Invalid Char Value Cast Spec Error

Nov 15, 2007

First, I hope this is in the correct spot.

I'm trying to build a SS 2005 db from a Sqlbase database and I have coded a program to bring over the data and insert. The problem I'm having is that on some of the tables, I'm getting an "Invalid character value for cast specification" error on an insert. I've found the offending row and discovered that it's an integer that is null in the source table.

The weirdness is, that in SqlServer, it is defined as an "int" column that can be null. I can insert the row through both Management console (connected natively) and through a sql utility from Sqlbase/Gupta (called sqltalk) connected thru ODBC. The problem is when I try the insert through OLEDB within the application, that's when I get the error. I changed the value from null to zero in the source table then it works. I think there must be a "set **** on" on the connection that I'm missing if I can enter the SAME data using Management console but I'm not sure what that is. I don't want to have to find ALL occurences of null integers in my entire database just to insert it into SqlServer.

Has anyone else had this problem??

BCP Error Invalid Character Value For Cast Specif

Apr 30, 2008

I'm usung bcp to move data from one table to another. 202 million rows. The source/original table had 32 fields. The new table has 33 fields. I added a PK column to the destination/new table. The new PK column is the first field in the new table, it is set to autoincrement by 1 on each insert. The data file only has 32 fields of data per row.


The error is :SQLState = 22018, NativeError = 0 Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Invalid character value for cast specification

10 times, then bcp shuts off (default errors is 10).

Invalid Character Value For Cast Specification Error Upon Importing Text File

Apr 23, 2007

Hi all--Given a table called "buyers" with the following column definitions in a SQL Server 2005 database:



[BUYER] [nvarchar](40) NULL,

[DIVISION] [nvarchar](3) NULL,

[MOD_DATE] [datetime] NULL



This table is laden with Unicode data and the MOD_DATE contains no data--not even NULL values, and is giving me a headache as a result. I can export this data fine to a text file, but when I create an SSIS package to attempt import to another table defined exactly the same as above in another place, I get the following messages:

Among the customizations in this package is the flag "ValidateExternalMetadata" set to False. The data itself is surrounded by " and delimited by semicolons for each field, with the header row set as the name of each column. It looks like this:



"BUYER";"DIVISION";"MOD_DATE"
"108 Joon-Hyn Kim";"TAD";""
"109 Kang-Soo Do";"TAD";""
"FS07 John Smith";"TAD";""

...



Can anyone suggest a course of action on how to handle the error when the MOD_DATE field is completely empty?



Thanks in advance,

Jonathan

Invalid Character Value For Cast Specification

Jan 25, 2008

Hi All,

accessing through ODBC a frond end application which is running on MS SQL Server 2005, works just fine with a specific setup as concerned as the decimal/thousands separators ("," for thousands and "." for decimals). If i switch these settings alternatively ("." for thousands and "," for decimals), i get this error:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid character value for cast specification.

I tried to search forum and internet but no luck.
Thanks in advance

Invalid Character Value For Cast Specification

Mar 13, 2008

hello,
i have a problem with SQL Server Agent. Sometimes, when a scheduled job runs i get this error:

Error: 2008-03-13 06:04:50.50 Code: 0xC0202009 Source: Load Current OLE DB Destination [124] Description: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.

End Error Error: 2008-03-13 06:04:50.52 Code: 0xC0209029 Source: Load Current OLE DB Destination [124]

the code i use looks like this

DECLARE @Report_date datetime
SET @Report_date = dateadd(dd,-1,convert(varchar(10),getdate(),121))

select
CollectDate = @Report_date


the destination column is datetime.
Is this a known issue / bug? Because this doesn't happen everytime, and when it does happen all i have to do ia run the job again.


Thank you in advance

Invalid Character Value For Cast Specification

Oct 31, 2007


I have a Data Flow task that is simply copying data from table A to table B. (there is a derived column in between however)

All the columns in table A are varchar(255). The columns in table B vary: floats, decimals, etc

However, I am getting a bazillion errors when I run this, each of them to the effect that:

Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Invalid character value for cast specification". An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client"

I don't understand why this is happening... I've succesfully run similar scenarios with other packages, ie) moving data from one table to another table even though the tables have different data types.

Help

Thanks

Specific Invalid Character Value For Cast Specification Problem

May 25, 2007

Hi, I'm a new DBA and am a rookie when it comes to working with SQL Server 2005. I have been tasked with transfering an Access database to SQL Server 2005. Now I understand to use the import/export wizard, but am having problems fixing an error I am receiving. Here is the error...

(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)

Here is the short version of the error. I realize that there is an error with the conversion and the error is in tblResource in column Contract Start Date. It is still transfering the column over, and on spot check they seem fine. Should I be really worried about an error? Or is there something that I can do with the Access or SQL server database to fix this?

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Error Altering Field Spec In A Table

Apr 18, 2014

I have a db1.tPersonJobHist where I have two columns

[WorkflowCoordinatorFlag] [dbo].[shrsFlag] NOT NULL,
[HRBusinessPartnerCode] [dbo].[shrsCode] NULL,

Our developer mistakenly made HRbusinesspartnercode field as nullable. He now wants to change it to Not Nullable.

So there were 4 rows where the values were not null(not sure how). We edited those rows and changed those values to NUll. Now we have no Nulls in that column.

So we brought up the table designer and made the change but got the following error

'tPersonJobHist' table
- Unable to modify table.

Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'HRBusinessPartnerCode', table 'BD6578.dbo.Tmp_tPersonJobHist'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.

The statement has been terminated.

Question is why wouldn't it let me alter the table design. and what is tmp_tpersonjobhist.?

