Error In Query; Invalid Length Parameter Passed To The Substring Function
Nov 28, 2005
Hi
i got errro mess "Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function" from this below. Anyone how can give me a hint what cause this, and how i can solve it? if i remove whats whitin thoose [] it works, i dont use [] in the code :)
colums:
VLF_InfectionDestination is nvarchar 254
SELECT TOP 10 tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName, COUNT(tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName) AS number
FROM tb_AVVirusLog INNER JOIN
__CustomerMachines002 ON tb_AVVirusLog.CLF_ComputerName = __CustomerMachines002.FalseName
WHERE (CONVERT(varchar, tb_AVVirusLog.CLF_LogGenerationTime, 120) BETWEEN @fyear + @fmonth + @fday AND @tyear + @tmonth + @tday) AND
(__CustomerMachines002.folder_id = @folderId) [OR
(CONVERT(varchar, tb_AVVirusLog.CLF_LogGenerationTime, 120) BETWEEN @fyear + @fmonth + @fday AND @tyear + @tmonth + @tday) AND
(tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_InfectionDestination LIKE N'%@%')]
GROUP BY tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName
HAVING (NOT (tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName LIKE N'cookie'))
ORDER BY COUNT(tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName) DESC
I am using a simple procedure to pivot results (found in another forum and adapted it). It is done on SQL Server 2005 server with all service packs. Procedure: ************** ALTER Procedure [dbo].[EthnicityPivot] @StDate as Datetime, @EndDate as Datetime as begin DECLARE @Teams varchar(2000)
truncate table ForEthnicPivot
INSERT INTO ForEthnicPivot SELECT DISTINCT COUNT(ID), Team, Ethnicity FROM dbo._EthnicityByTeamEpisode where Startdate between @StDate and @EndDate GROUP BY Ethnicity, Team
SET @Teams = '' --// Get a list of the pivot columns that are important to you.
SELECT @Teams = @Teams + '[' + Team + '],' FROM (SELECT Distinct Team FROM ForEthnicPivot) Team --// Remove the trailing comma
SET @Teams = LEFT(@Teams, LEN(@Teams)-1) --// Now execute the Select with the PIVOT and dynamically add the list --// of dates for the columns EXEC( 'SELECT * FROM ForEthnicPivot PIVOT (SUM(countID) FOR Team IN (' + @Teams + ')) AS X' ) end ************
I can call the function: exec EthnicityPivot '01/01/2007','09/09/2007'
and it works fine in SQL analyzer, but when I want to use it in Visual Studio in a new report I am getting this error message:
There is an error in the query. Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function. Incorrect syntax near ')'.
An application I developed normally works great, but it seems that when processing a certian record (and none of the others so far), SQL Server throws this error: "Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function."

The SqlDataReader (orderReader) doesn't blow up or anything until I call .Read() (and, as mentioned, this problem only occurs for one order). What could be happening here?
select substring(ISNULL(CAST(FullAdress AS NVARCHAR(MAX)),''),1,charindex(',',ISNULL(CAST(FullAdress AS NVARCHAR(MAX)),''))-1) from tbl_lrf_company_details_with_codes

Hi, I am new at sql 2000 and 2005, I have created a package in 2005 which I am trying to execute on a daily bases by creating a job. At first because of security issues the job would not execute. Hence, I had to create a credential and a proxy to run the job with sa account. Now it is giving me this error, ��SQLServer Error: 536, Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function. �� Through research I have no clue as what I need to do, or where to look. The package runs without error when I execute the package itself. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lori
I have the follwoing stored procedure:ALTER procedure [dbo].[up_GetExecutionContext](@ExecutionGUID int = null) asbeginset nocount ondeclare@s varchar(500)declare @i intset @s = ''select @s = @s + EventType + ','-- Dynamically build the list ofeventsfrom(select distinct top 100 percent [event] as EventTypefrom dbo.PackageStepwhere (@ExecutionGUID is null or PackageStep.packagerunid =@ExecutionGUID)order by 1) as xset @i = len(@s)select case @iwhen 500 then left(@s, @i - 3) + '...'-- If string is too long thenterminate with '...'else left(@s, @i - 1) -- else just remove the final commaend as 'Context'set nocount offend --procedureGOWhen I run this and pass in a value of NULL, things work fine. When Ipass in an actual value (i.e. 15198), I get the following message:Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function.There is no SUBSTRING being used anywhere in the query and thedatatypes look okay to me.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!!

