Hey guys, how can I use a long text as default value in my database (column properties)?
I tried to paste my 10 row text into the field but it will only paste the first row as default value.
any ideas??
Ok I have a script to generate a database, and newly added to the database is a date fild for a specfic table. I have the 'Default value or binding' set to (getdate()) how exactly would you add that to the script for then the table is initialy generated. Or is it soemthing I would need another script to do right after the table generation.This is the script for the table in question:CREATE TABLE [dbo].[cust_file] ( [id] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL , [customer_id] [int] NULL , [filename] [varchar] (255) NULL , [filedata] [image] NULL , [contenttype] [varchar] (255) NULL , [length] [int] NULL, [added_date] [datetime] NULL) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]GO
Any help would be great,Tim MeersWannabe developer.
Hi there,
I'm trying to set an int type attribute to 0 for its Default Value, but it keeps reverting to ((0)). What is causing this?
Every int type attribute on that table does the same. There is one bit type attribute and a bunch of other type of attributes, but non of them are giving me a problem. The table is a copy from another database and I did check all the constraints and properties to make sure they're the same.
Thank you,

I just moved from Access to SQL 2005 Express. I have a table with contains a Column contactDate datetime. Under the properties tab ( in SQL Manager ), I see a field "Default Value or Binding".
I would like to have a default date/time entered into this field when a new record is created. In Access I used the Now() to get this done. Any sites that list some of the values that can be entered into this field?
TIA - RR
Is it possible to define a Default value of a column as a select statement (or stored procedure that executes that select)?
My select should look sth like this in order to replace 'AB1236':
select 'AB' + cast((max(substring(col1, 3, 4)) + 1) as varchar(6)) from t_table1
col1 (varchar (6))
....
AB1233
AB1235
Hi,I have a column (type: datetime) in which I want to load the current date and time.What should I fill in in the default value or binding so that SQL server automatically fills this column?Thanks!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to have an authorized person set or change the default values of a table column in a SQL Database. I have a stored procedure that sets the default which works fine: ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[addMyConst]ASBEGINALTER TABLE [dbo].[tbl1]ADD DEFAULT 70 FOR [Auto_ourlim]END(I still need to put parameters in so that I can run the stored procedure from a form, but for now....)
To change it I know that I have to drop the constraint first like this:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[dropmyValue]ASALTER TABLE [dbo].[tbl1] DROP CONSTRAINT [Auto_ourlim]
The problem is that when I execute the procedure I get the error that "Auto_ourlim" is not a constraint so it does not drop the Default Value. When I go over to SQL Server Management Studio Express I can see why:
If I open up the table and open up the Constraints the constraint is "DF__tbl1__Auto_ourli__5FB337D6". I could change the DROP CONSTRAINT to this, and that works, but it changes every time I add the new DEFAULT VALUE. I don't know how to get around it. Is there a way to put wildcards around "Auto_our" in DROP CONSTRAINT [Auto_ourlim}? Any suggestions would be welcome...even if there's a totally different way to do it.
What I'm trying to ultimately accomplish is this: Column1 (AutoLimits) would be user insert to the database and then in the database it would MINUS Column2 (Auto_ourlim - set with the default value) = Column3 (Difference - a computed field in the database)

Hi,
How can you bind to a text box, (or any other non binding control) to a datasource?
Many thanks
Hi,
I have a really simple question. I have a web form with a couple text boxes and check boxes. I want to get data from my DB and set the values to the controls. Right now this is how my code looks:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dim cmdSelect As Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
Dim CnDB As Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
Dim strSQL As String
'Build Select StatementstrSQL = "Select LoginName, UserName, [Status] " & _
"FROM SmallToolSystemUser " & _"WHERE LoginName = '" & strLoginName & "' " & _
"AND UserID = " & intUserID & " "
'I must take the connection string and put it back in the web.config file. For now i am having problems getting it from thereCnDB = New Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection("Data Source=ORION;Initial Catalog=eisTEST;Persist Security Info=false;User ID=User;Password=password")
Try
CnDB.Open()Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write("Cannot open the database connection ")
Exit Sub
End TrycmdSelect = New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(strSQL, CnDB)
cmdSelect.CommandType = Data.CommandType.Text
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am a classic ASP guy so I am used to recordset and old text1.text = RS("value") approach. I have done some work in ASP.Net 1.0 and my code in there used datareaders. Can someone give me some guidance here.
Much appreciated
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
Hi,I have a problem to insert(update) a long text (more than 64K) intoSQL 2000 (datatype - 'text'). It cuts the data and insert only 64K.MSDN says: "When the ntext, text, and image data values get larger,however, they must be handled on a block-by-block basis. BothTransact-SQL and the database APIs contain functions that allow applications towork with ntext, text, and image data block by block." Could somebodygive me an example how to do this, please.Thank you

You should use readtext and writetext to access text column. By the way, nchar and nvarchar can hold up to 4000 characteres.

