I have a table that contains file paths as
ServernamefolderAfilenameA
ServernameFolderBFilenameB
and I need a query to return
ServernamefolderA
ServernameFolderB
I tried
SELECT DISTINCT left(Source, charindex('', Source)- 0) AS String
FROM Table
But that removes everything after the first and I need it to return all data before the last
I have the following scenario, The contents of main file are like :
ServerCentral|||||forum|||||||||||||||is||||||the||best
so||||||be|||||on||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||it
And I need the output in the following form:
ServerCentral=forum=is=the=best
so=be=on=it
The logic being that multiple and consecutive occurrences of the special character, here - pipe , should be replaced by a single special character.
I have data in a column that starts with 1-4 characters followed by a dash then followed by an number of characters (ex: EU-Surgery).
How do I select everything to the right of the dash when the number of characters to the left of the dash varies?
Hello,

Ehi
command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@csv", SqlDbType.VarChar, 8000, "recipients"));
I'd like to return the left-most character from an 8 character string & the third from the left character too.

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){

Hello,
We are using Exec(@sql) with @sql varchar(8000), but 8000 is not enough. Like query get cut off in the middle of the script. We need more than that. Is there any way to store more than 8000 characters in the variable ?
We use SQL Server 7.
Thanx in advance.

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

Is there a way to create a datatype other than varchar that is greater than 8000? :o
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering if there's a way to use the string function replicate() to produce an output greater than 8000 bytes. From the documentation REPLICATE returns a varchar of max 8000 but I'm told there's a way to stop this restriction.
My mentor has been giving me tasks to try and accomplish and for this one I'm to create a stored procedure with no limitations, however I'm stuck at this replicate() problem.
Any help or guidance would be great.

Hi,
I have a MDX query which is of an aprox length of 10000 characters. I
have to execute the query from within the stored procedure in sql. To
run this query I use the openrowset method.
If the length of my query is less than 8000 characters my query
executes perfectly, but the moment it exceeds 8000 characters it stop
working. Please suggest a solution for the same.
Sample Code:
declare @mdxqry varchar(8000)
declare @SearchCond varchar(8000)
set @SearchCond = @SearchCond + '
[ProductsAccounts].CurrentMember.properties("AS Date") <= "' + @TDate
+ '" '
set @mdxqry = '''WITH ' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[Difference] as ''''[Measures].[Expected Interest
Amount] - [Measures].[Adjusted Interest]'''' ' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[Loan Closed within Report Period] as ' +
'''''iif(cdate([ProductsAccounts].CurrentMember.properties("Closed
Date")) < cdate("' + @ToDate + '"), "Yes", "No")''''' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[ClosedBeforeLastInstallment] as
''''iif([Measures].[Loan Closed Before Last Instal]=1, "Yes", "No")''''
' +
'SELECT ' +
'{[Measures].[Expected Interest Amount], [Measures].[Adjusted
Interest], [Measures].[Difference], ' +
'[Measures].[Zero Interest Transactions],
[Measures].[ClosedBeforeLastInstallment], ' +
'[Measures].[Loan Closed within Report Period]} ON 0, '
set @mdxqry = @mdxqry +
'{Filter([ProductsAccounts].[Account Id].Members, (' + @SearchCond +
'))} on 2, ' +
@BranchFilter +
'FROM InterestAnalysis'''
set @mdxqry = 'SELECT a.* FROM
OpenRowset(''MSOLAP'',''DATASOURCE="SERVERNAME"; Initial
Catalog="DATABASENAME";'',' + @mdxqry + ') as a'
exec(@mdxqry)
I have already tried splitting my query into smalled chunks and
executing it, but still I face the same problem.
This is how I have Done it:
declare @mdxqry1 varchar(8000)
declare @mdxqry2 varchar(8000)
declare @SearchCond varchar(8000)
set @SearchCond = @SearchCond + '
[ProductsAccounts].CurrentMember.properties("AS Date") <= "' + @TDate
+ '" '
set @mdxqry1 = '''WITH ' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[Difference] as ''''[Measures].[Expected Interest
Amount] - [Measures].[Adjusted Interest]'''' ' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[Loan Closed within Report Period] as ' +
'''''iif(cdate([ProductsAccounts].CurrentMember.properties("Closed
Date")) < cdate("' + @ToDate + '"), "Yes", "No")''''' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[ClosedBeforeLastInstallment] as
''''iif([Measures].[Loan Closed Before Last Instal]=1, "Yes", "No")''''
'
set @mdxqry2 = 'SELECT ' +
'{[Measures].[Expected Interest Amount], [Measures].[Adjusted
Interest], [Measures].[Difference], ' +
'[Measures].[Zero Interest Transactions],
[Measures].[ClosedBeforeLastInstallment], ' +
'[Measures].[Loan Closed within Report Period]} ON 0, '
set @mdxqry2 = @mdxqry2 +
'{Filter([ProductsAccounts].[Account Id].Members, (' + @SearchCond +
'))} on 2, ' +
@BranchFilter +
'FROM InterestAnalysis'''
set @mdxqry2 = 'SELECT a.* FROM
OpenRowset(''MSOLAP'',''DATASOURCE="SERVERNAME"; Initial
Catalog="DATABASENAME";'',' + @mdxqry + ') as a'
exec(@mdxqry1 + @mdxqry2)