This get me this error.... so what is the max allowable length of substring function.
Server: Msg 536, Level 16, State 3, Line 1 Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function. The statement has been terminated. Thanks Al
I'm trying to create a function that splits up a column by spaces, andI thought creating a function that finds the spaces with CHARINDEX andthen SUBSTRING on those values would an approach. I get an errorsaying that the I have an Invalid column 'Course_Number'. Not surewhy but I am very new to User Defined Functions. Here is what I haveso far:CREATE FUNCTION CourseEvalBreakdown(@fskey int)RETURNS @CourseTable TABLE(Col CHAR(2),Area CHAR(4),Number CHAR(4),Section CHAR(4),Term CHAR(3))ASBEGINDECLARE@Ind1 tinyint,@Ind2 tinyint,@Rows intDECLARE @crstbl TABLE (FStaffKey int,Course_Number char(20),Term char(3),Col char(2),Area char(4),Number char(4),Section char(3))INSERT INTO @crstbl (FStaffKey, Course_Number, Term)SELECT FStaffKey, Course_Number, TermFROM EvalWHERE FStaffKey = @fskeySET @Rows = @@rowcountWHILE @Rows 0BEGINSET @Ind1 = CHARINDEX(' ', Course_Number, 4)SET @Ind2 = CHARINDEX(' ',Course_Number, (CHARINDEX(' ',Course_Number, 4)+1))UPDATE @crstblSET Col = SUBSTRING(Course_Number, 1, 2)WHERE FStaffKey = @fskeyUPDATE @crstblSET Area = UPPER(SUBSTRING(Course_Number, 4, @Ind1-4))WHERE FStaffKey = @fskeyUPDATE @crstblSET Number = UPPER(SUBSTRING(Course_Number, @Ind1+1, (@Ind2-@Ind1)-1))WHERE FStaffKey = @fskeyUPDATE @crstblSET Section = SUBSTRING(Course_Number, @Ind2+1, 3)WHERE FStaffKey = @fskeyENDINSERT @CourseTableSELECT Col, Area, Number, Section, Term FROM @crstblRETURNENDGO
I have a ##temp table which collects command (varchar(120)) info from sysjobsteps table as follows: command ------------------------------ BACKUP DATABASE FDMS_11111_2 To Backup_11111_2_4Thu with init, name = 'Backup of Job_11111_2_4Thu'
Now, I need to extract the database name from the command string: It did return the correct database name but ended with error message.
select substring(command, 17, charindex(' To Backup_',Command)-17) from ##tempServerNameDatabaseNameJobHistory
I have a procedure that calls a SVF to convert an xmldocument. The ultimate purpose is to update the xml in a column in a multi-million row table. The xml is stored as varchar(MAX), it was supposed to carry any type of text, initially at least.
My question is: why is the xml-parsing performed inside the function much slower when i pass the xmldocument as type xml than when it is passed as varchar(MAX) and the CAST to xml is within the function? Does processing the xml input parameter in SlowFunction involve expensive crossing of some context border?
The two versions of the SVF (they return the rowcount in this simplified example):
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[FastFunction] ( @inDetaljerText varchar(MAX) ) RETURNS int
[Code] ....
The two versions of the SP
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[FastProcedure] AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON; select dbo.FastFunction(al.Detaljer)
Hi All, We have transactional replication between two SQL Server 2000, SP4 and database is in simple recovery. Occassionally Logreader agent fails with error 9003 (The LSN (164051:119090:22) passed to log scan in database 'ReportDB' is invalid). But in April 2007 this error has occurred multiple times. We have opened the case with PSS in April 2007 but till now there is no concrete solution.
