How Long Is A SQL Statement Allowed To Be?
Jul 23, 2005
I am trying to make the following SQL statement, but there seems to a limit
on how long a statement can be:
INSERT INTO CUSTOMER (forename, surname, company_name, title, addressA,
addressB, postal_number, city, country, home_phone, mobile_phone,
work_phone, fax, email, sale_procentage, bank, account_number,
creation_initials, creation_date, creation_reason) values ("test", "test",
"test", etc...);
But I can only enter this much text:
INSERT INTO CUSTOMER (forename, surname, company_name, title, addressA,
addressB, postal_number, city, country, home_phone, mobile_phone,
work_phone, fax, email, sale_procentage, bank, account_number,
creation_initials, creation_date, creation_reason) va
Is there some upper limit? And how do I make a long SQL statement like this?

Hi All,
SQL newbie here. I just looked at my Job Activity monitor and found that my Transaction log backups are failing. I looked at the error and it read as follows:
Executing the query "BACKUP LOG [OperationsManager] TO DISK = N'D:\SQL\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup\OperationsManager\OperationsManager_backup_200805061000.trn' WITH RETAINDAYS = 1, NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'OperationsManager_backup_20080506100001', SKIP, REWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
" failed with the following error: "The statement BACKUP LOG is not allowed while the recovery model is SIMPLE. Use BACKUP DATABASE or change the recovery model using ALTER DATABASE.
BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
I read some of the posts regarding this error, but I am not sure how to do the steps. How do I change the recovery model? I am new to this so I have no clue how to do this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi, I was trying to run an insert statement which has subquery, But it is returning the error like this..
Subqueries are not allowed in this context. Only scalar expressions are allowed.
--------------
Is there a way to reparse the insert statement without have to assign the subquery to a temp value and insert it?
thanks..
Here is my SQL..
insert into admincriteria values (nextID,(select id from nodetable where description like 'Example - Quality Analytics'),8071,2,'Failures by Customer',2,0,0)

I have SELECT statement that is several thousands of characters long - i'm declaring many tables, columns, and I have many aliases to deal with as well. Is there any way I can break it up into multiple lines? The only two things I could think of were using " + " . . . " + " . . . " or simply doing nothing and just dividing it into separate the lines. By the way, is there a limit to how long a SQL statement can be. I have been finding different answers when searching online.

Hi All,
Scenario:
There are two applications running on different server say ServerA and ServerB. Both applications are using same database server SQL Server 2005 say ServerB. Called the application as ApplicationA and ApplicationB with respect to Server names
It means for ServerA the database is remote and for ServerB, database is local.
Both the applications are Java application and using datasource to connect to the database. The driver used are SQL Server 2000 driver (which includes 3 jars). This can be a question that why 2000 driver is used for 2005. The reason is, application on ServerA is getting error while using SQL Server 2005 as Driver not proper.
Problem Area:
When ApplicationB (local to database) is doing some DB operations (which includes select and then batch insert), ApplicationA (remote) is trying to insert a record which is taking too long time (around 40 sec.). This is causing timed out in ApplicationA.
ApplicationA is inserting the data into the same table from where ApplicationB is selecting the data.
Any help????
Cheers

Hello..
The first problem:
I have 2 tables in MS SQL database: topicstbl and txtfilestbl. And every one have column topicID.
And in both I have fulltext column I want to search in it; but in the first one I want to search in the fulltext column (topicflds) and also in normal columns (topicname and topicsn)
I need to search in these tables and get the (topicID) column as result by 1 table without repeated results.
I tried this code:
SELECT topicID, KEY_TBL.RANK FROM (SELECT topicID, 255 as RANK FROM topicstbl WHERE topicname like '%search word%' or topicsn like '%search word%') AS KEY_TBL
UNION
SELECT topicID, KEY_TBL.RANK FROM topicstbl AS topicstbl INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(topicstbl, topicflds, 'search NEAR word') AS KEY_TBL ON topicstbl.topicID = KEY_TBL.[KEY]
UNION
SELECT topicID, KEY_TBL.RANK FROM txtfilestbl AS txtfilestbl INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(txtfilestbl, txtfile, 'search NEAR word') AS KEY_TBL ON txtfilestbl.txtfileID = KEY_TBL.[KEY] ORDER BY KEY_TBL.RANK DESC
But the problem is the result table has repeated records (same topicID, different Rank Value).
Also I used "SELECT DISTINCT" but same problem.
The second problem:
I want to merge the previous code with ROW_NUMBER code to get results between x and y.
Like this code:
WITH OrderedOrders AS (SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER()
OVER (order by topicID DESC) as RowNumber
FROM topicstbl)
SELECT * FROM OrderedOrders
WHERE RowNumber between 1 and 50
But without change the first order.
Now how to do all these??!

