INSERT To Text Column Losing Characters
Jun 21, 2007
I'm adding data to a text column, and whenever I have a backslash at the end of a line it disappears. Here's an example:
Code:
INSERT INTO MyTable (TextCol) VALUES ('some text
some more text
yet more text')
The on the first line is fine- the on the 2nd line just disappears. If I add a 2nd backslash on the end of the line, one is inserted. If I add a space to the end of the line, everything works as normal. I can fix this client-side, but before I do I'd really like to know what's going on?

Abstract is a TEXT Column. I'd like to limit it to 50 characters... how would I do that.
Thanks,

Hi,
Im a programmer for an university webportal which uses php and msssql.
When an user creates a new entry and his text is too long the entry is cut short and weird characters appear at the end of the entry.
For example:
http://www.ttz.uni-magdeburg.de/scripts/test-messedb/php/index.php?option=show_presse&funktion=presse_show_mitteilung&id=333
How can I set the text limit to unlimited?
Could it be something else?
Is there a way of splitting an entry to several text fields automatically?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me,
Chris

I have a datetime field used to store a date of birth. When inserting the date of birth into the table it works fine. But when the date of birth is in the month of October, it takes an hour off. For example, if the date is 04-OCT-1993, it inserts as 03-OCT-1993 23:00.
It only happens for dates in October. It's being inserted via a .Net table adapter. It just so happens that October is the month that daylight savings kicks in parts of Australia (an hour is added), but I think this must be a coincidence.

I have a column that is populated similar to below
[URL] ....
I need to extract just the 12345 portion. This will always appear after the first "=" and always be proceeded by &UL. I know how I can do this separately, which would be like
To get 12345&UL
ltrim(rtrim(
substring(
replace(cast(MyCol as nvarchar(max)),
'=',
replicate(cast(' ' as nvarchar(max)),10000)),
10001, 10000)))
And then I could run an update on the table after doing the above step using something like
SUBSTRING(MyCol,0, CHARINDEX('&',MyCol))
What I'd like to do is to have everything performed in one step, the above 2 SQL statements combined as one statement, so a separate update does not need to be ran.

I have a table of data with lines of various lengths. An example is
A Smith - Give #12345# Sydney City
B Jones and S Jones - Give #876543# Washington
I am trying to work out how to create a new column with just the number between the # symbols. The number would be between 5 and 9 numbers.

I have a large table, tblMessage, which stores e-mail messages in textfields. I need to remove the carriage returns the data in these fields,but I have not yet figured out how to do so.I thought that the way to do this would be with the REPLACE function;unfortunately, of course, the REPLACE function cannot work with TEXTfields. I tried CASTing the text field to VARCHAR(8000); however, someof the rows have more than 8000 characters in the text field, so it bombs.Here is the SQL that I tried:selectmsgID,msgSent,msgFromType,msgFromID,msgSubject,REPLACE (CAST(msgMessage AS varchar(8000)), CHAR(13), '<BR>') ASnewMessage,msgOriginal,attIDinto tblMessageNewfrom tblMessageI'm at my wit's end. Truncating the text field to 8000 character is anacceptable option, but I can't even seem to be able to do that.I'm using SQL Server version 7.

Hai all,
We have quite a strange problem, we have some SP's in our project which is functioning quite well all these days. Suddenly one day we got an error in the SP stating "Invalid Table Name", when we opened the SP and saw in some places the Tablename was replaced with Junk Characters inside the SP !!!!!!!
For Ex: Inside the SP we have the following SELECT query
"SELECT F1 FROM SampleTable"
the above query is getting replaced with
"SELECT F1 FROM SampleTa?le"
The junk character actually appears like a box!!!.. we were absolutely clueless why this was happening. Then if we change the SP once agin and run it starts to execute but only for a short time and the problem comes back once again. When we went through the SQL logs we got this error repeatedly:
"Error: 17805, Severity: 20, State: 3
Invalid buffer received from clients"
We came to know a little about this problem from kb articles in MS that when you are calling an SP from .Net u should specify the parameter data types explicitly and u should not use SQL Client in Finalise method all which we have not done in the application.
Tha SP was using #Table which we replaced to @Tablevariables but still we got the problem once, we are monitoring with the same Table Variables.
We are using SQL Server 2000 SP4. We have got stuck with this problem for days now . Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Everybody,
I have a table with one column of text data type. This table contains around 1200 records(each row is 60 characters only). My task is, I have to append all these records into a single record(Concatenation of records from other table) to another table.
For that I have created table(destination table) with one column of text datatype. Using the 'UPDATETEXT' function I am able to append 133 records(each row of 60 characters) from the other table into a single row of my destination table. After that I am not able to append my records further. It is giving the following error.
"
Server: Msg 7135, Level 16, State 4, Procedure gene1_proc, Line 26
Deletion length 60 is not in the range of available text, ntext, or image data. The statement has been terminated.
"
Why I have created 'text' instead of char or varchar datatype is, it can accept more than 8000 characters. But here in my case it is not accepting more than 8000 characters. The problem is coming from 134 (133*60 = 7980 characters) records onwards.
Can anybody guide me how to proceed with this?.
tks in advance,
Sam

We just implemented a full-text index on our product master table,however the users are now screaming because they cannot search on someof the special characters that are commonly found in our productdescriptions, specifically the #, %, and period (.)These characters are not in the Noise file, so no luck in justdeleting them from there, but somehow, the full-text is automaticallyignoring those characters, and we would like for the full-text to notignore these characters.Any insight or help would be appreciated.Thanks

I think this may have been asked for million times... but for some strange reason, i couldn't find anything related about that in this forum......
So, just wondering if there is any way to handle special characters like "&" in full text search ?
like "AT&T" ?
cause when I do a simple select * contains AT&T, it won't return any result ...
thank you in advance.

