We have a view in a 9205 oracle database. We can query fine
and the decimal precision is there.
When we query this same view from ms sql server we lose the precision
so 115.25 becomes 115.
does anyone know a workaround for this?
Hi!
I'm loading from Oracle using the OraOLEDB.Oracle.1 provider since I need unicode support and I get the following error:
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio
------------------------------
Error at myTask [DTS.Pipeline]: The "output column "myColumn" (9134)" has a precision that is not valid. The precision must be between 1 and 38.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0204018 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)
------------------------------
BUTTONS:
OK
------------------------------
For most of my queries to Oracle I can cast the columns to get rid of the error (CAST x AS DECIMAL(10) etc), but this does not work for:
1) Union
I have a select like "SELECT NVL(myColumn, 0) .... FROM myTable UNION SELECT 0 AS myColumn, .... FROM DUAL"
Even if I cast the columns in both selects (SELECT CAST(NVL(myColumn, 0) AS DECIMAL(10, 0) .... UNION SELECT CAST(0 AS DECIMAL(10, 0)) AS myColumn, .... FROM DUAL) I still get the error above.
2) SQL command from variable
The select basically looks like this:
"SELECT Column1, Column2, ... FROM myTable WHERE Updated BETWEEN User::LastLoad AND User::CurrentLoad"
Again, even if I cast all columns (like in the union), I still get the same error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
we recently got a scenario that we need to get the data from oracle tables which is installed on third party servers. we have sqlserver installed on ourservers. so they have created a DBLINK in oracle server to our sqlserver and published the DBLINK name.
what are the next steps that i need to follow on my sqlserver in order to access the oracle tables ?
In SQL Server I've created a linked server to an Oracle database. I am trying to insert (within the context of an sql server table trigger) an SQL Server datetime to an Oracle column with similar precision. Oracle timestamps are not compatible with sql server datetimes and I don't know how to convert the data (or if I should use a different type of column to store the data in Oracle). I have full control over the structure of the Oracle table so I can use a different type if timestamp is not best, but I need the destination column to have at least the same precision as the sql server datetime value. What is the easiest way to do this?

I need some help regarding the data access.
I needs to access some data from tables which are in oracle and load it into sql server tables.
Please let me know the process for this.
Thanks in advance.
Hello there
I have a customer that wants to start using SQL Server 7.0 instead of Oracle, but they have a lot of Oracle applications (made in Developer 2000 and Forms). Due to the big effort needed to convert those applications (to Visual Basic), they want to be able somehow to migrate only data from Oracle to SQL Server, and then use some tool that will allow them to use the same applications with the SQL Server 7.0 engine.
I found on the "SQL Server Developer's Kit" a document describing the process of migrating data and applications from Oracle to SQL Server. There is a mention to an Oracle tool called "Oracle Gateway to SQL Server" that will translate calls received by the Oracle engine to the SQL Server engine, but this approach will still require the existence of Oracle servers (which is the thing the customer no longer wants).
The second option mentioned on that document, and the one that seems more attractive, is the use of Oracle "Open Client Adapter" (OCA) that will allow Developer 2000 applications to communicate directly to SQL Server via ODBC. However, I have been unable to find (on the Oracle site) any documentation regarding this tool.
Has anynoe heard or used such tool (OCA) ? Any comments, tips, drawbacks, experience you could share ? Any other idea on how a thing like that could be accomplished ? Perhaps a third-party application that can act as a gateway between the Forms app and ODBC/SQL Server, or that will be able to generate VB code from a Developer 2000/Forms app...
Any help will be appreciated.
Please respond directly to me, as I am not a member of the distribution list.