I have several reports that are looking for a code within a certain set of codes or ranges. The specific list of codes to be including is determined by the end user. Currently my "IN" statement can be a hundred lines, listing several ranges, lists of specific codes, etc. I am constantly getting asked what codes does it include, is this code included, etc. Sometimes they'll give me a printed 10 page list of codes and want me to compare to what I have included in the report. Not ideal in the slightest.
What I'd like to do is have a table or a file of some kind somewhere where the end user can view the codes contained, add new ones, and delete ones they no longer want. Then I'd like to be able to just reference that file in my IN statement. Leaving the responsibility of listing the correct codes on them.

I want to pass the string "select @@servername" in the print statement, it throws error as:=
Msg 1046, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
Subqueries are not allowed in this context. Only scalar expressions are allowed.
Msg 1046, Level 15, State 1, Line 28
Subqueries are not allowed in this context. Only scalar expressions are allowed.
declare @account_name nvarchar(400) = 'Mail Account';
IF exists (select * from msdb.dbo.sysmail_account where name = @account_name)
PRint 'Database Mail Account ' + quotename (@account_name) + 'is already setup in the Server:= ' + (select @@servername);
I mean why such restriction? In such queries results will be only 1 so it does not violate the SET operation. correct??

I tried to modify it to remove the nulls by changing this line of code
SUM( ISNULL(Sales,0))
I got this error
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near 'ISNULL'.
so i tried it like this
and got this error
Msg 195, Level 15, State 1, Line 12
'ISNULL' is not a recognized aggregate function.
My question is why can't i use isnull to change NULL TO 0
Thanx

I am using the SQLEXPRESS database, and connect from to locations:
Windows Service
ASP.NET web application.
whenever I start the windows service I get the error: Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
so I am going to visual studio and close the connection. then I close the web browser, and the windows service succeed connect to database.
but then, after windows service is connected, I open the web browser application and fails to login because the login system using the same database of windows service, and since the connection is being used by windows service, login is impossible.
Do you know how I can allow 2 connections at the same time for the same database?
what are the risks to do that? and how do I handle this risks.
thanks alot

Working on partitioning a few large tables. One of the tables included a text column and the €śTEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]€? clause which would prevent the partitioning of this table. After some research we found that the data was legacy and no longer used. We updated the column on the affected rows to NULLS and altered the column to a VARCHAR(20)
I then attempted to run the ALTER TABLE SWITCH and I encountered the error
Msg 4947, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER TABLE SWITCH statement failed. There is no identical index in source table 'LocalDeltanet.dbo.testresultsjoe' for the index 'PKIDX_testSummary' in target table 'LocalDeltanet.dbo.testresults_part'.
After a lot of grief and testing I determined that the message was bogus and the real issue is that the 'sys.tables' still has €ślob_data_space_id€? with a value of 1 for this table.
I created a copy of the table with the text column and the "TEXTIMAGE_ON", then altered the column to a varchar and another table with just the varchar column and no "TEXTIMAGE_ON" spoecified. After copying the data from the original table, I tried to run the Alter Switch. It failed once again for the table with the text column that was altered to varchar, but it worked for the table that had the column specified as varchar from the start.
All other things have been checked and the two source tables in this test are identical execpt for the Text column specification. The alter column changes the definition of the column, but how would you remove the €ślob_data_space_id€? setting, since it appears that this value is causing my issues, is there anyway to update the table in place. I know I can BCP the data out, but that would take too long and would defeat the advantage of using the alter switch method.
BOL States:
The allow updates option is still present in the sp_configure stored procedure, although its functionality is unavailable in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (the setting has no effect). In SQL Server 2005, direct updates to the system tables are not supported. This means we cannot update the table manually.

Hi, I've read that a SQL Server Express database is limited to GB. If I have a database with about 120 tables which store only simple datatypes (int, money, datetimes, varchar, etc.), no blobs or large files, how can I estimate the amount of data or number of rows it can hold before it runs out?

I have a form to submit some data to a database located in the App_Data folder. I have the following connection string:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Siven.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>
On the form I'm using a DetailsView control and using a SqlDataSource as the datasource, pointing to the above connection string. In realtime, when i submit the data, I receive the following error:
Server Error in '/' Application.
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
I'm using discountasp.net as the host, and I did not elect to use the SQL Server databases, I'm just going to use SQL 2005 express. I dont understand why it's not pointing to the db when it's there (and to make sure, I re-uploaded). Is there something I missed here?

I've created a new website using the new Visual Studio 2005 Express edition. This site uses SQL Server Express (free software) as a storage for personalization data, etc. Now I want to deploy my site, but here it ends for me:My web site hoster does not support the SQL Express edition in a shared hosting environment. I think most people have a website running in a 'shared hosting' plan. How can this large group enjoy the new Express line when SQL Server Express is not supported? "SQL Server Express is not a part of the SPLA SPUR (Services Provider License Agreement)", they all say. Here it ends for me, my ISP and their licence supplier. Even at Microsoft's Response Management Team, 'no' is the answer.
What to do now? Move on to an expensive 'dedicated hosting' plan? Write a membershipprovider for MySQL?I feel as if I was given a free ticket for a nice journey but there's no traffic possible.
Who can help me out here? What can I do...
