Is there a way to alter the default 256 value to some other value in a transac SQL script?
The value can be changed manually in the advanced tab of the current connection options. I need to be able to set and reset this value in a script and/or stored procedure.
Kind of urgent for an answer to this problem.
Thanks in advance.
How many characters can be used in a query?
Say I have a query that inserts into a varchar(4000). I need to do ~100 of them. Can all this data be passed at once. Or would I need to break it up?
Thoughts?

In a query Analyser, there is a provision to change the "Maximum characters per column 256 " to our size in advanced option.
It works ok.
We are using VisualInterdev for developing ASP's -- there
thro ADO - we are getting the rows from sql server 7.0 -- there data more than
256 characters are truncated.
How will i get the actual data ?.. where i can do the settings..?

On table TABLENAME, I have increased the size of column C to decimal(38, 14); maximum size and an excessive amount of precision.
If I do a
SELECT MAX(CONVERT(DECIMAL(7,2), A) / B) FROM TABLENAME
SELECT MIN(CONVERT(DECIMAL(7,2), A) / B) FROM TABLENAME
I get 3.0000000000000 for the MAX and 0.1000000000000 for the MIN value, yet if I update
UPDATE TABLENAME SET C = CONVERT(DECIMAL(7,2), A) / B WHERE B <> 0
Msg 8115, Level 16, State 8, Line 1
Arithmetic overflow error converting numeric to data type numeric.
The statement has been terminated.
Obviously I have obscured the column names and table name, but I am puzzled as to why values in the range 0.1 to 3.0 should give an overflow error.

I have some code I build 2 weeks ago which I’ve been running daily but it’s suddenly stopped working with the following error.
“The table "tbl_Intraday_Tmp" has been created, but its maximum row size exceeds the allowed maximum of 8060 bytes. INSERT or UPDATE to this table will fail if the resulting row exceeds the size limit” When I google this there seems to be a related to tables with vast numbers of columns.
My table tbl_Intraday_tmp is relatively small. It has 7 columns. 1 of varchar(5), 3 of decimal(9,3) and 2 of decimal(18,0). The bit I’m puzzled with is it was working and stopped.
I don’t recall changing anything but I wouldn’t rule that out. I ‘ve inspected the source files and I don’t believe they have changed either.
DECLARE
@FileName varchar(50),
@Path varchar(50),
@SqlCmd varchar(1000)

INSERT or UPDATE to this table will fail if the resulting row exceeds the size limit.

is there any more efficient way for example to implement the next query?
SELECT s1.article, dealer, s1.price
FROM shop s1
JOIN (
SELECT article, MAX(price) AS price
FROM shop
GROUP BY article) AS s2
ON s1.article = s2.article AND s1.price = s2.price;
WHERE dealer = 'dealer sample'
What indexes I should create for this query?

I recieve data where I am comparing zip codes from raw data, to a zip code table. The columns I am matching are in integers.
The issue is that in the raw data, sometimes the zip code is extended to more than the 5 characters in the zip code table so I am getting null value returns
A sample of this is in the raw data is:
Zipcode
54303
54304786
78641
Is there a way I can have it compare only the first 5 digits of the zip codes in the raw data zip code column to the zip code table? Or would I have to convert the data type? Or alter or truncate the characters somehow? If so, please include how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I've got an issue - I've got a needed query that executes fine, etc..etc...
the issue is , 1 or more columns (depending) are of TEXT data type - and by virtue of potentially poor front end data entry design - they have large strings stored in each record - much of these strings are made even larger ( in char size ) because of html being stored in the db -- from a design point of view - I blame who ever designed the CMS system that allows this --- thats neither here nor there
The issue is I need these fields and their respective "description" data. BUT I also need to export it to something usable my a marketing department.
The issue lies in that MSSQL Studio - which in grid reports the columns, values, etc..etc.. fine - upon .CVS export - INSTEAD OF TRUNCATING @ THE MAX CHAR LENGTH PER COLUMN (8126 or something) IT PUSHES THE REMAINING TEXT TO THE NEXT COLUMN.
big problem --- to be honest, I dont really need all the data - even just like 500 characters would be more then enough
my question : Is there a way to limit column return lenght @ the query level ? (NOT a truncation of table)
Thanks!
EDIT:
HRMMM - Why not covert to varchar(XXX) size?
trying that
We have identity functionality for integer , Similarly i want for characters .i.e.
EX:
ID Name Sal
CD101 A 1000
CD102 B 2000
CD103 C 3000
CD104 D 4000
CD105 E 5000
I want output like above, I wont provide Value for ID column. It it should take automatically while inserting data into table.(like identity column)? Is it possible in SQL Server?
I need a query to simply return rows where a column has less than 10characters (nvar).thanks.rjl

Hi,
this is my second attempt to get an answer to this question.
We want to strip our firstName column and lastname column of any punctuation that might be present.
What's the best of doing that?
Is my only choice to write a nested REPLACE for each character we want replaced (which will end up being very very long) or is there another way.
thanks

I'm adding data to a text column, and whenever I have a backslash at the end of a line it disappears. Here's an example:
Code:
INSERT INTO MyTable (TextCol) VALUES ('some text
some more text
yet more text')
The on the first line is fine- the on the 2nd line just disappears. If I add a 2nd backslash on the end of the line, one is inserted. If I add a space to the end of the line, everything works as normal. I can fix this client-side, but before I do I'd really like to know what's going on?

I have written this query to return only numeric characters from a string.
select *
from TableA
where isNumeric(Column_A) = 1
But I have discovered that the following
SELECT IsNumeric('-')
SELECT IsNumeric('')
SELECT IsNumeric('$')
SELECT IsNumeric('+')
all return a value of 1. I do not want these in my result set.
If I use Column_A NOT LIKE '%[a-z]%' and Column_A <> '' I get characters such as "", ----- etc in my result set.
I would like a simple way of only returning numbers in my resultset.
Thanks for looking at this.
I am using SQL Server 2008. In one of my table, one column has values like
"MFY RLHH CSQÉ"
"Aamj Gxmolwn Slf Yytrzgan Hiwd Fnlmyw"
So to fetch the data having only special characters in it, I used below query
Select * From Table Where Column Like '%[^0-9a-zA-Z]%' Escape ' '. Its returning both the records. Here I would like to fetch records for those Unicode characters only which are not within 00201 - 0070E [URL].
