All Text Fields Truncated To 255 Chars

Jun 25, 2006

Hi

I defined the following table in MSSQL 2000

sql Code:

Original
- sql Code

CREATE TABLE saved_query (
id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
query_text VARCHAR(2048) NOT NULL
)

CREATE TABLE saved_query ( id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL, query_text VARCHAR(2048) NOT NULL)

and whenever I insert or update the query_text field, it's always truncated to 255 characters. Why? I clearly specified a larger field size. I also tried defining query_text as a "TEXT" but got the same result.

Thanks for any help

SQL Server 2K Truncating Text Fields At 255 Chars

Jul 20, 2005

I'm running SQL Server 2K (sp3a) and when I run the following query (inquery analyzer):SELECT id, LEN(ForeignWord) as Length, ForeignWordFROM WordsWHERE Language ='Thai' and LEN(ForeignWord) > 300ORDER BY Length descI receive the following results:id Length ForeignWord------- ----------- -----------34756 445 เ&#35...truncated at 25534839 412 เ&#36...truncated at 25537613 350 โ&#35...truncated at 25537808 315 โ&#35...truncated at 25538140 315 โ&#35...truncated at 255(The ForeignWord field is defined as varchar(1000))Note that even though the server says that the lengths are in excess of255 characters, the results are all truncated at 255 characters.I read that SQL Server 6.5 and 7.0 had some issues related to nativeaccess versus OleDb or ODBC, but this is Server 2K patched with thelatest updates.Any idea why my varchar fields are being truncated?-- RickHere is my table definition:CREATE TABLE [Words] ([ID] [bigint] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,[Language] [varchar] (50) NOT NULL ,[Module] [int] NOT NULL ,[Lesson] [int] NOT NULL ,[EnglishWord] [varchar] (1000) NOT NULL ,[ForeignWord] [varchar] (1000) NOT NULL ,[Note] [varchar] (2000) NULL ,[Military] [tinyint] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Table1_Military]DEFAULT (0),[Supplemental] [tinyint] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Table1_Supplemental] DEFAULT (0),[SoundFileName] [varchar] (1000) NULL)

DTS: Large Text Fields Truncated

Oct 11, 2000

Hi:

I'm trying to transfer a table from SQL Server 7 database to another SQL server 7 database on
another server. This table has a text field with lots of data (~.5-1 G). I'm using the export wizard
and the transfer appears to complete successfully, but when I view it, the text field data has
been truncated.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Nicole Lane

Ntext Over 4000 Chars Causes 'Data In Row (n) Was Not Update... String Or Binary Data Would Be Truncated...'

Oct 18, 2006

When I enter over 4000 chars in any ntext field in my SQL Server 2005 database (directly in the database and through the application) I get an error saying that the data could not be updated because string or binary data would be truncated.Has anyone ever seen this? I cannot figure out what is causing it, ntext should be able to hold a lot more data that this...

Displaying Fields Greater Than 255 Chars

Apr 29, 2001

I have a column of varchar(2000) but when I use it in a select statement I only get the first 255 characters displayed. (all the data is there as I can see different parts using substring) How do I get the complete column to display?

Cannot Compare NVarChar(Max) Fields Over 4000 Chars

Oct 24, 2006

I had a post a week or so ago with this issue, I found the cause, but cannot figure out how to fix it... The problem is the comparison on the NVarChar(Max) fields when one of them exceeds 4000 chars. If I comment out the following lines of the stored proc, everything works. I tested without using COALESCE and it still does not work. COALESCE(Comments, '') = COALESCE(@o_Comments, '') ANDCOALESCE(SpecialNotes, '') = COALESCE(@o_SpecialNotes, '') ANDCOALESCE(IAppComments, '') = COALESCE(@o_IAppComments, '') ANDCOALESCE(MgmtNotes, '') = COALESCE(@o_MgmtNotes, '') AND set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

Excel Destination Errors For Fields &&> 255 Chars

Apr 13, 2007

Hi:

Am trying to write sql2005 data to Excel. I have problems when data length exceeds 255 chars. I used a sample destination file with cells containing >255 chars where required, so that the Excel Destination external column was recognized as DT_Text.

