So here is the situation I have, my Microsoft SQL server is linked to a bunch of Fox pro databases. Views are created for each db and them all the data is imported into a MSSQL database.
Well apparently one of our data entry people entered some characters into a numeric field in one of the Fox pro db's, which Fox pro will allow but Microsoft throws an error, "Error converting varchar to numeric". I was able to track the error back to 1 or 2 tables in the Fox pro db's. The problem being I have approximately 45 linked Fox pro databases.
What I need help with is a query that I can run against each Fox pro table(view) to see if the data in each column matches the data type of that column?
Any other suggestions on how to find this bad data would also be very welcome.
Thanks in advance
