Field Too Small; Cannot Use Text Or NText; Ugh, Little Help.
Sep 9, 2006My Stored Proc runs through a loop and concats the contents of each field into one big nvarchar. Procedure works fine on a smaller scale but now it is being implemented on a very large table and the results of the sequel overflow the nvarchar limits. I looked into using text and ntext but both cannot be declared locally. Does anyone know how I can work aroudn this limitation?
Summary:The problem is that the temporary variable I am using (nvarchar) is too small to contain the robust size that the SQL is concating into it. The final field it winds up in is a text field and will be able to handle the amount of data, its just getting the data there is the issue..... Your thoughts please....

Aug 2, 2007HiThis is a question of "what does it cost me".Lets say I have an integer value which would fit into a smallint fieldbut the field is actually defined as int or even larger as bigint.What would that "cost" me ? How would definitions larger than I need forthe values in the field affect me ?Its obvious that the volume of the database would grow but with the sizeof resources etc that we have nowadays disc space isn't a problem likeit used to be and i/o is much faster and many people would tell me "whocares" , or IS it a problem ?How does it affect performance of data retrieves ? Searches ? Updatesand inserts ? How would it affect all db access if tables are pointingat each other with foreign keys ?Thanks !David Greenberg
View 3 Replies View RelatedUpdating Only A Small Part Of A Text String In A Field
Aug 17, 2006Hello all,
I have a table that holds a large amount of text in a field that is the body of the email. For example, it might say something like:
Quote: Email tech support at thisemail@email.com if you have any questions about the results of this test.
I need to change the email address in this field. Using this example I need to change thisemail@email.com to thatemail@email.com; however I do not want to change the other text in that field.
It is also important to note that the rest of the body of the emails stored here is different depending on the email.
So basically what I need is a statement that would look at a particular field, search for an email address, and replace that email address with another one without disturbing the rest of the text in that field. I already checked the w3 update tutorial and the update there is for the entire field.
Thanks for the help in advance!

Jul 20, 2005HelloI have a case where Partners are some kind of Super-Users and arestored in a SQL Server database. Best is IMO to put both in the sametable:table Customers:CustomerID[pr.key][blabla]PartnerIDBut of course I have to reference the partnerid from another table andI want SQL Server to maintain the integrity rules. I could splitCustomers en Partners into different tables, but that would not bewise i think.Or I could just reference the CustomerID from the other table and-know- that we are talking about a partner, but in that case it itpossible to reference a customer that is not a partner, and i want toavoid that.Any ideas?Freek Versteijn

I want to create a report totals that contains
Number of vendors=2
Number of invoices=3
Total Inv Amounts=600.00
Total Item Amounts=475.00
How?
Number of vendors is =count(distinct vendors) ??
Cant do that for # Invoices because of possible duplicate invoices used by different vendors.
How do i get the total invamt? Each occurrence of the invamt fld is in a list2 as =first(invamt).
I really need the sum of each first(invamt).
Thanx Up Front.

Small Version?
Jun 18, 2007I currently use JET 4.0 as my database in a small app I distribute. SQL Server Express is way way too big to distribute. I am looking to move to a better database.
Is there a version of SQL that gives simple database CRUD support, but is super small to distribute? I am also considering Firebird as it's a full database and only 3MB on the client as an embedded tool.

