NVarchar And SelectedValue And InsertCommand

Dec 19, 2007

Hi guys,
I've got a  problem  inserting data into my db.
I've created a NVARCHAR column and I'm using SelectedValue Parameters.
I only have a problem in the INSERT mode.
The UPDATE and DELETE are working fine.
All the fields can be updated or deleted, but I can't insert new data inside my db.
I've changed one column to NVARCHAR :   "reference"
I use NVARCHAR because I have some Arabic Fields (unicode) into my db.
But I've copy-pasted everything about the SqlDataSource.
10x a lot anyway !

 ASP.NET using MS Visual Studio 2005 :

.... 
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>"

        OldValuesParameterFormatString="original_{0}"
        OnDeleted="SqlDataSource2_Deleted"
        OnUpdated="SqlDataSource2_Updated"
        OnInserted="SqlDataSource2_Inserted"
        SelectCommand=
            "SELECT [reference], [ddf], [description], [quantity], [pru], [supname], [catname]
                FROM [Products]
                WHERE ([reference] = @reference)"
        InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [Products]
                ([reference], [ddf], [description], [quantity], [pru], [supname], [catname])
                VALUES (@reference, @ddf, @description, @quantity, @pru, @supname, @catname)"
        UpdateCommand="UPDATE [Products]
                SET [ddf] = @ddf,
                    [description] = @description,
                    [quantity] = @quantity,
                    [pru] = @pru,
                    [supname] = @supname,
                    [catname] = @catname
               WHERE [reference] = @original_reference"
               DeleteCommand="DELETE FROM [Products] WHERE [reference] = @original_reference">
       
        <SelectParameters>
            <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="GridView1" Name="reference" PropertyName="SelectedValue" Type="String" />     
        </SelectParameters>
       
        <InsertParameters>

Separate Dropdown List Selectedvalue Into Two Fields

Aug 1, 2006

i have two columns in a "release" table that i concatenate on my aspx page into one value for my dropdown list.  for example, my database columns might look likeMajor: 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 5Minor: 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1and my drop down list text like3.1 | 3.2 | 4.1 | 4.2 | 5.1my question comes when trying to take the drop down list's selected value and splitting it back into two fields so that i can use it for another query.  how can i split my "major" and "minor" version numbers back up so that i can run a query similar to:SELECT * FROM [Version] WHERE (([Major] = @Major) AND ([Minor] = @Minor))but only having the one parameter of: <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="ddlVersion" Name="Version" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" /> where the selected value has a string of "<major>.<minor>" (where the numbers are separated by a period)?

Two Inserts In One InsertCommand

Apr 11, 2007

I'm using a SQLDataSource and trying to do two inserts into two different tables with one InsertCommand, but it's not working. Here's the code I'm trying to use. Do you see anything wrong with the syntax? I keep getting an error that says error near ','  but I can't figure out why. Thanks
 
InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [OurProjects] ([Title], [Description], [Location], [Anchors], [Size], [Developer], [DesignBuilder], [Architect], [ImageName], [MapName], [ProjectTypeAbbrev], [Deleted]) VALUES (@Title, @Description, @Location, @Anchors, @Size, @Developer, @DesignBuilder, @Architect, @ImageName, @MapName, @ProjectTypeAbbrev, @Deleted),

Sqldatasource InsertCommand && Oracle Sequence.

Jan 10, 2006

I cannot get an Oracle sequence to work in an Sqldatasource InsertCommand:I've tried the following:
InsertCommand='INSERT INTO "WHSTSTICKETS" ("WHSTS_ID", "CUSTOMER_ID") VALUES (whsts_id.nextval,:CUSTOMER_ID)And: InsertCommand='INSERT INTO "WHSTSTICKETS" ("WHSTS_ID", "CUSTOMER_ID") VALUES (:Testing,:CUSTOMER_ID)<asp:Parameter DefaultValue="whsts_id.nextval" Name="testing" />AndInsertCommand='INSERT INTO "WHSTSTICKETS" ("WHSTS_ID", "CUSTOMER_ID") VALUES (whsts_id.nextval,:CUSTOMER_ID)
This is the classic error I get:ORA-01036: illegal variable name/numberI did review the asp.net forums before posting this.  As well, I've looked through the VWD 2005 documentation and cannot find the answer to this question.  Argg!  Any help is appreciated.   I've also worked to try and find out how to view the SQL that the Sqldatasource is generating, but I can't find the answer to this either.

Change The InsertCommand Of A Datasource Before Insert

Jun 8, 2006

Hi,
I am trying to set the InsertCommand of a SqlDataSource prior to a new record being created in DetailsView. It has to be changed because certain fields are not being used in one scenerio and it is causing Null's to be written to the database.
Here is what I have tried:
I set the Insert command on page Load:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SqlDataSource3.InsertCommand = "Insert into table (name,realName,type,extraValue) VALUES (@name,@realName,@type,@extraValue)";
}
But I don't want to insert the "extraValue if a certain condition is true so I want to change the insert command to SqlDataSource3.InsertCommand = "Insert into table (name,realName,type) VALUES (@name,@realName,@type)
I tried to do that in the following:
protected void DetailsView1_ItemInserted(Object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DetailsViewInsertedEventArgs e)
{
SqlDataSource3.InsertCommand = "Insert into table (name,realName,type,extraValue) VALUES (@name,@realName,@type,@extraValue)";
if (e.Exception != null)
{
ErrorMessageLabel.Text = "An error occured while entering this record. Please verify you have entered data in the correct format.";
e.ExceptionHandled = true;
Response.Write(e.Exception);
}
GridView1.DataBind();
GridView1.DataBind();
}
But it doesn't seem to change,
Any Help would be appreciated,
Doug

Compare Nvarchar(10) With Nvarchar(1000)

Sep 4, 2007

I had this question for quite a long time.

