[01000][unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib

I was testing unixODBC configuration to connect to SQLServer Database and received below error message

$ isql -v test_ds test_username test_password
[01000][unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/u01/boxi/app/testsrv/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/linux_x64/odbc/lib/CRsqls24.so' : file not found [ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect

It looks like path does not exists, lets verify

ls: cannot access /u01/boxi/app/testsrv/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/linux_x64/odbc/lib/CRsqls24.so: No such file or directory

The patch does not exist, so update the correct path in odbc.ini and ran “isql –v” to test the connectivity

$ isql -v test_ds test_username test_password
[01000][unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/u01/boxi/app/testsrv/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/linux_x64/odbc/7.0.1/lib/CRsqls26.so' : file not found
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect

After updating correct library path, I still see same error. It looks like the environment variables might not set properly. I have verified the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and I see that path does not have right lib info.

After updating LD_LIBRARY_PATH with right library path I was able to connect successfully.

$ isql -v test_ds test_username test_password

Error converting data type varchar to numeric

I was working on an ETL load and I come across below error when loading data from one table another table.

Error converting data type varchar to numeric

I see that the source table has data type VARCHAR and Target table has data type INTEGER

Source Table: Employee_X
EMPLOYEE_ID VARCHAR(50)
EMPLOYEE_NAME VARCHAR(50)
COSTCODE VARCHAR(50)

Target Table: Employee_Y
EMPLOYEE_ID INT
EMPLOYEE_NAME VARCHAR2 (50)
COSTCODE INT

I have used CAST function in the insert command and able to load data successfully

Insert into Employee_Y (EMPLOYEE_ID, EMPLOYEE_NAME, COSTCODE)
SELECT cast(EMPLOYEE _ID as INT) as EMPLOYEE_ID,
               EMPLOYEE_NAME,
               cast(COSTCODE as INT) as COSTCODE,
FROM Employee_X;
