I am currently developing a backend SQL db for an ASP website. I am only learning, so quite new to it all & would appreciate some help with the following;
I currently have a form that updates a recordset in my SQL db. This is working fine, except for the fact that when the form loads and the db tries to write the field value into my text box, e.g. Address: 20 Harbour Drive, the field value is truncated at the space and it writes the address as 20 in the text box.
When I view the detail page, no problems, the recordset was updated, but when I go back to the update page, the record values are truncated again as though the ASP page thinks the space is some kind of delimiter?
The size property of my textbox element is the same as the varchar datatype size in the SQL table.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance, this is driving me nuts.

In t-sql 2012, data is obtained from [Inputtb].lockCombo1 where it is defined as varchar(8). The data is copied to test.dbo.LockCombination.combo where the field is defined as varchar(8). This copies all the data except the last right column.
Basically a value that is '12-34-56' intially from [Inputtb].lockCombo1 ends on in st.dbo.LockCombination.combo looking like
'12-34-5'. In this case the last value of '6' is missing. I have tried to use various string functions to obtain the entire value that should be  '12-34-56' and ends up looking like '12-34-5'.
Here are 2 sqls that I have used and I get the same results:
1.
UPDATE LKC
SET LKC.combo = lockCombo1
FROM [Inputtb] A
JOIN test.dbo.School SCH ON A.schoolnumber = SCH.type and A.schoolnumber =
@SchoolNumber
JOIN test.dbo.Locker LKR ON SCH.schoolID = LKR.schoolID AND A.lockerNumber =
[Code] ....
I can not change the definition of the columns since these are production settings.
Thus can you should me modified sql that will end up with the entire value of 8 characters in the [Inputtb].lockCombo1 column?
I am trying to change a text field into a varchar 8000.
I get his error message when trying to convert.

Anyone know of a way to either truncate the text field or

Please advise

Hi, all
I am seting up a table with email message, I am wondering what is the max length for varchar field. I am so reluctant to use text field, since when
I run query for the descriptiona in sql analyzer, text field cannot be fully display in column. Any tricks to share?

I understood that sql 2005 has EncryptByCert(varchar) function to encrypt data field. but varchar is limit by 8,000 chars long.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe're connecting to SQL Server 7.0 (sp2) via ODBC for our ASP application, and are having trouble saving information collected in a <textarea> tag on an HTML form. I assume the <textarea> tag contains data of type TEXT. i thought there would be no problem in converting it into a string and saving it in a VARCHAR field in the database. this works fine as long as the string is 255 characters or less. anything over that give me an "Errors Occurred" SQL Server error. the field that i'm saving this into is a VARCHAR length 8000. i thought SQL 7.0 had gotten rid of the 255 limit on varchar - could this be an ODBC driver problem (on my web server i currently have 3.50.0305) and/or should i install service pack 2 on my SQL Server? anyone advice would be much appreciated.

Hi all. I have been going round and round for the past 2 days on this and would appreciate any help. In a view select statement, I need to concat 2 varchar fields with a text field. If I CONVERT the TEXT field to VARCHAR, only the first 30 characters of the field appear in the result set. If I convert the VARCHAR fields to TEXT, I get an error that I cannot CONCAT TEXT fields. I'm not sure what to do. Can someone please offer some assistance? Thanks in advance! Steve

Does anyone know of a way to execute sql code from a dynamically builttext field?Before beginning, let me state that I know this db architecture isbuilt solely for frustration and I hope to make it better soon.Unfortunately, there is never a non-crucial time in which we can do anupgrade, so we are stuck for now.Point 1:There are multiple tables: students, courses, cross-referencestudent/courses, teachers, cross-reference teacher/courses, andothers.Point 2:Yearly archiving is done by appending a 2 digit year suffix to thetable and rebuilding the table structure for the current year. Thatis, each of the tables named above has an archive table for 1999,2000, 2001, etc. This leads to many tables and a big mess whenunioning them.Point 3:A history report is run by building a big query that unions each unionof tables (students, courses, etc) by year. This query has grown toobig for a varchar(8000) field. Actually, it's too big for 2 of them.Point 4:I don't want to write code to maintain any more varchar(8000) fieldsfor this query. It should be much more easily handled with atemporary table holding each bit of yearly archive data. I have builtthis and it works fine. I have also figured out how to pull the rowsfrom that table, concatenate them, and insert the resulting lump intoa text field in another table.Point 5:I haven't figured out how to grab the 5 or so records from that tableand execute them on their own. I figured I could grab them, put theminto a text field that's big enough to hold the whole query and thenselect and execute that text field. I've had no luck with that and Ihaven't had any luck finding any references that might help me withthis problem. I keep thinking of nesting execute() calls, but thatdoesn't work.I'm open to questions, potential solutions, hints about different wayto approach the problem, anything.Many thanks in advance,Rick Caborn

