I have a simple webform with a text box with multiline enabled and a submit button, in vb.net. Inside the text box, when you are typing text with let's say adding carriage returns, spaces etc. How to i save the text to a database? By that, i mean, how to i declare the column in my database, varchar, text ...?
Also, when retrieving the saved text back to the textbox, will it keep the formatting because that's what i am trying to do? Or, what is the best way to keep text formatting in a database?
how to declare multiple derived columns in SSIS Derived Column Task in one attempt.as i have around 150 columns coming from Flat file. I had created the required Expression in Excel and now i want add those in derived column task but its allowing only 1 expression at a time.
I was planning on running a service where thousands of text messages are stored. Obviously I'd want to make the most of my DB space, and was wondering if there's some way for SQL to compress text down to the smallest space possible. If not, is there some kind of ASP component I could download to do this? Failing that, I could always write a simple one, which takes the most common letter combinations, and shortens them down to a single character.
In SQL 2005, what is the best way to take a text file and store it in a table field, then later extract that file to a directory with original name and format intact?

Hi!I want to store some really big text in my database (for my articles). The approximate size will be from 500 to 40000 characters. I was thinking of using the database 'text' datatype.I have heard that reading these text fields is slower and decreases the performance. Moreover is it advisable to index this for searching purposes?

This may be a stupid question but I can't find an easy answer for what Iwant to do. I need a blob data field that can store both binary and textdata like the sql_variant field. I am using vb.net to populate a sql table.I want to store both string and binary data.
As we all know, there is a 8060 bytes size limit on SQL Server rows. Ihave a table which requires a number of text fields (5 or 6). Each ofthese text fields should support a max of 4000 characters. We currentlystore the data in varchar columns, which worked fine untill ourappetite for text fields increased to the current requirement of 5, 6fields of 4000 characters size. I am given to review a design, whichesentially suggests moving the text columns to a separate TextFieldstable. The TextFields table will have two columns - a unique referenceand a VARCHAR (4000) column, thus allowing us to crossreference withthe original record. My first impresion is that I'd rather use the SQLServer 'text' DB type instead, which would allow me the samefunctionality with much less effort and possibly better performance.Can anyone advise on advantages and disadvantages of the two optionsand what the best practice in this case would be.Any advise will be well appreciated.Tzanko

I have a file with a header row which contains the date of the file and under that all the columns without a header.
In SSIS package I skip row and manually name the different columns.
However, I want to use the column in the header row to store the date value in an SSIS variable and use that variable to write it to our staging table. How can I do this when I skip the header row?
Hello there,I just want to ask if storing data in dbase is much better than storing it in the file system? Because for one, i am currenlty developing my thesis which uploads a blob.doc file to a web server (currently i'm using the localhost of ASP.NET) then retrieves it from the local hostAlso i want to know if im right at this, the localhost of ASP.NET is the same as the one of a natural web server on the net? Because i'm just thinking of uploading and downloading the files from a web server. Although our thesis defense didn't require us to really upload it on the net, we were advised to use a localhost on our PC's. I'll be just using my local server Is it ok to just use a web server for storing files than a database?

HiI have to create an XML file based on a SQL SERVER 2005 table.Everything works fine:SELECT 1 as Tag, NULL as Parent, Ex_Id as [Exam!1!Ex_Id], NULL as [Ex_Title!2!!cdata] FROM Exams WHERE ex_State = 'P' UNION ALL SELECT 2 as Tag, 1 as Parent, Ex_Id, ex_Title FROM Exams WHERE ex_State = 'P' order by [Exam!1!Ex_Id], [Ex_Title!2!!cdata] FOR XML EXPLICIT, ROOT('Exams') BUT when i add another column, a text column, I get into trouble: SELECT 1 as Tag, NULL as Parent, Ex_Id as [Exam!1!Ex_Id], NULL as [Ex_Title!2!!cdata], NULL as [Ex_Situation!3!!cdata] FROM Exams WHERE ex_State = 'P' UNION ALL SELECT 2 as Tag, 1 as Parent, Ex_Id, ex_Title, ex_Situation FROM Exams WHERE ex_State = 'P' order by [Exam!1!Ex_Id], [Ex_Title!2!!cdata], [Ex_Situation!3!!cdata] FOR XML EXPLICIT, ROOT('Exams') The problem is clearly the fact that i have to sort on the text column, plus the fact that this column requires the CDATA tag enclosurePlease help me....i'm desperate :(
