If I have a SQL 2000 database with a table that is using 2 Ntext fields with a lot of data in them, can I convert them to VarChar(8000) fields safely? Will there be data loss? Would it best be done through Enterprise Manager?
View RepliesI am converting an Access Database system to SQL Server. I am experiencing the following with an ntext field. It was converted to this from memo using the upsizing wizard.
TableName.open SQL, cnn, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly, adCmdText
Response.Write(TableName("NtextField"))
Response.Write(TableName("NtextField"))
The second Write displays nothing.
If I change from adOpenForwardOnly to adOpenStatic it works fine and both writes show the contents of the ntext field. Can anyone give me some insight into this?
I have a field "Description", varchar2(100). When I try to show it on the HTML/ ASP page from a recordset, it appears as "word+word+word", nevertheless I have no "+" in the field.
I m updating a table which contains a field with datatype=ntext.
I use a stored procedure to insert/update data in it.
SP's parameter's data type is ntext.
Following is the code in which i created the parameter.
Code:
SET objParam1 = objComm.CreateParameter("@xmltempSrc",adLongVarChar,adParamInput,1073741823,txtXmlConte nt)
objComm.Parameters.Append objParam1
when i execute it, it give error as :

I m using Sql server and ASP.
Because I needed to store more than 4,000 characters, I decided to convert one field in SQL Server Database from nvarchar to ntext...now the field holds many more characters without a problem as I examined in my online manager.
But when I tried to display it on my asp page with
Code:
<%=rs("Text")%>
, nothing showed up, and there is no error message. It cannot be null because i checked in the manager...
I'm using SQL Server and I decided to convert one of the fields from nvarchar to ntext. The transition in the manager was all right, but my ASP pages wouldn't display the ntext and there is no error message. I use Code:
<%=rs("Text")%>
to display the ntext...and there is nothing.
how to update and retrieve ntext fields in my asp code:
View Replies View RelatedUpon retrieving a recordset from a MS SQL database I can't Response.Write those columns that are of the data type text or ntext.
I'm using the shorthand: <%= oRS("COLUMN_NAME") %>
Other fields work fine, so I know the query is returing at least one row.
Any ideas on this?
I keep optimizing my fields down to the minimum character length
necessary i.e., varchar(15), then I find out a month later its gotta
get bigger, then a few months later, bigger again, etc. Nowadays on
sql server 2005 and on, how bad is it really to use varchar(max)? Is
there really a big performance or storage hit or is it negligible?
My data input page uses a id generator which includes dashes, and the
corresponding column in the db is set up as varchar to handle that.
There is a problem, however, when the value in the varchar column is
compared to the string from the URL, and the following error message
occurs:
"Syntax error converting the varchar value '071-213' to a column of
data type int."
<%strSQL = "SELECT * FROM AMS where MinutesID = " & Request ("id")%>
Would it be possible to CAST the request string to varchar?
ive got a form which takes in someone's age.
request.form("Age")
and then using a stored procedure i want to stick that age into a table in my DB (SQL server) The data type of the table where age goes is type int. So when i run my script to grab the age from the form it tells me :
"Error converting data type varchar to int."
So how would i get around that?
I was wondering if any one could help, I've been looking on the net and can't seem to find any. how do you convert varchar to int, I'm trying to do an sql statement and it chucks up errors.
View Replies View RelatedI have a problem with submitting data from one form to db in sql server. Data type of that field in DB table is money (the other is for varbinary data type) and in asp I have an textfield <input type='text'....>. After submitting I get the next error message:

I need to compare two values. one from a text field 'bid' and the other
from a field in an sql server database 'maxbid'.
The problem is the column in the database has decimal as its data type
and i'm getting a type mismatch. does anyone know how to convert 'bid'
into decimal from varchar? the field datatype doesnt necessarily have
to be decimal although i need two decimal places so it cant be an int.
The problem I am having is that I am trying to insert data from a form into a DB, but I cannot figure out how to change the form value (varchar) to the db value (money).
I've tried cast(bill_priceA as money) and I get

When I execute this code, I receive this error on line 314:

Line 314 is the classComm.Execute line. All the datatypes in my stored procedure those specified in the parameter declararations, and they all match with the datatypes in the DB. Other than the strings that are integer (strClassID) or date (strOccurDate), everything is a varchar.
I have no idea why this error is occurring. I have a similar stored procedure that adds the records in the same way and it kicks out the same error at the same time.
there is an old asp application that is moved from one machine to the other.On the one machine its working fine, but on the new one, when trying to insert from the asp page(variables from the asp page), i get this error, Error converting data type varchar to datetime.
I have tried almost everything, from checking the order of variables, but still get the error. When the proc is executed on SQL it runs fine, am i maybe missing something?

I have read that there can be a periodic problem when reading large varchar or text fields from SQL server (or memo fields from Access)--they can sometimes come up as empty strings.
What I have been unable to find out is whether this problem is still around in recent versions of MDAC (>= 2.8). Does anyone know whether this problem still occurs--is it still necessary to follow the steps in that aspfaq article?
I have a 3 page set that searches a database for users, displays the user information in a form and updates the data in the database. The first 2 pages work fine, the third page doesn't. What is annoying is that these pages are a copy of another set of pages that edit news articles (basically the same thing) and they work perfectly.
This is ASP with SQL and VB Script.

I am using a Relational database for my site and i have the following tables:
FIXTURES, GAMEDATES
the fields in FIXTURES are:
GameDate
Home
Away
(All of the above are numerical fields)
the fields in GAMEDATES are:
DateID(integer)
GameDate(#Date Field#)
What i have done is in the GAMEDATE field in the FIXTURES table i have used the ID number of the date that i wish to assign to that record - using a LEFT JOIN to display the actual date that is pulled from the GAMEDATES table (That which corresponds to the relevant id used in Fixtures)
The problem is that in some of my code i want to display records using sql and sometimes in the where clause i use the following:
WHERE Fixtures.GameDate<=(Date())
obviously meaning WHERE GAMEDATE is LESS THAN or EQUAL to TODAY.
The thing is when i use the join it does not use the where clause and displays all of the records in the FIXTURES table.
Does any one know how to get around this, i have not received any error messages it just isnt displaying the right data
Im comparing values in a field while doing a loop if sAct<>myData(5,i) then At the end of the loop I make the value of sAct equal the current myData
This will work when comparing other fields withing my recordset (so I know the statement works) but it will not work for the field I want to compare. The only difference with this field is that it has null values. Could this be the problem? if so, how do I deal with nulls?
I have a input form with 5 fields. One of the fields is MajorNo and the other is named Description.
I have a reference table in my MS Access database (tblMajor)that lists the major numbers and their descriptions.
I would like to have the description field in my ASP automatically filled based on the major number entered on the form, so the user will only need to input the major number when submitting to the Access table (tblSalesTotal).
I am trying to pass a hidden field value on a form into another field on the
form so that it can then be inserted in the database, to enable me then to
reference that number at a later date.
(The hidden value (1 for example) would then automatically get passed to the
other input field.)
The code for the text field that allows users to type an number into it for
submission to the db is below, but what code do i need within the hidden
field to populate this text field below so that users do not have to type the
number in? Code:
