Q
1)How do insert a Qoute after the the last digit on this number '2208ZX12 so it looks like '2208ZX12' in sql 2000.Please show me an easier and faster way cause l have 14000 records.
Ans:- update SomeTable
set SomeField = rtrim(SomeField) + char(39)
where right(rtrim(SomeField),1) <> ''''
Thanks Bill for the solution it works.What l need now is an explanation so l can understand what l just did. Am l right in saying that the reason the char is 39 is to ensure that all fields regardless of length will have the qoute inserted at the end? What if the insert was to be at the beggining how would the query look like?
explain this portion (where right(rtrim(SomeField),1) <> '''') why those two qoutes?Thx a mil

Q. Initialy l wanted to insert a quote at the beginning and end of the filed. But l went on to try and insert a comma after the quote. Below are the steps that l followed. It basically gave me what l wanted to see but the problem is that ist got spaces in between which are too big and l getting an error as listed below.
Error Message Server: Msg 8152, Level 16, State 9, Line 3 String or binary data would be truncated. The statement has been terminated. '1000101DF000' ,'1000101DF002' ,'1000101DF004' ,'1000101DF006' ,'1000101DF008' ,'1000101DF010' ,'1000101DF012'
What am l doing wrong from step 4? Is it possible to insert quote and a comma then remove the last comma in the table not printing to screen like l'm doing? If so how. Thx for the help thus far
Step 1:- /** Select a 100 records then insert the characters **/ select top 100 * into Temp1 from Temp
Step 2 :- /** Insert a quote at the beginning of a record **/ update Temp1 set field = char(39) + rtrim(field) where left(Field,1) <> ''''
Step 3 : /** Insert a quote at the end of a record **/ update Temp1 set Field = rtrim(Field) + char(39) where right(rtrim(Field),1) <> ''''
Step 4 : /** Inserting a comma after the qoute at the end of the record **/ Declare @Temp1 Varchar(200) Set @Temp1 = '' Update Temp1 Set @Temp1 = @Loan2 + Temp1 + ',' Set @Temp1 = Substring(@Temp1,1,len(@Temp1)-1) -- to remove extra comma at the end print @Temp1
I have a web page where the user can select the language (FR, EN, BG, ...) in a drop down list.

Hi,I'm new at asp .net and am having a problem. On a linkbutton click event, I want to insert into my db a row of data which includes two parameters. Param1 is the id of the logged in user, and Param2 is <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, 'UserId')%> which is the username of a user given through a datalist.When I execute the query: "insert into aspnet_friendship (userId, buddyId) values (@Param1, @Param2)"I get the error: Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier.I am trying to insert these into my table aspnet_friendship into the columns userId and buddyId which are both uniqueidentifier fields. I tested the query using the same values (@Param1, @Param1) and (@Param2, @Param2) and found out that the problem is with Param2 because when I use Param1 the insert works perfectly. The value passed by Param2 is supposed to be the id of a user which I get from the datalist which selects * from aspnet_Users, so that <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, 'UserId')%> should also be an Id like Param1 is. Since both params are in the form of .toString(), I don't understand why one works but the other doesn't.As you can see in the code below, both of these parameters are dimmed as strings, so I don't understand why Param2 doesn't work.

I have a table like this below and it doesn't only contain English Names but it also contain Chinese Name. CREATE TABLE Names (FirstName NVARCHAR (50), LastName NVARCHAR (50)); I tried to view the column using SQL Query Analyzer, It didn't display Chinese Character. I know that SQL Server 2005 is using UCS-2 Encoding and Chinese Character uses Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) Encoding. I want to read the FirstName and LastName columns and display in Window Form Data Grid and ASP.NET Grid View. I tried to use this code below and it didn't work. It convert some of the English Name to Chinese Character and it display the chinese character and some still in the original unreadable characters. Does anybody know how to read those character from SQL Table and display the correct Chinese Character without converting the English Name into Chinese also? Thanks

