SQL 7.0 and DTS error message

  • I'm using DTS in Enterprise Manager in SQL 7.0 to try and transform data from a text file or Excel file to an existing Fox Pro file. However, when I go to execute the package, it fails and I get this error message:

    Error at Destination for Row number 1. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1.

    Error Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers

    Error Description:Query-based insertion or updating of BLOB values is not supported.

    Error Help File:

    Error Help Context ID:0

    I'm not extremely familiar with SQL or DTS, but I've tried all that I can think of to figure this out. I would appreciate any help if someone could lead me in the right direction. If you need more info on the problem, let me know and I will post whatever else is needed.

    Thanks,

    James

  • Thanks Antares. I checked out the website, unfortunately with no luck. Nothing I read really answered the error problem I'm encountering. Do you have any other ideas??

    Thanks!

  • Sorry couldn't help more, cannot find anymore detsail on this. Have you tried to turn logging on in the DTS package itself? May output a bit more detail.

  • When you say logging, do you mean error logging? If you do, yeah I have that on so it will write the errors to a log file...that's where I got the error part in the original post. Would seeing all of it help more?

  • Yes that is what I meant. Please post the entire contents, maybe I can see something.

  • Sorry I am still not finding anything usefull. Try this. If you can, use a query to define the records to be exported and do SELECT TOP 5 and see what happens. If no error then increase TOP 100, may be a specific record. Also, I believe in DTS there is an option to ignore X number of records. Open the package and right click then choose properties. If you cannot find let me know and I will double check. I am curious if a specific row is the issue? You may also need to check the tables source and destination to see how DTS is defining them. You may be able to alter.

  • Hi, did you put the blob fields at the end of the select statement?
