Convert Char to Date in SQL Server

Hello Experts,
I am trying to convert Char to Date but getting error in Universe designer. Can anybody advise please?
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi,
Try with CAST() and CONVERT() functions. For more information refer use this url : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187928.aspx.
It is more easy to get solution if you can post your query.
Cheers,

Error while converting schema from oracle to SQL server

Hello,
I am getting following error while converting schema from oracle to SQL server using SSMA.
I get Errors 1-3 while migrating procedures and error 4 while migrating a table.
1- O2SS0050: Conversion of identifier 'SYSDATE' is not supported.
2- O2SS0050: Conversion of identifier 'to_date(VARCHAR2, CHAR)' is not supported.
3- O2SS0050: Conversion of identifier 'regexp_replace(VARCHAR2, CHAR)' is not supported.
4- O2SS0486: <Primary key name> constraint is disabled in Oracle and cannot be converted because SQL Server does not support disabling of primary or unique constraint.
Please suggest.
Thanks.

The exact statement in oracle side which causing this error (O2SS0050:
Conversion of identifier 'to_date(VARCHAR2, CHAR)' is not supported.) is below:
dStartDate:= to_date(sStartDate,'MON-YYYY');
Statement causing error O2SS0050:
Conversion of identifier 'regexp_replace(VARCHAR2, CHAR)' is not supported is below.
nCount2:= length(regexp_replace(sDataRow,'[^,]'));
So there is no statement which is using to_date(VARCHAR2,
CHAR) and regexp_replace(VARCHAR2, CHAR) in as such. 'MON-YYYY' and '[^,]'
are CHAR values hence SSMA is unable to convert it from varchar2 to char.
Regarding SYSDATE issue, you mean to put below code in target(SQL) side in SSMA ?
dDate date := sysdate;
Thanks.

How to compare 2 dates in SQL Server 2000 DB using Java?

How do you compare 2 dates in SQL Server 2000 DB using Java?
Let's say we have two fields: Date Reported and Target Finish Date.
Date Reported is 09-10-2004 09:55:55: PM
Target Finish Date is 09-12-2004 11:59:59: PM
What i want to happen is i want to convert both dates to days and get the difference of the two.
can SQL Server 2000 DB do this?

it doesnt wrk.
ok here's what i did:
iv tested a simple code for this case.
I created a table name tblDate which has 3 columns namely date_ID, date_From (datatype datetime), date_To (datatype datetime).
I inserted 1 row: date_ID has the value 1, date_From has the value 10/22/2004, and date_To has the value 10/24/2004.
i run the java code below:
int days = 0;
          String query = "SELECT date_From, date_To cast(date_From-date_To AS int) AS Diff FROM tblZoo WHERE date_ID = '1'";
          try
               DBConnect db = new DBConnect();
               db.openCon();

               while(rs.next())
                    days = rs.getInt("Diff");
               db.closeCon();
          catch (Exception ex)
               System.out.println("Error on Execution: " + ex);

Are you attempting to import into a newly made table or into an existing table? It looks like it's trying to insert data where it cannot be inserted (invalid column or lack of data size in your column).
Try the following:
1). In your excel sheet, highlight the whole sheet and make sure the cells are in 'text' form and try re-importing
2). save the document as ms dos TEXT and import as a text document.
3). double check your columns are correct for the data, for example if you have a column that has a string of 100 characters and your column is 'NvarChar(90)' - that might cause the error? Or just correct data type in your column
3). If that doesn't work and you're inserting into a new table, try importing it as string first and writing a query to insert columns that should be float/integer or whatever. You may want to convert float texts to a 'bigint' first rather than string
> float as that can cause problems if I remember correctly.

