Hey guys. I have a SQL query I'm trying to create. It's nice and dandy, but I have a memo field that's being trunicated to 256 characters.
SQL is something like this:
Code:
Select distinct `group`,sortorder,HideLabel,category,img,Description,Null as num,Null as subcat
from catalogimages
where Inact=0 and subcateg is NULL
group by `group`,sortorder,HideLabel,category,img,Description
order by `group`,sortorder,category
Description would be the memo field.
Is the 'GROUP BY' clause even necessary here?
I'm also willing to bet that the 'DISTINCT' clause might not be necessary.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm using DTS to import data from an Access memo field into a SQL Server ntext field. DTS is only importing the first 255 characters of the memo field and truncating the rest.I'd appreciate any insights into what may be causing this problem, and what I can do about it.Thanks in advance for any help!
I'm importing an Access database to SQL Server 2000. The issue I ran into is pretty frustrating... All Memo fields that get copied over (as Text fields) appear to be fine and visible in SQL Server Enterprise Manager... except when I display them on the web via ASP - everything is blank (no content at all).
I didn't have that problem with Access, so I ruled out the possibility that there's something wrong with the original data.
Is this some sort of an encoding problem that arose during database import? I would appreciate any pointers.
i've a reasonable amount of experience with MS Access and less experience with SQL Server. I've just written an .NET application that uses an SQL Server database. I need to collate lots of data from around the company in the simplest way, that can then be loaded into the SQL Server database.
I decided to collect the info in Excel because that's what most people know best and is the quickest to use. The idea being i could just copy and paste the records directly into the SQL Server database table (in the same format) using the SQL Server Management Studio, for example.
Trouble is, i have a problem with line feed characters. If an Excel cell contains a chunk of text with line breaks (Chr(10) or Chr(13)) then the copy'n'paste doesn't work - only the text up to the first line break is pasted into the SQL Server database cell. The rest is not pasted for some reason.
I've tried with MS Access too, copying and pasting the contents of a memo field into SQL Server database, but with exactly the same problem. I've tried with 'text' or 'varchar' SQL Server database field formats.
Since i've no experience of using different types of databases interacting together, can someone suggest the simplest way of transferring the data without getting this problem with the line feeds? I don't want to spend hours writing scripts/programs when it's just this linefeed problem that is preventing the whole lot just being cut'n'pasted in 5 seconds!
Can anyone point me any solution how to export a MEMO field from an Access database to a TEXT field from an MS SQL Server 2000. The import export tool from SQL server doesn't import these fields if they are very large - around 9000 characters.
I'm trying to create a site which allows me to add Memo type fields but when I insert or edit my record it will not take any of my text after an enter (vbNewLine). In Access I used the field type "Memo" but I do not see that type in SQL Server 2005 just a nvarchar(max) which does not seam to work. Thanks for the help! Chad
I have an Access application with various DB's linked together. One of the DB's contains a field, SOURCECODE, which was mistakenly entered in as an nvarchar(4000) field in MS Sql Server. When I link the table, Access converts it to a memo field.
There will never be more than 10 chars in that field. The company that created the DB says its will be too risky to change the data type. I need to link this field to another field that's a VARCHAR.
How can I do this? Access doesn't allow the CAST feature.
Does anyone know how to convert data in a Memo field from Foxpro into a Text field in SQL table? Straight import via DTS package seems to entirely ignore this memo field and result in blank. Thanks in advance for your reply.
Our company is migrating a Microsoft Access 2010 backend database to a SQL Server 2008 database. One of the memo fields in the Access backend can store up to 150 Kb of Unicode data. To store this data in SQL server, we found that we can use the following data types:
Because ntext will be deprecated in future releases of SQL Server, the only good alternative to store an Access memo field in SQL server is to use nvarchar(max), which is what Microsoft recommends for large Unicode texts.Storing a large amount of text like 150 Kb in an nvarchar(max) field using only SQL server works as expected. However, if Access is used to store the data in a table linked to SQL server, the maximum number of characters allowed is only 4000. We found that this limitation is imposed by the ODBC driver that limits nvarchar(max) to 4000 characters.
The connection string we are currently using to link a table to SQL server is this:
ODBC;DRIVER={SQL Server Native Client 10.0};SERVER= SQLEXPRESS;DATABASE=TestDB;Trusted_Connection=No;UID=uid;PWD=pwd;
Any solution for this limitation storing large amounts of data in a Microsoft Access memo field mapped to an nvarchar(max) data field in a SQL Server database?
