Aug 24, 2000Is there a way to change the physical mapping of a user defined data type to the physical SQL Server datatype. It seems that once you create them, it is just about impossible to change it.

Changing Data Types Of A Variable In An Expression
May 18, 2006Greetings once again SQL friends,
Sorry to bug you with my silly questions but this little problem has been driving me crazy for the last hour or so!
I am attempting to change the data type of a variable in an expression but I keep getting an error saying that the expression can not be evaluated.
The syntax I am using is as follows :
(dt_str) @[User::MAX_OFFER_PRICE_ID]
My variable MAX_OFFER_PRICE_ID is type int32 and I am attempting to cast it as a string.
What am I doing wrong?!
Thanks for your help in advance.
Sccript Component Changing Data Types
May 14, 2008Hi there.
"This is a simple problem, so do not be discouraged by the amount of text ahead. I wrote so much because I thought this needed to be explained as well as possible, even though it's simple."
I have two (almost) same sets of tables on two servers, call them Source and Destination.
What needs to be done is that the data in the tables on Source has to be transferred to the same (corresponding) tables on Destination. The unfortunate thing is that in some of the tables on Source some columns are Unicode and in the corresponding tables on Destination the same columns are non-Unicode. Since the data kept in the tables is always ASCII there is no need to have a distinction.
Remark: No, I can't delete the Destination tables and recreate them with the Unicode settings.
Now, I know there is a task that can convert between encodings. But 1. there are MANY tables, 2. there are MANY columns in them and 3. I do not know which columns are Unicode and which are not. I would have to examine all the tables which would take A LOT OF time.
A question arises: Is it possible to write a script component that would take a row, examine the columns for SSIS data types (not VB.NET types) and change the piece of data's type in the colum from Unicode to non-Unicode? I am not sure I've stated this properly but hopefully you get the idea.
If you think this is impossible, please give me an alternative solution (if able), excluding - of course - the conversion task.
Thank you very much.

One Or More Columns Do Not Have Supported Data Types, Or Their Data Types Do Not Match.
Oct 20, 2007
Hi,
I´m exporting an ms-excel file, then I use a lookup transformation to get a field from a SQL Server 2005 table. The Lookup transformation editor, after selecting the table, shows a warning that says:
at least one mapping between a column from available input columns ans a column from available lookup columns must be defined on the columns page.
So I try to make a relationship in the Lookup transformation editor's column tab where I find the Available input columns and the available lookup columns but I get the following error:
The following columns cannot be mapped:
[Department, DEP_CLEGALCODE]
One or more columns do not have supported data types, or their data types do not match.
The field in SLQ Server is varchar(10) and the input field is a derived column transformation; I have tried different Data Types but I always have the same error.
The DataFlow is: ExcelSource --> Derived Column --> Lookup --> Flat file destination
thanks.

The data is messed up before I save it to the .csv file. Sothere are blank spaces being added here and there causing them to readas 'add comma' when saving to .csv format. Even the column data ismessed up... example: ,photo_mod_time,photo_mo,d_date, should read,photo_mod_time,photo_mod_date,I have a view on a remote MS-SQL7 Server, the view has about 200columns and the data returned from the my querys can be from 10 to 25MBin size.

Data Access :: Validation For Length Of The Character Data Types
Jun 10, 2015I Have a table with #Sample like below
=================================
#Sample
id int,
SSN varchar(20),
State varchar(2)
Â
Sample Data:
ID SSN STATE
1 999-000-000 AB
2 979-000-000Â BC
3 995-000-000Â CD
=================================
We used filter logic based on the SSN & State.
We are passing these values through variables like
Declare @State varchar(2)
Declare @SSN varchar(20)
While run time these values are lets suppose @SSN = '999-000-000' & @State='ABC'
Now the Result is displayed with the state data Like 'AB' only.
Output: 1 999-000-000 AB
instead it should give system generated error.
Here I have 2 Questions:
1. Why it is taking 1st 2 Charecters?
2. Why it does not have any system generated for length?
I can do validation with Length function for these 2 variables however if have 100 variables then it should not feasible case. So, what is the reason behind?Â
Modifying Data Column Names And Data Types
Mar 13, 2008I'm in the process of converting a rather huge VSAM database into a set of SQL tables.
I am using the same data names from the mainframe (like XDB-NAME to RDB-NAME).
I load the files using Import Export Data and it makes the tables with such column names as col001, col002, col003, etc... and always sets the data types to varchr(255).
And I have to cut and paste the data names from the manframe side to the server side (and the data types to.)
So, is there an easier way to do this? Or am I doomed to cut-n-paste my days away...
Thanks for any help.
Sql Types - Simple SQL Server Queries/handling Variable Types
May 26, 2005SQL Server 2000, ASP.Net 1.1
I've been writing this stuff for a while, and can't seem to come to the
conclusion of how I should be retrieving data and assigning this data
to variables.
Since i'm using SQL Server, I'm convinced that I should be using the
datareaders GetSqlDouble (or whatever) function, but this would mean i
need my local variables to be one of the SQL types. The problem
with that is, that there will have to be lots of conversions done by me
to be able to use a SQL type in my application.
For instance, I have a class where i'm retrieving dates. In order
to retrieve them correctly (Null values included), I need to retrieve
them with GetSqlDateTime(), then when it comes time to display the date
in a table, i must first check for nulls, then convert to a
string. This seems to be very cumbersome. Would I be better
off just using GetDateTime(), and the .ToString method, and ignoring
Sql Types all together?
so, basically, how are you guys using your sql server data? with
the supplied sql types, and doing all of the post-processing work
manually? I feel like i'm having trouble conveying my
issue...hopefully someone knows what i mean....i'd just like some
direction to save trouble in the long run, since i feel like there's
got to be a better way...
Confused!
Thanks,
JJ

