Problem with Linked Server and Text fields

Hi all:
I have following problem.
When I try to run an INSERT from Query Analyser to a table of a linked
server I get
a bug about a TEXT field of table:
INSERT is like this one:
INSERT INTO [SERVIDOR].basedatos.dbo.fmafam (empresa,familia,descripcion)
values ('090','Fam1','Familia 1')
Bug is like this one:
The provider OLE DB 'SQLOLEDB' can`t INSERT INTO table
'[SERVIDOR].[basedatos].[dbo].[fmafam]', by column 'observaciones'.
OLE DB [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB'
IRowsetChange::InsertRow returned 0x80040e21: Data status sent to the
provider: [COLUMN_NAME=empresa STATUS=DBSTATUS_S_OK], [COLUMN_NAME=familia
STATUS=DBSTATUS_S_OK], [COLUMN_NAME=descripcion STATUS=DBSTATUS_S_DEFAULT],
[COLUMN_NAME=observaciones STATUS=DBSTATUS_S_ISNULL],...
Provider OLE DB 'SQLOLEDB' can't INSERT INTO table
[SERVIDOR].[basedatos].[dbo].[fmafam], by column 'observaciones'.
INSERT hasn't field "Observaciones" (TEXT type) because it has a default
value.
Running same instruction locally there isn't any problem.
How can I solve this problem ?
Luis,
I have reproduced this error. I have never seen this before,
and I'll ask for some help and get back to you.

Table has one TEXT type field and a default value of ''.
I get error only in TEXT fields.

You will have to find a workaround of some sort. It appears that the
SQLOLEDB provider does not support default values with text columns.
Or maybe I should say do not expect them to have a default value. So
when the the data is entered into the rowset, SQLOLEDB things have
gone sour.
I also tested this on the latest (semi-)public build of SQL 2005, and
when the local server is SQL 2005, the INSERT works. This indicates
that the problem is fixed in SQL Native Client, an SQL Server OLE DB
provider that comes with SQL 2005.
What the best workaround is for you depends on your application, but
presumably the easiest way out is to make the column nullable.

problem with line break from NVARCHAR field

I have data saved in nvarchar field in SQL Server and I am displaying it using <= dbReader["my_field"] but even the three or four paragraphs comes as one paragragh and I don't know know where are my line breaks going?

In SQL Server if you want line breaks and well formatted text you must save your text as word in an image column so you can just get the word file back. There could be other ways but this is easy so I use it you could get other answers. Hope this helps.

The reason the query seems to be returnning records from Activities,
where the Dateinitiated column is null, is because you have specified an
Outer Join.
When you specify An Outer Join, Al records from the Outer table are
returned, even when there is no match on the other side. You actually are
NOT returning any data from Activities Table where Dateinitiated column is
null. If you look at those rows, you'll probably notice that all the field
s
from Activities table are null there...

problem with inserting date in a datetime field

Hi, I have a problem when I insert a date in a datetime field in a MSSQLServer.
That's my problem:
if the server is in english version, I have to insert date with this code:

DateTime.Today.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")

instead if the server is in italian version, I have to insert date with this code:

DateTime.Today.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")

Is there a way to insert a date in standard way, without knowing the server version?

bye and thanks in advanceI usually find that yyyy-mm-dd does the trick. But I can't swear it will always work. Actually what am I talking about, you should be using params and this won't be a problem.|||What if you insert the date in datetime format instead of converting it to string? Then maybe, just maybe sql server will recognize the format.|||>> What if you insert the date in datetime format instead of converting it to string? Then maybe, just maybe sql server will recognize the format.

You're on the road to SQL hell if you do that. What culture is your client, what culture is the database? Use params, there is hardly *ever* a reason not too almost always a problem with an alternative - unless you've written very well thought out DB classes.

Problem with import data from excel format file.

Hi All

I have a huge excel format file wants to export to sql server
database. One of the field has combination of numeric and
alphanumeric. When I import the excel format to sql server database,
the numeric is successfully imported but the alphanumeric does not
import at all.

Does anyone know how to solve my problem?

