Hello,
I need to know what kind of characters are NOT allowed in SQL literals and the way(s) to go around it.
In example:
Code:
' must be replaced by ''
I would greatly appreciate all the help you guys can provide me with.
Thank you for taking the time.
I want to create a function that searches for allowed characters within a table range (that contains the allowed characters) and replace any characters outside this range with a space.
For example -
'Bill123?', 'Jones12.z-'
'John&12/', 'QWERT123&4'
Wanted results – the single quotes are there to show the space for the replaced characters.
'Bill123 '
'Jones12.z '
'John&12 '
'QWERT123 4'
Example SQL data
CREATE TABLE [Common].[AllowedCharacters] (
[Character] [varchar](1) NOT NULL,
[Replacement] [varchar](10) NULL,
[AlwaysInclude] [bit] NOT NULL)
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING OFF
[code]....
The function will wrap around the column names and I know it can be done without a table validate the characters but it must be done this way.
How do I specify a date literal in an expresison? It's not covered in Books Online. None of the following worked:
mydate == '1899-12-30'
mydate == "1899-12-30"
mydate == #1899-12-30#
This did work:
mydate == (DT_DATE) 0
but it's not self-explanatory and it would be utterly stupid if that's the only way to specify a date literal. Are we once again victims of the "rushed-out-the-door" syndrome?
Hi, I was trying to run an insert statement which has subquery, But it is returning the error like this..
Subqueries are not allowed in this context. Only scalar expressions are allowed.
--------------
Is there a way to reparse the insert statement without have to assign the subquery to a temp value and insert it?
thanks..
Here is my SQL..
insert into admincriteria values (nextID,(select id from nodetable where description like 'Example - Quality Analytics'),8071,2,'Failures by Customer',2,0,0)
In my application I must store over 16000 character in a sql table field . When I split into more than 1 field it gives "unclosed quotation mark" message.
How can I store over 16000 characters to sql table field (only one field) with language specific characters?
Thanks
Hi everybody,
I would like to know if there is any property in sql2000 database to separate lowercase characters from uppercase characters. I mean not to take the values €˜child€™ and €˜Child€™ as to be the same. We are transferring our ingres database into sqlserver. In ingres we have these values but we consider them as different values. Can we have it in sqlserver too?

Note – values in column must be same
I have a sql select statement, then I have a datareader and I'm trying to loop through that reader and insert a record into another table each time until there are no more records in the loop. I'm not sure how to do this though without using 2 datareaders. Please help. Thanks

2 Dim cmdCommittee As New SqlCommand("Select * from committees_tbl where committee_id in" & _
3 "(" & strCommitteesRemoveLast & ") order by committee_name", conn_Insert)

6 Dim drCommittee As SqlDataReader = cmdCommittee.ExecuteReader()

12 Dim strCommitteeName As String = drCommittee("committee_name") 'retrieve committee_name from datareader

15 Dim strAddCommittee As String = String.Empty
16 strAddCommittee = "Insert into xref_person_committees_tbl (committee_name) values ('" & strCommitteeName & "')"
17 'Response.Write(strAddCommittee & "<br>")

I want to pass the string "select @@servername" in the print statement, it throws error as:=
Msg 1046, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
Subqueries are not allowed in this context. Only scalar expressions are allowed.
Msg 1046, Level 15, State 1, Line 28
Subqueries are not allowed in this context. Only scalar expressions are allowed.
declare @account_name nvarchar(400) = 'Mail Account';
IF exists (select * from msdb.dbo.sysmail_account where name = @account_name)
PRint 'Database Mail Account ' + quotename (@account_name) + 'is already setup in the Server:= ' + (select @@servername);
I mean why such restriction? In such queries results will be only 1 so it does not violate the SET operation. correct??
I want to put some trace in the a UDF, so I put print in the function. IT gave error. Can anyone please explain why this happen. But this work with SPs.
Cheers

I tried to modify it to remove the nulls by changing this line of code
SUM( ISNULL(Sales,0))
I got this error
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near 'ISNULL'.
so i tried it like this
and got this error

'ISNULL' is not a recognized aggregate function.
My question is why can't i use isnull to change NULL TO 0
Thanx

