I need to convert a a string column to integer. Before converting, I need to check if it has blank values then convert it to NULL. Someone told me that its easier to convert it to NULL before converting to integer.
View 5 RepliesI am dealing with what I believe is Oracle that is the source of a SQL View.
I am seeing a data type of Integer in the View, but I am not able to see what makes up that View. When I query the View, I can see that an Integer data type column is storing a blank space. I use ISNUMERIC(ColumnName) = 0 and there are a lot of rows that show as a zero length blank space, or text, or something. I just know that it is not an Integer.
I have attempted to CAST and Convert this value, but it will not. I have changed the data type on the table that is being inserted in too, and it still fails with a Conversion error. I have tried REPLACE(), but still the same conversion error.
Hello,
I have a simple question. Is it at all possible to replace columns which has nulls with blank spaces for a float data type column.
The columns has null values( written)) in it in some rows and has numbers in other rows . I want to remove nulls before copying it to another file.
Thanks

I'm using SSIS 2005 Enterprise edition, I'm creating a package that reads an excel (xls) file using the "excel source" component, and it dumps the data into an OLEDB destination (a sql server). When I drag the excel source component and create the excel connection to my file the component automatically reads the columns and their datatypes.
The problem is that I have a column which has numeric data and the package uploads as NULL every number that starts with a zero. (note: in excel this column is formatted as "text", despite it has only numbers, because it's the only way excel maintains the left sided zeros).
So I checked the data types by right clicking the excel source component -> show advanced editor and my surprise is that this column's data type is detected as double-precision float, and it doesn't let me change it. URL... but it only works when the first row of data has a number beginning with zero on this column. How to get the data imported correctly?
I have SQL Server 2012 SSIS. I have Excel source and OLE DB Destination.I have problem with importing CustomerSales column.CustomerSales values like 1000.00,2000.10,3000.30,NotAvailable.So I have decimal values and nvarchar mixed in on Excel column. This is requirement for solution.However SSIS reads only numeric values correctly and nvarchar values are set as Null. Why?
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Import_CustomerSales](
[CustomerId] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[CustomeName] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[CustomerSales] [nvarchar](50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
While importing data from Excel source , some column is getting null value even though excel column has value.To Resolve the issue we tried with
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftOffice14.0Access Connectivity EngineEnginesExcel
1.Change the Value of the Row TypeGuessRows from 8 (Default value) to 0 and ImportMixedType = text
• xls
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftJet4.0EnginesExcel
1.Change the Value of the Row TypeGuessRows from 8 (Default value) to 0 and ImportMixedType = text
the connection string of the excel
UPPER(REVERSE(SUBSTRING( REVERSE(@[User::VarInputExcelFile]), 1, 5) ) ) == ".XLSX" ? "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + @[User::VarInputExcelFile] + ";Extended Properties="Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";":"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=" + @[User::VarInputExcelFile] + ";Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";"
by doing the above setting also , the column is coming as null from excel source even though there is data in excel.
I have an SSIS package that imports data from an Excel file, replaces any value in Excel that reads "NULL" to "", then writes the data to a couple of databases.
What I have discovered today, is I have two columns of dates, an admit date and discharge date column, and what I need to do is anywhere I have a null value in the discharge date column, I have to replace it with the value in the admit date column.
I have searched around online and tried a few things using the Replace funtion in Derived columns but no dice so far.
I have a string variable
string str1="1,2,3,4,5";
I have to use the above comma separated values into a SQL Search query whose datatype is integer. How would i do this Search query in the IN Operator of SQL Server. My query is :
declare @id varchar(50)
set @id= '3,4,6,7'
set @id=(select replace(@id,'''',''))-- in below select query Id is of Integer datatype
select *from ehsservice where id in(@id)
But this query throws following error message:
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '3,4,6,7' to data type int.
I'm trying to import some XLS files that I receive from some suppliers. The problem is that every time they send some columns with text values but formatted as number. When I read those columns with SSIS Excel Source, they come all with null values.
I don't want to change the columns data types every time, so I would like to know if there's a way to bypass the column types that are already there.
I tried to use both the Jet driver and the Office 12 driver. I've already used the IMEX=1 on ExtendedProperties too with no success. Is there a way to force reading the columns as text, even if they have data types assigned to them?
SQL command ....
declare @found int;
set @found = 'select sid from StickyContent where StickyId='+0+' and UserId='+171
exec (@found)
delete from StickyContent where sid = @found
I need to pass this statement from my UI i.e in a single query. I am getting this error.
"Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'select sid from StickyContent where StickyId=' to data type int.
"
I have imported a text file with various data into sql table. all these values have been imported as nvarchar. I need to convert these into Integer. the format of the values is 10length i.e. 0000000.00.
example of data:
0001028.99 - needs to be shown as 1028.99
222.00 - needs to be shown as 222.00
0000190.89 - needs to be shown as 190.89
2708.99 - needs to be shown as 2708.99
00000-50.99 - needs to be shown as -50.99
-109.79 - needs to be shown as -109.70
as you can see some of the values have leading zeros and some don't.
i have tried converting from nvarchar to int and i get the error cannot convert nvarchar to int, i believe it may be because the data contains negative values as well as positive values.
Is there a split function or position function which i can use to extract the data? or any other methods which i can use would be really helpful.
Thanks
I am new to SQL Server and am trying to figure out why it behaves the way it is regarding integers with null values.
I have a table that contains integer datatypes which can be null. If i insert the record with a blank field i receive an INCORRECT SYNTAX NEAR ',' error. If i surround the form value with '', it inserts a 0. Why does SQL Server behave like this? And whats the proper way to handle inserts such as this?
Thanks!
Does anyone know of any cross-references between SQL Server data types and the new data types introduced with SQL Server Integration Services?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI need to separate the data from one column in to two columns based on the transaction type TRAN_TYPE (C is credit, D is Debit)
TRAN-TYPE| AMOUNT
C 20.00
D 30.00
C 50.00
To do that I have this code:
select
CASE WHEN TRAN_TYPE = 'D'THEN CAST (ISNULL(amount, 0) as varchar (30)) end as DEBIT,
CASE WHEN TRAN_TYPE = 'c'THEN CAST (ISNULL(amount, 0) as varchar (30)) end as CREDIT