How can I make this column Not-nullable.

Passing GUID Into Dtexec, Invalid Cast To A String Variable. Solution??

Oct 4, 2006

I am getting an invalid cast specification when I call dtexec and try to /SET a user variable within the package that is defined as a string data type. Is there any solution to this? I have tried passing the GUID with {} w/o {} w/ '' w/ "" etc.. many variations... and still get an invalid cast specification. Is there a data type that I need to set the User variable to besides String? The User Variable is used to Select records from a SQL data source where the GUID is stored. I do not have an option of GUID data type for a User Variable.

Thanks for any help! Aaron B.

Cast Error, Please Help!

Jan 3, 2008

I'm encountering a Cast error, and find I am very much out of my league... I'm using a Derived Column Transformation to convert a column that comes from an Excel spreadsheet from a non-standard date format to DT_Date, though I picked this format simply because it was the first date format I found in the pick list. When I upload the ETL into Management Studio and run it I get the following error:

The data that is being converted appears as one of two things. First it can appear as a string value with 0 characters (that does not appear a Null oddly). Second it will appear as a string value representing a date in the following format 01022008 7:38 which is a date in the following the format 2 Digit Month, 2 Digit Day, 4 Digit Year, Space Time in Military Time.

LEN([Completed Date Time]) == 0 || ISNULL([Completed Date Time]) ? NULL(DT_DATE) : (DT_DATE)(SUBSTRING([Completed Date Time],1,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING([Completed Date Time],3,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING([Completed Date Time],5,10))

Handling CAST Error On The Fly

Mar 26, 2002

I want to load a smallint field with values from a varchar field; e.g. CAST(field as SMALLINT). This is in a bulk copy insert so of course there are the few fields that have '1773A' for example and error out the CAST. Anyone know of a way to return 0 (or 1) if CAST errors on conversion ?

This is the test script that's trying to convert 3750 records (an unknown minority of records contain alpha characters):

create table alstest (field1 smallint)
insert into alstest (field1)
select CAST(conf_number AS SMALLINT) from conference

How To Spec A SQL Server

Jul 20, 2005

HelloWe are upgrading our DB server to a new machine and there is a heateddebate about what spec machine to use.We have on this server a 15 GB DB that handled around 2-3 milliontransactions / day, 50% updates and 50& reads roughly, the main goalsince it is used by an interactive end user application is speed forupdates and reads, it does not need to do any heavy calculations atall during daytime, at nighttime it does a lot of batch jobs, goingthrough the data and inserting results into different tables.the main questions I have is:Single or Dual CPUAMD 64 or Intel CPU2 or 4 GB of RAMDIsk Setup for max I/O, we are thinking, mirror for the OS, mirror forthe DB logs and RAID 5 for the DB data, using 2 different RAIDcontrollers to try and maximize disk I/O, keeping the logs and OS onone controller and DB data on the second controller.is there anything I need to watch out for? or something to pay moreattention to than other things?ANy advice would be greatly appreciatedrgdsMatt

Help! H/W Spec For SQL Server 2000

Jun 23, 2004

Hi,

I have a SQL server 2000 database running in Windows Server 2000. The database only consists of a handful of tables and is taking multiple inserts from @40 client PCs.

The server exists on two servers with half the clients talking to each. The databases use transactional replication to stay synchronised.

Each PC generates about 100 SQL transactions per busy hour, each being an insert.

The customer is expanding the number of client PCs from 40, through 300 to, ultimately, about 3000. They are asking me what hardware spec is required and want to be told it in a “for each additional 50 client applications you need XYZ” type of format to allow for gradual growth.

I have to say I am unsure how to go about scaling and configuring the servers!

So, is there such a thing as an automatic ‘configurator’ which automatically produces a required spec for a given number of transactions and clients? Are there other criteria they/I need to take into account such as number of logins etc? For archiving I am guessing that a CD/RW drive is the way to go?

Also, in terms of design between the two servers they have. With clustering, mirroring, replication etc I am unsure as to which is most appropriate.

The thing I do know is that they are willing to spend serious $$$ for the right design and need 99.9% up time.

They also pull significant amount of reports which I think logically equates to a third server to keep this traffic away from the live database. So, is replication the best way to go? Say replication every 15 minutes to a reports server?

I am also of the opinion that they need to move from Windows 2000 Server to Advanced Server for added scalability but will pursue that elsewhere.

Any input MUCH appreciated.

Out of my depth! :confused:

Formatting A Field To Spec In SQL

Oct 5, 2006



Can anyone tell me how to format a field to spec?

Example:

Select num_field from table = 12345

I want

Select Format(num_field,"0000000000") from table = 0000012345

or some equivalent. I know in Access you could do this using the Format function, but I cannot seem to find anything like this in SQL.

Thanks in advance,



Michael

SSIS Error: Unable To Cast COM Object

Oct 10, 2007

Hi,

I get the following error opening an existing (or working) ssis package on my new server.

Error loading 'TestExecutionFromScript.dtsx' : Unable to cast COM object of type 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper.PackageNeutralClass' to interface type 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper.IDTSContainer90'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{8BDFE892-E9D8-4D23-9739-DA807BCDC2AC}' failed due to the following error: Library not registered. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8002801D (TYPE_E_LIBNOTREGISTERED))..

I found in a blog that this is caused due to a dll which is not registered ("DTS.dll")

Can anyone try to explain the exact reason for this? I am not even able to execute a package from the command prompt using the dtexec utility. I have "Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services Designer Version 9.00.3042.00" on my server. My other machine which executed this package successfully was running "Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services Designer Version 9.00.1399.00".

Thanks very much for any kind of help.
