This error occurs when the lock cannot be applied on a specific table at a specified granularity.

It occurs for two granularity levels:
ROW
PAGE

For more information on ROW granularity locking error follow this link:
Cannot use the ROW granularity hint on the table because locking at the specified granularity is inhibited.

For more information on PAGE granularity locking error follow this link:
Cannot use the PAGE granularity hint on the table because locking at the specified granularity is inhibited.

When you try to convert varchar datatype to datetime you would get this error when the value in varchar datatype does not represent the correct range of date.

Example Queries:

SELECT CAST( '2012-04-31' AS DATETIME)

Result:

Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.

Other Sample queries:

SELECT CAST( '2012-04-30 24:00:00.000' AS DATETIME)

SELECT CAST( '2012-04-30 00:60:00.000' AS DATETIME)

SELECT CAST( '2012-04-30 00:00:60.000' AS DATETIME)

SELECT CAST( '2012-04-30 24:00:00.000' AS DATETIME)

Fix:
- Check if the values in the varchar data type are in the range of datetime datatype. Use this link to check the same: Range of datetime data type
- Check if the values for month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds are valid.

Unable to Restore SQL Server 2000 Backup on SQL Server 2012?

If you are trying to restore SQL Server 2000 backup on SQL Server 2008 you would be facing error like:

Msg 3169, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

The database was backed up on a server running version 8.00.2055. That version is incompatible with this server, which is running version 11.00.2100. Either restore the database on a server that supports the backup, or use a backup that is compatible with this server.

Restoring SQL Server 2000 backup to SQL Server 2012 is not supported.

Why?
According to MSDN In SQL Server 2012, you can restore a user database from a database backup that was created by using SQL Server 2005 or a later version.

How to restore then?
Fix/resolution:
Use SQL Server 2008 R2 as an intermediate source.

Steps:
1. First restore the SQL Server 2000 backup to SQL Server 2008 r2.
2. Then backup the database from SQL Server 2008 r2 and restore it on SQL Server 2012.

If you do not have SQL Server 2008 r2, You can download a trial version of SQL Server 2008 r2 from the below links.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/ff459612
http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/editions/previous-versions.aspx

Alternatively you can use SQL Server 2005 (or) SQL Server 2008 also as an intermediate source.

Following the above steps should help solve the problem.

Also verify the database backup on each target server before restoring: Verify SQL Server Database Backup

Operand type clash: int is incompatible with xml

This error comes up when you try to set XML variable with an int value.

Sample Code:

DECLARE @Var1 XML
DECLARE @Var2 INT

SET @Var2 = 1

SELECT @Var1 = @Var2

When you execute the above code you get this error at line 6
SELECT @Var1 = @Var2

Fix:
Check all the XML related variables, columns in the table, Arguments to stored procedure, function etc…
and validate if the correct XML value is set.

Error:

Msg 492, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Duplicate column names are not allowed in result sets obtained through OPENQUERY and OPENROWSET. The column name “A” is a duplicate.

Possible Reason:
Column names being duplicate in the result set returned by OPENQUERY (or) OPENROWSET.

Example:

SELECT 1 AS A,2 AS A

Executes Successfully!!!

When the same query is used in the OPENROWSET.

SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('SQLOLEDB',
                         'Server=(local);Trusted_Connection=Yes;Database=Master',
                         'SELECT 1 AS A,2 AS A')

Errors Out with Msg 492, Level 16, State 1, Line 3.

Fix/Resolution:
Make sure that each and every column in the result set returned by OPENQUERY (or) OPENROWSET has a different name.

SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('SQLOLEDB',
                         'Server=(local);Trusted_Connection=Yes;Database=Master',
                         'SELECT 1 AS A,2 AS B')

Error:

OLE DB provider “SQLNCLI10″ for linked server “(null)” returned message “Deferred prepare could not be completed.”.
Msg 8180, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Statement(s) could not be prepared.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near ‘AS’.

