using sql database, i have a smallmoney column. when i enter an amount, 50.00 for example, i have 50.0000 displayed. is there a way to only have 50.00 displayed?

I have a table called test with 4 fields namley studentname, Mark1, Mark2, total (formula column).
Created table test in the following structure,
create table test (studentname varchar(50), Mark1 numeric, Mark2 numeric, total as ([Mark1]+[Mark2]))
Now I need to drop formula nature of this column total and assign default value '0'. I like to know how to do it using T-Sql script.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Hi guys,
If I have a temporary table called #CTE
With the columns
[Account]
[Name]
[RowID Table Level]
[RowID Data Level]
and I need to change the column type for the columns:
[RowID Table Level]
[RowID Data Level]
to integer, and set the column [RowID Table Level] as Identity (index) starting from 1, incrementing 1 each time.
What will be the right syntax using SQL SERVER 2000?
I am trying to solve the question in the link below:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2093921&SiteID=1
Thanks in advance,
Aldo.
I have tried the code below, but getting syntax error...
ALTER TABLE #CTE
ALTER COLUMN
[RowID Table Level] INT IDENTITY(1,1),
[RowID Data Level] INT;
I have also tried:
ALTER TABLE #CTE
MODIFY
[RowID Table Level] INT IDENTITY(1,1),
[RowID Data Level] INT;
I am working on an OLAP modeled database.
I have a Lookup Transformation that matches the natural key of a dimension member and returns the dimension key for that member (surrogate key pipeline stuff).
I am using an OLE DB Command as the Error flow of the Lookup Transformation to insert an "Inferred Member" (new row) into a dimension table if the Lookup fails.
The OLE DB Command calls a stored procedure (dbo.InsertNewDimensionMember) that inserts the new member and returns the key of the new member (using scope_identity) as an output.
What is the syntax in the SQL Command line of the OLE DB Command Transformation to set the output of the stored procedure as an Output Column?
I know that I can 1) add a second Lookup with "Enable memory restriction" on (no caching) in the Success data flow after the OLE DB Command, 2) find the newly inserted member, and 3) Union both Lookup results together, but this is a large dimension table (several million rows) and searching for the newly inserted dimension member seems excessive, especially since I have the ID I want returned as output from the stored procedure that inserted it.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
I initially modified the column 'ID' from not allowing NULL to allow, and saved it. But now I will like to change it back to 'not allow'. But it gives me the following error message when I try to save my changes:
'Pages' table
- Unable to modify table.
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'ID', table <databasename>.Tmp_Pages'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The statement has been terminated.
Is there a way I can work around this?

Hi,
I was wondering how to modify a column's properties, like its datatype or length.
I know I'm supposed to do something like this:
ALTER TABLE MyTable ALTER COLUMN MyColumn int(20)
My main concern is, what will the database do to all the data in the column, if the column used to be, say nvarchar(50)? Will I lose the data in the column if I change the datatype? And what if I had data in this column that was longer than 20 characters? Will the data now be truncated? What can I do to make sure that nothing happens to the data once I change the datatype?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! =)
I have a column (PERIMAGE_PATH) in my table. The data in this column is imported from a fixed width text file and looks like the following:
07J06274
05J03254
04J11245
I need to modify the data in the column to look like this:
..images 7J06274.jpg
..images 5J03254.jpg
..images 4J11245.jpg
How can I do this?
Thanks for all your guys' help. This is the last question for the day. I promise

