How To Convert To Regular Text, Data Stored In Image Data Type Field ????
Jul 20, 2005
Hi,
This is driving me nuts, I have a table that stores notes regarding an
operation in an IMAGE data type field in MS SQL Server 2000.
I can read and write no problem using Access using the StrConv function and
I can Update the field correctly in T-SQL using:
DECLARE @ptrval varbinary(16)
SELECT @ptrval = TEXTPTR(BITS_data)
FROM mytable_BINARY WHERE ID = 'RB215'
WRITETEXT OPERATION_BINARY.BITS @ptrval 'My notes for this operation'
However, I just can not seem to be able to convert back to text the
information once it is stored using T-SQL.
My selects keep returning bin data.
How to do this! Thanks for your help.

The ERP manufacturer used an image data type to store large text data fields. I am trying to move these data types from one database to another database using either Sql Queries or MS Access. I can cast them as an 8000 char varchar to read them directly but have no luck importing into these image data fields.
Access and Crystal are not able to read these fields directly.
Any suggestions? Most information about these fields has to do with loading files but I am just moving data.
Thanks,
Ray

I have a field that is currently stored as the data type nvarchar(10), and all of the data in this field is in the format mm/dd/yyyy or NULL. I want to convert this field to the smalldatetime data type. Is this possible?
I've tried to use cast in the following way, (rsbirthday is the field name, panelists is the table), but to no avail.
SELECT rsbirthday CAST(rsbirthday AS smalldatetime)
FROM panelists
the error returned is "incorrect syntax near 'rsbirthday'.
I'm rather new to all things SQL, so I only have the vaguest idea of what I'm actually doing.
Thanks for the help!

Hi
I am currently working on an application that uses a stored procedure to retrieve data from a database and then display it in a web page. My problem is that some of the data in the database will be images, I am currently putting in test data to test my code/procedures my problem is how do I put in test data for images, when I am finished I am going to add an admin section that will allow me to add images that way but how do I go about adding them to the database until then? I have set the field to the image data type but have no idea how to relate this to an image on my server?
Thanks, Adam

I embedded a SQL query in excel that gets some datetime fields like "TASK_FINISH_DATE" .
How can I convert a datetime field to a date field in SQL in a way that excel will recognize it as a date type and not a text type?
I tried:
CONVERT(varchar(8),TASK_FINISH_DATE ,3)
CONVERT(Date,TASK_FINISH_DATE ,3)
CAST(TASK_FINISH_DATE as date)
**all of the above returned text objectes in excel and not date objects.

Hi folks,
Table:
a int,
b int,
c int,
d text
I need to change my AFTER - Trigger from this (example!):
select * into #ins from inserted
to something like
select *(without Text / nText / image -columns) into #ins from inserted.
So I tried to build a string like this: (using INFORMATIONSCHEMES)
select @sql = 'select a,b,c into #ins from inserted'
exec(@sql)
a,b,c are not of Text, nText or Image datatype.
After executing the trigger, I get an error, that inserted is unknown.
Does anyone know how to solve this ?
Thx.

Hi,
Does anyone know how to deal with image data type within stored procedure when using SQL2000?
I have a table and there is an image data type column. In this table I need to make a copy of one row within a table through a SP /it means to retrieve the whole row within SP, change another columns data (but, that the image is not modified) / and save the modified row back to the same table.
Problem is, that within SP is not alowed to use local varaibles of image data type. Does anyone know a solution for this? Please.
Thank you.

AnupG writes "hi,
the most common feature that any RDBMS provides should be that if we want to store the data in the MSSQL tables then the data should be presented in masked/formatted like for eg.the password text in field should be like "*****". I am using SQL 2000 but i unofrtunately i couldn't find any such feature in defining the data type in SQL server 2000 ...?"

how can i insert a carriage return when i update the field?
say i want to put the following inside a field:
firstline
secondline
how can i update/insert a column to have a return carriage inside it?
UPDATE table SET column = 'firstline secondline'
the reason i want this is because when using a program (Solomon, by microsoft, purchasing software) to grab a field out of the database and when it displays that field in the programs textbox, i want it to be displayed on two separate lines
i tried doing
UPDATE table SET column = 'firstline' + char(13) 'secondline'
but when in the solomon program, it displays an ascii character between firstline and secondline like: firstline||secondline
thanks

Hi, I have a script written in ASP to load data file (.csv) to ms sql. In the script, I have a portion of script looks like taht :
.....
Do While NOT oInFile.AtEndOfStream oOutFile.WriteLine Replace(oInFile.Readline, chr(13), vbcrlf)Loop
.....
After that, I will use a BULK INSERT to input data to ms sql.
I am wondering how do I convert each row (data) to vbcrlf in Stored Procedure? Coz' I did not compose the convertion part, and I got no error when running BULK INSERT, but no rows are inserted :( HELP!!!!
I guess it's because the file is not being converted into a correct format??

