Select Several Values Into A Single Variable
May 11, 2006Can somebody please tell me whether the following syntax is supportedor whether it's a "feature" that will someday stop working. It works inboth SQL Server 2000 and 2005 at the moment.declare @var varchar(1000)set @var = ''select @var = @var + colx from some_table where col1 = some_valuecolx is a varchar or at least is cast to one as part of the selectstatement. If the where clause would normally return more than one row,all returned values for colx are concatenated into @var.I've not seen this syntax before but that doesn't make it wrong ;-)Malc.

Dec 3, 2003I was having some issues with converting this @BeginDate(which is passed in as a datetime) correctly and someone suggested the syntax below. It enloses it in triple single quotes. That seemed to work, but it also seems to work with single quotes too. Can someone explain the use of triple single quotes in stored procedures?

Single Quotes And Parameters
Dec 17, 2003Help please! I have a problem with passing quotes in a parameter. I am using asp.net (vb) passing a parameter to a stored procedure.
Here is an example of the parameter I am passing from the asp page.
strIndexFilesFound = " 'file1.pdf', 'file2.pdf' "
.......Parameters("@IndexFilesFound").Value = strIndexFilesFound
And the Procedure parts
...
@IndexFilesFound char(100) = ''
....
WHERE IndexFile IN(@IndexFilesFound)
The result should be that the where query receives the data like this.
WHERE IndexFile IN ('file1.pdf', 'file2.pdf')
The number of files passed is unknown for any given query.
Much Thanks!
Single Quote Becoming Two Quotes
Jan 18, 2001I have 2 SQL 6.5 databases on separate servers. Server A replicates a text field into a table on server B.
On server A the field contains text similar to THIS IS FRED'S HOUSE. After replication to Server B it looks like THIS IS FRED''S HOUSE. The distribution database also has it as THIS IS FRED''S HOUSE. Using ODBC trace I cannot see the value being passed in the text field as it is displayed as a question mark e.g. ?.
How do I fix the problem ?
Thanks

Trouble With Single Quotes
May 3, 2004Hello Everyone!
I am having a problem with updating a password within a table. Below is the old and new password that needs to be updated.
Old2"3("-"3#@(%P="''_DD@D*
New :"I+)#]*1#E,%R-''7^,TEA$X&^O_-68DIK,@
Below is the query that I am trying to run. I believe my problem is becuase of the Single Quotes found within both the old and new password.
I have tried to escape the single quotes, @local_variable, CHAR(39) and other ways of playing with the string. I cannot seem to find a solution.
If you were to ignore the update statement, the SELECT statement would return no results even though the PRINT statement displays the required data.
This is what baffles me and why I cannot run the UPDATE statement, becuase of course, nothing would be updated since no results were returned.
Can anyone offer their assistance?
Thank you in advance.

How To INSERT Text That Contains Single Quotes?
Nov 7, 2006When users enter text into a textbox, to be INSERTed into my table, SQL Server throws an error if their text contains a single quote.
For example, if they enter "It's great!" then it causes this error:Error: Incorrect syntax near 's'. Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ''.
How can I allow text with single quotes to be inserted into the table?
Here's my code:
string strInsert = "INSERT INTO [Comments] ([GameID], [UserID], [Comment]) VALUES (@GameID, @UserID, @Comment)";
SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(<<myconnectionstuff>>);SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand(strInsert, myConnection);
myCommand.Parameters.Add( "@GameID", Request.QueryString["GameID"] );myCommand.Parameters.Add( "@UserID", (string)Session["UserID"] );myCommand.Parameters.Add( "@Comment", ThisUserCommentTextBox.Text );
try {myCommand.Connection.Open();myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();}
catch (SqlException ex) {ErrorLabel.Text = "Error: " + ex.Message;}
finally {myCommand.Connection.Close();}
How To INSERT A String That Contains Single-quotes?