In the above error the second error Msg 102 is thrown by the destination linked server, and the error 8180 is thrown by the local(source) server.

Reason for this error:
There could be synatax error in the query that is passed to the Linked Server(Other Server).

FIX/Resolution:
Execute the query that is passed to the Target server on the target server and check if there are any Syntax/Runtime errors.

SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('SQLOLEDB',
                         'Server=(local);Trusted_Connection=Yes;Database=Master',
                         'SELECT * fromsys.tables')

OLE DB provider “SQLNCLI10″ for linked server “(null)” returned message “Deferred prepare could not be completed.”.
Msg 8180, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Statement(s) could not be prepared.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near ‘fromsys’.

Now when I try to execute the query (shown below) on the target server, I came to know the syntax error in the statement.

SELECT * fromsys.tables

Fixed code:

SELECT * from sys.tables

Now I update the Original Code as follows. Now the code runs without error.

SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('SQLOLEDB',
                         'Server=(local);Trusted_Connection=Yes;Database=Master',
                         'SELECT * from sys.tables')

Error Message:

Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid column name ‘names’.

Fix/Resolution:
1) Use correct alias names in your tsql code
2) Check if the column name exists in the table (or) Table valued function.
3) If the metadata is recently updated use sp_refreshsqlmodule to update metadata of the non schema bound objects.

Error Message:

Msg 1205, Level 13, State 56, Line 1
Transaction (Process ID 56) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.

Why This Error?
Deadlock occurs when any two SQL server process IDs are locking a seperate resource and each one of them is trying to access the resource locked by the other process.

Fix/Resolution:
Check the below link for real time scenario and resolution to deadlock:
Deadlock Internals with Real Time Scenario – Explanation and Resolution

1) Try to use SQL server profiler to Analyze Deadlocks. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188246.aspx

2) In each script that has a transaction(locking) invoived, Begin the transaction as late as possible and commit it as soon as possible.

3) Try to set the optimal lock time value depending up on your script. Link: Using @@LOCK_TIMEOUT

4) SET the DEADLOCK_PRIORITY value in each script so that the priority processes wont be deadlocked. Link: SET DEADLOCK_PRIORITY

5) Use query hints for each TSQL Query.
Use WITH NOLOCK in select statements (when the waiting/locking is not needed)

Error Message:

Msg 402, Level 16, State 1, Line 5
The data types varchar(max) and xml are incompatible in the add operator.

This message occurs when you try to add varchar and xml data types.

Fix:
If you wanted to concatinate the XML Data type and Varchar Data type values, use the CAST Operator on XML Data type to convert into VARCHAR Datatype.

Example:

DECLARE @a XML
DECLARE @b VARCHAR(max)
SET @a = '<A></A>'
SET @b = 'ABC'
SELECT @b + @a

The Above code Gives Error 402.

Fixed Code:

DECLARE @a XML
DECLARE @b VARCHAR(max)
SET @a = '<A></A>'
SET @b = 'ABC'
SELECT CAST(@a AS VARCHAR(max))+@b

Error Message:

Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 5
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value ’20.0′ to data type int.

This error occurs when you try to convert varchar datatype to datatype int and the value of datatype varchar is not compatable with int.

Example:

DECLARE @a INT
DECLARE @b VARCHAR(max)
SET @a = 11
SET @b = '20.0'
select @a+@b

When you execute the above code you get error 245.

Fix:
- Correct the data that is present in in the varchar data type
- Use the CAST or Convert operator to convert varchar to int

Fixed Code:

DECLARE @a INT
DECLARE @b VARCHAR(max)
SET @a = 11

Error Message:

Msg 107, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
The column prefix ‘A’ does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query.

This error occurs when the correct table name/alias is not used in the select query.

Example:

SELECT a.* FROM SYS.tables 

When you execute the above code you get error message Msg 107.

Fix/Resolution:
Correct the select list with the correct table names or alias names.

