Thank you for taking the time to read this, I need all the advise and help I can get on this ... so please post anything you think would work ... A little confused I am:
Have a database table called "people" with "person name" and "ID" field. My ASP.NET application mainly stores articles in article table. An article's Article text mentions various people's names in different combinations (e.g. John, Smith, John Smith, Smith John, etc)
Is there any way, I could compare the article text stored in article table with people table and get the people from people table along with their ID's who have been mentioned in that article? ... so in an article "i love john smith ... and i think Mr smith has always been helpful", I get John Smith back...
Not too sure being honest, what is the best way of implementing this, looking for the most efficient way, probably using XML? SQL Query or may be ASP.NET's code behind?
This is a question concerning query optimisation. Sorry if it's a bit long,but thanks to anyone who has the patience to help - This is my first posthere...If I have two tables: 'tblContact' and 'tblCategory' where categories arelike:Code Name010101 Short010102 Fat010103 StupidThe junction table 'tblConCat' has fields CctConID, CctCatCode to tell mewhich contacts have which category codes. These are nchar(6) fields, if itmakes any difference.If I need to find all people who are short, fat and stupid I can see twoways:Solution One:SELECT tblContact.* FROM tblContact WHEREConID IN (SELECT CctConID FROM tblConCat WHERE CctCatCode='010101') ANDConID IN (SELECT CctConID FROM tblConCat WHERE CctCatCode='010102') ANDConID IN (SELECT CctConID FROM tblConCat WHERE CctCatCode='010103')Solution Two:Build a helper table which contains the codes I'm looking forSELECT tblContact.* FROM tblContactWHERE ConID IN(SELECT CctConIDFROM tblConCat INNER JOIN tblHelperON tblConCat.CctCatCode = tblHelper.HlpCatCodeGROUP BY CctConID HAVING Count(*)=3)I have tried them both out and although I looked at the query analyzer itprovided more information than I knew what to do with. In practise theyboth provide similar working times (I wait about a second) but I thought thefirst looked rather inefficient and thought my helper table might help.There are about 30,000 contact records, 180 category records and 120,000junction table records.All I am looking for comments on any pros and cons of these two approaches -does one look that bad? The database was migrated from Access where thehelper table really did help, but using SQL Server I might not need it.Thanks again, if you got this far!
I have created a database which has a table whose name is 128 characters long; this table has a column whose name is 128 characters long. When I issue the command sp_helpconstraint table_name, SQL Server 7 returns the message "string or binary data would be truncated."
I need to setup a script to read all the table names in the database above and then query the database to find the list of Stored Procedure using each table.(SQL Server)
Im a programmer for an university webportal which uses php and msssql. When an user creates a new entry and his text is too long the entry is cut short and weird characters appear at the end of the entry.
For example: http://www.ttz.uni-magdeburg.de/scripts/test-messedb/php/index.php?option=show_presse&funktion=presse_show_mitteilung&id=333
How can I set the text limit to unlimited? Could it be something else? Is there a way of splitting an entry to several text fields automatically?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me, Chris
Hi,I have a problem to insert(update) a long text (more than 64K) intoSQL 2000 (datatype - 'text'). It cuts the data and insert only 64K.MSDN says: "When the ntext, text, and image data values get larger,however, they must be handled on a block-by-block basis. BothTransact-SQL and the database APIs contain functions that allow applications towork with ntext, text, and image data block by block." Could somebodygive me an example how to do this, please.Thank you
I'm getting a rule check fail "Long path names to files on SQL Server Installation media failed" when installing SQL 2012 Standard edition from a network share.
I'm posting this in the ClickOnce forums as well...
My application doesn't include the .mdf and .ldf files, rather it creates the database the first time the application is run using a script that is included in the build. I want to create the database in the ClickOnce data directory. The problem I'm having is that SQL Server complains when I execute the CREATE DATABASE command as follows:
CREATE DATABASE [C:Documents and SettingsxxxxxLocal SettingsApps2.0DataPQCK6EXN.5KGAW630RPT.VGOifie..tion_014028c05b1d6ec6_0001.0002_0e86966f19503c89DataiFieldMobile.mdf] ON PRIMARY ( NAME = N'myDatabase', FILENAME = N'C:Documents and SettingsxxxxxxLocal SettingsApps2.0DataPQCK6EXN.5KGAW630RPT.VGOifie..tion_014028c05b1d6ec6_0001.0002_0e86966f19503c89DatamyDatabase.mdf' , SIZE = 3136KB , MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH = 1024KB ) LOG ON ( NAME = N'myDatabase_log', FILENAME = N'C:Documents and SettingsxxxxLocal SettingsApps2.0DataPQCK6EXN.5KGAW630RPT.VGOifie..tion_014028c05b1d6ec6_0001.0002_0e86966f19503c89DatamyDatabase_log.ldf' , SIZE = 1024KB , MAXSIZE = 2048GB , FILEGROWTH = 10%) END
Here's the error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException "The identifier that starts with 'C:Documents and SettingsxxxxxxLocal SettingsApps2.0DataPQCK6EXN.5KGAW630RPT.VGOifie..tion_014028c05b1d6ec6_0001.00' is too long. Maximum length is 128."
I need to find out how long my SQL Server has been running and I believe that there is a way of obtaining this info by querying a system table (or executing a procedure).
I have a sample view with some dates. How would you find the numbers of items open per month. Say between OpenDate and CloseDate I want to find how many were open for January, February,?
To find parameter names In ASP.Net 2.0, how can I get what parameters defined in an rdl report file? I know the report name and the report is deployed to a server.
I have a challenge and am not very versed with coding this situation. The situation is I am trying to put long text (more that 255 char) in a ntext field in SQL7, but the max char can input is only 255. Anyone can advice on how to put in more that 255 char in a field as well as how to select back the record whice more than 255 char.
Please give advice if you encounter this problem before.
Anyone have same sample on how to put in and retrive long text (more then 255 characters). Please Comment.

