Currently, we are facing a serious problem of conversion from Sql Query to Semantic Query and we are looking for any API or Component that handles this conversion process.
Requirement Details:
I'd like to tell the story happened which lead us to this requirement. We want to convert Shazam Reports (SRW) to Reporting Services (RDL) reports that support Report Builder (semantic queries). So, we planned to convert the SRW query structure into a SQL query structure and later to Semantic Query, which is recognized by the Report Builder.
In that process, we've successfully developed a parser component that parses the SRW's query structure into standard Sql query structure but now we struggling, as we don't know how to convert an sql query into semantic query.
We are running out of time and any information towards the solution is a great help to us.
I have this query: SELECT Trim(Left([Display Name],InStr([Display Name],",")-1))+Trim(Mid([Display Name],InStr([Display Name],",")+2,1)) AS UserName, dbo_Employee.[Display Name] FROM dbo_Employee; Works good in access, but when trying to put it un sql server, it comes up with errors. I know mid is substring, I just don't know what trim and instr are in mssql.
Will it be possible to convert a varchar data type column (having values that are numbers or null only) to a numeric data type column having the number values and the null values not being replaced by 0.
Col A Col A (varchar) (int or numeric) 123 123 124 124 NULL 0 <expected blank> 125 125
I tried using CAST(Col A as int) and it converts the NULL to 0. Will CAST(ISNULL(ColA,'') as int) work? The reason for this requirement is the value 0 will give different meaning to the data. Any insights will be appreciated.
Hi, I've created a SQL union query that grabs the top three values of a test and puts the results together on one line item by a recordnumber. The only problem is, one value is generating the error: " Syntax error converting the varchar value '=' to a column of data type int." This field is an operator field, so it will only display operator values ( <, >, = ). Everything seems to work BUT the union join on that column, which is a varchar data type. I need this union to work, and Im frustrated that I can't seem to figure out why I can't get the logic to work. Can someone take a look at this and help me with it? The union query looks like this:
exec('select RecordNumber,Sum(rank1) as HbA1CRank1,max(Operator1) as HbA1COperator1,sum(contentValue1) as HbA1CContentvalue1,max(dos1) as HbA1CDOS1,Sum(rank2) as HbA1CRank2,max(Operator2) as HbA1COperator2,sum(contentValue2) as HbA1CContentvalue2,max(dos2) as HbA1CDOS2,Sum(rank3) as HbA1CRank3,max(Operator3) as HbA1COperator3,sum(contentValue3) as HbA1CContentvalue3,max(dos3) as HbA1CDOS3 from (SELECT DISTINCT TOP 100 PERCENT recordnumber, Rank AS rank1, cast(Operator as varchar) as Operator1, contentValue AS contentvalue1, DOS AS DOS1, 0 AS rank2, 0 as Operator2, 0 AS contentvalue2, 0 AS DOS2, 0 AS rank3, 0 as Operator3, 0 AS contentvalue3, 0 AS DOS3FROM (SELECT (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tblDiabetic_HgbA1C_Total vw1 WHERE vw1.rECORDnUMBER = vw2.rECORDnUMBER AND vw1.ItemCode = vw2.ItemCode AND vw1.Operator = vw2.Operator AND vw1.DOS > vw2.DOS) AS Rank, * FROM tblDiabetic_HgbA1C_Total vw2) vw3WHERE (Rank = 0)ORDER BY RecordNumber UNION SELECT DISTINCT TOP 100 PERCENT recordnumber, 0 AS rank1, 0 as Operator1, 0 AS contentvalue1, 0 AS DOS1, Rank AS rank2, cast(Operator as varchar) as Operator2, contentValue AS contentvalue2, DOS AS DOS2, 0 AS rank3, 0 as operator3, 0 AS contentvalue3, 0 AS DOS3FROM (SELECT (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tblDiabetic_HgbA1C_Total vw1 WHERE vw1.rECORDnUMBER = vw2.rECORDnUMBER AND vw1.ItemCode = vw2.ItemCode AND vw1.Operator = vw2.Operator AND vw1.DOS > vw2.DOS) AS Rank, * FROM tblDiabetic_HgbA1C_Total vw2) vw3WHERE (Rank = 1)ORDER BY RecordNumber UNION SELECT DISTINCT TOP 100 PERCENT recordnumber, 0 AS rank1, 0 as Operator1, 0 AS contentvalue1, 0 AS DOS1, 0 AS rank2, 0 as operator2, 0 AS contentvalue2, 0 AS DOS2, rank AS rank3, cast(Operator as varchar) as operator3, contentvalue AS contentvalue3, DOS AS DOS3FROM (SELECT (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tblDiabetic_HgbA1C_Total vw1 WHERE vw1.rECORDnUMBER = vw2.rECORDnUMBER AND vw1.ItemCode = vw2.ItemCode AND vw1.Operator = vw2.Operator AND vw1.DOS > vw2.DOS) AS Rank, * FROM tblDiabetic_HgbA1C_Total vw2) vw3WHERE (Rank = 2)ORDER BY RecordNumber )tblHgA1C group by RecordNumber ')GO Can anyone help?

