I have a problem with inserting records into table when an indexed viewis based on it.Table has text field (without it there is no problem, but I need it).Here is a sample code:USE testGOCREATE TABLE dbo.aTable ([id] INT NOT NULL, [text] TEXT NOT NULL)GOCREATE VIEW dbo.aViewWITH SCHEMABINDING ASSELECT [id], CAST([text] AS VARCHAR(8000)) [text]FROM dbo.aTableGOCREATE TRIGGER dbo.aTrigger ON dbo.aView INSTEAD OF INSERTASBEGININSERT INTO aTableSELECT [id], [text]FROM insertedENDGODo the insert into aTable (also through aView).INSERT INTO dbo.aTable VALUES (1, 'a')INSERT INTO dbo.aView VALUES (2, 'b')Still do not have any problem. But when I need index on viewCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX [id] ON dbo.aView ([id])GOI get following error while inserting record into aTable:-- Server: Msg 8626, Level 16, State 1, Procedure aTrigger, Line 4-- Only text pointers are allowed in work tables, never text, ntext, orimage columns. The query processor produced a query plan that requireda text, ntext, or image column in a work table.Does anyone know what causes the error?
I have looked and looked for any information on how to insert data from a db into a text field using a stored procedure. If anyone has any helpful links or suggestions, my sanity would greatly appreciate the help.
In SQL 2012, this fails with the error message, cannot find the text qualifer for field.
To get around this, we are having to import the data into a Dirty Data column of aTEMP table, ID, Dirty Data, Clean data - perform multiple updates and change the text qualifier and ensure they are only changed in the right places so we can keep the ". In this example, we changed the text qualifier to PIPES.
After these updates, we then export the data from CLEAN data back out to CSV, then reimport it into the origional destination table with a new text qualifer.
In my database there is a text field type that is used to enter streetaddress. This address could be a few lines long, each line with acarriage return at the end.Is there a way to search for these carriage returns and break out whatis in each line seperately?Thanks.Mike
I am trying to drag data from Informix to Sql Server. When I kick off the package using an OLE DB Source and a SQL Server Destination, I get DT_DBDATE to DT_DBTIMESTAMP errors on two fields from Informix which are date data ....no timestamp part
I tried a couple of things:
Created a view of the Informix table where I cast the date fields as datetime year to fraction(5), which failed.
Altered the view to convert the date fields to char(10) with the hopes that SQL Server would implicitly cast them as datetime but it failed.
AnupG writes "hi, the most common feature that any RDBMS provides should be that if we want to store the data in the MSSQL tables then the data should be presented in masked/formatted like for eg.the password text in field should be like "*****". I am using SQL 2000 but i unofrtunately i couldn't find any such feature in defining the data type in SQL server 2000 ...?"
Am converting varchar field to float and summing using group by and next inserting to varchar field(table).
while inserting float value it is converting to exponential ex:1.04177e+006 but if i execute only select statment actual float value will get display ex:1041765.726
My question is why it is converting while inserting ? and how to avoid it.
OK, I'm setting up my first database, and I need one field to hold very long html code (several pages worth of info each). Which field type works best? Someone told me "memo", but I don't see that option in MS SQL 7
how can i insert a carriage return when i update the field?
say i want to put the following inside a field: firstline secondline
how can i update/insert a column to have a return carriage inside it? UPDATE table SET column = 'firstline secondline'
the reason i want this is because when using a program (Solomon, by microsoft, purchasing software) to grab a field out of the database and when it displays that field in the programs textbox, i want it to be displayed on two separate lines
i tried doing UPDATE table SET column = 'firstline' + char(13) 'secondline'
but when in the solomon program, it displays an ascii character between firstline and secondline like: firstline||secondline
I want to insert a value which has the UTF-8 encoding into a field of the database which has the "text" data Type but it saves like this : " ?????????????? "
I would be thankful if u tell me how should I save it ? here is the SqlComand I wrote :
I am trying to insert 1000000.00 into my sql table from a webpage. I as long as the amount is 999.99 or less it works fine, once higher then that amount it gives me an error. Below is the code I am using to do the insert, it gets the error on the insert and the update both: I am getting the error on the price inserting the FormatCurrency(txtprice.Text) SelectStatement = "Insert crewchief (crewchief, price, car_num) Select '" & txtcrewchief.Text & "', " & FormatCurrency(txtprice.Text) & ", '" & txtcarnum.Text & "'" Adapter.SelectCommand = New SqlClient.SqlCommand(SelectStatement, myConnection) MyCommandBuilder = New SqlClient.SqlCommandBuilder(Adapter) Adapter.Fill(MatcherDS, "temp") Any ideas on why?
