Hi, I have a table with ntext and image datatype. I did BCP out succesfully but when I try to to BCP in, I am getting error.
----------
Starting copy...
SQLState = 22005, NativeError = 0
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid character value for cast specification
SQLState = 22005, NativeError = 0
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid character value for cast specification
SQLState = 22005, NativeError = 0
------------------
I read somewhere that I can use BULK INSERT with a format file.
Can someone suggest how to BCP in siccesfully or How does the format file looks like for this kind of task?. I am using SQL Server 2000.

Here is my table structure..

Hallo. I need help, how pull out some inquiry string from type "ntext" in MS SQL(it is xml document). Sring has invariable length, in note is always on other position and includes variable text (e.g .:<actionId>xx</actionId>) . Position I can find out by the help of "patindex" but I don't know what then. I tryed to write procedures, but I had trouble with declaration variables (data type). Thanks and sorry for my horrible English.
We have a nice issue here. We are running SQL 2005 Dev edition Service Pack 2 and we are trying to copy the contents of one table in a local sql server database to another table in another database on the same local sql server. We use an oledb source and a sql server destination. The table structure is exactly the same. One column is of the datatype ntext, when we try to load the contents the package will stop with the error:
OnError 11-9-2007 14:38:24 11-9-2007 14:38:24 00:00:00 The attempt to send a row to SQL Server failed with error code 0x80004005.

Removing the column from the sql server destination will result in loading the complete table. Using an oledb destination instead of sql server destination fixes the problem. Is this a bug in the SQL server destination component?
From the SQL Server documentation : "The input parameters and the type returned from a SVF can be any of the scalar data types supported by SQL Server, except rowversion, text, ntext, image, timestamp, table, or cursor"This is a problem for me. Here's what I'm trying to do :I have an NTEXT field in one of my tables. I want to run regular expressions on this field, and return the results from a stored procedure. Since SQL Server doesn't provide facilities to perform regular expressions, I need to use an SQLCLR function. I would have no problem doing this if my field was nvarchar. However, this field needs to be variable in length - I cannot set an upper bound. This is why I'm using NTEXT and not nvarchar in the first place.Is there a solution to this problem? I can't imagine that I'm the only person who wants to pass strings of arbitrary size to an SQLCLR function.
Hi, I've read conflicting articles on updating an ntext field in acolumn.My ntext field will exceed 8,000 characters (typically twice that size-- but just a text string).One article (I think from MicroSoft) said you could NOT use ntext inan UPDATE statement, but I've seen examples from other people usingit...but don't know if it's related to the size/characters issue.Is this true or not?Thanks very much...Kathy

I had a problem with the ntext datatype. I need to strip the HTML tags out of a ntext datatype column. I have sample query for that, which works fine for STRING, as stuff is the string function, what to do for ntext field.

I do not understand the error message but I do know it is associated with a specific table and one of its indexes. If I try to drop the index that is the error message I get.
I have copied the data from the table to a new table and rebuilt the indexes on the new table and everything is working fine.
The bad table is now renamed to myTable_BAD. I now want to delete it but can't as everytime I enter drop table myTable_BAD
I get Page (1:404399), slot 5 for text, ntext, or image node does not exist.
Hi,I created a table with one column being that of an 'image' data type. The problem is I don't know how to insert an image into that column. Pleas Help.
I don't know much about the image data type in sql server 7.0. is there any article on the net which i can read. i want to store some images in the database and don't know how to do that?
Hi!! Im psyche34. :confused: I was confused on what to do on a Image datatype. I had created a dummy database name "DUMMY_DB" On that database I created a table name TB1 having a fields name: Picture as image Text as text through queries I insert a value to each field but the problem I can't insert a value on column Picture.
What value would I insert on the field "Picture" Is it the directory where the picture was stored??
I have a table Table1 which has a Col called "Msg" datatype image<binary>. Msg alreay has the plain text or RTF text as a image datatype (binary)If I execute the following query "Select Msg from Table1 where id =3" then this query is returning the following ASCII/Binary data.Msg = "0x7B5C727466315C616E73695C616E7369637067313235325C64656666305C6465666C616E67313033337B5C666F6E7474626C7B5C66305C6673776973735C66707271325C66636861727365743020417269616C3B7D7B5C66315C6673776973735C66707271325C666368617273657430204D6963726F736F667420"Can any body tell me how can I convert the above binary data to plain text from my query?Thanks for any reply.
I have image type col.I'm trying to do the following,DECLARE @Data varbinary(16)SET @Data = (select imageCol from Table1 where id=3)As image datatype returns varbinary value, so I want to store image col value to a varbinary variable(or any other type variable, eg., varchar). But getting following error,========================================Server: Msg 279, Level 16, State 3, Line 2The text, ntext, and image data types are invalid in this subquery or aggregate expression.========================================Is there anyway to store image datatype value to a variable?Cheers.
Is there any method to find out the size of an image datatype currently in the database. For example I have 2 tables that contain the same image, but the archive table is not displaying the same as the main. I am thinking the image file was corrupted somehow but don't know how to check this out. Any ideas?
I have a table with an IMAGE datatype. Without using xp_cmdshell and bcp, is it possible to get this image to disk? We do have the OLE procedures enabled so I can use those to create in instance of the Scripting.FileSystemObject and write to disk but how do I convert the image datatype to something I can store on disk and it actually be a readable format? If it helps, we only store this particular field in JPEG format in the database.
Hi all,I have a database with 40GB of binary objects stored in image columnsin two tables.Our database server is also used for another 15 databases.SQL Server caches the image-column, causing the cache-hit-ratio todramatically decrease, since fetching a couple of binaries from theimage-column uses up thememory, and throws other cached objects out of the cache.Is there a way, and could someone tell me how, to avoid caching ofspecificcolumns/tables?Regards///Magnus
Hi,I want download photos (image datatype) from a SQL-2000 databaseinto windows based jpeg files (one for each record). Just wondering isthere any way of doing this without using TEXTCOPY?Michael
