trying to update/insert using DTS package

  • I'm trying to update a table using a DTS package. I have so far a package with a data driven query to insert rows which works.

    I  have a package with a data driven query to update rows that doesn't work. I want to update all columns except one in the test_tbl. This is the sql I'm using:

    UPDATE    test_tbl

    SET  last_name = ?, first_name

    = ?, middle_init = ?, ssn = ?, birthdate = ?, addr1 = ?, city

    = ?, state = ?, zip = ?, hm_phone_nbr = ?, r_name = ?,   

    department = ?, companyposition = ?, employeeno

    = ?, datehired = ?

    WHERE     employeeno = ?

    With this I get error:

    Operand type clash: datetime is incompatible with ntext.

    Then I need to run something that will call either one or the other of these packages. Depending on whether the employeeno is in there already.

    Any ideas are greatly appreciated! Thanks.

     

     

     

  • I think the problem might be because the column I don't want to update is taking the first parameter and throwing everything else off.

    When setting the transformations I thought I had to select them all, is that correct? I had an error when I didn't select the column I don't want to update. (One or more destination parameter columns had no transformation specified).

    Is there a way around this? Thanks!