I've just noticed some strange behavior that seems like a bug to me. It's much easier to follow an example of it that to outright explain it, so here goes.
I have a table defined with a NOT NULL constraint on a column and a default clause: -- DROP TABLE TestTable CREATE TABLE TestTable ( TestField0 varchar(10), TestField1 varchar(10) NOT NULL DEFAULT ('a') )
I have a view defined on the table, in this example case, the view just mirrors the table one to one: -- DROP VIEW TestView CREATE VIEW TestView as SELECT TestField0, TestField1 FROM TestTable
So far so good, if I run this statement, it works as I would expect and inserts the value and the default goes into the other field: INSERT INTO TestView (TestField0) SELECT 'test'
Now... If I add an INSTEAD OF trigger to the view, and have it perform the insert for me, I get an error with the same insert stmt: -- DROP TRIGGER TestTrigger CREATE TRIGGER TestTrigger ON TestView INSTEAD OF INSERT AS BEGIN INSERT INTO TestTable (TestField0, TestField1) SELECT TestField0, COALESCE(TestField1, 'X') FROM inserted END
Notice the trigger will ensure that a null value cannot be inserted into TestField1. If I run this insert stmt though I get an error: INSERT INTO TestView (TestField0) SELECT 'test'
Server: Msg 233, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 The column 'TestField1' in table 'TestView' cannot be null.
I have a list of movies that show throughout the year. I would like to assign a unique numeric identifier to each text field.
I have provided some sample data with the output I would like. The Movie_ID in the sample data is just made up, feel free to assign any numeric identifier, preferably of the same length but not a necessity.
Hi,This is driving me nuts, I have a table that stores notes regarding anoperation in an IMAGE data type field in MS SQL Server 2000.I can read and write no problem using Access using the StrConv function andI can Update the field correctly in T-SQL using:DECLARE @ptrval varbinary(16)SELECT @ptrval = TEXTPTR(BITS_data)FROM mytable_BINARY WHERE ID = 'RB215'WRITETEXT OPERATION_BINARY.BITS @ptrval 'My notes for this operation'However, I just can not seem to be able to convert back to text theinformation once it is stored using T-SQL.My selects keep returning bin data.How to do this! Thanks for your help.SD
Hi this is my problem. mshflexgrid converts date value from dd.mm.yyyy to yyyy-mm-dd or mm.dd.yyyy
When i use JetOLEDB & .mdb file I can show correctly date type field in mshflexgrid with str() function. For example
rst.open"Select str(MyDateField) from table set mshflexgrid.datasource = rst
i can see dd.mm.yyyy ' namely good when i dont use str() function i see mm.dd.yyyy ' bad version
Now, i'm using SQL server 2000 & mdf file. mshflexgrid don't show correctly date field ( i want it to be like dd.mm.yyyy ) because i cant use str() function with SQL sever 2000 & mdf file
For example rst.open"Select str(MyDateField) from table... occur error When i want to use Convert function in SQL server 2000 & mdf file it automaticly converts it like Jun 18 2004 12:00AM but i dont want this
I want see this 18.06.2004 in Mshflexgrid. What can i do. help me pls.
How can I make it work when I need to pull out a field which is text type using a stored procedure? Please help!!!Thanks I am getting the following error Error 409: The assignment operator operation could not take a text data type as an argument ===========my sp================================= CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_SelectABC] (@a varchar(50) output, @b text output ) AS set nocount on select @a=name, @b= description from ABC

I have the following code in a SP. The 2 if statements for the @@ Error I added only for testing as I suddenly started get the following error at the 1st @@Error statement
Msg 232, Level 16, State 2, Line Arithmetic overflow error for type varchar, value = 10000.00000.
I cannot have this SP running minutes it must be done in seconds.
I have tried the folloiwng changes but then it takes to long.
my_sp_server_b it takes 1 parameter a text field as a parameter, with default set to NULL
this proc calls:
my_sp_server_a through a linked server (which happens to be the same server, different DB), it has two parameters: my_id int, my_text text w/ my_text having a default set to NULL
This second stored procedure just selects back an ID that is passed to it (to keep things simple).
If we pass any string value to my_sp_server_b we get the appropriate hardcoded ID passed to my_sp_server_a. If we pass NULL to my_sp_server_b we get the following error:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionCheckForData (CheckforData()). Server: Msg 11, Level 16, State 1, Line 0 General network error. Check your network documentation.
Connection Broken
If we remove the linked server, and just reference my_sp_server_a via the scoped DB, we do not get an error. If we change the data type in both procs to varchar(50) we do not get an error. If we change the data type to nText we still get an error. If we put IF logic into stored procedure: my_sp_server_b to check for NULL in the input parameter and if it true then to pass NULL explicitly to my_sp_server_a we do not get an error.
