When I use for instance:
SELECT
FORMAT(BegDate,"dd.mm.yyyy")
FROM TABLE1
result is - |BegDate|22.12.2013.......................|
Is there any way to limit length of string returned from FORMAT function .
Database is on ACCESS.
when I am trying to perform below query,
INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE
SELECT TOP 100 *
FROM EMPLOYEE_LANDING;
I am getting Invalid length parameter passed to the LEFT or SUBSTRING function.
I'm running into this error message when passing in a few records in particular to a function, the only difference I could find is that these recods have about 60k characters on the field that I'm passing to a function.
is there a max lenght for passing to a function?
select function ( field) as results
It's been working fine until today and all of the related fields are declared as nvarchar(max)
Thank you.
Does anyone know the command length in characters limit for a job step?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm dynamically attaching some files to an email. I'm using an expression to build something similar to this:
@[User::FilePath] + @[User::FileName1] + (DT_STR,30,1252)YEAR( GETDATE()) + (DT_STR,30,1252)MONTH( GETDATE()) + (DT_STR,30,1252)DAY( GETDATE()) + ".csv" + "|" + @[User::FilePath] + @[User::FileName2] + (DT_STR,30,1252)YEAR( GETDATE()) + (DT_STR,30,1252)MONTH( GETDATE()) + (DT_STR,30,1252)DAY( GETDATE()) + ".csv"
BOL says to use a pipe delimiter to send multiple attachments. This works if I only have a couple of files. Once I get a few more attachments built in the expression builder I get a truncation error. If I build the whole expression in notepad and past it into the property window it also gets truncated. I see in the MSDN library that some expressions may be limited to 4000 bytes. I'm nowhere near that. Maybe a thousand bytes at most.
Question 1: Does anyone know if certain expressions have smaller byte limits?
Question 2: Is there a smaller byte limit for the file attachment value?
Question 3: Is there way I could build this string outside of the file attachment property and assign it to a variable and then use this variable in the file attachment property?
Thanks in advance for any help!!!

Is there a way to limit the number of rows returned by a SqlDataReader? I know I can do it by modifying the Stored Procedure, but I'd rather not modify a procedure that is used in multiple apps. I'm hoping there is something easy like setting SqlDataReader.RowsReturned = 100, but that might be too easy to hope for.

SQL Server 2012.If I create a table with 307 columns, all of type nvarchar(50), it works. If I add another column of type nvarchar(50), it works but I get a warning:

In my ASP page, when I select an option from the drop down list, it has to get the records from the database stored procedure. There are around 60,000 records to be fetched. It throws an exception when I select this option. I think the application times out due to the large number of records. Could some tell me how to limit the number of rows to be returned to avoid this problem. Thanks.

I have no problem getting OLE DB Command transformations to support single returns by a procedure.
For example, exec name_of_procedure ?,?,? OUTPUT
However, I have a stored procedure which accepts 1 input and returns 5 outputs. This procedure works fine at the command line but when I try to incorporate it into a OLE DB Command I don't get the multiple values returned. There's no problem at all configuring the transform as it recognizes all input and output parameters. For some reason I just don't get values returned.
thanks

Is there a string handling function is SQL which will return the length of the contents of a field?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMySQL has a convenient syntax for paging data that looks like this:
SELECT * FROM MyTable LIMIT 10, 20
That would select 10 records, starting from record 20, so that it returns records 20 - 30. This is convenient way to page data, without returning anymore rows than than you need.
However, MS SQL doesn't appear to support that syntax. What is the equivalent sql code to select any N rows from an arbitrary starting point, without having to create a stored procedure?
Thanks in advance :)
Hello!
I have a table in an SQL database, in which I have a field in datetime format.
In my aspx page I would like to get the date the user chooses from an asp: calendar I have and submit it to the DB.
I already have all the code ready, the datasource, the gridview, all other fields to submit, and I just added a template field with the asp:calendar so that the user could choose a date.
I´m getting this error when I run the page: "Conversion from type 'Date' to type 'Boolean' is not valid."
It seems to be a problem about the date that is given by the Calendar object (?) and the one I should submit to my DB.
Here´s the part of the code where I have my standard Calendar binded to the correspondant field: <asp:Calendar ID="Calendar1" runat="server" SelectedDate='<%# Bind("data") %>' Visible='<%# Eval("data") %>'> </asp:Calendar>
I´m gessing I should probably change the format of the date somehow before submit it to the DB, but how?
Thank you all,

Is there a way to set what value is returned via app_name function?
I have a SQL Server 2005 database that is written to by a MS Access front end... but I have users who have written their own access front ends that are manipulating data incorrectly. I want to allow the approved access applications but disallow the user written ones.
Application roles are not an option because there is also a propietary software package that writes to the databases that we would not be able to modify to work with application roles. Allowing a whitelist of named applications is my only way to pull this off.
How can I make MY access application report nameX instead of Microsoft Access or other similar generic name?