I'm having some problems importing data from a memo column (Access) into varchar column in SQL Server.
My idea was to use slowly changing dimesion to identify modified and new rows. No matter what data type I use to convert the memo column (using Data Conversion Transformation) and then using the converted column in SCD, I get the following error : 'The SCD transform does not allow mapping between columns of different types except for DT_STR and DT_WSTR.'
What do I have to do to get Memo column 'to behave' as a string?
Same problem with a different data type - decimal (18,5) in sql server - no matter what datatype I use in Data Conversion Trans, I get the same error trying to generate scd.
I have an application written in Access 97 that connects to a SQL2000backend. One field is a description field that is a data type NTEXT in theSQL database. In my access form, I can not enter more than 255 characters.Before I converted the backend to SQL, the description field was a memofield in Access.What do I need to do to make it so I can enter more text into this field?
I have used DTS in SQL Server 2000 to import an MDB filed (MS ACCESS) of a table. When the table is imported the primary key is lost and the memo field data is completely gone.
I use the tranformation option in the DTS wizard to add the primary key and make sure the data type for the memo field is varchar and has a size of 8000. I need that large size since I am storing lots of html code.
When I preview the data I see the html code that is supposed to get imported. However, when I return all rows from the table in Enterprise Manager the field is empty.
So I tried to manually copy the data from the MS Access Database into SQL Server. Could not figure out if SQL Server has an interface like MS Access to simply copy data into a table. So I linked to the tables from MS Access to the SQL Server table.
When I opened the linked table I see the data in the description field. However, if I return the rows from within SQL Server no data is present.
I have some ASP code trying to read the data in the SQL Server table. However, nothing is returned and when I run the SQL Statement, nothing gets returned. The SQL statement returns all rows. All the other data is present but nothing in the description field.
What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions anyone, please!
Hi people,I?m trying to alter a integer field to a decimal(12,4) field in MSACCESS 2K.Example:table : item_nota_fiscal_forn_setor_publicofield : qtd_mercadoria integer NOT NULLALTER TABLE item_nota_fiscal_forn_setor_publicoALTER COLUMN qtd_mercadoria decimal(12,4) NOT NULLBut, It doesn't work.

How can I create a decimal(12,4) field via script in MSACCESS?Thanks,Euler Almeida--Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.com
Dear All,I have written an update trigger that should write a message to an audittable When I try to update any field in the table I recieve the followingerror message -[ODBC Sql Server Driver] [Sql Server] Stirng or Binary data would betrunicated[ODBC Sql Server Driver] [Sql Server] The statement has been termined.I have looked and what has been suggested is to use the response.write len()to check the length of field that I am updating. Being fairly new toSQL-Server, I do not know how to do this. Any help will be most welcome.Thanks,Jeff
i am migrating access database to sql server2005. there is field with datatype "MEMO" in access. can anebody tell me what is the compatible datatype for memo in sqlserver2005 I tried with varchar,varchar(max). the field in access database conatains large comments
Hi, currently i am doing discussion forum for my project. What I want to ask is what data type that I have to set for the message. Previously I am using nvarchar which I thought it would be ok, but when the time I save the message the ENTER command is become space in the database. For example I type
Message 1 Message 2
When I save into the database it become
Message 1 Message 2
I am new in using MS SQL server 7, so please give any suggestion about this.
I have an access database that I am about to move over to SQL Server. In there I have member table that has a memo field. This table has the potential to grow quite big. My question is: what issues does having a large text field have on my database. Will it slow down my updates, searches or inserts? I plan on using this field for such things like a biography of the member. Is using a text field the best way to go, or should I look at text files instead? Many thanks,
I am updating a Sql Server 7.0 DB to Sql Server 2005 Standard
I have to update Sql Server tables with Paradox 4.5 (DOS) data, with DTS in 7.0 this was no problem.
In Visual Studio I use the OLE DB Jet 4.0 driver with the extended property "Paradox 4.x" The package runs well if there is no Memofield or the Memofield has only a few characters. If there is an Memofield filled with more than 250 Characters the preview and the data flow faults. If I use "DBASE IV" on a dBase-table there is no error, but the NTEXT-Field in Sql Server has only one character " "
What can I do to get Paradox-data with Memofields?
