Hi everyone,
We're trying to migrate a varchar field from Sql2k to varbinary in a sql25k through a dtsx package. We get an error which tell us: "data will be lost".
Does anyone have any idea about that?
Thanks for your time and inputs,
I have a password field which is of varbinary. Since its a varbinary I
cannot see the password in the database I only see hexadecimal values.
Now my question is that how can I convert those hexadecimal values to
string or varchar so I can read the password.
any ideas ??
On the ntext, text, and image (Transact-SQL) page at
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187993.aspx
it states
"Important:
ntext, text, and image data types will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using these data types in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use them. Use nvarchar(max), varchar(max), and varbinary(max) instead. For more information, see Using Large-Value Data Types."
Considering this warning, is VARCHAR(MAX), NVARCHAR(MAX) and VARBINARY(MAX) support going to be implemented in SQL Server Compact Edition?

I have a password column that needs to be converted from varchar to varbinary. Can anybody provide me a proper CONVERT statement syntax for it?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have a test database that contains a varbinary(max) field and a varchar(max) field.
when I do a
Select * from test where id = xx
I get the expected results if my connection string uses
'driver=SQL Server;Server'
but these two fields return no data if I use
'driver=SQL Native Client'
the other fields in the record come back with no problems.
Is there anything special I need to do to retrieve these types of fields?
I just learned that bit masking a varbinary column can increase it's length in bytes unnecessarily. For example, I ran the following...
declare @v1 varbinary(max)
set @v1 = 0x0100AB
select len(@v1)
set @v1 = @v1 | (len(@v1) - 2) * 256
select master.dbo.fn_varbintohexstr(@v1)
select len(@v1)
...and get
3
0x00000000000101ab
8
This messes up a plan I had for varbinary column use.
So I quickly tried the following to look for strategies to deal with this unwanted growth...thought being that while I'm passed a varbinary(max), operating on a varbinary that matches its passed length would avoid the unwanted growth after bit masking....
declare @i int
set @i = 5
declare @v2 varbinary(@i)
...but got errors.
So I suppose I can use a combo of the len, substring etc functions to correct the situation after bit masking but would like to know if the more elegant approach of dynamically sizing a varbinary is possible in t-sql, or if perhaps there is a way to prevent the unwanted growth during bit masking.

How to translate oracle Decode without changed code I mean:
I have one application and instead to change all decode to case when I would like just replace decode for dbo.decode, so I
Wrote this function
select dbo.fnDecode( 1 , 2 , 3 )
first parameter always int, and the others parameters could be char, int or float.
I would like to test first value and return second or third value
-> sql_variant for all parameters, ok
but I can use + or -
I can't do this
select dbo.fnDecode( 1 , 2 , 3 ) + dbo.fnDecode( 1 , 2 , 3 )
If I put cast ok, but I is there another way, overload this call?
With clr doesn't work, because Sql Server doesn't accept function overload calls from C#
Any ideia????????????????????
cheers,

Hello,
I€™m new to this forum and my knowledge about RDL is very limited. We are developing software localization tools and some of our customers have requested a solution to translate RDL files.
Our tool has a generic XML parser so I reviewed the RDL documentation but didn€™t found any information about which XML elements do have translatable content. If there anyone who knows this or is there any documentation around describing which elements must be translated?
I also saw some proposals regarding the internationalization of RDL files. It seems that the proposed solutions were designed for developers and not for professional translators. In an environment where you have to translate several hundreds of RDL files into let€™s say 20 languages you can€™t expect that translators start to code RDL files. Are there any other approaches that can be used for a more efficient translation of RDL files?
Any feedback is appreciated.

Is it possible to translate a DTSX/XML file into VB.Net or C# code, like you can do with a WSDL file? If so, is there a SSIS utility or third party available? Thank you.

Hi,
I have an alphanumeic string as one of the column values.I want to get numeic value out of the string.
I was planning on translating all the characters of the alphanumeric sting to spaces and then using ltrim and rtrim on it should give me the required numeric sring.But there is no translate function in sql server
Example: abcd123xy 123
xyz45 45
Can someone provide me a way to get the numeric value out of the strng.
Thanks

Hi
I want to translate the following
SERIALNO TYPE AMOUNT
1111 1 251111 1 5 1111 1 7 1111 1 3 1111 1 101111 3 1 1111 3 2 1111 3 4 1111 3 3
2222 0 1
2222 0 7
2222 0 1
2222 1 5
2222 1 1
2222 1 2
2222 1 3
to output in the following format
SERIALNO SUM of MIN SUM of MAX
1111 50 10
2222 9 11
For each SERIALNO I want to sum the AMOUNT, spliting the columns into 2 based on TYPE
There are only ever 2 values for TYPE for eachs serial no.
I don;t need to track the value of TYPE.
I assume you would use a MIN & MAX function but Im not sure how to write this into a view.
thanks...

