Does anybody have an idea about this? I have a store procedure that extracts data from two different tables. There is a text field in one of the table. We use an application called Wisdom as a front end where user can enter data and it goes to the database. When a user enter data in that text field if they press the enter key in the computer then that note shows in two lines in the query analyzer when it's supposed to be in only one lines. Can anybody help me with how to strip the character thirteen data from entering into the databse table?
While run time these values are lets suppose @SSN = '999-000-000' & @State='ABC'
Now the Result is displayed with the state data Like 'AB' only.
Output: 1 999-000-000 AB
instead it should give system generated error.
Here I have 2 Questions: 1. Why it is taking 1st 2 Charecters? 2. Why it does not have any system generated for length?
I can do validation with Length function for these 2 variables however if have 100 variables then it should not feasible case. So, what is the reason behind?
I have a need to have new line character in some data. I am trying to insert and retrieve the data with the new lines char in it, but it does work. I need the new line char in the data as I need to do some further processing whenever the new line starts. Any ideas on how I can achieve this? Thanks for the help.
This are the ways I have already tried, but does not work

I'm trying to import data from xml file into sql 2005 (through data flow task), which contains the string '&' inside some document nodes, such as
Ej: <DESC>Black & White</DESC> ---> Black & White
This character doesn't import correctly (as &), but I obtain freaky characters. I've tried with different collations of sql server but there's no way...
I have a request which me dismissal 10 lines (normal select), I want to have quite lines in a single chain of character, separated one in the others by a comma:
For our DataWarehouse, we get several date fields from our mainframe system in a character format. When this data was loaded into SQL Server 6.5 using the CONVERT(DATETIME...) function, any dates containing 'bad' data would simply be replaced by a NULL automatically by the DBMS. We are now going to SQL 7.0, and I have found that when it hits a bad date it terminates the stored procedure, resulting with no update.
Is there a straightforward way around this? Possibly a script that will scrub the data, replacing bad data with NULLs? I'm trying to avoid writing something that will take the number of days per month and determine if it is valid.
I am transferring data from SQL Server 2005 to SQLAnywhere 9. Dates and numbers are sucessfully transferred but chars and varchars are not coppied. Though there are values in SQL Server 2005 table they are shown as blank on SQL anywhere. I cannot undestand data loss
Is this a code page problem or data size? for example a varchar 20 data type is in both sql server and sql anywhere Sybase. SQL server is in 1252 and sql anywhere 1253
Hi there,Trying to work with SQL2005 with Hebrew characters. If i use the Unicode character data types do i need to change the database collation???. regards
I am developing a simple ASP based form, that stores user info in MS SQL server. I have created a table in the SQL server to store the data and defined the body field with this line: `body char(255)`. The problem is that if the user inputs a string longer then 255 characters it gets choped off. How would you suggest solving this problem? Should I use `text` datatype instead?? Any comments are very appreciated !!!
There is a ">" character (right-angle bracket) inside my SQL Server password. When I supplied this password to the bcp utility, the ">" character was treated as an output redirection symbol. So the password was truncated at ">" and the bcp output got sent to a file with a name consisting of the rest of the password after ">". I'm using SQL Server 2012. I cannot use Windows authentication due to company policy. Is there a way to resolve this without changing the password?
I have a table with text data with more than 8192 character in it. When I tried to select or into a file I could only see the first 8192 after setting 'Max character = 8192' properties. Please tell me how to select the entire data.