SELECT sys.tables.* FROM sys.tables

SELECT tables.* FROM sys.tables

SELECT T.* FROM sys.tables T

Error Message:

Msg 120, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
The select list for the INSERT statement contains fewer items than the insert list. The number of SELECT values must match the number of INSERT columns.

This error occurs when the select clause contains lesser number of columns then that present in the insert clause.

Example:

DECLARE @VTABLE table(ID INT, NAME VARCHAR(100))

INSERT INTO @VTABLE(ID,NAME)
SELECT 1

Fix/Resolution:
Make the number of columns in select statement and insert statement equal.

Update the select statement with the number of columns equal to that of insert statement.

DECLARE @VTABLE table(ID INT, NAME VARCHAR(100))

INSERT INTO @VTABLE(ID,NAME)
SELECT 1,'ABC'

Update the insert statement with the number of columns equal to that of select statement.

DECLARE @VTABLE table(ID INT, NAME VARCHAR(100))

INSERT INTO @VTABLE(ID)
SELECT 1

Error Message:

Msg 121, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
The select list for the INSERT statement contains more items than the insert list. The number of SELECT values must match the number of INSERT columns.

This error occurs when the select clause contains more number of columns then that present in the insert clause.

Example:

DECLARE @VTABLE table(ID INT, NAME VARCHAR(100))

INSERT INTO @VTABLE(ID)
SELECT 1,'Devi'

Fix/Resolution:
Make the number of columns in select statement and insert statement equal

Update the select statement with the number of columns equal to that of insert statement.

DECLARE @VTABLE table(ID INT, NAME VARCHAR(100))

INSERT INTO @VTABLE(ID,NAME)
SELECT 1,'ABC'

Update the insert statement with the number of columns equal to that of select statement.

DECLARE @VTABLE table(ID INT, NAME VARCHAR(100))

INSERT INTO @VTABLE(ID)
SELECT 1

Error Message:

Msg 127, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
A TOP N value may not be negative.

This error occurs when you try to specify negative value for the TOP Clause in the select statement.

Simple Example:

SELECT TOP(-5) * FROM sys.tables

When the above code is executed error message 127 would occur.

Fix/Resolution:

Update the TOP clause with a positive value.

SELECT TOP(5) * FROM sys.tables

In the above code -5 is changed to 5.

Error Message:

Msg 8152, Level 16, State 14, Line 4
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.

Why this error?
This error occurs whan the size of data that is inserted into a column is greater than the size of the column.

Example:

DECLARE @Temp table(Col1 VARCHAR(10))


INSERT INTO @Temp(Col1)
SELECT '12345678901'

Fix/Resolution:

Increase the size of the column so that the length of the column is greater than or equal to length of the value that is inserted.

DECLARE @Temp table(Col1 VARCHAR(11))


INSERT INTO @Temp(Col1)
SELECT '12345678901'

Decrease the size of the data (value) so that the length of the data is lesser than or equal to length of the column.

DECLARE @Temp table(Col1 VARCHAR(10))


INSERT INTO @Temp(Col1)
SELECT '1234567890'

Error Message:

Msg 628, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Cannot issue SAVE TRANSACTION when there is no active transaction.

Why This Error?
- This error occurs when SAVE TRANSACTION/TRAN command is issued prior to issuing BEGIN TRANSACTION Command.
- The transaction could be commited/Rollbacked before issuing SAVE TRANSACTION command

Examples:

SAVE TRAN Tran1

OR

BEGIN TRAN
ROLLBACK TRAN
SAVE TRAN Tran1

Fix/Resolution:

Check for BEGIN TRAN command before SAVE TRAN command.
Check if the tran is commited/rollbacked before SAVE Tran Command.
If the transaction needs to be saved then make sure that the SAVE TRAN command is issued after the BEGIN TRAN command and before the COMMIT/ROLLBACK Tran command.
