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!
Maybe a stupid question but I'm new to the db admin work so please bear with me.
I've imported an Access db into SQL, in the Access db the field type was 'memo' to accomodate the large amount of text (on avg ruffly 4100 chars. with spaces). Now in SQL the field in the table I have set up as an ntext field, which I understood to be equivalent to a memo field in Access.
My problem is when saving data to the field the first time it saves all the data correctly with the exception of the field in question. The data in the field is '<LongText>', now when I try to update the data in the table I get a 'Data Truncated' error message and no update takes place throughout the table.
After testing this and trying different things, I've found that if I shorten this one field and try to save to the db I still get the 'Data Truncated' error message. If I shorten the data in the field AND delete the record from the SQL table then it will save just fine from there on out (which won't work for the reports).
I'm not sure what I'm missing here to get this to work the way it did in Access.
Loading thousands of records to the DB through bulk insert. There's one field NText which I have left NULL because it will be hard to gen dummy flat file to it.
I have another table which has the Ntext Value which i will want to copy and duplicate to the other table.
what is the way to do it?
simply said i want to update a record with NULL value from one table with NText field with the value from another table..
I am trying to view all the ntext from a profiler trace. The data istruncated at 256 and I am not sure why... The max length is 1820 viathis command:select max(datalength(textdata)) from "monitor forms usage"where textdata like '%gforms%' .I then issueset textsize 8000select (textdata) from "monitor forms usage" where textdata like'%gforms%' and datalength(textdata) >1800and still only 256 is returned. this is true even if I redirect theoutput to a file.Any ideas on how a humble man like me can see all of the data.Mike--Posted via http://dbforums.com
I'm trying to parse an ntext field that in my SQL View contains an invoice comment in order to be able to group on parts of the comment. I have two problems--one, the syntax to do this, and two, the best way to deal with the parts that I want.
The comment is like: "standard text ABCDE : $99.99" but can have multiple "ABCDE"s, e.g. "standard text ABCDE FGH IJKL $999.99" and I found some that had duplicates like "standard text standard text...". I want to be able to report in SSRS 2005 by grouping the "ABCDE", "FGH", "IJKL" items.
Any ideas? Please be specific as I'm still learning.

