How To Store Alpha And Gamma Special Charcters In SQL Server Database
Mar 14, 2002
Hi,
We are using VB 6.0 as frontend and SQL server 7.0 as backend. We want to store some special charcters like Alpha, Gamma, etc in the database. We tried different ways but could not find the solution.
We want to deny access to sql server 2005 database by the sql management studio or any other sql editor while our developed application can access the database even malicious user gets the login name and password by disassembling our code
I have a column that is a varchar(1000). When I select that column the whole column doesn't show in the grid. To see the what's in there I right click the cell and "Copy". I then paste the results into notepad.
My problem is that I'm only getting 500 characters. I have several questions:
1. How do I verify that there are more than 500 characters in the column?
2. How do I select all characters in the column?
3. Is there anyway to see them in the Management Studio tool or do I still need to past them into notepad.
I need to find all uses of special characters in a database. I used the following code to do this:
USE dbName GO IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb.dbo.#Results') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #Results GO
[code]...
This will check all tables in the database, but if you want to check specific tables you can uncomment the line in the where clause and specify tables to be checked. The query will return any text fields that have any characters other than letters, numbers or spaces.
This code works fine for me because all the tables in my database have single column primary keys. However I know how much Jeff Moden hates cursors or RBAR queries, so my question is could this have been done by any method other than using a cursor?

I want to store arabic values and dates in sql server database.
I am using visual basic 2005 with sql server 2005. I entered the the arabic values through visual basic forms. But when i open the database table, i see the values in english format.
I change my regional settings of the operating system is arabic (platform vista).
hi can anyone tell how to use the image field and add an image in a database. i'm using visual studio web developer express edition 2008 and i want people who visit my website to be able to see the table and the images associated with some of the rows in the table
Now I need to store the oMyClass object in the database for later use, at which point I would get it out of the database, cast it back to myClass, and be able to acess its properties, etc. My problem is that the classes that I am working with are not serializable, so I cannot store the objects as XML. Does anyone have an example of doing this programmatically with C# and ADO.NET. I am assuming that I would have to store it in a vabinary column, but how do I get it in there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I have the Image in FTP Server Folder and i need to insert that image into my local database.

Cannot bulk load because the file [URL] could not be opened. Operating system error code 123(The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.).
hi , can anyone tell me if there exists a function in SQL Server that help me determine if a variable is ALL Alphanumeric data or not by returning a 0 or 1 when condition fails or succeeds . thank you
Our company needs to (restore/migrate) our Alpha Nt4sp4 sql 6.5sp5a databases to an Intel hardware platform. For the time being the new intel server will be runing Nt4sp4 sql 6.5 sp5a. I understand that if we were to upgrade to sql 7 we would be able to restore the databases without any problems. However upgrading to sql 7 is not an option right now. I have tried to restore a backup from the alpha to an intel based machine, and it fails because the processor types are different.
I have already search technet, but found nothing, except upgrade to sql 7.
I am hoping someone out there could point me in the right direction.
Thank inadvance for your help, I appreciate it very much.
For the last couple of days i've been trying to transfer a SQL6.5 database from an Alpha platform to an Intel one.
At one point i loaded SQL7 on the Intel platform and tried to perform an upgrade (using the wizard), across the network - but it just did not want to play.
Using Veritas Backup Exec, with SQL6.5 on both machines, i've tried doing a backup of the database on the Alpha platform and then restore to the Intel Platform, but this fails stating that the processors are incompatible
Am i trying something that is impossible?
If anyone could point me in the right direction i'd be truely grateful.
I am looking for ways to migrate Sqlserver 6.5 from Alpha to Intel plat form. The only method I heard was Database/Object transfer. Is there any other way?
I'm trying to move a database over from an Alpha to an Intel-base PC. The SQL Server database is on an Alpha server. The 2nd machine is an Intel. When I make a backup of the database from Alpha, copy over the file to the 2nd PC (Intel) and then try to restore it from the 2nd PC, it doesn't sure up on the list of restores when I click on 'Add Device'
The only other way I can get this to work successfully is with a Database Object Transfer, which takes too long (several hours) and limits me to being on site. I need to do this every few weeks so I need a better way to transfer the database over ?
Anyone have any experience with SQL Server on Alpha??
In SQL I need to be able to take a varchar parameter @Area and convert it to a float.
The input values for @Area I can't control. They can range from 6300 to 6,300 SqFt to 1.2 Acres .
So to convert this value to a float I basically look through the string and remove everything that isn't a number or a period. Then I would convert this value to square feet based on how large the number is.
select @k = patindex('%[^0-9. ]%', @Temp) while @k> 0 begin select @Temp = replace(@Temp, substring(@Temp, @k, 1), '') select @k= patindex('%[^0-9. ]%', @Temp) end
If @Temp = '' BEGIN SET @Temp = '0' END
SELECT @SqFt = Convert(Float, @Temp)
--Distinguish if it was acres or square feet If (@SqFt > 750.00) BEGIN SET @SqFt = @SqFt END ELSE BEGIN SET @SqFt = (@SqFt * Convert(Float,43560) ) END
SELECT @SqFt
This works great except for one situation, If @Area is something like 6,300 Sq.Ft. . When I run it through the part that removes all non-numeric items and periods, I end up with 6300 .. . So to get around this I want to find the first letter in the string and then remove everything after it. Then take the result and run it through part that removes everything but the numbers and period.
However I can't find away to get the index of the alpha-numeric character and remove everything after it.
We have a table with an indesx that is varchar(7). It contains up to 5 numbers and 2 characters to denote batches. IE. 100a 105zz 1c 2 10001w
In an Access gui I need to be able to sort this field numericaly so each number shows up in its correct position. IE. 1c 2 100a 105zz 10001w
In order to accomplish this, I created a seperate field on the table named Num as varchar(5). I would like to create a trigger that updates this field any time a new batch number is entered. This way I can have my queries order by Num when returning the recordsets to the GUI.
Below is the code that I thought would work, but it is giving me an error near the keyword BEGIN after the IF(ISNUMERIC) statement. I can't seem to find an error with this code, but I thought maybe a thousand fresh sets of eyes could. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also if you know of a better way to accomplish this task, please feel free to post here.
TIA,
Aaron
CREATE TRIGGER [InsertNum] ON [dbo].[IP_Batch_Table_Temp] FOR INSERT, UPDATE AS