Hi, Anytime I BCP data from a table containing characters like ö it gets muddled up when I look at it in the text file. The code page of the NT OS is 850 and the character is included in it. Why is the character changed during the BCP ?
Ok this is going to be a little hard to describe but here goes
I have a table within which one column is used to store a SQL select statement as a string. This means that the whole select statement has to be enclosed within two ' characters. The problem is that the SQL statement itself contains these characters. The specific SQL statement i wish to save as a string is:
select '<A HREF=DisplayOnlyDiscipline?SESSION_ID=' + :SESSION_ID + '&DISP_REF=' + cast(DISP_REF as varchar) + '&EDIT_REF=' + :EDIT_REF + '>' + cast(DISP_REF as varchar) + '</A>' as Reference, V.DESCRIPTION as Discipline_Stage, DISP_DATE as Date from DISCPLIN D left outer join V_DISP V on (V.CODE = D.DISP_CODE) where EMPLOY_REF = :EDIT_REF order by DISP_DATE DESC
I'm using MS SQL intelligence studio's SSIS import wizard to import some Excel files into SQL tables and for certain fields I'm getting this strange character instead of NULL. Does anyone know what this character is, how to avoid it, or a SQL query that will get rid of it? I can't even copy it to my clipboard.
Hi I have got a column having data like RT 12.5R20 (P) OL RT 12.5R244(SP)GRADER
I want only need the value before '('. So, the result will be RT 12.5R20 and RT 12.5R244 Since the length of the character will change. Is there any funtions in T-SQL that I can use to achieve this? Thanks

I have a SQL Server 2000 database which uses a Cyrillic collation. The database itself is in English, but some of the tables contain text which use the Cyrillic character set. When creating an ODBC connection to the database, ODBC forces me to have the "Translate character data" option set, which means that a query or stored procedure parameter containing Cyrillic characters have the Cyrillic characters translated to plain ascii. Data returned from a query or SP with Cyrillic characters work fine.
So the question is: how can I send Cyrillic (unicode) strings to an English SQL Server, without it translating the characters between Workstation and Server? Ideas appreciated.
I've forgotten the character set that I've chosen when I was installing the SQL Server 7. Is there a way to check?
I'm currently using US English version of Windows NT4 and SQL7. But interestingly, all the data is in Japanes characters. It's actually for a Japanese website, and the front-end application is written in ASP. I remember reading somewhere that it is impossible to do certain type of sorting (by some particular order for the Japanese language) as it is limited by the choice of the language of the NT OS.
The type of sorting that I'm looking at is the grouping of 5-characters. One example is in http://www.forest.impress.co.jp/aiueo.html
Would this be possible with my current setup? Or would it help if I migrate over to Windows 2000? (I'd rather not move to Japanese NT4)
Your feedback and advice would be very much appreciated!
How do I replcae an 'enter' character with a space in a field? This extra spaces entered in the web form while populating the field is causing extra spaces in the field. What is the ASCII value for the 'enter' character? so that we can replace that with a space? Thanks. sa.
Hello, I am from the school of thought that you should in every case have your primary keys as numeric values only. However, where I currently work there is a project leader who is a recent FoxPro convert (I know, they are tough ones to crack). I made the suggestion recently that the keys in the table should be numeric and with him being the project leader and me just a lowely developer he said get lost. I made the point that later joining your tables together in a PK/FK relationship where the keys where character would be slower then with numeric keys. He didn't listen and now we are approaching production with a database that is really just a bunch of text file. He said that with SQL 7 it doesn't matter if the pk is numeric or character. I disagree. But I need solid documentation to take to him and to the managers to convince them. If anyone out there could advise me on this. And if anyone could give me or tell me where I could find documentation on why even in SQL 7 there is a need to use numeric keys that would be a great help and you would be making one more shop in this world a little bit more technically sound :-) Thank you in advance for your help.
I tried changing the character set of my database..transfering it btw two servers, first one with codepage850 and the second one with iso. As I expected the characters where not automatically transformed and I got some accents that are wrong. Could anyone telle me how to transform this...do I need a filter or something ?
I tried searching for "escape character", "quotes", etc, but they didn't work.
I'm having troubling inserting data into my tables, if they have an apostrophe or double quotes. I know that MySQL's escape character is "", but I tried it for MS SQL and it didn't work. HOW DO I INSERT DATA INTO MY DB THAT HAS AN APOSTROPHE OR DOUBLE QUOTE? Thanks.
I'm trying to search for all records that contain a quotation character in the database. These records were migrated from a mainframe system.
I use the following command: %'%
The results are: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Unclosed quotation mark before the character string ' order by cliLastName, cliFirstName, cliBirthName'.
/ladds/lib/getrecordset.asp, line 6
Is there a way to override the quotation character temporarily?
