Hallo. I need help, how pull out some inquiry string from type "ntext" in MS SQL(it is xml document). Sring has invariable length, in note is always on other position and includes variable text (e.g .:<actionId>xx</actionId>) . Position I can find out by the help of "patindex" but I don't know what then. I tryed to write procedures, but I had trouble with declaration variables (data type). Thanks and sorry for my horrible English.

Hi, I have a table with ntext and image datatype. I did BCP out succesfully but when I try to to BCP in, I am getting error.
----------
Starting copy...
SQLState = 22005, NativeError = 0
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid character value for cast specification
SQLState = 22005, NativeError = 0
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid character value for cast specification
SQLState = 22005, NativeError = 0
------------------
I read somewhere that I can use BULK INSERT with a format file.
Can someone suggest how to BCP in siccesfully or How does the format file looks like for this kind of task?. I am using SQL Server 2000.

Here is my table structure..

Dear experts,
how can i find the ntext datatype columns in a database?
please guide me
What is the max. number of characters in ntext?
Are there any way we can format the output of ntext? Or it will just come out as one long line?
Thanks.
What would be the best process to change the datatype of ntext fields.
I assume just changing the datatype - is not the way to go?
Hi folks,
We have a nice issue here. We are running SQL 2005 Dev edition Service Pack 2 and we are trying to copy the contents of one table in a local sql server database to another table in another database on the same local sql server. We use an oledb source and a sql server destination. The table structure is exactly the same. One column is of the datatype ntext, when we try to load the contents the package will stop with the error:
OnError 11-9-2007 14:38:24 11-9-2007 14:38:24 00:00:00 The attempt to send a row to SQL Server failed with error code 0x80004005.

The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running.

OnError 11-9-2007 14:38:26 11-9-2007 14:38:26 00:00:00 A commit failed.
Removing the column from the sql server destination will result in loading the complete table. Using an oledb destination instead of sql server destination fixes the problem. Is this a bug in the SQL server destination component?
Thanks,

From the SQL Server documentation : "The input parameters and the type returned from a SVF can be any of the scalar
data types supported by SQL Server, except rowversion, text,
ntext, image, timestamp, table, or cursor"This is a problem for me. Here's what I'm trying to do :I have an NTEXT field in one of my tables. I want to run regular expressions on this field, and return the results from a stored procedure. Since SQL Server doesn't provide facilities to perform regular expressions, I need to use an SQLCLR function. I would have no problem doing this if my field was nvarchar. However, this field needs to be variable in length - I cannot set an upper bound. This is why I'm using NTEXT and not nvarchar in the first place.Is there a solution to this problem? I can't imagine that I'm the only person who wants to pass strings of arbitrary size to an SQLCLR function.
Hi, I've read conflicting articles on updating an ntext field in acolumn.My ntext field will exceed 8,000 characters (typically twice that size-- but just a text string).One article (I think from MicroSoft) said you could NOT use ntext inan UPDATE statement, but I've seen examples from other people usingit...but don't know if it's related to the size/characters issue.Is this true or not?Thanks very much...Kathy

I am running this query to an sql server 2000 database from my aspcode:"select * from MyTable whereMySqlServerRemoveStressFunction(MyNtextColumn) = '" &MyAdoRemoveStressFunction(MyString) & "'"The problem is that the replace function doesn't work with the ntextdatatype (so as to replace the stresses with an empty string). I hadto implement the MySqlServerRemoveStressFunction, i.e. a function thattakes a column name as a parameter and returns the text contained inthis column having replaced some letters of the text (the letters withstress). Unfortunately, I could not do that because user-definedfunctions cannot return a value of ntext.So I have the following idea:"select * from MyTable whereCheckIfTheyAreEqualIngoringTheStesses(MyNtextColum n, '" & MyString &"')"How can I implement the CheckIfTheyAreEqualIngoringTheStessesfunction? (I don't know how to combine these functions to do what Iwant: TEXTPTR, UPDATETEXT, WRITETEXT, READTEXT)

Good afternoon,
I have an issue with an ssis variable datatype.
The scenario is as follows:
I have a stored procedure:
PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_newTransaction]
@sourceSystem varchar(50),
@txOut NUMERIC(18,0) OUTPUT
AS
insert into scn_transaction (sourceSystemName) values(@sourceSystem);
SELECT @txOut = @@identity
Whose purpose is to perform an insert into a table and return me the identity value of the inserted record, which I'll then use throughout the rest of my package. The identity column in the inserted table is numeric(18,0).
I execute the stored proc with the following sql with an OLE DB connection manager:
exec sp_newTransaction ?, ?
The first parameter is a string variable from earlier in the package, and the second is the output parameter. I have the following parameter mappings to the execute sql task:
User:ystxId output numeric 1 -1
User:ourceSys input varchar 0 -1
The proc is correctly called, and the row insesrted, however I get a type conversion error when SSIS attempts to map the return parameter to my package variable... I've tried all sorts of combonations, and can't seem to get it to execute.
At one point I wasn't returning a numeric, but rather an int from the stored proc, and all was well until I went to use the variable in a derived column later in the package, and the type was converted quite incorrectly (a 1 was 77799789080 or some such), indicating a type conversion error likely related to the encoding of the number.
I'd like to keep the datatypes as numeric and make ssis use those - any pointers are greatly appreciated as to what type my package variable should be to allow proper assignment of a sql server numeric type to it.
Thanks much,
B

