I have a large text colum I am trying to insert into a DB
This colum is about 800 chars longs
I have set the colum type in the table to text
I have set the table option for text in row to on
I have set the table option for text in row to 1000
But it is still chopping the text at the 256 char mark on insert.
Anyone have any ideas ?? This is SQL 2000.

I am running into a problem inserting large amounts of text into my table. Everything works well when I test with a few simple words but when I try to do a test with larger amounts of text (ie 35,000 characters) the appropriate field is left blank. The Insert still performs (all the other fields recieve their data, but the "Description" field is blank. I have tried this with both "text" and "ntext" datatypes. I am using a stored procedure with input parameters. As I mentioned, the query goes off flawlessly with small amounts of data (eg "Hi there!") but not with the larger amount.I check and the ntext field claims to be able to accept 1073741823 bytes of data. Is there some other thing I should consider with large amounts of text?

Does anyone have ideas on the best way to move large amounts of databetween tables? I am doing several simple insert/select statementsfrom a staging table to several holding tables, but because of thevolume it is taking an extraordinary amount of time. I consideredusing cursors but have read that may not be the best thing for thissituation.

The DB I am working with has about 10 tables and some of the tables have 200,000 to 500,000 records. All tables have a clustered index on the primary key.
I performance during INSERT could be better I think - I add thousands of records at a time from many connections.
Is there a way to defer the update of indicies? So that, I can update the tables and then let the indicies regenerate ?
thanks,
Jas.
Is there any way how to create indexies after insertion of any
number of records (I dont want to create index after insertion of every record,
but for example after insertion of 1000 records) ?
I heard it should be possible with „bulk insert“ or with
transactions. Is it right ? I need do this with MS SQL Server 2005 (Workgroup
edition).
Thank you for your ideas!

We have created a databse in SQL Server 7 for support issues.
We are having trouble with only one aspect of the databse and that is the body of the supported problem.
The databse is basically a Question/Answer Support database whch house Frequently Asked Questions.
When the user does a search on a specific problem they have a list of matching questions shows on the screen (links).
When the question is clicked on it shows the Questions with the Answer of possible fixes.
Our problem lies in the fact that SQL server is truncating the Answer portion. I have tried different Data Types with maximum lengths with no success it keeps truncating it.
Right now I am on Data Type nvarchar with a length of 4000.
If anyone has any pointers on how to solve this problem all input is appreciated. You can post here to the forum or e-mail me directly at jason@flnet.com
Thank You.

Hi,
To store large amount of text which datatype is best whether text or varchar(max).

I'm trying to store a binary data file in my database. I've tried data types image, varchar(max) and text. I don't get error message on loading the data but as soon as the text file exceeds 32,000 bits a query returns an empty data set.
Is this a SSMS display problem and the data is really there? Or is this another one of Microsoft's memory bugs?

Hi!I want to store some really big text in my database (for my articles). The approximate size will be from 500 to 40000 characters. I was thinking of using the database 'text' datatype.I have heard that reading these text fields is slower and decreases the performance. Moreover is it advisable to index this for searching purposes?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi All,
How do I input a large text page (notepad) into a SQL column. Or assign a pointer to the data. I've tried to use BOL (writetext) and to no avail, I guess I'm missing something. I'm just using EM and Query analyzer. I thought this should be easy. Image data should work the same way.
TIA,
Dave
I'm sorry, but I'm a definite newbie. How can I store really long pieces of text other than as the 'text' datatype, which is too short in SQLS7?
Please help! It's key to my site admin system for importing third party wysiwyg-generated pages into our system....

Hi:
I'm trying to transfer a table from SQL Server 7 database to another SQL server 7 database on
another server. This table has a text field with lots of data (~.5-1 G). I'm using the export wizard
and the transfer appears to complete successfully, but when I view it, the text field data has
been truncated.
Any ideas?

Hi all,
I have an existing database, which is used to store complaints data and have one field, which stores notes in a varchar(8000) column.

Many thanks
What datatype to use when inserted large amount of Text ??
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen using DTS (in SQL 7) to export via OLE DB a large varchar to a text file, it clips it at 255 chars.
No other data access drivers seem to work, either. This is lame! I cannot use bcp as a work
around, because i want to use quoted comma-delimited, which it doesn't support, and I
am using query-based export, where the query calls a stored proc, which bcp also doesn't
support.
Are there any new versions of MDAC that fix this? Anyone know a workaround? My current hack fix
is to split my field into 2, but this is a grubby fix that hassles my reciptients.
This is a pretty fundamental limitation to a major product!

