SQL2005 Data Import Error, Unicode Data Is Odd Byte Size For Column &&<n&&>. Should Be Even Byte Size


Hi, I have a problem importing data from SQL Server 2000 'text' columns to SQL Server 2005 nvarchar(max) columns.  I get the following error when encountering a transfer of any column that matches the above.
The error is copied below,

Any help on this greatly appreciated...

CLR UDT Max Byte Size
Hello,

I need some help working with CLR UDTs. I have created two UDTs called trajectory and point. Each trajectory consists of a list of points. Each point consists of three members : lon( type double), lat( type double) and datetime.

I have written my own IBinarySerialize.Write method for the trajectory type which is the following:

Dim maxSize As Integer = 4000
Dim value As String = ""
Dim paddedvalue As String

Dim i As Integer
Dim pt As Point

For i = 0 To point_list.Count - 1

pt = point_list.Item(i)

If i = 0 Then
value = value & pt.X & "|" & pt.Y & "|" & pt.D

Else

value = value & ">" & pt.X & "|" & pt.Y & "|" & pt.D
End If

Next

paddedvalue = value.PadRight(maxSize, ControlChars.NullChar)

For i = 0 To paddedvalue.Length - 1 Step 1
w.Write(paddedvalue(i))
Next

If I try to store 225 points for a trajectory then the following error occurs:

System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlTypeException: The buffer is insufficient. Read or write operation failed.

Why is that happening? The limit size for a UDT is 8000bytes. Each point needs 24Bytes (2*SizeOf(double) + sizeOf(Datetime)).

Please help

Do Stored Procedures Have A Limit On Number Of Parameters Or Byte Size Passed In?
Hi,I'm using c# with a tableadapter to call stored procedures. I'm running into a problem where if I have over a certain byte size or number of parameters being passed into my stored proc I get an exception that reads: "Cannot evaluate expression because a thread is stopped at a point where garbage collection is impossible, possibly because the code is optimized." If I remove one parameter, the problem goes away. Has anyone run into this before? Thanks,Mark

Breaking Data Into 1500 Byte Chunks
Hi,

I have a text file (5 MB). It appears as a single line in a text editor. But actually it has records of 1500 byte length each.

I want to strip it down to 1500 byte records. So 1500*3500 = 5 MB (approx). The record size is always 1500 bytes.

Does anyone have a script that I can run on this file to achieve this break.

Thanks

DTS Error: Data For Source Column 2 (‘column_name) Is Too Large For The Specified Buffer Size.
Hi,
 
I’m attempting to use DTS to import data from a Memo field in MS Access (Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider) into a SQL Server nvarchar(4000) field.  Unfortunately, I’m getting the following error message:
 
Error at Source for Row number 30. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1.
Data for source column 2 (‘Html’) is too large for the specified buffer size.
 
I also get this error message when attempting to import the same data from Excel.
 
Per the MS Knowledgebase article located at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=281517, I changed the registry property indicated to 0.  This modification did not help. 
 
Per suggestions in other SQL Server forums, I moved the offending row from row number 30 to row number 1.  This change only resulted in the same error message, but with the row number indicated as “Row number 1â€?.  (Incidentally, the data in this field is greater than 255 characters in every row, so the cause described in the Knowledgebase article doesn’t seem to be my problem).
 
You might also like to know that the data in the Access table was exported into this table from a SQL Server nvarchar(4000) field.
 
Does anybody know what might trigger this error message other than the data being less than 255 characters in the first eight rows (as described in the KB article)?
 
I’ve hit a brick wall, so I’d appreciate any insight.Thanks in advance!

DTS - Zerp Byte File Import And DontExecuteTask
Hi, I'm a bit new to DTS but the problem I have encountered relates to importing a text file. On occasion the file is zero bytes which causes an error in DTS. I have added some VBScript to the workflow to check the filesize. If size > 0 then I set Main = DTSStepScriptResult_ExecuteTask otherwise Main = DTSStepScriptResult_DontExecuteTask. This all works fine except that when the file is 0 the dependent process that is waiting for completion/success does not run, presumably because the task was not run (as reqd). I have tried setting the status rather the DontExecuteTask but then the task runs anyway creating the error. Anyonw know how to get this to work or how to get around the problem?

Derived Column Can't Add 8-byte Integers
I'm having trouble adding a 4-byte integer with an 8-byte integer.  Here's what I'm doing:

 

Column Name: BIG_ID  

Derived Column:  < add as new column >      

Expression:   (DT_I8)[ID] + 840230000538058

Data Type:  eight-byte signed integer  {DT_I8]

 

The error I get:

 

The literal 840230000538058 is too large to fit into type DT_I4.  The magnitude of the literal overflows the type.

 

 

Then I try the expression:

 

(DT_I8)[ID] + (DT_I8)840230000538058

 

and

 

[ID] + 840230000538058

 

and get the same error.

 

 

What am I doing wrong?  Is it possible to add 2 8-byte integers in regular expression?  Why does it still think the literal is DT_I4?

