Hello everyone... i have some problem with instead of trigger... after insert values into v_PhotovoltaicClimateData, i got this error, Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Procedure tr_v_PhotovoltaicClimateData, Line 6
Error converting data type varchar to float.


below is my DDL for Photovoltaic table

quote:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Photovoltaic](
[PV_application_id] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Photovoltaic_PV_application_id] DEFAULT (newid()),
[PV_site] [varchar](50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AI NULL,

[Org_application_id] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Photovoltaic_1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[PV_application_id] ASC
)WITH (IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]


Below is my DDL for ClimateData table

quote:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ClimateData](
[Climate_application_id] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_ClimateData_Climate_application_id] DEFAULT (newid()),
[Latitude] [float] NULL,
[Longitude] [float] NULL,
[Altitude] [varchar](50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AI NULL,
[Climate_type] [varchar](100) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AI NULL,
[PV_application_id] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_ClimateData_1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[Climate_application_id] ASC
)WITH (IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]




below is my v_PhotovoltaicClimateData

quote:
CREATE VIEW [dbo].[v_PhotovoltaicClimateData]
AS
SELECT dbo.Photovoltaic.PV_site, dbo.Photovoltaic.PV_state, dbo.Photovoltaic.PV_type_of_system, dbo.Photovoltaic.PV_nominal_power,
dbo.Photovoltaic.PV_module, dbo.Photovoltaic.PV_mounting, dbo.ClimateData.Latitude, dbo.ClimateData.Longitude, dbo.ClimateData.Altitude,
dbo.ClimateData.Climate_type
FROM dbo.ClimateData INNER JOIN
dbo.Photovoltaic ON dbo.ClimateData.PV_application_id = dbo.Photovoltaic.PV_application_id


below is my instead of trigger command...

quote:
CREATE trigger [tr_v_PhotovoltaicClimateData] on [dbo].[v_PhotovoltaicClimateData] instead of insert as
BEGIN

insert Photovoltaic (PV_site, PV_state, PV_type_of_system, PV_nominal_power, PV_module,
PV_mounting)
select distinct inserted.PV_site, inserted.PV_state, inserted.PV_type_of_system,
inserted.PV_nominal_power, inserted.PV_module, inserted.PV_mounting
from inserted left join Photovoltaic on inserted.PV_site = Photovoltaic.PV_site
and inserted.PV_state = Photovoltaic.PV_state
and inserted.PV_type_of_system = Photovoltaic.PV_type_of_system
and inserted.PV_nominal_power = Photovoltaic.PV_nominal_power
and inserted.PV_nominal_power = Photovoltaic.PV_module
and inserted.PV_nominal_power = Photovoltaic.PV_mounting
where Photovoltaic.PV_site IS NULL /*** Exclude Photovoltaic already in the table ***/

insert ClimateData (Latitude, Longitude, Altitude, Climate_type, PV_application_id)
select distinct inserted.Latitude, inserted.Longitude, inserted.Altitude, inserted.Climate_type,
Photovoltaic.PV_application_id
from inserted inner join Photovoltaic on inserted.PV_site = Photovoltaic.PV_site
left join ClimateData on inserted.Latitude = ClimateData.Latitude
and inserted.Longitude = ClimateData.Longitude
and inserted.Altitude = ClimateData.Altitude
and inserted.Climate_type = ClimateData.Climate_type
where ClimateData.Latitude IS NULL /*** Exclude Climate Data already in the table ***/

END -- trigger def


this is my commad insert values using instead of trigger that i've created...

quote:
insert into v_PhotovoltaicClimateData(PV_site, PV_state, PV_type_of_system, PV_nominal_power,
PV_module, PV_mounting, Latitude, Longitude, Altitude, Climate_type)
values ('CETDEM', 'Sequ Inspection', 'Cheras', 34.44 , 'ew', 'ewew',
34343.44, 323.32, 'ewew', 'ewewe')


after execute this commad, i got this error..
quote:
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Procedure tr_v_PhotovoltaicClimateData, Line 6
Error converting data type varchar to float.