My oledb source columns(external and output) are both varchar (1000).

Works fine , but fails when values>255 chars.

Error 0xC0202009 on ProcessInput.

I use SQL2005 enterprise SP2.

I tried changing the Oledb source output to Textstream, but that does not work at all.

How do I export values >255 chars to excel?

TIA

Kar

Hi!

In the results of our queries, the datas in the fields are truncated to 255 chars.

Is there a parameter to change to get the entire field? Their format is varchar 8000 and the fields are longer than 255 characters in the db.

Thanks for your help.

Help - Still Trying To Insert 255+ Chars Into Text

Jun 7, 1999

How do you insert more than 255 characters into a text field? or am I using READTEXT and DATALENGTH incorrectly?

I am trying to concatenate two 255 varchar strings. Both do have 255 characters of data.
I want to insert the concatenated strings into a field define as a text data type.
if I try to ' insert into tempTbl(textFieldDataType) values (@text1+@text2) it appears only the @text1 is inserted.
I have been told the data is really there, but I can only read the 256 position + with READTEXT.

DECLARE @textptr varbinary(16)
select @textptr = (select TEXTPTR(textFieldDataType) from tempTbl where pktempTbl = 33)
READTEXT tempTbl.textFieldDataType @textPtr 255 10

This should have read 10 text positions after the 255th position. However, I get msg
Msg 7124, Level 16, State 1
The offset and length specified in the READTEXT command is greater than the actual data length of 255.

If I use the datalength function, it appears to confirm that @text2 was never inserted

declare @length int
select @length = (select datalength(textFieldDataTypet) from tempTbl where pktempTbl = 33)
select @length

@length is returned as 255

Concatenated Long Varchar Fields Are Getting Truncated

Mar 30, 2004

(I'm using MS SQL 2000)

I've two tables that I've made from some query subsets. Each table has a varchar field with notes/memos and I want to concatenate the fields into one long field.

The problem I'm running into is that when I run the query to check the concatenation, the field is truncated maybe 256 chars in.

I tried converting and casting the field as nvarchar 4000, and I've also done the same for the fields in the two tables, but that doesn't seem to help.

I can query for the fields from each table and none of them are truncated by themselves. It only happens after I concatenate them.

I've created a new table and inserted the results into it, but the field in it is also truncated.

Am I missing something obvious here?

Can You Parse Out A Text String &> 8000 Chars Long??

Mar 30, 2005

Any way to parse out a text value (not varChar, using text data type) that is > than 8000 characters long? I'm looping through 1 big string passed to the DB that is pipe delimited, but I find myself needing the substring function to keep track of which segment I'm acting on (after an update, I then need to take that segment and remove it from the string)...but the subString function won't take anything larger than 8000 chars.

Say I have this string that is text data type...

'aaa|bbb|ccc|ddd|....'

..and so on, surpassing 8000 char length, how could you parse it out using the pipes as the delimter, then do an Update using that segment? Afterward, return to that string and find the next segment, then use it, and so on (in a loop). I tried using an update to set the string = replace(string, segmentJustUsed, '') to "erase" it, but replace can't take text as the datatype. Any help? Hope this isn't to confusing.

Syscomments Table Text Field Does Not Allow More Than 8060 Chars

Oct 18, 2006

Hello,

I have a table in SQL Server 2000 which has few triggers. When I try to update a record in that table, I get following message:

Warning: The table '[TABLE_NAME]' has been created but its maximum row size (17275) exceeds the maximum number of bytes per row (8060). INSERT or UPDATE of a row in this table will fail if the resulting row length exceeds 8060 bytes.

where the data I am updating is well less than the field limit. The triggers are stored in syscomments table and when I dropped these triggers, the update statements were executed without this message. Is there anyway I can change the data type of field text in syscomments from nvarchar to ntext?

Thanks
Din

Full-text Ignores Special Chars In Sql 2005

We had a sql 2000 db that had full text implemented on it. We upgrade that server to a 2005 server and now the full text searches that once worked don't. Most do work just the ones with ; or special characters in the query string don't work.