 

Thanks,

Michael

Best Practice For Data Size/Log Size Ratio
Just wanted to know what is a general rule of thumb when determining log file space against a database's data file.We allow our data file for our database to grow 10%, unlimited. We do not allow our log file to autogrow due to a specific and poorly written process (which we are in a three month process of remove) that can balloon the log file size.Should it be 10% of the Data file, i.e. if the Date file size is 800MB the log file should be 8MB?I realize there are a myraid of factors that go against file size but a general starting point would be nice.ThanksJeff--Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.com

Estimating Data Size And Log Size In A Database
Question 1:
I wonder if anyone could help me on estimating the acutal data size and its log size for MS-SQL Server version 7. I know that on-line book specifies the procedure of the data size but I have some data items with attribute of data type as "Text".
In order to include the data type "Text" how many bytes of overhead and fill factor to be considered for data size calculations?

Question 2:
Also, I want to know that if anyone can help me with log size calculation for a table. It's just not good enough if the on-line book says to take from 25 to 50 % or something....it is too vague and I can not take the answer.

Here are the example of the table and if anyone can include the answers to the questions above. It will be great.

(Example:)
Can anyone help me to figure out the data and log size respectively based on the conditions below:
----------------------------------------------
1. Table Name: A_TBL
2. Table Format:
Item Data Type Length
--------------------------------------------------------
EmployeeNumber Char 20
EmployeeName Char 50
EmployeeURL TEXT 16 -----pointing---> 256
EmployeeMemo TEXT 16 -----pointing--->1000
EmployeeTitleNo Int 4

3. DB(Table) access frequency per transaction:
Insert = 1 time/transaction
Update= 2 times/tranaction
Select = 6 times/tranaction

4. Transaction occurred: 10 times, therefore; 10 INSERT, 20 UPDATE, 60 SELECT statements are issued.
(I guess 60 SELECT statements are not subject to be in the log so forget the SELECT statement)

5. Fill Factor 100 for all the data type.

6. Non-Clustered index is set for the above.

I really want to know about it, please help me on this.

Using C#, SQL Server 2005, ASP.NET 2, in a web app, I've tried removing the size from parameters of type NCHAR, NVARCHAR, and VARCHAR.  I'd rather just send a string and let the size of the parameter in the SP truncate any extra chars if need be. I began getting the error below, and eventually realized it happened only with output parameters, as in the code snippet below.String[3]: the Size property has an invalid size of 0.   par = new SqlParameter("@BusinessEntity", SqlDbType.NVarChar);  par.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;  cmd.Parameters.Add(par);  cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();What's the logic behind this?

SQL Binary To C# Byte[]

So for example, If I store length of 16 and when I try to retrive it back into byte [] in C# it returns whole length 20. When I see in debug it has value from 0 to 15 which I want to use but from 16 to 19 is zero. How can I get just length value which I stored.

I use DataRow to get whole row and from the row object I extract byte [] based on column name.

Doube Byte Characters
I want to store some double byte characters in a table. Originally I planed to change all data type of fields which will store double bytes from VARCHAR() to NVARCHAR(). But i just found out we have no problem to pull and store foreign content(double byte characters) in fields with VARCHAR type( the content is showing correct after stored in database)

my question is : if VARCHAR can handle double byte character, what's the point of using NVARCHAR to store unicode character? any advice is appreciated.

DTS: Handling Zero Byte Input Files
Good Day,

I have a situation where I need to be able to gracefully handle zero byte text files to be processed by DTS (using ActiveX Script transformations).

I have a job set up in SQL Server that executes several DTS packages, then executes a Transact SQL script to process the data imported by DTS. This all works fine, but there are instances where some of files have no data to be imported. This causes the entire job to fail -- I don't want to alter the job to continue on an error because there is a legimate potential for errors. I do, however, want to be to have the job continue if one of the DTS packages has no data to process. Is there a way (DTS object method, property) to check for the absence of data before the DTS package errors out? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Connecting To Double Byte Progress (MFG-PRO) Databases From SSIS...
 
Hello



We use MFG-PRO as our ERP system which in turn uses Progress databases. In the old version of SQL 2000, using DTS packages, we used to set the code page via command prompts and execute DTS packages within that command prompt to fetch data from our double byte ERP databases. In SSIS, we are able to connect and fecth data from NON
Double Byte databases, however, when we set the code page first and execute via a command prompt the SSIS package, we get the following error. We used a ADO.NET connection to connect to our Source ERP System. What shocks me is that this functionality works well in SQL Server 2000 DTS packages but not in the much publicized SSIS packages. The error messages are so cryptic as they used to be in DTS days and do not help a wee bit!
 
Appreciate any help.


Thanks

Quick Question On Nvarchar And Single Byte Characters.
if single byte characters are stored, does it take up two bytes in the database anyway, or does it only take up one byte?

How To: Store And Retrieve Images In A Database As A Byte Array.
I€™ve inherited a project from one of the guys on our team who will be out sick for a while.  He developed two for marshaling data between System.Drawing.Image and System.Byte().  He€™s storing the byte array data in a database image field.
 