SET @Num = (SELECT IP_Batch_Number FROM inserted) SET @x = 1 WHILE (@x < len(@Num)) BEGIN IF (ISNUMERIC( SUBSTRING(@Num, @x, 1) ) ) BEGIN SET @Num1 = @Num1 + SUBSTRING(@Num, @x, 1) END SET @x = @x + 1 END UPDATE IP_BATCH_TABLE_TEMP SET NUMBER = ltrim(rtrim(@Num1)) WHERE IP_BATCH_NUMBER = @Num
I need to grant select, insert, update, and delete permission to an object residing in Database "X" from a store procedure in database "Y". I have already tried USE database statement. Any suggestion. Thanks Maroof Khan
Hello All, I'm hoping someone else has run into this, because I can't find any posts about it that are helpfull. I just updated our Dev SQL 2005 db to be able to use new 2005 key words with the script: EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel 'myDbName' , 90 This is all well and good until I notice my sa account no longer has a user mapping to my database. In managment studio when I go to Security - Logins - and sa properties If I try to add user sa to my Db I get the following errors: >>>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->>> Create failed for User 'sa'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo) Cannot use the special principal 'sa'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15405) <<<-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<<< I'm access the SQL Server through a client on my local machine, the Server is set to mixed authentication, actual check box is labeled Sql Server and WIndows Authentication Mode. Hopefully I'm just doing something dumb, which is highly likely since I'm a developer and not a DBA. Thanks in advance
I'm testing, with SQL 2014 on the same DB, a procedure that extracts data from a table into a file and Loads data from that file into a different table which has the same columns as the initial table (I use a function to create the create table statement from the source table and change the name of the destination table)
when doing my bcp -c the record with the special character "é" doesn't make it to the file. when doing a bcp -w the record with the special character makes it to the file but the bulk insert omits the whole record.
The result file in the case that makes it to the file is unicode. I'm not using a format file (don't see the need for it)
The bulk insert into the destination table that contains identical columns as the source (a mixture on int, varchar, char) --> didn't work
I also tried by building the columns of the destination table with nvarchars -- Still doesn't work.
It's a complicated process that takes 1 XML record that contains information + the Create Table Statement (to eventually be able to this on a different server/DB) + the title Row for each column + the Data... Each of these are created with a BCP command (all with the same options). they are then appended to each other with a copy /B c:file1.txt + c:File2.txt + c:File3.txt + c:File4.csv c:ResultFile
Once the result file is created I bulk insert the 2 first rows in one table "TableA" create the tmp table "TABLE B" with the create table statement that is in "TableA" and do another bulk insert of the remainder of the file into the newly created table.
What else can I try? Should I be creating a format file? what are the benefits of a format file?
It's a very long procedure that does both Extract and Load (with 12 parameters) not sure what I should put here.
If I create an index on a field in SQL Server, what will be the most efficient (fastest) field type to index a field? (This field will be a "Pointer" to a child table that will contain a list of codes, and their description.) Would a Numeric field be quicker than a VarChar field? VarChar would make it easier for a Human to decipher the raw records. (For example, if I used a numeric the code would be 42 or 47, while the VarChar could be 'savings' or 'checking'.) Basically I will have the following "Master" table: FieldType --------- IDInt NameVarChar StatusInt -or- VarChar Customer_TypeInt -or- VarChar If Customer_Type is a code that can be looked up in another table, and I index that field, would I want the "Code" to be an Int or VarChar? SQL: Select * From Master Where Customer_Type = <42> or <'savings'> My Where clause would depend on the field type. Thank you, Bryan
HI, Thanks in advance for taking your time to read this post. I am trying to write a SQL query using MS SQL 2005 that will read the value of a field and tell if it is alpha or numeric. I have tried the following but it does not work: select field1 from table1 where left(field1,2)='[0-9]' select field1 from table1 where isnumber(left(field1,2) tried with a =1 at the end and without and =1 at the end the goal is to read through a field and format it so if a field looks like this 12xxx111xx I can change it to look like 12-xxx-111-xx. Any help is greatly apprecaited

Hi,I come from the "dark side" php/mysql and there often problems withcharacter sets (utf-8, latin...) and storing data in datebase.Exists in the world of dot.net and ms-sql-server similiar problems?To precise: I have to store xml-data in database. Maybe its better toencode (like base64) the strings?Perhaps there are some links to read?Thanks.klaus.