Labview Date to SQL Server DateTime Conversion

I have inherited a database of legacy data (created by Labview software) and I need to import that data into a SQL Server 2000 database.
One of the fields I'm importing includes a string of numbers which respresents a datetime field - in the following format:
3172089659
which represents the number of SECONDS since Jan 1 1904 12:00 am Universal Time
(Was that a significate date in history ?)
Is there a built in function within SQL that can help be convert this into a standard SQL Server DateTime format during import?
Thank you
Devon Kyle

Devon,
This can be somewhat database dependent. I don't know how the standard SQL Server handles date addition. However,most have it. One which I uses has the following:
SECONDS( datetime-expr, integer-expr ) Add integer-expr seconds to the given date/time. If the integer-expr is negative, the appropriate number of seconds are subtracted from the date/time.
Since you know the start date, this would easily calculate the date you are wanting.
Hope this helps.

How to convert rows to columns in sql server 2008

How to convert rows to columns in sql server 2008 using the GROUP BY function? (only one query allowed)

Lookup the Pivot transformation. From BOL:
The Pivot transformation makes a normalized data set into a less normalized
but more compact version by pivoting the input data on a column value. For
example, a normalized Orders data set that lists customer name, product, and quantity purchased typically has multiple rows for any customer who purchased multiple products, with each row for that customer showing order
details for a different product. By pivoting the data set on the product column, the Pivot transformation can output a data set with a
single row per customer. That single row lists all the purchases by the customer, with the product names shown as column names, and the quantity shown as a value in the product column. Because not every customer purchases every product, many columns may contain
null values.
When a dataset is pivoted, input columns perform different roles in the pivoting process. A column can participate in the following ways:
The column is passed through unchanged to the output. Because many input rows
can result only in one output row, the transformation copies only the first
input value for the column.
The column acts as the key or part of the key that identifies a set of
records.
The column defines the pivot. The values in this column are associated with
columns in the pivoted dataset.
The column contains values that are placed in the columns that the pivot
creates.

Error while exporting data from sql server to excel

Hi,
I am trying to export data from sql server to excel.
The query that I used is s follows
INSERT INTO OPENROWSET( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=C:\Folder1\abc.xls','select * from [Sheet1$A1:IV65000]')
select
column1,column2.... from Table1
I get the following error message while doing so..
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.
One of the column's holds data more than 225 characters.
What is the way to correct this, i want the whole data of the colum in the excel sheet.

I haven't had great luck with the INSERT INTO OPENROWSET method. Can you try one of the many samples from one of these 3 links?

Error while reversing data from SQL Server to ODI

hi,
I was reversing data from SQL Server Java 1.6_022 in ODI Java 1.5, I was getting error Version Mismatch and I updated ODI Java version to 1.6_022.
And now, I am getting the below error while reversing the data from SQL Server database.
0 : 08001 : java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
Looking for the assistance on the same.
Thanks,

If everything is fine the reversing should be fine. I would say check again if the Technology of the Model and the also the dataserver is created under the right Technology in topology too.
also if this doesn't help , Please tell us the steps you have carried so far . Also can you try selective reverse is it showing the tables.

How to retrieve Min(startDate) and Max(endDate) for different groups of data? (sql server 2000)

My sample dataset (below) contains 3 groups -- 'a', 'b', 'c'. I need to retrieve the Min(startDate) and Max(EndDate) for each group so that the output looks something like this (date format not an issue):
fk   minStart      maxEnd
a    1/13/1985    12/31/2003
b    2/14/1986    12/31/2003
c    4/26/1987    12/31/2002
What is the Tsql to perform this type of operation? Note: the actual data resides in a sql server 2000 DB. If the Tsql is different between version 2000 and the later versions -- I would be grateful for both versions of the Tsql
--I noticed that multiple lines of Insert values doesn't work in Sql Server 2000 -- this sample is in Sql Server 2008
create table #tmp2(rowID int Identity(1,1), fk varchar(1), startDate datetime, endDate datetime)
insert into #tmp2
values
('a', '1/13/1985', '12/31/1999'),
('a', '3/17/1992', '12/31/1997'),
('a', '4/21/1987', '12/31/2003'),

