I have been trying to identify which data type to use in a specific column, because I am encountering an error every time I import/export into my database.

I've tried nvarchar, float, decimal but I can't upload it all.

Here's an example of data I need to upload in my database:

P/VHL01-032013-85433

Here's the error:

*Messages Error 0xc0202009: Data Flow Task 1: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Unspecified error". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)

*Error 0xc020901c: Data Flow Task 1: There was an error with input column "TELEPHONE" (91) on input "Destination Input" (60). The column status returned was: "The value violated the integrity constraints for the column.". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)

*Error 0xc0209029: Data Flow Task 1: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR. The "input "Destination Input" (60)" failed because error code 0xC020907D occurred, and the error row disposition on "input "Destination Input" (60)" specifies failure on error.

The ProcessInput method on component "Destination - tbl_billdelivery" (47) failed with error code 0xC0209029 while processing input "Destination Input" (60). The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running.

*Error 0xc0047038: Data Flow Task 1: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRIMEOUTPUTFAILED. The PrimeOutput method on component "Source - Sheet1$" (1) returned error code 0xC02020C4. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)

is that the entire string? – Rahul
I disagree with the close votes. Nothing in this question is asking to recommend an off-site library, tool, or resource. – Cirdec
This question would be more useful to others if you included the error you are encountering, as well as how you are trying to load the data. – Cirdec
"The value violated the integrity constraints for the column." Well, that's pretty clear. It's normally that you're putting a NULL into a column of a database table that doesn't allow NULLs, but as pointed out in answers to this related question it could be any other kind of integrity constraint issue. Let's see the definition of the target table, including your integrity constraints. – Matt Gibson
I'm confused - why would you ever think the value P/VHL01-032013-85433 would be a floating point number or a decimal value? That is a text value so the only valid data types will be char/varchar/nchar/nvarchar. Only you will know whether you need to account for unicode text in this column. That solved, you then need to identify what is the maximum possible length for that field. The current value is 20 characters. Could it exceed that? How large will it realistically get? Do not be lazy and specify (8000) or (max). Finally, will that value always exist - ie is it nullable or not null – billinkc

Once I encountered similar problem and I solved it with:

  • installing Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable (For office 2010)