Error details in ErrorLog: 2007-04-24 16:49:09.79 spid59 Error: 9003, Severity: 20, State: 1 2007-04-24 16:49:09.79 spid59 The LSN (164051:119090:22) passed to log scan in database 'ReportDB' is invalid.. Error details in Log reader agent: Repl Agent Status: 3 Publisher: {call sp_repldone ( 0x000280d30001d1320016, 0x000280d30001d1320016, 0, 0)} Publisher: {call sp_replcmds (100, 0)} Status: 0, code: 0, text: 'The process could not execute 'sp_replcmds' on 'BR14D135R17'.'. The process could not execute 'sp_replcmds' on 'BR14D135R17'. Repl Agent Status: 6 Status: 0, code: 9003, text: 'The LSN (164051:119090:22) passed to log scan in database 'ReportDB' is invalid.'.
From above error details it can be seen that sp_repldone is already called for LSN 164051:119090:22 (0x000280d30001d1320016) which means it is distributed. Since LSN is distributed, transaction log of publisher for that LSN can be truncated by checkpoint process. And afterward if logreader issues sp_replcmds for that LSN, we will get 9003 error. So, question is why Logreader is looking for LSN if that is already distributed. When checked "DBCC Opentran", it also reflect oldest distributed LSN as 164051:119090:22.
We tried changing the recovery model to FULL but that has only delayed the occurrence. Once we have noticed that LSN mentioned in Error 9003 was already backed up one day before. And we don't think replication latency to be more than 3 hrs (maximum).
After PSS recommendation, we have applied the hotfix 2187 but error has occurred again after one month. Other recommendation is to disable read cache of hardware controller to avoid stale read(that we are working on). Current setting is 100% read and 0% Write.

Please let me know if you have faced such issue and have any idea on this problem.
I am new to sql and very familiar with access. I am using a verylarge database(130M records) in ms sql2000 and think I need to frontend it with access for reports and forms, etc..I have some questions:1) Is there a way in SQL to prompt a user for input at the running ofa query like the [what is your name] construct in an access query?2) I can't seem to create calculated fields in a view in sql. Inaccess I put "total:=hours*rate" and a new column would be createdwhich would contain the total.3) I normally would create a form in access from which the accessqueries would pull their variables and then insert those variables inthe queries or reports, etc. How would this be accomplished usingsql.4) Lastly and probably most basic. How does a "real" sql developercreate reports and forms to interact with the enduser? I am usingaccess as a front end, but am open to suggestions.Thanks,Brad
but when I use following - 3) select name, datalength(Name), charindex('_2_', Name), substring(name, 5, charindex('_2_', Name) - 3) from msdb.sysjobs.name
I get the result I want (last column): Job_4927_2_7Sun 30 9 4927_2 Job_250144_2_6Sat 34 11 250144_2 Job_30197_2_1Mon 32 10 30197_2
but also with an error: Server: Msg 536, Level 16, State 3, Line 1 Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function.
when i tried to run a DTS which transfer bulk data between 2 SQL servers, i got following error message: ================================================== ============ Error: -2147467259 (80004005); Provider Error: 4815 (12CF) Error string: Received invalid column length from bcp client. Error source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server Help file: Help context: 0 ================================================== ===========
if anybody has encounter the same problem before? after testing, i think it's must related with network traffic problem. but i can not figure out how to solve it.
I am not sure about the architecture of the Issue Tracker and hence not sure if it applies here. But I will post in any case and wait for users on this forums comments as well.
===========Earlier post================== This question is regarding the architecture of TimeEntry. In some programs it builds an arrayList for Master-detail type of relationship and when user is ready to save it by clicking 'submit' it build a variable with pipe delimited fields. This is then passed to a sql query.
This to me does not seem to be an efficient manner. Because the max character is 1500 chars as parameter to SQL query.
I was wondering if instead I could store it as an XML and then use the XML to import in to SQL.
Any ideas is greatly appreciated, I am running in to problems where my variable construct does increase to more than 1500 chars. Any thoughts are much appreciated in this regards.
I'm using a substring expression in a Derived Column transformation to create a new column (string data) out of a segment of another. The length of the new column data is calculated at run time based on the contents of other columns, and under some circumstances may be zero.
Is this kocher, or will it lead to 'unpredictable' results? Coz unexpected results is what I'm getting, not in the row concerned, but in the rows following......
is there any way or a tool to identify if in procedure the Parameter length was declarated less than table Column length ..