I am using SQL 2k and the spreadsheet is excel 2003

Thanks

You may have to use Data Conversion to convert data suitable to your SQL data type.sql

Is the data in that column in the first row to be processed completely
numeric? Maybe if you sorted it such that this was alpha, sql server

You really need to give some more information - what version of SQL
Server, how are you importing the file, what format are the source
data in, what is the DDL for the target table, what does "not import"
mean?

One possibility is that the data type of the target column doesn't
allow alpanumeric characters. Another is that you're seeing this
issue:

problem with IIF statement

I've got this iif statement
=iif(Fields!Month.Value =13,"YTD",MonthName(Fields!Month.Value))
in a matrix header field that has the month numbers in it. it will
display ytd if i drop the month name function but with the monthname in
it throws an error. Also theres a warning that says
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the textbox
'textbox47' contains an error: Argument 'Month' is not a valid
value.
any ideas on how to get it to display the month name and the YTD text?
Thanks for the help
MathiasI saw some other post as well, IIF evaluates both the truw and false
expression and then goes for comparison. so MonthName(13) will give error
since there is no 13. So reframe your conditions.

As far as posts go, just search for "IIF error" or "IIF doesn't work"
and you'll come up with tons of 'em.
My experience with this issue comes from trying to do divide by zero
error checking. For example, =IIF(exp2 = 0,0,exp1/exp2); SSRS
evaluates both T and F and blows up when exp2 = 0.
The only way I've found to work around is to create a custom code
function then use that function in your expression. For your situation
the function would be something like:
Public Function MonthValue (Exp1)
If Exp1 = 13 Then
MonthValue = "YTD"
Else MonthValue = MonthName(Exp1)
End If
End Function
Your expression would then be:
=code.MonthValue(Fields!Month.Value)
Good luck

Problem with handling dates

hi all
I have a stored procedure that gets date from a particular field using the DATEPART function. However, somewhere in between it has to do an update which is why it adds hours, days or months to the function. Here is the code
SELECT @.var_NewNextRunDate=(CAST(DATEPART(YYYY,@.DT) AS CHAR(4)) + '/'
+ RIGHT(CAST(100+DATEPART(MM,@.DT) AS CHAR(3)),2) + '/'
+ RIGHT(CAST(100+DATEPART(DD,@.DT) AS CHAR(3)),2) + ' '
+ RIGHT(CAST(100+DATEPART(HH,@.DT) + @.var_Frequency AS CHAR(3)),2) + ':'
+ RIGHT(CAST(DATEPART(MI,@.DT) AS CHAR(2)),2) + ':'
+ RIGHT(CAST(DATEPART(SS,@.DT) AS CHAR(2)),2)+ ':'
+ RIGHT(CAST(DATEPART(MS,@.DT) AS CHAR(3)),3) )
Now the problem is that when there a change in day the hours get stuck because it simply adds the hours so if it is 23:40 and it adds 3 it becomes 26:40 which makes no sense. Can someone please help me find a solution to this? I have the same situation with days, and months as well.
Thank you.you should do all data/time manipulations on a date/time datatypes not chars.
if you are extracting a portion of an existing date/time which results in a char datatype, you should cast it back to date/time before you start manipulating it.|||Although this is an old thread I just thought I'd add what I did.

Problem with GETDATE in SQL Stored Procedure

hi all,

i am using a stored procedure where i am using GETDATE to give default value to a field ( @.effectivedate as Datetime = GETDATE)

i am making the SP call in my code .

Dim cmd As System.Data.Common.DbCommand = db.GetStoredProcCommand("sel_TemplateData")

db.AddInParameter(cmd, "@.TemplateID", DbType.Int32, Convert.ToInt32(_templateId))

db.AddInParameter(cmd, "@.State", DbType.String, mrmParams("State").ToString())

db.AddInParameter(cmd, "@.SectionCode", DbType.String, mrmParams("SectionCode").ToString())

Dim ds As DataSet = db.ExecuteDataSet(cmd)

should i need to pass this as a parameter along with other parameter as below ? will it be defaultly taken.

when i try to add this parameter an error is thrown " cannot convert string to datetime .

is the syntax for GETDATE correct.

thanks in Advance

Since Getdate() is the non-deterministic function you can’t assign this function as your default value of the SP parameter.