I have the following SQL select query:
Code:
SELECT
inbound_emails.inbound_email_id,
inbound_emails.campaign_id,
campaign_header.campaign_name,
customers.customer_name,
inbound_emails.date_received,
[Code] ....
Without any indexes (other than PK's) this query would take 1min 21 secs to return all 8500 records.
I wasn't satisfied with that so I added indexes to the tables.
Indexes are;
inbound_emails:
PK: inbound_email_id
1. campaign_id (non-unique, non-clustered)
2. email_from (non-unique, non-clustered)
3. email_to (non-unique, non-clustered)
campaign_header:
PK: campaign_id
1. campaign_name (unique, non-clustered)
customers:
PK: customer_id
1. customer_name (unique, non-clustered)
contracts:
PK: contract_id
1. contract_name (unique, non-clustered)
2. customer_id (non-unique, non-clustered)
Have I made a hash of the indexes? Or is the query statement badly written? What is a reasonable amount of time to expect to retrieve 8500 records?
I think email_from and email_to on inbound_emails is the main culprit, but I don't understand why?
Hi
I have a BULK INSERT task to do, inserting
contents of a file per row.. (not lines total contents of text files)
but it seems 8000 is the max size of a field in SQL 2000 ?
is this the case ?
In SS 2000 it seems that there is no variable data type that can hold more than 8000 characters (varchar) or 4000 unicode characters (nvarchar). I've seen posts where multiple variables are spliced together to extend this limit. I am looking at performing string manipulations in an sproc and I need to be able to deal with the full 2GB/1GB limit of text and ntext field types. Is this possible? How do you deal with that?

Hi,
I had a VARCHAR(MAX) parameter declared in my stored procedure and trying to concatenat single column from a table which has~500 rows into a string and keep in this variable, if i am not mistaken, i read that the VARCHAR(MAX) actually can hold up to 2GB of data, so it make me confuse why the variable which i declared as MAX size, can only hold up 8000 characters, any idea?
Regards,

I am trying to change a text field into a varchar 8000.
I get his error message when trying to convert.
Unable to modify table.
ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot create a row of size 8317 which is greater than the allowable maximum of 8060.

Anyone know of a way to either truncate the text field or
to select only those that are over the 8000 character mark?
Please advise
Thanks

I was trying to build a string based on one field from one table in Stored Procedure. I know if I declare A VARCHAR variable for the string, it won’t allow to exceed 8000. If does, it will truncate the reminding parts of the fields. What might be the simple solution for that? Even though I know I might need to use several substrings but how?
Thanks!

Hi!
I have a table like this below and it doesn't only contain English Names but it also contain Chinese Name.
CREATE TABLE Names
(FirstName NVARCHAR (50),
LastName NVARCHAR (50));
I tried to view the column using SQL Query Analyzer, It didn't display Chinese Character.
I know that SQL Server 2005 is using UCS-2 Encoding and Chinese Character uses Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) Encoding.
I want to read the FirstName and LastName columns and display in Window Form Data Grid and ASP.NET Grid View.
I tried to use this code below and it didn't work. It convert some of the English Name to Chinese Character and it display the chinese character and some still in the original unreadable characters.
Does anybody know how to read those character from SQL Table and display the correct Chinese Character without converting the English Name into Chinese also?
Thanks