SQL Or Access For A Small Forum
Jan 18, 2004Hi,
I'm just about to launch a forum, and right now its built in ASP classic with an Access db. I origianlly used Access because most hosts charge extra for MS-SQL server. Recently I switched to Jodohost who offers Access, MS-SQL and MySql for at no additional cost. So now that I have the option, I would like to pick the best solution before I launch.
* My questions are...
- What is the best db solution to go with for a currently small forum?
- How problematic do you think a data migration would be in the future if I stayed with Access for now and upgraded to MS-SQL with a full forum?
- Is it just smarter to go with MS-SQL now, with an empty forum, regardless of any preformance issues because potential migration problems are a greater risk?
- At what point does the speed of MS-SQL at high volumes over come the potential lags in accessing MS-SQL if it is hosted on a different machine from the one hosting the webpages?
* And please keep in mind...
- I have no db training. I can muddle through Access well enough, but administrating MS-SQL I think might be another story
- This fourm will start off very small, but could grow to be quite large
- I may not stay with jodohost, and would therefore likely have to pay more for MS-SQL (which I woudl rather not do)
Please Help With Small Table Design
Mar 10, 2004Hello, could someone pls help me with this table design.
I have a project table and a code table. The code table has things like priorities (High, Medium, Low).
Now, I want all projects to be able to use these 'global' codes as well as define their own. So, they could define their own priority code 'Critical', that only their project can see.
Any help would be great.
Please Help With This View - Small Modification
Nov 17, 2005I have listed a view below and a portion of the result set that is returned when I run the code in Query Analyzer. This is part of a timesheet application that logs hours per SCHLSTUID per SECTIONID per week. This returns the SCHLSTUID(user's ID), SECTIONID, Date that the week starts, the first date that time was logged. The user could be in several SECTIONID's for the same week. I need to modify this so that it returns the date that the first time was logged for any of the SECTIONID's per week. I know that this is probably something simple that I'm overlooking but I just can't get it to work correctly.Example: SCHLSTUID SECTIONID ATTSTARTDT FirstTimeEnteredDOn601868445 EN4AR001 2005-09-18 20:59:21.120 2005-09-19 20:59:21.120601868445 MAA1R001 2005-09-18 20:59:21.120 2005-09-18 20:59:21.120This would need to return 2005-09-18 20:59:21.120------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------601868445 EN4AR001 2005-10-02 20:59:37.427 2005-10-02 20:59:37.427601868445 MAA1R001 2005-10-02 20:59:37.427 2005-10-02 20:59:37.427This would need to return either 2005-10-02 20:59:37.427------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------601868445 EN4AR001 2005-10-09 20:59:37.823 2005-10-09 20:59:37.823601868445 MAA1R001 2005-10-09 20:59:37.823 2005-10-13 20:59:37.823This would need to return 2005-10-09 20:59:37.823----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CREATE VIEW dbo.vExportStartWeekASSELECT TOP 100 PERCENT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, MIN(TimesheetDate) AS FirstTimeEnteredOnFROM (SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, ATTSTARTDT AS TimesheetDate, sunmns AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, ATTSTARTDT AS TimesheetDate, sunhrs AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, DATEADD(d, 1, ATTSTARTDT) AS TimesheetDate, monmns AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, DATEADD(d, 1, ATTSTARTDT) AS TimesheetDate, monhrs AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, DATEADD(d, 2, ATTSTARTDT) AS TimesheetDate, tuemns AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, DATEADD(d, 2, ATTSTARTDT) AS TimesheetDate, tuehrs AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, DATEADD(d, 3, ATTSTARTDT) AS TimesheetDate, wedmns AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, DATEADD(d, 3, ATTSTARTDT) AS TimesheetDate, wedhrs AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, DATEADD(d, 4, ATTSTARTDT) AS TimesheetDate, Thrmns AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, DATEADD(d, 4, ATTSTARTDT) AS TimesheetDate, Thrhrs AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, DATEADD(d, 5, ATTSTARTDT) AS TimesheetDate, Frimns AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, DATEADD(d, 5, ATTSTARTDT) AS TimesheetDate, Frihrs AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, DATEADD(d, 6, ATTSTARTDT) AS TimesheetDate, Satmns AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance UNION ALL SELECT schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDT, DATEADD(d, 6, ATTSTARTDT) AS TimesheetDate, Sathrs AS TimeEntered FROM TimeSheetDailyAttendance) TimesheetDatesWHERE (TimeEntered <> 0)GROUP BY schlstuid, sectionid, ATTSTARTDTORDER BY schlstuid----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This is a portion of what is returned:SCHLSTUID SECTIONID ATTSTARTDT FirstTimeEnteredDOn601868445 EN4AR001 2005-09-18 20:59:21.120 2005-09-19 20:59:21.120601868445 MAA1R001 2005-09-18 20:59:21.120 2005-09-18 20:59:21.120601868445 EN4AR001 2005-09-25 20:59:36.670 2005-09-25 20:59:36.670601868445 EN4AR001 2005-10-02 20:59:37.427 2005-10-02 20:59:37.427601868445 MAA1R001 2005-10-02 20:59:37.427 2005-10-02 20:59:37.427601868445 EN4AR001 2005-10-09 20:59:37.823 2005-10-09 20:59:37.823601868445 MAA1R001 2005-10-09 20:59:37.823 2005-10-13 20:59:37.823----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Thank you for any help that you can give me.Scott