Try to use the following approach to pick up the current date when there is no explicit value passed for datetime valued parameters.

C

Code Snippet

raete Procedure TestDateParam

(

@.Date as datetime= '1900-01-01'

)

as

Begin

Set @.Date = Case When @.Date = '1900-01-01' Then Getdate() Else @.Date End;

Select @.Date Date

End

Go

Exec TestDateParam --it will use the current date

Exec TestDateParam '1/1/2007' --it will use the passed date value

|||

Could you instead use NULL as your default value? If that is possible then you would not need the set statement but could use the ISNULL or COALESCE function -- something like:

ISNULL(@.Date, getdate())

or

COALESCE(@.Date, getdate())

within the body of your stored procedure

|||

If you are wanting to make @.EffectiveDate an optional parameter for the procedure, I suggest using Kent's suggestion of setting the optional value equal to NULL. It is cleaner than presuming a redefined date means none supplied...

|||In addition to Kent and Arnie you could consider using the syntax:

Create procedure someproc
(
@.SomeDate DATETIME = NULL
)
AS

SELECT
(...Something)
WHERE YourColumn = @.SomeDate OR @.SomeDate IS NULL

But this highly depends on your needs in the logic of the stored procedure.

problem with float data type

Hi all,
I have declared a field with datatype as float.
When I enter value with two precision it chooses to round off to lower value and insert into the database.

I am losing precision in this case.

I want to insert 4.56. It inserts the way shown and hence all my further calculations go haywire.

Is SQL server designed to store float like this or Am I doing soemting wrong ?

Please advise...

4.56 (Inserted)

4.5599999999999996 (Stored)Generally you have to convert the value that is being inserted into the database, or you can convert it when it is pulled from the DB. I prefer to do it beforehand.

If you do something like this it should work:

Dim Val1 as Int16
Val1 = Convert.ToInt16(TextBox1.text)

Problem with Expression for a added field in datasource.

I added a new field to my datasource called "TotalCostAssum". The expression for the datasource is as follows:

Iif(Previous(Fields!PNumber.Value) = Nothing Or Previous(Fields!PNumber.Value) <> Fields!PNumber.Value, Fields!TotalCost, 0)

But this expression gave me trouble. I even couldn't go to the Preview page because every time when I clicked the Preview button, the Visual Studio.NET was shut down by asking me if I need to send error report to Microsoft. When I got rid of the above expression, everything is fine. I was wondering if that's because the word "Previous" is not allowed here. But I have to access the previous data row to determine the value here. I was bothered by this the whole morning and couldn't get any hint by searching on the internet. Any anybody help me out? Thanks in advance.

Mistake. The above expression is for the field that I manually added to the dataset.

Problem with dynamic SQL syntax

What exactly do you mean by an empty field? Generally if
your field allows null and you don't set a value into
that field for a row, the field is set to NULL and you
can test for this by using "type IS NULL" in your where
clause.
"<>" is the operator for not equals and it is not a
singleton operator, it is a comparison operator. You
need something on both sides of the "<>" to compare to
each other.
For instance, if you are looking for rows where the type
field is not equal to a space, you could try "type <> ' '"
I hope that this helps.

Sorry if I wasn't very clear. I assume that the purpose is to check for an
empty field. The "original" code that's being used in the DTS Transform task
is "...AND CompanyNo is not NULL and Type <>'' ". It's not me that have
written the transform task, but I assume that this last piece checks if
there're any empty fields. It might be my understanding of it that's wrong,
but then I'd be happy to hear about it.
This SQL statement runs fine in the DST task and also when I run it in Query
analyser using fixed values, but when I do it with variables/dynamic SQL it
seems to fail and not accept this last bit.

