Error while importing flat file "Microsoft.SqlServer.Prose.Import" - sql

I am getting error while inserting flat file into SQL Server. Direct transfer from SQL Server to SQL Server is not possible. Data has to be exported and then imported. Note : Data was exported from SQL server with text qualifier "double quotes" and pipe delimited "|". I tried to re-extract the data using fixed width format still unable to import. Please assist.

Failed insert or update when add type column long text using NHibernate in VB.NET

I'm using Nhibernate 4 and FluentNhibernate 2.0.3 with db Microsoft Access 2000. I can't save the entry on the DB because i'm getting an error when I go to insert the Note field sending a request HTTP POST for example:
{
"Note": "bla bla bla"
}
NOTE: In the database table, the column "Note" is setted as "LONG TEXT" (Not Required)
Could It be a problem of conversion of data Types?
Here's the stack trace:

Time-out error using an Exact Online query in the Invantive query tool?

I'm using this query:

And i get a time out error without message code. It reads "Er is een time-out opgetreden voor de bewerking." The following details are attached to the error:

I'm trying to get an overview of the 'Scan en Herken' (i.e. Scanning and recognition of invoices) inbox in Exact Online. This inbox contains invoices and computer generated account entries, each of which is either:
ready to be processed (green),
needs a few alterations (yellow)
or needs to be handled mannualy (red).
We want to know specifically how many invoices are in each of these three different states. For those who need alterations or manual corrections we want to know what the errors are.
With the query I was using I was just digging around to find out what data is contained in the MailMessageAttachments table. I don't know whether I'm digging in the correct place, so any advice on the subject would be nice. Furthermore I would like to know why my SQL code raises a time out.
There are some possible improvements. The REST API Mail messages (JSON) of Exact Online has recently been restructured to perform better, but nonetheless is not the fastest one around.
Please make sure first of all that you select only the divisions that you want to work with, for instance using:
use 123456,345678,56789
instead of using:
use all
Start of with a small division with some sample data and when the queries works improve performance by testing it on larger divisions.
Also, you might want to make sure that no implicit data type conversions take place, so prefer:
date-field > to_date('20170101', 'yyyymmdd')
to
date-field > '2017-01-01'
In this query it will probably not hurt.
It is better to query on status code instead of description. Descriptions vary per country and even per user. And a code might have been indexed, whereas a translatable description not.
Also, not all mail message will have an attachment, so it is better to use a left outer join.
Also, the MailMessageAttachments table can be a HUGE table (many documents included in binary format, especially when people use a gray scale or color scanner). Each row can download multiple megabytes, so it is better to only join it when absolutely needed.
Finally, you can have the query stop running after a limited number of rows have been retrieved using 'top' or 'limit' syntax.
Resulting query:
select *
from MailMessagesReceived mmd
left
outer
join MailMessageAttachments mmt
on mmd.ID = mmt.ID
Where mmd.created > to_date('20170101', 'yyyymmdd')
And mmd.SenderMailbox = 'Facturen#ExactOnline.nl' -- 'finappanl#lyanthe.com'
and mmd.recipientstatus = 20 /* Open. Etc, look up for Prepared. Enables index use. */
limit 50
When run on 30 small divisions using set requests-parallel-max 8, it takes approximately 1 minute to the row.
PS. Note that you can find the actual REST and XML URL calls and their duration using select * from exactonlinerest..sessionios.

Code first custom SQL migration timeout exception

I am trying to create FULL TEXT index using Entity Framework Migration by executing custom Sql.
My migration class looks like this:
public partial class DocumentContentFullTextIndex : DbMigration
{
public override void Up()
{
AlterColumn("dbo.Attachments", "ContentType", c => c.String(maxLength: 260));
Sql("CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG FullTextIndexes AS DEFAULT;", true);
Sql(#"CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX ON [Attachments](
Content
TYPE COLUMN ContentType
Language 'ENGLISH'
)
KEY INDEX [PK_dbo.Attachments]
ON FullTextIndexes;", true);
}
public override void Down()
{
AlterColumn("dbo.Attachments", "ContentType", c => c.String(maxLength: null));
Sql("DROP FULLTEXT INDEX ON [Attachments]");
Sql("DROP FULLTEXT CATALOG FullTextIndexes");
}
}
When I run it from MSSQL management studio everything is perfect and SQL did exactly what I am expected from it.
But when running from migration project second Sql request fires exception

I tried to copy all SQL from Verbose output exactly 'as is' and execute it directly in Management Studio and it work exactly as expected with no errors.
Any ideas how this can be fixed?
Strange thing also that if I put ContentType max length changing code
AlterColumn("dbo.Attachments", "ContentType", c => c.String(maxLength: 260));
in separate migration file everything also works fine.
UPDATE:
After shivakumar advice I tried to increase connection timeout (up to 5 minutes) in migration configuration and this increased time before I received "Timeout exception" but problem is still there.
Use Configuration.cs file to set custom time out:
internal sealed class Configuration : DbMigrationsConfiguration<ApplicationDbContext>
{
public Configuration()
{
AutomaticMigrationsEnabled = false;
ContextKey = "YourDbContext";
// New timeout in seconds
this.CommandTimeout = 60 * 5;
}
}
Your request processing may be taking more time than default command timeout of entity framework(30 sec).
You can increase command timeout if necessary as in thread below.

Database Schema:
Database: UsersDB with table UserTable
Well the important thing here is probably the connection string. Do the following: create an empty text file and rename it "myconnection.udl". Now double click on the file and it will launch an applet. You can configuer the connection to your database and test it. Now open the udl file in notepad, you will see the correct connection string. Copy connections string to your app connection settings. UDL files are generally misunderstood. They are simply a text file that holds the connection settings. They then call the connection dll. If the udl file works then you have a correct connection string 100%
I solved my problem - I entered the wrong table in the procedure query. It had to be as follows:
create PROCEDURE CheckUser
(
#username as varchar(50),
#password as varchar(50)
)
AS
SELECT * FROM UserTable WHERE Username=#username AND Password=#password
I erroneously entered UsersDB instead of UserTable

LINQ to SQL delete producing "Specified cast is not valid" error

I've got a painfully simple table that is giving me a "Specified cast is not valid" error when I try to delete one or more rows. The table has two columns, an "id" as the primary key (INT), and a "name" (VARCHAR(20)), which maps to a String in the LINQ to SQL dbml file. Both of these statements produce the error:
dc.DeleteOnSubmit(dc.MyTables.Where(Function(x) x.id = 1).SingleOrDefault)
dc.DeleteAllOnSubmit(dc.MyTables)
I iterated through "MyTable" just to make sure there was no weird data, and there are only two rows:
id = 1, name = "first"
id = 2, name = "second"
The exception is happening on SubmitChanges. Here is the stack trace:

Removing the association added to the DBML file allows rows to be deleted. Why would the association be causing the error? The associated columns are both VARCHAR(20) in the database and resolve to Strings in the DBML file.
What could possibly be causing a casting error?
Okay, upon seeing the update, the issue is the association between your two tables. This is a known bug in .NET 3.5 SP1 and will be fixed in .NET 4.0. Try your code on a .NET 4.0 Beta if you can.
We had a similar problem, caused by using non-integer keys. Details and hotfix number are here: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=351358
Try:
dc.MyTables.DeleteOnSubmit(dc.MyTables.SingleOrDefault(x=>x.id==1));
dc.MyTables.DeleteAllOnSubmit(dc.MyTables);
