Checking Character Set
May 2, 2002
I've forgotten the character set that I've chosen when I was installing the SQL Server 7. Is there a way to check?
I'm currently using US English version of Windows NT4 and SQL7. But interestingly, all the data is in Japanes characters. It's actually for a Japanese website, and the front-end application is written in ASP. I remember reading somewhere that it is impossible to do certain type of sorting (by some particular order for the Japanese language) as it is limited by the choice of the language of the NT OS.
The type of sorting that I'm looking at is the grouping of 5-characters. One example is in http://www.forest.impress.co.jp/aiueo.html
Would this be possible with my current setup? Or would it help if I migrate over to Windows 2000? (I'd rather not move to Japanese NT4)
Your feedback and advice would be very much appreciated!

Hi All,I have come up against a wall which i cannot get over.I have an sql db where the date column is set as a varchar (i know, should have used datetime but this was done before my time and i've got to work with what is there). The majority of values are in the format dd/mm/yyyy. However, some values contain the word 'various'.I'm attempting to compare the date chosen on a c# .net page with the values in the db and also return all the 'various' values as well.I have accomplished casting the varchar to a datetime and then comparing to the selected date on the .net page. However, it errors when it comes across the 'various' entrant.Is there anyway to carry out a select statement comparing the start_date values in the db to the selected date on the .net page and also pull out all 'various' entrants at the same time without it erroring? i thought about replacing the 'various' to a date like '01/01/2010' so it doesn't stumble over the none recognised format, but am unsure of how to do it.This is how far i have got: casting the varchar column to datetime and comparing. SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE Cast(SUBSTRING(Start_Date,4,2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(Start_Date,1,2) + '/' +SUBSTRING(Start_Date,7,4) as datetime) '" + date + "'"Many thanks in advance!

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'd like to return the left-most character from an 8 character string & the third from the left character too.
Like this ABC00123 returns AC
$query = "SELECT LEFT(uninum,3), RIGHT(uninum,5), clmarea, Date FROM tblunimov";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
echo "<div class='tblstyle1'>";
echo "<table class='tblstyle1'>";
echo "<tr><th>ini</th><th>item</th><th>area</th><th>date</th></tr>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
[Code] ....

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
int codePage = 950;
StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder();
Encoding targetEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(codePage);
byte[] encodedChars= targetEncoding.GetBytes(str);
.
message.AppendLine("Byte representation of '" + str + "' in Code Page '" + codePage + "':");
for (int i = 0; i < encodedChars.Length; i++)
{
message.Append("Byte " + i + ": " + encodedChars);
}
message.AppendLine(" RESULT : " + System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(encodedChars));
Console.Writeline(message.ToString());

Hi,
I want to assign a list columns to be the PK on a table. I don't know what this list of columns would be.How do I go about figuring that?
Sample Data
Col1...Col2...Col3..Col4
1...........2.......A......X
1...........2........B.....X
1...........2.......A......Y
As you can see Col1 & Col2 ONLY do not make up the PK. I need to include Col3 as well. My concern is I am not sure if I have a row like..
1...........2.......A......X reapeated lower down the order. So how do I figure the PK out?
Thanks

Can someone show me some C# code for detecting if a SQL row exists or not? This seems like a very typical action and I cannot for the life of me find a tutorial online that explains this step. In my code I'm either going to INSERT or UPDATE a record. I tried sending a SELECT command through a ExecuteNonQuery, but only got -1 as a response. Apparently ExecuteNonQuery does not work with SELECT. I then saw that T-SQL has an EXISTS keyword, but I cannot see anyway to use that from within C#.So...can anyone share the typical code they use to identify if a row exists or not within a database. I guess I was execting there to be some method available to do this sort of thing.

Hi,
Just a brief question. I have a script which does a number of insert statements. What I would like to do is determine if the insert statements were all successful. Aside from checking @@ERROR after every insert, is there a way to check if all the insert statements completed successfully?
Thanks,
Jim

I want to do a check to see if a number falls within a range specified by the user. Basically, they enter in a min and max value and I return a hit if a number falls inbetween.
I have having trouble with my SQL statement:
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT *
FROM Table
WHERE ( (0=0)
AND
(min.value <= Table.Value <= max.value) )
(This isn't my actual code, but just the logic)
It will return all the results everytime. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could be missing here?
Thanks in advance!

