is there any way i can make a field in a table accomodate more than 1023 charcters? i used the 'varchar' datatype and used a length of 2500, but still, I can't fill up a field with more than 1023 characters. Is there any way to change it?
Also, is there any way to used a symbol or special character in a field? Can SQL server identify such a character? like the alpha or beta symbol...
Thank you...

I have asked this question on 3 forums now and never get an answer, I don't know what is so hard about this question but I will try it here.
I am using SHA512 in C# to convert a password and its salt to hashed. I need to store the password hash and the salt hash in the database in two fields. I was told to use binary field to store the hash data and that the output of SHA512 would ALWAYS be the same no matter how long the password is.
I modified this hash example to use only SHA512 and to work with byte array instead of plain text.
All I need to know now is what size I need to make my binary field to hold this password that is hashed.
http://www.obviex.com/samples/Code.aspx?Source=HashCS&Title=Hashing%20Data&Lang=C%23
Say I have a password which is 30 characters max, and a salt which is 16 characters max. The password and the hash are stored in seperate fields in the same table. They are both hashed using SHA512 and are both being stored as byte arrays in C#, what size to I need to make the binary data type in order to hold the password, and to hold the salt.
Thanks!
I'm using sys.dm_fts_parser dynamic management function to tokenize a string of characters >4000. The function doesn't accept a query_string parameter >4000 characters. Is there a way around this? I've tried to execute the SELECT defined in the function but that doesn't work. Â

table from another table within a stored procedure:
Server: Msg 511, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot create a row of size 8455 which is greater than the allowable maximum of 8060.
The statement has been terminated.
The row size did not exceed 8060......
Also, If I make it an 'Insert' instead of an 'Update' it works.
It will Insert the data into table.
Any ideas?

I am trying to use this:
INSERT INTO BizNames ( [Key], [Name] ) VALUES ( 0, 'Bob's Lumber' );
The apostrophe embedded in the name value is giving me headaches. I tried using double-quotes and [] to delineate the value but then I get complaints that a "Name" is not allowed in this context.
How do you turn the embedded characters into an escape character so they can be ignored by SQL Server and passed into the table field.
Hello,
I have a table with a column that is currently a varchar(50), but I want to convert it into an int. When I try to just change the type in design mode I get an error that conversion cannot proceed. When I look at the field it appears some of the entries have special characters appended at the end, I see a box after the value.
How can I remove all speical characters and then convert that field to an int?
Also I tried the following query which did not work as well, same error about conversion.
UPDATE myTable SET field = CAST(field AS int)

Hello people,
i have 2 W2K3 Servers with an SQL 2005 enterprise Cluster. Everything is working fine. We set up a sitescope Server to monitor The SQLs. Everything fine for about 2 months.
But yesterday (nothing changed as i can remember) both SQL Servers get numbers fo Errors with ID 1023 from Perflib. Sitescope gets timeouts while checking VSQL resources, but after a refresh in Sitescope everything is fine again... Where does the 1023 come from and what can I do against it?

Hello
I am getting following error during executing a insert query.
Error Message : Cannot create a worktable row larger than allowable maximum.
Resubmit your query with the ROBUST PLAN hint.
1. The max rowsize for a table in SQL Server 2000 is 8060 characters.
2. The query was working fine for data below the limit, it failed
for the data above the limit.
3. I had tested the UPDATE query with option (ROBUST PLAN ), but it didn€™t work.
if any one have clue to solve this problem plzz reply soon.
-thanks in advance

I have a weird problem.
We are importing a very small subset of a big desktop database into a CE database on a mobile device for an occasionally connected application. The idea is that the mobile device can use this CE database as a fall back database in case we are not connected.
The database is a very simple list of barcodes.
Basically a single field as primary key
EAN13 bigint
When we import 200K rows (yes we have quite a lot of them). The database is 7MB!!!! A bit big I would say since 8 bytes times 200.000 is only 1.5 MB. Where does the extra space come from?
Yes I did compact the database after the import
I am calling my report logo image via http: url

SqlCeParameter.Size seems to be limited to 255 characters for char types.
Eg.
SqlCeParameter param = new SqlCeParameter();
param.ParameterName = parameter_name;
param.DbType = DbType.String;
param.Size = 260;
Now check the value of param.Size, it will be 255.
In the past this problem was avoidable by setting the size to 0. However, this cause a problem if you are re-using the same command and simply changing the parameters value.
Somewhere the system remembers the length of the first value and adjusts the max size to be limited to this length.
Thus for the following values:
"Test"
"Testing"
The second one will error with something like "@param: String truncation: max = 4, len = 7, value = 'testing' "
Has anyone else come across this problem, or found a solution to it?
I want the reason for the above statement where I user nvarchar(4000)

