Hi all,
The command is as follows:
BCP asdos+_reports..StageCONTACTINFO OUT C:16E8.tmp -w -b10000 -t"|" -r
-Sblrkec28791dsqlserver -Uadmin -Padmin -eC:ERRCONTACTINFO.txt
Here, since the first argument(database name) has a special char '+' in
it, the command gives a syntax error. How can i escape it? Double quotes"",
[] didnt work!! Pls help!
TIA
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

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?
thanks
Do somebody know how long (in chars) script(command) can be solved by SQL Command?

I have some sql below..
SELECT
t.Doctor, t.LedgerAmount, t.TransactionDate,
ISNULL(lg.LedgerGrpDesc, 'No Sales Group') AS LedgerGroup
FROM
Transactions t
LEFT OUTER JOIN LedgerGroups lg ON t.LedgerDescription = lg.dbLedgerDesc
[Code] .....
My problem is that the data in t.LedgerDescription sometimes now has either leading/trailing white space or more likely special chars so the join against lg.dbLedgerDesc doesn't always work.
I can't change the source of the data to strip out special chars/white space so am stuck on how to deal with it.
I tried using LTRIM & RTRIM in the where clause but this doesn't seem to have had any effect...
LEFT OUTER JOIN LedgerGroups lg ON LTRIM(RTRIM(t.LedgerDescription)) = lg.dbLedgerDesc

Does any know of a technique to filter out headers dashes and row count in an output file of an isql result? These switches seem to be available when running as isql/w, but not the command line. The -h-1 argument for no headers had no effect. Thanks in advance. Ron Hurley
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am passing some /SET commands on the command line when I execute packages I created in SSIS and have run from the SQL Server Job manager. When I put these same /SET commands on the command line arguments section of the project properties page I would expect they would be passed into the executed package when it is run thru BIDS. But the variables still have their defined values when the packages executes.
Is there a trick to getting command line arguments to work in the debugger for SSIS/BIDS??

Hi all,Is it possible to pass command line arguments to a package when running it from within VS? I want to set the value of a variable via the commandline, and found that you can to this in DtExec with the "/set Package.Variables[...].Value;..." syntax. According to the docs, you should be able to pass the same argument via the 'CmdLineArguments' property in the 'Properties' dialog of an SSIS project in VS (CmdLineArguments. Run the package with the specified command-line arguments. For information about command-line arguments, see dtexec Utility), but unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work (even though the exact same argument does work when entered in DtExec)
Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

Hi!
I wanted to execute an update command in T-SQL using some special characters like single quote ('). when i try with this it fails to accept the command. For example the text which i wanted to update is something like this "<Choice index="3" value="Don't know"/>", here i have a single quote('), less/greater than signs (<>), double quotes and forward slash (/). when i try with this type of text it fails to update, the field data type is NChar. I need help on how to successfully execute with this type of data.
Need help.

Hi All
I have loaded some data to the application using flat files
which has non english chars.
all the columns in the database are NVARCHAR type.
but in db and in application UI, the non english chars are being diplayed as junk chars. ???121
The application supports UTF-8 format
is there any setting at db level to be modified to display the non english char set as is.
Thanks
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.
I have a field name call firstname and other field middleinit, now the table contains data. and i want to extract data, the firstname field sometimes contains the middle initial, for for example JOHH D.
now I would like to set the firstname field with JOHN only and and set the middleinit field like D only
thanks

I have an overloaded method in my data access layer that I use to load the parameters into a command object. One of these overloaded methods is as follows:
public void LoadSqlParameter(string name, string value, ParameterDirection direction){ param = new SqlParameter(); param.ParameterName = name; param.Value = value; param.Direction = direction;
param.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.VarChar;
cmd.Parameters.Add(param);}
Will using a SqlDbType of VarChar cause me any problems if the actual parameter in the stored procedure is a Char?
Am I better off leaving out the line that specifies the type?
Thanks
Hi,
I have a problem with a text string which is more than 8000 chars.
I am taking this string as an input from an application.so,I cannot define a local variable as text or ntext and varchar has limitation of only 8000 char.
Can anyone help me in dealing with this situation.
Also,I cannot break the string at application level.I wish if I could solve it at db level somehow?
TIA

In a query Analyser, there is a provision to change the "Maximum characters per column 256 " to our size in advanced option.
It works ok.
We are using VisualInterdev for developing ASP's -- there
thro ADO - we are getting the rows from sql server 7.0 -- there data more than
256 characters are truncated.
How will i get the actual data ?.. where i can do the settings..?

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
Hi
I am trying to get the domain name of the server running this instance of SQL server 2000 using xp_loginconfig but have been getting some very strange results. The code example below shows the problem quite nicely. Basically the output shows white space of some sort before the "/HelloWorld" in the second select.
Any ideas why? and how to get rid of it. I've tried using RTRIM() but that made no difference.
On some server instances I dont even see the "/HelloWorld" perhaps it's put in a new line char or something like that.
Thanks
Christian
create table #tmp (ConfigName varchar(100) null, ConfigValue varchar(100) null)

drop table #tmp

What's the maximum number of characters that varchar field will take? I read somewhere that it's 8k, but I may have misunderstood.
I have to potentially store 100k+ chars in a field.
What's the best way to do this?

Hi all,I have a variable called Description which is set from a database field - How do i set another variable to grab the first 200 chars from this var?
hope this makes sense
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?