I want to know the equivalent of the Oracle translate function in SQL Server.
eg : select translate('entertain', 'et', 'ab') from dual.
I tried the SQL Server Replace function , but it replaces only one character or a sequence of character and not each occurrence of each of the specified characters given in the second argument i.e 'et'.
Please let me know if there is some other equivalent function in SQL Server
thanks.
Hi,
I have a requirement to do a data migration work for a Japanese client. The problem is I don't know Japanese and the client SME does not know English. So, my requirement is, I should be able to create a SSIS package in English and then should be able to compile or translate it into Japanese so that my Japanese SME can understand the package. Is it possible to do? If so, how can I do it?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
to fully support SQL server 2005, I'd like to use DDL statements instead of deprecated stored procdure calls, I'm having trouble "translating" this one :
sp_fulltext_catalog 'catalogName', 'start_incremental';
The only option available with ALTER FULLTEXT CATALOG are REORGANIZE and REBUILD.
Any idea ?

I am writing a query where I am identifying different scenarios where data changes between one week and the next. I've set up my result set in the following manner:
PrimaryID       SKUChange              DateChange         LocationIdChange       StateChange
10003Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â TRUEÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â FALSEÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â TRUEÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â FALSE
etc...
The output I'd like to see would be like this:
PrimaryID       Field Changed         Previous Value     New Value
10003            SKUName                SKU12345          SKU56789
10003            LocationId                Den123              NYC987
etc...
The key here being that in the initial resultset ID 10003 is represented by one row but indicates two changes, and in the final output those two changes are being represented by two distinct rows. Obviously, I will bring in the previous and new values from a source.
I have looked far and wide and have not found anything that works to allow me to resolve this issue.
I am moving data from DB2 using the MS OLEDB Provider for DB2. The OLEDB source sees the column of data as DT_TEXT. I setup a destination to SQL Server 2005 and everything looks good until I try and run the package.
I get the error:
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft DB2 OLE DB Provider" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".

[DTS.Pipeline] Error: The PrimeOutput method on component "OLE DB Source" (277) returned error code 0xC0209029. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.
Any suggestions on how I can get the large string data in the varchar column in DB2 into the varchar(max) column in SQL Server 2005?
I am trying to create a store procedure inside of SQL Management Studio console and I kept getting errors. Here's my store procedure.
Code Block
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sqlOutlookSearch]
-- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
@OLIssueID int = NULL,
@searchString varchar(1000) = NULL
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from

IF @OLIssueID <> 11111
SELECT * FROM [OLissue], [Outlook]
WHERE [OLissue].[issueID] = @OLIssueID AND [OLissue].[issueID] = [Outlook].[issueID] AND [Outlook].[contents] LIKE + ''%'' + @searchString + ''%''
ELSE
SELECT * FROM [Outlook]
WHERE [Outlook].[contents] LIKE + ''%'' + @searchString + ''%''
END
And the error I kept getting is:
Msg 402, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sqlOutlookSearch, Line 18
The data types varchar and varchar are incompatible in the modulo operator.

Any help is appreciated.
For the life of me I cannot figure out why SSIS will not convert varchar data. instead of using the table to table method, I wrote a SQL query so that I could transform the datatype ntext to varchar 512 understanding that natively MS is going towards all Unicode applications.
The source fields from Access are int, int, int and varchar(512). The same is true of the destination within SQL Server 2005. the field 'Answer' is the varchar field in question....
I get the following error

DTS used to be a very strong tool but a simple import such as this is causing me extreme grief and wondering of SQL2005 is ready for primetime. FYI SP1 is installed. I am running this from a workstation and not on the server if that makes a difference...
Any help would be appreciated.
I have a table that contains a lot of demographic information. The data is usually small (<20 chars) but ocassionally needs to handle large values (250 chars). Right now its set up for varchar(max) and I don't think I want to do this.
How does varchar(max) store info differently from varchar(250)? Either way doesn't it have to hold the container information? So the word "Crackers" have 8 characters to it and information sayings its 8 characters long in both cases. This meaning its taking up same amount of space?
Also my concern will be running queries off of it, does a varchar(max) choke up queries because the fields cannot be properly analyzed? Is varchar(250) any better?
Should I just go with char(250) and watch my db size explode?
Usually the data that is 250 characters contain a lot of blank space that is removed using a SPROC so its not usually 250 characters for long.
Any insight to this would be appreciated.
Does anybody can expain me what is the reason for varbinary accept the value 0 for length? We can insert files with >0 length in it?????
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
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
Can anyone tell me what varbinary casts to ?? can I do this int[] temp=(int)DataReader["varbinaryColumn"]. Or is byte[] temp the appropiate protocol.

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!