Anyone have the same behavior and how to get it to wrok again?

Touble With Text Being Truncated

Jan 20, 2007

I am trying to send a large string to my table where I have typed the field as "text". The data is truncated ( I am only sending about 5kb and it is being truncated to about 4kb). I am using SQL 2000.
My web page is classic.asp and I am sending a parameterized query to my stored procedure.
This is the relevelant code for the parameter I'm sending:
objCmd.Parameters.Append = objCmd.CreateParameter("@PostBody",adLongVarChar,adParamInput,20000,PostBody)

This is the typing in my stored proc: @PostBody text,

I can either INSERT or UPDATE using Query Analyzer and the data is NOT truncated.

Wondering if it was my parameterized query that was causing me trouble, I rewrote the code to send the SQL upfront (skipping the stored proc), and the calling the stored proc from my .asp page passing in the parameters in a string. All three ways are truncating the data.

I have isolated that the truncation is happening on the way in, not on the way out.

Because I can successfully insert/update with QA, I'm wondering if there is some IIS issue that is causing the truncation. But I don't manage our IIS server so I really don't know much about that end of things.

I have been researching this issue for two days with no luck. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

Text Truncated On INSERT (urgent)

Mar 14, 2006

Hi,Question: Why is INSERT of a string having 8000+ characters causing truncation in a TEXT field?We are working on a website for a client, and one of their CMS-driven pages contains more than 8000 chars for its content. The database field was originally TEXT datatype at the default size, but the content was getting truncated upon INSERT. So I looked into why this was happening, tried many things including: 1. Executing: EXEC sp_tableoption 'section', 'text in row', '7000'2. Changing datatype from TEXT to VARCHAR(8000). (of course this truncated at 8000).And this truncation still occurring. This is happening on SQL Server 2000 installed and configured on our client's server. The servers we host don't have this problem, and we have even tested the INSERT on our server and it does not truncate. So why is it truncating only on our client's Sql Server? Is there some kind of default configuration setting that limits the allowable length?I'm not intimately familiar with the large BLOB datatypes, and haven't really needed to deal with this issue before now. Now the client is upset about the limitation and does not wish to copy edit the content for their webpage. This is an urgent matter. I need to figure out the problem within a few hours today (it is morning in Europe on Tuesday 14 mar 2006 right now). Thanks in advance.UPDATE: I HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUE. THE PROBLEM WAS A RESTRICTION IN THE STORED PROCEDURE INPUT VARIABLE DECLARATION -- WAS TRUNCATING AT 8000 CHARACTERS.

TSQL - Select First 3 Chars Where Not Special Chars

Feb 5, 2002

Say I have a column called 'NAME' in a table called 'CLIENT' and the values in NAME are Surnames or company names like:

NAME
----------------------
1-FOR-ALL
A.B. SMITH (TOOLS LTD)
BROWN
THOMSON
VW CAR SALES

I want my select to return the first 3 characters, excluding special characters (only characters between 1 and z).

In example, the following would be returned for the data above:

NAME
----------------------
1FO
ABS
BRO
THO
VWC

Select Returs Truncated Text Data...

May 11, 2007

Hello,

I have a table with the following structure for which I execute a SELECT statment against to retrieve the value of a particular NoteText field. Every time I execute the select the Notes are truncated in the returned recordset and I cannot get it to return the full value. I have tried various options, Cast/Convert, Set TEXTSIZE, etc but to no avail. Advice?

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SOOrderNote_T] (
[SOOrderNote_TSK] [int] NOT NULL ,
[SOOrder_TSK] [int] NOT NULL ,
[PXNoteTypeSK] [int] NOT NULL ,
[NoteText] [text] COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL
) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]

--My Select which returns truncated notes
Select NoteText From SOOrderNote_T where SOOrder_TSK = XYZ

Thanks in advance!