I am trying to construct a query in Query Analyzer (with SQL Server 2000), but am getting an error regarding "implicit conversion."
Here is the query:
SELECT dbo.AUCTION.EbayNum, dbo.AUCTION.EndDate, DATENAME([month], dbo.AUCTION.EndDate) + ' ' + DATENAME([year], dbo.AUCTION.EndDate) AS [PmtMonth], dbo.LOT.Description, dbo.AUCTION.WinBid, PaidStat = CASE dbo.AUCTION.PaidStatus WHEN 0 THEN '' ELSE 'PAID' END, PaidAmt = CASE dbo.AUCTION.PaidStatus WHEN 0 THEN '' ELSE dbo.AUCTION.WinBid END FROM dbo.AUCTION INNER JOIN dbo.LOT ON dbo.AUCTION.LotNum = dbo.LOT.LotNum WHERE (LEN(dbo.AUCTION.Winner) > 0)
The error occurs in the PaidAmt CASE statment: "Implicit conversion from data type varchar to money is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query."
Why is there an implicit conversion going on? And how can I fix it? :mad:
Hi Friends, Need ur help desperately. I am stuck with one of the queries which i had written in Oracle and need the same in SQL Server.Please have a look at the following query :
select * from r_tin_1099_info where instr(translate( nm_ctrl_cd , '~!@#$%^&*()_+}{":?><`-=]['''';/., ', '*******************************' ),'*') > 0;
Basically my purpose is to replace the values in column NM_CTRL_CD having wild card characters with '*' and then select this rows to display.
However i am not able to run the same query in SQL Server since TRANSLATE is not a built in func. I have tried a lot to replace it but could only one func : REPLACE . But the same will not replace any one of the above wild characters but will replace the entire pattern.Please note that it should be able replace even if one of the wild card characters are present in the string and not necessarily the entire pattern shown above.
please reply ASAP since i am working and need this query to fix a defect.
Trying to run a query to get total number of direct mail campaigns by company. Would like the totals to be (1) total number of direct mail campaigns (there are 2 types) (2) total number of direct mail campaigns type direct mail (3) total number of direct mail campaigns type publication
Below is the query I put together with INNER JOIN:
SELECT Agency.PrimaryAgencyName, COUNT(Distinct Campaigns.DirectMailID) AS TotalCampaigns, COUNT(Distinct DirectMail.Type) AS TotalDirectMail
FROM Agency INNER JOIN (Clients INNER JOIN (Campaigns INNER JOIN DirectMail ON DirectMail.DirectMailID = Campaigns.DirectMailID) ON Clients.ClientID = Campaigns.CampaignID) ON Agency.AgencyID = Clients.AgencyID
GROUP BY Agency.PrimaryAgencyName, DirectMail.Month, DirectMail.Type ORDER BY Agency.PrimaryAgencyName
When I run the query, I recent the below error:
Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '1683 1-15017' to data type int.
The value mentioned in the above error message is the ClientID.

I'm converting an ASP system from using msaccess to SQL Server as the db engine, and I'm stumped on the following query
update timecard set TcdDate = #3/18/05#
TcdDate is defined as a date/time type
It will not run with the date bracketed by # signs, and when I take them out, 1/1/1900 is stored in the dbs. Is there a different symbol to bracket the date with or should I be using a function to convert the date?
Hi, I need help. Understatement of the year right now, too = So... I've created a stored procedure that partially pulls a SQL union query to give me a complete one-line result set of a bunch of data... four separate selects comprise the query. The tables are structured identically to each other, but the values being pulled are specific and distinct. All of the non-date values stored are varchar values in the tables, and yet when I execute the SQL union query, I get the error message: Syntax error converting the varchar value to a column of data type int. I know SQL does implicit conversions, however Im not sure why it's trying to do that with this query, I suppose. it should have been straightforward. Any suggestions? Here is the query logic to look at, in case I'm missing the obvious

I am extracting data from SQL Server 2005 to flat file destination. I am using SQL Command to specify the data selection query. One of my query uses Replicate function to derive a column value. When I execute this package it fails with the error "Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "value" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page".
The reason for the problem is that, it is taking the InputColumnWidth of the flat file destination as 8000 and I specified the OutputColumnWidth as 4.
If I change the OutputColumnWidth to 8000, it is working without any error but resulting in the column width of 8000.
I tried using DerivedColumn Transformation's Type cast and DataConversion Transformation but still I am getting the same error in the respective Transformation components.
just wondering if anyone out there has any advice or feedback regarding an upgrade conversion from 6.5 to 7.0 via the wizard? is this as straightforward as it sounds?
the only bad thing i have heard is when an upgrade is done from 6.5 to 7.0 and the 6.5 database utilized system tables . . . any feedback would be sincerely appreciated.
Hello, I would like to convert some of the rows in a column that has a data type of int to a decimal. Should I change the data type of the whole field to decimal or numeric, it seems like no matter what I do I cannot get certain rows to come up with a decimal number even though when I run a cast or convert it gives me the correct number of rows affected when I look at the data it is still in int format. Although this seems simple I am not having any luck getting this to work. Any help would be appreciated.
We had a database MS-Access with DAO statements and we are upgrading our Database to MS-SqlServer which in need to convert the DAO statements to ADO statements. What i want to know is there any free tool which converts automatically to convert DAO statements to ADO statements. If so what is it?

Hi! I have a Fact_ETL process with several Lookups. I need to compare a ID-string datatype DT_14 from OLE DB Source to string DT_18 from Dim_salesperson.

I would be so grateful if someone could give an idea...

Hi does anybody know how to programmatically convert an SQL Server table into a dbf or an excel spreadsheet? I'm using C#. Also, i need to put the new table into a different folder. Thanks.
I am getting a "Syntax error converting the varchar value '10,90' to a column of data type int." error when I run the following procedure:
@myList varchar(200)
SELECT column1 FROM table1 WHERE table1.ID IN (@myList)
When @myList is a single value, I get no errors. However, when @myList is a comma separated list like in the message above, I error out. I am using SQL Server 2000.
How else can I build this list of IDs? Thank you in advance for your comments.