Hello,
I have a column that is a currently set as nvarchar(50) and is called DateEmployed.
There are over a hundred rows that contain dates which is in nvarchar format.
This column now needs to be changed to a DateTime datatype. (Don't ask me it was not set
to a dateTime when this was first designed - I wasn't here)
However, I have to change this column to a DateTime without destroying the data.
Is there any easy way to write some script or use studio management to change this.
Currently the data is displayed like this in this column dd/MM/yyyy i.e. 25/8/2007.
The method I am using to try and change this is by going to studio management clicking
modify on the column and changing the datatype from a nvarchar(50) to a DateTime.
I get this following error message:
- Unable to modify table.
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime.
The statement has been terminated.
Any suggestions would be most grateful,
Thanks,
Steve

thank's
I am tearing my hair out with this!!
I have created a DB and up until yesterday I have been using SQL commands to add/remove tables, columns, constraints etc. However today when I attempt to modify the datatype of a column using
alter table Person modify Gender nchar(2)
I get this error
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near 'modify'.
I can still add colums but get the same error if I try to drop them and I can amend the tables in any way via the Design view so I don't think it's permission related.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Hi All,
Is there a way by which we can modify the width of a column of a table which is being replicated without touching the ongoing transactional replication? This is for MSSQL2000 Transactional Replication.
I know (and successfully tried) that we can add a column to a table and that gets propaged to the replicate database and indeed the added column gets reflected there. How to add a column? sp_repaddcolumn or Right Click on the Publication-Properties and it shows a button to Add a Column.
This is what I have tried for modifying the width of a column of a table participating in Transactional Replication from varchar(10) to varchar(100)
MH (source) -> MH1 (Replicate)
The column €ścol1€? had width of varchar(10) and this was altered to varchar(100).
insert into MH..test_mh values(4,'abcdeabcdefff')
select * from MH1..test_mh
exec sp_dropsubscription @publication = N'MH', @article = N'test_mh', @subscriber = N'UKPBDRMTST2', @destination_db = N'MH1'
go
exec sp_droparticle @publication = N'MH', @article = N'test_mh'
go
alter table test_mh alter column col2 varchar(100) null OR
MH1..sp_help test_mh
exec sp_addarticle @publication = N'MH', @article = N'test_mh', @source_table = N'test_mh'
go
exec sp_addsubscription @publication = N'MH', @article = N'test_mh', @subscriber = N'UKPBDRMTST2' , @destination_db = N'MH1'
go
Needless to say, help would be apreciated -

I obviously am having a problem understanding how to set up the select statements so that I can do this in one query or am I following the wrong direction and should be trying something else?
Once again I appreciate your help in advance....
Hello,I was wondering if anyone can help me figure something out.Is it possible to do a querey in MS SQL server and have the resultsreturned so that each result in each row is preceeded by the columnname?eg. instead of usual output -colName1, colValue1,colName2,colValue2,colName3,colValue3 ?Also I would like to only have this for certain columns ie in theabove example only for columns 2 and 3Thank you! :-)Yas
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to get the actual name of the column that has the error. Using the ErrorColumn (int value) I thought there would be some type of lookup collection based on the input (like column names)- if there is, can someone tell me how to get to it?

Hi,

I have a Data Flow Task that extracts some data using a DataReader Source and loads it to a Raw File Destination. I am getting the following error message:

