I exporting a table of comments. There are some line returns in the comments. Some of these data are paragraphs of data! For some reason, when I am exporting the data, it treats the line return within the comment column as a new record. I am using a -c character data type so
(newline character) is the row terminator. How do I get the BCP OUT to ignore a newline character within a record?
For example:
ID~Comment
-- -------
1~This is a comment
2~Hi,how are (user hit carriage)
you (you is part of next row in bcp out)
3~Next record
I am comparing two fields one from our legacy table and one in our new table structure that should have identical text data. The new field has an assortment of ANSI characters where the legacy data did not have these. Is there anything I can do that will ignore all ansi character differences? The only route I can think of is just do a replace on each ANSI type on the new column but there are quite a few character types.
I need to pull address info and need to match customername from a spreadsheet. Due to bad design, in our database instead of having a 'status' for the customer, they just added ' - ACCOUNT CANCELLED' to the customername
Hello, I have data in a database table that has newline data in it. It has a newline character in front of the text of the data, and for some reason, I can't figure out how I can replace it. I've tried entering in a return character between '' and I've tried trimming the text... How do I represent a newline character to remove it from the text? Thanks.
I have a script to be used to backup a specific table in a weekly basis, here is the approach what I take:
1. script the source table's schema to a create 2. the new script:
If not exists (select * from sysobjects where name='EventlogHistory' and xtype='U') CREATE TABLE [dbo].[EventlogHistory]( [LogID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [ProjectID] [int] NOT NULL, [Description] [nvarchar](max) NOT NULL, [EventType] [varchar](10) NOT NULL, [IP] [varchar](50) NOT NULL, [UserLogon] [varchar](30) NOT NULL, [CreatedOn] [datetime] NOT NULL, ArchivedOn datetime default getdate()) insert into EventlogHistory
It throws me the error message saying "String or binary data would be truncated" which is nonsense to me, I need to let sql ignore the error, it is ridiculous to do a max(len()) to find out as it should never happen, right?
Data flow A take data from the Excel File A, Data B from Excel File B, Data C from Excel File C. What I'd like to do is that if something goes wrong on Data Flow A I would be alerted but the package should continue to running. The same for the DataFlow B, if A it's ok go on, if B fail send me the mail but continue until the end (so running the Data Flow C).
Hi everyone!I'm be stuck by a simple issue about newline in C# and has relative with SQL. I wrote a SQL sentence like that: IF EXISTS(SELECT NAME FROM SYSOBJECTS WHERE NAME = 'TG1' AND TYPE = 'TR')" + " DROP TRIGGER TG1" + " GO " + " CREATE TRIGGER TG1 ON FILES FOR DELETE AS DELETE table1 FROM" + " table1 INNER JOIN DELETED ON DELETED.ID = table1.ID" + " GO " + " DELETE FROM table2 WHERE ID = 'ID00001'It's executing ok in SQL but when execute programming then " GO " have to break newline ( or System.Environment.NewLine), However seem have not mean for SQL Execute becoz will be appear in SQL sentence. I'm not have experience about GO and TRIGGER so have any idea for this problem! Thanks so much.
I have a SQL 2005 stored procedure to generate an email when passed parameters such as receipient, subject etc One of the paramteres passed to it is @body which is the body text of the message. I want to be able to add a couple of blank lines and then some footer information. This is working right now except I can't find the right way to add newlines into the string within the store procedure, so my footer information just tags right on after the bodytext. I have tried but that literally adds the two characters and n Can anyone advise how to generate newlien sequences in T-SQL. Regards Clive
what is the newline character in sqlserver. My problem is ,I have to display text (say "Hi abcd hhh") where is the newline. But when i print this in sqlserver storedproc,Its displaying as it is instead of newlines.
I am using Derived Column Transformation Editor. I have 3 string values which I would like to combine them into one string and have a newline character inbetween the 3 strings. I cannot see a Char() function similar to TSQL to use for this purpose. I thought about creating a Variable but even to that I don't know how I can assign a newline character.
Hi, I'm trying to write a SQL SELECT statement where the phone numer ("telnr") is divided on three rows. How do I write a newline? I've tried , NEWLINE, and a few others. Thanks in advance! Pettrer, Sweden (VB, Sql Server, VWD Express, Asp.Net 2.0) Code: SelectCommand="SELECT [gID], [enamn], [fnamn], telnr1 + ' ' + telnr2 + ' ' + telnr3 As telnr, [epost] FROM... The corresponding gridview's cell's value is 08-43 244 234 08-432 23 08-424333 and should be 08-43 244 234 08-432 23 08-424333

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?