I have a problem selecting maximum values inside a data flow, when the field is varchar. For example, I could have an incoming text file with following rows (the real life problem is a bit more complicated, but the idea is the same)
ID Desc
1 Car
1 Truck
1 Bicycle
2 Horse
2 Cow
Now I would like to group by ID, and have the maximum value from the Desc field, resulting
ID Desc
1 Truck
2 Horse
I tried to sort the data flow first with ID ascending and Desc descending, followed by sort with ID ascending and "Remove duplicate sort values" turned on. However, the sort does not seem to select the first Desc value it gets, because the result is.
ID Desc
1 Bicycle
2 Horse

How come no matter what I do SQL server always truncates my dates when they are saved to the database? I save a complete date like 1/1/1900 6:13:42 and no matter what I do it always truncates the seconds off of all my dates, so I always get 1/1/1900 6:13:00. It makes no since because when I save the record the seconds are there, but when I pull it back up they are always gone.

I'm importing from a SQL table that has data fields typed as numeric(18,2) and the OLEDB data source component converts the data to integers (as viewed in the data viewer). I've preceeded the column names with (DT_NUMERIC,18,2) with no results. When the data gets saved to a table with the field typed as money, it appends .00. The truncation of pennies (decimal) results in the diminution of the daily results as much as $1,000. How do I pass the pennies through the OLEDB data source component? Is this truncation by default,or is there something I'm missing in the configuration? thanks.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to setup an indicator value for an SSRS report to show green and red values on a report, based on the NRESULT value. The problem I am facing is that I have several different CASE statements that have the same logic, and they are processing just fine. NRESULT is a decimal field, so no conversion should be necessary. I do not know why I am getting the "Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric." error message.
Below is the CASE statement where the error is occurring. It is in the part of the ELSE CASE. The first CASE works just fine when the ELSE CASE is commented out. If I also change the ELSE CASE statement to say "else case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) = '-' then '0'", then it processes fine, too, so it has to be something I am missing something in the check on negative values. I do need the two checks, one for positive and one for negative values, to take place.
case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) <> '-' then --This portion, for checking positive values, of the CASE statement works fine.
CASE WHEN LEFT(ROUND(NRESULT,2),4) between 0.00 and 0.49 THEN '2' --Green
ELSE CASE WHEN LEFT(ROUND(NRESULT,2),4) > 0.49 THEN '0' --Red
ELSE '3' --White
END
END
else case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) = '-' then --This portion, for checking negative values, of the CASE statement is producing the conversion error message.
[code]....
I checked the NRESULT field, and there are not any NULL values in there, either.
I created a stored procedure based custom conflict resolver in SQL 2005, I return the winning result set and also save that result set to a test table to compare the values. The values saved to the test table are correct but some of the values saved as the conflict winter are truncated.
Example a char(3) filed is updated at the subscriber as €˜111€™ and updated at the publisher as €˜222€™, in my custom conflict resolver if I use the value from the subscriber the conflict resolver updates the field as €™11 €˜, if I use the publisher value the conflict resolver updates the field as €™22 €˜. Now the same records is saved to the test table correctly as either €˜111€™ or €˜222€™ depending on the logic I used. So the result set has the correct values, its after the custom conflict resolver is called where the values is somehow truncated. Has anybody run into this before and what steps can I take to avoid this.

Hello,
I have an Excel spreadsheet that contains 100,000 + rows of data. Two of the columns in the spreadsheet are date fields that are sent over in the yyyymmdd format (no separators such as "-" or "/"). I tried converting these fields into dates using the Data Conversion task in SSIS. This doesn't work as it appears that SSIS cannot map a string in the format of yyyymmdd to a valid date. In lieu of this, I have added a Script Component to my transformation which can take the string and convert it to a date value using some Substring() calls on the source yyyymmdd string.
A few questions for the group ...
1. Is this there a more efficient or "better" way of performing this transformation?
2. I can also use OLE DB Command task in my transformation and make a call that might do something like this: select convert(datetime, convert(varchar(10), [@yyyymmddValue])) but how would this perform related to the Script Component task? My guess is that this would be slower since the transformation would make a database call for every record.
3. Are there any plans for the SQL team to make these types of conversions easier to implement in the future? It seems to me that this is a pretty common scenario for integrating date data.
Thanks!

how can i insert a carriage return when i update the field?
say i want to put the following inside a field:
firstline
secondline
how can i update/insert a column to have a return carriage inside it?
UPDATE table SET column = 'firstline secondline'
the reason i want this is because when using a program (Solomon, by microsoft, purchasing software) to grab a field out of the database and when it displays that field in the programs textbox, i want it to be displayed on two separate lines
i tried doing
UPDATE table SET column = 'firstline' + char(13) 'secondline'
but when in the solomon program, it displays an ascii character between firstline and secondline like: firstline||secondline