I thought that using a Raw File Destination would avoid this type of problem. How can I resolve this issue?
I would like to change the output of a column into a hyperlink however I am not sure that is possible without some further post-processing. I am aware I would have to do:
Code:
select
'<a href="' + URL + '" target="_blank" nav="web">' + tbl_ID.ID + '</a>'
from tbl_ID
however this obviously just exports the text
<a href="[URL]" target="_blank" nav="web">[ID]</a>
This would work fine if I was exporting it into some sort of HTML table however this doesn't work with excel for example. Is there a way to make this possible or would I have to create a macro in excel to add the url with the ID separately?
Hi,
I'm importing data from and oracle database to an SQL one through a SSIS package, I'm getting this error:
"The output column "earned_hours" has a precision that is not valid. The precision must be between 1 and 38".
the package runs but returns this column as NULL values
earned_hours is of type "NUMBER" in oracle (some of the values are decimals), I tried making it numeric(x,y),float or decimal(x,y), but I'm still getting the same results.
does anybody know why is this happening or have a solution for this error?
Thanks
I use bcp command to output to excel, it works. But I want to format the excel, some column width are too small,user need adjust the column width, otherwise it shows ######.
How can I set columns width when I use bcp output to excel.
Also, can bcp command output to multiple excel sheets and add report title in each excel sheet?
Is there a way to supress output on one column in a SP, using data from the same row?
Like This:
SELECT Last, First, DOP, dbo.fnDueDate(DOP, 3, GETDATE()) AS NextQDue, dbo.fnDueDate(DOP, 6, GETDATE()) AS NextNSPDue, DATEADD(m, 1, DOP)AS InitialNSPDue, DATEADD(m, 1, DOP) AS InitialAssessDue, DOT, DisReason, DATEADD(m, 1, DOT) AS DisSummDue, Facility, Active
FROM dbo.tblResidents
But which returns null for some of the columns if DOT is not null?
DOT is the Termination Date, so the only columns that have any meaning once there is data in the DOT column are DisReason and DisSummDue. Also, if DOT *is* null, then the above columns also have no meaning.
I tried several variations of the following, but I can't figure it out
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[spTesting] AS
BEGIN
SELECT Last, First, DOP, dbo.fnDueDate(DOP, 3, GETDATE()) AS NextQDue, dbo.fnDueDate(DOP, 6, GETDATE()) AS NextNSPDue, DATEADD(m, 1, DOP) AS InitialNSPDue, DATEADD(m, 1, DOP) AS InitialAssessDue, Facility
FROM dbo.tblResidents A
WHERE DOT IS NULL
UNION
SELECT Last, First, DOP, DOT, DisReason, DATEADD(m, 1, DOT) AS DisSummDue, Facility
FROM dbo.tblResidents I
END
GO

Hi,
I am writing a Dataflow task which will take a Particular column from the source table and i am passing the column value in the SQL command property. My SQL Command will look like this,
Select SerialNumber From SerialNumbers Where OrderID = @OrderID
If i go and check the output column in the Input and output properties tab, I am not able to see this serial number column in the output column tree,So i cant able to access this column in the next transformation component.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
When configuring error output, I want everything that is good in the row to make it to the destination, and then the offending column that is causing an error to be set to NULL, and then sent to the destination as well. In addition, I want to take the offending column's data, and route it over to an error holding table. I know about the ability to redirect the whole row, but I just sort of want to redirect just that column. For example....
Have a table with 5 columns
col1 int null,
col2 int null,
col3 char(3) null,
col4 bit null,
col5 int null
My data flow loads data from a flat file and has a record that looks like this
1 5 ABC R 3
I want the row to make it to the destination as follows....
1 5 ABC NULL 3
Then the offending data needs to go over to my error table
err# errcolumn errdata errdesc
1 col4 R Could not convert "R" to bit data type
Any way to do this?
I am working on a situation similar to 'Get all from Table A that isn't in Table B' http://www.sqlis.com/default.aspx?311
I noticed that if one column's name of source table changes,(say Year to Year2) I have to modify all 'data flow transformations' in the task.
I am new to SSIS.
thanks! -ZZ
Hi,
Iam redirecting the error output of a OLEDB destination component to a script component. My aim is to create a HTML report having the information about the bad records, the error occuring in the rows and the column name that fails. The error output provided two new columns i.e the errorcode and errorcolumn , the errorcolumn value for a bad record gives the linage id for the column, is there a way to derieve the name of the column by using the lineage id?

Hello,
I have an ODBC connection manager to a Progress database. In that database there is a column declared as a string of 10 characters long.
However, some data in this column is actually up to 15 characters long.
This makes my DataReader Source fail everytime I try to run my package because it sets the output column like this :
Datatype : Unicode string [DT_WSTR]
Length : 10
Is there any way to solve this without changing the datatype in the Progress database (that is beyond my control) ?
tanks in advance ...