I have a bunch of SPs that all rely on a UDF that parses a commadelimitted list of numbers into a table. Everything was working fine,but now my application is growing and I'm starting to approach the 8000character limit of the varChar variable used to store the list.I would like to change the UDF only and avoid having to dig through allof my stored procedures. I was hoping to use the text datatype toallow for much larger lists, but I am unable to perform anymanipulations necessary to parse the list into a table. I have triedPATINDEX, but it alone is not enough without the text maniuplations andI don't think the sp_xml_preparedocument can be used in a UDF.Anyone with any thoughts on managing large arrays in t-sql?thanks,Matt Weiner
View 2 Replies View RelatedOn SQL2005, we have a table called Document_lie with 2 fields : doc_type (varchar(50)) and doc_Document (text).
Another application is putting base64 encoded text in doc_document.
This code works:
$sql=" Select Top 1 DOC_Type,DOC_Document from Document_lie
where Doc_Compteur =7418;
";
$stmt=sqlsrv_conn_execute($conn,$sql);
if ($stmt) {
sqlsrv_stmt_fetch( $stmt );
$typedocu=sqlsrv_stmt_get_field($stmt,1);
$photostream=sqlsrv_stmt_get_field($stmt,2,SQLSRV_PHPTYPE_STREAM);
$photocod='';
while (!feof($photostream))
{
$photocod.=fread($photostream,8192);
}
$photobin=base64_decode($photocod);
header("Content-type:image/jpeg");
echo $photobin;
}
While this one doesn't:
$sql=" Select Top 1DOC_Type,DOC_Document from Document_lie
where Doc_Compteur =7418;
";
$stmt=sqlsrv_conn_execute($conn,$sql);
if ($stmt){
while ($result=sqlsrv_stmt_fetch_array($stmt, SQLSRV_FETCH_TYPE_ASSOC)){
$photocod=$result['DOC_Document'];
$photobin=base64_decode($result['DOC_Document']);
$typedocu=$result['DOC_Type'];
}
header("Content-type:image/jpeg");
echo $photobin;
}
In fact, if you look at $photocod, you see the problem easily: $photocod gets the good length (in my case 80734 bytes), but only the first 65535 bytes are correct. The rest is filled with garbage. Looks like a pointer problem.
Hi€¦
During my web search looking for a solution I ran across SQL CE 3.5 articles. My questions about SQL CE 3.5 are:
1) Can SQL CE 3.5 handle a 4 €“ 6 GB file
- Read
- Parse (SQL)
2) Can SQL CE 3.5 act as a standalone client that a user can view a large (4-6 GB) text file?
- Will I need a .NET (small) client to read the large (4-6 GB) text file?
More info:
The text file will reside on the machine where the SQL CE 3.5 is installed. There is no pull to get the data.
Thank you (in advance)€¦

I fixed all the free text stuff but now I have another problem. I created a web app one page to enter data and anoter to display it. I have a multiple row text box and if you enter something with returns it it when you display the data it ignores the returns and puts everything on the same line BTW the column type is text
example
this
"want to hest this out.
========================
now I am going to put in some test data and see how it comes out
finished"
will come out like this
"want to hest this out.========================now I am going to put in some test data and see how it comes out finished"
how do you fix this?
Hello everybody,
I've got a little problem wich i'm trying to solve since 1-2 years and i hoped it would go away with SQL 2005 - but that wasn't the case :(.
Situation:
I've just bought a new Server containing:
SQL 2005
64 Bit Enviroment
4 GB RAM
2x AMD Opteron 2 GHz Prozeccors (Dual Core)
2x RAID Controllers (RAID 1) containing
1.1 System
1.2 Data
2.1 Transaction Logs
I've created a full-text table containing all the search terms i need to search.
Table build:
RecID - int - Primary Key
SrcID - varchar(30)
ArticleID - int - referring to an original table
SearchField - varchar(150) - Containing the search terms
timestamp - timestamp field
Fulltext index:
RecID as Primary Key
SearchField as indexed field - Wordbreaker: Neutral (containing several languages), Accent sensitivity off
Now i've got different tables imported in here resulting in a table size of ~ 13 million rows.
There is no problem with the performance on this catalog if i search a term wich isn't contained in more than 200-300 recordsets - but if i search for a term wich could occur in 200'000 upwards it gets extremely slow.
On the slow query the first records get in after no time, but until the query finished up to 60 seconds pass.
The problem is that i have to sort by a ranking value wich is stored externally - so i need all results to sort them...
current (debugging) query:
SELECT ArticleID FROM fullTextTable AS ft INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(FullTextCatalog,SearchField,'"term*"') AS ftRes ON ftRes.[KEY]=ft.idEntry
Now if i check in the performance monitor:
As soon as i run the query the 'Avg. Disk Read Queue Length' counter on disk D (SQL Data Files) jumps to the top, until the query has finished.
Almost no read/write activity on C: where the Fulltext is stored...
If i rerun the query, after it finished once successfully - it takes place below 1-2 seconds, would be nice to get that result in first place :).
Does anybody know a workaround to this problem?