Massive TRN File, But Small DB
Apr 5, 2006Hi Everyone,
We have a large and active MSSQL 2000 database. Recently, after a rebuild of the server, we had a problem with the SQL service SQLSERVERAGENT. The service could not start as the service account lost local permission to the registry. During this time, all of the data being sent to the database from our application accumulated into the database .ldf file. By the time we were able to get the service restarted, our .ldf file was approx. 28 Gigs. When the service restarded, the .ldf file shrunk down to regular size,about 40 megs, and the .trx tlog file grew up to 28 gigs for that specific period (new file every hour).
The problem is, the database file (database.mdf) stayed about the same as it was before the service was restarted. When the .ldf transfered to the .trn none of the 28 gigs of data got stored in the database. What does this mean? Perhaps with the service stopped the application using the db saw problems and did not commit the data making it all useless? Or is it possible that the data in the .trn log just needs to be forced to commit to the .mdf???
Is there any way to verify the data in the 28 gig .trn file and figure out if we should get it stored to the database? If yes, how would we go about verifying it, and after that how would we force it to commit to the .mdf file? Am I on the right track here or is it not as I see it??
Thanks!

Base Code
Select LOA.Account0 as 'Account Name'
From local_accounts LOA
Where LOA.Account0 like '%Microsoft%'
Group by LOA.ACCOUNT0
Account Name

Small Question About BIT Columns
Jun 17, 20041-8 bit columns in a table consume one byte of storage space. That sounds simple and efficient.
If a bit could only store two values, this would make sense. But, a bit can be one of three values: NULL, 0, 1.
How does a NULL-able bit column only consume the storage space of a regular 0/1 bit?

Keeping Database As Small As Possible ?
Oct 16, 2006Hello everyone,
I have a winform application with C# front end and sql express 05 backend.
In this database i have a table that holds manufacturer provided pricing and the manufacturers we work with update pricing constantly.
We have one table called "manufacturerpricing" which we are constantly inserting and deleting pricing records to/from to keep manufacturer pricing up to date. We may insert and delete as many as 2,000,000 records per month into this table.
This works perfectly fine and we have no problems here at all.
But with that being said, I am worried about the size of the database growing out of control due to temporary space etc. The database just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
How do I run some maintenance to keep the database size under control.
I would like to run this automatically from the C# front end so if ther is a stored proc I can call or an C# assembly I can reference that would be ideal.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
One Large Update Vs. Many Small
Oct 8, 2007
Hello,
the application will add items into a "bag". That is, the items in one table will refer a record in another table. This will be done in timely manner -- with second or minute delays between adding a new item. There will be up to thouthand of items per bag. The option is to wait until a full bag accumulates and set up all the references at once by using
UPDATE items SET container_ref = bag WHERE id IN [...]
The disadvantage of such all-at-once I see is inability to encapsulate the functionality into a SP -- the problem is to pass a set of IDs. The advantage should be efficiency in terms of total SQL Server load. How mush would it be?