Hi..
I m working on MS SQL Server 2000.
I am trying to pass a list of numbers to a stored procedure to be used with 'IN()' statement.
I was doing something like..
Create Procedure proc
(
@Items varchar(100) --- List of numbers
)
AS Begin
Declare @SQL varchar(8000)
Set @SQL =
'
Select Query......
Where products IN (' + @items + ') '
'
Exec (@SQL)
This stored procedure is working fine, but when i m adding more required stuff to that, the size exceeds 8000, & it gives the error "Invalid operator for data type. Operator equals add, type equals text."
Can any1 please help me out with this ASAP??

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?
All posts are welcome, thanks.
I have a sql database that includes a table of customer contact information. The area code for many of my customers is about to change. Is there a way to mass update the phone number field so that all phone numbers that currently start with 111 change to 222 ? Ex 1115554444 to 2225554444 ?
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
I have a table in sql server that has a field with numeric characters, i would like to select some but not all characters from this field and insert it into a new field. The field that i want to get some characters from has other characters that i dont need, It has a lot of zero's next to the numbers that i need. so far i created a stored procedure, but its not working. I want to extract the characters and insert them into a new field in the format "000.00" or "00.00". The values are either hunderths or tenths, which makes it difficult for me to decide which characters to ignore. Please see my SP created so far below:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.spUpdatePaymentDetails
AS UPDATE dbo.PaymentDetails
SET NewAmount = SUBSTRING('00' + TransactionAmount, 1, LEN('00' +TransactionAmount) - 2) + '.' + SUBSTRING('00' + TransactionAmount, LEN('00' + TransactionAmount) - 1, 2)
GO
the character "." is not in the original field so therefore i would like to insert it into the new field.
Please help urgently.
Tnx

I'm comparing two tables and need to compare the first 8 characters of one field in table A to the first 8 characters in another field in table B.
So instead of where 'John Smith' = 'John Smith' it would compare where 'John Smi' = 'John Smi'
I know I've done this before but can't find a good reference.
It's something like this when calling a query within a WHILE loop:
SELECT * FROM blah WHERE FID = '".$row['FID']."' AND LEFT('TRACK', 8) = LEFT('".$row['TRACK']."',8)
Am I close? Any help would be appreciated.
Hello,
I am developing a message board using ASP on IIS and SQL Server 2000, and I am running into a problem.
When a user enters their post, they enter their user name, subject, and of course all of their post content. Now the post content should be an unlimited number of characters since it could end up being multiple paragraphs.
I know I could just use an ASP file system object and write the text to a file, but I wanted to save all of these paragraphs as a field in a database table so I could pull it from the database so it could be edited by the user.
Is there a way to make a field be able to take in an unlimited amount of characters?
Or is this the wrong way to do things; is it bad to have an unlimited amount of characters in a table field? Should I stick to using the ASP System File Object?
I have a large table, tblMessage, which stores e-mail messages in textfields. I need to remove the carriage returns the data in these fields,but I have not yet figured out how to do so.I thought that the way to do this would be with the REPLACE function;unfortunately, of course, the REPLACE function cannot work with TEXTfields. I tried CASTing the text field to VARCHAR(8000); however, someof the rows have more than 8000 characters in the text field, so it bombs.Here is the SQL that I tried:selectmsgID,msgSent,msgFromType,msgFromID,msgSubject,REPLACE (CAST(msgMessage AS varchar(8000)), CHAR(13), '<BR>') ASnewMessage,msgOriginal,attIDinto tblMessageNewfrom tblMessageI'm at my wit's end. Truncating the text field to 8000 character is anacceptable option, but I can't even seem to be able to do that.I'm using SQL Server version 7.

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
Customername (database)
Tonkin Wilsonville - ACCOUNT CANCELLED
Subaru of Riverside - ACCOUNT CANCELLED
Customername (spreadsheet)
Tonkin Wilsonville
Subaru of Riverside
How can I match the names in the spreadsheet with the names in the database, I tried to use like, but can't get it to work for multiple rows.
Thanks

I am doing a shopping basket type demo.I have difficulties going from table with fields like (Name,ProductCode) to table(Name, ProductCode, NumberOfItems). One way could be adding just Name and ProductCode fields and let NumberOfItems come automatically. It could have some common value like 1. How should I do this with VB.
