I was doing something like..
Create Procedure proc
(
@Items varchar(100) --- List of numbers
)
AS Begin
Declare @SQL varchar(8000)
Set @SQL =
'
Select Query......
Where products IN (' + @items + ') '
'
Exec (@SQL)
This stored procedure is working fine, but when i m adding more required stuff to that, the size exceeds 8000, & it gives the error "Invalid operator for data type. Operator equals add, type equals text."
Can any1 please help me out with this ASAP??

Hi,
I have a MDX query which is of an aprox length of 10000 characters. I
have to execute the query from within the stored procedure in sql. To
run this query I use the openrowset method.
If the length of my query is less than 8000 characters my query
executes perfectly, but the moment it exceeds 8000 characters it stop
working. Please suggest a solution for the same.
Sample Code:
declare @mdxqry varchar(8000)
declare @SearchCond varchar(8000)
set @SearchCond = @SearchCond + '
[ProductsAccounts].CurrentMember.properties("AS Date") <= "' + @TDate
+ '" '
set @mdxqry = '''WITH ' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[Difference] as ''''[Measures].[Expected Interest
Amount] - [Measures].[Adjusted Interest]'''' ' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[Loan Closed within Report Period] as ' +
'''''iif(cdate([ProductsAccounts].CurrentMember.properties("Closed
Date")) < cdate("' + @ToDate + '"), "Yes", "No")''''' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[ClosedBeforeLastInstallment] as
''''iif([Measures].[Loan Closed Before Last Instal]=1, "Yes", "No")''''
' +
'SELECT ' +
'{[Measures].[Expected Interest Amount], [Measures].[Adjusted
Interest], [Measures].[Difference], ' +
'[Measures].[Zero Interest Transactions],
[Measures].[ClosedBeforeLastInstallment], ' +
'[Measures].[Loan Closed within Report Period]} ON 0, '
set @mdxqry = @mdxqry +
'{Filter([ProductsAccounts].[Account Id].Members, (' + @SearchCond +
'))} on 2, ' +
@BranchFilter +
'FROM InterestAnalysis'''
set @mdxqry = 'SELECT a.* FROM
OpenRowset(''MSOLAP'',''DATASOURCE="SERVERNAME"; Initial
Catalog="DATABASENAME";'',' + @mdxqry + ') as a'
exec(@mdxqry)
I have already tried splitting my query into smalled chunks and
executing it, but still I face the same problem.
This is how I have Done it:
declare @mdxqry1 varchar(8000)
declare @mdxqry2 varchar(8000)
declare @SearchCond varchar(8000)
set @SearchCond = @SearchCond + '
[ProductsAccounts].CurrentMember.properties("AS Date") <= "' + @TDate
+ '" '
set @mdxqry1 = '''WITH ' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[Difference] as ''''[Measures].[Expected Interest
Amount] - [Measures].[Adjusted Interest]'''' ' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[Loan Closed within Report Period] as ' +
'''''iif(cdate([ProductsAccounts].CurrentMember.properties("Closed
Date")) < cdate("' + @ToDate + '"), "Yes", "No")''''' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[ClosedBeforeLastInstallment] as
''''iif([Measures].[Loan Closed Before Last Instal]=1, "Yes", "No")''''
'
set @mdxqry2 = 'SELECT ' +
'{[Measures].[Expected Interest Amount], [Measures].[Adjusted
Interest], [Measures].[Difference], ' +
'[Measures].[Zero Interest Transactions],
[Measures].[ClosedBeforeLastInstallment], ' +
'[Measures].[Loan Closed within Report Period]} ON 0, '
set @mdxqry2 = @mdxqry2 +
'{Filter([ProductsAccounts].[Account Id].Members, (' + @SearchCond +
'))} on 2, ' +
@BranchFilter +
'FROM InterestAnalysis'''
set @mdxqry2 = 'SELECT a.* FROM
OpenRowset(''MSOLAP'',''DATASOURCE="SERVERNAME"; Initial
Catalog="DATABASENAME";'',' + @mdxqry + ') as a'
exec(@mdxqry1 + @mdxqry2)
Thanks in Advance

In SS 2000 it seems that there is no variable data type that can hold more than 8000 characters (varchar) or 4000 unicode characters (nvarchar). I've seen posts where multiple variables are spliced together to extend this limit. I am looking at performing string manipulations in an sproc and I need to be able to deal with the full 2GB/1GB limit of text and ntext field types. Is this possible? How do you deal with that?