Other problem:
I am missing the OLE DB Jet 4.0 Data Source in the Import/Export-wizard in Sql Server Management Studio.
Does anyone know what datatype I could use to store a large amount of text? I just started using sql two days ago and still trying to become familar with it. Took me a whole day to set up a damn trusted connection.....newbie
I'm using MSAccess 2k as a front end to a SQL Server 2k database.
I have a user set up in SQL Server to be database owner for a specific database.
Using NT authentication.
Using ADO.
The MSAccess application executes a store procedure on the SQL Server that (1) deletes a tables if it exists, (2) creates and populates a table (the owner shows up in Enterprise Manager as the user name) and then (3) uses the table (read) in a join to do some other processing.
The (1) delete works fine. The (2) table is created and populated fine. On (3) the Select (inner join) to do the aditional processing I get an error message that the table name used is an invalid object.
Workaround. If I create the table as sa separately and in the store procedure, instead of deleting, creating and populating the table I merely truncate the table and then repopulate it, everything works fine.
I would prefer to not have the table sitting around the database all the time.
Anyway, I'd like to figure out why the table is causing a problem.

I am getting below error when exporting data from SQL Server 2005 to MS Access.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PROCESSINPUTFAILED. The ProcessInput method on component "OLE DB Destination" (1706) failed with error code 0xC0202009. The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.

I would like to pull some data from a SQLServer database, and save it into an Access MDB file (which can be empty to start). I would then zip up the MDB and download it to the user.
I am seeking advice on the most "elegant" or "efficient" way to do this. Here are some ideas I have been considering:
1) Should I start with an empty template MDB and file-copy it before I populate it? Or is there a neat way in ASP.NET to allocate a brand new MDB outright?
2) I could read the SQLServer data into a Dataset object. I could then open a connection to the MDB, create a table object, defining all the columns, etc., and then I could write the data to the new table object. BUT ... I have a hunch there is a nifty ADO.NET way to save the data already in the Dataset object right into the MDB (creating the table and columns as a matter of course) ... all with an instruction or two (or three). Any ideas?
We have a MSSQL 2000 db, with several MSAccess 2000 adp interfaces connected to it.
Several bit data type fields of the tables are updated through those interfaces, but from time to time (I can find no pattern when it happens), flagged fields (i.e. with value 1) are unflagged (they get value 0), without any user interaction on that field (neither in the tables, neither through the checkboxes).
SELECT Hist_POS.POSITION_CLASS_CODE, First(Hist_POS.POSITION_TITLE) AS FirstOfPOSITION_TITLE INTO [Manhour Positions] FROM Hist_POS GROUP BY Hist_POS.POSITION_CLASS_CODE ORDER BY Hist_POS.POSITION_CLASS_CODE;
But not SQLServer because of First(). How can I achieve the same results in SQLServer?
I am having issues with MSAccess and MS SQL for a new client. It worked in the past, but I cannot talk to the old computer guy?!# Here's the scoop. It uses an Access front end and ODBC to conect to the MS SQL 7.0 server. In the office they use a system DSN named DATA to connect using NT authentication. I've got the firewall configured for the two employees static ip addresses to goto the MS SQL server. On the remote machines, I have added a system DNS named DATA as well that uses MS SQL authentication. I setup the remote user accounts on the MS SQL server. Now heres the problem. I can test the ODBC from the remote omputer and it works.At first I could not get into teh database at all. I went in and updated the Access file connection strings to include a username and password. Now I can get into the Access front end and access the main page. (IT has a couple of buttons - Shpping, Inventory, Management, etc.) I can even click on these buttons and pull up the next page. (For example I can click on the management button and pull up a list of new buttons- one of which is Auto Exec Bob) NOw when I click autoexec bob or any of the others it takes a while and then give me an error. (SQLState 28000 MS SQL error: 18452 Login failed for user null. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server Connection.) If I click ok then I have a box that lets me uncheck the use trusted connection and sign in using my remote username and pass that I setup. Eventually I can access everything - one step at a time.Each time it tries to connect to the database it takes about thirty seconds to time out, then gives me this error message and I can log on again. Any help to sort this out would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

We are using .Net Framework 2.0. Does it have anything to do with lowering down the performance ?
