I'm connecting to a SQL Server 2005 database using the latest (beta) sql server driver (Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver 1.1 CTP June 2006) from within Java (Rational Application Developer).
The table in SQL Server database has collation Latin1_General_CI_AS and one of the columns is a NVARCHAR with collation Indic_General_90_CI_AS. This should be a Unicode only collation. However when storing for instance the following String:
__ÙÚÜÛùúüû_ÅÆØåæøßÇçÑñ__ЎўЄє?ґ_пр?туф_ЂЉЊЋ
... it is saved with ? for all unicode characters as follows (when looking in the database):
__ÙÚÜÛùúüû_ÅÆØåæøßÇçÑñ__??????_??????_????
The above is not correct, since all unicode characters should still be visible. When inserting the same string directly into the sql server database (without using Java) the result is ok.
Also when trying to retrieve the results again it complains about the following error within Java:
Codepage 0 is not supported by the Java environment.
Hopefully somebody has an answer for this problem. When I alter the collation of the NVARCHAR column to be Latin1_General_CI_AS as well, the data can be stored and retrieved however then of course the unicode specific characters are lost and results into ? So in that case the output is as described above (ie __ÙÚÜÛùúüû_ÅÆØåæøßÇçÑñ__??????_??????_????)
We would like to be able to persist and retrieve unicode characters in a SQL Server database using the correct JDBC Driver. We achieved this result already with an Oracle UTF8 database. But we need to be compliant with a SQL Server database as well. Please help.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,usually, I'm not using MS servers, but I have a big problem with aAccess table.I should create a web application for a Historical Dipartment.They have create a populated a Access database using unicodecompression field (for ancient language).I would like to export this table into MySQL o Postgres, but it'simpossible because when I export this table in a .txt o cvs format theunicode charaters have been "destroyed" for memory allocation problems(cause Access use a compression tool for unicode fields).Also with professional tools for dump Access to another DBMS.I would to know if using a MS SQL server I can skip this problem causeboth MSQLserver both Access are Microsoft product.Thank you ;)J

Hi,
Data in the table appearing with strange characters [probably unicode]. For instance obeserve the string [marked in red color] "Rod. Anhang?era s/n§".
When I export the same to excel and apply language as portuguese it shows properly. The actual portuguese languguage has ascents in the sentence.
This where the problem is seen.
I wanted to display them back in normal form could please suggest me the best possible way to cast such characters.
Thanks in advance for looking into this issue.
Thanks,
Niranjan.

I have looked far and wide and have not found anything that works to allow me to resolve this issue.
I am moving data from DB2 using the MS OLEDB Provider for DB2. The OLEDB source sees the column of data as DT_TEXT. I setup a destination to SQL Server 2005 and everything looks good until I try and run the package.
I get the error:
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft DB2 OLE DB Provider" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: Failed to retrieve long data for column "LIST_DATA_RCVD".
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: There was an error with output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324) on output "OLE DB Source Output" (287). The column status returned was: "DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE".
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: The "output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324)" failed because error code 0xC0209071 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: The PrimeOutput method on component "OLE DB Source" (277) returned error code 0xC0209029. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.
Any suggestions on how I can get the large string data in the varchar column in DB2 into the varchar(max) column in SQL Server 2005?

hi all,
I got a weird problem here, i hope your valuable suggestions will help me in solving it... we extract data from AS400 servers to our Extract Database(SQL Server) using SSIS. The data coming from china has a weird problem, Couple of columns come in chinese language, though we have set the respective columns as nvarchar(50) we see on our extract database that they are not chinese charecters but something really bad data symbols as:
(9(
+¦
2¬ o|a&]
2¬ o|a&]
+N|( <
....
....
etc....
I hope you are understanding what i mean ...may be i need to do something(probably change some properties) in the SSIS packages which extract data from the AS400 Servers.
Has anyone encountered such a problem...I will look forward for your valuable suggestions.
thanks,
ravi

