Override SQL Character
Aug 12, 2004
I'm trying to search for all records that contain a quotation character in the database. These records were migrated from a mainframe system.
I use the following command:
%'%
The results are:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Unclosed quotation mark before the character string ' order by cliLastName, cliFirstName, cliBirthName'.
/ladds/lib/getrecordset.asp, line 6
Is there a way to override the quotation character temporarily?
Thanks ...

A website that I'm working on has users sign in and keeps a log of the pages they go to. The log table has a foreign key in it that links to the username is the users table. I need to update the username for one of the users but the foreign key is preventing me from doing so. What is the benefit of having a foreign key like this? Can I delete it to update the username or is there a better way?

I need copy a table from a remote (hosted) SQL 2000 database server to my local machine. I don't have access to backups and am unable to correctly configure my local machine to add a linked server. So I plan to retrieve the data to a datatable, copy it in code and save it to my local server. But the table contains an identity column which I will need to insert the values manually so they match the original.
Can anyone tell me how I can set the datatable's save to use my manual values instead of the autonumber value?
Thanks.

I received a request to create a stored proc with following:
I have a view with the following columns
(table1 - AppCode, AgencyID, CompnyID, CustCode, CustVal)
I have a proc that will take the following parameters and return all matching rows (AppCode, AgencyID, CompnyID, CustCode(optional))
The trick: Any customcode with the CompnyID should override the AgencyID parameter.

How can I change a linked report to get the 'override default' button back.
Some idiot changed it to a hardcoded value and now I want to have the default back.

I wrote a report in Visual Studio with some parameters that I gave default values to in the report definition. I deployed it out to the report server and when I look at the report Properties, Parameters section to see the default values. Instead of seeing all of the default values, I see a bunch of "Override Default" buttons. When you click the buttons, you get a blank text box in which to enter a new value.
Someone before me created a report with default values and the parameters section of that report has text boxes with the default values in them.
Does anyone know how to have the default values show up rather than those "Override Default" buttons?
Thanks.

If a column is set to allow nulls I know that a constraint can be used to supply a default (i.e. GetDate() ) when no value is provided but what about when an explicit NULL is provided in an INSERT or UPDATE statement?Is there any way other then an AFTER trigger to substitute a value for an explicitly provided NULL? In other words, assuming that dtAsof is a NULL enabled column, is there any way to over ride what the following will do to MYTABLE:
INSERT MYTABLE(sCol1, sCol2, sCol3, dtAsOf)
SELECT 'a', 'b', 'c', NULL
If there's no way to do this in SQL Server 2008R2 then what about later versions of SQL Server? Do any more recent versions have a way to deal with this? We have a third party app that uses a SQL Server back end and many of the tables have columns for storing audit like data such as date/time but many are left to NULL values and I'd really like to fix that in as passive a way as possible so as to not break the app that uses the database. I know a constraint with a default can be sued to over ride a null but not when a null is explicitly provided.

I am creating printed questionnaires based on data in a table. Portions of the layout must be exact and not be moved on the page.
I have some textboxes and rectangles on the left of a report and a table on the right. The table forces all the controls on the left to appear AFTER the last row and I can find no workaround. Basically, no controls can appear to the left of a table. The texboxes on the left give instructions to the user on how to fill out the items in the table on the right and I need them to remain where I place them. I have many other reports that require fixed positions.
Other report writers have texbox and label options to work around this . For example Visual Foxpro has an "Object Position" property with options for "Float", "Fix position relative to top of band", "Fix position relative to bottom of band". This allows the position to be forced if necessary.
This is very much needed and wanted in the Report Writer and I request it for the next release or service pack.

I have a table that contains file paths as
ServernamefolderAfilenameA
ServernameFolderBFilenameB
and I need a query to return
ServernamefolderA
ServernameFolderB
I tried
SELECT DISTINCT left(Source, charindex('', Source)- 0) AS String
FROM Table
But that removes everything after the first and I need it to return all data before the last

I have the following scenario, The contents of main file are like :
ServerCentral|||||forum|||||||||||||||is||||||the||best
so||||||be|||||on||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||it
And I need the output in the following form:
ServerCentral=forum=is=the=best
so=be=on=it
The logic being that multiple and consecutive occurrences of the special character, here - pipe , should be replaced by a single special character.

I have created a package that use SSIS check pointing for failure-retry mechanism. I knew that when this package fails, on restarting the package it starts from the task where it got failed.
Is it possible for me to override this on a custom condition and start the package at an earlier task where it executed successfully?
Ex:
Check pointing is enabled.
FTP task è Write to Staging Table è Write to Target table.
Assuming I am downloading XML file through FTP and writing to a table.
FTP Download is successful.
Read from XML file and write to Staging table task failed because of downloaded file is not a well formed XML.
Here, FTP task is completed successfully; it failed only in the second task. When I re-run the package; it starts from the second [Read from XML file and write to staging table] task because of check pointing.
Is it possible for me to restart from the FTP task on a custom condition where it executed successfully?

