I use Webmatrix together with Frontpage 2002.
In one of my Webmatrix pages I refer to a field "Prénom" when doing queries.
Sometimes after publishing these pages from my local to my hosted server the é disappears in the source code and SQL server does not find the column.
I have the feeling it has to do with codepage and/or Content.
Has anyone a precise idea.
In my application I must store over 16000 character in a sql table field . When I split into more than 1 field it gives "unclosed quotation mark" message.
How can I store over 16000 characters to sql table field (only one field) with language specific characters?
Thanks
Hi everybody,
I would like to know if there is any property in sql2000 database to separate lowercase characters from uppercase characters. I mean not to take the values €˜child€™ and €˜Child€™ as to be the same. We are transferring our ingres database into sqlserver. In ingres we have these values but we consider them as different values. Can we have it in sqlserver too?

Hello!
We are trying to build a FAQ in a SQL database that will be updateble trough the web.
Now to the questione:
We can't use more than 255 characters, in Books Online it says that char and varchar supports 1 to 8000 characters but it doesn't work for us.
Anyone knows why?
I have a column with data type of text.
Some values are 5 digits long, and other characters are 6 digits long.
I want to write a query that adds a '0' to the end of the values that only have 5 digits...
How would my syntax look like ?
thank you
I have a field oh phone numbers that had no specific format. I have removed all of the previous formatting so know there are just a string of 10 numbers and I want them all to change to "(###) ###-####". Is there an SQL statement that I can use to update the field in a batch process. Any help would be great. I also have linked the tables to an access db, if that makes it easier. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
Hi,
I am Suhasini. While saving data from front end(Asp.net) to back end(Sql server 2005 express edition) i am getting junk characters also added to the database. This character just look like a checkbox. Basically i am adding options using a multiline text box, is there any thing wrong with that. options are saved in the database as junk character followed by option1...... etc. Kindly suggest me on this.
Hi,
I have a varchar(10) field in one of the sql2005 table. most of the data will be in the format of
xxxxx{yyyyy}
zzzz{eeeeee}
like above values i am storing into the column. Now i want to use only the value which is inside the brackets { }. Values inside the brackets are not fixed length but allways we use the brackets.
Please let me know if you have any idea.
I tried using the right(value,4).,.. but this is only for the fixed size. but like i said my situation is different length.please let me know if you have any idea.
Thank

Ok.. I inhertited a program that has columns called cpt_codes, cpt_to, and cpt_from all of them are varchar fields. The user can input a cpt code and the program checks to see if it fall between cpt_to and cpt_from so00101 would fall betwen 00100 and 00110. The problem these are varchars so the user has a code 0024t and is pulling up between 00100 and 01999 which is techinically correct. However thats not where it's supposed to be. Is there a way to get around this? the sql statement currently in place is:SELECT * fROM CPT_TOS WHERE CPT_FROM <= '0024T' AND CPT_TO >= '0024T'*Not my sql statement or design!!" ThanksRobert.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI must be doing something wrong, but I cannot imagine what it could be. I made a brand new table and started to enter some data. I am putting the initail data in using Enterprise Manager. This is essentially test data for development. I have several varchar columns set to 8000 for their size. When I try to enter text into them it is getting truncated at 999 characters. I thought that maybe I misunderstood the varchar type and that 1000 characters is 8000 bits and that is what the 8000 means. So, I redid the table with the datatype "text" for my long columns. Same thing. It is being truncated at 999. Is there something I am missing here? I am not trying to do anything tricky or confusing, I am simply trying to put more than 1000 characters into a table column.I should mention that I have been pasting the text that is copied from Notepad (to remove any extranous formatting). The text cuts cut off and I cannot even type in the column after that.Any clues would really be appreciated.

Previously I had a problem inserting symbols like an umlaut into a SQL7 DB. The umlaut symbol like in the name [Björk] was translated into [Bj÷rk] when the data was bcp'd in. I was able to solve this problem by changing the registry codepage setting for the "OEMCP" from '437' to '1252'.
Fine...but now i have problems with symbols like [é] in the name [Mel Tormé]. The [é] on [Tormé] is changing to [T].....[Mel TormT].
Is there any way of accomidating SQL7 to allow both types of symbols?
thanks for the help...
We just upgraded to SQL 7.0 SP2. We enlarged one of our fields from varchar(255) to varchar(500), but when I do a SELECT on the field it only brings back 255. I know this was a limitation in ISQL in 6.5. I tried it in query analyzer and also via a command line. Any ideas how to see all the data?
Thanks
I've created a procedure that converts chracters that I don't want in a certain field in my db.
The problems is: it also converts characters that I haven't specified
For example: the letter y is converted to u (probably because the letter ü (german y) is to be converted to u (ü is pronounced as y)).
Does anyone have a solution for this ? Has soundex something to do with this ?

