How To Run Replace On Varbinary Field

Dec 31, 2013

I need to run a replace on a varbinary field but I am unsure how. I have tried mulitple different methods and to no avail. I am stumped.

I have attached a zip folder that contains a spreadsheet that shows what I am trying to do. In the first tab it shows the SQL command I use to call the field I want to change. In this case it's the Content field and I am calling it using the content_key. As you can tell the content is stored as varbinary. In the second sheet, It shows this varbinary being converted to varchar(max) and it shows what the actual text says.

The table that this information is stored is is called digitalassetcontent

I need to remove the

Code:
<STYLE>H1{font-weight:bold}H1{font-size: 14pt}OL</STYLE><H1>Product Description</H1>

That is in front of the actual product description.

Somehow I need to run this command:

Code:
Update digitalassetcontent
set content = replace(CAST(content as varchar(max)), '<STYLE>H1{font-weight:bold}H1{font-size: 14pt}OL</STYLE><H1>Product Description</H1>','')

Where CAST(content as varchar(max)) like '<STYLE>H1{font-weight:bold}H1{font-size: 14pt}OL</STYLE><H1>Product Description</H1>%' AND content_key = 'desc214974236480438500781058983745755010'

This is the error message I get when running this code: Implicit conversion from data type varchar(max) to varbinary(max) is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.

On the varbinary field. How do I do this?

Replace Varbinary

Dec 12, 2006

hello.
i want to do something with this database but i don't know how:

there is this column that is varbinary and i want to replace just one part of its content, for example:

this is its content:
'CC08FF806785'
and i just want to change the FF for AA.

i tried using query analyzer with this:

update table
set column=replace(column,'FF','AA')

but it says something like conversion isn't allowed from data varchar to varbinary and that i should use the function "convert" but i don't know how to use that!

does anyone know how to do that?
thanks!

Inserting Into Varbinary Field

Apr 21, 2008

Hello,

I'm trying to insert a string expression into a varbinary field. I've tried it several ways, but the data does not seem to get inserted.

I map DT_STR field ("T") with varbinary field in destination table and the package executes properly, but when I see the data that it has been loaded I only see empty values (0x).

I have also tried other approaches, like converting to DT_BYTES during SSIS flow, but I always get the same result.

Any idea of how to achieve this?

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Detect / Determine Data Stored In Varbinary Field

Oct 21, 2014

I have several tables a varbinary column in a database. They have names like CSB_BLOB or OBJECT_BLOB. Now I am having intermittent success with getting the data out.

For example this query returns readable text from this data.

0x46726F6D3A20226465616E6E6167726.....etc --data as stored in the column

SELECT CAST(CSB_BLOB AS VARCHAR(MAX)) AS 'Message' FROM OBJECT_BLOB

However this column has the following query results.

0x0001000000FFFFFFFF01000000000000000C....etc. --data as stored in column

--this query returns empty result

SELECT (CSB_BLOB AS VARCHAR(MAX)) AS 'Message' FROM CSB_STATUS_LOG

--this query returns no change???

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(MAX), CONVERT(VARBINARY(MAX), CSB_BLOB, 2), 2) FROM CSB_STATUS_LOG
0001000000FFFFFFFF01000000000000000C....etc

Obviously there is a difference between the two but I am not educated enough to interpret this difference. What do I need to learn / read so I can look at the data in one of these BLOB columns and know how to convert it to something meaningful?

Something like:

1. Try to cast as varchar to see if it is text.
2. Turn into a byte array and see if it is a jpg
3. Turn into a byte array and see if it is a pdf
4. Convert it to hex and then cast as varchar
5. etc....

Replace Field Value Using Wildcard?

Feb 23, 2014

Is it possible to replace a string value that uses a wildcard? For example, I'm trying to update a field on a table and replace the field value where it starts with a specific two character pattern and remove it from the string. The field is a delimited string and I want to replace any occurrence of ;A0% or ;A0* with a null value. I don't want to replace the entire field with a null value.

