Sorry if this seems a little basic, but I'm putting together an applicationwhere large amounts of text will be required in a single record - way morethan 8000 characters.What's the normal way of coping with this? Splitting into multiple recordseach with a max of 8000 chars?Thanks,JC
View 3 Replies View RelatedAny idea on performance comparison between VARCHAR and CLOB? For example, if I want to insert or update 4000 characters in a field of a row and I am confused whether that column's type would better be decalred as VARCHAR or CLOB, what do you suggest?
View 1 Replies View RelatedUsing a code snippet borrowed from a co-worker, I have put together a query that, among other things, pulls a list value out of an xml clob field and displays it in the query results. My query as it stands right now is below, followed by a snippet from the xml clob that I am pulling from.
select * from
(Select Wtr_Service_Tag, Wtr_Tran_Origin, Wtr_Send_Date, Wtr_Receive_Date,
to_char(substr(wtr_req_xml,instr(substr(wtr_req_xml,1,8000),'SID')+8,12)) Asset_Tag
from ws_transactions
Where Wtr_Service_Tag In ('20458749610')
[Code] ....
This query is only able to pull the first value in the list.
I have two questions...
[1]How can I edit this query to pull all of the list items when there are more than 1? I have another field, in a separate table, that I can pull from to get that number.
[2]This one may be more complex. As currently written, the query pulls a fixed number of characters from the xml clob and either returns not enough data, or too much because the values I need to pull could be of varying lengths. I have no way to query what those lengths might be.
The microsoft JDBC driver doesn't accept CLOB & BLOB field.
Does anyone know about this problem ?
Is it possible to found another driver that works correctly and that is free ?

My source data is present in XML File which is stored in CLOB column Of Oracle. CLOB column is compressed.I need to Migrate data by Uncompressing XML to SQL 2012 .
Do I need to define XML column in SQL Server 2012 for storing Uncompressed CLOB values ?
How to uncompress the clob and extract the required data from XML using SSIS .
How to access the XML, CLOB and BLOB Oracle data through linked server from SQL Server 2012?
I want to retrieve XML, CLOB and BLOB data from SQL Server 2012 through Oracle Linked server .
I have two tables Encounter & Encounter_History. They have same columns. One column is of type CLOB. My requirement is to retrieve all the distinct records from both the tables with order by a date column. But problem is, UNION does not work in case of CLOB data type.
I know it will work if I use UNION ALL, but it returns duplicate records.
Please give me suggestion, how to solve this problem.
For example: The following query does not work since column1 is a CLOB data type
select column1 from table1
union
select column1 from table2

Need to know if the varchar datatype field will ingore leading zeros when compared with numeric datatype ?

Good afternoon,
I have an issue with an ssis variable datatype.
The scenario is as follows:
I have a stored procedure:
PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_newTransaction]
@sourceSystem varchar(50),
@txOut NUMERIC(18,0) OUTPUT
AS
insert into scn_transaction (sourceSystemName) values(@sourceSystem);
SELECT @txOut = @@identity
Whose purpose is to perform an insert into a table and return me the identity value of the inserted record, which I'll then use throughout the rest of my package. The identity column in the inserted table is numeric(18,0).
I execute the stored proc with the following sql with an OLE DB connection manager:
exec sp_newTransaction ?, ?
The first parameter is a string variable from earlier in the package, and the second is the output parameter. I have the following parameter mappings to the execute sql task:
User:ystxId output numeric 1 -1
User:ourceSys input varchar 0 -1
The proc is correctly called, and the row insesrted, however I get a type conversion error when SSIS attempts to map the return parameter to my package variable... I've tried all sorts of combonations, and can't seem to get it to execute.
At one point I wasn't returning a numeric, but rather an int from the stored proc, and all was well until I went to use the variable in a derived column later in the package, and the type was converted quite incorrectly (a 1 was 77799789080 or some such), indicating a type conversion error likely related to the encoding of the number.
I'd like to keep the datatypes as numeric and make ssis use those - any pointers are greatly appreciated as to what type my package variable should be to allow proper assignment of a sql server numeric type to it.
Thanks much,
B

I have a field in a table that stores date of birth. The field's datatype is char(6) and looks like this: 091703 (mmddyy). I want to convert this value to a datetime datatype.
What is the syntax to convert char(6) to datetime?

