Prevent Invalid Characters From Being Entered
Sep 24, 2006
Hi,
I need to be able to prevent an invalid character from being entered into a sql 2000 databae on import from oracle.
In short, I need to exclude a certain character from being entered and need to be able to send an email which specifies that an attempt was made to enter this character, if the change was due to an insert or an update, the row to be affected in the target database, date and time info. Also the source of the data.
If this is not possible, is it viable to remove the character after insert and still send the email with the required info?
Any one any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
I am populating a dataset in .net with output from sql 2005 database. One of the columns in the table is a 'varchar(max)' type. This dataset is then converted to XML using WriteXml and written to a .xml document. But due to the presence of invalid characters, this process errors out.
Is there any way using which these invalid characters can be replaced at the database level itself when querying on the table?
The error that is produced is as follows:
' ', hexadecimal value 0x1C, is an invalid character. Line 32201, position 924.
Thanks,
Nisha

When we are getting data in a table and we want to replace characters with other characters. For example, We have a table with a street address, and there are numerous ascii character values we want to review and replace if they exist. We were looking at using a table with 2 columns, 1 containing each ascii character value the other it's preferred replacement value. Then updating the street address searching through each ascii character and replacing it if needed. Currently, we are running it through a looping process searching each individual address for each ascii character, and updating it.

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

Hello,
I've got the following query:
SELECT zA."ID" AS fA_A
, zA."TEXT" AS fA_B
, (
SELECT COUNT(zC."ID")
FROM Test."Booking" AS zC
) AS fA_E
FROM Test."Stack" AS zA
WHERE zA."ID" = ?
With this query I call:
- SQLPrepare -> SQL_SUCCESS=0
- SQLNumParams -> SQL_SUCCESS=0, pcpar = 1
- SQLDescribeParam( 1 ) -> SQL_ERROR=-1, [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid parameter number", "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid Descriptor Index"
Is there a problem with this calling sequence or this query? Or is this a problem of SQL Server?
Regards
Markus

Hi
Probably a dumb question but I'm doing an insert into a table with an identity field. How do I get the key back straight after I add it?
This is how I do the addition
SQLString = "Insert into users (username,password,status,campus, ulevel ) values ( @username, @password, @status, @campus, @ulevel)"
cmdInsert = new SQLCommand(SQLString, conn)
cmdInsert.Parameters.Add( "@username", _username)
cmdInsert.Parameters.Add( "@password", md5Hasher.ComputeHash(encoder.GetBytes(_password)))
cmdInsert.Parameters.Add( "@status", _status)
cmdInsert.Parameters.Add( "@campus", _campus)
cmdInsert.Parameters.Add( "@ulevel", _ulevel )
conn.Open()
cmdInsert.ExecuteNonQuery()
conn.close()
but about now I need the primary key just generated.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Is there a way to get the last ROWGUIDCOL entered into a table? I don't believe that doing a SELECT MAX will work, and we really need a way to do this. Does anyone have a nifty way to do this?

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?

FROM testchangeorders
WHERE LotID = 2
--Once located, I was trying to update a field called uniqueID with a contantination of '3-' & the record's SelectionsID

My database has many table, each table has a DateEntered (datetime), EnteredBy (nvarchar(50), LastUpdate (datetime), and LastUpdateBy (nvarachar(50). Is there an easy (ha) way to pull a list of the records that were entered and/or updated for a date range. Hopefully without a select for each table.
Maybe a tool someone knows of?

Hi
I have the problem that the below defined paramter gets entered in the database as a interger. the Field in the DB is a nvarchar(5) and the controll that suplies the value is a TextBox
this is the parameter definition:<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="tbComment" Name="Comment" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" />
Why do I get this error, why does ASP to whant to make an integerfrom this text field? When putting a interger value in the textbox all works well and the data gets posted to the database.
I use a SqlDataSource with automatic generated script.
look forwart to a solution

Dear All,
What's the most efficient way of joining a 1 to many relation, where a record in table A will have multiple records in table B.
I'd like to select every record in table A but only joining the last relevant record from table B. So:
Table A:
A1 Prj1
A2 Prj2
Table B:
B1 A1 23/12/2005
B2 A1 26/12/2005
B3 A1 2/1/2007
B4 A2 25/12/2006
B5 A2 1/1/2007
So I'd like to list using the most efficient way this:
A1 Prj1 B3 2/1/2007
A2 Prj2 B5 1/1/2007
I'm assuming this is NOT the most efficient way:
select A, (select top 1 date from B orderBy ...)
Any suggestions?

I have a table where the designer allowed time reporting for 8 different types of activity on each timecard, then stored the hours by activity in 8 separate columns in the database. Example:
Table A.
Column Headers: Employee|Date|Phase1Hours|Phase2Hours, etc...
Data: Fred Jones| 7/15/13 |3|3, etc...
The problem is there is no way based on this structure to get an employee's hours for the day in columnar form.
To get this data into columnar form I have used Select queries with Union All, for instance:
SELECT Employee, Date, Phase1
FROM Table A
UNION ALL
SELECT Employee, Date, Phase2
FROM Table A
,etc.....
Query is running slow (I am guessing it is because the same table is repeatedly being accessed).

I have a VB.NET program that displays the time extracted from a SQL Server database datetime datatype by way of a User-defined scalar function I created. However, sometimes information is entered into the system through the program that does not have a time-- only a date. SQL Server automatically assigns a time of 12:00 AM to these values (since they're a datetime). Is there any way to detect when this happens in my user-defined scalar function so that when I try to extract time values, I can instead return a message/time of my choice? I would rather not assume that all 12:00 AM values are automatically inserted by SQL Server since this might not actually be the case.

Hi Guys,
I'm having a problem with some data in our database, basically a web app is storing data into the DB and then recalling it to display to a user. The problem I am having is that for one particular function the DB is causing the app to fail, the app code works for 95% of the data inserted into the DB by the users but it is failing on a few records.. I'v gone through the data manually checking for funny characters or spaces or anything else which is different from the other records, but everything seems to be in order. I doubt very much that this is a system app code problem as the code is working perfectly for all the other records...
Can anyone advise me on what else I can check.. really stuck on this one guys
Thanks Gurj

Hi again,
In ASP.net, is there any elegant way to handle a set of time inserts from a form when the 2nd time is past midnight?
Specifically, I have a form with 2 textboxes on it (startTime and endTime) that are set up to accept time values (using AJAX MaskedEditExtender for formatting/validation - pretty cool). This data is posted to a sub that enters the data into a table (T_Details). However, I've noticed that the data inserted as part of the record (SQL field is smalldatetime) doesn't take into account the fact that a time value past 23:59:59 in the "endTime" textbox is a time on the next day - it simply rolls to an A.M. date for the same day as the date for the pre-midnight value from the "startTime" textbox.
I'm sure that I can simply do some conditional coding and modify the date if necessary but is there a better way to do it? Thanks as always...this forum is a great resource

This is for Microsoft Server SQL 2012.
I'm trying to create a WHERE clause that will have different results depending on a parameter that is entered. For example, if you put in a number, it will only calculate the rows where the column ID matches that number. However, if you put in 0, which doesn't exist in that column ID, it will instead calculate all the data in the table.
So the below would be a very basic idea of what I'm trying to do, but I'm not sure how to do it with proper syntax.
WHERE IF ID=0, THEN do this
ELSE do this AND ID=#