Hi,
I had a VARCHAR(MAX) parameter declared in my stored procedure and trying to concatenat single column from a table which has~500 rows into a string and keep in this variable, if i am not mistaken, i read that the VARCHAR(MAX) actually can hold up to 2GB of data, so it make me confuse why the variable which i declared as MAX size, can only hold up 8000 characters, any idea?

Hello, I'd greatly appreciated if someone can help me out on this problem:
I'd like to pass a string (which is a multiple value in this case - "Smith", "Lee", "Jones", "Hanson") as an input parameter to a stored procedure. I'd like to use this string as part of the select statement:
exec sp_GetLN "smith, lee, jones, hanson"
In the stored procedure:
@strLN varchar <- "smith, lee, jones, hanson"
/*What do I need to do here to SET/REPLACE the original string so that the syntax can be accepted by the select statement??*/
SELECT * from tblCustomers
WHERE LASTNAME IN (@strLN)
It looks simple but I've been trying to get the syntax to work. What can I do to change the quote from ' to "?? Can I use char(34) like VB??
Your help is greatly appreciated~
Thank you

Hi,
I wrote this sql function which takes a comma seperated string of numbers, splits the numbers seperately and stores it in a table. I have specified the input parameter type as text instead of varchar, the size of the string can get more than 8000.
But the function is not working properly if the input size is more than 8000. For example if the input string is of length 8005 and this is the input string from 7995 to 8005 - '123,124,125'. It works fine till 123 and after that it throws an error, Syntax error converting the varchar value '124,125' to a column of data type int. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this. I am using string functions like charindex, substring. I can post the full function if you want.
Thanks.

Hi,
Im fairly new to writing stored procudures so I thought you lot might be able to help with this problem.
I have a stored procudure which looks like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE usrCienet.spAdminAgencyActivate_Select
(
@strAgencyId CHAR(6)
)
AS
DECLARE @idAgency INT
SELECT @idAgency = idAgency FROM tblAgencies WHERE strAgencyId = @strAgencyId;
SELECT strName, strAddress1, strAddress2, strCounty, strCountry, strPostcode, strTelephone, strFax, bitActive, bitHeadOffice, bitFinanceBranch
FROM tblBranches
WHERE fk_idAgency = @idAgency
SELECT strFirstName, strSurname, strUsername, bitActive
FROM tblUsers
WHERE fk_idAgency = @idAgency
GO
It basically first declare's and sets @idAgency using the first small select statment, then uses that parameter to run two more selects queries which I want sending to a dataset. Now within the Query Analyzer this works fine. But in my asp.net page it trows up this error:
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'spAdminAgencyActivate_Select'
Now the code im using in the asp.net page is as follows:
Dim objSqlConnection as New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("strCon"))
Dim objSqlCommand_Select as New SqlCommand("spAdminAgencyActivate_Select", objSqlConnection)
objSqlCommand_Select.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@strAgencyId", SqlDbType.Char, 6))
objSqlCommand_Select.Parameters("@strAgencyId").Value = "tes001"
Dim objSqlDataAdapter as New SqlDataAdapter(objSqlCommand_Select)
Dim dsActivateAgency as New DataSet()
objSqlConnection.Open()
objSqlDataAdapter.TableMappings.Add("Table", "tblBranches")
objSqlDataAdapter.TableMappings.Add("Table1", "tblUsers")
objSqlDataAdapter.Fill(dsActivateAgency)
objSqlConnection.Close()
Can anyone help? I believe the error is in the stored procedure somewhere, because if I change the stored procedure so no parameters are being passed to it then it starts working. This is what I comment out and change for it to to get it working, but obviously this is not satisfactory as a final result because the parameter is hard coded in the stored procedure. Im just showing this to see if it gives anyone a clue!!
CREATE PROCEDURE usrCienet.spAdminAgencyActivate_Select
--(
--@strAgencyId CHAR(6)
--)
AS
--DECLARE @idAgency INT
--SELECT @idAgency = idAgency FROM tblAgencies WHERE strAgencyId = @strAgencyId;
SELECT strName, strAddress1, strAddress2, strCounty, strCountry, strPostcode, strTelephone, strFax, bitActive, bitHeadOffice, bitFinanceBranch
FROM tblBranches
WHERE fk_idAgency = 1
SELECT strFirstName, strSurname, strUsername, bitActive
FROM tblUsers
WHERE fk_idAgency = 1
GO
Thanks in advance for any help!!