Hi,
I imported a table from Accees to SQL 7 with data in it.
I need to modify one of the datatype columns to "datetime" from nvarchar.
I tried to convert it manually, in SQL Server Enterprise Manager tool, but it gave me an error.
I also tried, creating another column "DATE2-datatype:datetime" and updating the column with the old one.
UPDATE users SET DATE2 = DATE.. But it also faild,..
How can I modify the column?
Thank you.
HI,I have a table with IDENTITY column with the datatype as INTEGER. Nowthis table record count is almost reaching its limt. that is totalrecord count is almost near to 2^31-1. It will reach the limit with inanother one or two months.In order to avoid the arithmentic overflow error 8115, we would likechange the datatype from INT to BIGINT. we hope this will solve ourproblem.How do I approch this datatype conversion?. Since the data count ishuge, that leads to a long down time of database.we need better approach or solution for this problem?. kindly give mea better solution that will reduce the total downtime of the productiondatabase.?.Regards

I have a challenge and am not very versed with coding this situation. The situation is I am trying to put long text (more that 255 char) in a ntext field in SQL7, but the max char can input is only 255. Anyone can advice on how to put in more that 255 char in a field as well as how to select back the record whice more than 255 char.
Please give advice if you encounter this problem before.

Anyone have same sample on how to put in and retrive long text (more then 255 characters).
Please Comment.

You should use readtext and writetext to access text column. By the way, nchar and nvarchar can hold up to 4000 characteres.

How long exactly is the text datatype in non-unicode characters for SQLS7? I guess I need to find out how long my input is and break it up into multiple text fields, but what's the max length?

Hi
When writing a stored procedure,sometimes the line of sql code could be very long and be more than 128 caracthers.
I got an error message saying that the code is vey long and the maximum is 128.
But at the same time, this is erratic in MSSQL server because it works sometimes even with a line of code of more than 800 caracters...
Have you ever experienced the same problem??
What is the solution?
Thanks

Hello.
I have a query that takes 1,5second to execute, but only 150ms of CPU. The query is quite simple, just one where statement against a clustered index.
SQL Server Execution Times:
CPU time = 156 ms, elapsed time = 1595 ms.
SELECT column1, column3, column4, ..., column10 FROM table WHERE column2 IN (37, 41, 43, 45, 49, 53, 55) ORDER BY column3 DESC
|--Sort(TOP 1000, ORDER BY:([u].[LastActivityDate] DESC))
|--Clustered Index Seek(OBJECT:([MP].[dbo].[__searchtest].[cix___searchtest_] AS [u]), SEEK:([u].[searchparamid]=37 OR [u].[searchparamid]=41 OR [u].[searchparamid]=43 OR [u].[searchparamid]=45 OR [u].[searchparamid]=49 OR [u].[searchparamid]=53 OR [u].[searchparamid]=55 OR [u].[searchparamid]=59) ORDERED FORWARD)
I have tried to rewrite the query to an INNER JOIN instead.
|--Sort(TOP 1000, ORDER BY:([u].[LastActivityDate] DESC))
|--Nested Loops(Inner Join, OUTER REFERENCES:([spal].[number]))
|--Index Seek(OBJECT:([MP].[dbo].[__search_parameters_lookup].[IX___search_parameters_lookup] AS [spal]), SEEK:([spal].[hash]=-1726604993) ORDERED FORWARD)
|--Clustered Index Seek(OBJECT:([MP].[dbo].[__searchtest].[cix___searchtest_] AS [u]), SEEK:([u].[searchparamid]=[spal].[number]) ORDERED FORWARD)
but the query still takes 1,5 seconds.
It spends 59% (according to execution plan) of sorting. 14% for the index seek of the __search_parameters_lookup table and then 24% of a clustered index seek of the __searchtest table.
How come it only uses that small of CPU but it still takes 1,5 seconds? It seems to be reading from memory as well so it shouldnt be an IO-problem?
The index I have on the table is a clustered index on (column 2).
Any ideas of how I can improve this? I have tried with DTA, also with a non clustered index on column3.
If I remove some columns from the SELECT-list the query will execute alot faster:
SQL Server Execution Times:
CPU time = 32 ms, elapsed time = 32 ms.
Booth the CPU and the elapsed time goes down and now appears to be more normal.
So there seems to be a problem caused by data transfer.
I tried to do a remake and normalize the table and when I do that I get the query execute with a speed of 400ms CPU and 400ms total. And this is still the exact same result, so why does it only spend 400ms of "rendering" or fetching the data when the tables are normalized but 1500ms when its denormalized?
Any ideas?

