Problem In Concatenating Characters In Text Datatype?
Nov 12, 2001
Hi Everybody,
I have a table with one column of text data type. This table contains around 1200 records(each row is 60 characters only). My task is, I have to append all these records into a single record(Concatenation of records from other table) to another table.
For that I have created table(destination table) with one column of text datatype. Using the 'UPDATETEXT' function I am able to append 133 records(each row of 60 characters) from the other table into a single row of my destination table. After that I am not able to append my records further. It is giving the following error.
"
Server: Msg 7135, Level 16, State 4, Procedure gene1_proc, Line 26
Deletion length 60 is not in the range of available text, ntext, or image data. The statement has been terminated.
"
Why I have created 'text' instead of char or varchar datatype is, it can accept more than 8000 characters. But here in my case it is not accepting more than 8000 characters. The problem is coming from 134 (133*60 = 7980 characters) records onwards.
Can anybody guide me how to proceed with this?.
tks in advance,
Sam

Hello,
I'm not sure if it's the setup I did wrong, but I can't seem to get my
text datatype in my database to store more than 900 characters.
I'm trying to setup a news database for my website, which will populate
the information into a datagrid. To test, I manually added a news
item in the database through the visual studio 2003 gui. I
immediately noticed a problem as the I was getting an error after a
long news item saying:
"The value you entered is not consistent with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit."
I couldn't find anthing to set the buffer limit and the datatype is
"text" filled with simple text in the column. As a further test,
I
simply entered 12334567890123... up to 900 characters and still
recevied the error.
I would appreciate someone leading me in the right direction on this one.
Thanks a lot.

I'm wanting to concatenate something that doesnt exist to an already existing field.
What I need to do is add a generic email address to every record in a data view So, what it would do is take the column that does exist and add @domain.com to another column that I would call username So rather than it just appearing as 911234 it would be a derived column saying 911234@domain.com
i've tried using +''+ but I get a space after the number.

Hi All,
I am trying to get at some text fields from an AS400(JBA) system. the problem i'm having is that for each new line of text on AS400 it creates a new row with a line number associated in the SQL table. When trying to export to excel this causes problems because i need the text in one cell not spread over 15/20 lines.
I need to create a query/function that will concatenate the text lines together. I'm fairly new to T-SQL so could do with some help.
Example:-
ID TxtLn Text
R262965
1
Text 1
R262965
2
Text 2
R262965
3
Text 3
What i'm aiming for is:-
ID ConcatText
R262965 Text1 Text2 Text3
Can anyone please help me or guide me towards a starting point.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm trying to get the text of all my SPs saved into text (*.sql) files. My first thought was to use sp_helptext and bcp the table to a text file but this isn't working (see my other post) so thought I'd try another method.
I can get the code from syscomment.text and concatenate the varchar(8000) field together in a text field. Unfortunately this isn't as easy as just text = text + newtext, how is this done?
Or am I doing it all comletely the wrong way? BTW, I have over 150 SPs so I can't save them individually.
Thanks!

Hello. I'm trying to reduce some code in my stored procedure and I'm running into lots of errors. I'm somewhat of a novice with SQL and stored procedures so any help would be beneficial.
I have a SP that gets a page of user data and is also called when sorting by one of the columns (this data is placed in a repeater, btw). I quickly learned that I wasn't able to pass in string parameters the way I had hoped in order to handle the ORDER BY and direction (ASC/DESC) so I'm trying to work around this.
So far I've tried the following with many errors.WITH Users AS (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY CASE WHEN @OrderBy='FirstName' AND @Direction='DESC' THEN (FirstName + ' DESC')
WHEN @OrderBy='FirstName' THEN FirstName
WHEN @OrderBy='LastName' AND @Direction='DESC' THEN (LastName + ' DESC')
WHEN @OrderBy='LastName' THEN LastName
END
) AS Row,
UserID, FirstName, LastName, EmailAddress, [Role], Active, LastLogin, DateModified, ModifiedBy, ModifiedByName
FROM
vRF_Users
)
SELECT UserID, FirstName, LastName, EmailAddress, [Role], Active, LastLogin, DateModified, ModifiedBy, ModifiedByName
FROM Users
WHERE Row BETWEEN @StartRowIndex AND @EndRowIndex
I've tried a combination of similar things with parenthesises, without, doing "THEN FirstName DESC" without concatenating anything, etc.
I also tried: DECLARE @OrderByDirection varchar(32)
DECLARE @DESC varchar(4)
SET @DESC = ' DESC'
IF @Direction = 'DESC'
BEGIN
SET @OrderByDirection = (@OrderBy + @DESC)
END
And then writing my case statemet like this:ORDER BY CASE WHEN @Direction='DESC' THEN @OrderByDirection
ELSE @OrderBy
ENDObviously this didn't work either. Is there any way to gracefully accomplish this or do I just have to use a bunch of if/else statements and lots of redundant code to evaluate all my @OrderBy and @Direction parameters???
Thanks in advance,
Jen