Here's the error I get when I try this code in SQL Server:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1Incorrect syntax near 's'.Msg 105, Level 15, State 1, Line 1Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ''.
I need to know how I can insert a string such as 'it's great' - how do I deal with the extra quotes issue? is there a way to ecape it like this 'it/'s great' ? This doesn't seem to work.
Here's the code that generates the SQL. I'm using a FCKeditor box instead of a TextBox, but I got the same error when I was using the TextBox:
string strUpdate = "UPDATE Comments SET Comment='";strUpdate = strUpdate + FCKeditor1.Value;//strUpdate = strUpdate + ThisUserCommentTextBox.Text;strUpdate = strUpdate + "' WHERE UserID='";strUpdate = strUpdate + (string)Session["UserID"];strUpdate = strUpdate + "'";strUpdate = strUpdate + " AND GameID='";strUpdate = strUpdate + Request.QueryString["GameID"];strUpdate = strUpdate + "'";

Dynamic SQL - Single Quotes In String
Dec 14, 2005I'm constructing a SQL string that needs single quotes in the WHERE clause. How do I encapsulate them in a string variable. I looked into ESCAPE and SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER, but i don't really see any examples using string Concatenation. I'm trying to filter out the zls (0 length strings)
This doesn't work (all single quotes):

Query With Single Quotes Using OPENROWSET

My problem is that I'm not sure of the exact syntax I needto use when the SQL statement itself contains single quotes.Unfortunately, OPENROWSET doesn't allow me to use parameters so I can'tget around the problem by assigning the SQL statement to a parameter oftype varchar or nvarchar as inSELECT *FROM OPENROWSET('MSDAORA','myconnection';'myusername';' mypassword',@chvSQL)I tried doubling the single quotes as inSELECT *FROM OPENROWSET('MSDAORA','myconnection';'myusername';' mypassword','SELECT *FROM AWHERE DateCol > To_Date(''2002-12-01'', ''yyyy-mm-dd'')')But that didn't work.

Newbie Q: Inserting Strings With Single Or Double Quotes
Sep 15, 1999Hi: Got a newbie question that's been giving me fits! Basically I'm replicating what's going on here on this board...creating a "posting" interface that takes the "message" and inserts it into a table using an ADODB connection (using INSERT INTO table name,tablecells and VALUES)
However, if someone types in a single or double quote in the body of the message, I get an error similar to this:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 's'.
/test.asp, line 29
I think I understand why it's happening (SQL is interpreting the quote mark as a string-end), but what am I supposed to do to get around it?

How To Import Flat Files With Single And Double Quotes Imbedded In Them?
Aug 8, 2006I've got a flat file data source, that is to large to edit with most Windows apps on my server that contains both single and double quote characters that I need to load in a varchar column.
So I attempted to do it with a Replace in data transformation, but I can't get SSIS to allow me to use a variable or pair of single or double quotes within the replace.
If I don't replace the single quote characters with a pair then the records containing these characters all end up in my failed records output file.
Here are 5 example property legal descriptions from my FLAT FILE data source:

Form Field Returns Name With Double Quotes Instead Of Single Quote During Update Process.
Oct 3, 2007I've a weird problem in my application. In of the pages, while trying to update the text box "Name", when I enter Linda's test, it gets saved as Linda''s test. I'm not sure if this is a problem due to SQL server. When I look at the stored procedure, I don't anything different. Also, when I update the table directly in SQL Server, the result is displayed in single quote. But if I update the field thro' the application, the returned name is with double quotes instead of single quote. Has any of you faced problems like this? What am I missing? What do I need to do to get the name saved the way I entered (with single quotes) instead of double quotes?
View 1 Replies View RelatedProblem With Quotes In @[System::ErrorDescription] Variable
Oct 18, 2006I am using an Execute T-SQL Task as a part of an OnError event Handler in my SSIS Package. When occurs an error, using the Expressions-feature, my Execute T-SQL task builds an Insert Statement to insert the @System::ErrorDescription into a table.
"