May 13, 2008There I was merrily working away on my SSIS package, when one of our lovely network people completely wiped the drive my SQL Server database was sitting on. I was a bit miffed.
I was even more miffed when I found out after restoring the database that the package I was editing would no longer connect to it. I've removed and recreated all my datasources and connection managers and no luck.
I get a number of errors -
When trying to execute a simple task to take populate a table in my SQL Server database from a remote source I get:
[ODD - PMP10 in ORBIT STAGING [652]] Error: SSIS Error Code
Code SnippetDTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "ORBIT STAGING" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
I can however, connect to the database in design mode, using the same connection parameters - I can create tables too, so access rights look ok.
When trying to run a for each container that uses an ADO Connection, I get:
Code SnippetError 1 Error loading Orbit Extract.dtsx: The connection "ORBIT_STAGING - ADO.NET" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found. D:DevORBITExtractOrbit Extract.dtsx
Well, the connection does exist, so it must be a corrupt internal pointer or something...
If I double click on the errors, It takes me to the top of the XML file, and I'm loath to mess with this directly, as I don't know what is what here...
Anyone know of a way to sort this out?
I Really Messed Up ReportingServices - What Can I Do Now?

I did something bad (I don't recall what it was) and I can no longer log into Reporting Services. I wish I could list everything I've tried but I've been at it so long I don't remember. And I've been through the ringer of error messages.

Copying Data From One Table To A New One With Some Different Data Types
Mar 30, 2007Is it possible to easily copy data from one table to another if the data types don't match. I know you can do a INSERT INTO table1(col1,col2) SELECT (col2,col7) FROM table2 if the data types match but is there a way to do this if they don't. I'm not trying to copy date times into bit fields or anything. I just have an old table that I built when I really didn't know what I was doing now I at leastthink I have a better understanding of what data types to use, so I was wanting to move the data in the orignal table to my new one. Most of the fields in the olddatabase are text datatypes and the new database is nvarchar(50) data types. Thanks for any suggestions.

Dec 29, 2004Hello,
I have a really dumb question regarding SQL data types. I have a couple columns in a table that are specified as MONEY. These columns are being read from my web app and displayed on the website for reference when filling in other information.
My problem is that when it is displayed on the website it give four decimal places instead of two. For example I want it to report $33,000.29 but what is actually displayed is $33,000.2965.
How can I set up either SQL or my web app so that it only displays the two decimal places? I've looked into changing the datatype already but SMALLMONEY and MONEY have the same type of decimal values.
Thanks!

SQL 7 Data Types
Oct 2, 2000I'm just getting used to using SQL 7 Database and am looking for some recommendations on what DATA TYPES to use when designing tables.
The site I am working on now uses cold fusion to enter, update, and insert mainly text and articles. Now the problem with the articles is that some of them are pretty big. And when inserting or updating them, if they go over the limit of characters I get an error.
I know in access I used to use the data type "MEMO" and be able to put a large piece of info in that field.
What's the equivalent for SQL server databe?
What are the most used/common or recommended data types that should be used when putting tables together?

Need Help With Data Types
May 10, 2007Hi,
I am pretty new with SQL and was dabbling in a test database that is linked with a software application.
I made a change to a table - Lets call this (Table1).
Table1 has a multiple columns.
Column1 is defined as numeric(9)
Column2 is defined as varchar(20)
In this case, I wanted to make all values in Column2 = Column1 that did not have a value defined so I ran the following query:
update Table1 set Column2 = Column1 where Column2 = ''
This took effect but the particular software application doesn't recognize these values because they are the wrong data type.
How can I convert all data in a column to varchar(20) if it is another data type (i.e. in this case numeric(9))?
I've tried in Enterprise manager to redesign the table and adjusted the length to 21 and then back and saved it but this did not work. I was looking at Convert and Cast functions but don't know how to write one to accomplish what I need to do here.
Half of the data in Column2 is varchar(20) and half is numeric(9).
I want all to be varchar(20).
Thanks,
asyncd
