Invalid Character In A Report
Jan 5, 2007Hi!
Trying to generate a report (using WebForm ReportViewer, from dynamically created RDL report and SQL Server 2005 OLAP cube), if a database field contains control characters (code < 0x20), Reporting Services generate following message:
' ', hexadecimal value 0x02, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 2376.
Is it possible to ignore that? I don't care if browser shows an octopus, the report must work.
Thanks, Andrei.
Added Space Character On The Header/Footer Contents Of An Exported Report In Excel
May 21, 2008A space was added as the first character of the contents in the Left, Center and Right section of the Report Header and Footer exported to Excel. Example :
In the RDL, Header values are:
Left = "Product Report" ; Center = "Confidential" ; Right = "Page n of n"
In the exported report to Excel, Header properties (-->File.-->Page Setup--> Header/Footer Tab) are:
Left = " Product Report" ; Center = " Confidential" ; Right = " Page n of n"
Is there a way to eliminate that space character?
Thanks in advance.

The logic being that multiple and consecutive occurrences of the special character, here - pipe , should be replaced by a single special character.

Read Chinese Character From SQL(SQL Server 2005) Database Table Column And Display Chinese Character
Feb 1, 2008Hi!
I have a table like this below and it doesn't only contain English Names but it also contain Chinese Name.
CREATE TABLE Names
(FirstName NVARCHAR (50),
LastName NVARCHAR (50));
I tried to view the column using SQL Query Analyzer, It didn't display Chinese Character.
I know that SQL Server 2005 is using UCS-2 Encoding and Chinese Character uses Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) Encoding.
I want to read the FirstName and LastName columns and display in Window Form Data Grid and ASP.NET Grid View.
I tried to use this code below and it didn't work. It convert some of the English Name to Chinese Character and it display the chinese character and some still in the original unreadable characters.
Does anybody know how to read those character from SQL Table and display the correct Chinese Character without converting the English Name into Chinese also?
Thanks
int codePage = 950;
StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder();
Encoding targetEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(codePage);
byte[] encodedChars= targetEncoding.GetBytes(str);
.
message.AppendLine("Byte representation of '" + str + "' in Code Page '" + codePage + "':");
for (int i = 0; i < encodedChars.Length; i++)
{
message.Append("Byte " + i + ": " + encodedChars);
}
message.AppendLine(" RESULT : " + System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(encodedChars));
Console.Writeline(message.ToString());

The ' Character
Nov 16, 2006Hello all.
Ok this is going to be a little hard to describe but here goes
I have a table within which one column is used to store a SQL select statement as a string. This means that the whole select statement has to be enclosed within two ' characters. The problem is that the SQL statement itself contains these characters. The specific SQL statement i wish to save as a string is:
select
'<A HREF=DisplayOnlyDiscipline?SESSION_ID=' + :SESSION_ID +
'&DISP_REF=' + cast(DISP_REF as varchar) +
'&EDIT_REF=' + :EDIT_REF + '>' + cast(DISP_REF as varchar) + '</A>' as Reference,
V.DESCRIPTION as Discipline_Stage,
DISP_DATE as Date
from
DISCPLIN D
left outer join
V_DISP V on (V.CODE = D.DISP_CODE)
where
EMPLOY_REF = :EDIT_REF
order by
DISP_DATE DESC
Can anyone suggest how i get round this?
thanks for reading peeps

Character Translation
Nov 14, 2001I have a SQL Server 2000 database which uses a Cyrillic collation. The database itself is in English, but some of the tables contain text which use the Cyrillic character set. When creating an ODBC connection to the database, ODBC forces me to have the "Translate character data" option set, which means that a query or stored procedure parameter containing Cyrillic characters have the Cyrillic characters translated to plain ascii. Data returned from a query or SP with Cyrillic characters work fine.
So the question is: how can I send Cyrillic (unicode) strings to an English SQL Server, without it translating the characters between Workstation and Server? Ideas appreciated.
Thanks,

Checking Character Set
May 2, 2002I've forgotten the character set that I've chosen when I was installing the SQL Server 7. Is there a way to check?
I'm currently using US English version of Windows NT4 and SQL7. But interestingly, all the data is in Japanes characters. It's actually for a Japanese website, and the front-end application is written in ASP. I remember reading somewhere that it is impossible to do certain type of sorting (by some particular order for the Japanese language) as it is limited by the choice of the language of the NT OS.
The type of sorting that I'm looking at is the grouping of 5-characters. One example is in http://www.forest.impress.co.jp/aiueo.html
Would this be possible with my current setup? Or would it help if I migrate over to Windows 2000? (I'd rather not move to Japanese NT4)
Your feedback and advice would be very much appreciated!

Character Or Numeric As PK
Mar 14, 2001Hello,
I am from the school of thought that you should in every case have your primary keys as numeric values only. However, where I currently work there is a project leader who is a recent FoxPro convert (I know, they are tough ones to crack). I made the suggestion recently that the keys in the table should be numeric and with him being the project leader and me just a lowely developer he said get lost. I made the point that later joining your tables together in a PK/FK relationship where the keys where character would be slower then with numeric keys. He didn't listen and now we are approaching production with a database that is really just a bunch of text file. He said that with SQL 7 it doesn't matter if the pk is numeric or character. I disagree. But I need solid documentation to take to him and to the managers to convince them. If anyone out there could advise me on this. And if anyone could give me or tell me where I could find documentation on why even in SQL 7 there is a need to use numeric keys that would be a great help and you would be making one more shop in this world a little bit more technically sound :-) Thank you in advance for your help.

Ans:- update SomeTable
set SomeField = rtrim(SomeField) + char(39)
where right(rtrim(SomeField),1) <> ''''
Thanks Bill for the solution it works.What l need now is an explanation so l can understand what l just did. Am l right in saying that the reason the char is 39 is to ensure that all fields regardless of length will have the qoute inserted at the end? What if the insert was to be at the beggining how would the query look like?
explain this portion (where right(rtrim(SomeField),1) <> '''') why those two qoutes?Thx a mil
Insert Character
Aug 31, 2001Q.
Initialy l wanted to insert a quote at the beginning and end of the filed. But l went on to try and insert a comma after the quote. Below are the steps that l followed. It basically gave me what l wanted to see but the problem is that ist got spaces in between which are too big and l getting an error as listed below.
Error Message
Server: Msg 8152, Level 16, State 9, Line 3
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.

What am l doing wrong from step 4? Is it possible to insert quote and a comma then remove the last comma in the table not printing to screen like l'm doing? If so how. Thx for the help thus far
Step 1:-
/** Select a 100 records then insert the characters **/
select top 100 * into Temp1 from Temp
Step 2 :-
/** Insert a quote at the beginning of a record **/
update Temp1
set field = char(39) + rtrim(field)
where left(Field,1) <> ''''
Step 3 :
/** Insert a quote at the end of a record **/
update Temp1
set Field = rtrim(Field) + char(39)
where right(rtrim(Field),1) <> ''''
Step 4 :
/** Inserting a comma after the qoute at the end of the record **/
Declare @Temp1 Varchar(200)
Set @Temp1 = ''
Update Temp1
Set @Temp1 = @Loan2 + Temp1 + ','