I have a question I hope someone can help me with.
My situation:
I have a single-step job in SQL Server, which runs a stored procedure, A. This stored procedure invokes another stored procedure, B. In B, one of the statements is a 'BACKUP DATABASE' command, and a database is backed up to a file.
The job is started by an application. Once started, the application then uses the SQL-DMO property CurrentRunStatus to periodically check the status of the job. When the property returns the value SQLDMOJobExecution_Idle (indicating the job has completed), the application code then continues processing, and attempts to access the .dat file produced by the 'BACKUP DATABASE' command.
My problem:
On occasion, the application will hit the problem where either the backup file cannot be located, or the file is still being locked by another process (Error=The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process).
Is anyone able to shed some light on this?
I assume that the job will only return a completed status after:
(a) both A and B have completed execution, and
(b) the BACKUP operation has completed
Is it possible that even though SQL Server indicates the job has finished, that the BACKUP operation still hasn't completely ended?
Thanks for any help,
Andrew

Our System currently has on the upwards of 300 stored procedures in it.
We have SP's that call SP's that call SP's and sometimes a Stored Procedure will return 10 ResultSets which are used by .NET.
Some of our developers do not check other stored procedures when they modify the SP parameters, and in doing so break the system until the testers find it.
is there a way to run a command to check ALL the stored procedures to see if they work, they match the SP they're calling, etc?

SQL Server allows for a user to have SELECT permission on a View withoutthat user requiring an associated SELECT permission on the underlying tablethat the VIEW accesses, but the user can still access the data through theView. A similar arrangement holds true for stored procedures.So based on these initial known behaviours, I have a couple of questions:1. If a stored procedure A executes stored procedure B, does the user of Arequire execute permission for B also? Or will access to B be permittedregardless because the user was given access to A?2. Similarly, if a stored procedure A accesses a View, does the user of Arequire permissions on the referenced View?I guess to paraphrase what I am trying to determine is whether SQL Serveronly checks permissions at the "entry" point of a particular function, orwhether permission checks are performed "intra-function". My openingexamples imply they are only checked "on entry", but I am wondering if thisbehaviour is entirely consistent. Perhaps the SQL Standard mandates this?

I have built a procedure to send mail using OLE Automation and want to be able to trap error information when it doesn't work. So in an attempt to do that I have the following stored procedure that will return informaiton if the return value is <> 0. Here is how it is being used:
IF @return <> 0
BEGIN
EXECUTE sp_displayoaerrorinfo @handle, @return
END
ELSE
PRINT 'Success'
This works fine, but I would like to write the error message to a table and so I thought I could just alter to to be:
IF @return <> 0
BEGIN
EXECUTE sp_displayoaerrorinfo @handle, @return = @failure
END
ELSE
PRINT 'Success'
Where @failure is a variable I declared earlier. Then I could insert the value of this variable along with some other infomration into a table that would track the errors. However, when I do this I receive the following:
Error: Procedure or Function 'sp_DisplayOAErrorInfo' expects parameter '@HResult', which was not supplied. Number:201 Severity:16 State:4
So it isn't seeing that I am passing two variables into the stored procedure. I know I must be missing something simple but I've tried a bunch of different itterations and can't seem to get it right. Any help would be great. Thanks.

I'm wanting to create a if statement that will query a table and check for a duplicate and if there is a duplicate return that uniqueID or if it doesnt find a duplicate continue to add a new record...so here is my question is there a way to run a if statement that will call a function (lets say a function that returns like a bool) and if it finds a duplicate grab that id and store it in a session.....i guess my question is how do i query the database for a record and if found return true if not return false....that is my question....

I'm currently working on this portion of a program...what it does is it takes a "char" of 24 digits, what the user inputs is something like this "50-32-18-000-008.000-018" i take it out of the text box and store it on a session and then call the insert into the database....but like i said the database is configured to have a char of 24 go into it...and it won't insert it is saying that im having a conflicting with the calling of two different things...here is the code.....
//***set the query text to the name of a stored proceduremyCommand.CommandText = "INSERT INTO BZA ParcelNumber, BZAcaseNum, ApplicantID, OwnerID, DateFiled, Acreage, Zoning, HearingMonth, HearingDay, PropertyAddress VALUES (@parcelNum, @caseNum, @applicant, @ownerID, @dateFiled, @acreage, @zoning, @hearingMonth, @hearingDay, @propertyAddress)";
//create an input parameterSqlParameter parcel = new SqlParameter();
parcel.ParameterName = "@parcelNum";parcel.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Char;
parcel.Size = 24;
parcel.Value = (string)Session["parcelNumber"]; //set the Parcel Number to what is entered in
I've tried doing a Convert.ToChar((string)Session["parcelNumber"]) but when i do that it says that the string needs to be one character
What should I do??