It is unclear what you are trying to achieve, you said that it is SQL Server 2000 but provide a sample data with SQL Server 2008 syntax
Is it possible to use UNION ALL for your queries to make its one
select * from
select * from #tmp2 t1 where exists
(select * from (select top 1 * from #tmp2 t2 where t2.fk = t1.fk order by t2.startdate) x where x.rowID = t1.rowID)
UNION ALL
select * from #tmp2 t1 where exists
(select * from (select top 1 * from #tmp2 t2 where t2.fk = t1.fk order by t2.Enddate desc) x where x.rowID = t1.rowID)
as der order by fk

Extract the data from SQL Server and Import into Oracle

Hi,
I would like to run a daily job that will export the table data from SQL server table (it will be only one or two table) and Import back into Oracle table (it might one or two table tables).
Could you please guide me that how can i do this using either sql server or oracle?
We have oracle 9.2 and sql server 2005.
Normally i do from flat file which is generated by source destination nand i dump into oracle using sql*loader but this time I have to directly extract/export the data from MS Sql server and load into Oracle table, mostly it will reload so i might doing any massaging data during the load.
If you show me the detail approach, it will be really appreciated.
I have access to Sql server but i don't how to use sql server to do this or using oracle as a daily job even becuase have to schedule the job for this as it will be a daily job.
Thanks,
poratips

Unless you can find an open source ODBC driver for SQL Server that runs on Solaris (and I wouldn't be overly hopeful there) Heterogeneous Services would require that you license something-- a third party ODBC driver, a new Oracle instance, or an Oracle Transparent Gateway.
As I stated below, you could certainly use SQL Server's ETL tool, DTS. Oracle's ETL tools would require additional licensing since you're just on 9.2. You could also write a small application (Java or otherwise) that connected to both databases and transferred the data. If you're particularly enterprising, you could load the SQL Server Type 4 JDBC driver into Oracle's JVM and write a Java stored procedure that connected to the SQL Server database via JDBC, but that's a pretty convoluted approach.

Does SSIS guarantee that it loads the data into SQL Server in the same order as it is in Excel

Hi,
We are trying to load several Excel files into SQL Server SSIS and we need to save the data in the database in the same order as it is in Excel..
My question is, Does SSIS guarantee that it loads the data into SQL Server in the same order as it is in Excel. If so, we will add a sequence to ensure we have the order.
Please advise.
Thanks & Regards,
Dhanumjay

Thanks for your response.
If it is one file then we can add an index column, but we have to load hundreds of files.
How adding an index/key column to the table works unless SSIS picks and loads the data in the table in the same order as it is in Excel?
Just to explain my question better,
If excel has three rows {a,b},{c,d},{e,f}, does SSIS ensure it loads the data in the same order in a table.
Thanks.

How to extract incremental data from SQL server to oracle tables in ODI

HI All,
In my ODI sql server is install.My Source is in SQL server and my target is in Oracle.
I need to create a interface mapping where i need to extract incremental data from sql server to oracle.
There is a datetime(with Timestamp) field in sql server .I need to pull incremental data based on dateime.
Example = tablename.DateTime > (select '1-jan-11' from dual) .....i am using this query but its not woking.the error is Invalid object name"dual".
We are not going to use Incremental in IKM and LKM.
Request you to please provide any suggestion ASAP.
Thanks,
Lony

You can do that via Variable.
In the interface mapping create a filter on Tablename.DateTime
and put the condition like this
Tablename.DateTime BETWEEN #VAR and in the variable use this query in refreshing tab with oracle schema
SELECT max(start_time)||' AND '||max(END_TIME)+1 from audit_table where ETL_JOB_CODE = '20'In the package call the above variable in refresh mode and then interface.
This way you will pass from the query between and condition date and pass to interface so that SQL Server fetches the data between those too range.
Note:- You might need to tweak the date format so that SQL Server can understand.
Hope this helps.