I am a newbie to SQL Server using SQL Server 2000.
I am trying to use a calculated field in a table, what I want is for the result to be shown as an integer (int)? However the fields that I base the calculation on are of the type (money), and the calculted field although giving me the correct result makes the field of type (money).
The fields that I am basing the calculation on are:-
The above report would list 2 columns as Description & Amount, next it would sort the Description column by GL_ID, next by Year 2005 & lastly by Period 08, with a net figure of asset minus liability.
Guys, hope someone out there can help me with the sql command for the above report?
I have a table and I need to have a calculated field which calculates GPA based on the letter grade they have, and only those grades that have subject as CHEM or BIO.
This may be an extremely simple question, but I am trying to combine two text fields (last name, comma, space and first name) into a new field that can be used as a GROUP in my report.
The title says it all. I've used ALTER DATABASE, and ALTER TABLE...ALTER COLUMN to change all my character fields from 'Compatibility_42_409_30003' to the default I want ('Latin1_General_CI_AI') on databases converted from SQL7. Now I just have these ntext fields to change...
Here is the example data <qMultipleChoice><qText>The%20AE%20understands%20what%20conditions%20the%2 0Account%20Manager%20is%20allowed%20to%20sign-off 20on.</qText><qChoice>Strongly20Disagree</qChoice><qChoice>Disagree </qChoice><qChoice>Agree</qChoice><qChoice>Strongly%20Agree</qCh
I want result look like this First Column:The AE Understands what conditions the Account Manager is allowed to sign-off. Second Column: Strongly Disagree Disagree Agree Strongly Agree
This is what i had so far Select (SUBSTRING(QuestionText, (PATINDEX(N'%<qText>%', QuestionText) + 7),(PATINDEX(N'%</qText>%', QuestionText) - (PATINDEX(N'%<qText>%', QuestionText) + 7)))) From tblQuestion
my result: The%20AE%20understands%20what%20conditions%20the%2 0Account%20Manager%20is%20allowed%20to%20sign-off%20on.
I have problem with replace '%20' and how to make the second column. Any Help? Thanks Shan
My Stored Proc runs through a loop and concats the contents of each field into one big nvarchar. Procedure works fine on a smaller scale but now it is being implemented on a very large table and the results of the sequel overflow the nvarchar limits. I looked into using text and ntext but both cannot be declared locally. Does anyone know how I can work aroudn this limitation?
Summary:The problem is that the temporary variable I am using (nvarchar) is too small to contain the robust size that the SQL is concating into it. The final field it winds up in is a text field and will be able to handle the amount of data, its just getting the data there is the issue..... Your thoughts please....
I need a calculated field C with several CASES. If (field A is 'daily' or 'half day' or 'hourly') and (field B is NULL) then C= D-50 If (field A is hourly and field B is NULL then C= 850I don't know sql server 2000 well enough to create this query.thanksMilton
I am used to working in MS Access where you can return a value as in: [date1]-[date2]=X
It will calculate that value provided "date1" and "date2" are fields in the recordset. One calc for each record. I am getting an error message in SQL Server saying that neither "date1" nor "date2" are not contained in an aggregate function and there is no "group by" clause. In Access this would not be a problem. Can you help? Thank you.
Right now I have one view that grabs records and sums up related records etc.... and returns a result. So basically it has the ID number and the number I calculated. THen I have another view that takes that number and performs calculations on it into three different columns. Is there any way to make these two view into one without a lot of repetative statements? Here is an example:
SELECT (tblTest.Quantity * tblTest.Price) as SubTotal, SubTotal * 1.06 as Total
Obviously that doesn't work, but what could I do to get that basic thing to work?
I have a Vehicle/Driver Inspection Database and I'm trying to create a Traffic Violation Point System, its a system when drivers commit certain traffic offences they will incur driving-offence points.
System: The points for violations that all occurred within the last 12 months of ONE ANOTHER are added together to calculate point total. If the accumulated points is reached 14 points driver is suspended the points will be REMOVED or minus 14 points after the suspension has been served.
Example:
Date of Offence - Number of Points Aug. 6, 2013 - 6 Feb. 4, 2014 - 4 Apr. 25, 2014 - 4 - 2 May 8, 2014 - 2
Explanation:
On April 25, 2014 two offences incurred and from (Aug 6, 2013 - Apr. 25 2014) 14 points have accumulated (6 + 4 + 4) and suspension is carried out then 14 points is removed. The 2nd offence on Apr. 25, 2014 will be carried forward and added to May 8, 2014 points (total 4 points).
Hiin T-SQL,(how) is it possible to concatenate 3 (varchar) fields into one; eitherin a SQL query or through a calculated field (or using a view, ifanybody can explain to me how to use views), according to the followingrules:{first 30 chars of Trim(AttributeVal1)if resulting string<30 chars append", " & first 30 chars of Trim(AttributeVal2)if resulting string<30 chars append", " & first 30 chars of Trim(AttributeVal3)}=> define as new field StockItemDescriptionideally I would like SQL Server to do this processing rather thanbuilding all these answer strings on the client side.tiaAxel

I have a quick question that i have just a simple calc field.
Field.Value-Field.value then i want to sort by the calculated results. The expression is fine i know it is written wrong here but i cannot figure how to sort by the result of the expression. Thanks.
I have a fairly simple SQL code that includes a calculated field (date difference) in Oracle. I am bring the data in a csv format, and its giving me nothing for that calculation. I checked the results in TOAD and they look fine. I know, i am missing something for the format but have tried everything. I am new to this so any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I am not sure why recordset is lossing that ntext field data?Because of this I am unable to display that data in web form. any ideas really appriciated. Thanks Ram
I am having an interesting error. I have a bunch of data that I am updating to a field in my sql server 7.0 database. It updates the data, however only puts the first 64,999 characters into the field. The datatype is ntext. From what I understand, ntext datatype can hold much more than 65,000 characters. Am I right in this? The data I'm putting into the field is html tags/text. I've tried several different data sets. I'm updating the data using Coldfusion/SQL commands.
Here is my SQL syntax:
UPDATE htmltest SET html_offline = '#form.html#' WHERE htmlid = #form.htmlid#
Hi, I've been reading all sorts of info on the ntext field.

i have a problem with copying (read it from one row and set it to another) a ntext field in a stored procedure. I know how to get a pointer to the data and how to read from it.
But i want to copy the whole data.
Does anybody know how to do that?
Thanks in advance
