I have a problem where I try to read some data from QuickBooks Desktop file in SSIS through ADO.NET Source using QODBC driver. Driver is set up correctly, because I am able to preview table contents of the file like so
I am also successful in using SQL Command access mode when I do a simple query like SELECT * FROM Item.
But the moment I try to use SQL Command to incorporate a WHERE clause against TimeModified field like so: SELECT * FROM Item WHERE TimeModified >= '12/21/2022 1:16:34 PM' and try to preview I get an error saying this:
Now, I sent that row by using table access mode into a derived column and looked up what type TimeModified column uses and saw that it uses DBTIMESTAMP. So I suspected that you can't use the >= operator on that type, so what I also tried in my query is utilizing the DATE() function on the WHERE clause, omitting the time piece like so (Although ideally I would like to keep the hours to be able to use them in my query as time is important but for test sake):
But as you can see I got the Expected Lexical Element Not Found error.
I originally intended for this to work through an expression in which I obtain a value for a variable of most recent date by querying from a database prior this step and then get the items from the Item table that are older than said date. However, now I completely cut the expression idea just for the sake of trying to get this to work but it doesn't seem like it wants to. Am I doing something wrong? I made some querying in SQL against a date field by using strings of various formats like I showed earlier and those queries in SQL Server all succeeded but here nothing works.
If you are interested how the connection to QuickBooks Desktop is made I am using 32bit QODBC Driver which you can see there as 'QuickBooks Data' in the ADO.NET Source.
Thank you in advance for your help!
So I figured it out. Apparently with QODBC when it comes to timestamps you have to query them by doing something like this:
SELECT * FROM Item WHERE TimeModified >= {ts '2022-12-16 15:05:55.000'} ORDER BY TimeModified DESC

I've been tasked with converting one of our old Access queries from pointing to SQL Server to point to DB2. The query is essentially the same outside of it pointing to 3 new linked DB2 views.
The query has 4 criteria in it. 3 of the 4 are either string or number columns (those work fine). The issue I am running into is for the 4th field which is a Date field.
Anytime I try to run the query with any date Criteria like > #2017/10/27# in the date field, it doesn't work and I get this strange message:
What makes this even more strange is when I change the criteria to a parameter to prompt for a date input, IT WORKS. I would appreciate any help or work-around to solve this issue.
Note: I am on 64-bit Access
My machine is on 64-Bit, but after testing the Access Database query on 32-Bit, it works now.
I have created a View Criteria in ADF that searches employees on the basis of employee name and name is passed through a bind variable. When I search using equals it fetches the result.
However, my requirement is to search using CONTAINS. When I use CONTAINS it doesn't fetch out any data and shows no record found.
I believe that contains uses Oracle style wild cards which might not be the same as what MySQL expects.
Turn on fine logging on the ADF BC layer to see the SQL that is issued and verify.
This error was occurring because i was querying MySql but syntax which was gong through here was of ORACLE , so what we can do here is change the query execution mode from database to in memory this will resolve the error and will work fine and it worked for me.
I wonder if there is some type of common method that would help me write query with date/time field in it. For example: I am developing a very small project utilizing MySQL database. However, my client is considering switching to his existing SQL server.
Example (datetime column):
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(contract_date, '%d.%m.%Y') FROM `employees`
Question: Can query below become usable in SQL in case I replace database driver (currently) mysqli to sqlsrv?
I understand I can use some type of config variable for date format... Would it be the best way? Is there something that Codeigniter 3 has in place?
feel free to use your own query sample
I have an SSIS package set up to export data from a SQL Server 2008 R2 table to a MySQL version of that table. The package executes however, I am getting about 1% of the rows failing to be exported.
My source connection uses the SQL statement
SELECT * FROM Table1
all of the columns are integers. An example of a row which is exported successfully is
2169,2680, 3532,NULL, 2169
compared to a row which fails
2168,2679,3532,NULL, 2168
virtually nothing different that I can ascertain.
Notably, if I change the source query to only attempt the transfer of a single failing row - ie.
SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE ID = 2168
then the record is exported fine - it is only when part of a select which returns multiple rows that it fails. The same rows fail the export each time. I have redirected error rows to a text file which displays a -1071610801 error for the failing rows. This would apparently translate to:-
DTS_E_ADODESTERRORUPDATEROW: "An error has occurred while sending this row to destination data source."
which doesn't really add a great deal to my understanding of the issue!
I am wondering if there is a locking issue or something preventing given rows from being fetched or inserted correctly but if anyone has any ideas or suggestions on what might be causing this or even better how to go about resolving it they would be greatly appreciated. I am currently at a total loss...
Try to setup longer timeout (1 day) ot the mysql (ADO.NET) destination.
Well after much head scratching and attempting every work around that I could come up with I have finally found a solution for this.
In the end I switched out the MySQL connector for a different driver produced by devArt -dotConnect for MySql and, with a few minor exceptions (which I think I can resolve) all of my data is now exporting without error.
The driver is a paid for product unfortunately but in the end I'd have taken out a new mortgage to see all those tasks go green!
I use Kettle for some transformations and ran into a problem:
For one specific row, my DatabaseLookup step hangs. It just doesn't give a result. Trying to stop the transformation results in a never ending "Halting" for the lookup step.
The value given is nothing complicated at all, neither it is different from all other rows/values. It just won't continue.
Doing the same query in the database directly or in a different database tool (e.g. SQuirreL), it works.
I use Kettle/Spoon 4.1, the database is MySQL 5.5.10. It happens with Connector/J 5.1.14 and the one bundled with spoon.
The step initializes flawlessly (it even works for other rows) and I have no idea why it fails. No error message in the Spoon logs, nothing on the console/shell.
weird. Whats the table type? is it myisam? Does your transform also perform updates to the same table? maybe you are locking the table inadvertantly at the same time somehow?
Or maybe it's a mysql 5.5 thing.. But ive used this step extensively with mysql 5.0 and pdi 4.everything and it's always been fine... maybe post the transform?
I just found the culprit:
The lookup takes as a result the id field and gave it a new name, PERSON_ID. This FAILS in some cases! The resulting lookup/prepared statement was something like
select id as PERSON_ID FROM table WHERE ...
SOLUTION:
Don't use underscore in the "New name" for the field! With a new name of PERSONID everything works flawlessly for ALL rows!
Stupid error ...