I have the misfortune of converting a DTS package to SSIS that loads a flat file that has a text fields that can contain embedded text delimiters ("), column delimiters (,) and even new lines (CR+LF i.e.,hex 0D 0A) in it. A sample line from the file is posted here, remember this is just one line though it shows as three lines, since the third field has embedded new line in it:
4,"Sam","EVP; MARKETING PRODUCT MANAGER ""Level I"", Internet Sales / HELP 8005551212",100
If you open in excel it handles it perfectly showing four fields, as below, and this is what I want ( I cannot get it aligned right in the posting, just save the above line in *.csv and open to see what it should be):
4 Sam "EVP; MARKETING PRODUCT MANAGER ""Level I"", 100 Internet Sales / HELP 8005551212"
Now, SSIS errors on the embedded text delimiters and breaks into two or three lines based on which option I chose. I have tried few options based on postings in the forum: a). Using undouble and undoubleout: Does not work when there are embedded column delimiters (,) in the text field b). Modified undouble script posted by lvovg at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1718225&SiteID=1. Handles the embedded column delimiters (,) perfectly, but the embedded new lines (CR+LF i.e.,hex 0D 0A) are breaking it. Since, I am using the ragged right format to read from the file then use transform script on the line by lvovg, the line is already broken by the ragged right format at the embedded new lines, hence does not work.
Right now I am stuck. Can someone please help (anyone from MS) ? I am already baffled at the amount of coding required to convert a very basic ( and working ) flat file load DTS package to SSIS. I am willing to persist bit longer to convert this to SSIS, before I give up and stick with DTS and wait for a fix / workaround.
But my problem is that the firmat may not be generated in Windows and i can't user " " as row delimeter. It could be generated in Unix and want to use LF as the row delimeter.
Questions :
1) How do i specify this kind of new line (LF ) in formatfile? 2) Is there anyway that i can specify both the delimeters and let it use which ever is appropriate ?
hi all does anybody know why the fields of my db with the type "text" can store max. 64 characters? i thought fields of the type "text" could save unlimited characters. is it any wrong setting?i'm using visual web developer with sql server express
I have built a SSIS package that reads in data from a SQL Server 2005 source database into a flat file destination. The Row Delimiter is {CR}{LF}. The Column Delimiter is Tab {t}.
The data being read from the SQL Server database contains both {CR}{LF} and Tab {t} characters in various fields on several rows.
How can I process the input data from the SQL Server to remove these characters before passing it to the destination output file?
Sorry if this is obvious to all, but I am only just starting with SSIS...
Hey everyone! I'm doing an export from SQL into excel spreadsheet and then am going to clean out certain parts of the data with global search/replace. The problem is that the SQL data is full of special characters such as |'s and the little box looking characters. How do I export without these characters? I know its possible, I did it about 2 years ago and remember I did some crazy file conversion (make wk3 or something) but I no longer remember Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks, Geoff
PS, attached is a screenshot of the data to give you an idea of what I'd like to strip!
I have a table with several columns of information that I wish to set up some form of schedule to go through this data and remove any special characters that may interfere with other code processes.
Mainly the coma's and the apostrophes. It really messes with my asp pages and scripts when retrieving this information and trying to do other things with it, so I need to figure out how to remove these from the tables so it does not cause these issues.
Knowing this, I cannot figure out how to keep the data in the row/column and just extract the special characters from that data. The other problem is, everything I try requires me to insert either a coma or apostrophe as part of the code string which in lies my issue.
How can I parse through my data, leave the data as-is, but just get rid of coma's, apostrophes, and double quotes?
Does anyone have a basic example that I can use to expand on?
Is there a way to change the font that the data viewer uses, so that the Chinese characters don't appear as boxes? The data viewer displays Chinese characters as boxes, something similar to [_], at least on a computer with the following regional settings.
get-wmiobject CIM_OperatingSystem | ft OSLanguage, CodeSet, Locale
OSLanguage CodeSet Locale ---------- ------- ------ 1033 1252 0409The data itself is flowing correctly into the target database with a pipeline data_type of DT_WSTR. The ideograms can be seen by query utilities which supports a unicode font (e.g. Management Studio).
I'm having dificulties in loading data into a table coming from an excel file because one of the columns is a text based with an average of 1024 characters... How can i import that column? The excel source always shows me the column as a DT_WSTR of 255 characters...