You should use readtext and writetext to access text column. By the way, nchar and nvarchar can hold up to 4000 characteres.

How long exactly is the text datatype in non-unicode characters for SQLS7? I guess I need to find out how long my input is and break it up into multiple text fields, but what's the max length?
I have tranferred my database from Access to SQL. In some cases where there is a very long text in the field of "content" (thats the name of the field) appears the sign <Long Text> while in some other fieldsof the "content" the text appears normally...
I have used ntext 16 as a datatype... How can i dissapear this sign from the field...is there any way?? Thank you
Hi all, I need a favour from you... can i do a list to find out the table names used by a stored procedure. remember it's around 700 Stored Procedures. and following a rule <databasename>.dbo.<tablename>
I have a textbox field that take 2000 characters from user..Then I used a store procedure to save that user input into database through an insert statement, but for some reason it just never store the whole string of 2000 characters but only store some of it (like 100 or something) .. Seems like a data type problem…(I am using SQL server 2000)
i have a table in sql server, i want to insert a long text for a field. that long text like a file's text.please tell me what is the data type for that field. i tired ntext and text data type but i cant insert long text values. reply me if u have answer
I have a database table that is populated by bulk insert of a text file. This file is not comma delimetated and there are no line end characters, just one very long string, although the file is fixed length.
As I said I now have this long string in my SQL Server 2005 table. Is there a fast way to split this up into multiple rows?
Say for instance I have a string of 100 characters and each row would be made up of 10 characters. Is there a easy way to split this into the 10 rows or 10 characters using just a SQL statement?
Newbie here, just wanted to get that out of the way first and foremost.
Im trying to set up a DB in SQL 2000 that allows me to enter lots of text into a column.
I read one site where it said to use the NTText datatype with a length of 16. I did that, but everytime I enter alot of text into that column I get <Long Text> and I dont know how to output that or even read it.
Do any of you guys know how to either:
1. get the text out of the <long text> or 2. a better way to store that much data.
Hi,I asked this in an MS Access newsgroup, but no one has answered. Since italso applies to SQL Server, maybe someone in here has an answer? I actuallydo have the same problem in both SQL Server 2000 and Access 2000.When I click in certain records in a memo field, I get the error message"text too long to be edited", and I can't get into the record to make anychanges.I tried exporting the record to html, but only part of the memo field isexported.I know that in SQL Server, you can increase the size of the field, but youcan't do that in an Access memo field (that I know of!).I'm thinking that if I could get into the field and lose some of the whitespace, it would help, but I can't get into the field, and can't get the dataout, either!Does anyone know anything about this?Thanks, Jill~

Hi DBAs, I am very new in SQL server. I created a table where one column is varchar(8000). But when I am trying to insert value from enterprise manager this column cann't accept a long text value.

Hey Guys I knwo this may sound impossible but lets say I have a number of fields one of which is a Long blob or long text
is there a way to have MYSQL search the blobs for keywords and then to extract them to other fields? basically what I am asking is it possible to parse a long text blob for keywords and then grab data before or after those keywords?/
I know that similar items have been posted before but I have not found a solution to my issue by reading them.
I have a text field which holds amendment details and it cannot be updated through QA. I have 50 records which I have had to manually update through Enterprise Manager. I have been able to edit the amendment details field of 48 of these records. However for 2 records the amendment details field contains <long text> and as we all know, there does not seem to be an easy way to edit these. Before I give up for good, does anyone have any suggestions? Help much appreciated.
I have a question that has a co-worker and myself confused. We are using the SQL Server Enterprise Manager. When I select return all rows in my tables, any content that is too long will appear as <Long Text> on my co-workers machine, but the column is blank on my machine. Is there a property or configuration that enables/disables <Long Text>? I am confused as to why it appears on other machines, but not mine.
