Casting of Object type to String in Expression

  • Hi,

    My SQL query returns data with HTML Code as single row

    I used Execute SQL task & Objects variable to get the SQL resultset.(When i used String variable it thrown errors)

    I am going to use this Object in SendMailTask expression for Subject.

    Thanks,

    I don't think you can use the Object variable directly in an expression. You'll need to parse it using a script task/component.

    What error did you get when using a string variable?

    when i am going to take this in string variable i am getting following error:

    An error ocured while assigning a value to the variable "StrBdy1":"The type of value being assigned to variable "User::StrBdy1" differs from the current variable type. variable may not change type during execution.

    when i changed variable from string to Object type it executed successfully....

    Now this string needs to be the Body of sendmail task

    Thanks,

  • Try adding SET NOCOUNT ON at the beginning, as you have multiple SELECT statements in your query, albeit that only one returns data.

    If you execute this in SSMS, what do you get?

    Think about creating a stored procedure/function for this, maybe that will give less issues.

    But i was unable to get this into SSIS string variable.

  • SSIS could be giving troubles because of the length of the text. (there is a 4000 character limit, but I thought this was only in expressions)

    I would do this in SQL Server itself. Put your query in a stored procedure and use the result in dbo.sp_send_dbmail.

  • I did it actually.....

    But i have to run the same query on 5 servers and send mails. Instead of 5 mails i need to send 1 mail.

    A single mail that contains SQL job(s) history of 5 servers. So i used SSIS with 5 execute SQL tasks and finally concatenating all resultsets to send a mail....

    Even i tried with ScriptTask to convert Object to String it also thrown error with System_ComObject...etc..