Hello,
I was wondering if there is any method that I can use to determine if a field (defined as text) has any character fields or is really a number. I want to figure out if a field is truly all numeric, and out of curiosity, was wondering if there was a way in SQL or T-SQL.
Thanks.

I have a feeling I'll be forced to use a script and a trigger for thistype of field format but I'm wondering if any of your wizards couldpoint at a simple way I could do something like this:For example, if I want to be able to keep track of new orders followingthis incrementing convention:ORD100000001ORD100000002ORD100000003.... etc ...Does MSSQL2000 have features that I can simply set for this kind offield or will I be resorting to writing up a SQL script and a trigger?

I'm trying to put conditional formatting on a field, that behaves as follows:
The data in the field is varchar, and sample data is either:
NULL
3.0 :0
11.7 :1 (these are ratios of a sort)
I want to evaluate the first 3 characters of the string as numbers.
Example:
Mid(fieldvalue,1,3) = "3.0" or "11."
Any data that is greater than 1.99, I want to make the background dark red, anything else including nulls, zebra formatting. I have the following expression built so far and it appears to work, except when the value is null. If the value is null, it leaves the background color white.
This is the warning: [rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The BackgroundColor expression for the text box "Asthma" contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format.
=iif(
isnothing(Fields!Asthma.Value)
,(IIf(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2 = 0,"#b8cce4","#dbe5f1"))
,(iif(mid(Fields!Asthma.Value,1,3)>1.99
,"DarkRed"
,IIf(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2 = 0,"#b8cce4","#dbe5f1"))))
My logic is, if the field is null, zebra format, if mid of the value is > 1.99, dark red, everything else zebra formatting. As I said, this seems to work except for nulls.

I have this sql statement in a stored procedure
SELECT @sql=@sql + '''' + convert(varchar(100), pivot) + ''' = ' + stuff(@sumfunc,charindex( '(', @sumfunc )+1, 0, ' CASE ' + @pivot + ' WHEN ' + @delim + convert(varchar(100), pivot) + @delim + ' THEN ' ) + ', ' FROM ##pivot
in the statement, where @sql is defined as DECLARE @sql varchar(Max). the problem is that this statement produces results that are in excess of 8000 characters and the results are truncated. Is there anyway to avoid this? I know that it's not possible to user ntext/text as a local variable, and if i try to return the result as an ouput paramater, only the first result is returned.
my code is based off of this article http://www.sqlteam.com/article/dynamic-cross-tabs-pivot-tables

I'm trying to write data to excel from an ssis component to a excel destination.
Even thought I'm writing numerics, every cell gets this error with a green tag:
Convert numbers stored as text to numbers
Excel Cells were all pre-formated to accounting 2 decimal, and if i manually type the exact data Im sending it formats just fine.
I'm hearing this a common problem -
On another project I was able to find a workaround for the web based version of excel, by writing this to the top of the file:
<style>.text { mso-number-format:@; } </style>
is there anything I can pre-set in excel (cells are already formated) or write to my file so that numerics are seen as numerics and not text.
Maybe some setting in my write drivers - using sql servers excel destination.
So close.. Thanks for any help or information.

I have a web form that needs to be bilingual. It contains several dropdown lists. The "text" and "value" for each item in the dropdown list is retrieved from a database. The logic reads the database and then populates the various dropdowns with logic such as:
dim newItem as new ListItem(textString, valueString)
theDropDown.items.add(newItem)
The problem that I am having occurs when the textString needs to contains special characters such as accented vowels or an "n" with a tilde. I have tried populating the database with HTML-formatted strings such as "Avión", hoping that this would display "Avion" with an accute accent over the "o". Unfortunately it displays "Avión".
How do I get dynamically-created dropdowns to display special characters? If the answer is to simply store the special characters directly in the database, then the question becomes how do I get the special characters into the database? I tried to figure out how to write a T-SQL command such as
update tablex set SpanishName = 'Avion' where id=999
but I can't figure out the syntax to insert an accented 'o' into the string.
Thanks.

Say you have a table that has records with numbers sort of like lottery winning numbers, say:
TableWinners
num1, num2, num3, num4, num5, num6
33 52 47 23 17 28
... more records with similar structure.
Then you have another table with chosen numbers, same structure as above, TableGuesses.
How could you do the following comparisons between TableGuesses and TableWinners:
1. Compare a single record in TableGuesses to a single record in TableWinners to get a count of the number of numbers that match (kind of a typical lottery type of thing).
2. Compare a single record in TableGuessess to ALL records in TableWinners to see which record in TableWinners is the closest match to the selected record in TableGuesses.

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