Hi,
Im a programmer for an university webportal which uses php and msssql.
When an user creates a new entry and his text is too long the entry is cut short and weird characters appear at the end of the entry.
For example:
http://www.ttz.uni-magdeburg.de/scripts/test-messedb/php/index.php?option=show_presse&funktion=presse_show_mitteilung&id=333
How can I set the text limit to unlimited?
Could it be something else?
Is there a way of splitting an entry to several text fields automatically?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me,
Chris

Hi Everybody,
From the BOL, what I understood is, Text Datatype can accept more characters than 'char' & 'varchar' datatypes. There is no limitation like 8000 characters(what we hv in 'char' & 'varchar').
But I am surprised I am not able to add more than 8000 characters to my text datatype. Can anybody guide me how to do this?. Any help is appreciated.
tks in advance,
Sri

I have a problem within a procedure I am working on. I would like toprocess every column in a table in a cursor. Now to my problem, Ican't save a column of type text into a cursor variable. It's notallowed to use datafields of type text in this context. I also thinkthat I runned in to a simular kind of problem when trying to use textcolumns in triggers.Is there a way to evade this problem or is the only solutions to putthe text colum value into a varchar(8000)?Regards,Jenny

I have a column that is populated similar to below
[URL] ....
I need to extract just the 12345 portion. This will always appear after the first "=" and always be proceeded by &UL. I know how I can do this separately, which would be like
To get 12345&UL
ltrim(rtrim(
substring(
replace(cast(MyCol as nvarchar(max)),
'=',
replicate(cast(' ' as nvarchar(max)),10000)),
10001, 10000)))
And then I could run an update on the table after doing the above step using something like
SUBSTRING(MyCol,0, CHARINDEX('&',MyCol))
What I'd like to do is to have everything performed in one step, the above 2 SQL statements combined as one statement, so a separate update does not need to be ran.

I am trying to use the TEXT datatype for a column to hold large amounts of ascii data.
Creating the table from script I use:
create table mytable
(
firstcolvarchar(30) not null,
secondcolTEXT not null
)
go
The field will not accept strings in length over 16 chars. I looked at the table design in the enterprise manager and it shows 16 chars as the width.
I tried creating the table with TEXT(32000) but I get "The size (32000) given to the column 'secondcol' exceeds the maximum. The largest size allowed is 8000." I thought that TEXT fields are what you use when the length is over 8000. What do I need to do to enable this type of data storage? thanks in advance.

OK, I`ve been researching the use of the TEXT datatype all day and would
like opinions on what I`ve found.
First, a little background. I have been tasked with writing an ASP
application to handle the display of FAQs for a company`s products. I would
like to store all info in a table much like
faqID int
question TEXT
answer TEXT
Simple enough, right? I then tried to create a stored procedure to add a
new FAQ and all hell broke loose. ASP would not pass anything larger than
255 chars to the stored procedure.
I read in the "ADO and SQL Server Developer`s Guide" from Microsoft about
using varchar datatypes of 255 chars (instead of TEXT) and chunking large
text up to fit in these smaller datatypes. This seems like a lot of work.
I also read in "Inside SQL Server 6.5" that "The text datatype is sometimes
awkward to work with. Many functions don`t operate against text, stored
procedures are limited in what they can do with text, and some tools don`t
deal with it well." (page 632). This statement concerns me greatly. How
are stored procedures limited in dealing with TEXT? Do the standard SQL
UPDATE and INSERT commands work or must READTEXT and UPDATETEXT be used
instead?
I guess my question is, what is the best way to accomplish this? I have a
feeling that others have had to do this before. Is SQL Server not meant to
handle large textual objects? Is chunking the best way to go? Will version
7.0 handle this scenario better?
Any help greatly appreciated!

