Hi:
I'm trying to transfer a table from SQL Server 7 database to another SQL server 7 database on
another server. This table has a text field with lots of data (~.5-1 G). I'm using the export wizard
and the transfer appears to complete successfully, but when I view it, the text field data has
been truncated.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Nicole Lane
Hi
I defined the following table in MSSQL 2000
sql Code:
Original
- sql Code
CREATE TABLE saved_query (
id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
query_text VARCHAR(2048) NOT NULL
)
CREATE TABLE saved_query ( id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL, query_text VARCHAR(2048) NOT NULL)
and whenever I insert or update the query_text field, it's always truncated to 255 characters. Why? I clearly specified a larger field size. I also tried defining query_text as a "TEXT" but got the same result.
Thanks for any help

I have an idea to use LIKEW opeartor (with te wildcards) to match large (>10Kb) text fields of 'text' and 'ntext' types. Are there known problems here?
Thanks
Hello:
I have designed a CV database with complete CV stored in a TEXT field. There is a keyword search which queries the TEXT field also. The query conditions are defined in T-SQL submitted through an ASP page. There is about 20,000 records now. Now while querying the database for keyword search I am receiving time out errors. Is there any solution other than Index server to rectify this situation. How can I speed up the query execution time. Please advise.

Hi!
In the results of our queries, the datas in the fields are truncated to 255 chars.
Is there a parameter to change to get the entire field? Their format is varchar 8000 and the fields are longer than 255 characters in the db.
Thanks for your help.
We have a text field which is being written to from a java app through JDBC-ODBC. But the data seems to be trucated in the DB. How do we store all the data in this field (the text being stored can be quite large) without it being truncated?

I've two tables that I've made from some query subsets. Each table has a varchar field with notes/memos and I want to concatenate the fields into one long field.
The problem I'm running into is that when I run the query to check the concatenation, the field is truncated maybe 256 chars in.
I tried converting and casting the field as nvarchar 4000, and I've also done the same for the fields in the two tables, but that doesn't seem to help.
I can query for the fields from each table and none of them are truncated by themselves. It only happens after I concatenate them.
I've created a new table and inserted the results into it, but the field in it is also truncated.
Am I missing something obvious here?
I am trying to send a large string to my table where I have typed the field as "text". The data is truncated ( I am only sending about 5kb and it is being truncated to about 4kb). I am using SQL 2000.
My web page is classic.asp and I am sending a parameterized query to my stored procedure.
This is the relevelant code for the parameter I'm sending:
objCmd.Parameters.Append = objCmd.CreateParameter("@PostBody",adLongVarChar,adParamInput,20000,PostBody)
This is the typing in my stored proc: @PostBody text,
I can either INSERT or UPDATE using Query Analyzer and the data is NOT truncated.
Wondering if it was my parameterized query that was causing me trouble, I rewrote the code to send the SQL upfront (skipping the stored proc), and the calling the stored proc from my .asp page passing in the parameters in a string. All three ways are truncating the data.
I have isolated that the truncation is happening on the way in, not on the way out.
Because I can successfully insert/update with QA, I'm wondering if there is some IIS issue that is causing the truncation. But I don't manage our IIS server so I really don't know much about that end of things.
I have been researching this issue for two days with no luck. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!
Hi,Question: Why is INSERT of a string having 8000+ characters causing truncation in a TEXT field?We are working on a website for a client, and one of their CMS-driven pages contains more than 8000 chars for its content. The database field was originally TEXT datatype at the default size, but the content was getting truncated upon INSERT. So I looked into why this was happening, tried many things including: 1. Executing: EXEC sp_tableoption 'section', 'text in row', '7000'2. Changing datatype from TEXT to VARCHAR(8000). (of course this truncated at 8000).And this truncation still occurring. This is happening on SQL Server 2000 installed and configured on our client's server. The servers we host don't have this problem, and we have even tested the INSERT on our server and it does not truncate. So why is it truncating only on our client's Sql Server? Is there some kind of default configuration setting that limits the allowable length?I'm not intimately familiar with the large BLOB datatypes, and haven't really needed to deal with this issue before now. Now the client is upset about the limitation and does not wish to copy edit the content for their webpage. This is an urgent matter. I need to figure out the problem within a few hours today (it is morning in Europe on Tuesday 14 mar 2006 right now). Thanks in advance.UPDATE: I HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUE. THE PROBLEM WAS A RESTRICTION IN THE STORED PROCEDURE INPUT VARIABLE DECLARATION -- WAS TRUNCATING AT 8000 CHARACTERS.

Like the title says.. I am trying to import an Excel 2000 spreadsheet to SQL Server to do some manipulations/aggregations. The Excel file has several cells with long text (detailed product descriptions) in them. Since this is a quick Import/Export I am using the Wizard rather than the SSIS Designer. I specify the value of the field as being varchar(max), and this is confirmed by the Edit SQL button. However, every time I try to run it I get an error on the Details column, stating that "Text was truncated". I have tried changing it from varchar(max) to text (and also tried nvarchar(max) and ntext) but still get the same error. What the heck am I doing wrong? I cannot just get rid of the column in question because we need its contents. Is this some issue with Excel and not SQL Server? If so, is there any way to fix it?