Let's say my field value is this:

;00236;08231;06106 Washington DC;06106 CCA Wash DC;05120;A0106;

I want the result to be this:

;00236;08231;06106 Washington DC;06106 CCA Wash DC;05120;

I was trying several variations:

UPDATE myTable SET myField = REPLACE(myField,'XX%','')

SQL Server 2012 :: Replace Names Found In XML Field Name As Hyperlinks

Reporting Services :: SSRS - IIF / Switch / Replace Multiple Conditions In A Field

Have a nvarchar column in ms sql that, based on user input, may or may not have a carriage return and a line break together (CHR(13)&CHR(10)), just a carriage return (CHR(13)), just a line break (CHR(10)). In using that column in ssrs, I need to find if any of the above exist and replace them with the string "x0Dx0A", "x0D", or "x0A" respectively.

I'm getting lost in this expression:

SQL Server 2012 :: Find A Specific String And Replace It With Another Inside Of VARCHAR Field

Aug 14, 2015

I'm trying to find a specific string (a name) and replace it with another inside of a VARCHAR(7000) field. Unfortunately, there are names like Ted and Ken that I'm trying to replace. I would like to leave words like Broken, admitted, etc... intact.

UPDATEtbl
SETBody = LEFT(REPLACE(tbl.Body, pm.OldFirstName, p.FirstName), 7000)
FROM Table tbl
JOIN Person p ON p.PersonID = tbl.PersonID
JOIN PersonMap pm ON pm.PersonID = p.PersonID AND LEN(pm.OldFirstName) > 2
WHEREtbl.Body LIKE '%[^a-z]'+pm.OldFirstName+'[., ]%

'The problem I'm running into is that the '[, ]%' in the LIKE excludes any record that ends with the FirstName because it is requiring either a space, comma or period after the name. Is there some way to add an empty string to the list of acceptable characters as that would cover any scenario in the data? I would prefer not to add all characters except space, comma and period, but I guess I could do that.

Varbinary(max)

Jan 22, 2007

Hi,

We have a large database table with an IMAGE field holding documents of < 1MB size.

Over time this table has become quite large and operations on it have become slow.

My question is, would changing from IMAGE to varbinary(max) make the binary storage more efficient thereby making the table operations faster.

Also, would the table size be smaller with varbinary(max)?

Thanks

From 'image' To 'varbinary(max)'

Apr 1, 2008

HiI moved to SQL Server 2005 (from 2000) and noticed there is a bettervariable to deal with binary arrays.I hava a table that hold 9 columns of images (BLOB). each array has adifferent size and can be larger than 4k.I've changed the column data type from image to varbinary(max).After the chnage, the size of the table grew from 22MB to 26MB.Any idea why? I though the new variable should be better.I have another table where there are 3 columns with binaries, the sizeof the arrays there is much smaller and vary from 32bytes to 150byteslong. when I changed the data type to varbinary the size of the tableshrunk by half!!now I'm completely confused...Gilad.

The Value For VarBinary(MAX) Using MyLittleAdmin

Aug 10, 2007

Hello,

Would you please be kind to answer my question !

I have developed an ASP.NET Web application using SQL Server Express 2005 in my local PC where I have used VarBinary(MAX) for an image data storage. It is working fine in my computer. Now, I have configured my SQL Server 2005 in my production server using MyLittleAdmin, I found that, I can not set the value MAX for VarBinary, so I am forced to enter the value of varBinary = 8000. Now, When I insert image to this field more than 8KB, I get the following message,

"String or binary data would be truncated."

So, what does it mean, Is it not really possible to store image or file data in VarBinary which is more than 8KB ? if yes, then how can I configure my table for that using MyLittleAdmin ?

Regards

Varbinary(max) Configuration

Jul 17, 2007

I have been instructed to setup a database that will allow the storing of files in binary format. I have looked at using the varbinary(max) data type on a column to store the information. I am not sure based on books online how much information this can store. I have files that could be as large as 5-10 GB in size. Will SQL 2005 support storing these in binary format with that data type?