Hi,
I wrote this sql function which takes a comma seperated string of numbers, splits the numbers seperately and stores it in a table. I have specified the input parameter type as text instead of varchar, the size of the string can get more than 8000.
But the function is not working properly if the input size is more than 8000. For example if the input string is of length 8005 and this is the input string from 7995 to 8005 - '123,124,125'. It works fine till 123 and after that it throws an error, Syntax error converting the varchar value '124,125' to a column of data type int. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this. I am using string functions like charindex, substring. I can post the full function if you want.
Thanks.
hi all, I'm after a way to produce a single-lined output of a char/varchar string replicated over 8000 times.
basically I've been given a task to create a stored procedure which can accept any integer to replicate a string X times.
From what I've read the replicate() fn will covert to varchar of max 8000 bytes.
I've thought about creating a UDF to accept the varchar and int and run a loop to keep outputting but 'print' will pass an endline to the buffer which is no good for my loop.
Any help would be great on this. Thanks.

Hello,
We have migrated a sql server 2000 database to sql server 2005, this was done through scripts (table, stored procedures and data).
To access this database we are using an ASP.Net 2.0 application which uses the sqlhelper Aplication Block to connect to the database.
Everything works fine except one Stored Procedure which has an OUT varchar(8000) parameter.
We use the following .Net Code to execute the stored procedure this stored procedure:
aParams[2] = sSerDatos.GetParameter("@DominiosMenu", DbType.String, 8000);
aParams[2].Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
sSerDatos.ExecuteNonQuery("VM_SDominiosMenu", aParams)
When we invoque the sqlcommand we get this sqlexception:
The incoming tabular data stream (TDS) remote procedure call (RPC) protocol stream is incorrect. Parameter 3 ("@DominiosMenu"): Data type 0xE7 has an invalid data length or metadata length.
If we change the DbType.String Size to 4000 in the .Net code everything works, this same procedure work correctly in SQL Server 2000 with the same .Net code.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam
I have this sql statement in a stored procedure
SELECT @sql=@sql + '''' + convert(varchar(100), pivot) + ''' = ' + stuff(@sumfunc,charindex( '(', @sumfunc )+1, 0, ' CASE ' + @pivot + ' WHEN ' + @delim + convert(varchar(100), pivot) + @delim + ' THEN ' ) + ', ' FROM ##pivot
in the statement, where @sql is defined as DECLARE @sql varchar(Max). the problem is that this statement produces results that are in excess of 8000 characters and the results are truncated. Is there anyway to avoid this? I know that it's not possible to user ntext/text as a local variable, and if i try to return the result as an ouput paramater, only the first result is returned.
my code is based off of this article http://www.sqlteam.com/article/dynamic-cross-tabs-pivot-tables
Thanks for any suggestions.
Hi
I need to pass the where clause of my statement as an input parameter for a stored procedure. As this is built dynamically within the program (Borland C++), it could sometimes exceed the maximum 8000 bytes of a varchar. I thought of sending in two input paramenters and concatenating them into a memo in the sql, but cannot seem to be able to execute the memo variable (i.e. exec(memo) doesn't work). Is there any other options for passing in such a huge parameter.
Also, I do not think there is any other option than passing in the where clause: passing in seperate parameters and building the clause in sql would require over 300 parameters to be passed, and as the possible number of combination is indefinate, I cannot have a different Stored Procedure for each potential case.
Thank you
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.

I need to handle this conversion in SSIS and not on oracle.
The following expression is executed on a datatype of dt_str with a length of 8000.
SUBSTRING((DT_STR,8000,1252)Column_name,1,8000)
Records longer then 4000 bytes take an error path
The next expression with 4000 bytes works but there is truncation.
SUBSTRING((DT_STR,4000,1252)Column_name,1,4000)
Basically I need to know how to cast a text or ntext into a varchar or nvarchar using ssis but I need to capture the first 8000 byes without truncation.
is this possible?
Using SSIS Reading From oracle I can convert to a text or ntext field but I am having a hard time going directly to a varchar.
What causes SQL Server 2000 to create tables with default column sizes of 8000 for a varchar datatype??
I would assume this can cause significant performance problems.
(see attached)