How long exactly is the text datatype in non-unicode characters for SQLS7? I guess I need to find out how long my input is and break it up into multiple text fields, but what's the max length?

Good day,
I have a database table that is populated by bulk insert of a text file. This file is not comma delimetated and there are no line end characters, just one very long string, although the file is fixed length.
As I said I now have this long string in my SQL Server 2005 table. Is there a fast way to split this up into multiple rows?
Say for instance I have a string of 100 characters and each row would be made up of 10 characters. Is there a easy way to split this into the 10 rows or 10 characters using just a SQL statement?
Please can someone help.
Thanks
Hi all,
Newbie here, just wanted to get that out of the way first
and foremost.
Im trying to set up a DB in SQL 2000 that allows me to enter
lots of text into a column.
I read one site where it said to use the NTText datatype with a length
of 16. I did that, but everytime I enter alot of text into that column
I get <Long Text> and I dont know how to output that or even
read it.
Do any of you guys know how to either:
1. get the text out of the <long text> or
2. a better way to store that much data.
Thank you in advance!!!

Hi,I asked this in an MS Access newsgroup, but no one has answered. Since italso applies to SQL Server, maybe someone in here has an answer? I actuallydo have the same problem in both SQL Server 2000 and Access 2000.When I click in certain records in a memo field, I get the error message"text too long to be edited", and I can't get into the record to make anychanges.I tried exporting the record to html, but only part of the memo field isexported.I know that in SQL Server, you can increase the size of the field, but youcan't do that in an Access memo field (that I know of!).I'm thinking that if I could get into the field and lose some of the whitespace, it would help, but I can't get into the field, and can't get the dataout, either!Does anyone know anything about this?Thanks, Jill~

Hello,
I would like to know as to what data type is the best if I want to store MP3's and large amount of text in a SQL server.
Please let me know about the data type for both the tasks.
The table for MP3 is different than the table for large text (eg . saving somebody's resume)
Please do let me know.
Thank you,

Hey Guys I knwo this may sound impossible but lets say I have a number of fields one of which is a Long blob or long text
is there a way to have MYSQL search the blobs for keywords and then to extract them to other fields?
basically what I am asking is it possible to parse a long text blob for keywords and then grab data before or after those keywords?/
anyone know a way???
I know that similar items have been posted before but I have not found a solution to my issue by reading them.
I have a text field which holds amendment details and it cannot be updated through QA. I have 50 records which I have had to manually update through Enterprise Manager. I have been able to edit the amendment details field of 48 of these records. However for 2 records the amendment details field contains <long text> and as we all know, there does not seem to be an easy way to edit these.
Before I give up for good, does anyone have any suggestions?
Help much appreciated.
I have a question that has a co-worker and myself confused. We are using the SQL Server Enterprise Manager. When I select return all rows in my tables, any content that is too long will appear as <Long Text> on my co-workers machine, but the column is blank on my machine. Is there a property or configuration that enables/disables <Long Text>? I am confused as to why it appears on other machines, but not mine.
Your help is appreciated.

I have an ASP page that will take form info that a user has entered,then save it into SQL server, and retrive and display the info onanother page. My problem is with long text data (10,000 bytes ormore). It appears to save the long text data, as in it gives noerrors... but it does not save it. In the SQL table, the field isdefined as ntext... So why won't it save?Thanks in advance,adam

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a dtsx package that works fine with one exception. When I open the dtsx package in BI, it gives me the following message:
Document contains one or more extremely long lines of text. These lines will cause the editor to respond slowly when you open the file. Do you still want to open the file?
When I respond yes, the package opens and I can edit or execute with no problem. Still, I want to understand what could cause this message to occur and, more importantly, how I can get rid of the message. When I try to simply execute the package I still get the same error and it seems this will be a problem for trying to run the package from SQL Server agent.
It seems likely to me that this message refers to the dtsx file (in xml format) itself. Does that make any sense?