After a period of use (typically 1-2 hours), an application using SQL Server Express stops writing to the database, whilst still continuing to read from it. As far as I can tell, no error message is generated by any operation. The application is written in VB Express and is executed on several machines, with SQL Server Express on a central machine. Re-starting the application on the affected machine restores normal operation.
The problem on one machine does not cause a similar problem elsewhere at the same time (hence it appears to be an issue with the relationship between the application and SQL Server)
This does not appear to relate to the response to Q asked by sgcook on 9 may as we are not using user instances, but only a bare minimum connection string.
I have a SQL 2014 SP1 set of servers with two asynchronous copies of an availability group. Â One of the asynchronous sites is down and SQL can no longer replicate the changes. I need to understand how long SQL Server can continue this way before the secondary replica will no longer be able to catch up. I assume this is really tied to the transaction log on the primary replica but would like it clarified.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHere's a weird one:
We are setting up a job for the SQL Server Agent via SSMS. The Job Step Type is SSIS.
In the Job Step Properties window, on the Set values tab, you can enter Values to override your package variables - normally all well and good.
However in this particular case, the variable Value contains semicolons ( - it is a Connection String for an ODBC driver. Eg: Driver={Client Access ODBC Driver (32-bit)};system=MYSERVER;...
The behaviour for this Value is weird:
If the Value is not surrounded with double quotes ("), the job fails with "The command line parameters are invalid."
If the Value is surrounded with double quotes ("), the job will run as intended. The catch is: that entry and any subsequent "Set Values" entries disappear next time the Job Step Properties window is opened.
This looks like a bug with the parsing of those strings by the Job Step Properties window?
Or am I missing something?

The best SQL results compare only to the fourth digit with other results. Everything else agrees to the 10th or 12th digit.
Is the precision of arithmetic calculations on SQL Server that bad, or am I doing something wrong here? Is there another more precise alternative?
I did the following. The results speak for themselves
DECLARE @x FLOAT(53) = 1.0004;
DECLARE @y FLOAT(53) = 1.0/12.0;
DECLARE @z FLOAT(53) = POWER(@x,@y)-1; -- Answer: 3.33270904724348E-05

Is it normal that my scd loses its mappings if I change one of its inputs?
When I talk about mappings, I talk about the first page of the scd wizard. I set everything (all the columns, business keys) and run the wizard until the last step. SCD creates two outputs (Changed and New Rows). All Ok.
If a column I use as input in the scd changes (for example, it is not a conversion column any more but a derived with the same name), my scd loses all the mappings!
It is very annoying since I have to map all of the columns again. Is this a normal behaviour of the scd or I' doing something wrong? Is there a way to 'repair' my mappings without needing to set one column at the time every time?

Hi
When I deploy a database (mdf and ldf) and attch the database I get errors when my stored procedures attempt to call CLR stored procs.
Error regards database trust and assembly safety etc. This works on my development system/database so it's setup correclty there.
Clearly I'm missing some additional setup when attaching the database to another server instance. Can't figure it out though. I'm marking the assembly UNSAFE (it requires network access) and the database as trustworthy when attaching but the error persists. Also making sure the server instance has CLR enabled.
What am I missing? Any ideas?
We have both a custom data extension and a custom authentication extension for Reporting Services 2000.
Reports with one dataset work great, but reports with more than one dataset fail because the Authentication extension call GetUserInfo no longer has an HttpContext when the second dataset calls into it.
I've seen several people post this same problem on other forums but no answers. Documentation of an msdn article states "the security extension will always be loaded in the Report Server app domain" so I don't understand how we could lose the context.
Additionally, ALL samples of an authentication extension I've looked at have GetUserInfo coded the same way:
Code Snippet
Public Sub GetUserInfo(ByRef userIdentity As System.Security.Principal.IIdentity, ByRef userId As System.IntPtr) Implements Microsoft.ReportingServices.Interfaces.IAuthenticationExtension.GetUserInfo
If Not System.Web.HttpContext.Current Is Nothing _
AndAlso Not System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User Is Nothing Then
userIdentity = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity
Else
userIdentity = Nothing
End If
userId = IntPtr.Zero
End Sub
Any help or insights would be GREATLY appreciated - thanks, Ken.