,null
)
"
When I run the task ( not the package, only the task) everything is ok ( since the ErrorDescription variable is empty)
But when an error occurs in my package, then the T-SQL task fails giving the following error
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query " INSERT INTO [LogDB].[dbo].[ISFullMaintenanceErrors] ([EventType] ,[PackageName] ,[TaskName] ,[DateDone] ,[Status] ,[Host] ,[ErrorCode] ,[ErrorDescription] ,[Comments]) VALUES ( 'OnError' , 'Package' , 'TrialTempEx' ,getdate() ,'Failed' ,'SCYLLA' , null , @[System::ErrorDescription] ,null ) " failed with the following error: "Must declare the scalar variable "@".". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
I realized that the problem is that the @[System::ErrorDescription] contains quotes ( " ' ) and this is the reason that the insert statement fails. I tried the replace function but there was no solution
Any help would be appreciated

String Variable With Embedded Quotes Getting Changed To Slash/quote
Jul 9, 2007I have a Foreach loop that dynamically builds a query that gets submitted to a Progress 9.1d database. The "SELECT" portion of the query is static - the WHERE clause is built dynamically each pass through the for each loop. The vast majority of the columns have a dash ("-") in their names, so the query passed to progress has to have double quotes surrounding the column names. Not a big deal you would think. If I am retrieving 3 columns, my string would look like "SELECT ""manager-name"", ''"employee-name"", ""date-of-hire"" FROM PUB.EmployeeTable" - with the columns requiring quoted identifiers escaped with double quotes. My script task adds some additional info to the WHERE clause based on other conditions. Once my script task has built the query string, it assigns that string value to my Dts.Variables("SqlString") variable.
I can put a MsgBox() call in the Script task to display my query once it has been built (displaying Dts.Variables("SqlString").Value) - and it looks fine. Using the above example, it would simply be: SELECT "manager-name", "employee-name", "date-of-hire" FROM PUB.EmployeeTable.
So - My foreach loop is set up so that the query command is pulled from my Dts.Variables("SqlString") variable. It fails anytime my query has a column that requires quotes around it. I was confused, since I could take the exact query string displayed by my test MsgBox() and validate it's syntax against our Progress database (and even run it) and it worked fine.
So - I then inserted a breakpoint to break on PreExecute for the DataReader task (next task after Scrip task) to view the value of the Dts.Variables("SqlString") variable just before it gets assigned to the DataReader's Sql Command property. That's when I noticed that the value of the Dts.Variables("SqlString") in the Watch window actually showed that the "double" double quotes I had entered in the SELECT clause (to escape to one double quote) were being replaced with " (slash quote). SO - in the Watch window, my Dts.Variables("SqlString").Value reads as follows:
SELECT "manager-name", "employee-name","date-of-hire" FROM PUB.EmployeeTable.
Obviously, that query is not going to fly via SQL-92/ODBC connection to our Progress database. I've tried everything I can think of - even trying to replace "" with "" in the Foreach expression editor where the Sql Command of the data reader gets assigned. I'm at a total loss. Why would SSIS plug in what looks like C# character escaping syntax when all the expressions are supposed to be VB.NET? I've already successfully run several packages that query our Progress databases that do NOT use the double quotes in the SELECT clause and they work fine. Does anyone have any ideas??
About Indexes && Where Caluse
May 12, 2006Hi,
I am struggling with the sequence of parameters in my where clause.
In my databse table i have index on Broadcast_Date(some table field).The Index also include some other parameters which might become part of where clause.
The first field of the index is broadcast date.
So I want to know whether it is always compoulsory to have broadcast date as my first field of where clause.
Will it not scan the index if my where clause is starting with any other field which is also part of index.?
Will it hamper the query performance any way ?
Any help will really be appreciated.
Thanks

or c.ES <>'1' or c.FactorType not in ('D', 'I1', 'I2')
or m.DOD IS NULL )
What I am trying to get in the above example is to exclude some of the rows from select in the where caluse.
so if either one of these are not hp<>'1' or ES<>'1' or FactorType not in ('d', 'l1', '12') or dod is not null) should not be include in the select.
so HP should not be equal to 1, ES should not be equal to 1 or factortype no in d l1, or 12 or dod is null.
but some how I am getting those recrods where HP is 1 or ES is one and even dod is not null .
someone help please