I'd like to return the left-most character from an 8 character string & the third from the left character too.
Like this ABC00123 returns AC
$query = "SELECT LEFT(uninum,3), RIGHT(uninum,5), clmarea, Date FROM tblunimov";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

Hi!
I have a table like this below and it doesn't only contain English Names but it also contain Chinese Name.
CREATE TABLE Names
(FirstName NVARCHAR (50),
LastName NVARCHAR (50));
I tried to view the column using SQL Query Analyzer, It didn't display Chinese Character.
I know that SQL Server 2005 is using UCS-2 Encoding and Chinese Character uses Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) Encoding.
I want to read the FirstName and LastName columns and display in Window Form Data Grid and ASP.NET Grid View.
I tried to use this code below and it didn't work. It convert some of the English Name to Chinese Character and it display the chinese character and some still in the original unreadable characters.
Does anybody know how to read those character from SQL Table and display the correct Chinese Character without converting the English Name into Chinese also?
Thanks
int codePage = 950;
StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder();
Encoding targetEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(codePage);
byte[] encodedChars= targetEncoding.GetBytes(str);
.
message.AppendLine("Byte representation of '" + str + "' in Code Page '" + codePage + "':");
for (int i = 0; i < encodedChars.Length; i++)
{
message.Append("Byte " + i + ": " + encodedChars);
}
message.AppendLine(" RESULT : " + System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(encodedChars));
Console.Writeline(message.ToString());

Hi,
Anytime I BCP data from a table containing characters like ö it gets muddled up when I look at it in the text file. The code page of the NT OS is 850 and the character is included in it. Why is the character changed during the BCP ?

Hello all.
Ok this is going to be a little hard to describe but here goes
I have a table within which one column is used to store a SQL select statement as a string. This means that the whole select statement has to be enclosed within two ' characters. The problem is that the SQL statement itself contains these characters. The specific SQL statement i wish to save as a string is:
select
'<A HREF=DisplayOnlyDiscipline?SESSION_ID=' + :SESSION_ID +
'&DISP_REF=' + cast(DISP_REF as varchar) +
'&EDIT_REF=' + :EDIT_REF + '>' + cast(DISP_REF as varchar) + '</A>' as Reference,
V.DESCRIPTION as Discipline_Stage,
DISP_DATE as Date
from
DISCPLIN D
left outer join
V_DISP V on (V.CODE = D.DISP_CODE)
where
EMPLOY_REF = :EDIT_REF
order by
DISP_DATE DESC
Can anyone suggest how i get round this?
thanks for reading peeps

I'm using MS SQL intelligence studio's SSIS import wizard to import some Excel files into SQL tables and for certain fields I'm getting this strange character instead of NULL. Does anyone know what this character is, how to avoid it, or a SQL query that will get rid of it? I can't even copy it to my clipboard.

I have a SQL Server 2000 database which uses a Cyrillic collation. The database itself is in English, but some of the tables contain text which use the Cyrillic character set. When creating an ODBC connection to the database, ODBC forces me to have the "Translate character data" option set, which means that a query or stored procedure parameter containing Cyrillic characters have the Cyrillic characters translated to plain ascii. Data returned from a query or SP with Cyrillic characters work fine.
So the question is: how can I send Cyrillic (unicode) strings to an English SQL Server, without it translating the characters between Workstation and Server? Ideas appreciated.
Thanks,

I've forgotten the character set that I've chosen when I was installing the SQL Server 7. Is there a way to check?
I'm currently using US English version of Windows NT4 and SQL7. But interestingly, all the data is in Japanes characters. It's actually for a Japanese website, and the front-end application is written in ASP. I remember reading somewhere that it is impossible to do certain type of sorting (by some particular order for the Japanese language) as it is limited by the choice of the language of the NT OS.
The type of sorting that I'm looking at is the grouping of 5-characters. One example is in http://www.forest.impress.co.jp/aiueo.html
Would this be possible with my current setup? Or would it help if I migrate over to Windows 2000? (I'd rather not move to Japanese NT4)
Your feedback and advice would be very much appreciated!

Hello,
I am from the school of thought that you should in every case have your primary keys as numeric values only. However, where I currently work there is a project leader who is a recent FoxPro convert (I know, they are tough ones to crack). I made the suggestion recently that the keys in the table should be numeric and with him being the project leader and me just a lowely developer he said get lost. I made the point that later joining your tables together in a PK/FK relationship where the keys where character would be slower then with numeric keys. He didn't listen and now we are approaching production with a database that is really just a bunch of text file. He said that with SQL 7 it doesn't matter if the pk is numeric or character. I disagree. But I need solid documentation to take to him and to the managers to convince them. If anyone out there could advise me on this. And if anyone could give me or tell me where I could find documentation on why even in SQL 7 there is a need to use numeric keys that would be a great help and you would be making one more shop in this world a little bit more technically sound :-) Thank you in advance for your help.