Hi,Our school has an application in which :- Teachers enter comments through a web interface built in asp (notasp.net).- Comments are stored in a SQL server 2000 (in a nText field)- Comments are printed through a MS-Access 2002 front-end...Most comments are in English, Spanish or French. Some comments areEnglish + Japanese.- The Japanese teachers can enter their comments through the webinterface without any glitch.- The comments are obviously stored properly in the nText field, asthey can be displayed through the web interface.Here is where problems start to occur...- When browsing through the table using the Enterprise Manager, thecomment appears blank if it contains some Japanese.- When browsing through the table in Access (the table being linked),we can see the series of unicodes :漢字テス... while, in the next paragraph, theEnglish text is perfectly readable...- Similarly, on the printed report, the Japanese text appears as aseries of Unicodes, while the English text appears perfactly readable.If I copy the Japanese text from the web interface and paste it intothe linked table in Access, it displays perfectly and prints perfectlyin Access. But of course, I can't do that manually for all students...However, if I now look at the same record through the EnterpriseManager, I see the text (at last !) but only as a series of unreadablecharacters. I can imagine that that last problem is due to a lack ofJapanese font in the Enterprise Manager, bacause if I copy theseuneradable characters and paste them in the original web form, theydisplay perfectly...I would really appreciate if someone could help me sort out thatproblem.Many thanks for all ideas.DL

I create my database table with a text field of nvarchar(), added some japanese kanji characters and so on. Everything works great, I can insert kanji and retrieve kanji and display them just fine from my c# application, however if I try to search for kanji using a WHERE = '' or a WHERE like '' clause, it doesn't score a match. Not even a direct one.
I'm on XP using a japanese locale with IME installed. The kanji shows up in Enterprise Manager correctly, it even shows in the query for the table, yet the WHERE clause won't record a hit. Changing the collation on the field to "Japanese" or "Japanese UNICODE" doesn't seem to have any effect.
Is there something I am missing here?

Y'all:I am needing some way, in the SQL Server dialect of SQL, to escape unicodecode points that are embedded within an nvarchar string in a SQL script,e.g. in Java I can do:String str = "This is au1245 test.";in Oracle's SQL dialect, it appears that I can accomplish the same thing:INSERT INTO TEST_TABLE (TEST_COLUMN) VALUES ('This is a1245 test.");I've googled and researched through the MSDN, and haven't discovered asimilar construct in SQL Server. I am already aware of the UNISTR()function, and the NCHAR() function, but those aren't going to work well ifthere are more than a few international characters embedded within astring.Does anyone have a better suggestion?Thanks muchly!GRB-----------------------------------------------------------------------Greg R.

MS SQL 2000. Does anyone know how to find all rows where an nvarchar column contains a specific unicode character? Is it possible without creating a user defined function? Here's the issue. I have a table Expression (ExpID, ExpText) with values like 'x < 100' and 'y ≤ 200'. where the second example contains Unicode character 8804 [that is, nchar(8804)]. Because it's unicode, I don't seem to be able to search for it with LIKE or PATINDEX. These fail:
SELECT * FROM Expression WHERE ExpText LIKE '%≤%' -- no recordsSELECT * FROM Expression WHERE PATINDEX('%≤%', ExpText) -- no records
However, SELECT PATINDEX('%≤%', 'y ≤ 200') will return 3.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I'm new to SSIS, using Terdata Attunity connector for integrating data flow between Terdata (source) to SQL Server (Target).
SSIS package is getting failed because of length mismatch between source and Target for Unicode character datatype columns. Reason is Teradata TPT always occupies 3 times more length of actual defined in DB.
Even I tried by increasing length of attribute in Source but it didn't work.
I know by converting datatype from unicode -> Latin would work, but i don't want to do conversion since loosing some characters.
##################################################
Error is
[Teradata Source [263]] Error: TPT Export error encountered during Initiate phase. TPTAPI_INFRA: API306: Error: Conflicting data length for column(5) - Source column's data length is (200) Target column's data length is (300).

