I have a source flat file with values such as 24.209991, but they need to load to SQL Server as type money. In the DTS (which I am converting from), that value comes across as 24.21. How do I convert that field in SSIS? Right now, I am just changing the type from DT_STR to DT_CY, and it gives a run error of 'Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "Col003" returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".' Do I use a Data Conversion task? And then what? I've also tried setting the source output column to DT_NUMERIC,

I'm running the SQL Server Copy Database Wizard. Of note is that the Operator is NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM , which I thought should have the authority to run whatever it wants. How can we grant sufficient privileges to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM ? I have already tried: GRANT EXECUTE ON xp_regread TO public GRANT EXECUTE ON xp_regread TO [NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM] And running the following shows that it worked. SELECT grantee_principal.name AS [Grantee] , prmssn.permission_name FROM sys.all_objects AS xproc INNER JOIN sys.database_permissions AS prmssn ON prmssn.major_id=xproc.object_id AND prmssn.minor_id=0 AND

I'm using SQL Server 2008 R2, I have this simple table What I was trying to do is make a selection from this table and get this following result x | 1 | 2 | 3 --+------------+-------------+------------ 1 | first 1 | first 2 | first 3 2 | Second 1 | second 2 | second 3 I thought that can be done with PIVOT I don't know much about PIVOT AND all my search result found using PIVOT with Count() . SUM() , AVG() which will not work in my table since I'm trying to PIVOT on a varchar column Question am I using the right function? Or is there something else I need to know to solve this issue? Any help

I have two tables. An orders table with customer, and date. A date dimension table from a data warehouse. The orders table does not contain activity for every date in a given month, but I need to return a result set that fills in the gaps with date and customer. For Example, I need this: Customer Date =============================== Cust1 1/15/2012 Cust1 1/18/2012 Cust2 1/5/2012 Cust2 1/8/2012 To look like this: Customer Date ============================ Cust1 1/15/2012 Cust1 1/16/2012 Cust1 1/17/2012 Cust1 1/18/2012 Cust2 1/5/2012 Cust2 1/6/2012 Cust2 1/7/2012 Cust2 1/8/2012 This seems like a

(see Edit #1 with stack trace and Edit #2 with workaround at end of post) While troubleshooting TSQLQuery.FieldByName().AsString -> TStringStream Corrupts Data , I found that a TSQLQuery.FieldByName().AsBytes will only stream exactly 1MB of varchar(max) data correctly. Using WireShark, I verified that the data is all being handed to the Delphi app correctly . I verified that it always writes out the correct number of bytes to the output file, but any bytes that exceed exactly 1MB are null bytes. Additionally, TSQLQuery.FieldByName().AsString and .AsWideString also exhibit the same behavior.

I need to programmatically create a SQL Server 2008 table in C# such that the columns of the table should be generated from a list of columns (each column name is the name of a row in the table) My question is what is the command string to loop through the list of columns and creates the table's recorded: List<string> columnsName = ["col1","col2","col3"] I want to create a table with the columns in the columnsName . But since the list size in not constant, I need to loop through the list to generate the table columns. The simple answer is CREATE TABLE table_name ( column_name1 data_type,

I am writing a procedure that will be reconciling finical transactions on a live database. The work I am doing can not be done as a set operation so I am using two nested cursors. I need to take a exclusive lock on the transaction table while I am reconciling per client, but I would like to release the lock and let other people run their queries in between each client I process. I would love to do a exclusive lock on a row level instead of a table level, but what I have read so far says I can not do with (XLOCK, ROWLOCK, HOLDLOCK) if the other transactions are running at READCOMMITED isolation