Hi everyone,
I have tranferred my database from Access to SQL. In some cases where there is a very long text in the field of "content" (thats the name of the field) appears the sign <Long Text> while in some other fieldsof the "content" the text appears normally...
I have used ntext 16 as a datatype... How can i dissapear this sign from the field...is there any way?? Thank you

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,I am still not very proficient in SQLServer. So apology if thequestion sounds basic.We have a script to clean old unwanted data. It basically deletesall rows which are more than 2 weeks old. It deletes data from33 tables and the number of rows in each table runs into few millions.What I see in the script (not written by me :-) ) is that all data isdeleted within a single BEGIN TRANSACTION and COMMIT TRANSACTION. AsI have background in informix, such an action in Informix may resultin "LONG TRANSACTION PROBLEM". Does SQLServer have a similar concept.Also won't it have performance problem if all rows are marked lockedtill they are committed.TIA.

Problems Encountered Upgrading SQL 2005 SP1 to SQL 2005 SP2 (9.0.3042.1):
In Summary:
Maintenance Plans Broken
Database Mail Broken
Reporting Services Report Viewer web part displays US Format dates instead of report design English-Australian. .
In Detail:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP2 was downloaded from Microsoft.com. This download occurred after 5 March 2007 and the file version was 9.0.3042.1 (SQLServer2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe)
During the Installation of SP2 by a Domain Administrator an error occurred on the Database Engine. A Hotfix Exception was raised and the setup completed with errors.
The Error Log reported a problem:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Database Services (MSSQLSERVER)
Product Version (Previous): 2047
Product Version (Final) :

Log File : C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGHotfixSQL9_Hotfix_KB921896_sqlrun_sql.msp.log
Error Number : 29534
Error Description : MSP Error: 29534 Service 'MSSQLSERVER' could not be started. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. The error code is (1067) The process terminated unexpectedly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The SQL Server service could not be manually started. An error was reported in the event viewer:
One or more files do not match the primary file of the database. If you are attempting to attach a database, retry the operation with the correct files. If this is an existing database, the file may be corrupted and should be restored from a backup.
It was noted that a new file mssqlsystemresource.ldf had been copied to the %data% folder.
Note: As part of separating data and log files, both the master and mssqlsystemresource databases had been previously moved to another volume %data% whilst their respective log files had been moved to a separate volume also %log%. This had occurred after SP1 was initially installed and months prior to the SP2 install using Microsoft KB articles to detach and reattach the databases. It appears that the SP2 installer does not work correctly if mssqlsystemresource mdf and ldf files are not in the same location.
Whilst the Engine could not be started €“ the new mssqlsystemresource.ldf file was manually moved to the %log% file, overwriting the previous version.
The SQL Server Service was now able to start without any errors.
Since the SQL Server Service has been started two major errors have become apparent:
The following error is recorded when trying to create a new maintenance plan:

Database Mail is also broken on the server. The Database Mail Log reports an €œActivation Failure€? when a test email is sent. (the email does not arrive). The SQL Log and event viewer also report the following message:
The activated proc [dbo].[sp_sysmail_activate] running on queue msdb.dbo.ExternalMailQueue output the following: 'Error executing extended stored procedure: Invalid Parameter'
Another error affects Reporting Services reports that are accessed using the SharePoint V2.0 Web parts ( rsWebparts.cab) . The date picker in the Report Viewer web part now only recognises US format dates. It is important to note that the same reports run through the Report Manager web site work correctly using DD/MM/YYYY (English-Australian ) date format for the report picker.
It is noted that the rsWebparts.cab file was not updated by SQL 2005 SP2 install. However, the behaviour of the Report Viewer web part has definitely been affected by the SP2 install.
Are the first two issues related? Are they due to the fact that mssqlsystemresource mdf and ldf files had been moved to an unexpected location prior to SP2? How can this be fixed?
Are the Reporting Services SharePoint (V2) web parts going to be updated? We are not in a position to upgrade our Portal 2003/SharePoint Servcies V2 installation at the present time.