I have a table
CREATE TABLE TEST001 (KeyName Varchar(100) ) a procedure CREATE PROCEDURE SpFindNames ( @KeyName VARCHAR(40) ) AS BEGIN SELECT KeyName FROM TEST001 WHERE KeyName = @KeyName END KeyName = @KeyName
Here table Column with 100 char length "KeyName" was compared with SP parameter "@KeyName" with length 40 char ..
IS there any way to find out all such usage on the ALL Procedures in the Database ?
I am running SQL 7 Svc Pack 2 on TN 4.0 Svc Pack 6a.
I am getting the following error when opening up a DTS package on my SQL Server from EM on my workstation. If I open it up on the server by using pcanywhere the package opens fine. Ther error is a dialogue box stating:
Package Error
Error Source:Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package Error Description: The Parameter is incorrect.
Has anyone seen this. I get nothing in the event log or SQL logs. I can't seem to figure this one out.
Hello, since a couple of days I'm fighting with RS 2005 and the Stored Procedure.
I have to display the result of a parameterized query and I created a SP that based in the parameter does something:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON CREATE PROCEDURE [schema].[spCreateReportTest] @Name nvarchar(20)= ''
AS BEGIN
declare @slqSelectQuery nvarchar(MAX);
SET NOCOUNT ON set @slqSelectQuery = N'SELECT field1,field2,field3 from table' if (@Name <> '') begin set @slqSelectQuery = @slqSelectQuery + ' where field2=''' + @Name + '''' end EXEC sp_executesql @slqSelectQuery end
Inside my business Intelligence Project I created: -the shared data source with the connection String - a data set : CommandType = Stored Procedure Query String = schema.spCreateReportTest When I run the Query by mean of the "!" icon, the parameter is Prompted and based on the value I provide the proper result set is displayed.
Now I move to "Layout" and my undertanding is that I have to create a report Paramater which values is passed to the SP's parameter... So inside"Layout" tab, I added the parameter: Name allow blank value is checked and is non-queried
the problem is that when I move to Preview -> I set the value into the parameter field automatically created but when I click on "View Report" nothing has been generated!!
While trying to execute the below query I get an error "Invalid Paramter Binding.
SELECT RELEASE_CYCLES.RCYC_NAME+' : '+ CYCL_FOLD.CF_ITEM_NAME /*Test Set Folder (CYCLE).Name*/ as "Cycle Name : Test Component", SUM(case when t3.status='Passed' then 1 else 0 end) "Passed", SUM(case when t3.status='Failed' then 1 else 0 end) "Failed", SUM(case when t3.status='Not Completed' then 1 else 0 end) "Not Completed", SUM(case when t3.status='No Run' then 1 else 0 end) "No Run", SUM(case when t3.status in ('Passed','Failed','Not Completed','No Run') then 1 else 0 end) "Total",
FYI. Perhaps I missed it on the Fix List, but applying SP3 to my Win2K Professional workstation w/ SQL Server 7 Desktop Edition remedied a chronic error I'd been receiving when trying to open a pre-existing DTS package which resided on other servers. For weeks, no matter what I've tried, I've been getting a message box saying "Invalid Paramter". (I didn't go as far as an uninstall / re-install, but I did about everything short of that.) After applying SP3, the DTS packages open up easily.
The subject pretty much sums the problem up. I am trying to get a database installed on Server 2008 RC0. The public information says SQL 2005 SP2 should work, but I cannot get the base SQL 2005 installed in order to apply the service pack. When I run the installation, I immediately get an error when trying to install the pre-requisites. Specifically, the .NET 2.0 Framework errors with code 87, "invalid parameter".
I have found a couple references to this error code, but nothing to do with Server 2008 and RC0. I have tried using a directory with no spaces, and tried the EXE vs ISO installation, but they everything fails. I don't know if there is a way to bypass the .NET 2.0 Framework install - since it's already on the machine anyway.
Hi all, mister I want create a function but I get this error: Error Invalid use of side-effecting or time-dependent operator in 'EXECUTE STRING' within a function
I think in a function, cannot use temp tables, or calling exec or store procedures.
Which is the best solution for my issue ? develop store procedure ??