Text Was Truncated Every Time I Try To Import From Excel

Mar 25, 2008

Like the title says.. I am trying to import an Excel 2000 spreadsheet to SQL Server to do some manipulations/aggregations. The Excel file has several cells with long text (detailed product descriptions) in them. Since this is a quick Import/Export I am using the Wizard rather than the SSIS Designer. I specify the value of the field as being varchar(max), and this is confirmed by the Edit SQL button. However, every time I try to run it I get an error on the Details column, stating that "Text was truncated". I have tried changing it from varchar(max) to text (and also tried nvarchar(max) and ntext) but still get the same error. What the heck am I doing wrong? I cannot just get rid of the column in question because we need its contents. Is this some issue with Excel and not SQL Server? If so, is there any way to fix it?

Text Was Truncated Or One Or More Characters Had No Match In The Target Code Page

May 13, 2008

Hi,

I am tryin to run an SSIS package from an Excel Spreadsheet to MS SQL Server 2005.

I receive the error: Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page (full report is below).

I found this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2562259&SiteID=1
and have set the destination column to nvarchar(max), and I have also set the TruncationRowDisposition = RD_IgnoreFailure on the destination column, with no luck.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Text Was Truncated Or One Or More Characters Had No Match In The Target Code Page..

Oct 17, 2007

Hi,

I have tried to extract data from Pervasive SQL into MS SQL Server using DTS. Due to the server has been set as Chinese language region, the MS SQL is also set as 'Chines_PRC_CI_AS' by default. After the successful extraction and transfer, I have exported the data out to Excel format. Due to different location, I have copy and transfer the data into another reporting server which is having MS SQL 2005.

When trying to import the data into the server, it prompted an error '[Data Conversion 1 [168]] Error: Data conversion failed while converting column "DESC" (166) to column "Copy of DESC" (187). The conversion returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.". '. After checking and finding, I found it was due to the chinese characters that are contained inside the data files.

I have tried to change the collation setting inside MS SQL 2005 with the same setting as the MS SQL 2000, but it still not working. Please help and advice.

Thank you and cheers.

Best regards,
Francis

Adding A Full Text Search Across Multiple Tables (with Text Fields)

Sep 7, 2007

Hi, i'm trying to do a full text search on my site to add a weighting score to my results. I have the following database structure:
Documents: - DocumentID (int, PK) - Title (varchar) - Content (text) - CategoryID (int, FK)
Categories: - CategoryID (int, PK) - CategoryName (varchar)
I need to create a full text index which searches the Title, Content and CategoryName fields. I figured since i needed to search the CategoryName field i would create an indexed view. I tried to execute the following query:
CREATE VIEW vw_DocumentsWITH SCHEMABINDING ASSELECT dbo.Documents.DocumentID, dbo.Documents.Title, dbo.Documents.[Content], dbo.Documents.CategoryID, dbo.Categories.CategoryNameFROM dbo.Categories INNER JOIN dbo.Documents ON dbo.Categories.CategoryID = dbo.Documents.CategoryID
GOCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX vw_DocumentsIndexON vw_Documents(DocumentID)
But this gave me the error:
Cannot create index on view 'dbname.dbo.vw_Documents'. It contains text, ntext, image or xml columns.
I tried converting the Content to a varchar(max) within my view but it still didn't like.
Appreciate if someone can tell me how this can be done as surely what i'm trying to do is not ground breaking.

Truncation Error: 255 Chars To 2 Chars.

Aug 27, 2007

Hi,

I am very new to using SSIS.

Trying to import data from MS Access 2000.

I receive the error "
[OLE DB Destination [1907]] Warning: Truncation may occur due to inserting data from data flow column "GENDER" with a length of 255 to database column "GENDER" with a length of 2. " on the source flow.

I have done some googling and came up with this post: http://torontosql.dotnetnuke-portal.com/Default.aspx?tabid=32233 which I thought may help, but it does not.

The query against the access datasource features the column: iif([sex]=1, 'm', 'f'). I tried using left(..., 2) as well, but SSIS is determind to treat the field as 255 characters for some reason.

I don't even particualrly care that the field is 255 chars and the sources is only two, I just want the data in! I have other fields coming up with similar error.