Aaron is correct. You need to repeat the single quotes

Problem with DateAdd & GetDate()

Hi,
I've been struggling trying to figure out this code to no avail. I need to
query a date time field on an external database to give me data if the
Closed_Time has changed within the last day. The Closed_Time field looks
like this 9/1/2005 11:59:00 AM. The code I've been attempting to use is
(Closed_Time > DATEADD(day, - 7, GETDATE()) and when that is executed a
Lexical Element error message is returned. I've searched on the boards for
other variations of this code and none have worked so far.
I'm hoping someone can shed a little light on it for me.

Assume the current date/time is 20060126 11:07:13.003. What does the
evaluation of the expression "DATEADD(day, - 7, GETDATE()" yield? It is
likely not the value you desire. However, your description doesn't match
this query - you said "... has changed within the last day" yet your
expression subtracts 7 days from the current date/time.
At a minimum, the following should help you understand datetime values and
how they should be used.
http://www.karaszi.com/sqlserver/info_datetime.asp
And as everyone else suggested, post the error message - exactly as it
appears. Perhaps it would help to define/identify what "external database"
means - I've never seen sql server return an error message with the text
"lexical element error" in any form.|||Jason wrote:

I suggest asking for help in a group devoted to the type of external

You have to use syntax that works in the external database. We cannot help
you with that without knowing the type of database involved. And even then,
the chances of finding somebody who is knowledgeable about that database in
a SQL Server group are not great.
Could you ask a developer in that "company" to write a query that does what
is needed and send it to you?

problem with date time field ...

Hi guys,
I have an asp page that needs to show data based on date criteria.
Basically the user selects a date and the asp page should display all
records within that day.
The problem is that this field contains date and time.
My current query is as follows:
RS.Open "Select * from DB1.dbo.logs WHERE Date = '" &
Request.Form("date") & "'", dbConn, 1
How should I modify this query so that it ignores the time ?
Thanks in advance !

|||Hey Tibor,
thanks for your reply; I'm just starting using asp and sql.
Do you know a quick way to modify this query so that it skips the time
? Your links are a bit too advanced for me.
That would be VERY appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
|||To add to Tibor's response, you can use a parameterized query to improve
performance, security and mitigate the need for date formatting. Also,
consider using a fast-forward cursor instead of a keyset one unless you have
a specific reason to do otherwise.
Set command = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
command.ActiveConnection = connection
command.CommandText = _
"Select * from DB1.dbo.logs WHERE Date >= ? AND Date < ? + 1"
Set dateParameter1 = command.CreateParameter( _
"@.dateParameter1", 7, 1)
command.Parameters.Append dateParameter1
dateParameter1.Value = Request.Form("date")
Set dateParameter2 = command.CreateParameter( _
"@.dateParameter2", 7, 1)
command.Parameters.Append dateParameter2
dateParameter2.Value = Request.Form("date")
Set RS = command.Execute()

problem with date time field ...

Hi guys,
I have an asp page that needs to show data based on date criteria.
Basically the user selects a date and the asp page should display all
records within that day.
The problem is that this field contains date and time.
My current query is as follows:
RS.Open "Select * from DB1.dbo.logs WHERE Date = '" &
Request.Form("date") & "'", dbConn, 1
How should I modify this query so that it ignores the time ?
Thanks in advance !http://www.karaszi.com/SQLServer/info_datetime.asp

>|||Hey Tibor,
thanks for your reply; I'm just starting using asp and sql.
Do you know a quick way to modify this query so that it skips the time
? Your links are a bit too advanced for me.
That would be VERY appreciated.
Thanks in advance.|||To add to Tibor's response, you can use a parameterized query to improve
performance, security and mitigate the need for date formatting. Also,
consider using a fast-forward cursor instead of a keyset one unless you have
a specific reason to do otherwise.
Set command = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
command.ActiveConnection = connection
command.CommandText = _
"Select * from DB1.dbo.logs WHERE Date >= ? AND Date < ? + 1"
Set dateParameter1 = command.CreateParameter( _
"@.dateParameter1", 7, 1)
command.Parameters.Append dateParameter1
dateParameter1.Value = Request.Form("date")
Set dateParameter2 = command.CreateParameter( _
"@.dateParameter2", 7, 1)
command.Parameters.Append dateParameter2
dateParameter2.Value = Request.Form("date")
Set RS = command.Execute()
Hope this helps.