I am tryin to run an SSIS package from an Excel Spreadsheet to MS SQL Server 2005.
I receive the error: Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page (full report is below).
I found this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2562259&SiteID=1
and have set the destination column to nvarchar(max), and I have also set the TruncationRowDisposition = RD_IgnoreFailure on the destination column, with no luck.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi,
I have tried to extract data from Pervasive SQL into MS SQL Server using DTS. Due to the server has been set as Chinese language region, the MS SQL is also set as 'Chines_PRC_CI_AS' by default. After the successful extraction and transfer, I have exported the data out to Excel format. Due to different location, I have copy and transfer the data into another reporting server which is having MS SQL 2005.
When trying to import the data into the server, it prompted an error '[Data Conversion 1 [168]] Error: Data conversion failed while converting column "DESC" (166) to column "Copy of DESC" (187). The conversion returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.". '. After checking and finding, I found it was due to the chinese characters that are contained inside the data files.
I have tried to change the collation setting inside MS SQL 2005 with the same setting as the MS SQL 2000, but it still not working. Please help and advice.
Thank you and cheers.
Best regards,
Francis
Hi, i'm trying to do a full text search on my site to add a weighting score to my results. I have the following database structure:
Documents: - DocumentID (int, PK) - Title (varchar) - Content (text) - CategoryID (int, FK)
Categories: - CategoryID (int, PK) - CategoryName (varchar)
I need to create a full text index which searches the Title, Content and CategoryName fields. I figured since i needed to search the CategoryName field i would create an indexed view. I tried to execute the following query:
CREATE VIEW vw_DocumentsWITH SCHEMABINDING ASSELECT dbo.Documents.DocumentID, dbo.Documents.Title, dbo.Documents.[Content], dbo.Documents.CategoryID, dbo.Categories.CategoryNameFROM dbo.Categories INNER JOIN dbo.Documents ON dbo.Categories.CategoryID = dbo.Documents.CategoryID
GOCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX vw_DocumentsIndexON vw_Documents(DocumentID)
But this gave me the error:
Cannot create index on view 'dbname.dbo.vw_Documents'. It contains text, ntext, image or xml columns.
I tried converting the Content to a varchar(max) within my view but it still didn't like.
Appreciate if someone can tell me how this can be done as surely what i'm trying to do is not ground breaking.
I have followed many tutorials on selecting and replacing text in text fields, varchar fields and char fields, but I have yet to find a single script that will to all 3 based on field type. Let's assume for a moment that I don't know where all in my database a certain value that I need changed resides ... i.e., the data's tablename and fieldname. How would I go about doing the following ... or more importantly, is this even possible in a SQL only procedure?1) Loop over entire database and get all user tables2) Loop over all user tables and get all fields3) Loop over all fields and determine the field type4) switch between field types and change a string of text from 'a' to 'b'Please be gentle, I'm a procedure newb.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to import data in Excel into SQL Server table which you would think would be an absolute doddle seeing as they're both key Microsoft products in the BI family..One of the columns in Excel spreadsheet is Comments1 and a couple of the values in this column are over 300 characters in length yet when I set up the Excel source and then open Advanced Editor and look at Input and output properties this column has a data-type of Unicode string [DT_WSTR] with length of 255 which leads to the truncated error in the title.
I've researched this and on find going into the registry and updating the TypeGuessRows value from 8 to zero. I've done this and yet the data-type is still showing as Unicode string [DT_WSTR] with length of 255. I've even moved the row with the largest number of characters to the top of the spreadsheet and changed the TypeGuessRows value to 1 but the data-type still stays the same.I can't believe that it's soooo difficult to import data from one of Microsoft's key BI applications to another using their 'world-class' integration tool.
I have a table with raw scientific test results in a single field, some of which are over 25Mb field. I need to parse into the field to find and aggregate selected values from the field.

Is there a way to parse the individual lines into another table (temp) that would be queried/regexed ?
I have a general SQL design-type question.
I want to log errors to a table. If the error is with a URL, I want to store the URL. These URLs can be very large, hundreds of characters, but I only need to store it if it causes the error, which should be very infrequent. Which is the better design:
Create a large varchar field in the log table to hold the URL, or null if the error wasn't with the URL.
Create a foreign key field in the log table to a second URL table, which has a unique ID and a large varchar, and only create a record in this table if the error is with the URL.
One concern I have with design 2 is that there could be many other fields that are infrequent. Do I create a separate table for every one?

For large databases is it a good idea to create indexes for fields that are used in Where statements? Does that improve performance and reduce overhead?

Hi Experts,
I am extracting data from SQL Server 2005 to flat file destination. I am using SQL Command to specify the data selection query. One of my query uses Replicate function to derive a column value. When I execute this package it fails with the error "Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "value" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page".
The reason for the problem is that, it is taking the InputColumnWidth of the flat file destination as 8000 and I specified the OutputColumnWidth as 4.
If I change the OutputColumnWidth to 8000, it is working without any error but resulting in the column width of 8000.
I tried using DerivedColumn Transformation's Type cast and DataConversion Transformation but still I am getting the same error in the respective Transformation components.
Can anyone suggest how to solve this issue.

We have created a databse in SQL Server 7 for support issues.
We are having trouble with only one aspect of the databse and that is the body of the supported problem.
The databse is basically a Question/Answer Support database whch house Frequently Asked Questions.
When the user does a search on a specific problem they have a list of matching questions shows on the screen (links).
When the question is clicked on it shows the Questions with the Answer of possible fixes.
Our problem lies in the fact that SQL server is truncating the Answer portion. I have tried different Data Types with maximum lengths with no success it keeps truncating it.
Right now I am on Data Type nvarchar with a length of 4000.
If anyone has any pointers on how to solve this problem all input is appreciated. You can post here to the forum or e-mail me directly at jason@flnet.com
Thank You.