I have built a SSIS package that bascially updates two columns in table A...the update statement reads;
update Table A
set Colum 1 = ?,('?' is a variable)
Column 2 = ?
In my SSIS package, I would like to be notified/capture, if one or both variables are null....How do I do that ?..error log ?
The package runs fine both ways (if variables are null or not)
Thank you
I have to perform several data checks before loading data into target table. For example I am having 1 flat file with below column
Id Name Age
Int Varchar(100) Int
My requirement is to create package, checks will be performed on each record, column of the files. Any records which failed the checks considered as error records and will be written to the exception table.
I have excel column with numeric and special character values , when I take that into SQL table using SSIS, the special character values enter as null value. the example column values are given bellow

I am attempting to update a sql db using the update and parameter code in VB.net 2003 through MSDE for a web application. It updates changed data OK, but if the textbox value is deleted, the code does not update the sql db. I am new to this, and I'm sure it is something simple. Here is some sample code.
SqlConnection1.Open()
strSQLu = "UPDATE table1 " _

I have my first SSIS package almost working, but I'm having an odd problem and can't find any information to help resolve it.
I'm importing from a flat file (csv) to an existing table (append). I've got a Derived Column transformation in the middle to do some data cleanup. It's all working except for one little problem...
One of the transformations is 'REPLACE([Column 3],"^","; ")', output to a new column. (The input file has a field that uses carets as delimiters between an unknown number of items; I'm changing that to semicolons for easier reading.) Not all rows have data in this column, some will have one item, some will have multiple items.
The REPLACE works except that it fills in repeated data for all the blank rows.
Example:
Incoming data is:
1 Smith,Jane^Jones,Jane
2 Brown,John
3
4 Adams,James^Adams,Jim
5
6 White,Debra
Data inserted into the table is:
1 Smith,Jane; Jones,Jane
2 Brown,John
3 Brown,John
4 Adams,James; Adams,Jim
5 Adams,James; Adams,Jim
6 White,Debra
I've tried to use a Conditional to skip the empty rows, but I can't get that working at all (get syntax errors no matter what I put in).
Any suggestions on how to fix this would be most appreciated!
Thank you.
I have a flat file with the following columns
SampleID Rep_Number Product Protein Fat Solids
In the flat file SampleID and Product are populated in the first row only, rest of the rows only have values for Rep_Number, Protein, Fat, Solids.
SampleID and Product are blank for the rest of the rows. So my task is to fill those blank rows with the first row that has the sampleID and Product and load into the table.

Working on a new database where the Date and Time are stored in a Date Time Field.
Then working on an OLDER database file within the same SQL Database contains these 2 items as integers:
transDate = "71615" (July 16, 2015)
transTime = "12345" (01:23:45 AM)
How do we convert both of them into a single SQL DateTime field such as "2015-07-16 01:23:45.000" so that it can be used in a join restricting to a date time in a different SQL File that properly has the DateTime in it?
This works well for converting the transDate Part in the select statement:
dbo.IntegerToDate(at.transDate) as transDate
* That returns: "2015-07-16 00:00:00.000"
* The resulting data must work directly in a Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Query using either using the "on" statement or part of the "where" clause. In other words, NOT as a stored procedure!
Also must be able to be used as a date difference calculation when comparing the 2 files Within say + or - 5 seconds.

Hi
I've got a view which returns Null values due to an left outer join. The field which sometimes returns Nulls is called ClientCount. I want to create a new field which displays the value of ClientCount if ClientCount is not null and 0 if it is null.
In MS Access I use the following: IIF([ClientCount] Is Null,0,[ClientCount])
This does not seem to work in MS SQL. Is there some equivalent function I could use?
Thanks

I have an excel sheet containing one column (ID_NO) with 400K rows. I have a database from where I have to fetch some other columns from a Netezza database. Initially I tried hardcoding all the 400K rows in the query that I wrote using filter WHERE ID IN ('1212','2334'). But after pasting all the 400K rows the query is running indefinitely.
I have imported all the ID in a SQL table (MY_LIST table). I used a DFT, and selected ODBC source, and selected my netezza server. Then in the 'Data access mode' I selected the SQL command from the dropdown.I pasted the same query that I wrote in Netezza. Is there any way to pull only for those records that I have pulled in my SQL table (MY_LIST) ?
I need to convert a column of data from alpha numeric to integer.
I am only querying the tables i.e. i don't have access to actually change the data tables themselves.
CAST or CONVERT throws up an error. Are there any other commands i can use at the query stage?
The data I need to convert is always actually a number. i.e. even though it is recognised as alpha numeric, the figure is a number.
I just need it to be converted to an integer so i can SUM it etc.