It seems the latter one don't take any extra storage space than the previous one.

As long as the real string length is less than 10.

Is that mean the latter one not cost anything?

I once heard the different is when they are in memory. But not sure of it.

Can anyone explain it and provide some official reference on it?

Thank.

Using Nvarchar(MAX) Instead Of Nvarchar(#)

Feb 19, 2008

Is it bad form to use nvarchar(MAX) in place of column types with specific lengths like nvarchar(50)? Are there performance issues? Because to me (a novice), it appears that I would save space by using nvarchar(MAX) everywhere.

Same question applies to varbinary(MAX) as well.

Thanks

NVARCHAR(MAX)

May 22, 2008



I have an SSIS pkg, that gets data from Lotusnotes db and loads into SQL Server, using ODBC Driver for Notessql driver . I have a comments, field, in Lotusnotes which has comments>8000 chars in lotusnotes. Hence I created my destn SQL Table with datatype NVARCHAR(MAX) so that it can uplaod the comments that are >8000 chars.
However, every time I run the ssis pkg , the destn table is bringing only 250 chars ONLY in the comments field , and truncates the rest of the chars.
And I see the reason is because, on my ODBC Serttings for Lotusnotes, There is a section for NOTESSQL options
where the "Max length of text fields" set to 254. hence it brings only 254 chars into SQL.
However, If I increase that option "Max length of text fields" to 8000 or some higher number, the sssis package errors out on the datareader source itself, err is"

"The output column 'comments' has a length that is not valid.

Pl advise how can I load all the comments which are more than 8000 chars from lotus notes into SQL, AND KEEPING THE ODBC settings, the "Max length of text fields" TO 254 Only.

Order By Nvarchar

Feb 2, 2007

I have a scenario to sort on an nvarchar (50) field and I need to keep any changes to the sproc in the ORDER BY clause if possible.  This field will contain strings such as...
abc-217c, abc-15a, abc-9a, abc-7b, abc-17ar, etc...
The issue I'm having is when the records are sorted, they are returned as...
abc-15a, abc-17ar, abc-217c, abc-7b, abc-9a,etc...ordering numerically on the first numeric character in the string ie, 1,1,2,7,9)
However, I need the numeric component to be treated as a whole number and order in this fashion...
abc-7b, abc-9a, abc-15a, abc-17ar, abc-217c (7,9,15,17,217, etc)
I feel pretty sure that this issue has come up before...can anybody provide a working example that would provide a simple(or not so simple) solution?

Converting Nvarchar To Int

Oct 28, 2004

Hello all,


I'm trying to convert a nvarchar datatype to int
(ie:1234-56-78 to 12345678) . These values are primary keys in two tables. Both these tables have 3500 rows of this key type. I want to convert this to a int so I can make it a AutoNumber primary key so I can increment it. Is this possible? If so, how do I do it. Do I need to delete the dashes first some how? I fairly new to database adminstration, so any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

So I have an existing table that looks like:


ID BIGINT
VAL VARCHAR(128)


I am converting this table to something that will be multi language compliant. My question is, I know that NVARCHAR's take double the space of a VARCHAR. Do I actually need to double the length of the VAL field to store the same amount of data or does the DB handle that?

Basically I want to store a 128 character NVARCHAR.. do I need to set my table up like this:


ID BIGINT
VAL NVARCHAR(256)

or


ID BIGINT
VAL NVARCHAR(128)

URLs (up to 260 bytes)
Addresses (50-300 bytes)

Nvarchar(50) To Datetime

Feb 29, 2008

Hi all, Please help.
I have created a new SQL dB and imported a table from Access to SQL.
my date columns in Access have been imported as nvarchar(50).
all dates are in the format dd/mm/yyyy.And there is no bad data

My problem is that in the table design of my new SQL Table, if I change the datatype from nvarchar(50) to datetime I get the error "Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime"

I know this is telling me that there is a problem with the format of some of the dates but all my dates are defo dd/mm/yyyy ,none of the data has format mm/dd/yyyy ie a 13th month.I know this because I cut the data down to just 2 pieces of data.
can someone help me get the format into datetime please
Ray..

Parse Nvarchar To Int?

Apr 4, 2008

Is there a way to parse a string to int? this is my example code. quote_id is a string i want to be treated as an int here.




Code Snippet
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetNextQuoteID]
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
-- Insert statements for procedure here
SELECT MAX(quote_id)+1 as id From Quote
END






Thanks

K