I am attempting to create a stored procedure that will launch at report runtime to summarize data in a table into a table that will reflect period data using an array type field. I know how to execute one line but I am not sure how to run the script so that it not only summarizes the data below but also creates and drops the table.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advanace for taking the time to read this post.
I am using MSSQL 2005 and have created a function that allows me to use regular expressions in my SQL queries.
My question is I have a pattern buried in a field of misc data that I need to pull out just that pattern and discard the rest of the data. Here is the Regular Expression I am using
select field1 from table1
where dbo.RegExMatch (field1,'[a-zA-Z]{4}[0-9]{6}[a-zA-Z]{2,4}')=1
This returns all values in the field that match the expression. What I want to do now is remove all data from the field on the left and right of the expression that does not match the expression. How would I accomplish this without reading through the 200k+ records and writing rules for every exception I run across?
so I could have Gar b/a ge 'THE GOOD DATA' m/or1 ba4d da....ta. All I want to do is return 'THE GOOD DATA'

=System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(First(Fields!JOB_NBR.Value, "main"), "(w{2})(w{4})(w{1})","$1-$2-$3")
however in the edit expression window, I have a red line under the word Replace.
The mouse over tells me it is a "unrecognized identifier"
Any idea's

I'm having problems designing a package to attempt to execute a fast load data transfer but failback to regular speed with error redirection in the event of an error.
The way I designed this was to add one data flow task to my package called "DFT FASTLOAD". The data flow copies a table SRC to another table DEST in the same SQL Server database. In the error handler for the data flow task I copied the original data flow task and changed the name to "DFT REGULARLOAD with Error redirection". In this data flow task I did not use fast load and addtionally redirected errors to a text file.
In the Data Flow Task "DFT FASTLOAD". I am copying from a varchar source field(with non-date strings) to a datetime destination field to force errors. However the Data Flow Task "DFT REGULARLOAD with Error redirection" never seems to start transferring data from source to destination. The data Flow Task "DFT REGULARLOAD with Error redirection" turns yellow (after the error occurs in "DFT FASTLOAD"), but no data is being transferred). It seems like it hangs.
Do I need to increase the MaximumError Count or something? The data flow task "DFT FASTLOAD" does not turn red when the error occurs it just remains yellow, so i assume I'm on the right track since it seems the error is caught.
I have added screenshots ... hopefully these screenshots will clarify my problem.

I have a string stored in a column of type image that I need to do string operations with in order to decode the containing infomation.
data [image] = 0x07FD0707FD0102F001000054004C005300410000000054004C00530041000000FF...
I can't cast or convert to nvarchar(max), varchar(max) as I always get an error. Explicit conversion from data type image to varchar(max) is not allowed.
I tried CONVERT(VARCHAR(MAX), CONVERT(VARBINARY(MAX), DATA))
Which doesn't throw an error but seems to interprete the hexadecimal code to ascii characters and therefore is useless (ýýð...)

I have been asked to write a piece of code that will insert an image object into a database using a stored procedure and the Microsoft Enterprise Library. Has anyone done this before? Do you have any code examples about how to update a database with an image datatype that needs to be chunked, etc...
In this instance, I need to open up a word document and save the contents as an image in a database.

hi, i'm a student doing my final year project. during the user requirements stage, my client proposed storing all files (.doc, .jpg, .mp3) into the sql database. i found out that the way to do this is to write the files as binary data in order to store them in the database. my concern is will this data storage overload the database server? i read somewhere that the retrieval of data as binary data is the same as retrieving text. but the estimation of users is around 27,000.. if i'm not wrong, the sql database server should be MS SQL Server 2005, or at least 2003.