Hi, I'd like to know if there's a way to get sql server NOT to ignore the colon when performing a full text search (CONTAINS) for a string "sometext:". At this moment the query works, only the results are not narrowed to the ones containing the specified colon. I've read about this and I saw that these kind of characters (word breakers and stemmers) are ignored and want to know if there's a way to work around this (obviously performing well - so LIKE fails the test). Thanks

If I create a row with a nullable text column whose initial value is null and then update the column with a value that is exactly 256 characters long, the value remains null. Once I update the column to any other value (including null), it works as expected. I have not yet seen a way around this.
I am working in 6.5 SP3.

Hi, i have a query that goes like this
select *
from Users
where UserName Like =@Username;
the values for 'UserName' go like this
Adrián
Jesús
Fernández
Güero
all of them have spanish accents. is there a way to make the "like" value to ignore the spanish characters? (á, é, í, ó, ú, ü, etc)
That is because the user will not always write "Jesús" they will write "Jesus" or they will not write "Adrián" they will write "Adrian"
so is there any way to tell the SQL Server engine to ignore those characters?
thanks!!!

Hi all,I am quite experimented with SQL Server, but not that much with fulltext indexing. After some successful attempts with english fields, I'vedecided to try it with Japanese characters. I don't know why, but itseems to have a strange behaviour.As in this screenshot(http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/980/jap3xt.gif), the CONTAINSfunction does not seem to return only fields with an exact word matchof the given "word" (query), but also strange results which does noteven correspond to the query. Can anybody help me with that one?Thanks! :)ibiza

Recently to help improve search times across one of our catalogs we implemented a full text index. So far this has worked wonders and improved our speeds 20 fold!
However recently we hit a snag with certian searches. Our catalog contains parts with descriptions such as 3'x2'. We have taken out single characters and numbers from our noise files, but they don't seem to contain special characters (ie . , " ' / ). So it seems that each one of these characters acts as a work breaker. Is there a way we can structure our search to include these characters, or is there another file to modify to allow these characters?
Currenty our call, simplified, looks like this:
select * from catalog where freetext(description,'3''x2''')
Thanks for the help!

I must be doing something wrong, but I cannot imagine what it could be. I made a brand new table and started to enter some data. I am putting the initail data in using Enterprise Manager. This is essentially test data for development. I have several varchar columns set to 8000 for their size. When I try to enter text into them it is getting truncated at 999 characters. I thought that maybe I misunderstood the varchar type and that 1000 characters is 8000 bits and that is what the 8000 means. So, I redid the table with the datatype "text" for my long columns. Same thing. It is being truncated at 999. Is there something I am missing here? I am not trying to do anything tricky or confusing, I am simply trying to put more than 1000 characters into a table column.I should mention that I have been pasting the text that is copied from Notepad (to remove any extranous formatting). The text cuts cut off and I cannot even type in the column after that.Any clues would really be appreciated.

Hi,
I am tryin to run an SSIS package from an Excel Spreadsheet to MS SQL Server 2005.
I receive the error: Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page (full report is below).
I found this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2562259&SiteID=1
and have set the destination column to nvarchar(max), and I have also set the TruncationRowDisposition = RD_IgnoreFailure on the destination column, with no luck.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi,
I have tried to extract data from Pervasive SQL into MS SQL Server using DTS. Due to the server has been set as Chinese language region, the MS SQL is also set as 'Chines_PRC_CI_AS' by default. After the successful extraction and transfer, I have exported the data out to Excel format. Due to different location, I have copy and transfer the data into another reporting server which is having MS SQL 2005.
When trying to import the data into the server, it prompted an error '[Data Conversion 1 [168]] Error: Data conversion failed while converting column "DESC" (166) to column "Copy of DESC" (187). The conversion returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.". '. After checking and finding, I found it was due to the chinese characters that are contained inside the data files.
I have tried to change the collation setting inside MS SQL 2005 with the same setting as the MS SQL 2000, but it still not working. Please help and advice.
Thank you and cheers.
Best regards,
Francis

I'm trying to import data in Excel into SQL Server table which you would think would be an absolute doddle seeing as they're both key Microsoft products in the BI family..One of the columns in Excel spreadsheet is Comments1 and a couple of the values in this column are over 300 characters in length yet when I set up the Excel source and then open Advanced Editor and look at Input and output properties this column has a data-type of Unicode string [DT_WSTR] with length of 255 which leads to the truncated error in the title.
I've researched this and on find going into the registry and updating the TypeGuessRows value from 8 to zero. I've done this and yet the data-type is still showing as Unicode string [DT_WSTR] with length of 255. I've even moved the row with the largest number of characters to the top of the spreadsheet and changed the TypeGuessRows value to 1 but the data-type still stays the same.I can't believe that it's soooo difficult to import data from one of Microsoft's key BI applications to another using their 'world-class' integration tool.