When I execute this, it works ok but only one the first character of the request.form["d"] is stored to the db.I checked the sproc with another routine and it adds full data, and I've verified that value of request.form["d"] is longer than one chaacter by printing it to the page. Anyone got any ideas why only the first char is getting added to the db?? SqlConnection SqlConnection1 = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString1"].ConnectionString); SqlCommand SqlCommand1 = new SqlCommand("addRoute", SqlConnection1); SqlCommand1.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; SqlParameter SqlParameter1 = SqlCommand1.Parameters.Add("@ReturnValue", SqlDbType.Int); SqlParameter1.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue; SqlCommand1.Parameters.Add("@xmlData", Request.Form["d"]); SqlConnection1.Open(); SqlCommand1.ExecuteNonQuery(); Response.Write(SqlCommand1.Parameters["@ReturnValue"].Value); //Response.Write(Request.Form["d"]);
I'm using OpenRowSet to import about 30 columns from a csv file with 190 columns with a format file. Ultimately, I want to put this in an SSIS Package. I am receiving the following error when trying to import date and decimal info.
Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 990, column 64 (TOTALSALES). There are several similar errors. I looked at this line and it is 17873.34 so I am not seeing the problem. Every value in the column is either 0 or a 2 digit decimal value. If I change the SQL Column and format file to to NVARCHAR, it imports fine.
The existing format file and SQL Column looks as follows. There are multiple errors referring to different columns and all of them seem to be valid decimals. I am having the same issue with date fields that exist in the csv as 20130521. If I bring it in as text, it is fine.
The SQL Column is defined as Decimal ((15,2), NULL))
I created a small csv file with representative decimal, date, integer and NVarchar fields and it imports into SQL fine as decimal and date info. The SQL Query used is pretty simple. Ultimately, I am planning to create a package that imports this data and joins to a production table based on values in the csv file. It will either update existing values in a Production Table or insert New Values
INSERT INTO Import.dbo.test1 SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'C:ShareImport.csv', FirstRow=2, FORMATFILE='C:ShareImport.xml' ) AS t1;
I am assuming there is bad data in the csv file but I'm not sure how to identify it as my test file seems to bring in date values with a format of 20140923 and 2 digit decimal values and that is what exists in the line numbers being referenced. I've not used OpenRow Set for this purpose before. The only workaround I've found is to bring it all in as text and create additional fields so I can cast or convert the date values which I'd rather not do as this process seems to work in my small sample file.

Recently i traspased a database from sql server 2000 in spanish to sql server 2005 in english. I change the language of the user sa to spanish and the database is in spanish. . The problem is our dateformat is dmy, i try to force with set dateformat dmy, but always i execute a stored procedure that have a date as input it fail. The error is:
Msg 295, Level 16, State 3, Procedure pa_CalendarioGestion, Line 40 Conversion failed when converting character string to smalldatetime data type.
The code of stored procedure in this line is:
set @diaActual = dateadd("d", @i, @fechaInicio)
This stored procedure in sql server 2000 in spanish not have any problems. For this reason i think the problem is in the configuration.
Hi, in SSIS I read data from a DB2 database on AS400 using the Client Access ODBC Driver for DB2 from IBM and write it to a SQL Server database. Since it does not work using the odbc driver as data source directly, I use a data reader component with .net providersodbc. Some special characters were not translated correctly when read from DB2. They show up as ? in the SQL Server target table.
I tried to change the client locale in the ODBC connection properties but it did not help me. I tried changing all other settings in odbc but it still does not work.
In dts I could source all the data without this problems and good speed using the same nodbc driver.
The OLEDB Providers delivered with SSIS do not work in SSIS or I am too stupid to configure them correctly. They are even too slow as I explained above.
I cannot use the MS OLEDB Provider for DB2, because it works only in Enterprize Edition and we only have the Standard Edition.
Thus, only using Client Access ODBC Driver for DB2 with net providersodbc (as bridge) is performant enough and works on Itanium. But how to work around the problem with the special characters?
Why would I get these errors: " SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Invalid character value for cast specification".
There was an error with input column "UniqueID" (3486) on input "OLE DB Command Input" (3438). The column status returned was: "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
Error: 0xC0209029 : SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR. The "input "OLE DB Command Input" (3438)" failed because error code 0xC0209069 occurred, and the error row disposition on "input "OLE DB Command Input" (3438)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure."
I read related posts but could not figure out the error?
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