I am using the SQLEXPRESS database, and connect from to locations:
Windows Service
ASP.NET web application.
whenever I start the windows service I get the error: Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
so I am going to visual studio and close the connection. then I close the web browser, and the windows service succeed connect to database.
but then, after windows service is connected, I open the web browser application and fails to login because the login system using the same database of windows service, and since the connection is being used by windows service, login is impossible.
Do you know how I can allow 2 connections at the same time for the same database?
what are the risks to do that? and how do I handle this risks.
thanks alot

Hi all,
I need to rewrite the following query without a nested query (stupid mysql 4.0.25. Can anyone lend a hand?
SELECT name from `list` where name not in (
SELECT DISTINCT b.name from ` armor ` a,` list` b where b.name = a.name
);
I entered the max 8000 varchar in a column and it will not let me enter more than about 1000. What is the deal?
thanks

Um, still trying to transpose MySQL into T-SQL.
Inserting info into a table, where one of the columns meets a certain criteria.
insert into employee (/*emp_id,*/ fname, lname, start_date,
dept_id, title, assigned_branch_id)
values (/*null,*/ 'Michael', 'Smith', '2001-06-22',
(select dept_id from department where name = 'Administration'),
'President',
(select branch_id from branch where name = 'Headquarters'));
But I'm getting this error:
Msg 1046, Level 15, State 1, Line 5
Subqueries are not allowed in this context. Only scalar expressions are allowed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
For example I have
CASE (a.t_id)
WHEN (a.t_id in (22,23,27,30,38))
THEN t.desc
ELSE 'N/A'
END 'Column name..',
and that is giving me "incorrect syntax near 'in'" ??

Working on partitioning a few large tables. One of the tables included a text column and the €œTEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]€? clause which would prevent the partitioning of this table. After some research we found that the data was legacy and no longer used. We updated the column on the affected rows to NULLS and altered the column to a VARCHAR(20)
I then attempted to run the ALTER TABLE SWITCH and I encountered the error
Msg 4947, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER TABLE SWITCH statement failed. There is no identical index in source table 'LocalDeltanet.dbo.testresultsjoe' for the index 'PKIDX_testSummary' in target table 'LocalDeltanet.dbo.testresults_part'.
After a lot of grief and testing I determined that the message was bogus and the real issue is that the 'sys.tables' still has €œlob_data_space_id€? with a value of 1 for this table.
I created a copy of the table with the text column and the "TEXTIMAGE_ON", then altered the column to a varchar and another table with just the varchar column and no "TEXTIMAGE_ON" spoecified. After copying the data from the original table, I tried to run the Alter Switch. It failed once again for the table with the text column that was altered to varchar, but it worked for the table that had the column specified as varchar from the start.
All other things have been checked and the two source tables in this test are identical execpt for the Text column specification. The alter column changes the definition of the column, but how would you remove the €œlob_data_space_id€? setting, since it appears that this value is causing my issues, is there anyway to update the table in place. I know I can BCP the data out, but that would take too long and would defeat the advantage of using the alter switch method.
BOL States:
The allow updates option is still present in the sp_configure stored procedure, although its functionality is unavailable in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (the setting has no effect). In SQL Server 2005, direct updates to the system tables are not supported. This means we cannot update the table manually.
Hi, I've read that a SQL Server Express database is limited to GB. If I have a database with about 120 tables which store only simple datatypes (int, money, datetimes, varchar, etc.), no blobs or large files, how can I estimate the amount of data or number of rows it can hold before it runs out?

Can someone help me about this one
I've created a new website using the new Visual Studio 2005 Express edition. This site uses SQL Server Express (free software) as a storage for personalization data, etc. Now I want to deploy my site, but here it ends for me:My web site hoster does not support the SQL Express edition in a shared hosting environment. I think most people have a website running in a 'shared hosting' plan. How can this large group enjoy the new Express line when SQL Server Express is not supported? "SQL Server Express is not a part of the SPLA SPUR (Services Provider License Agreement)", they all say. Here it ends for me, my ISP and their licence supplier. Even at Microsoft's Response Management Team, 'no' is the answer.
What to do now? Move on to an expensive 'dedicated hosting' plan? Write a membershipprovider for MySQL?I feel as if I was given a free ticket for a nice journey but there's no traffic possible.
Who can help me out here? What can I do...

Can anyone relay to me if there is a max number of elements that are allowed within an IN clause?
Example would be:
SELECT * FROM tblMyTable WHERE ID_Number IN (1,2,3,4,5,...150,000)
where we list all 150,000 numbers between the ( ).
Thanks!