Hi
I've simplified this so I can test it's not me and so it's easier to explain.
I have one table in SQL server called Table1. Five fields called: One, Two, Three, Four, Five. Values of NULL, 2, 3, 4, NULL.
Reporting services, put a table in a report. Two fields. Header of Field1 and Field2.
Value field data for Field1 ="One: " & vbcrlf & "Two: " & vbcrlf & "Three: " & vbcrlf & "Four: " & vbcrlf & "Five: "
Value field data for Field2 =Fields!One.Value & vbcrlf & Fields!Two.Value & vbcrlf & Fields!Three.Value & vbcrlf & Fields!Four.Value & vbcrlf & Fields!Five.Value
Preview the report, all is well, you get this:
Field1 Field2
One:
Two: 2
Three: 3
Four: 4
Five:
Export it to a PDF, all is not well, I get this:
Field1 Field2
One: 2
Two: 3
Three: 4
Four:
Five:
I can make it work by checking the NULL fields and replacing them with a character. But why does it ignore the vbCRLF when exported to a PDF?
Any ideas...
I am performing a series of calculations where accuracy is very important, so have a quick question about single vs double precision variables in SQL 2008.
I'm assuming that there is an easy way to cast a variable that is currently stored as a FLOAT as a DOUBLE prior to these calculations for reduced rounding errors, but I can't seem to find it.
I've tried CAST and CONVERT, but get errors when I try to convert to DOUBLE.
For example...
SELECT CAST(1.0/7.0 AS FLOAT)
SELECT CONVERT(FLOAT, 1.0/7.0)
both give the same 6 decimal place approximation, and the 6 decimals make me think this is single precision.
But I get errors if I try to change the word FLOAT to DOUBLE in either one of those commands...
SELECT CAST(1.0/7.0 AS DOUBLE)
gives "Incorrect syntax near )"
SELECT CONVERT(DOUBLE, 1.0/7.0)
gives "Incorrect syntax near ,"
hi,
i wonder if anyone of you could tell me how i can get around the following problem:
i have text files with custom field and line delimiters (µ and ÿ). i import those files in dts objects using a connection to the text file. if the last field of the last record is empty, the importer loses the last record. is there any way to change this behaviour? or is there any way to have a special text in there, so that the importer recognizes it as a null value?
if you could help me out here it would eb highly appreciated.

Hi all,
I am using client reports and SQL server 2005. I have created reports that accepts datasets and displays in the reports. I am also displaying the client's product image in the reports.
The problem I am facing is this.
When I export the report to excel for the first time every thing is fine. The issue is when I export after the second time.
From the second time whenever i export the report to EXCEL, I see that the second excel sheet does not follow the same alignment and format the first one had.
This is more a medium level annoyance than a problem. When I save a package, close it and later re-open it, the precendence constraints end up all over the place making my neatly layed out diagram a shambles.
Call me anally retentive if you like (you wont be the first ), but I find this extremely annoying. Does anybody else have this problem? Does anyone have a solution?
Hi,
My first post here. I have an Analysis Services Cube and I need to export some of its data into a flat file (a semicolon separated value file) with fixed length columns.
What I have in Integration Services now is:
DataReader Source (ADO.Net conection)
Data Transformation (NTEXT -> WSTR)
Derived Column (WSTR -> STR, and some ISNULL validation)
Flat File Destination (Delimited by ";")
the thing is I have all the measures and calculated measures in the cube formated with format strings and they work fine when I do a query through the SQL server Managment Studio, but in Integration Services before the columns are written into the file they lose its format.
for example, I have a calculated member called "Deuda Total Nacional" that returns something like this +0001234,00 and I need to take off the decimal separator so it is written into the file like this +000123400 , I'm doing it this way
(ISNULL([Deuda Total Nacional]) ? "+00000000000" : REPLACE([Deuda Total Nacional],",",""))
instead it is written like this 1234.
I hope you can help me with this.
Thanks
I have a database that I am trying to copy to sql server 2005 and when I copy it the "Identity Seed" property loses its value.
I have tried to use the "Export" method by right clicking on the database then going to "Tasks" then "Export Data"
This copies all of the data but it removes the "Identity Seed" value.
When I run the "copy database" function it will also copy all of the data in the database but it will still not keep the "Identity Seed" value
I have many tables in the database with the identity seed field set to 1 on the primary key so that it will automatically create the primary key for each record.
Without this errors will occur in my web application because it thinks that I am trying to enter a null value into the primary key when it is supposed to auto populate.
When I export it with sql server 2005 it turns it back to zero.
The export function worked fine in Sql server 2000
The only way I can get it to work is by backing up the database and restoring it, but this is very time consuming and adds many steps to the process, and also makes it so that I have to overwrite my old database with the same name.
Is there a way to use the export function or the copy database function to retain the Identity Seed value
I really need this to continue do the switch to 2005 server. It seems like this may be a bug of some sort
Hi, I have a database field of type "money". But when I rerieve it to text box, it shows 5.0000, but I want only 5.00 to be shown. How do I format that?

We have a built a custom control flow task that we use frequently. It has a simple user interface form where we can set certain properties. Problem is, after I configure it once and then copy and paste it all of the internal property settings seem to be lost on the newly pasted task. When I open up the editor for the task all of the properties are displayed visually in the editor form, but the properties pane is empty.
How can this be corrected?