Can someone please advise?

PS, what is th significance of the "External Columns" Vs "Output Columns" on the Input and Output Properties tab in Advanced Editor?

I am really struggling with SSIS, it is not as intuitive as DTS.

Replace Text In Text, Char && Varchar Fields All At Once?

Jan 22, 2008

I have followed many tutorials on selecting and replacing text in text fields, varchar fields and char fields, but I have yet to find a single script that will to all 3 based on field type. Let's assume for a moment that I don't know where all in my database a certain value that I need changed resides ... i.e., the data's tablename and fieldname. How would I go about doing the following ... or more importantly, is this even possible in a SQL only procedure?1) Loop over entire database and get all user tables2) Loop over all user tables and get all fields3) Loop over all fields and determine the field type4) switch between field types and change a string of text from 'a' to 'b'Please be gentle, I'm a procedure newb.

Integration Services :: Text Was Truncated Or One Or More Characters Had No Match In Target Code Page

Aug 11, 2015

I'm trying to import data in Excel into SQL Server table which you would think would be an absolute doddle seeing as they're both key Microsoft products in the BI family..One of the columns in Excel spreadsheet is Comments1 and a couple of the values in this column are over 300 characters in length yet when I set up the Excel source and then open Advanced Editor and look at Input and output properties this column has a data-type of Unicode string [DT_WSTR] with length of 255 which leads to the truncated error in the title.

I've researched this and on find going into the registry and updating the TypeGuessRows value from 8 to zero. I've done this and yet the data-type is still showing as Unicode string [DT_WSTR] with length of 255. I've even moved the row with the largest number of characters to the top of the spreadsheet and changed the TypeGuessRows value to 1 but the data-type still stays the same.I can't believe that it's soooo difficult to import data from one of Microsoft's key BI applications to another using their 'world-class' integration tool.

SQL Server/ Text Fields - Cannot Add Free Text

Sep 25, 2007

I have a data table in my project that has a "text" (not varchar) field in it. I am trying to load this field with little paragraphs of text for showing on my pages. How do I get the free text loaded into the table? The database explorer and all the data grid controls cut the text off at one line. There doesn't seem to be any way to get multiline text into this table.

Data Conversion Failed. The Data Conversion For Column Value Returned Status Value 4 And Status Text Text Was Truncated Or On

Jan 7, 2008

Hi Experts,

I am extracting data from SQL Server 2005 to flat file destination. I am using SQL Command to specify the data selection query. One of my query uses Replicate function to derive a column value. When I execute this package it fails with the error "Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "value" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page".

The reason for the problem is that, it is taking the InputColumnWidth of the flat file destination as 8000 and I specified the OutputColumnWidth as 4.

If I change the OutputColumnWidth to 8000, it is working without any error but resulting in the column width of 8000.

I tried using DerivedColumn Transformation's Type cast and DataConversion Transformation but still I am getting the same error in the respective Transformation components.

Can anyone suggest how to solve this issue.

Text Fields In Sp_makewebtask

Mar 2, 1999

Hey everyone,

using SQL 6.5 sp_makewebtask in a stored procedure I want to create a
press-info file.
My query calls four fields, a datum field, two varchar fields and a text
field, it's
the field "PrText" in my example:

EXEC sp_makewebtask @outputfile='F:EntwicklungRedaktionZeitwenden27.ht m',
@query='SELECT Datum, Ort, Headline, PrText
FROM news
WHERE ID = 27',
@templatefile='F:EntwicklungRedaktionZeitwendenTem plates.htm'

My question: Am I limited to 255 characters in this case? After 255
characters the text is cut off and
I have only a truncated text fragment.

Is there a possibility to get the whole text without using @blobfmt (I don't
want to use this parameter because
I want to have the datum data, the varchar headline AND the text in ONE
HTML-file.)

I have tried the same as dynamic query in ASP where I have no problem to get
the whole content of the text field, but I want
to create a static file because this information will be read often, but
won't be updated frequently
and I don't want to charge the server resources to much.

Has anybody an idea? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You

Dorothee Wiethoff