I'm trying to do a simple search for any record that has an empty 'dsc' field. There isn't a NULL character in there, just a SPACE character. The 'dsc' field is a description field so it's datatype is TEXT.
Code:
SELECT id FROM leads WHERE dsc<>''
Normally I can do a VARCHAR(50) like that and get the results I'm looking for. When I do this on a TEXT datatype I get this error:
The text, ntext, and image data types cannot be compared or sorted, except when using IS NULL or LIKE operator.
I I tried a couple of things, but it's not getting me the correct results.
Code:
SELECT id FROM leads WHERE dsc NOT LIKE '% %'
SELECT id FROM leads WHERE dsc NOT LIKE '% '
SELECT id FROM leads WHERE dsc NOT LIKE ' %'
Please shed some light on this.. thanks!
Edited @ 12:08 PM
After some research I found an unconventional way of beating the system. If you have a more conventional way I would still like to see it. A quick fix is using DATALENGTH() function to compare the data. Basically if there are any characters besides NULL and space then the data length will be more than zero.
Code:
SELECT id FROM leads WHERE DATALENGTH(dsc)=0

I have a field with a datatype of text. In SQL it looks like:
Body(text,null)
This field is used for notes. For certain records users will enter a date.
20150425
I'm looking to do a select statement that will grab only those records with a date and make them an int field. This doesn't seem to work.
select convert(int, body)

I have a number of bit datatypes ( Boat types: Cruiser, Sportfisher, Megayacht, Sailboat) that I would like to place in a text box and do away with the individual selections. For instance, some marinas cater to "Cruiser", "Megayacht" and "Sailboat" while others include the "Sportfisher" also and there are many other combinations of vessels. I am stumped at how to write a query that takes the existing "True" values for each boat type and places them in a text box in the form of
" Cruisers, Megayachts, Sailboats" .
Thanks in advance for possible solutions.

I have a large table, tblMessage, which stores e-mail messages in textfields. I need to remove the carriage returns the data in these fields,but I have not yet figured out how to do so.I thought that the way to do this would be with the REPLACE function;unfortunately, of course, the REPLACE function cannot work with TEXTfields. I tried CASTing the text field to VARCHAR(8000); however, someof the rows have more than 8000 characters in the text field, so it bombs.Here is the SQL that I tried:selectmsgID,msgSent,msgFromType,msgFromID,msgSubject,REPLACE (CAST(msgMessage AS varchar(8000)), CHAR(13), '<BR>') ASnewMessage,msgOriginal,attIDinto tblMessageNewfrom tblMessageI'm at my wit's end. Truncating the text field to 8000 character is anacceptable option, but I can't even seem to be able to do that.I'm using SQL Server version 7.

Hai all,
We have quite a strange problem, we have some SP's in our project which is functioning quite well all these days. Suddenly one day we got an error in the SP stating "Invalid Table Name", when we opened the SP and saw in some places the Tablename was replaced with Junk Characters inside the SP !!!!!!!
For Ex: Inside the SP we have the following SELECT query
"SELECT F1 FROM SampleTable"
the above query is getting replaced with
"SELECT F1 FROM SampleTa?le"
The junk character actually appears like a box!!!.. we were absolutely clueless why this was happening. Then if we change the SP once agin and run it starts to execute but only for a short time and the problem comes back once again. When we went through the SQL logs we got this error repeatedly:
"Error: 17805, Severity: 20, State: 3
Invalid buffer received from clients"
We came to know a little about this problem from kb articles in MS that when you are calling an SP from .Net u should specify the parameter data types explicitly and u should not use SQL Client in Finalise method all which we have not done in the application.
Tha SP was using #Table which we replaced to @Tablevariables but still we got the problem once, we are monitoring with the same Table Variables.
We are using SQL Server 2000 SP4. We have got stuck with this problem for days now . Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