It seems to be a combination of using a linked server and trying to pass a text (or nText variable) with a NULL value to stored procedure. Sometimes the error changes based on which scenario I described above - but we consistantly receive an error unless we do some of the workarounds described above.
I am trying to setup an indicator value for an SSRS report to show green and red values on a report, based on the NRESULT value. The problem I am facing is that I have several different CASE statements that have the same logic, and they are processing just fine. NRESULT is a decimal field, so no conversion should be necessary. I do not know why I am getting the "Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric." error message.
Below is the CASE statement where the error is occurring. It is in the part of the ELSE CASE. The first CASE works just fine when the ELSE CASE is commented out. If I also change the ELSE CASE statement to say "else case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) = '-' then '0'", then it processes fine, too, so it has to be something I am missing something in the check on negative values. I do need the two checks, one for positive and one for negative values, to take place.
case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) <> '-' then --This portion, for checking positive values, of the CASE statement works fine. CASE WHEN LEFT(ROUND(NRESULT,2),4) between 0.00 and 0.49 THEN '2' --Green ELSE CASE WHEN LEFT(ROUND(NRESULT,2),4) > 0.49 THEN '0' --Red ELSE '3' --White END END else case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) = '-' then --This portion, for checking negative values, of the CASE statement is producing the conversion error message.
[code]....
I checked the NRESULT field, and there are not any NULL values in there, either.
We have a flat file import proces which imports data from a series of unicode flat files.
The files have text qualifiers and are being imported to a table with the following format: CREATE TABLE [dsa].[OBS]( [Kundenummer] [nvarchar](10) NULL, [Navn] [nvarchar](60) NULL, [Adresse] [nvarchar](50) NULL, [PostnrBynavn] [nvarchar](50) NULL, [Kursusdato] [datetime] NULL, [Varighed] [decimal](18, 2) NULL, [Kursustype] [nvarchar](100) NULL, [Risikokoder] [nvarchar](50) NULL ) ON [PRIMARY]
In one of our files we have two rows that looks like this: "19298529";"THIS IS ROW 1";"ADDRESS 9 -13";"4200 SLAGELSE";"02-05-2006";8.00;"Kombikursus Førstehjælp - Brand 8 lek.";"37" "19448242";"THIS IS ROW 2";"ADDRESS 50";"4140 BORUP";"04-05-2006";4.00;""Fra vil selv - til kan selv". Om børn 1½ - 3 Ã¥r";"22"
Both rows are OK according to the format, but the second row actually contains the text qualifier in one of the qualified fields (""Fra vil selv - til kan selv". Om børn 1½ - 3 Ã¥r"). It's the title of a course with a comment. The proces fails on this file, and wont even redirect the row, as it does on other erroneous rows in other files we import.
We believe this is a valid text, but apparently SSIS doesn't Is this a bug or is this record not allowed? Is there a work around, and why wont SSIS redirect the row?
We believe the reason is that the field before is not text quaified (which is of course specified in the connection manager).
I have a date held in a varchar field in a temporary sql table and I want to convert it into a sql date and it doesn't work. I can replicate this as below -
OK, so I have this query where I'm trying to subtract values like this, when I do this I am getting (Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric.) I have tried many different things, and now of these work, it'll either return 0 because it loses the .XXXXX.
Convert(DECIMAL(10,7),CAST([TIME_OF_COMPLETION] as DECIMAL(10,7)) - Convert(DECIMAL(10,7),CAST([OPR_DELIVERED_TIME] as DECIMAL(10,7)) round(cast(cast(hist.[TIME_OF_COMPLETION] AS float) as DECIMAL(15, 5)) - CAST(hist.[OPR_DELIVERED_TIME] AS FLOAT),1 SELECT convert(FLOAT,CAST('735509.00053' AS DECIMAL(10,5))) - convert(FLOAT,CAST('735509.00047' AS DECIMAL(10,5)))
I'm moving data from one database to another (INSERT INTO ... SELECT ... FROM ....) and am encountering this error:
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 6 Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
My problem is that Line 6 is:
set @brn_pk = '0D4BDE66347C440F'
so that is obviously not the problem and my query has almost 200 columns. I can go through one by one and compare what column is int in my destination table and what is varchar in my source tables, but that could take quite a while. How I can work out what column is causing the problem?
Hello there! I installed and configured SQL Server 2005 reporting services.

I am getting these errors from Report Manager. It seems that every time after the server has been idling for about 15 minutes, I would get this error message. I can click on other links and I am able to continue to use Report Manager.
Is there a timeout setting to help me resolve this or is this a bug with Report Manager? I just insitalled SP2 on the SQL Server and the Reporting Service.
