Tab-delimited output file will be generated using the VBA.
There are 2 tables - one is Temp Table which is replica of the the final table and second is the final table
Using File.OpenText(filePath).ReadLine() - All the Rows from the tab delimited data file will be inserted into DataTable.
using SQLBulkCopy the tab-delimited data file data will be inserted into the Temp Table.
Data will be validated based on the data inserted in the temp table. If the data as errors then the temp table will be cleared else the data will be inserted from the temp table to the final table.
My Issue is that in both the tables there is a column (Name : PeopleKey (Int PrimaryKey)). If the user enters Alphabetic value then the Bulk Utility is failing. Below are the two options in my mind -
1. I can change the DataType in Temp table from int to VARCHAR. So, the data can be inserted at first and then I can validate and get the data corrected. But i am not sure whether it is the right way to fix issue as the source and target tables columns are different.
2. When the data in inserted into the Datatable by following Step 3. So, once the data in inserted into DataTable then i can validate there. Thus the source and target tables Datatype will be same.
Function That Replaces Ntext And Compares Ntext With Nvarchar
Nov 28, 2007I am running this query to an sql server 2000 database from my aspcode:"select * from MyTable whereMySqlServerRemoveStressFunction(MyNtextColumn) = '" &MyAdoRemoveStressFunction(MyString) & "'"The problem is that the replace function doesn't work with the ntextdatatype (so as to replace the stresses with an empty string). I hadto implement the MySqlServerRemoveStressFunction, i.e. a function thattakes a column name as a parameter and returns the text contained inthis column having replaced some letters of the text (the letters withstress). Unfortunately, I could not do that because user-definedfunctions cannot return a value of ntext.So I have the following idea:"select * from MyTable whereCheckIfTheyAreEqualIngoringTheStesses(MyNtextColum n, '" & MyString &"')"How can I implement the CheckIfTheyAreEqualIngoringTheStessesfunction? (I don't know how to combine these functions to do what Iwant: TEXTPTR, UPDATETEXT, WRITETEXT, READTEXT)
View 2 Replies View RelatedDataReader Source Error - Cannot Change The Datatype, Precision Or Scale In The Output Columns
Oct 3, 2007I have a data source that I access via odbc in a DataReader Source component in SSIS. I can access the data fine. However, I am having problems with certain fields that are numeric (specifically home prices ranging from 100,000.00 to 99,999,999.00). In the advanced editor for my data reader source under the input and output properties tab, in data reader output under the external columns and output columns, these fields for some reason default to numeric data types with a precision of 4 and a scale of zero, not large enough to hold the data that is coming in. This causes errors that make the data come in as null (after i specify to ignore the errors).
I can change the precision and scale to 18 and 4 in the external columns, but when I try to change the datatype, precision or scale in the output columns I get the following message:
Property Value is not valid.
The details are:
Error at Import DataReader Source: The data type of output columns on the component "DataReader Source" cannot be changed.

Find Max Values From 3 Different Columns?
Mar 9, 2008Hi I want to find 3 different columns maximum values in one shot. Like I tried to use a reader to go through results but it kept coming back with index out of bounds. Right now to get it to work I got to use a ExecuteScalar() get the first columns max value and then open the connection again(since it seems after ExecuteScalar() it closes the connection) and then do the ExecuteScalar() again. Open the connection again and do the ExecuteScalar() again. Theres got to be a better way of doing this.

Cannot Find Columns From A Stored Procedure...
Jul 21, 2007I have an application that I inherited, and I have a annoying problem. We're using stored procedures to return most of our data, and occasionally we receive errors stating that a particular column cannot be found in the resulting data table. When I run the stored procedure against SQL Server I receive the expected output. What would make this random act happen, any ideas?
Also, I keep receiving errors stating that a connection is already open and needs to be closed before an action to the database is performed. I'm explicitly closing each connection in a finally block for every method in my data access code, so a connection should always be closed, right?