I€™ve retrieved the byte array data from his database image fields and have successfully converted them to images using his ConvertByteArrayToImage method below.  I have also converted and image to a byte array with his ConvertImageToByteArray method below and succfully stored the data in a database image field.  However, when I retrieve the byte array data that I stored in the database the last line in his ConvertByteArrayToImage method throws an exception (Parameter is not valid).  I€™ve not been able to find a working copy of his code that€™s storing the byte array data.  Does anyone see anything I€™m overlooking?

Searching A String With Asian Characters (double Byte)
My problem is that i can't search a field that contains Asian characters (Korean in this case).

 

The table user_Access_tab have 2 keys:

access_id       nVarchar(50)

user_id            nVarchar(50)

 

The sql query below is sent through a oledbcommand to a sql server 2005 database.

 

"select access_id, access_right from user_Access_tab where user_id ='HQ001kimjo012007-05-07 오전 11:50:323401'"

 

It doesn't show any hits even thogh i know there is a number of matching records.

 

The question doesn't generate an answer in SQL server manager studio eigher.

 

If i change the datatype on user_id to Varchar(50) the id is presented (in the database) as:

HQ001kimjo012007-05-07 ?? 11:50:323401

 

Then the question works, but why doesn't it work with nVarChar(50)?

Data Used Bigger Than Data Size
One of our databases has the following sizes:

Data used : 4017.14MB (191.29%)
Indexes 35.48 mb (1.69%)
Unused : 5.27 MB (0.25 %)
Unreserved: -1957.89 mb (- 93.23 %)
Total Size 2100MB

looking at this the data size is 2100Mb and the data used is more at 4014.14MB.

How can I sort this out, do I simply need to create another device and expand the database or do I need to do something else?

Cheers

Writing Byte Stream To Flat File Destination (ebcdic)
Hello all,
  I was trying to run a test to write a ebcdic file out with a comp - 3 number (testing this for other people) and have run into a problem writing the string out to the flat file destination.  I have the following script component:



Code Block
 
' Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services user script component
' This is your new script component in Microsoft Visual Basic .NET
' ScriptMain is the entrypoint class for script components
Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Math
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper
Public Class ScriptMain
Inherits UserComponent
Public Overrides Sub CreateNewOutputRows()
'
' Add rows by calling AddRow method on member variable called "Buffer"
' E.g., MyOutputBuffer.AddRow() if your output was named "My Output"
'
Output0Buffer.AddRow()
Dim myByteArray() As Byte = {&H12, &H34, &H56, &H7F}
Output0Buffer.myByteStream = myByteArray
Output0Buffer.myString = "ABCD"
Output0Buffer.myString2 = "B123"
myByteArray = Nothing
End Sub
End Class
 
 


I have added myByteStream as a DT_BYTES length 4, myString as (DT_STR, 4, 37) and myString2 as (DT_STR, 4, 37) to the output 0 buffer. 
 
I then add a flat file destination with code set 37 (ebcdic us / canda) with the corresponding columns using fixed width.
 
When i place a dataviewer on the line between the two the output looks as I expect ("0x12 0x34 0x56 0x7F", "ABCD", "B123").  However, when it gets to the flat file destination it errors out with the following:
 



Code Block
[Flat File Destination [54]] Error: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "myByteStream" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".
 
 
If i increase the size of the byte stream (say, to 50) the error goes away but I am left with the string "1234567F" instead of the appropriate hex values.  Any clues on how to go about this?  I obviously don't care if it gets transferred to "readable" text as this is supposed to be a binary stream, thus the no match in target page seems superfulous but is probably what is causing the problems.
 
NOTE: this is relating to the following thread (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2300539&SiteID=1) in that I am trying to determine why these people are not seeing the "UseBinaryFormat" when importing an EBCDIC file (i see this fine when i use an ftp'd file, but it auto converts to ascii) with comp-3 values.  I also see the "UseBinaryFormat" when I am importing a regular EBCDIC file which I create that has no import errors with zoned decimals.

Import Data From ODBC To SQL2005
Hi, there;
I want to importing data from ODBC, I created DataReader Source which use a .NET Provide Odbc Data Provider and connected successfully. My destination is a OLE DB Destination that points to SQL2005. I set the SQL command as "SELECT * from ....".
I also have problem to create new table in SQL2005 using SSIS Import and Export Wizard, it doesn't know the source table table schema (two date type column). So I create the new table manully and run the package, I got error:

Can any one know what's wrong here?

And it is quite pain that you have to specify the table name  every time you want to create a new table in SQL2005. It is so easy in SQL2000!!!

How To Import MySQL Data Into SQL2005
Hello everybody,

I'm a new SQL2005 user.
I'm trying to import data from MySQL version 5x into my SQL2005 by wizard. I created a DNS file and tested successfully using MySQL Connector/ODBC v5. 
Everthing seems fine but at the last step selecting data source. The SQL2005 wizard forced me to choose using SQL command option instead of selecting tables/views from a list. Anyone can tell me why?  My collegues faced the same case as they help me to find the reason. I'm sure that there are a few source objetcts in MySQL source.

Any help will be appreciated!!!