I have a field in a table that stores date of birth. The field's datatype is char(6) and looks like this: 091703 (mmddyy). I want to convert this value to a datetime datatype.
What is the syntax to convert char(6) to datetime?
Thank you in advance.
Hi,
I imported a table from Accees to SQL 7 with data in it.
I need to modify one of the datatype columns to "datetime" from nvarchar.
I tried to convert it manually, in SQL Server Enterprise Manager tool, but it gave me an error.
I also tried, creating another column "DATE2-datatype:datetime" and updating the column with the old one.
UPDATE users SET DATE2 = DATE.. But it also faild,..
How can I modify the column?
Thank you.
HI,I have a table with IDENTITY column with the datatype as INTEGER. Nowthis table record count is almost reaching its limt. that is totalrecord count is almost near to 2^31-1. It will reach the limit with inanother one or two months.In order to avoid the arithmentic overflow error 8115, we would likechange the datatype from INT to BIGINT. we hope this will solve ourproblem.How do I approch this datatype conversion?. Since the data count ishuge, that leads to a long down time of database.we need better approach or solution for this problem?. kindly give mea better solution that will reduce the total downtime of the productiondatabase.?.Regards

I wonder if I should do something to the data I store on ntext fields
so far it looks like it has no problem holding special chracters (as it should B for unicode)
anyway - is there some combinations I should avoid ?
Should I use something like on old ASP Server.URLEncode() or Server.HTMLEncode() ?
hi all,
I am new to sql server.
I need some help regarding ntext value.I am using an insert stored proc to insert the value into ntext field, till now i have been using a varchar variable to pass the value. but i think this doesn't work when the size exceeds the limit of varchar and also what if i want to perform group insert?
and the major issue i am concerned about is, i don't want to update this field quite often.I need to check whether the existing ntext value and the new value which i want to insert are different.I want to do it in a better way than processing both values entirely.I want to make sure that the update statement is executed only when both values differ.

I am working in asp and using sql server 7. I have a section where the input is to long to use a char field so i had to set the field as ntext. Now i am trying to do a section where i wanna look and see if the field is null and if not then it is to perform an operation. If it is null it is to skip and go to the next field in the record. However it is not performing this operation. It sees the first field and does pass the second one because it is null. If i put in a character into the field it will go on until it gets to a null again and then stops. Any suggestions?

Hello All,
Maybe a stupid question but I'm new to the db admin work so please bear with me.
I've imported an Access db into SQL, in the Access db the field type was 'memo' to accomodate the large amount of text (on avg ruffly 4100 chars. with spaces). Now in SQL the field in the table I have set up as an ntext field, which I understood to be equivalent to a memo field in Access.
My problem is when saving data to the field the first time it saves all the data correctly with the exception of the field in question. The data in the field is '<LongText>', now when I try to update the data in the table I get a 'Data Truncated' error message and no update takes place throughout the table.
After testing this and trying different things, I've found that if I shorten this one field and try to save to the db I still get the 'Data Truncated' error message. If I shorten the data in the field AND delete the record from the SQL table then it will save just fine from there on out (which won't work for the reports).
I'm not sure what I'm missing here to get this to work the way it did in Access.

Even you learn 1%, Learn it with 100% confidence.
Hi all,I have an asp page that writes to an ntext field in SQL Server 2000.All was going well until I had to put in a section of text greater than 8000bytes.Then I got a timeout error and the update wouldn't go through.After reading that 2000 only accepts chunks of 8000 bytes or under at atime, I attempted to use the AppendChunk method.The code I wrote seems to work first time I enter text in the page, nomatter how big. But when I try to update the ntext file,if it is more than 8K, it just sits there and nothing happens. Now I donteven get a timeout error.From what I read, I was assured this would work.For small text files under 8K it works beautifully, I can add and removetext and it all works fast.But as soon as the ntext field gets beyond that size its totally unworkable,and seems to be just the same as using the standard UPDATE method. I'veattached the code.If anyone has any suggestions I would be eternally grateful, this is drivingme nuts. I've attached the offending code.ThanksBill' ***********************************************' * PageStatus: SAVE Action: EDIT *' ***********************************************IF PageStatus = "SAVE" AND Action = "EDIT" THENsqlc = "SELECT * from " & tblNameDim FldValDim rsSet rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")rs.cursortype = 1rs.cursorlocation = 3rs.locktype = 3rs.Open sqlc, oConniChunk = 254cTxtDescription = SQLReady(FileUp.Form(lang))For iNo = 1 to len(cTxtDescription) step iChunkiStartAt = iNocWorkString = mid(cTxtDescription, iStartAt , iChunk )Response.Write "At byte " & iNo & vbCRLF & "<br/>"rs.Fields("SimpleChinese").AppendChunk(cWorkString)NextIF Page_Err = "OK" THEN' Perform the Queryrs.Updaters.CloseSet rs = NothingSet oConn = NothingEND IFEND IF