Carl Nilsson
Here's a sample of the script:
--script begin
CREATE proc bds_convert_names @pass_name varchar(100), @NameStr varchar(100) OUTPUT
as
DECLARE @NotAllowed varchar(100)
DECLARE @IsAllowed varchar(100)
DECLARE @OldChar char(1)
DECLARE @NewChar char(1)
DECLARE @Loop int
-- NAMESTR = Contains the string that should be translated.
SELECT @NameStr = @pass_name
-- Set the name to Lower Cases
SELECT @NameStr = LOWER(@NameStr)
-- Set the characters not allowed
SELECT @NotAllowed = '/:*?"<>|,åäöéèáàûüôî'
-- Set which characters that should replace them
SELECT @IsAllowed = '**********aaoeeaauuoi'
-- Set Loop start to zero
SELECT @Loop = 0
-- Start looping, char by char, replacing direct into NAMESTR
WHILE @Loop < LEN(@NotAllowed)
BEGIN
SELECT @Loop = @Loop + 1
SELECT @OldChar = SUBSTRING(@NotAllowed, @Loop, 1)
SELECT @NewChar = SUBSTRING(@IsAllowed, @Loop, 1)
SELECT @NameStr = REPLACE(@NameStr, @OldChar, @NewChar)
END
-- Remove all stars
SELECT @NameStr = REPLACE(@NameStr, '*', '')

Hi all,
this might be a very simple query for most of you guys.
What I need help in is that I need to find out records that have a specific number of character within it. For example if a field is 8 char long but there are records that are 3 char long or 4 char long, I need to find those records.
Any help is appreciated

Hello all,
I have a table named users. It consists of user names, user ids, etc... The problem is that whoever designed the ASP code before me allowed people to enter info in any format they want. This poses a problem because now the name can have 1, 2, or sometimes 3 spaces in between the last and first names. And sometimes the middle initial is used with a period following it. This creates problems when I am trying to execute a Select statement since it won't match if there are an unknown number of spaces in the string and throws an error when a period is used.
Is there a SQL query I can execute to change all the user_names into a format such as the following:
LastName, FirstName MiddleInitial
Like I said, it is already almost the same, just has too many spaces and some have periods after the middle initial
Hello everyone. I have a query where I pull all item_codes that start with a 7. I need all the item_codes that start with 7, but I need to subtract the last 3 characters from only the item_codes that are not 71860kit or 71851nggun. How would I be able to accomplish this. What I have below subtracts the last 3 characters from all item_codes including 71860kit and 71851nggun. I want these two to stay in tact when I select them in the query.
This is the Query that I have now!
select datepart(year, date_cust_invoice)as INV_YEAR,
datepart(month, date_cust_invoice)as INV_MONTH,
item_code=left(item_code, len(item_code)-3)
, sum(QTY_SALES)as QTY_SALES_TOTALS, sum(SALES_VAL)as SALES_VAL_TOTALS
from opcsahf
where datepart(year, date_cust_invoice) >= '2003'
and substring(item_code, 1, 1) = '7'
group by datepart(year, date_cust_invoice), datepart(month, date_cust_invoice),
item_code
order by inv_year, inv_month, item_code
All help is appreciated!
Can anyone tell me how I can strip certain chahrcters from a string
I know I can use replace, but i don't think this is appropriate for what I want to do
For example I have the string
declare @text varchar (100)
select @text = 'word1, word2 & word3'
if i do a replace on the string like this
select @text = 'replace(@text, ',', '')
select @text = 'replace(@text, '&', '')
I end up with the string
select @text = 'word1 word2 word3'
i.e. 2 spaces between word2 and word3
What i want the string to look like is :
select @text = 'word1 word2 word3'
Is there a way i can check for more than one space + characters ( / , &) in one go
many thanks

Does anyone know a function in SQL or how I can get the amount of characters of a field?
I have a column named NU_IPS wich contains data varchar type, that has a % symbol at the end, like 9.7% and so on... But in original table it can't be like this (it has to bem float type), I just want the number content, like this 9.7 For that I need in DTS put a query that convert it. That's why I need a function or something that can get the quantity of characters of each field.
So, It would be someting like this...
select substring(convert(varchar(getSizeField() - 1), nu_ipi), 1, 4) from dbo.t_STAGEAREACHAIR
It would cut always the last caracter, wich is '%'...
Any clues?

I want to strip off the last three characters from an item number. The only thing is tht every item number is not the same lenght. The last three characters of this number are packing codes that I do not need. Fore example I can have all these numbers:
EFJ50701033
EFW1546066
RFM4925156
70561033
89541899
How would I remove the last three characters and only remain with whatever is in front of those three characters?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Data in the table appearing with strange characters [probably unicode]. For instance obeserve the string [marked in red color] "Rod. Anhang�era s/n§".
When I export the same to excel and apply language as portuguese it shows properly. The actual portuguese languguage has ascents in the sentence.
This where the problem is seen.
I wanted to display them back in normal form could please suggest me the best possible way to cast such characters.
Thanks in advance for looking into this issue.
Thanks,
Niranjan.

View 7 Replies View RelatedHi,We are developing a small web interface to a local ERP software, whichuses SQL Server 2000 as database. The database uses SQL_Latin1_CP1collation, and the fields are varchar (not nvarchar), however, the mainprogram inserts and reads non-English (Turkish) characters into thesecolumns. However, when we connect to database with ADO.NET, thesecharacters are not read correctly. (The situation is same when I checktables with Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer)In a past situation (which was about a Win32 application), I have heardabout character conversion behaviour of ADO (and many other DBlibraries) and solved that problem using BDE instead of ADO, so thatthe connection is made via DB-Library instead of OLEDB.But this way cannot be applied to my ASP.NET situation, and there is NOway to change database collation. Must I use a ADO.NET property, or useanother provider, or maybe another library? Any advices? Thanks...