Hi,
I had a VARCHAR(MAX) parameter declared in my stored procedure and trying to concatenat single column from a table which has~500 rows into a string and keep in this variable, if i am not mistaken, i read that the VARCHAR(MAX) actually can hold up to 2GB of data, so it make me confuse why the variable which i declared as MAX size, can only hold up 8000 characters, any idea?
Regards,

I am trying to use this:
INSERT INTO BizNames ( [Key], [Name] ) VALUES ( 0, 'Bob's Lumber' );
The apostrophe embedded in the name value is giving me headaches. I tried using double-quotes and [] to delineate the value but then I get complaints that a "Name" is not allowed in this context.
How do you turn the embedded characters into an escape character so they can be ignored by SQL Server and passed into the table field.

Hi all,
I have a strange situation. I have a field in the database that has to be a string type field of around 4000 characters.
So naturally I setup the field as
type: varchar
length: 4000
However when I try to put any text in this field I find that I can put no more than 1023 characters of ascii text in there.
To check if this was a max record length prob I setup a test table with only 2 fields:
ID: int, PK, Identity
longVarchar: varchar, 4000
and tried to put some ascii text into the field called longVarchar. Again the most I could put in was 1023 characters!
Thinking that it could just be that SQL svr box that was wacky, I tried it on another one with the same result.
I have tried using other field types (nvarchar, char) and have found that they all could only hold 1023 characters max, no matter what how high I defined the size of the field.
Try it out yourselves and see if you get the same result. Any useful suggestions would really be appreciated.

Hopefully, someone can help me.
I am working with a database that contains multiple fields within the tables that are being used for Clinical notes. The fields are defined as VARCHAR(3500). But when I try to extract data (either through Query Analyzer or Crystal Reports), only the first 256 characters are displayed. I ran a query to give me the length of the maximum entry size which returned 2722 characters, yet only 256 are displayed.
How do I go about extracting ALL of the data from this field? Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

This is obviously a radical idea but some actually DO want to store linefeeds in varchar columns.
In MySQL I can escape difficult characters for example
INSERT INTO sometable(address) VALUES("23 SomeRoad
SomeTown
SomeCounty");
Does anyone know how to do this in Transact SQL?

I have one SSIS package that fails on occasion. And I can then run this in the job by itself after it fails and it runs fine. Any ideas? Any ideas on what is causing this. It is not every day but about once a week lately but it just happened again today to this is 2nd time in 4 days this has happened. It is always on this same part in the SSIS that it fails when it does fail. 4 times in last 2 weeks.
This step it is on here has a OLE DB - DB2 source and SQL server as destination. It does a couple data conversion, derived columns and then just copies the data from the db2 table to the sql server table.

I have a hungarian character which looks like a lower case o with two single quotes on top of it --> ő
I have this character stored in two table the datatype of the column where this is stored at is varchar in one table and nvarchar in the other. When I try to view the field in enterprise manager the character appears as it should in the 2 tables, but when I use a jsp page deployed on weblogic to look at this character the one stored in the column of type varchar displays perfectly, but the table in which the column is nvarchar the character on the jsp page appears as a Q instead.
Any inputs on how to correct this issue will be much appreciated. Any changes to the character set on the html / jsp pages has no affect on the result.
Thanks,

I've look at several different methods for removing leading zero's from a column but I need to remove trailing data from a VARCHAR column. For some reason, the old database saved the time along side the date in my client's app.
For example:
The old database format "2015-07-28 00:00:00"
I need the data in this column in the new database to only be the date "2015-07-28", there are alot of rows with this issue.
Is there a query I can run to remove the 00-00-00 from all of the rows? Some of the fields actually have a time in there like this: 2015-07-28 12:15:35, with this one, I don't think it's going to be easy but if I could at least remove the 00-00-00 from all the rows that have it, that would be a good start.
